Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Benedito Araújo as the new Bishop of Campo Maior, Brazil (45 priests). Bishop Araújo was born on November 21, 1963, in Paço do Lumiar, Brazil. He earned a licentiate on "ecumenism" in Venice, Italy. He was ordained a priest in 1991 and worked as seminary rector, parish priest, and professor. Benedict XVI. appointed him Bishop of Guajará-Mirim in 2011 (only a dozen priests). Fan of Francis In November 2014, Bishop Araújo called Pope Francis “very charismatic”, including with “those who profess a different faith.” “In this sense, the Pope makes us very sensitive to this openness, this encounter, to become aware of the cries of humanity.” Member of Amazon Synod In July 2018, Bishop Araújo spoke of “a special moment, when we are all involved in responding to Pope Francis' proposal regarding the Synod of the Amazon.” Francis chose Bishop Araújo as participant of the Amazonian Synod in October 2019.

Any relatively good episcopal picks so far by Leo? I haven't seen any. My archdiocese of Denver will be getting a new archbishop very soon; it's six weeks since our current archbishop turned 75. Am I shaking in my boots? No, I am a Cubs' fan, and so I expect the worst.

08.11.2025 ‘A THEOLOGICAL EARTHQUAKE’ IF A CARDINAL INTERPRETS VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONALLY STATES AI ON ‘X’ I was not allowed to study philosophy and theology in Rome and Karachi because I believed in the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).I thought a dogma did not change.Today conservative cardinals are not allowed to interpret Vatican Council II rationally.Why ? For them they would be affirming the dogma EENS- in the original. They are not allowed to say that Ad Gentes 7 is aligned with EENS and LG 8, 14. 16 etc are not practical exceptions for AG 7 or EENS. Vatican Council II rational, the baptism of desire rational and EENS rational, are prohibited. This is the understanding the Vatican has with the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and the Islamic and other countries. So all bishops have to interpret Vatican Council II, irrationally, deliberately or… Pope Leo too has to interpret the Council and Catechism irrationally (i.e. LG 16 is a physically visible case in 2025-2026). The …More
On 31 October, Rev Michael Korell of the Archdiocese of Munich, Germany, held a "Halloween-service" in the funeral hall of the city cemetery in Freising. Dressed in a Dracula cape, he prayed beside a half-open coffin amid fog effects. Around 50 people attended. Following criticism that the service appeared 'occult', the city parish issued a brief apology, stating that the concept should have been explained more clearly and that the name 'Halloween service' may have been inappropriate.
Kaplan Michael Korell von Freising (Erzbistum München) feierte am 31. Oktober im Dracula-Cape einen „Halloween-Gottesdienst“ in der Aussegnungshalle des Stadtfriedhofs. Er betete am halboffenen Sarg mit viel Kunstnebel. 50 Schaulustige kamen. Nach Kritik an der „okkulten“ Veranstaltung veröffentlichte die Stadtkirche eine halbherzige Entschuldigung. Man hätte das Konzept besser vorstellen sollen. Der Name „Halloween-Gottesdienst sei problematisch“.
You said it, "CRAP" but as far as I know, not this way, the way it's been done today is truly 'crap', before people never did that in the least, those days were days of reflection, and prayer, and offering sacrifices and mass for the faithful departed and the ones agonizing, you never saw anyone dressed up to go to the devi'ls party, I grew up as a child with that kind of formation, respect to the dead, the church's teachings and what to do and what not to do, today all is valid, all is permissible, you want to go to mass dress as a gigolo or as a prostitute you can no problem we are all children of God, you want to show how gay, transgender you are, etc, no problem you are loved a child of God, do not be judgemental. What? I did not grow up like that and children today are being taught that's ok, and it's normal, NO IT'S NOT, ENOUGH IF ENOUGH AS A CHILD THEY TAUGHT US ABOUT THE DANGERS OF LOSING OUR SALVATION, TODAY NO WORRIES GOD IS SO MERCIFUL YOU WILL MAKE IT TO A GOOD PURGATORY, …More
