THIRTEEN Oakland Churches Close Because So few People Now Attending Mass

Thirteen Catholic churches in a single region in California are slated to close down due to a lack of parishioners, priests and money following a string of sexual abuse lawsuits, officials said.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Bishop Michael Barber said 12 sites and a pastoral center would all be shuttered in the Oakland area, about 400 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
With fewer parishioners and priests, Bishop Barber said not all of the parishes had the funds available to fully support and staff the buildings and their mission.
‘Others are surviving on rental of parish parking lots or empty school facilities. The status quo is not sustainable nor is it serving God’s people,’ Bishop Barber said.
He added that the move came as part of the diocese’s Mission Alignment Process (MAP).
The process, according to Bishop Barber, seeks to engage both the clergy and parishioners in a ‘process of self-reflection and renewal’.
His statement also comes just a few years after the diocese filed …

The Laity are waking up, and fed up with the lack of Justice.
Instead of correcting issues, the Dioceses simply follow the McElroy example and wash their hands of the issue.
Additionally, when you have a Pope who pretends to be Christ who worships and promotes Pachamama, this apostasy effects the Spiritual fabric of the very Church itself.
The False Church is collapsing Spiritually, and now physically.

Early Resignation of Moscow Archbishop Paolo Pezzi

Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure.
InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post."
Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese.
Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007. He has been a Russian citizen since 2011.
In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states.
Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity …More

Conservative Social Position: He has maintained a stance opposed to the Vatican's more inclusive approach on gay priests, suggesting that homosexual tendencies can be "healed through a return to God".
Archbishop Paolo Pezzi, the Catholic Archbishop of Moscow, has faced criticism primarily for his cautious, diplomatic approach to political matters within Russia, including concerns over his silence regarding the repression of Christians and his perceived alignment with conservative stances, such as on LGBTQ+ inclusion.

“Pezzi generally shares the position expressed in the statement, but the internal rules of the Roman Catholic Church do not allow him to make similar statements on his behalf,” Gorbunov said, according the Russian news agency RIA.

Iraqi father arrested in Sweden for beating and imprisoning daughter in Italy over forced marriage plot – Allah's Willing Executioners

Medforth AI
An Iraqi father accused of beating, imprisoning, and threatening to kill his daughter after she refused an arranged marriage has been arrested in Sweden on a European warrant issued by Italian authorities.
The 52-year-old man was tracked down by Taranto State Police after the authorities in southern Italy opened an investigation into domestic abuse and forced marriage following a complaint from the young woman last November.
As reported by
Il Giornale, prosecutors say the victim told officers her father had demanded she marry a Kurdish man selected by him and had threatened her with death if she resisted or tried to flee abroad.
The woman had traveled from Iraq to join her family in Taranto, but investigators say she soon found herself trapped in what police described as a family campaign to force her into submission.
According to the allegations, her relatives sided with her father because they believed she wanted to live in a way that was too “Western” and incompatible …

Leo XIV Appoints Smuggled Illegal Immigrant as U.S. Bishop

Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump.
Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, currently auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington, is the new bishop of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia. He is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk.
Furthermore, Leo XIV elevated the prelates Gary Studniewski, 68, and Robert Boxie, 45, as new auxiliary bishops for Washington Archdiocese.
Cardinal McElroy of Washington is one of the strongest pro-homosexual infiltrators. He publicly defended Fiducia Supplicans and said U.S. opposition focused on homosexual blessings reflected “enduring animus” toward homosexuals.
His Archdiocese of Washington spans Washington, D.C., and surrounding Maryland communities, placing its bishops in regular contact with policymakers, diplomats and national media.
With Menjivar, Boxie and Studniewski, Leo XIV has again reinforced a leadership group …More

12 Ways to Overcome a Scrupulous Conscience

DIFFICULT MORAL QUESTIONS: The good news is that scrupulosity is not incompatible with holiness. More good news is that the malady can be overcome. Here are 12 points of advice for doing so.
Most of us have experienced scruples in our spiritual life and some of us have found them spiritually crippling. St. Ignatius of Loyola
defines scruple as “when I freely decide that that is sin which is not sin.” The scrupulous conscience sees sin where there is none.
We should distinguish this from a sensitive or tender conscience. A tender conscience is a true conscience. It is sensitive to occasions of venial sin. For example, it avoids ever speaking contrary to what one believes to be true, even in small matters, so-called “white lies.” It avoids watching television shows that disrespect the Lord, his commandments or the Church, because one doesn’t want the images and blasphemies in one’s mind. It refrains from negativity, especially when speaking about others who are not present.

Ignorance or Bad Faith - on Leo XIV's Reception of Mrs Mullally

On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text:
"There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.'
What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter?
Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions?
Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More

Does Ignorance mean direction nowadays?

la verdad prevalece

There is not even the possibility of ignorance that excuses their betrayal, since this implies that they lack the necessary qualifications for the office they usurp. Prevost, Tagle, Koch, and Flavio Pace and the other minions have committed a sin of malice. They are apostates and are not in communion with the Catholic Church, as established by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith itself— under the pontificate of John Paul II—wherein it is specified that priests take an oath of profession of faith, and where it is clearly taught that Anglican orders are invalid and null. The Church has indicated that this heretical sect lacks apostolic succession. Furthermore, that same decree states: "15 Whoever denies these truths would be in a position of rejecting a truth of Catholic doctrine 16 and would therefore no longer be in full communion with the Catholic Church."
Pope Leo XIII’s 1896, Apostolicae Curae: Anglican orders are “absolutely null and utterly void”

With preparation and planning this crisis can result in a revolutionary change in our food supply that will be a silver lining.

Outside of Leo’s consistories – in January and upcoming in June – the October meeting will be the first such between a pope and only prelates for many years. The Synod on Synodality’s setup saw the participation of lay people as voting members, and at the time looked likely to be the format used in the future under Pope Francis.

"2.6 MARY PROCLAIMED TO PIOUS PAGANS.
I saw also that by the great mercy of God it was announced to certain God-fearing heathens that the Messiah was to be born from a virgin in Judea. The ancestors of the three holy kings, the star-worshippers of Chaldea, received this message by the appearance of a picture in a star or in the sky, by which they made prophecies. I saw traces of these prophetic images of the Blessed Virgin in the pictures in their temple, which I have described in my account of Jesus’ visit to them after the raising of Lazarus in the last quarter of the third year of His ministry."

For this purpose he sent forth three of the sons of the prophets, but only after asking a sign from God that he had decided rightly, for it was a difficult and dangerous mission, and he had to choose messengers whose prudence would lessen the danger of their being murdered. One traveled northwards, one eastwards, and the third southwards. This last one had to pass through a considerable part of Egyptian territory, where the Israelites were in particular danger of being killed …More

Donald Trump vs Léon XIV : heureuse polémique
ktotv
Parfois, si regrettable soit-elle, une polémique peut avoir des effets positifs. La récente opposition entre le président des Etats-Unis et le Pape est de celle-là. En critiquant avec une certaine brutalité le pape américain sur les réseaux sociaux, l'irascible Donald Trump a contribué à faire découvrir aux médias du monde entier la stature véritable de Léon XIV. Si l'actuel successeur de Pierre est un homme de nature plus réservée que son prédécesseur, il est aussi un pasteur d'âmes, qui annonce l'Evangile avec une calme obstination à temps et contretemps. Quitte à déplaire aux puissants. Et cela est une bonne chose. Une chronique avec le père Eric de Beukelaer.

‘The Complete Visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich’ ~ ‘The bitter passion of our Lord Jesus Christ’ ~ part 2 ~ MEDITATION III, IV & V; ‘Arrangements for eating the Paschal Lamb.’

Meditation III ~ Arrangements for eating the Paschal Lamb.
When the disciples had spoken to Heli of Hebron
, the latter went back into the house by the court, but they turned to the right, and hastened down the north side of the hill, through Sion. They passed over a bridge, and walking along a road covered with brambles, reached the other side of the ravine, which was in front of the Temple, and of the row of houses which were to the south of that building. There stood the house of the aged Simeon, who died in the Temple after the presentation of our Lord; and his sons, some of whom were disciples of Jesus in secret, were actually living there. The Apostles spoke to one of them, a tall …More
