“There have been endless dialogues with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, but they simply circle around,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com on December 12. “There is no way around recognising the Second Vatican Council as the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.” He added: “The claim that the Lefebvrists are the last bastion of true Catholicity must finally come to an end.” At the same time, Cardinal Müller acknowledged that the Fraternity has correctly identified “the wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ by self-appointed reformers in the style of Modernism.” But, he insisted, “there is never a justification for distancing oneself from the Catholic Church — even though the Church is a mixture of saints and sinners.” For Cardinal Müller, the moment has come for “all Catholics to reunite in the truth of Christ, who in the person of St Peter and his successor, Pope Leo XIV, has established an enduring principle and foundation of …More
Interviewers need to begin pressing these waffling conservative cardinals by asking: Does not the Second Vatican Council have a relationship with the Protestant Reformation? If so--and it does--does not the solution for today have a relationship with the Counter-Reformation?
"23. And after a few years I was again in Britain with my parents [kinsfolk], and they welcomed me as a son, and asked me, in faith, that after the great tribulations I had endured I should not go anywhere else away from them. And, of course, there, in a vision of the night, I saw a man whose name was Victoricus coming as if from Ireland with innumerable letters, and he gave me one of them, and I read the beginning of the letter: “The Voice of the Irish”; and as I was reading the beginning of the letter I seemed at that moment to hear the voice of those who were beside the forest of Foclut which is near the western sea, and they were crying as if with one voice: “We beg you, holy youth, that you shall come and shall walk again among us.” And I was stung intensely in my heart so that I could read no more, and thus I awoke. Thanks be to God, because after so many years the Lord bestowed on them according to their cry."
[Saint Patrick - mid-fifth to early-sixth century; Roman Britain/Ireland; Missionary, Bishop; Apostle of Ireland] “20. The very same night while I was sleeping Satan attacked me violently, as I will remember as long as I shall be in this body; and there fell on top of me as it were, a huge rock, and not one of my members had any force. But from whence did it come to me, ignorant in the spirit, to call upon Helias? And meanwhile I saw the sun rising in the sky, and while I was crying out “Helias, Helias” with all my might, lo, the brilliance of that sun fell upon me and immediately shook me free of all the weight; and I believe that I was aided by Christ my Lord, and that his Spirit then was crying out for me, and I hope that it will be so in the day of my affliction, just as it says in the Gospel: “In that hour”, the Lord declares, “it is not you who speaks but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.” 21. And a second time, after many years, I was taken captive. On the first night …More

Sarah Mullally, the first woman appointed "Archbishop of Canterbury" of the Church of England, has been accused of mishandling an abuse case. She is due to take office on January 28. The allegation centers on her decision to send a confidential email about abuse claims directly to the accused priest, bypassing formal disciplinary procedures. The case involves a victim known as “Survivor N,” who filed a formal complaint in 2020 and reportedly received no response. Mullally has since acknowledged that "Survivor N" was not given adequate support by the Church.
