November 1-8 and the Month’s Dedication to the Holy Souls November 1 begins the unofficial “All Saints Octave”: the eight days of November 1 to November 8. Each day of the “octave” one can earn a plenary indulgence for the souls in Purgatory. A visit to the cemetery to pray for the dead can earn a “get out of jail free” card for a soul in Purgatory! I love this time of year, not because of the fall season or pumpkin spice lattes (which I dislike), but because I feel a special closeness with all our brothers and sisters of the Mystical Body of Christ, particularly the departed brothers and sisters. In our daily lives we can easily forget the people who are no longer with us on earth, but they are still closely connected with us. Jesus used images of His Body and also the Vine and Branches to remind us how we remain with Him always, and interconnected with all the faithful, whether we are the Church Militant on earth, working to reach heaven, the Church Suffering waiting to go to heaven …More
Allerseelenablass m Zusammenhang mit dem Gedächtnis aller Seelen, im Kirchenjahr der römisch-katholischen Kirche als Gedenktag am 2. November begangen, können die Gläubigen im Zeitraum vom 1. bis zum 8. November nach den Bestimmungen der Kirche täglich einmal einen vollkommenen Ablass gewinnen. Dieser Allerseelenablass kann nur den Armen Seelen im Fegefeuer zugewandt werden. Ein Ablass ist nach Lehre der katholischen Kirche ein von Gott geschenkter und durch die Kirche vermittelter Nachlass zeitlicher Sündenstrafen für Lebende und Verstorbene. Voraussetzung für die Gewinnung eines Ablasses ist nicht so sehr das äußere Werk, sondern vielmehr die innere Bußgesinnung als Haltung der Offenheit gegenüber Gott, der allein Sünden vergibt und das göttliche Leben schenkt. Zur Gewinnung des Allerseelenablasses sind die üblichen Voraussetzungen erforderlich: der Empfang des Bußsakraments, wobei der einmalige Empfang bei entsprechender Disposition für die Gewinnung mehrerer vollkommener …More
"I believe that we should not think of the Church in terms of priests, but in terms of parishes. We cannot say: there are fewer priests, so there must also be fewer parishes. My approach is different: we should ask ourselves what parishes need in order to remain alive locally – even if there is no priest present every Sunday."
Archbishop Josef Grünwidl of Vienna, Austria, who was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on 17 October, would rather have parishes without priests than have the faithful drive distances to attend a Eucharist. He told the Austrian state broadcaster ORF (October 30): "I believe that we should not think of the Church in terms of priests, but in terms of parishes. We cannot say: there are fewer priests, so there must also be fewer parishes. My approach is different: we should ask ourselves what parishes need in order to remain alive locally – even if there is no priest present every Sunday. It's about empowering parishes to live independently. This includes having women and men who support and organize parish life, even if a priest is no longer regularly available as in the past."

NOVEMBER 1 ALL SAINTS DAY breski1 SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS Today the Church, as the liturgy states, has "the joy of celebrating in one feast the merits and the glory of all the Saints" : not only of those whom she has canonized in the course of the centuries, but also of the numberless men and women whose holiness, hidden in this world, is only known to God and shines in his eternal kingdom. Thinking of these illustrious witnesses of the Gospel, we give thanks to God, "source of all holiness" for having given them to the Church and to the world. With their example, they prove that, as the Council teaches, "All the faithful are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity" (Lumen gentium, n. 40), tending to the "high standard" of ordinary Christian life (cf. Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio ineunte, n.31). Today's feast invites us to lift our eyes to heaven, the goal of our earthly pilgrimage. There the festive community of the saints awaits us. There we will …More

On 4 November 2025, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will present the doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis. It is about Marian titles and the role of Our Lady in the process of salvation. The speakers will be Tucho Cardinal Fernández, author of soft porn, and Prof Maurizio Gronchi. The latter became infamous for defending the document Amoris Laetitia and and its idea of giving Communion to adulterers.

It's obvious why this is coming Now... It's the old "Vatican II step" After ALL the outrageous, heretical garbage that Leo & company have done the past several months, they need to throw a bone to conservatives so "Trad Inc." can affirm that "Leo is Catholic!" Nothing to see here. ZIP IT!

[St. Jean-Marie Baptiste Vianney, the Cure d’Ars – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Dardilly, Kingdom of France/Ars-sur-Formans, French Empire – Priest] “Ah, you say, you are making more of it than there really is! I say too much about it? Very well, then. Listen. Did the Holy Fathers of the Church say too much about it? St. Ephraim tells us that dancing is the perdition of girls and women, the blinding of men, the grief of angels, and the joy of the devils. Dear God, can anyone really have their eyes bewitched to such an extent that they will still want to believe that there is no harm in it, while all the time it is the rope by which the Devil pulls the most souls into Hell? . . . Go on, poor parents, blind and lost, go on and scorn what your pastor is telling you! Go on! Continue the way you are going! Listen to everything and profit nothing by it! There is no harm in it? Tell me, then, what did you renounce on the day of your Baptism? Or on what conditions was Baptism given to you? Was it …More
"Listen to St. Augustine and you will see if dancing is a good action. He tells us that "dancing is the ruin of souls, a reversal of all decency, a shameful spectacle, a public profession of crime." St. Ephraim calls it "the ruin of good morals and the nourishment of vice." St. John Chrysostom: "A school of public unchastity." Tertullian: "The temple of Venus, the consistory of shamelessness, and the citadel of all the depravities." "Here is a girl who dances," says St. Ambrose, "but she is the daughter of an adulteress because a Christian woman would teach her daughter modesty, a proper sense of shame, and not dancing!"
