Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, of Hong Kong, responded publicly to an article by Fr. Han Qingping concerning the “retirement” of Bishop Zhang Weizhu of the Diocese of Xinxiang and the consecration of Bishop Li Jianlin. Fr. Han’s article described the replacement of the persecuted underground bishop with the state-recognized bishop as a positive sign of improving Sino-Vatican relations. He claimed that critics of the situation - implicitly referring to Cardinal Zen - were motivated by “stupidity,” “malice,” or a “distorted personality.” “This struck a nerve with me,” Cardinal Zen replied via his personal blog on December 11: “I don’t admit to being a ‘bad person’ or having a ‘personality disorder,’ but I am indeed ‘stupid’ enough to ‘take it personally.’” Zen also responded to Fr. Han’s reference to his criticism of the Synod on Synodality. He clarified that his description of “Church suicide behavior” does not refer to the synod as a whole or to synodality in general, but …More
The "Mother of the true God" destroys the heresy of the religious indifferentism promoted by Prevost. Just ten years after the conquest of Mexico, the Blessed Virgin appeared in Tepeyac, Mexico. She used an Indian recently converted to the Catholic faith called Juan Diego on Tuesday, December 12, 1531 to bring out the idolatry of the Native Indians. She was presented as "the perfect ever Virgin Saint Mary, Mother of the true God" to make known the Gospel of her son Jesus Christ to the native Indians of the New Continent. ´Know thou, O my beloved child, that I am the Ever Virgin Mary, Mother of the true God, the Author of Life, Creator of all, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Who is present everywhere´ Nine million inhabitants converted to Christianity. That for centuries they had professed a polytheistic religion and practiced the most cruel human sacrifices. One of the first Franciscan Fathers, Toribio de Benavente, affirmed in 1537, just six years after after the appearance of Our Lady …More
Leo XIV received George Weigel in audience, today.
Questa mattina Papa Leone XIV ha ricevuto in udienza il professor George Weigel. George Weigel è uno scrittore neoconservatore cattolico americano. Il 27 gennaio 2017, in risposta alle voci secondo cui Weigel sarebbe stato nominato ambasciatore presso la Santa Sede, l'allora cardinale Theodore Edgar McCarrick scrisse a papa Francesco affermando che Weigel era "un vero leader dell'ala ultraconservatrice della Chiesa cattolica negli Stati Uniti e in passato è stato pubblicamente critico nei confronti di Sua Santità". Aggiunse: "Molti di noi vescovi americani sarebbero molto preoccupati che venisse nominato in una posizione del genere, in cui avrebbe una voce ufficiale, in opposizione al vostro insegnamento". McCarrick indicò che sarebbe stato felice di discutere ulteriormente l'argomento con il papa... ...Weigel ha criticato il Sinodo sull'Amazzonia del 2019 e la struttura dei sinodi ecclesiastici in generale, affermando che non rappresentano mai pienamente ciò in cui credono i laici …More
Cardinal Cobo Did Not Attend Homosexual Event because of "Ultra" Catholics: Sister María Luisa Berzosa, a religious sister in civilian clothes from the Daughters of Jesus, explained in a talk on November 26 for the Diocese of Teruel why Cardinal José Cobo didn’t attend a homosexual propaganda meeting in Madrid at the end of August. “Some ultras are going to come and disrupt the event, and the message will not get across,” Cardinal Cobo reportedly said. The cardinal, she said, met with the organisers ahead of the event and made clear that his absence was “not because of you”,
María Luisa Berzosa: “Entonces el grupo de Crismón, con el anfitrión, fueron a hablar con el cardenal Cobo, para invitarle, para informarle y tal.” “Y entonces Cobo dijo, no voy a ir a la asamblea.” “pero no por vosotros, sino porque van a venir algunos ultras y van a reventar el acto y el mensaje no va a llegar.” “Entonces, ¿qué hizo?” “Escribió una carta, no sé si la habéis visto porque ha circulado, una carta preciosa de acogida desde el Evangelio, no una carta de compromiso, de saludito, no, no, no, una carta de definición de Evangelio.” “Entonces, yo la mandé inmediatamente a los grupos de Italia, traducidos, me ha corrido la carta y ha llegado a todo el mundo.” “Y no se ha reventado el acto, como decía él, porque entonces pierdes el mensaje.” “Y a veces en los tonos que utilizamos también, tengamos cuidado, no nos pongamos agresivos ni enfadados porque luego el mensaje no llega.” “[…] que no se pierda el mensaje, como decía Cobo.”

“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
He accurately, describes the Synodal Way, but as @sp2 . . noted these attitudes and intentions are not just applicable to the Church in Germany but are found everywhere in the Western Latin Rite!
“It is nothing other than a heretical attempt to replace the Christian understanding of the human person with gender ideology, and to present this corruption of doctrine to a naïve audience as its so-called ‘development’.” Dear Cardinal Mueller, What you say about the German Church, is also rampant throughout the entire Church today. Time to wake up and stop drinking your bath water. How can you defend a wonderful Church that elevates practitioners of The Cult of Maria Lionza to Sainthood, and by the way have no intentions of reversing it? Have you spoken up on this issue - of course not. Since Francis elevated you to a higher position, you are loyal to his rubbish. You also said this: 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 unity.” Dear Cardinal Mueller - Would the Successor of Jesus Christ through the Apostle …More
The world only makes sense once you accept Sedevacantism. Reality demands it. Sedevacantism is not a novelty — it is simply Roman Catholicism living through an extraordinarily long Papal interregnum. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us. #Sedevacantism #VacantSince58
Two young Afghan asylum seekers were allowed to roam the streets even after they admitted the brutal rape of a 15-year-old girl, the Daily Mail can reveal. Despite their horrific crime, 17-year-olds Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal were not remanded in custody by a district judge sitting at Coventry youth court when they both entered guilty pleas on October 21. Instead, they were separately remanded into the care of social services and left free to wander, with orders to stay at their accommodation between the hours of 7pm and 7am, a decision branded 'shocking' by Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp. The pair, who brazenly dragged their victim into a secluded part of a public park and raped her, were not placed in youth detention until November 19 - six months after the attack - when they appeared before a more senior Crown Court judge at Warwick for sentencing. The sentencing judge Sylvia de Bertodano, who later concluded that the boys posed such a danger to the public that they would each …
