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 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
Rev. Vitus - The hymn "Tantum Ergo" was written by St. Thomas Aquinas, around 12... The hymn "Tantum Ergo" was written by St. Thomas Aquinas, around 1264. It comprises the final two stanzas of his longer hymn "Pange Lingua," which was composed for the Feast of Corpus Christi. This hymn emphasizes the mystery of the Eucharist and is traditionally sung during x.com/Vitus_oss/status/1999714196276076974/video/1
“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 "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
Obviously an old post - it's too late to pray that Francis die "repentant." that ship has sailed. While true that ONLY God judges & knows, it doesn't look good from what information we have.
"No one's body is polluted so as to endanger the soul if it has not pleased the mind. If you were to lift my hand to your idol and so make me offer against my will, I would still be guiltless in the sight of the true God, who judges according to the will." - St. Lucy
Quick three minute summary of why the Catholic teaching on the "Errors of Russia," still stands today! "In fact, the most persistent enemies of the Church, who from Moscow are directing the struggle against Christian civilization, themselves bear witness, by their unceasing attacks in word and act, that even to this hour" Pius XI
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.
Sarah Mullally, prima donna eletta alla guida della Chiesa anglicana con la carica di arcivescovo di Canterbury in risposta agli scandali sessuali di pedofilia e di accuse d'insabbiamenti che hanno investito nel Regno Unito non pochi presuli uomini, è finita sotto accusa per aver gestito in modo improprio un caso di abusi...
