The past week has been buzzing with rumors to the effect that Leo XIV has instructed the Dicastery for Divine Worship to issue “extensions” on the TLM whenever bishops ask for them. In this way, as Kevin Tierney explains, he has begun the practical repeal of And yet… even if the rumor is true (the nuncio to Great Britain has affirmed it with a classic non-denial), it still means that the fate of the TLM is left latent schism”—remain official and operative. Which brings me to the point of this post. Very often people will ask, as I myself asked for years: “Why in the world would the Church’s leaders persecute some of the most faithful Catholics—those who form the TLM communities?” The answer is not an agreeable one, but sometimes we must take bitter medicine in order to get well. Truth can be the bitterest of medicines. And of all the sicknesses in the Church, denial of reality is one of the most widespread and most unacknowledged. When this sickness is not diagnosed, the sufferer …
Norwegian bishop Erik Varden spoke to 'Communio' magazine on November 19 about personal experiences. Key quotes from this wonderful interview – including wishful thinking. - I am not convinced by the sociological data on religion, which suggests that religious indifference is on the rise. - I have the utmost respect for the Pew Research Centre, but I must say that, purely empirically, the statement does not correspond with my own observations. - The trend is clear and growing steadily: young people long for substance. I see them faithfully attending well-prepared and carefully designed Eucharists. - What I am witnessing is a new search for meaning, for criteria, for community, for truth. - In Scandinavia, secularisation has now come to an end. Quite simply because there is actually nothing left to secularise. - The fact that human beings somehow carry a desire for the limitless within themselves is also evident in a very secular discourse, most recently in transhumanism. - When confronted …More
A large part of Radical Fidelity’s mission is to show, from as many angles as possible, that the sinister drivel flowing from the Vatican is not the real Catholic Faith. It is not even a slight deviation, or a watered-down version, nor is it the But a different religion, nonetheless. If I were merely some lunatic raving day after day about the superiority of Rugby over Iron Grid, or whether one political party is better than another, I could understand if people relegated my writings to the permanently deleted bin. They would be justified. But that is not the case. If you believe As I said, there are, of course, those who have read this far and whose eyes by now have glazed over due to the modernist spiritual fluoride they have been ingesting through the “spirit of Vatican II” and its diabolical culmination, namely Synodality. These people are probably staring blankly at their screens right now, wondering what I am on about. But for those who still have two brain cells dialoguing and …
On 19 November, Pope Leo XIV received the Jewish Democratic Governor of Illinois, J. B. Pritzker, in an audience. Afterwards, Pritzker wrote on X.com that he was honoured to meet "this son of Illinois", adding: "Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions." Pritzker is a pro-abortion politician. He signed the Reproductive Health Act into law in 2019, thereby repealing older restrictions and affirming the "fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about one's own reproductive health". In October 2023, he launched a national effort through his own non-profit organisation to support "abortion rights" outside Illinois. Furthermore, Pritzker has long advocated for homosexual privileges. In June 2025, he posted on X.com: "I’ve been marching for LGBTQ+ rights since Pride was considered a protest. And I’ll continue to march..." #newsZenzekzwpl

Don Maurizio Gronchi, a consultant to the Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, told AciPrensa.com on 18 November that the drafting of Tucho’s recent document Mater Populi Fidelis against the title Co-Redemptrix had a striking feature. Don Gronchi co-presented the document alongside Tucho and is an enemy of the title. The Dicastery's work has historically been 'collegial'. For each topic studied, the Dicastery draws on the input of internal consultants, external experts and other sources. However, in the case of this document on Marian titles, "no collaborating Mariologists could be found", according to Fr Gronchi. He pointed out that neither the faculty of the Marianum nor the Pontifical International Marian Academy participated in the presentation of the document. In his opinion, this can be interpreted as a “silence” that “can be understood as dissent”. Picture: Infovaticana, #newsEjbrmvmlnm
The low-budget film Sacré Coeur has become a box office success in France, drawing over 400,000 viewers since October 1. Focused on the 17th-century apparitions to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, it blends reenactments, testimonies, and expert input. MediaTransports — the advertising agency for SNCF and RATP — rejected a planned metro and train-station poster campaign, calling the project “religious and proselytizing.” An October 22 screening at the Château de La Buzine, a municipal cinema, was also canceled for allegedly violating France’s secularism rules. Still, lines grow weekly. Jesuits have objected that the film ignores their historical role in spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart.

Nuremberg trials - Wikipedia Hermann Göring - Wikipedia Hermann Wilhelm Göring was born on 12 January 1893[4] at the Marienbad Sanatorium in Rosenheim, Bavaria. His father, Heinrich Ernst Göring (31 October 1839 – 7 December 1913), a former cavalry officer, had been the first governor-general of German South West Africa (modern-day Namibia).[5] Heinrich had three children from a previous marriage. Göring was the fourth of five children by Heinrich's second wife, Franziska Tiefenbrunn (1859–15 July 1943), a Bavarian peasant. Göring's elder siblings were Karl, Olga, and Paula; his younger brother was Albert. At the time that Göring was born, his father was serving as consul general in Haiti,[6] and his mother had returned home briefly to give birth. She left the six-week-old baby with a friend in Bavaria and did not see the child again for three years, when she and Heinrich returned to Germany.[7] Göring's godfather was Hermann Epenstein, a wealthy Jewish physician and businessman …More
