On August 15, InfoVaticana.com noted a pattern in Leo XIV’s 2026 liturgies: the Roman Canon has been absent from nearly all the year’s major solemnities. At the Assumption Mass, Eucharistic Prayer III was used instead, as it was at Easter, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, and Saints Peter and Paul. The Canon has not disappeared entirely: Leo XIV used it on Holy Thursday and at a Sacred Heart Mass in Tenerife on June 12. For more than fourteen centuries, the Roman Canon stood at the heart of the Roman rite, its roots reaching deep into the earliest centuries of Christian worship in Rome. #newsQwvjswksfd
The word attached to her name was supposed to be an ending. She turned it into a label recognized around the world. In 1805, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot was twenty-seven years old when her husband died suddenly. He left her three things: a young daughter, a wine business that was struggling badly, and a title that polite society treated as a kind of quiet retirement notice — veuve, the French word for widow. In Napoleonic France, everyone understood what came next for a woman in her position. Her world was expected to shrink. She was supposed to grieve, step back, and let a man take the company off her hands. She did the opposite. Barbe-Nicole went to her father-in-law, who owned the family firm founded back in 1772, and convinced him to let her run it herself. For a woman of her era, this was close to unthinkable. Women were expected to manage households, not negotiate with merchants, oversee production, or gamble a fortune on international trade. Friends warned her she was risking everything …More
Ceuta is under siege again tonight and Madrid still treats it like a PR problem. Either the military seals the perimeter with real force or this enclave is lost for good. No more “managing flows.” Defend Spanish soil or surrender it.
The Archdiocese of San Antonio has officially excommunicated and dismissed Father John Mary Foster, founder of the Mission of Divine Mercy, from the clerical state for schism. He rejected the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV, calling him a usurper, and published unapproved private revelations.
The Vatican (Cardinal Tucho Fernández) has removed from the priesthood a San Antonio priest for publicly referring to Francis and Leo XIV as "usurpers". Fr. John Mary Foster founded the Mission of Divine Mercy in 2001, a small Catholic community in the Texas Hill Country. He was incardinated into the Archdiocese of San Antonio in November 2009. In April 2026, a canonical tribunal found Foster guilty of schism, meaning refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff. The archdiocesan notice specifically describes this as “a crime against the faith.” The tribunal held that Foster had incurred latae sententiae excommunication and dismissed him from the clerical state. The sentence was publicly announced by Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, 69, of San Antonio on August 14, 2026. The trial The judicial process was authorized by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. The tribunal consisted of three judges, a notary, a promoter of justice, and an advocate for Foster. The three judges were …More

These father and son, Fr. Peter and Fr. Andrew Infanger, are both Catholic priests in the United States. After his wife’s death, Fr. Peter discerned a vocation to the priesthood and was ordained for the Diocese of Joliet, while his son, Fr. Andrew, serves as a priest in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
When someone truly wants to be part of your life, they don't just say it—they show it. They don't make promises—they take action. They don't make excuses—they create ways to be there. Sincere interest doesn't live on “someday,” or on prolonged silences, or on absences disguised with beautiful words. When there is genuine intention, time appears, effort follows, and priorities naturally fall into place. Whoever truly wants to be there will find a way. Even when they're afraid. Even when they're tired. Even when life feels heavy. They make the impossible possible, because when it comes to the heart, there are no shortcuts. Someone who only cares halfway will always have reasons not to be there. Too much work. Too many problems. Too little courage to commit. And it hurts to understand that, because sometimes we spend our time waiting for someone who never intended to stay. But it also sets you free. Because it teaches you that you should never have to beg for someone's presence or plead …More
Another “rave in the nave” took place in Anglican. Canterbury Cathedral yesterday evening, on the Feast of the Assumption. The “silent disco” of 80s music had two sessions running from 6.30pm to midnight. In 1170, St Thomas Becket was martyred in the cathedral.
Time to Join the Army Part2 of the Message: 2024-02-22 Reconquest – Time to Join My Army – A Call to Priests and Bishops Download / Print PDF [Received in Spanish] [God the Father] To My children scattered throughout the world – Your God speaks to you from the little holy Hill, Our new Tepeyac. The time has come, My children, to call you to join yourselves to My army – the army that I have formed and forged in silence, in what is hidden, with countless trials, sacrifices and sufferings. How many small battalions I have formed throughout the world, on each continent. As cisterns of pure water to give life to My hungry and abandoned children. Hungry for the Truth, hungry for Me – and abandoned by those who have become a stumbling block to Me: My priest sons, to whom I have given the mandate and mission to care for My sheep, to protect them and nourish them with My Sacred Food. But these shepherds have fallen asleep and have abandoned you, My children, the vast majority of them. I have …More
Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of 's-Hertogenbosch wrote on August 13 an open letter to Leo XIV. Main phrases. - Does the synodal process actually help bring souls closer to Christ and to eternal salvation? […] What has all this actually yielded? Not: how many meetings were organized? Not: how many reports were written? Not: how many people participated? But: has faith become stronger? Has Christ been proclaimed more clearly? - When one asks such questions, it is impossible to consider the Synod a success. - What once began as a 2021–2024 synod threatens to become a permanent form of governance. - The classical synod was a means. In contemporary synodal discourse, synodality threatens to become an end in itself. - The Church is not a conversation but a received reality. For the Church does not begin with our dialogue. It begins with Christ. - Christ did not set up a discussion group. He called apostles. He gave them authority. He sent them out to proclaim, baptize, and teach. - Truth is …More
Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport joins Chicago and Houston’s airports in setting up ‘wudu ablution’ stations for Muslim foot washing in restrooms.
There is a question that has been weighing heavily on my heart, and it is a difficult question to ask: “Are we becoming a Church without God?” Of course, I do not mean that God has abandoned His Church. Jesus Christ promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against her. Nor do I mean that there are not countless faithful Catholics, holy priests, religious, bishops, fathers and mothers who love God deeply and are striving every day to live the Catholic faith. I mean something different. I am asking whether we have gradually constructed a way of thinking about the Church – a way of governing her, speaking about her, worshipping within her, and determining her priorities – that increasingly functions as though the supernatural were no longer the central reality. Because Catholicism is supernatural or it is nothing. Think about the Catholic faith our ancestors knew. They believed in heaven. They believed in hell. They believed in angels and demons. They believed that Satan was real …More
There is no longer a Catholic Church. So, the answer to your question is "Te, we are a Church without God." Now if you look at Montini do you recall Pius XII threw him out of Rome into Milan? Why did Pacelli give Montini an archdiocese? Because he was saintly? No, it was because the Vatican worked (and still does) that way-- insult no one in the Cardinalate publicly, Keep everything in peritu. Had I been Pacelli I would have ended Montini's pathway to the Chair of Peter. Because he did not we got a Vatican 2 to work its will and way towards the end of the Catholic Church;s-- an end in the appearance of the latest Leo. The whole thing is disgusting.
Leo XIV’s Appointee Honored as “Masonic Brother” in 2022: On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Rome Professor Umberto Longo to the Vatican’s Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. In December 2022, Longo gave a lecture in Venice on the Italian Freemason and comic artist Hugo Pratt (1927–1995). At the end, Gian-Paolo Barbi, Sovereign Grand Commander of the masonic lodge 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite', took the floor. He tapped Longo on the shoulder and addressed him as 'il fratello professor Longo' - 'Brother Professor Longo'. The phrase is noteworthy because older Masonic publications from 2013 and 2014 also identify an “Umberto Longo” as a Masonic “Brother” and Scottish Rite officer.
«il fratello professor Longo»: Questa settimana Leone XIV ha nominato il professor Umberto Longo membro del Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche. Nel dicembre 2022, Longo tenne a Venezia una conferenza su Hugo Pratt. Al termine della relazione, Gian-Paolo Barbi, presentatosi come Sovrano Gran Commendatore del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato, ringraziò il relatore con queste parole: «questa intensa emozione che il fratello professor Longo ci ha voluto donare con questa bellissima disquisizione». L’espressione «il fratello professor Longo», pronunciata dal vertice del Rito Scozzese, è significativa.
One more mason for the large number of masons in the Vatican. Prevost gives them high positions, to them and to the sodomites. It's more than obvious who Prevost serves.
An informal lecture gave on August 14, 1965 (*) by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The Assumption was a beautiful favor God granted to His mother. It began when Our Lady, very suavely died. Her passing is customarily called Our Lady’s dormition because the grace with which she passed from this life and the short elapse before her resurrection, made her death seem more like a dream. After death, Our Lady resurrected, in imitation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. God then assumed her, body and soul, into Heaven, in the presence of the Apostles and many of the faithful. The Assumption was a true glorification of Our Lady before the eyes of men and will remain so until the end of the world. Nevertheless, it was a mere foreshadowing of the glory she received in Heaven. To benefit fully from this mystery, we will make a “composition of place,” according to the method of Saint Ignatius. Thus, we will imagine how the Assumption took place. In this, we are free to reconstruct the event as best conforms to …More
US Bishops are discussing the Mass in the Roman Rite among themselves and internally and [allegedly] want to be solicitous for the pastoral needs of those Catholics, Archbishop Paul Coakley, 71, of Oklahoma City told Raymond Arroyo. Archbishop Coakley is the president of the US bishops. He noticed "one of the dioceses in Texas has just this week relaxed some restrictions in order to make the Traditional Latin Mass more available, at least in that one diocese.” Arroyo asked what Catholics should do when diocesan Masses are increasingly restricted. “Well, it's a dilemma that many people who are attached to the Traditional Latin Mass are facing,” Coakley replied. He has encouraged Catholics to go to the local parish of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). Just outside Oklahoma City is the well-attended St. Michael’s Chapel in Bethany, served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The archbishop pretended to know little about it: “We still do have a chapel here that …More
The last word, Archbishop? Paul VI all but eliminated the Old Mass, JP II opens it up a crack, Benedict says it was never really done away with and gives it broad circulation, Francis jumps on it, and now we are supposed to be waiting for Leo? Zigzag, zigzag. We have friends in the Detroit area who now attend at sede-vacantist church -- that's what the popes have wrought. And I know, our friends are outside the Church...well, maybe not.
On November 1st 1950, Pope Pius XII declared ex-cathedra the Dogma of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, in the presence of over 600 Bishops and 700,000 faithful.
