A priest close to Pope Francis and Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández has left his Vatican post and returned to Argentina to serve as a parish priest. Daniel Pellizzon, a Buenos Aires priest and former personal secretary to Pope Francis since July 2023, has taken up a pastoral role at San Cayetano de Belgrano parish. His return, announced in late 2025 and publicized in early February, comes amid Pope Leo XIV’s gradual reshaping of the papal household.
Monsignor Pellizzon has returned to Argentina. Unfamiliar with the name? The former papal secretary has been one of the more influential figures over many years given his close links to the late Pope Francis and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández.
“I think that, if the excommunication (SSPX) would be applied, it would be in some way not valid because there is no intention to do a schismatic act on the side of the Society of Pius X, and you cannot be punished when you have not the intention to do it, according to the canon law,” Schneider said.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, the Holy See’s former Apostolic Visitor to the Society of Saint Pius X, has opined that any excommunication which the Society may be handed following the upcoming episcopal consecrations would be invalid.
Bulle des hl. Papstes Pius V. zur Einführung des Röm. Messbuches Bischof Pius, Diener der Diener Gottes zum ewigen Gedächtnis Seit Unserer Berufung zum höchsten Apostolischen Amt richten wir gern Unseren Sinn, Unsere Kräfte und alle Unsere Überlegungen auf die Reinerhaltung des Kirchlichen Kultes und bemühen Uns, das dazu Nötige in die Wege zu leiten und mit Gottes Beistand mit allem Eifer wirksam zu machen. Nun hatten Wir gemäß den Beschlüssen des Heiligen Konzils von Trient über die Herausgabe und dio Verbesserung der Heiligen Bücher, nämlich des Katechismus, des Missales und des Breviers zu verfügen. Nachdem mit Gottes Zustimmung der Katechismus zur Belehrung des Volkes herausgegeben und das Brevier zum schuldigen Gotteslob verbessert worden war, mußten Wir Uns, damit dem Brevier das Missale gebührend entspreche (da es sich gar sehr geziemt, daß in der Kirche Gott auf einheitliche Art gelobt und die Messe auf einheitliche Art gefeiert werde), der noch verbliebenen Aufgabe zuwenden …Mehr
It’s troubling that Catholic parishes are compelled to keep beautiful Masses out of public view due to directives from Cardinal Roche, while churches in Germany can openly promote what many see as liberal Protestant-style services.
TLM take note! The directive was that TLM could not be advertised. This shows how to not advertise and still provide information for the suppressed activity.
Some Catholics left the Church when Vatican II started using altar girls. It was a shock even to Catholics that remained in the pews. Leo wants to insult more conservative Catholics without appearing to insult.

Das Schreiben “Querida Amazonia“ wurde am 12.02.2020 nachmittags als !!!päpstliches Lehrschreiben!!! durch den Vatikan veröffentlicht. In diesem päpstlichen Lehrschreiben veröffentlichte Herr BERGOGLIO seine !!!Visionen!!!, wie er selbst schreibt. ... 6. Alles, was die Kirche anzubieten hat, muss an jedem Ort der Welt auf eigene Art Fleisch und Blut annehmen, in einer Weise, dass die Braut Christi vielfältige Gesichter erhält, die den unerschöpflichen Reichtum der Gnade besser ausdrücken. Die Verkündigung muss Fleisch und Blut annehmen, die Strukturen der Kirche müssen Fleisch und Blut annehmen. Das ist der Grund, warum ich mir in diesem kurzen Apostolischen Schreiben bescheiden erlaube, vier große Visionen vorzustellen, zu denen Amazonien mich inspiriert. ... Eine kulturelle Vision 28. Es geht darum, Amazonien zu fördern; dies bedeutet jedoch nicht, es kulturell zu kolonisieren, sondern ihm dabei zu helfen, das Beste aus sich zu machen.

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Gabriele Giordano Caccia, 68, as the new Nuncio to the United States. He succeeds Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who has been Nuncio in Washington, D.C. since 2016 and turned 80 in January. Hard to Be Worse Than Cardinal Pierre Cardinal Pierre, who was born in Rennes in 1946, played a key role in appointing US bishops loyal to Pope Francis. He was also involved in the process that led to the removal of Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, in November 2023, and reportedly directed bishops to abolish Masses in the Roman rite. Casaroli-Style Diplomatic School ("Ostpolitik") Archbishop Caccia has served as the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations in New York City since 2019. Born in Milan in 1958, he was ordained a priest in June 1983 by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Milan at the time. Cardinal Martini was one of the most influential anti-Catholic figures in the post-conciliar Church. Monsignor Caccia joined the Vatican diplomatic …Mehr
