The Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, Spain, has distanced itself on August 5 from comments by one of its priests after he called for the "reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity" following the invasion into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a statement, the archdiocese said Rev. Javier Aizpún's remarks were "strictly personal opinions" that "neither represent nor are shared in any way by this diocesan Church." The controversy stemmed from a post on X.com in which Aizpún, parish priest of San Juan Evangelista in Huarte and a canon of Pamplona Cathedral, wrote: "May Our Lady of Africa, patron saint of Ceuta, inspire the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. May we finish what Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone." In subsequent posts, he also called for Spain to "bombard Rabat" and "open fire if necessary" in response to the mass crossing of invaders into Ceuta. Archbishop Florencio Roselló sought an explanation from Rev. Aizpún, describing the …Daha çox
This priest should really have known how offensive his remarks were. Apparently he was under the impression that he was a priest in the Catholic Church where Jesus Christ ordered His followers to “go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. No. He’s a Conciliarist! What is absolutely amazing, though, is that Conciliarists who call themselves Catholic, are so indoctrinated they believe the SSPX is schismatic.
Confusion? Distress??? Dear Lady we beg for the conversion of the invaders of Ceuta, and especially of their masters who are using this invasion to punish Spain, who dared to speak out against the genocide of Palestinians.
İspanya’nın Pamplona ve Tudela Başpiskoposluğu, 5 Ağustos’ta, İspanyol toprağı Ceuta’ya yapılan işgalin ardından “Fas’ın yeniden fethedilmesi ve Hristiyanlığa dönüştürülmesi” çağrısında bulunan rahiplerinden birinin açıklamalarından uzak durduğunu açıkladı. Başpiskoposluk yaptığı açıklamada, Rahip Javier Aizpún’un sözlerinin “tamamen kişisel görüşler” olduğunu ve “bu piskoposluk Kilisesi’ni hiçbir şekilde temsil etmediğini veya Kilise tarafından paylaşılmadığını” belirtti. Tartışma, Huarte’deki San Juan Evangelista Kilisesi’nin papazı ve Pamplona Katedrali’nin kanonlarından biri olan Aizpún’un X.com’da paylaştığı bir gönderiden kaynaklandı. Aizpún, gönderisinde şöyle yazmıştı: “Ceuta’nın koruyucu azizesi Afrika’nın Meryem Ana’sı, Fas’ın yeniden fethedilmesine ve Hristiyanlığa dönüştürülmesine ilham versin. Katolik Kraliçe Isabella’nın yarım bıraktığı işi biz tamamlayalım." Sonraki paylaşımlarında ise, işgalcilerin Ceuta’ya kitlesel geçişine yanıt olarak İspanya’nın “Rabat’ı bombalamasını …Daha çox
The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Daha çox
Oh, but but,... all the novus ordo clergy don't need Latin at all. What do they need Latin for? Plus, even the demons hate the sacred Latin of the Church—especially its prayers, Gregorian chant, and above all the solemn rite of exorcism.

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …Daha çox
Ceuta Immigrants Are "Saints": Spanish priest Fr Ángel García, founder of the charity Mensajeros de la Paz, described invaders in Ceuta as "saints" because they had remained calm in difficult circumstances. Speaking to laSexta television in Ceuta on August 3, the priest said that many people would have reacted violently in the same circumstances, but the invaders were peacefully waiting for an opportunity to enter the reception centre. His remarks contrast with reports of unrest, including incidents of looting, violence and the carrying of machetes.
In the Moroccan invasion of Ceuta, people with katanas, jihadists, and all kinds of criminals have entered, but for "Father Ángel," they are true "saints."

Sidney Başpiskoposu Anthony Fisher, Kent Caddesi’ndeki eski bir Katolik kilisesinde sahnelenen eşcinsel temalı bir gösterinin yapımcılarının, Katolik inancıyla kasten alay ettiklerini belirtti. Yüzlerce Katolik'in mekanın önünde toplanarak Rosary duası etmesinden bir hafta sonra, 28 Temmuz'da CatholicWeekly.com.au'da bir yazı kaleme alan Başpiskopos Fisher, gösterinin sadece sanatsal bir ifade olduğu yönündeki iddiaları reddetti. Gösteriler “tarafsız sanat ifadeleri” değil, “Katolik inancına özgü ve kutsal olan sembollerin ve ritüellerin kasıtlı olarak sahiplenilmesi, cinselleştirilmesi ve aşağılanması”ydı. Başpiskopos, bir domuzun McDonald’s patates kızartmasını “İsa’nın Bedeni” olarak sunduğunu gösteren tanıtım görsellerine, rahibe kılığına girmiş erkek sanatçılara ve “Sunday Mess” ile “Unholy Confessions” başlıklı etkinliklere atıfta bulundu. Prodüksiyonun Katolikleri alay etmek amacıyla yapılmadığı yönündeki iddiaları “ikna edici bulmadığını” belirtti. Fisher, “Katolikler için …Daha çox
The Society of Jesus is continuing a major reorganization of its presence in Catalonia as declining numbers of Jesuits and an aging membership force the closure of houses. Working-Class Communities Close, Elite Schools Remain The first recent closure came in Bellvitge, where the Jesuit community founded in 1968 ended its presence at the close of 2025. It was one of the Jesuits' flagship social apostolates in post-war Spain. The Jesuits also handed over responsibility for the parish of Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. The Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII school continues to operate within the Jesuit education network. The reorganization of Jesuit communities continued in El Clot, where the Jesuit residential community at the end of the academic year 2025-2026. The Society cited the same reasons: fewer active Jesuits, a lack of vocations, and the high average age of its members.

Seven years after his death, the Capuchin bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise still lacks a proper grave inscription in the Capuchin cemetery of San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy. Bishop Laise became internationally known for defending the practice of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. During debates within the Argentine Episcopal Conference in 1996 over the introduction of Communion in the hand, he chose not to implement the indult in his diocese, maintaining that receiving Communion on the tongue remained the universal norm of the Church. After retiring, he settled in San Giovanni Rotondo, where he spent his final years serving as a confessor. Although a marble slab was placed over his grave at the time of his burial in 2019, it still bears only the temporary paper funeral notice affixed on the day of his funeral. No permanent inscription has ever been added. The case has attracted renewed attention following an investigation by Italian journalist Simone Ortolani, as reported by Messa in Latino. …Daha çox
Muslims Lose Their Minds When 26 Different ARABIC Qurans Return to Speakers' Corner! Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries youtube.com/watch?v=9y7eWEjBBw4 4 lug 2017 #JaySmith#SpeakersCorner#HatunTash About a year ago, Jay Smith and Hatun Tash got up on their ladders at Speakers' Corner to show 26 different Arabic Qur'ans to the world. They didn't have the time then to go through the 26 Qur'ans, and so they decided to bring the Qurans back to Speakers' Corner for a similar talk, but this time to go through and show some of the differences. To date, Arabic scholars who are doing the research (not Jay nor Hatun, who are clear that they are not Arabic scholars) have found 45,377 differences within the 26 Qur'ans they are looking at. That number will continue to rise as they find hundreds, and perhaps thousands more. Jay and Hatun couldn't go through all the 45,377 differences they were aware of, so they only brought down about 70 examples, taken from an assortment of the …Daha çox
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher wrote. "It is the sacrament at the heart of our …Daha çox
Vefatından yedi yıl sonra, Kapuçin piskoposu Juan Rodolfo Laise’nin İtalya’nın San Giovanni Rotondo kentindeki Kapuçin mezarlığında hâlâ uygun bir mezar yazıtı bulunmamaktadır. Piskopos Laise, Kutsal Komünyon’u dil üzerinde alma geleneğini savunmasıyla uluslararası üne kavuşmuştu. 1996 yılında Arjantin Piskoposlar Konferansı’nda Komünyon’un el ile alınmasının getirilmesi konusunda yapılan tartışmalar sırasında, dil üzerinde Komünyon almanın Kilise’nin evrensel normu olmaya devam ettiğini savunarak, kendi piskoposluk bölgesinde bu istisnayı uygulamamayı tercih etmişti. Emekli olduktan sonra San Giovanni Rotondo’ya yerleşen piskopos, son yıllarını günah çıkarma rahibi olarak hizmet ederek geçirdi. 2019’daki cenaze töreninde mezarının üzerine bir mermer levha yerleştirilmiş olmasına rağmen, levha üzerinde hâlâ cenaze gününde yapıştırılan geçici kağıt cenaze ilanı bulunmaktadır. Üzerine hiçbir zaman kalıcı bir yazıt eklenmemiştir. Messa in Latino’nun haberine göre, İtalyan gazeteci Simone …Daha çox
