The Catholic Church in the Central African Republic is mourning the loss of Father Crépin Martial Monga-Hadassi, 35, who was killed on June 29 while serving one of the country's most conflict-ridden regions. His funeral was celebrated on July 1 at Saint Peter Claver Cathedral in Bangassou. Just one day before his death, on June 28, Father Crépin baptized 175 people in one of his final pastoral acts. On the morning of June 29, he accompanied the newly baptized to the Mbomou River before returning to St. John the Baptist Parish in Zémio, where he served as vicar. Later that evening, at around 6:43 p.m., the priest was ambushed while returning to the parish rectory. The attack reportedly took place on the road between a Central African Armed Forces (FACA) checkpoint and the parish residence. He was fatally shot, while a female parishioner traveling with him was seriously wounded. The identity of the attackers remains unknown, and no group has claimed responsibility.

Why has the Vatican said so little about the persecution and murder of Christians in Africa? Why so much attention to the orchestrated “schism” with the SPPX? May Fr. Crepin through the mercy of God rest in peace.
The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on July 2 issued a decree excommunicating the six bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The decree also warns clergy and faithful not to adhere to the Fraternity's schism, stating that doing so incurs automatic excommunication. An accompanying explanatory note says that all attempts since Pope Paul VI to reconcile the movement founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre with the Catholic Church have failed. The recent episcopal consecrations against the will of Pope Leo XIV, it says, "constituted the offense of schism, with the resulting canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved." "The sacred ministers belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics." Lay faithful who formally adhere to the Fraternity are likewise to be considered schismatics and excommunicated. The FSSPX clergy administer "the sacraments illicitly": "The …Дукха

S.D. Wright Jul 1, 2026 The tradition of the Church is clear: Someone in Leo XIV's position cannot excommunicate the SSPX. After the Society of Saint Pius X’s episcopal consecrations on July 1, the Vatican is expected to issue a declaration of excommunication soon. These expectations were strengthened the day before, after Leo XIV’s June 29 letter to Father Davide Pagliarani, the SSPX’s superior general. The letter urged Pagliarani not to proceed with what it described as a “schismatic act” and stated that “to tear the seamless garment of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity.” Today’s episcopal consecrations may result in a different situation: In April, SSPX Bishop Bernard Fellay stated that Vatican sources had revealed the intention was to excommunicate the entire SSPX (i.e., all priests and official members), and even the lay faithful attending their chapels. However, it is impossible that the excommunications would be valid or binding. This article will explain how Catholic theology …Дукха
The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published today the procedure for the “reconciliation” with the Vatican of former clergy of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), together with a separate procedure for lay faithful. (Full Italian document below). The procedure, effective July 1, 2026, provides that a priest who has decided to leave the FSSPX must be willing to accept the Second Vatican Council and the “legitimacy of the Novus Ordo Missae,” while remaining attached to the usus antiquior (traditional Roman rite). The priest must: - Find an Ordinary (a diocesan bishop, a major superior of a clerical pontifical institute of consecrated life, a clerical pontifical society of apostolic life, etc.) who is willing to receive him ad experimentum. - Write, in his own hand, a letter to the Holy Father introducing himself and requesting the remission of the censures incurred either because he received priestly ordination from an excommunicated or otherwise canonically irregular …Дукха

On June 30, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Marco Mellino as Secretary of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts. Until now, Mellino was the deputy secretary of the same Dicastery. He was one of the principal canon-law officials of Francis' Curial reform. Born in 1966 in Canale (Piedmont), Mellino was ordained a priest in 1991 and earned his licentiate (1999) and doctorate (2000) in canon law at the Pontifical Lateran University. Defending Amoris Laetitia In January 2018, Mellino defended the controversial Chapter VIII of Amoris laetitia about giving Communion to adulterers in an article entitled 'La comunione ad alcuni fedeli in situazione irregolare' (Communion for some members of the faithful in an irregular situation). Mellino belongs to the same canon-law milieu as Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the principal Vatican defender of Amoris laetitia. In October 2018, Francis appointed Mellino as Bishop and Secretary of the Council of Cardinals (the "C9"). Creating a "Synodal Church" Monsignor …Дукха

Peter and John went into the part of the room near the hearth, to get the chalice which they had brought from Seraphia’s house, and which was still wrapped up in its covering. They carried it between them as if they had been carrying a tabernacle, and placed it on the table before Jesus. An oval plate stood there, with three fine white azymous loaves, placed on a piece of linen, by the side of the half loaf …Дукха
"Jesus was seated between Peter and John, the doors were closed, and everything was done in the most mysterious and imposing manner. When the chalice was taken out of its covering, Jesus prayed, and spoke to his Apostles with the utmost solemnity. I saw him giving them an explanation of the Supper, and of the entire ceremony, and I was forcibly reminded of a priest teaching others to say Mass."
Cardinal Pietro Parolin told journalists in Rome today that he does not know when or how the excommunications of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) will take place. “Despite this serious wound I hope that we can find ways to resolve this problem.” He also said that he was "deeply pained" by today's episcopal ordinations: "It is a schismatic act."

Bishop Terry R. LaValley of Ogdensburg, New York State, has issued a pastoral letter declaring that the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) is . following the unauthorized ordination of four bishops - in "formal schism" with the Church. In a letter dated July 1, Bishop LaValley instructed Catholics in the Diocese of Ogdensburg not to participate in FSSPX liturgies or receive sacraments from FSSPX clergy. He directed Catholics to avoid activities at St. Therese Chapel in Nicholville, New York, as well as any schools operated by the FSSPX. Instead, Catholics seeking the Mass in the Roman rite should attend liturgies celebrated in "full communion" with the Church at St. Mary's Church in Potsdam or St. Mary's Church in Evans Mills. The letter also extends an invitation to FSSPX priests who may not wish to participate in what the bishop described as a break with the See of Peter, stating that the Diocese would assist those seeking to remain within the Catholic Church. #newsVhnkjwpivc …Дукха
There is a schism between the SSPX and the Synodal Church. This is not news, the whole purpose of the SSPX was to preserve the faith from which the Synodal Church (formally the "Conciliar Church") was moving away from, trying to suffocate. The question is not if there is a schism, but which side is continuing the faith of the Apostles. (Spoiler Alert: It isn't the side saying all religions are ordained by God.)

No response has yet come from the Society, and it appears that they were not informed of the Decree and Note prior to learning about the texts from members of the press.
Canon law is an evolving aspect of Church life. New situations not envisaged at the time of definition are not always well served by it. Unlike Catholic dogmatic teachings and the natural law, it needs to be refined to cater for the emerging situations. Here we have a zealous adherence to the changeable on the one hand but the tyrannical imposition of the rejection of the unchangeable. A rigid legalistic imposition to serve the flux of dissolution.
02.07.2026 NEW SSPX BISHOPS VOW OBEDIENCE TO POPE LEO ON SACRED TRADITION AND NOT VATICAN COUNCIL II, IRRATIONAL The new SSPX bishops vowed to be obedient to Pope Leo when he follows Tradition. They will not be obedient to him when he interprets Vatican Council II irrationally and so schismatically. Pope Leo interprets the Nicene Creed with the LG 16 visible false premise, which is heresy and produces schism. There is a rupture with the centuries old interpretation of the Creeds. Over the centuries being saved with the baptism of desire and in invincible ignorance referred to invisible cases. This changes the understanding of the Nicene, Athanasius and Apostles Creed. The Catechism of the Council of Trent mentions ‘the desire thereof’ but does not state that it is visible or invisible. Common sense tells us it is invisible. Similarly when it is mentioned in Vatican Council II, LG 14 and LG 16 are not referred to as being visible or invisible. But Pope Leo interprets them as being …Дукха
