Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke celebrated a Pontifical High Mass according to the traditional Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady (Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk) on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam on September 5. Hundreds of Catholics attended and then processed through the Dutch capital to pray the Rosary publicly in Vondelpark. Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht and Bishop Jan Hendriks of Haarlem-Amsterdam were also present. Floris van Rijn, 23, told Nd.nl that he had never previously experienced the traditional liturgy, “It took some getting used to, but it was beautiful,” he said. Van Rijn described Cardinal Burke’s presence and the opportunity to attend the Mass as “a unique chance.” In Vondelpark, hundreds gathered around the statue of the Blessed Virgin carried in the procession. Priests wearing purple stoles heard confessions outdoors while the Rosary was recited in multiple languages. The prayers could be heard in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Polish, Slovak, Latin …Mususu

The bikers then rode in procession through Castel Gandolfo to join Leo XIV for the Angelus.

Pope Leo XIV is willing to speak with Trump - but Trump has to make the call. In a July 3 interview with Piers Morgan, Louis Prevost, the pope’s older brother and an outspoken Trump supporter, said he had asked Leo XIV whether he’d speak to President Trump. Leo XIV replied: “Sure, if you want, but he has to call me.” Prevost explained: “That’s a Vatican rule. You have to request from the Pope. The Pope doesn’t go.”

Italy’s Association of Catholic Moral Theologians (ATISM) wants to move beyond “rigid ideological dichotomies” on abortion, gender and assisted suicide. In an August 25 interview with Avvenire, the Italian bishops’ daily, ATISM president Fr. Martin Lintner and vice-president Gaia De Vecchi call for less divisive rhetoric and greater weight for lived experience, individual circumstances and conscience.

Kanada obhajuje svoju politiku, ktorá umožňuje umiestňovať transvestitov do ženských väzníc. V žalobe sa uvádza 10 údajných prípadov sexuálneho napadnutia a tvrdí sa, že došlo k porušeniu práv ženských väzenkýň. Ottawa pripúšťa, že k týmto napadnutiam došlo, avšak „kategoricky popiera“, že by táto politika bola príčinou tejto ujmy. Tvrdí, že posudzovanie rizika v jednotlivých prípadoch je dostatočné, a označuje túto politiku za „zmierňujúce“ opatrenie pre znevýhodnenú skupinu.
O Canadá defende a sua política que permite que os travestis sejam alojados em prisões femininas. Uma ação judicial cita 10 alegadas agressões sexuais e afirma que os direitos das reclusas foram violados. Ottawa reconhece as agressões, mas «nega categoricamente» que a política tenha causado os danos. Afirma que as avaliações de risco caso a caso são suficientes e considera a política uma medida «melhorativa» para um grupo desfavorecido.

Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 79, a former Apostolic Nuncio and the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, administered Confirmation to two young Irish Travellers in the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje, reports David Murgia on IlSegnoDiGiona. According to pictures, the women wore inappropriate short white pyjamas. Murgia says the outfits reflect festive dress customary in the Irish Traveller community. He claims to have verified the circumstances through multiple sources and that the photographs are authentic.

Rosary Rally in Amsterdam yesterday. Cardinal Burke was the celebrant during the Pontifical High Mass (TLM). Cardinal Eijk and Mgr. Punt were also present.
Today, Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Georg Gänswein, 70, in an audience, amid renewed speculation that Benedict XVI’s longtime secretary could soon be appointed Apostolic Nuncio to France. It was Gänswein’s third meeting with Leo XIV: the first came during the Pope’s gathering with apostolic nuncios in June 2025, followed by a private audience on December 12, 2025. Monsignor Gänswein serves as Apostolic Nuncio to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Pope Francis appointed him to the diplomatic post in June 2024, ending roughly a year in Freiburg without an official assignment following the death of Benedict XVI. In recent months, Vatican observers have speculated that Gänswein could be transferred to the Apostolic Nunciature in Paris. Asked about the possibility at a public appearance in Ravensburg in July, Gänswein declined to confirm the speculation. #newsYgnllwgzqu
The Anglican St. Paul’s Cathedral in London has entered a four-year partnership with Fabric, one of the city’s best-known nightclubs. Fabric will stage contemporary music events inside the cathedral through 2030. The first concert is scheduled for October 29. The artist has not yet been announced. St. Paul’s says the program aims to attract new visitors and introduce them to the cathedral through music and culture. The partnership follows earlier performances by RY X and Patti Smith.

Today, Leo XIV joked with children at the Vatican’s annual Family Day for employees and their families. “How much is six-seven?” he asked, while making the hand gesture from the viral “6-7” meme. He then answered 13 - turning the deliberately meaningless meme into 6+7. Teenagers followed with another slang: “Papa, can you say ‘aura’?” Leo looked puzzled and repeated: “Aura?” - prompting more laughter. Online, “aura” refers to someone’s coolness, charisma or presence. Young people jokingly give or take away “aura points” depending on what someone does.

Priests must continue to celebrate the traditional Mass ‘under the radar’ and, when necessary, openly defy the attempted prohibition of it, philosopher Peter Kwasniewski told Certamen.info. He underlined that lay Catholics who attend an FSSPX Mass because of their attachment to the old rite are “by no means schismatics.” But he simultaneously distances himself from a more strongly pro-FSSPX position: “If another opportunity of assisting at the old rite is already available in the same geographical area, it becomes harder to justify attending an SSPX chapel.” He points to the FSSPX’s “manifest canonical irregularity.”
Kwasniewski zu Certamen: Traditionis Custodes ist gescheiterte Gesetzgebung Rom hat sechs Bischöfe der Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. für exkommuniziert erklärt, und Kardinal Roche, der Präfekt für den Gottesdienst, hat jede Änderung an Traditionis Custodes öffentlich ausgeschlossen. Kwasniewski hält das Motu proprio für juristisch wie theologisch unstimmig. Kwasniewski: Rückkehr zum Frieden von Summorum … #katholisch#Kirche
Yet, he conveniently overlooks the Conciliar religion's "manifest authentic-Catholicism irregularities." If questioned, of course, Kwasniewski would disagree with a significant amount of the current Conciliar practices being winked at or promoted by the Conciliar popes, bishops and priests. I suspect that he wants to try to keep one foot in each camp so he can project himself as being a "Catholic" for all readers. "But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth."
