"Conservative" Bishop Stefan Oster of Passau is preparing his audience for the 'Synodal Conference', which will hold its inaugural meeting in November. On Bistum-Passau.de on 3 February, Monsignor Oster said that the new body still requires approval from the German Bishops’ Conference and the Vatican, but he believes that "this new body at the national level will come into being". He added that with it, synodality should be placed on a lasting footing. Bishop Oster described the six-year journey of the German Synod as enriching and meaningful. At the last Synodal Assembly in Stuttgart last weekend, he said, they had tried to "establish a connection with the Roman Synod on Synodality". Following the Roman model, he praised that they had used the method of "conversation in the Holy Spirit". This new permanent national synodal body should regularly monitor the bishops' implementation of the Synodal Way, a move that even Cardinal Marx opposed. "I caution against pursuing this path. It is …More
Ideas politics TIME DC Report: Inside the Very Online Campaign of RFK Jr. 1 second of 19 minutes, 58 secondsVolume 0% “God talks to human beings through many vectors,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tweeted on April 19th, 2023, the day he announced his primary challenge to Joe Biden. “But nowhere with such detail, and grace and joy, as through creation. When we destroy nature, we diminish our capacity to sense the divine.” The pious opening signals how carefully Kennedy has navigated his journey to the national stage. Because it’s not the name recognition, or his reputation as an avenging environmental lawyer that puts him in the game. It’s not that he helped found the Waterkeeper Alliance (a global network that lobbies to protect water sources) or built a solid record in defending Indigenous peoples from industrial land-grabs and pollution. It’s not his muscular Catholicism. One important reason Kennedy is polling at around 15% in the nascent race is because he leads a juggernaut of …

Every third death was related to previous therapies. What has remained a utopia in technology is becoming reality in medicine: the perpetual motion machine. Treatments generate a multitude of secondary illnesses from every disease, which feed the behemoth. “Fatigue centers” are now being established as hubs, and these will soon be as indispensable to medicine as pain centers.

I have already presented this business model of conventional medicine several times in my articles. For those interested, I recommend the article A Brief History of Medicine.

It’s best to stop with the pious pretenses. What has happened with the Society of Saint Pius X is not an accident, nor a sudden outburst, nor a “flight forward”. It is the logical outcome of a perfectly recognizable Roman strategy: buy time, stretch out conversations, postpone decisions, and trust that biology would do the dirty work. Four bishops consecrated by Lefebvre, increasingly elderly. A simple calculation: wait for them to die and, once the dog is dead, the rabies is gone. For thirty years, negotiations have taken place without actually negotiating. Meetings, letters, commissions, amiable gestures, ambiguous statements, prolonged silences. A lot of movement, no structural progress. No stable canonical solution. No solid sacramental guarantee. No legal framework that couldn’t be reversed by the next bureaucrat with delegated signature. Everything provisional, everything conditional, everything reversible. The house specialty. Rome didn’t want to resolve the “FSSPX problem”…

Defense lawyers in the Vatican’s “trial of the century” argued Tuesday that Pope Francis inadvertently violated the fundamental rights of their clients by issuing four secret decrees that gave prosecutors “surreal carte blanche” to investigate in ways reminiscent of a “fascist” state where laws aren’t published. The tone of argument in the frescoed Vatican tribunal was so charged Tuesday, as the appeals trial resumed after a three-month break, that at one point the tribunal president asked defense lawyers to refrain from citing Francis by name. RELATED:Peter’s Pence Class Action Lawsuit The request by Archbishop Alejandro Arellano Cedillo underscored how Francis’ problematic role in the big financial trial poses something of an existential dilemma for the Holy See. On the one hand, popes can only be judged by God. On the other, Francis stands accused of issuing decrees that violated the God-given rights of the defendants.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed today Monsignor Stanislav Přibyl, 54, as Archbishop of Prague, Czech Republic. Born in Prague in 1971, he was ordained as a Redemptorist priest in 1996. Monsignor Přibyl has served as Secretary General of the Czech Bishops' Conference from 2016 to 2023, and has been the Bishop of Litoměřice since 2023. In April 2025, he became Vice President of the Czech Bishops’ Conference. There are no public scandals or heresies surrounding Monsignor Přibyl. In January 2026, he was one of the co-consecrators of the anti-Catholic Archbishop Grünwidl of Vienna. Institutionally Loyal Man of the Apparatus As Secretary-General, he organised strict measures during the Covid hysteria. He readily complied with the state's restrictions on public worship, emphasising alternative online access, and avoided confrontation with the authorities. In January 2021, anti-restriction protesters in Prague wore yellow stars marked 'unvaccinated', sparking outrage. Monsignor Přibyl signed a …More
TARCISIO of CERVINARA interviews PADRE PIO From The Voice of Padre Pio Vol XXII Summer 1992 The priest lends his voice, his hands but above all his heart to Christ, the Supreme Priest. Making the sacrificial dispositions of the Lord his own, longing to climb on the Cross and to die in torment, the priest becomes at the altar a visible and expressive sign of the Passion of Christ, while for him Jesus makes present sacramentally the Sacrifice of Calvary. Padre Pio, carrying continuously in his body the sufferings of the dying Jesus, lived in his flesh a life that was a visible sign of the life he lives in the faith. It was no longer he who lived, but the Lord who lived in him so fully as to be actually nailed physically with Christ on the Cross ... The life of the Crucified of Gargano could not be lived if not in a complete, total and absolute state of victim. Q: "Padre, when do you suffer?" Padre Pio: "Always, my son" Q: "Padre, have you always suffered?" Padre Pio: "From my mother's womb!" …More
This is the text of two letters written by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988, just prior to the illicit consecrations. They show what was on his mind that that time - the salvation of souls and the good of the Church. Archbishop Lefebvre to his bishops-elect
GOD'S WILL BE DONE. --- Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was a saintly man. The hierarchy of the SSPX would have been more prescient if they had followed His Excellency Archbishop Lefebvre as he left them with the full understanding of the exact state of Rome regarding its disastrous state of apostasy. However, they did not do so when they sidestepped to involve the SSPX in a compromised position by their 2012 Declarational Agreement with Rome. --- GOD'S WILL BE DONE.
A new national survey is dealing a significant blow to the Democratic Party’s messaging on immigration while reinforcing President Donald Trump’s long-held position on border enforcement and deportations. The poll, released by Cygnal, finds broad public support for enforcing immigration law, deporting those in the country illegally, and allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out its mission. The results directly undercut years of media and Democrat claims that deportation is politically toxic or extreme. According to the survey, 73 percent of voters say entering the United States without legal permission is breaking the law. By nearly a two-to-one margin, 61 percent to 34 percent, voters support deporting individuals who are in the country illegally. A majority, 54 percent, want ICE actively enforcing federal immigration law, while 58 percent oppose defunding the agency. Those numbers cut across party lines. Independents and swing voters side far closer to Republicans …
Reading by Tim Foley: Any time things heat up with an empire-targeted government I always get people demanding to know why I’m not critical of that government. “Why don’t you criticize Iran? You spend all your time criticizing the west and Israel; you’re a hypocrite if you don’t criticize Iran.” It flabbergasts them that I’m not saying harsh things about the latest Official Bad Guy of the Day. Everyone on TV is criticizing Iran. Both mainstream political parties are criticizing Iran. Their favorite mainstream political podcasters and online pundits are criticizing Iran. So why isn’t Caitlin Johnstone criticizing Iran? There must be something nefarious and treasonous about her. kev joon@never_oppressed This will be a catastrophic war in which countless innocent Iranians will perish. I am sick to my stomach thinking about friends and loved ones who’ll have to endure this madness. Drop Site @DropSiteNews EXCLUSIVE from @DropSiteNews: U.S. Military Tells Key Middle East Ally to …
"The next months force the Vatican II machine to show its hand again, in public, with the same familiar pattern: thunder at Tradition, soft voices for schism, smiles for the regime in China, gentle language for Eastern separation, and a permanent allergy to precision whenever Rome’s new ecumenical theology starts contradicting itself. The SSPX has effectively said: Rome will not provide what the crisis demands, so we must. Will Leo XIV try to punish that act of survival while continuing to tolerate, validate, and even canonically absorb acts that would have been treated as genuine schism in any sane Catholic century?"
If the Vatican was smart, they would allow something similar to China, where the created Bishops are rubber stamped by the Pope. That being said, the objective of the Vatican is to have an All Inclusive religion that accepts "diversity" of all sorts world wide under one great umbrella. So the question that should be pondered is, How long will the SSPX go until they completely pull the plug - like the guys on that Isle in Scotland, like the Tigrayan "Independent" Orthodox Church
