Just like Pope Leo who served in Latin America, so did the Ven. Eusebio Kino do the same in Tucson & Mexico; could reach sainthood 2025 SAN XAVIER INDIAN RESERVATION, Ariz. -- PAUL CICALA REPORTS" The Tucson area may someday get a visit from Pope Francis if and when Father Eusebio Kino becomes a saint. Kino is already widely known as the 'Patron Saint of the Borderlands' for his efforts establishing 21 missions in what is now Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. The list includes Tucson's world-renown church, San Xavier Del Bac Mission. The San Xavier Del Bac Mission was established in 1692 by Father Kino and built by Tohono O'odham tribal members. According to officials, Kino is two steps away from Sainthood. "There's probably some mixed feelings among the (Tohono) O'odham," said Ned Norris, Chairman of the Tohono O'odham Nation. Norris says he is not surprised Father Eusebio Kino was recently declared a "venerable" by Pope Francis. The next steps are canonization, beatification and then sainthood …More

The Vatican's reasoning for the ban on lay preaching is "not entirely consistent," Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz told Katholisch.de on August 11. "The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Lay Preaching Is No Problem In the Diocese of Mainz, occasional lay preaching has become an established practice and Bishop Kohlgraf has no intention of changing that. In some parishes, "it is customary for laypeople to preach," he said. "If I hear about it, I won't take disciplinary action or impose canonical sanctions." "Denunciations" Are a Problem Bishop Kohlgraf is concerned that the directive from Rome could encourage "denunciations": "There are people who report liturgical violations straight to the bishop and write directly to me. That happened before too - individual people would complain to me - but …More
"The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. So the Prefect for Liturgy is careless to the point of being goofy. But what self-respecting Catholic, much less a bishop, can use this for an excuse?
Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz criticised the Vatican’s June 17 ruling upholding the ban on lay preaching at Mass as “not entirely coherent”. He noted that lay preaching has become common practice and said he would neither intervene nor impose canonical sanctions.
250 Years of American Biology This mini course will be taught by Jonathan Couey, PhD, a former academic neurobiologist and former research faculty at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Mr. Couey has published in Science, Nature Neuroscience, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Neuron. From 2022-2023, he served as a scientific advisor to Children's Health Defense and Skyhorse Publishing author and current HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy, Jr. This relationship culminated in the publishing of The Wuhan Cover Up (DO NOT BUY THE BOOK NEW. USE eBAY) Mr. Couey has since publicly accused CHD and Robert F Kennedy Jr. of fraudulently hiring him to discredit rather than be advised by him. His experiences during the pandemic with what he terms 'health freedumb' is a major impetus for this course. A New Biology 101 Biology 101 as it is currently taught is fundamentally incorrect, i.e. Bad Biology 101. 20 years ago, these faults could be seen more as reasonable expectations …More
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference attended the private funeral of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini in Pavana on Saturday. He delivered an address, published on Avvenire.it (August 8), in which he practically canonized the self-described agnostic. Guccini, 86, had described himself as an “agnostic possibilist.” Zuppi, who was his friend, recalled that the singer had once told him he wanted the cardinal present at his funeral. Addressing Guccini directly, Cardinal Zuppi imagined what the deceased might now be seeing: “We do not know precisely … what you see: the fullness of that light which, in reality, you had already sensed from here and which you were able to glimpse in the poignant and infinite beauty of life.” Cardinal Zuppi portrayed Guccini’s agnostic doubt positively, as an honest search for truth. “Doubt was your way of standing before things without cheating, with integrity,” he said. “You never stopped asking and listening.” …More

Chapter XXI ~ Diversity of the Pains — Blasio Raised from the Dead by St. Bernardine — Venerable Prances of Pampeluna and the Pen of Pire — St. Corpreus and King Malachy. The celebrated Blasio Massei, who was raised from the dead by St. Bernardine of Sienna, saw that there was great diversity in the pains of Purgatory. The account of this miracle is given at length in the Acta Sanctorum (Appendix, May 20). A short time after the canonisation of St. Bernardine of Sienna, there died at Cascia, in the kingdom of Naples, a child aged eleven years, named Blasio Massei. His parents had inspired him with the same devotion which they them- selves had towards this new saint, and the latter was not slow to recompense it. The day after his death, when the body was being carried to the grave, Blasio awoke as from a profound slumber, and said that St. Bemardine had restored him to life, in order to relate the wonders which the saint had shown him in the other world. We can easily understand the …More
"Blasio also spoke of Heaven, the last place into which he had been taken ; but he spoke almost like St. Paul, who, having been ravished to the third Heaven, whether with his body or without his body he knew not, there heard mysterious words which no mortal tongue could repeat. What most attracted the attention of the child was the immense multitude of angels that surrounded the throne of God, and the incomparable beauty of the blessed Virgin Mary, elevated above all the choirs of angels."
"In Hell, Blasio saw indescribable horrors, and the divers tortures by which the proud, the avaricious, the impure, and other sinners are tormented. Amongst them he recognised several whom he had seen during life, and he even witnessed the arrival of two who had just died, Buccerelli and Frascha. The latter was damned for having kept ill-gotten goods in his possession. The son of Frascha, struck by this revelation as by a thunderbolt, and knowing well the truth of the statement, hastened to make complete restitution ; and not content with this act of justice, that he might not expose himself to share one day the sad lot of his father, he distributed the rest of his fortune to the poor and embraced the monastic life."
British Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham is "a non-Catholic Catholic kind of guy", UK-based writer Steven Tucker argues on August 7 on CrisisMagazine.com. Burnham has absorbed a specifically left-wing, Liverpool strain of Catholic Social Teaching that is socialism in disguise. Main points: Archbishop Derek Worlock (1920–1996) of Liverpool had a significant influence on Burnham during his youth. As an altar boy, Burnham played tapes of Worlock's sermons in which he criticised the central government for neglecting the North West. Burnham considered the "vast majority" of staff at his Catholic schools to be Labour supporters who encouraged him in that direction. In 2012, Burnham said that "what I used to read in the catechism - the realisation of it on Earth - was the Labour Party'. He has campaigned, voted and marched for homosex "marriage", homosex adoption and gender policies. He has even supported male access to women's facilities. While mayor of Manchester, he took part in a city …More
The German women have a saying about the 3 Ks. Kinder, Kirche and Kucher (children, church and kitchen). If you take one of these away, a woman will destroy herself.
"If there is fear of an attack by enemies, or of a flood or of the collapse of the building where the Mass is being celebrated, the Mass is to be discontinued if it is before the Consecration; if this fear arises after the Consecration, however, the priest may omit everything else and go on at once to the reception of the Sacrament." (Pius V - De defectibus in celebratione Missarum occurrentibus, 32)

Pope Leo’s Heartbreak Over War-Torn Sudan and Ukraine Pope Leo made his Angelus address on August 9 to draw the world’s attention to the heartbreaking suffering caused by war in Sudan and Ukraine. Speaking with deep concern, the Pope highlighted Sudan’s worsening humanitarian crisis, where more than 500,000 people are reportedly cut off from basic supplies amid the brutal conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Armed Forces. Behind these numbers are families facing hunger, fear and uncertainty. Drone attacks, sexual violence and starvation have made an already devastating crisis even more painful for innocent civilians. The Pope also lamented the continuing bloodshed in Ukraine, where the war with Russia continues to claim lives and intensify suffering. As violence spreads and human lives are lost, Pope Leo renewed his urgent appeal for peace, protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian law. His message carries a simple truth: behind every statistic …More
