Vicious Attack: British abuse campainer Peter Saundners who belongs to the Pope’s nine-member comission for the protection of children has called Cardinal Pell’s Vatican position – quote – “untenable”. Pell has been unjustly accused of having covered up the case of former priester Gerald Ridsdale when Pell was an assistant priest in Ballarat, Australia.
No Evidence: Damian Thompson has criticized the – quote - hounding of Cardinal Pell. For him the attempt to implicate Pell in the Ballarat abuse scandal is orchestrated by Australia’s left-leaning journalists, who have hated Pell for years. Thompson recalls that Pell was among the first Catholic bishops in the world to tackle child sexual abuse while the media who accuse him now were promoting pederastry. Thompson askes whether there is any evidence that Pell was complicit in covering up child abuse. His answer is no. Quote: “But there is evidence that he is a social conservative and climate change …

Cardinal Wuerl calls Cardinal Burke a ‘dissenter’: pot calls the kettle black
February 18, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- On his official blog, Washington, D.C., Cardinal Donald Wuerl made a rather obvious reference to Cardinal Raymond Burke, calling him a “dissenter.” Referring to “an interview and an article by brother bishops who are less than enthusiastic about Pope Francis,” Cardinal Wuerl was unmistakably pointing to Cardinal Burke, whose interview with France2 days earlierwas making the rounds on the Internet.
While newsworthy, the interview with Cardinal Burke was rather mundane in that he merely said he would be willing to “resist” Pope Francis, if the pontiff were to attempt to change the Church's practice of denying Communion to those in “second marriages.” Pope Francis has never said he would change the current Church practice, even though powerful cardinals surrounding him have suggested the move.

Letter from a priest to Pope Francis
Reported by Luisa, whom I thank, I translate the following text from the French blog Benoit et moi , which presents him as a witness in addition to numerous other sites on Italian or Spanish-speaking and English-speaking sphere.
"Holy Father,
One day it is said to happen that you speak before thinking. This is what worries us priests who exercise our ministry in a context which is often difficult. This means that not only do we find it hard to understand but it is increasingly difficult to follow.
Ever since you were chosen to succeed the Apostle Peter, you have not ceased to deliver offensive speeches.
You Launched barbs against the faithful who love the liturgy of the Church with dignity, against your closest collaborators among the cardinals of the Curia, against simple priests, and more recently against the parents of large families. Perhaps you hoped to make people laugh by comparing them with the rabbits. Did not fire: you had some success …

Hosts in the Mud: Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, the president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, has defended the passing of hosts from hands to hands during the two Masses of Pope Francis in Manila. Meanwhile, the blog The Pinoy Catholic has confirmed that hosts fell into the mud or, because they were past from hands to hands, got wet and dirty.
Like the Nazis: Speaking to journalists aboard the January 19 flight from Manila to Rome Pope Francis criticized what he called ideological colonization when, for instance, loans are given to built schools for the poor on the condition that gender theory is taught. Francis commented: “This is not new.” And: “Think of the Balilla (Mussolini’s fascist youth organization), think of the Hitler Youth.

Catholic Priest tells mass he's gay and gets standing ovation.
Korey News on Jan 11, 2015 An Irish Catholic priest received a standing ovation from his congregation when he revealed he was gay and then declared his support for same-sex marriage from the pulpit, according to reports.
Father Martin Dolan, who has been a priest at the Church of St Nicholas of Myra in Francis Street, Dublin for 15 years, made the unexpected comments during mass.
The priest, who was unavailable for comment and is reported to be on holiday, urged his congregation to back same-sex marriage in the forthcoming Irish referendum.
Parishioners are understood to have applauded when Dolan announced “I’m gay myself” last Saturday.
Speaking to the Irish Sun, community youth worker Liz O’Connor said: “We are all very proud of Father Martin. Because he has admitted that he is gay he doesn’t change the person that he was before it.”
Gay equality groups in Ireland, including Marriage Equality Ireland and the Gay and Lesbian …

Final report on American women religious issued

Final report on American women religious issued
The "Final Report on the Apostolic Visitation of Institutes of Women Religious in the United States of America" has been issued by the Vatican's Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, and apparently American sisters and nuns are in perfect communion with the Catholic Church and her permanent Magisterium. Nothing to see here, folks.
There was no mention of social issues, no mention of habits, no mention of open dissonance, and, in fact, the tone of the report seemed to apologize to dissident women religious who obstructed during the process and refused to participate in the apostolic visitation. One would never know why the apostolic visitation was called for in the first place under Pope Benedict.
Contrast that to the Franciscans of the Immaculate under this papacy.

Brazilian bishop wants to ordain married community elders as priest shortage grows
By Benjamin Soloway
BELEM, Brazil – The largest Roman Catholic geographical district in Brazil, located deep in the Amazon along the Xingu River, has more than 800 Catholic congregations but only 27 priests.
Bishop Erwin Krautler, prelate of Xingu, has argued that the situation calls for drastic measures. In April, he took his case to the Vatican, where he met with Pope Francis. Recently, Krautler and Cardinal Claudio Hummes, a friend of Pope Francis, presented the idea of ordaining married community elders to Brazil’s National Conference of Bishops, which is now in the process of forming a commission to delve deeper into the matter.
Krautler said he counted himself among a group of bishops, mostly in the developing world, who see the ordination of such elders as a potential solution for the countless rural congregations that cannot receive the sacraments, including Communion, marriage, and baptism.

Killing is Killing: Meeting Saturday with the Association of Italian Catholic Doctors Pope Francis spoke about abortion: “So many times in my life as a priest I have heard objections: “Tell me, why the Church is opposed to abortion? Is it a religious problem?” No, no. It is not a religious problem. “Is it a philosophical problem?” No, it is not a philosophical problem. It’s a scientific problem, because there is a human life there, and it is not lawful to eliminate a human life to solve a problem. “But in modern thought…” Listen, in ancient and in modern thought, the word “kill” means the same thing.”
Double Standard: Boston Cardinal O'Malley has slammed Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn who was convicted for having reported six month late a priest who secretly took pictures of clothed children with the focus on their crotch.

Bugnini Man Appointed to Congregation of Divine Worship -- 4 More Ratzingerians Dismissed
(Vatican) Pope Francis continues to purge the liturgical sensibility of his predecessor, Benedict XVI.
On 5 November it was announced in the daily bulletin of the Holy See that Pope Francis had appointed a new Under-Secretary for the Congregation for Divine Worship. What was not there is that the two other undersecretaries were also dismissed. The Congregation has had no Cardinal Prefect since the beginning of October, after Pope Francis sent back the previous head of the dicastery, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares as archbishop of Valencia in Spain. Now the number two of the Congregation has been exchanged and thus within a month, the entire leadership.
Previous Undersecretaries Have Learned of their Ouster from the Bulletin
The previous Undersecretaries, the Marist Father Anthony Ward and Msgr. Juan Miguel Ferrer-Grenesche had learned from the publication of the bulletin that they were not re-elected.…

Collapse of Diocesan Clergy in France -- Glimmers of Hope
(Paris) numbers are neither traditionalist nor modernist, but facts are being noticed. In France, there are only 14,000 diocesan priests. About half of them are older than 75. This means that the situation is dramatic.
To conduct but one parish is already a big job. In France it has become "normal" that a pastor has to take care of a dozen parishes. A regular celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is impossible. In most parishes it is celebrated only occasionally. In the diocese of Langres, each priest must take care for an average of 50 parishes. In short, it is almost resigned to a spiritual catastrophe. The numbers of priestly ordinations is also discouraging. In 2009, only 89 diocesan priests were ordained in France. Far too little to compensate for the decrease due to death. These numbers seem like reports coming from the front with the losses to an army. You could cry.
Fortunately, there is good and encouraging news …

The Church and the world do urgently need intrepid and candid witnesses of the whole truth of the commandment and of the will of God, of the whole truth of Christ’s words on marriage. Modern clerical Pharisees and Scribes, those bishops and cardinals who throw grains of incense to the neo-pagan idols of gender ideology and concubinage, will not convince anyone to either believe in Christ or to be ready to offer their lives for Christ - said + Athanasius Schneider Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan in interview with Izabella Parowicz.

Salt and Light TV slams Cardinal Burke as being in an ‘Ivory Tower’
by Pete Baklinski
Lauding the Vatican’s Synod on the Family as “huge” change, a producer from Canada’s Catholic TV network Salt and Light, headed by CEO Fr. Thomas Rosica, has criticized outspoken champion of orthodoxy Cardinal Raymond Burke, suggesting that he is in an “ivory tower” and “sticking to the ideal” instead of ministering to people — such as homosexuals and the divorced — caught up in the “messiness of life.”

Pro-Life and Pro-Family Group: Synod Report a "betrayal". Faithful "morally obliged to oppose course
ROME, 13 October 2014: An international coalition of pro-family groups has rejected the mid-way report of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family, calling it “a betrayal”.
Voice of the Family responded to the report (relatio post disceptationem), published this morning and presented by Cardinal Péter Erdő (See “Synod on Family: Midterm report presented, 2015 Synod announced“, Vatican Radio, 13 October) The report has been welcomed ecstatically by liberal Catholic commentators.
John Smeaton, co-founder of Voice of the Family, said:
“Those who are controlling the Synod have betrayed Catholic parents worldwide. We believe that the Synod’s mid-way report is one of the worst official documents drafted in Church history.
“Thankfully the report is a preliminary report for discussion, rather than a definitive proposal. It is essential that the voices of those lay faithful who sincerely live out …

Card. O’Malley: Don’t Fire LGBT Employees
By: Margaret Galitzin
This year has seen a significant rise in Catholic Church employees who have been punished in some way for LGBT related employment disputes. Basically, this means they have been fired, resigned, refused to renew restrictive contracts or had job offers rescinded because it was discovered that they were homosexuals living in an open relationship with a “partner” of the same sex. Reported cases since 2008 total around 40; of these, 17 were reported this year.
I call this good news, because it reveals a reaction among the faithful who do not want to tolerate homosexuals, lesbians and transvestites in Catholic schools teaching their children or on parish boards since their lifestyle openly defies Catholic teaching.
