The rejection of God is gripping much of the West, especially Europe, Cardinal Sarah said in a lecture at the Catholic University of America (CUA) on 14 June.
He called this "practical atheism", which has also entered the Church, when Catholic morality, Catholic doctrine and Catholic liturgy are rejected.
The cardinal also sees practical atheism when "sociology" or "lived experience" becomes the principle for forming moral [and immoral] judgements. In this way, God is pushed aside. He criticises that we often hear from bishops and bishops' conferences "that we have to adapt our moral theology to purely human considerations".
Rejecting Catholic morality makes everything conditional and subjective, Sarah explains: "Welcoming everyone [except Catholics] means ignoring Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium. "
Advocates of this ideology within the Church treat Revelation as "secondary". This shows how practical atheism works: "It does not deny God, but it operates as if God is not central." …More

Public activist, entrepreneur, and former NABU [National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine] agent Yevhen Shevchenko spoke in an interview with NV Radio on June 11 about moles in the agency, leaked investigations, and massive corruption schemes leading to senior officials.
(....)corruption schemes worth billions are impossible, unfortunately [without approval at the top level]. Just like under [former presidents – Leonid] Kuchma, under [Viktor] Yushchenko, under [Viktor] Yanukovych, under [Petro] Poroshenko, and yes, unfortunately, under [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy.
Indeed, in my 41 years, I remember all these stages, better or worse, but systemic corruption has been in Ukraine since the 1990s, unfortunately. And the largest schemes were possible only and exclusively with the participation of the current government and its most senior representatives.
Therefore, the investigation wasn’t aimed at arresting local Dnipropetrovsk Oblast officials. The detectives wanted and aimed to arrest top …More

In the silence of the city, a sleepy song is heard
A voiceless hymn announces death
The executioner is sharpening his sword
The truth hurts them but it won’t save me
They all shout: Kill him!
To me it’s just a whisper
Suddenly the soul speaks up
..If I lie then tell me where… The answer falls on the pavement Head smashed everywhere only blood Why do you hit me? Like a viper you wrap me with lies! After all, I can’t say that: Modernist venom is real bread! I look around with hope I look for a priest dressed in black Let someone give me a hand In empty eyes You can see my verdict They sing a song of mercy Burnt hands clap in rhythm The last look at the cross Lord, your will be done! I kneel ……. I lay my head …. In the distance you can hear a joyful song … this is love …. kill him ! The fallen nodded his hand And the executioner ended my life He turned to the purple crowd Fools think I’m not there! Arkadiusz Niewolski

Presiding at a Eucharist "currently" requires a priest, the new Bishop of Osnabrück, Monsignor Dominicus Meier OSB, appointed on 28 May, told Aussicht.online (11 June).
Meier added that other forms of proclaiming the Word of God could be led by committed people. He suggests "trying new things" [for the empty churches in Germany].
Commenting on the current situation between the Vatican and German dioceses, Monsignor Meier said that "we need to talk a lot more" to break down barriers.
"When you talk about content, you notice that things are moving a bit. For example, with the [pseudo] blessing of homosexuals".

Cardinal Raymond Burke has rejected the idea of so-called "non-liturgical" blessings as claimed in Francis' homosexual manifesto 'Fiducia supplicans'.
Speaking to Father Ambrose Criste O.Praem. of St Michael's Abbey in Orange County, California, on 13 June, the Cardinal explained that blessings are linked to the sacraments. When a priest gives a blessing, it is intimately connected to the sacred liturgy: "It certainly cannot be said to be non-liturgical."
Furthermore, when someone brings an object to be blessed, it must be fit to receive a blessing and cannot be something that is alien to life in Christ.
"Otherwise we offend the Lord. We show a profound lack of respect and love for our Lord if we try in any way to ask a blessing for something that is sinful".

During a press conference on a recent Vatican paper proposing the abolition of the papal primacy, Cardinal Kurt Koch was asked why Francis had reinstated the title of "Patriarch of the West".
A visibly embarrassed Koch replied sarcastically: "We need some imagination to comment on that."
Regarding Francis' homosexual propaganda manifesto 'Fiducia supplicans', Cardinal Koch admitted that it had caused problems "not only in ecumenism, but also in the Catholic Church". He noted that "it is a big thing when a continent goes against a decision of the Holy Father".
At the same press conference, Cardinal Grech spoke openly of a "revision of the papacy" and said that his ex-synod was the most appropriate framework for this.
His point of reference was a quote from Francis in 2015 that presents an inadequate conception of the papacy.
Francis said at the time that a pope stands in the Church as "a baptised man among the baptised, and in the College of Bishops as a bishop among bishops, called at …More
