Marriage of vile synod-loving Francis bishop who wrote fake obituary for Archbishop Gänswein
Marriage of vile synod-loving Francis bishop who wrote fake obituary for Archbishop Gänswein
He served as bishop in Peru until his resignation in 2024. Reinhold Nann, originally from the Archdiocese of Freiburg, has now married – without yet having been released from the clergy. The 65-year-old explains how this step came about.
Reinhold Nann, the former bishop of Caravelí in Peru of German descent, has married. As Nann (65) told the Catholic News Agency (KNA) on Friday, he has "recently" become civilly married and lives with his wife in Peru.
Nann, originally from Breisach am Rhein, was bishop of the territorial prelature of Caravelí in southern Peru from 2017 to 2024. A territorial prelature is a particular church within the Catholic Church equivalent to a diocese. Nann has been working permanently in the South American country since 2002.
He explained to the KNA that for a short time, he enjoyed the almost absolute power that the episcopal office gave him within his Church territory …

Dove invasion in Perchtoldsdorf Parish Church as an ecumenical community project
The installation was realized in a similar form in Salisbury Cathedral in southern England and has now been adapted for Perchtoldsdorf by Pastor Josef Grünwidl.
A flock of over a thousand doves has vigorously invaded the parish church in Perchtoldsdorf, and now the church's ceiling is filled with doves.
These are folded paper doves. What makes this project special is that it is a collaborative effort, crafted by many members of our parishes, both Catholic and Protestant, school classes, adult groups, and many individuals.
All of them folded the countless doves and, in some cases, sent them into the church's ceiling with personal messages. And so, the idea of an Anglican cathedral has evolved into an ecumenical community project in Perchtoldsdorf, which can be admired until the fall. The sight is overwhelming!
The doves, according to Father Grünwidl …

Archmodernist to be new Archbishop of Vienna. Now confirmed.
Archmodernist to be new Archbishop of Vienna. Now confirmed.
The Austrian Council of Ministers have this morning rubber-stamped the Pope's decision, which should be announced by the Vatican in the coming days.
Below a profile from ORF, the Austrian BBC.
Josef Grünwidl, Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Vienna, spoke about challenges and reform issues in the Roman Catholic Church and his personal approach to faith.
In an interview broadcast on Sunday on the Ö1 program "Lebenskunst" (Art of Living), the former episcopal vicar expressed his openness to reforms such as mandatory celibacy and emphasized the need for the church to engage more closely with people's spiritual needs and realities.
Grünwidl expressed concern about the profound changes in the religious landscape in Austria. The decline in church affiliation is not just a reaction to church structures, but an expression of a comprehensive loss of faith in society.
"The era of the popular church is over," he explained.…

Papal idolisation of paedophile priest started by Francis continues
Papal idolisation of paedophile priest started by Francis continues
Address to members of the Committee for the centenary of Don Lorenzo Milani, 22 January 2024), had as his motto “I care”, that is, “It matters to me, I am interested, it is close to my heart”. I urge you not to be passive, and to do your part to shape the face of a Church that cares about people’s lives, and especially the poorest.
Unfortunately, Don Lorenzo Milani can only be described as an utterly despicable character as can be seen from an article from 2018 translated below. Francis was, from his comments, clearly aware of this but still preferred him to the Holy Cure d'Ars as a model for priests. An extraordinary revelation also below.
On June 20, 2017, Pope Francis left the Vatican to visit the foundation of Don Lorenzo Milani in Barbiana and pray at the grave of the priest, who died in 1967. He described him as a role model for priests. On December 23, a "disciple" of Don Milani, who wanted to realize his …

Eucharistic hard drive reliquary for Carlo Acutis becomes pilgrimage magnet
Wolfsberg Parish
Reliquary designed by artist reminiscent of hard drive and also references the Eucharist
According to the Wolfsberg Parish, St. Mark's Church in the Carinthian town has become a "new point on the map of pilgrimage sites in Austria," where a first-degree relic of Carlo Acutis (1991-2006) has been permanently on display since April 2023. The "hard drive reliquary" was designed by the Polish artist Mariusz Drapikowski and symbolizes the life and piety of the young Italian, who will be canonized by Pope Leo XIV in Rome on September 7. Wolfsberg is thus "part of an international network of places of veneration for Carlo Acutis," according to a text published Thursday by Parish Priest Krzysztof Kranicki
Acutis, who died in Italy at the age of 15, developed a deep connection to the Eucharist despite his early death, which he described as "my highway to heaven," the statement states. In addition to his …
V cerkvi v Wolfsbergu na avstrijskem Koroškem je od aprila 2023 shranjena majhna kapsula s pramenom las Carla Acutisa (1991-2006). Relikviarij, ki ga je ustvaril poljski umetnik Mariusz Drapikowski, simbolizira računalniški trdi disk. Relikviarij trdega diska je menda privlačen za množice.

Pope Leo delivers eulogy for anti-modernist hero
Pope Leo delivers eulogy for anti-modernist hero
Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val (1865–1930) was a strong advocate of anti-modernism and opposed the reconciliation of the Church with the Jews. The Pope has now delivered a eulogy for him – focusing on his modesty.
Pope Leo XIV has delivered a eulogy for the Spanish Curia Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val, who died in 1930. The cleric served as Cardinal Secretary of State from 1903 to 1914 and then Secretary of the Vatican's Office for the Doctrine of the Faith until his death. He is considered a representative of a clearly anti-modernist and anti-Judaic course in church policy.
The Pope now honored Merry del Val for his personal modesty and for his pastoral commitment to disadvantaged youth in Rome. The speech, delivered in Spanish, was released by the Vatican Press Office on Monday. The occasion was an audience for members of a Spanish association that cultivates the cardinal's spiritual legacy.
Recognition of his diplomatic work

Modernist concerned closure of modern churches is destroying post-Conciliar liturgy
Modernist concerned closure of modern churches is destroying post-Conciliar liturgy
After 1945, church construction in Germany experienced a boom. Theologian Andreas Poschmann explains why post-war churches are often undervalued today, which liturgical ideas shape them, and why their loss through desecration and demolition would be a problem.
For many people, post-war churches are a rather ugly relic of the 1950s and 1960s. But these places of worship are more than just concrete and glass: They reflect, among other things, the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council and tell the story of congregations that grew together again after the war. Theologian Andreas Poschmann, who initiated the "Street of Modernism" project for church buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries a few years ago, explains why post-war churches are often underestimated today – and why their loss would be a cultural and liturgical problem.
Poschmann: It was an absolute boom time, because many churches were …
Why don't the Muslims torch them! That would be a blessing.
Ugly venues for a 'stripped-down' "mass". IT'S EXACTLY THESE MONSTROSITIES THAT NEED TO BE CLOSED AND BULLDOZED! Of course, when modernist bishops close parishes, it seems older venerable buildings are sold off to save the 'wreckovated sanctuaries' because they "speak to modern man"
This would be unwise
Will Pope Leo retain Tucho as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith?
Will Pope Leo retain Tucho as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith?
Leo XIV spent the morning of Friday, October 10, holding a series of official meetings at the Apostolic Palace. Among those attending were heads of dicasteries of the Curia, diplomatic representatives of the Holy See, bishops from the United States, a Japanese cardinal, and international delegations involved in the life of the Church.
He met with Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, accompanied by Bishop Armando Matteo, Secretary for the Doctrinal Section of the same organization.
Fernández, popularly known as "Tucho," is considered one of the Pope's closest associates, not only during the pontificate of Francis, under whom he was a confidant and collaborator, but also now under Leo XIV, who has chosen to retain him in his position as head of the doctrinal organization. Today's audience reinforces the idea that Rome continues to trust him as a key …

Spina Affair: Bishop de Kerimel puts another coin in the jukebox
While the dust has barely settled following the pathetic Spina affair, in which Bishop de Kerimel of Toulouse attempted to have a priest convicted of raping a teenager appointed chancellor, then laboriously tried to justify the unjustifiable by sharing his deviant visions of mercy and restorative justice, before having to backtrack after the intervention of the CEF and then Rome, the Archbishop of Toulouse has just responded to a lay leader of the MEJ in Toulouse, Margot Ferreira, who wrote to him to express her outrage. And the least we can say is that Bishop de Kerimel persists and stands firm, proving right the thousands of faithful who want him to retire as quickly as possible.
Margot Ferreira echoes the Archbishop's response to X: "We cannot, after ignoring the victims, forever condemn the perpetrators of abuse. Some experience true …

Modern Church finds new low. Modernist priest prefers Anglican "Bishop" Sarah to Catholic Cardinal Sarah
[…] By appointing a woman to this position for the first time, the Church of England places itself at the service of God's will as it has discerned it. We can then understand the significance of the event on the scale of Christianity, where many Churches, foremost among them the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, do not admit women as ordained ministers.
Whether it be faithfulness, wisdom, or error, the appointment of Sarah Mullally is a sign of controversy today, in the heat of the moment. The true deciding factor will be, as always in such cases, her testimony of holiness in the exercise of her ministry. A trained nurse, a senior civil servant in the British health service, a mother, and the first Bishop of London, "irreproachable, reasonable, able to teach," according to Saint Paul's words, sensitive to social realities, Sarah Mullally has all the hallmarks of a faithful follower of …
In his editorial, Assumptionist priest and La Croix editor-in-chief Arnaud Alibert describes the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury as a historic and deeply spiritual event. Announced by the British Prime Minister on October 3, this appointment places a woman for the first time at the head of the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion, which spans 165 countries and nearly 110 million faithful.
Alibert emphasizes that, beyond political appearances, this is a profoundly religious moment, guided by faith and by the Church’s discernment of God’s will.

"Without lay female theologians, our church would collapse." Modernist thinks she and her kind are a fundamental part of the Church
Edith Zingg, parish leader in Ostermundigen near Bern, participated in the international meeting of "Lay Ministers" in Rome this week. In conversation with us, she described her experiences as a woman in a leading church position and emphasized the importance of lay theologians for the future of the church – especially in the Diocese of Basel.
"It was very exciting to meet colleagues from South Korea, Ghana, the Philippines, India, the USA, Chile, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland," reports Zingg. During the exchange, it became clear that the conditions for lay people in leadership positions vary greatly around the world. In her parish near Bern, Zingg leads a team of around 30 employees – from catechists and theologians to the sacristan. "De jure, there is also a leading priest, but de facto, the responsibility lies with me," she explains. She has been …

Bishop of Innsbruck: The power and healing powerlessness of images is the central theme of the exhibition "God Has No Museum. Aspects of Religion in Contemporary Art"
"God Has No Museum. Aspects of Religion in Contemporary Art" - This is the programmatic title of the anniversary exhibition at Graz's "Kultum," which was opened by Bishop Hermann Glettler on Friday evening. The bishop responsible for art and culture in the Catholic Bishops' Conference addressed the "power and healing powerlessness of images." In ten sequences, the Bishop of Innsbruck acknowledged the ten sections of the exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of the Graz cultural institution and concluded: "One cannot escape the dramatic arc and fascination of this anniversary exhibition – nor can one escape the highly energetic setting here in the Minorite Monastery, which has established itself in recent decades …
Judging from recent experience, maybe they should start teaching art appreciation in seminaries to cut down on the number of such blasphemous embarrassments.
