Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, emeritus of Caracas, was stopped from leaving Venezuela on December 10. Authorities at Simón Bolívar International Airport annulled his passport as he prepared to board a flight to Madrid. Officials informed him he was under a travel ban, confiscated his passport, and detained him for about two hours before sending him back to his residence. He was escorted even to go to the bathroom. Authorities claimed “non-compliance with travel regulations” and required Cardinal Porras to sign a document confirming he could not travel. The cardinal reported that when he attempted to photograph the document, he was threatened with arrest. He also said an officer told him he appeared as “deceased” in the government system, which was used to justify the passport cancellation. The incident follows growing tension between the Venezuelan government and the Church. Weeks earlier, Cardinal Porras had described the situation in Venezuela as “morally unacceptable …More
More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
Cardinal José Cobo Is an Active Homosexual, a Spanish TV host claims publicly: On 20 November, Federico Jiménez Losantos, a well-known Spanish radio host and political commentator, said on his show: "If you see a bishop, examine him. Some of them have boyfriends who are involved in all kinds of trouble, yet they go around preaching the gospel. My goodness, I don't even want to think about it. I'm referring to Cobo, the bishop of Madrid." Jiménez Losantos didn't present factual information. He made this insinuation after spending several minutes explaining that the Catholic hierarchy is cowardly, treacherous, and aligned with the government.
En su programa de este 20 de noviembre, Federico Jiménez Losantos dejó caer una frase que, en cualquier época mínimamente sana de la Iglesia, habría desatado un escándalo de proporciones sísmicas: «Hay alguno que tiene al novio también metido en toda clase de líos… Me refiero a Cobo, el obispo de Madrid»
Leo XIV on his visit to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul: "But who said I didn't pray? People claimed I didn't pray, but I had already responded to that on the plane: I mentioned a book and said that it may well be that you are praying even at this moment, do you understand? The nature of prayer depends on the moment and the place. Personally, I prefer to pray in a Catholic church, before the Blessed Sacrament; but if this moment caused such a stir, it seems a little strange to me."
Leone XIV manda in tilt i … Leone XIV manda in tilt i vaticanisti:«Preferisco pregare in una Chiesa piuttosto che in Moschea» Dopo l’atto di venerazione all’Immacolata in Piazza di Spagna di lunedì 8 dicembre, Papa Leone XIV si è trasferito a Castel Gandolfo, nella villa Barberini, per trascorrere alcune ore di riposo. Martedì mattina il Pontefice ha ricevuto il presidente dell’Ucraina e, in serata, dopo cena, ha fatto rientro in Vaticano. Come di consueto, prima di salire in auto per tornare a San Pietro, il Papa si è intrattenuto con i giornalisti davanti a villa Barberini. Tra le domande, quella di Jacopo Scaramuzzi – vaticanista di La Repubblica ormai noto nell’ambiente per porgere quesiti spesso privi di reale senso – che ha chiesto perché Leone XIV non abbia pregato in moschea durante il recente viaggio in Turchia. Il Papa ha reagito con evidente sorpresa, quasi stupito di dover spiegare perché un Pontefice non preghi in una moschea. «Hanno detto che non ho pregato …More
On 19 November, Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, wrote on his blog, OldYosef.HkCatholic.com, about the history and dangers of the Synod. He recalls that Francis "regrettably" restructured this institution of bishops to include lay members. Thus, it became a hybrid "consultative assembly of the baptised", convened under the name of Synod. However, Cardinal Zen is more concerned that the central leaders of the Synod clearly sought to advance significant reforms to Church doctrine and discipline. He accuses the synod leaders of wasting meeting time with childish "conversations in the Spirit", and of avoiding formal discussion as much as possible. Meanwhile, a large group of facilitators, experts, secretaries and undersecretaries controlled the assembly. Regarding the final document, Cardinal Zen notes that Francis endorsed it as his "papal teaching". Francis urged everyone to read, understand and implement it 'on a trial basis', with the outcomes of the entire experiment to be reviewed …More
President Donald Trump became the first U.S. President to issue a statement to Catholics on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception: Today, I recognize every American celebrating December 8 as a Holy Day honoring the faith, humility, and love of Mary, mother of Jesus and one of the greatest figures in the Bible. On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Catholics celebrate what they believe to be Mary’s freedom from original sin as the mother of God. She first entered recorded history as a young woman when, according to Holy Scripture, the Angel Gabriel greeted her in the village of Nazareth with news of a miracle: “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you,” announcing that “you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.” In one of the most profound and consequential acts of history, Mary heroically accepted God’s will with trust and humility: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Mary’s decision forever …

The Vatican announced the episcopal consecration of Monsignor Francesco Li Jianlin as the new bishop of the Prefecture of Xinxiang in Henan, China, on December 5. The liturgy was held at the church of Weihui and celebrated by Bishop Li Shan of Beijing. He heads the state-controlled Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. Li Jianlin is the second bishop elected during the papal interregnum following the death of Pope Francis. The appointment was formally approved by Pope Leo XIV on August 11. It comes with the acceptance of the “resignation” of the underground bishop Giuseppe Zhang Weizhu of Xinxiang. Loyal Catholic Bishop Erased from Memory The official Chinese report made no mention of papal approval and omitted any reference to Bishop Zhang Weizhu. Appointed in 1991, he was never recognized by Beijing. For decades he faced arrests, restrictions, and suppression because he refused to join the Patriotic Association. One notable episode occurred in 2021, when police dismantled a clandestine …More
"The way to Heaven is tough. Our time has reached a higher intensity of evil than before. Temptations are greater than ever,” said Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X in an interview with Kenya’s Immaculata TV on 23 November (video below). He explained that there has been a terrible crisis in the Church since Vatican II, including a terrifying decline in vocations: "You wonder how far it can go." And, "The influence of the Church on the world is now reduced to nothing." Bishop Fellay quoted Cardinal Ratzinger’s well-known prediction that the Church as we know it will disappear and be reduced to "little islands": "I fear we are very close to that time." He continued, "A lot of things in the Church have already been destroyed." On Tucho’s Document About Marian Titles Regarding Cardinal Victor (Tucho) Fernández and his recent document on the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces, Bishop Fellay called it “pitiful.” “It is an insult to God,” he …More
Rome has shown legitimate liturgical flexibility concerning the filioque—omitting it at Nicaea, and permitting Eastern-rite Catholics to profess the Creed without it in keeping with the received tradition of their rites—but papal infallibility cannot be relegated to a negotiable adaptation or cultural variance.
In his homily during the Divine Liturgy in Istanbul on 30 November, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew referred to the theological differences between Orthodoxy and the Church. He referred to the Apostle Andrew as the founder of a distinct church, and identified Catholic dogmas as an obstacle to achieving full unity. The quotes: - "As successors of the two holy Apostles [Andrew and Peter], the founders of our respective Churches, we feel bound by ties of spiritual brotherhood." - "We can only pray that issues such as the filioque and infallibility will be resolved such that their understanding no longer serve as stumbling blocks to the communion of our Churches." #newsKhlgvfjdnl
The Vatican on Thursday published the conclusions of its study commission on women deacons. The Commission rules out admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders, but without issuing a definitive judgment at this time. The report stresses repeatedly that the negative assessment is “strong” yet “does not permit formulating a definitive judgment,” unlike the case of priestly ordination. Submission of the Report to Pope Leo XIV On 18 September, Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi, President of the Study Commission on the Female Diaconate, submitted to Pope Leo XIV a detailed synthesis of the Commission’s work. The report reflects several years of historical, theological, and pastoral investigation. Historical Findings: A Non-Sacramental Ancient Practice The Commission revisited the findings of two earlier Vatican commissions. Historical research confirms that, in the early Church, the title deaconess appeared in different regions and periods, but with …More
While he admitted his face is very expressive, he cautioned journalists who might try to use it to interpret his thoughts and feelings. They are “not always correct,” he said. If people want to know what guides the pope’s thoughts, he said, it’s his trust in God. “In the midst of great challenge, living in Peru during years of terrorism, being called to several places where I never thought I would be called to serve to … I trust in God, and that message is something that I share with all people,” he said.
On the flight back to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV answered authorised questions from journalists. Main quotes. - During this trip, I also met privately with representatives of various groups connected to political authorities and to internal or international conflicts in the region. Our work happens mostly behind the scenes, not in public statements. - A year or two ago I also thought that I would one day retire. … One simply gives his life to the Lord and allows the Lord to guide him. - If you want to know something about me—what my spirituality has been for many years, amid great challenges … I trust in God. - I surrendered [at the conclave] when I saw how things were going. I took a deep breath and said, "Here we are, Lord, you are the boss, you lead the way." - My face is very expressive, but I am often amused by how journalists interpret my face. You think you can read my mind or my face. You are not always right. - The Holy See does not have direct involvement [Russia/NATO] because …More
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Łódź as the new Archbishop of Kraków in Poland. Born in Krakow in 1964, he was ordained as a priest in 1988. In 2011, Benedict XVI appointed him as an auxiliary bishop of Krakow. Pope Francis named him archbishop of Łódź in 2017 and cardinal in September 2023. Francis' man in Poland Edward Pentin described Cardinal Ryś on CollegeOfCardinalsReport.com as an extremely liberal bishop and as Poland’s "Pope Francis man". "His elevation to the cardinalate was seen as a reward and encouragement for his attempts to reform Poland's conservative Church." Pentin added that, since Ryś became a member of the Congregation for Bishops in October 2023, new bishops in Poland have been more progressive than their predecessors. Like Cardinal Ryś, they all strongly promote the Church’s new synodal way. In October 2023, Cardinal Ryś said that opposition to Pope Francis is "completely unjust" and "always based on one or two phrases taken out of …More
Bishop Fernando Arêas Rifan, 75, was received on November 15 by Pope Leo XIV. He is the Apostolic Administrator of São João Maria Vianney, in Campos, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is committed to the Roman Rite. He is the only "official" Bishop of the Roman rite. On November 17, he described the 30-minute audience on dapostolica.org. He recounted to Leo XIV the history of his Administration, which originated with Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer of Campos (+1991), who had joined Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Bishop Rifan presented Leo XIV with some of his books, articles, and explanations: “I spoke about our theological and spiritual path, about how we emerged from a state of separation from the Church and how we came to understand the necessity of communion, in which we now find ourselves, thanks to God and to the Church.” Leo XIV asked him several questions about his position, which Monsignor Rifan answered "correctly", leaving the Pope "satisfied": "He realized that we are very different …More
Synod study group 5 gives update on work of Commission looking at female diaconate following the Synod: “All synodal contributions related to this subject have been forwarded to that Commission for its consideration”
The Vatican’s Synod Secretariat published on November 17 an Interim Report (28 pages) on its ten study groups. It is essentially a progress update toward a final report expected by December 31, 2025. “A special word must be reserved for the question of women's access to the diaconate,” the Interim Report notes, adding that the final document will address “the specific theme of the participation of women in the life and leadership of the Church.” On homosexuality, the Interim Report states: “Some emerging issues (which we find more appropriate to designate thus rather than as controversial) will be addressed in a manner that offers an operational dimension to the proposals advanced.” The Synodal “Paradigm Shift”: Subjectivity of Sinner The document proposes a "principle of pastorality" as "an interpretive horizon to express this paradigm shift (also in relation to the love/truth relationship).” It calls for a “mutual interaction between life (of the believer) and doctrine” and …More
Notice that all the screens have the blasphemous demonic depiction of Christ that resembles a serpent from that abominable statue at the center of what is called the Paul Vi audience hall. That building is of Satan. It is a source of continual scandal. Nothing but venom and falsehood spew from between its fangs. Seeing they do not see. Wake up folks.
Next they will be working on the question "Is the moon made of blue cheese" — which, frankly, will be of much more use. What a complete load of rubbish!
Bishop Daniel Garcia, 65, has banned kneelers for receiving Holy Communion in the Diocese of Austin, Texas. A diocesan letter dated November 12 and published by Wdtprs.com acknowledges that the use of kneelers during the distribution of Communion has become increasingly common in recent years. Nevertheless, the memo states plainly: “Bishop Garcia asks that the practice of setting out a kneeler for Holy Communion be discontinued.” The diocese cites three reasons/excuses for the cruel decision: "1. The General Instruction for the Roman Missal (GIRM) states, “The norm established for the Dioceses of the United States of America is that Holy Communion is to be received standing, unless an individual member of the faithful wishes to receive Communion while kneeling,” (GIRM 160); 2. The placing of a kneeler near the distribution of Holy Communion could confuse the faithful regarding what is the norm while sending a message that one way of receiving Holy Communion is more, or less, appropriate; and …More
Bishop Athanasius Schneider published an article on DianeMontagna.substack.com about the Co-Redemptrix. Reprinted with permission. They Could Not Have Been Mistaken: The Voice of the Saints, Doctors, and the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church in Affirming Mary as “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces”. By Bishop Athanasius Schneider Over the course of time, the Ordinary Magisterium, together with numerous Saints and Doctors of the Church, have taught the Marian doctrines of Coredemption and Mediation, employing among other expressions the specific titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Consequently, it cannot be maintained that the Ordinary Magisterium, along with Saints and Doctors of the Church over so many centuries, could have led the faithful astray through a consistently inappropriate use of these Marian titles. Moreover, throughout the ages, this Marian doctrine and the use of these titles have also expressed the sensus fidei—the sense of faith of the …More
