Francis’s “passionate commitment to changing things” and Leo’s “ministry of unity” are “perfectly complementary”, English pro-homosexual Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe told Repubblica.it on February 16. Leo XIV entrusted Cardinal Radcliffe with the introductory meditation for the January Consistory. When asked if Leo XIV will continue or correct Francis’s synodal impulse, Radcliffe replied that the synod is continually evolving: "Leo XIV is already advancing synodality in an exciting way." A Few Catholics Make A Lot of Noise Progressive Cardinal Radcliffe stated that the polarization between “traditionalists” and “progressives” is foreign to Catholicism. He added that "there are only a few people who fall into this trap, although they make a lot of noise." In response to being labeled progressive, Cardinal Radcliffe attacks: "Those who condemn me usually haven't read anything I've written. As a Catholic, I cannot accept being put in such a small box. As the Australian novelist Richard …بیشتر
Pope Pius IX ~~~ Pope Pius IX condemned the proposition that 'Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion, which, guided by the light of reason...,'
"So I hope that the issue with the Society of Pius X is helpful for the entire Church to give them the possibility, really, honestly, charitably, pastorally, synodally to give their contribution to clarify, to improve, to correct the ambiguity and this will be a service for us all....so therefore, I fear that this harsh behavior of the Holy See towards this uncompromising and imprudent behavior of the Holy See towards the issue of the Society of Pius X"
In a February interview with Robert Moynihan, Bishop Athanasius Schneider addressed the SSPX and pushed back on Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández’s claim that Vatican II’s texts “cannot be modified.” Vatican II, as stated by Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, was a pastoral council, not dogmatic. He cited the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) as an example of a council containing disciplinary statements the Church would not uphold today. On the SSPX, Schneider proposed bringing them into minimum canonical integration first, then continuing doctrinal dialogue. He warned that harshness risks creating long-term alienation and contrasted the Vatican’s strictness toward the SSPX with what he sees as a more accommodating approach toward China.

This is one of the points on which we have insisted.”

The Eclipse (Short history of post-conciliarism) 1. Ignore the World War II memento, never mind Cold War clouds that loom, new spring we start, aggiornamento, so woe to all those seers of doom. Let people make their new investments, restore all things in wordly goals, behold the KGB in vestments, welcome the AJC in shawls. Old-fashioned visions of Don Bosco, Fatima secrets – we don’t see, Good Pope John smiled at blood-red Moscow, Good Pope John smiled at NYC. 2. So many fathers sit in sessions but most of them just love to nod, robbing Our King of His possessions, for lesser glory of Lord God. Behold the Table, down with Ara, give ecumenism a free pass, so tell me how much is a tiara? and what’s the worth of the ancient Mass? Here come observers – a whole legion and break the liturgical yoke, Sad Pope Paul met the man’s religion and Sad Pope Paul ignored the smoke. 3. New hope arrives for people waiting, New Advent bells begin to ring and all the earth is celebrating Midsummer of …بیشتر
Eclipse of the mind? Eclipse of the Church? Or perhaps eclipse of the Catholics ? Anyway, Mr VRS has listed almost all the atrocities we've witnessed over the last 50 years of the 20th century. He did it concisely, symbolically and tastefully. Of course, the actors, i.e., the wolves on stage playing the role of sheep, are exposed here. Lest we forget them- the actors playing the leading roles. Lest we be fooled by their false smiles, their perfidious gestures and their would-be holiness.

"Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber." That's Joel 2:16, today's reading for Ash Wednesday. When's the last time you heard a homily on *that* part? The prophet is calling the whole community to fasting and repentance—and he specifically mentions newlyweds. Even they must leave their bridal chamber and join the assembly in sackcloth. The honeymoon can wait. God is calling. For most of Christian history, married couples understood this literally. Lent meant sexual abstinence—forty days, the whole season. It wasn't a fringe practice. It was normal. Jerome taught it. Augustine assumed it. Medieval penitentials prescribed it. Your great-grandmother's generation probably still whispered about it. Now? Crickets. Try suggesting it today and watch the think-pieces roll in about "unhealthy attitudes toward sexuality" and "inadequate theology of marriage." We've spent sixty years talking about marital intimacy as a "gift from God," as if the marriage bed were something …بیشتر
Torn, Dirt-Stained Cloth as Lenten Installation in Cathedral: During Lent 2026, the installation “Trauerfetzen” is displayed in the Cathedral in Innsbruck, Austria. The work consists of 20 burnt, smoke-treated and weathered cotton cloths sewn together into a 140-square-meter structure suspended within the cathedral space. Innsbruck diocese is ruined by Bishop Hermann Glettler.
Das Fastentuch „Trauerfetzen“ des Wiener Künstlers Jakob Kirchmayr ist im Dom St. Jakob in Innsbruck zu sehen. Das 140 Quadratmeter große Werk besteht aus 20 verbrannten, mit Asche, Erde und Kohle bearbeiteten Baumwolltüchern, die zu einem einzigen großen „Trauerfetzen“ zusammengenäht wurden. Es wirkt wie ein verletzter, fragiler Körper und erinnert an Zerstörung, Krieg.
Over one million people had already perished, another million were fleeing, and Britain — the most powerful empire on Earth — did nothing. Then, thousands of miles away, a 24-year-old Ottoman sultan heard about the suffering. His name was Sultan Abdul Majid I, ruler of the Ottoman Empire. He pledged £10,000 to Irish famine relief — five times more than what Queen Victoria sent to her own people. When Britain demanded the donation be reduced to avoid embarrassment, the sultan agreed publicly — but acted differently in private. He quietly loaded five ships with food, grain, and medicine and sent them across the seas. When British authorities tried to block the aid, the ships sailed under darkness — unloading supplies directly to starving families in Drogheda. Ireland never forgot. this day, Drogheda United Football Club still carries the Ottoman star and crescent on its crest — a reminder that when an empire abandoned them, a sultan broke through a blockade to help. The Day a Muslim …بیشتر
