A Roman intelligence investigation has led to the arrest of two former Italian intelligence agents, Gavino Raoul Piras and Vincenzo Di Pasquale, who are accused of selling classified information to the Russian GRU (military intelligence). The investigation, which began in 2025, was initiated after the Italian AISI (Internal Security Agency) detected the Russians had recruited an ex-agent. The Russian agent, Mikhail Astakhov, operated under a diplomatic cover in Italy, allowing him to avoid arrest.
Cardinal López Romero Steps Back Amid Investigation: Spanish-born Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, Archbishop of Rabat, has stepped back from public ministry after five adult women filed complaints against him.

As true about capitalism now as it was when Adam Smith wrote about the 'invisible hand'. The trouble is that too many countries are no longer 'capitalist' (a Marxist pejorative now) economies, as Smith defined them, but are 'tinkered-with' economies where ideologies, anxieties, and taxes tip the economic scales and essentially incapacitate (amputate?) 'the hand'.
Rector of the chief SSPX seminary (Écône) Fr. Bernard de Lacoste stated that it's -- “absolutely certain that priests faithful to Tradition now benefit from a supplementary jurisdiction which allows them to validly absolve all the faithful who come to confess to them.” Says the SSPX-Rome problem is “doctrinal, not disciplinary,” adding –– “What bothers the Roman authorities today is our attachment to Catholic doctrine & our rejection of the errors of the Second Vatican Council. That is the heart of the problem.”
From the ancient Maronite village of Deir El Ahmar in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, we witnessed one of the most beautiful moments in the life of the Church: the ordination of a new priest.

Douglas Morgan The missing half of the U.S. national debt has been identified. The Federal Reserve CONFIRMS: The U.S. Congress has built the single largest racket empire on the planet: U.S. NGOs have combined assets totaling $14.2 trillion of your tax money. “India’s and Japan’s GDPs are each just over $4 trillion, Germany’s is $5 trillion, and together they total about $13.5 trillion. Guess what? The combined assets of U.S. NGOs equal $14.2 trillion of your tax money—and that of your children, grandchildren, and great-great-great-great-grandchildren.” In other words, the root of all corruption… the racket—U.S. Congress has racketed half the U.S. national debt to the planet’s most profitable organizations The missing half of the U.S. national debt has …
1) Fiducia Supplicans: a) Genesis 18:20; Then Yahweh said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is very grave.” b) Genesis 19:24. 27–28; Yahweh rained down fire and sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah from Yahweh. Abraham rose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and the entire surrounding region; and behold, he saw the smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. c) 1 Corinthians 6:9–10: Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. d) Ezekiel 18:21; As for the wicked person, if he turns away from all the sins he has committed, keeps all my decrees, and practices righteousness and justice, he will surely live; he will not die. 2) …More
Das Vierte Laterankonzil hat unfehlbar die Glaubenswahrheit dogmatisiert: "nulla salus extra ecclesiam." Das haben übrigens die Kirchenväter auch schon ao gesehen. Wer dieses Dogma leugnet und andere Gottheiten anerkennt exkommuniziert sich ipso facto. Völlig eindeutig und ohne jeden Zweifel. Nicht zufällig heißt das Erste Gebot ja auch "Du sollst keine anderen Götter neben mir haben." Für Pachamama werden da keine Ausnahmen gemacht. Kann also ein unzweifelhaft Exkommunizierter wie Bergoglio, Ratzinger oder Prevost Papst sein?
“We must put an end to liturgical abuses that contradict the teachings of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela, 89, Archbishop Emeritus of Madrid, told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7. Furthermore, he called for “understanding for those who wish to attend the older rite” and for “respect for the freedom of the faithful within the communion of the Church” - that is, “not by imposing excessive regulations.” He described Pope Benedict XVI’s Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum (July 7, 2007) as “a very understanding and balanced measure, and I think it was a good one.” He added: “In Madrid there is still a church where the traditional rite is celebrated.” German Bishops Acting Against the Church On the German Synodal Way, Cardinal Rouco Varela said that “canon law has been stretched beyond its limits” and warned that the situation “affects the fundamental aspects of the faith.” If the planned synodal committee in Germany were to function as “a body exercising authority within …More

Worse than Germany: Archbishop Erio Castellucci of Modena-Nonantola has proposed a form of liturgical "co-presidency" in which women would lead the Liturgy of the Word while priests would preside over the Eucharistic consecration. The proposal appears in a speech published on May 24 in the diocesan bulletin, delivered at a conference organized by the Centro Italiano Femminile in Carpi. Monsignor Castellucci is the vice President of the Italian bishops and President of the National Committee for the Italian Synod. He suggested that women could take responsibility for the first part of the Eucharist, proclaiming the Resurrection "as Mary Magdalene did to the apostles." This would sidestep "the impasse" over women's ordination while still respecting Church teaching that only a priest can consecrate. Archbishop Castellucci also called for expanding shared governance in the Church, proposing that consultative councils' recommendations be made binding after a process of "consensus-building,"…More

On July 6, Cardinal Müller spoke with K-TV about the Traditional Latin Mass and the FSSPX episcopal consecrations. Key statements: - "The implementation of the liturgical reform was marked by many abuses because many failed to grasp the spirit of the renewed liturgy and neglected its essential elements: the worship of God, the communication of salvation, and reverence before God." - "The so-called old rite is not forbidden. Rather, it is permitted to a certain extent and under certain conditions, and it is, of course, valid." - "Pope Benedict XVI made the wise decision that the same Latin liturgy could be celebrated in both its ordinary and extraordinary forms." - "The faithful always have the opportunity to attend the Holy Mass celebrated according to the older form." - "Many people may have sympathies for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X because they believe that the Catholic faith and the liturgy are being preserved there against many of the abuses found in modernist circles.…More
U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch has described an informal Independence Day dinner he hosted for Pope Leo XIV at his residence in Rome. Speaking with Italian media, Burch said the pope arrived at 7:30 p.m. on July 4, prayed with the ambassador's family, and shared a meal featuring American charcuterie, watermelon salad, Chicago-style hot dogs, apple pie, and gelato. Burch said Leo XIV approved of the menu. The pope arrived without aides or secretaries, accompanied only by two Vatican gendarmes. Burch said he invited Leo XIV to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States by hosting the first U.S.-born pope. The invitation was sent about two months before the dinner, and confirmation came about a month later. The ambassador also said Leo XIV still carries a Peruvian credit card, uses a cellphone, follows the Chicago White Sox, and sometimes wakes during the night to check soccer scores. The dinner took place the same day Leo XIV visited Lampedusa. Burch said the pope rejected …More
