Two priests and a subdeacon of the Transalpine Redemptorists have fled from the monastery island of Papa Stronsay, Scotland, according to PressAndJournal.co.uk on May 20. The three reportedly coordinated their departure with Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, who is expected to establish a new community with them in his diocese. They are said to have secretly contacted the bishop using a monastery laptop and left the island by boat without informing their superiors. The plan was discovered on the laptop on the day of their departure. Father Anthony Mary criticized the men for leaving in secret. “They left on the evening boat, and we have heard nothing since — no word, no explanation, nothing,” he said. He also accused Bishop Hugh Gilbert of having “worked against us.” Father Michael Mary, founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists, said the three left because of “theological differences.” The departure came shortly after the community published a manifesto rejecting the legitimacy of …Magis
Nel cuore del mese di maggio, il mese per eccellenza dedicato alla Vergine Maria, la tradizione certosina ci offre una voce rara e preziosa: quella di Dom François Pollien, il cui pensiero si muove nelle profondità silenziose della vita contemplativa. Questo sermone capitolare nacque per essere pronunciato una sola volta, tra le mura di un chiostro, per una comunità di monaci riuniti in capitolo. Non fu scritto per essere pubblicato, né pensato per occhi estranei alla clausura. Eppure, oggi, possiamo leggerlo. Questa sola circostanza è già un dono straordinario: essere ammessi, quasi per grazia, nell’intimità di una parola monastica che non cercava il mondo, e che proprio per questo ha qualcosa di essenziale da dirgli. In un tempo che spesso confonde l’attività frenetica con la fecondità spirituale, le parole di Pollien risuonano come un invito controcorrente — non verso l’evasione dal mondo, ma verso quella solitudine interiore che è la radice di ogni autentico amore. Con rigore …
Fr. Gerald E. Murray on EWTN: "And the document, the report of study group number nine is horrific. I'll say that quite clearly. I've read that document. I find it to be a subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality. And this is a really, really crucial moment for the church because. The program of subversion in plain sight of Catholic teaching on the immoral nature of homosexual activity and the disordered nature of the homosexual inclination, this is a number one target for some people in the church. And sad to say, the Synod office is now just another public relations arm of that pressure group."
Worse than Germany: During Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain in June, the Archdiocese of Madrid will not be providing confessionals at any of the large-scale events or during the youth vigil. Instead, 'listening spaces' staffed by lay pastoral workers who have received specific training for this purpose. These spaces will be located along Paseo de la Castellana. Sara de la Torre, the press speaker for the Archdiocese of Madrid, told the Substack.com account ‘The Pillar’ that the “listening spaces” do not replace confessions, but complement them. Catholics should look to confess at any of Madrid's many parishes. The “listening spaces” are intended for those who wish to have a conversation, and are “something different”. On 6 June, during the youth vigil in Plaza de Lima, there will be no confessionals. At previous church gatherings in recent decades, such as World Youth Days, the presence of priests hearing confessions was at least a sign of Catholicism and the sacrament of reconciliation. …Magis
German Clown Liturgy: Future and end of Novus Ordo On May 14, during Germany’s Katholikentag in Würzburg, a “clown liturgy” was held at Stift Haug Collegiate Church as part of the national Catholic gathering. This "Liturgy of the word" featured 18 clowns who used theater, music, dance, and staged performances to present themes of courage, hope, and “being found and saved.”
Es gab beim Katholikentag einfach eine literarische Clown-Messe.
Please, please @chris griffin and @la verdad prevalece let us have peace. Peace among Brethren. We must be unified during this darkness to stand against the enemies of Christ and those who hate the Faith.
The German Bishops’ Conference gave Leo XIV a "very clear vote in favor of the female diaconate", Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg told Mainpost.de on May 19. Now it is up to Leo XIV "to decide how things proceed," Bishop Jung added. The issue remains on the agenda and, in his view, it will "not be pushed aside from anytime soon".

The 1986 video of John Paul II in Fiji is currently going viral again online. During his visit to Suva, the Pope was welcomed with a traditional yaqona (kava) ceremony: indigenous, half-naked Fijian chiefs in ceremonial dress sat around the large communal tanoa bowl while kava - a ritual drink made from the root of the yaqona plant - was mixed and served to the Pope in a coconut-shell cup. These ceremonies were not merely social gatherings, but tied to chiefly authority, reconciliation rites, and connection to the ancestral world.
Johannes Paul II erlaubte diese Heidenzeremonie in seiner Gegenwart. Ähnlich wie der Pachamama-Kult...
La chiesa conciliare e sinodale odia questa Chiesa...se la odia è perchè le è dissimile, e se le è dissimile, non è del vero ceppo della Chiesa Cattolica Apostolica e Romana. Dunque...perchè non se ne vanno nella chiesa protestante, di cui fanno parte, invece di cacciare noi cattolici dalla Chiesa?
Graduale von 1961, geeignet für die Freunde vom Missale Romanum. eine gute Hilfestellung für alle Angehörigen von einem Chor einer Schola oder für einen Kantor.
