Vatican concludes “reflection process” with bi-ritual congregation SJM. The Vatican has formally concluded a multi-year reflection process involving the Servants of Jesus and Mary (SJM), a Catholic religious congregation in Austria, founded in 1988. The community celebrates both the Novus Ordo and the traditional Roman rite. It remains closely associated with the Catholic Scouts of Europe (KPE). The Vatican’s process began in late 2022, when it appointed former abbot Raimund Schreier as Apostolic Assistant. His task was to “accompany” the SJM for a period originally planned to last three years. The community examined its history, internal structures, self-understanding and its founder, former Jesuit Andreas Hönisch. In June, the community and the Apostolic Assistant submitted the relevant documents to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Religious. It has now declared the process concluded. According to the SJM, the dicastery encouraged the congregation to: - “continue promoting an open culture …Dabalata
Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich described (the Church’s two millennia of belief) the process of synodality initiated by Pope Francis as “irreversible.” At the same time, referring to the Church in Europe, Cardinal Hollerich told Kurier.at that this “process of decline is also a process of healing.”
Decline is destruction, which leads to death. Healing is growth, with strength and endurance, which produces good health, both spiritually and physically.
Church decline: Scottish bishops present plans to merge dioceses. The bishops of Scotland have presented on Monday seven options for a possible reduction in the number of dioceses. The Vatican had asked the bishops to review the diocesan structure in light of declining clergy numbers and diminishing resources. The bishops, however, say the process is “about how we can better proclaim the Gospel” and “strengthen our parishes and communities for evangelisation”. Six options envisage mergers: five would each merge two dioceses, while one would bring together three. The seventh option would retain Scotland’s current eight dioceses but provide for greater cooperation and mutual support. The eight dioceses are currently divided between the ecclesiastical provinces of Glasgow and St Andrews and Edinburgh. The proposed mergers are Argyll and the Isles with Paisley; Argyll and the Isles with Glasgow; Paisley with Galloway; Galloway with Motherwell; and St Andrews and Edinburgh with Dunkeld. A …Dabalata
A bakery in Chiclayo, Peru, has launched “Dulce Bendición,” a Pope-shaped version of King Kong. This local dessert is made from layers of biscuit and manjar blanco, a milk-caramel filling. The first 500, shaped like Pope Leo XIV, sold out on launch day. The bakery plans to make up to 1,000 a day in November, when Leo XIV visits Peru.

In the spiritual life, we always desire to be closer to God and have more graces. In the secular world we are never satisfied as our passions control us.
He is not Catholic so who cares. What should concern us us is when the Catholic hierarchy bows down to pagan idols like all the post conciliar popes did. Budda, Pachimama etc.

CATHOLIC EUROPE, WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! | SG News A video from Belgium has ignited an intense debate among Catholics about liturgy, interreligious dialogue and the Catholic identity of one of Europe’s oldest universities. On September 16, KU Leuven officially opened its 2026–2027 academic year with a Catholic Mass at St. Peter’s Church in Leuven. During the celebration, a person was filmed reciting or chanting in Arabic from the front of the church. The Flemish Catholic student organization KVHV-Leuven described the segment as “Islamic chants,” and the video quickly spread across Catholic and conservative social media, provoking criticism from Catholics who questioned why material identified as Islamic prayer was included within a Eucharistic celebration. As of September 19, KU Leuven has not published an official transcript or detailed explanation identifying the Arabic text, so reports describing it specifically as an Islamic prayer should be treated with appropriate caution …Dabalata
KATHOLISCHES EUROPA, WACHT AUF, BEVOR ES ZU SPÄT IST! | SG News Ein Video aus Belgien hat unter Katholiken eine intensive Debatte über Liturgie, interreligiösen Dialog und die katholische Identität einer der ältesten Universitäten Europas ausgelöst. Am 16. September eröffnete die KU Leuven ihr akademisches Jahr 2026/27 offiziell mit einer katholischen Messe in der St.-Peter-Kirche in Leuven. Während des Gottesdienstes wurde eine Person gefilmt, die vorne in der Kirche auf Arabisch rezitierte oder sang. Die flämische katholische Studentenorganisation KVHV-Leuven bezeichnete den Ausschnitt als „islamische Gesänge“. Das Video verbreitete sich rasch in katholischen und konservativen sozialen Medien und rief Kritik von Katholiken hervor, die hinterfragten, warum Material, das als islamisches Gebet identifiziert wurde, in eine Eucharistiefeier eingebunden war. Bis zum 19. September hat die KU Leuven weder ein offizielles Transkript noch eine detaillierte Erklärung zu dem arabischen Text …Dabalata
"God Has Become Bread" - Leo XIV Reverses Subject and Object “God has become bread” (Dio che si è fatto pane), Leo XIV said on September 5 during an audience with the Perpetual Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament. Taken literally, the words suggest the heresy of impanation: the divine Word united to bread that remains bread, somewhat analogously to the Incarnation. Catholic doctrine is transubstantiation. After consecration, the substance of bread no longer remains. It is not God who becomes bread, but bread that becomes Christ’s Body. The favorable interpretation is that Leo XIV is using devotional or metaphorical language. Benedict XVI used similar language. In 2008, he said that Christ si è fatto pane (“became bread”), and in 2005 spoke of the Host nella quale Gesù per noi si è fatto pane (“in which Jesus became bread for us”). #newsKshofksaeg
