Today, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Gerard Nash, 67, as Bishop of Ossory while he remains also Bishop of Ferns. The pope united two neighboring Irish dioceses in persona episcopi. Under this arrangement, both dioceses retain for now their separate legal identities but are entrusted to the same bishop. Bishop Nash has led the Diocese of Ferns since 2021 and has served as Apostolic Administrator of Ossory since January 2026. Together, the two dioceses serve less than 200,000 Catholics. The appointment marks another step in the ongoing restructuring of the shrinking Church in Ireland. The policy of diocesan consolidation is clearly expanding beyond western Ireland While three previous in persona episcopi unions took place within the Ecclesiastical Province of Tuam in western Ireland, the union of Ferns and Ossory is the first outside that province.

„Homosexuálne činy sú v Božích očiach obzvlášť odporné“: 94-ročný hongkonský kardinál Joseph Zen napísal 27. júla na svojom blogu o zlých silách, ktoré nás pokúšajú, vrátane telesných sklonov. „Samozrejme, etika a morálka sa netýkajú len šiesteho a deviateho prikázania, ale práve na hriechy tohto druhu sa najľahšie stane človek závislým. Obzvlášť tie hriechy LGBTQ – tie úplne porušujú Stvoriteľov plán pre ľudstvo.“ Kardinál Zen dodal, že homosexuálne činy sú „v Biblii nielen označené za hriech, ale sú v Božích očiach ohavnosťou (obzvlášť odpornou)“. Píše tiež: „Milosrdný Boh tiež zoslal oheň, aby zničil Sodomu.“
Vatican Bank boosts Pope's share as profits climb to €51m: The Vatican Bank increased the share of its economic value distributed to the Pope while posting a €51 million net profit, according to its July Sustainability Report.

Our Anglican "brethren" at Wells Cathedral (which was Catholic until the time of Henry VIII) have decided to stage an exhibition of "Mythical Creatures," based on a 17th-century book held in their library. Particularly striking is a fifteen-meter-long dragon—sporting rainbow colors—that soars above the few elderly congregants, baring its menacing claws at them. It serves as a true parable of what awaits us Catholics if we remain passive in the face of the brazen advance of the hierarchical "Pink Lobby." (It is astonishing to see the degree of confusion among some of the faithful—such as the person who wrote on a tag: "Dear dragon: always be kind and generous to entire human kind." As if we didn't know what the dragon symbolizes!) Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com
A 31-year-old Polish man, identified by regional media as Bartłomiej Włodzimierz Krakowiak, has been arrested for vandalizing the Marian shrine of Medjugorje during the night of 27–28 July, just days before Mladifest, which is expected to attract around 50,000 young pilgrims. "Medjugorje Is a Deception" The suspect allegedly poured black paint over statues of the Virgin Mary on Apparition Hill and at the Blue Cross, wrote "Devil in a skirt" on one statue. He hung banners accusing the six visionaries of being "frauds - I have proof", spray-painted slogans including "Medjugorje is a deception," "Only Jesus," and "Mary = devil," and set fire to the recently renovated outdoor altar behind St. James Church. He was arrested hours later in Černo, near Ljubuški, heading toward the Croatian border. Former Pilgrim The case is particularly striking because the suspect had previously visited Medjugorje as a pilgrim. Regional media report that in 2017 he walked 1,300 km from Warsaw to the shrine, …Bontsi
Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington D.C. authorised monthly lay "commentary" during the Eucharist at the Jesuit parish of Holy Trinity in Georgetown, according to BigModernism.Substack.com (July 28). The blog published a letter dated 4 February 2026 and signed by Fr James Casciotti, SJ. The letter responds to concerns raised by a correspondent about the parish's liturgical practices. Fr Casciotti addresses several issues, including chatting until just before the Eucharist. The key passage states: "You should know that the Cardinal has given permission for lay commentary once a month at Holy Trinity [...]". The letter does not identify the cardinal by name. In February 2026, Cardinal Robert McElroy was Archbishop of Washington, having been appointed in January 2025 and installed in March 2025. Separately, the blog cites a firsthand account from a reader alleging that the practice involved a woman delivering what functioned as the homily during Mass under the name "commentary."

Pro-homosexual Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, defended "our Muslim neighbors' right to worship" in a July 27 statement. He had heard in recent weeks concerns from some residents regarding the proposal to build a mosque and community center in Albuquerque's North Valley. "Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own. Defending that right is not only a civic duty but a core element of Catholic teaching", the Archbishop wrote. According to Monsignor Wester, supporting the construction of a mosque is entirely consistent with Catholic tradition and moral commitments. He urged Catholics to "choose respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence." In 2025, it emerged that, Archbishop Wester promoted and lived with a priest who had spent ten years in a registered homosexual relationship. Picture: AI, #newsXofkbkkgnx

(LifeSiteNews) Under Fauci’s leadership, the NIAID approved funding for horrific experiments that involved grafting aborted babies’ scalps onto the backs of lab rats, pro-lifer David Daleiden noted. Just hours before Dr. Anthony Fauci is to appear before a Senate hearing chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, pro-life hero David Daleiden took to social media to highlight the link between the former COVID chief and a horrifying study sponsored by his NIH agency — the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — in which aborted baby scalps were grafted onto lab rats. “Dr. Fauci copied a cover-up headline into his diary disputing his role in a study that grafted 5-month aborted baby scalps onto lab rats,” noted Daleiden, yet, “3 weeks earlier, Fauci swore to Congress his NIAID funded the study ‘with the appropriate oversight and guidelines.'” “You can actually see the photographs in the published study of little baby scalps grafted onto the backs of lab rats growing little baby …Bontsi
Berlin’s homosex march 'Christopher Street Day' is a “joyful and moving celebration.” That is what pro-homosexual Archbishop Heiner Koch of Berlin told KNA on Sunday. He spoke after an attack on the march on Saturday evening. One woman was killed, and at least 31 others were injured, some of them seriously. The attacker, Abdul B., 21, drove a car into the crowd and was later - conveniently for the justice system and politicians - shot dead during a police operation. The full context of Archbishop Koch's statement is: "How terrible! To brutally destroy such a joyful and moving celebration. We keep all the victims, their families, friends, and everyone whose joy has been taken away by hatred in our prayers. Hatred must not prevail." Abdul B. was born in Berlin in 2005 and grew up there. His parents are from Lebanon, and he held German citizenship. His family belongs to a large extended clan. He had been known to the security authorities for years and was considered part of the Islamist …Bontsi

New Zealand to Build First New Cathedral in Over 120 Years: The Diocese of Christchurch has unveiled the design for the new Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, which will stand on the site of the original cathedral destroyed after the devastating Canterbury earthquakes (2010-2011). The new cathedral will preserve historic stained-glass windows. It's a roughly $80 million New Zealand dollar project (about US$46m). The diocese is currently in a fundraising phase. Partner is the architecture firm Warren and Mahoney. The style is "an ancient design, a Romanesque and Gothic hybrid model".
