Cardinal Raymond Burke argued that ‘ordaining bishops without a papal mandate will incur’ an automatic ‘excommunication, and that will have to be published by the Holy See.’
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Raymond Burke has given his assessment of the recent Extraordinary Consistory along with the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X, noting some remaining concerns about the consistory format, while lamenting the planed consecrations. Speaking with Per Mariam following the recent consistory, Cdl. Burke offered a summary of the event which drew just under 180 cardinals to Rome for the second such meeting of Leo XIV’s pontificate. As many have similarly done, Burke welcomed the return of consistory’s to the Vatican’s regular life, since it offers a chance to “discuss important questions with regard to the Church.” But he also raised his concerns about the small table “synodal” group method which has largely replaced the traditional open discussion. As for synodality itself, on which the cardinals were briefed during Saturday’s meeting, the American prelate said that it “remains unresolved.” “There really needs to be a …
"This is the rotten comedy of the age." Occult mockery at its finest! And to say," They refuse certain fundamental elements of the Church, beginning with several points of the Second Vatican Council." Is an outright lie! And also the writer says, " The SSPX profession says exactly that." I didn't read that in the profession so I think the writer is way off base making that assertion. V2 isn't the problem or nexus. It is the errors of Russia, and Archbishop Lefebvre knew that!
"Our august Lady replied: ‘‘The great God comes not into the world to find riches, for He needs them not; for them would He not descend from heaven. He comes on earth only to repair the disorders of the world, and by sure ways to conduct it to eternal life; and these ways are none other than humility and poverty."
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; born/died: Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] St. Joseph never saw his holy spouse asleep. He did not know, from his own experience, whether she slept at all. Her place of rest was the little bed made by the saint. It had . two coverings, between which she was accustomed to place herself to take a brief and light repose. The under garment of the august Mary was a tunic or chemise, but little softer than woolen stuff. She never left it off, except when it was worn, nor soiled it, and no one in the world saw it, not even St. Joseph. In all her works, and in whatever she did for St. Joseph, the greatest cleanliness was observed. Before St. Joseph was informed of the mystery of the Incarnation, our blessed Lady, at certain times when he was not occupied, used to read to him from the Holy Scriptures, particularly from David and the Prophets. She explained them like an experienced instructress, and her holy spouse questioned her on many …More
Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ - July 1 Memorial 1 July formerly 1st Sunday in July Friday after the fourth Sunday of Lent on some calendars Article Celebrates the Blood of Our Saviour, shed for the redemption of mankind, mentioned repeatedly in the New Testament. Since the Council of Trenttheologians generally hold that it was an essential part of the Sacred Humanity and consequently hypostatically united to the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and therefore an object of adoration. Although special honour was bestowed upon it by the Apostles and Fathers and many saints, yet a feast in its honour was not celebrated till the beginning of the 19th century, when SaintGaspare del Bufalo obtained permission to have it celebrated in the Missionary Society of the Precious Blood. PopeBlessedPius IX extended the feast to the entire Church in 1849. There has been an arch-confraternity of the Precious Blood since 1815.

God Wastes Nothing In Your Life St. Paul’s conversion story highlights God’s plan for each individual, even before birth. God allowed Paul to persecute the Church to humble him and prepare him for his mission to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. This demonstrates that God uses all experiences, even past sins, for the greater good. Fr.

– Folha de S. Paulo, November 20, 1968 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira During my visit to Rome in 1962, I sensed a mood of open optimism among influential and high-ranking circles about events beyond the Iron Curtain. The main reasons for this optimism were the start of the “softening” of the communist regime taking hold in Russia and Wladislaw Gomulka’s actions in Poland, which were seen as original, astute, and patriotic. In my previous article, I discussed the key features of Russia’s communist “softening” (political disintegration of the bloc of nations under Russian control, decentralization of large administrative structures within Russia, “restoration” of capitalism and property, etc.), which was widely promoted by Soviet propaganda. I also outlined the significant — if not monstrous — benefits that communists have gained from this on the international stage. This week’s telegraphic news prompts me to comment on Władysław Gomulka. To understand this communist leader’s …More
What an awful story. "I am not Christian, but I am going to tell Christians how to be!" I hope that it turns out better for the sake of the souls concerned and for their family life.
"The Fatima Center’s own Fr. Nicholas Gruner (1942—2015) said in the interview-article The new Pope, the Church, and the Consecration (Fatima Crusader, Issue 105, Spring 2013) that Communism is “not the only error of Russia. Zionism is an error of Russia”.
Tue Jun 30, 2026 - 5:16 am EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo has made a public appeal to the head of the traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) not to carry out the episcopal consecrations planned for tomorrow, July 1. This morning, June 30, Pope Leo released a letter to Father Davide Pagliarani, the current head of the SSPX, his bishops, priests and seminarians, as well as the lay faithful “connected” to the Society, warning that the consecrations would be a “schismatic act.” [Full letter printed below.] “I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: please turn back!” the Pontiff wrote. “I urge you to consider carefully the spiritual good of the faithful, because the schismatic act you are about to undertake would deprive them of the licit and, in some cases, even valid reception of the Sacraments, which they love and seek for their sanctification.” LETTER OF POPE LEO XIV TO THE REVEREND DAVIDE PAGLIARANI SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE PRIESTLY FRATERNITY OF SAINT PIUS X …
Third possibility: How could the cardinals of the 1958 conclave accept without protest the resignation of Pius XII's successor half an hour after he had accepted the office? We can conjecture that the manoeuvres of a few traitors consisted of: 1- persuading the new Pope to resign for the good of the Church or for some other cause; 2- ensuring that the new Pope in turn persuaded the cardinals that it was legitimate for him to resign for the same reasons; 3- ensuring that no coercion was apparent so that everyone would believe that this resignation was made freely.

Friday, 4th July 1913 Lee’s Attorney Seeks to Gain His Release Friday, July 4, 1913 It was reported Thursday morning that Bernard L. Chappell, attorney for New [sic] Lee, the negro watchman held in connection with the Mary Phagan case, would take steps to release him from jail by swearing out a writ of habeas corpus.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 8,28-34. When Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?" Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding. The demons pleaded with him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine." And he said to them, "Go then!" They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned. The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district. angelyelina
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Matthäus - Mt 8,28-34. In jener Zeit, als Jesus an das andere Ufer kam, in das Gebiet der Gadarener, liefen ihm aus den Grabhöhlen zwei Besessene entgegen. Sie waren so gefährlich, dass niemand auf jenem Weg entlanggehen konnte. Und siehe, sie schrien: Was haben wir mit dir zu tun, Sohn Gottes? Bist du hierhergekommen, um uns vor der Zeit zu quälen? In einiger Entfernung weidete eine große Schweineherde. Da baten ihn die Dämonen: Wenn du uns austreibst, dann schick uns in die Schweineherde! Und er sagte zu ihnen: Weg mit euch! Die aber fuhren aus und in die Schweine hinein. Und siehe, die ganze Herde stürmte den Abhang hinab in den See und kam in den Fluten um. Die Hirten aber flohen, liefen in die Stadt und erzählten alles, auch das, was mit den Besessenen geschehen war. Und siehe, die ganze Stadt zog hinaus, um Jesus zu begegnen; als sie ihn sahen, baten sie ihn, ihr Gebiet zu verlassen.
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Lucio Adrián Ruiz, 61, as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. Until now, Ruiz has served as Secretary of the Dicastery for Communication and will assume his new office on 1 September 2026. Leo XIV also appointed Massimo Ralli as Under-Secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. The transfer of Msgr. Ruiz to “Charity” clears the number-two post at the Dicastery for Communication ahead of the newly appointed female prefect - the divorced and annulled - Montse Alvarado (“It is wrong to Christianise Jews”).
