The encyclical Magnifica Humanitas is internally inconsistent in its treatment of just war theory. That writes Manfred Spieker, emeritus professor of Christian Social Sciences, on Herder.de on June 16. While he generally praises Leo XIV’s reflections on artificial intelligence, he challenges the encyclical’s call to “overcome” the traditional doctrine of just war. Magnifica Humanitas, drawing on Fratelli Tutti, offers two reasons for moving beyond just war theory: first, that nearly every war in recent decades has been presented as justified, and second, that modern weapons make war an unacceptable solution. Spieker finds neither argument convincing. Regarding the first, he writes: “If everyone who wages a war appeals to this doctrine, it remains necessary to examine who is justified in doing so and who is not.” He adds: “Those who falsely invoke this doctrine will face criticism or rejection. But that does not make the doctrine of just war obsolete.” Nor do modern weapons invalidate …More
18.06.2026 Archbishop Lefebvre did not know before he was excommunicated by Cardinal Ratzinger, that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II, refer to invisible cases and so were not explicit exceptions for Tradition ( EENS, Syllabus etc).Vatican Council II was tradition. Let this sink in. Lefebvre did not know that Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism for salvation) was aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442.It did not mention any exception. While unknown cases of LG 8, 14, 16 etc, were not objective exceptions for AG 7 or EENS. The Council does not contradict an ecumenism of return of the Syllabus of Pius IX and the teaching on outside the Church there is no salvation, in the Catechism of Pope Pius X. Even Bishops Alfonso de Galaretta and Bishop Bernard Fellay when they were excommunicated the first time, along with Lefebvre, did not seem to know about this. They are not talking about this point as they prepare …More
'I am for eternal Rome, the Rome of Saints Peter and Paul. I do not follow Masonic Rome.' Editor’s note: Bishop Salvador L. Lazo, DD was born in Santo Niño, Cagayan in the Philippines in 1918. An accomplished and high-ranking clergyman who held many prominent positions in his native land before and after Vatican II, His Excellency realized later in life the true nature of the Second Vatican Council. On Ascension Thursday in 1998, two years before his death, His Excellency issued a public statement rebuking that event. He also expressed his deep admiration for Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Below is Bishop Lazo’s last testament, which is taken from the SSPX’s Asia website. His Excellency spent several years getting to know the priests and bishops of the Society before his passing. We believe his declaration is a document of historical importance. Bishop Salvador Lazo (1918-2000) To His Holiness POPE JOHN PAUL II Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Prince of …More
Authored by Luke Nelson and Mike Campbell via The Epoch Times, In debating a social media ban for minors, it appears we face a choice between two perceived harms. One is the reported damage that social media is doing to the mental health of children and adolescents. The other is the normalization of mass age verification systems—most likely involving biometrics—that would apply to everyone, not just minors. This carries real risks of privacy invasion, data breaches, and future mission creep. There is little dispute that many Western countries have experienced a rise in youth mental health problems beginning around 2010–2012 (when Smartphones and social media exploded). Anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide rates among adolescents, particularly girls, have increased dramatically since this period. There is disagreement, however, not over whether these spikes exist, but whether they can be attributed specifically to social media. The lingering effects of the pandemic and …

Garabandal Film - Second Message June 18th, 1965 Mary's last formal message at Garabandal which says: Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the "road to perdition."
Garabandal Film - Second Message June 18th, 1965 Mary's last formal message at Garabandal which says: Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the "road to perdition." From Saint Joseph Publications - Books, and Manuscripts of the Apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Garabandal Our Lady's Message of June 18, 1965 Since my message of October 18, 1961 has not been complied with and has not been made much known to the world, I will tell you that this is the last one. Before the chalice was filling now it is overflowing. Many Cardinals, many Bishops, and many Priests are on the path of perdition and they take many souls with them. To the Eucharist, there is given less and less importance. We should avoid the wrath of God on us by our good efforts. If you ask pardon with your sincere soul God will pardon you. It is I, your mother, who through the intercession of St. Michael, wish to say that you amend, that you are already in the last warnings and that I love you much and do not …More
World Cup Viewing Inside a Madrid Church: The church of San Antón in Madrid has started showing Spain’s World Cup matches inside the church, with TV screens set up among the pews so that visitors and parishioners can watch the games.

La iglesia de San Antón, en Madrid, se ha convertido en una sala de televisión para seguir el Mundial. Impulsada por el Padre Ángel, la iniciativa retransmite los partidos de España dentro del templo y continuará mientras la selección siga en el torneo.
This month, the #WeCount project by the Society of Family Planning released final abortion estimates for calendar year 2025. Unfortunately, the news is not particularly good for pro-lifers. The Society of Family Planning estimates that 1,126,760 abortions took place in calendar year 2025. This represents a 1.6 percent increase from 2024. Overall, the Society of Family Planning numbers are broadly consistent with the abortion estimates that have been released by the Guttmacher Institute. Unsurprisingly, the #WeCount figures show that telehealth abortions are playing a large role in this abortion increase. REACH PRO-LIFE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE! Advertise with LifeNews to reach hundreds of thousands of pro-life readers every week. Contact us today. Overall, in calendar year 2025, 28 percent of all abortions took place by telehealth.

Consistory Run Like the Synod: Only two hours are reserved for open interventions during the Consistory on 26–27 June. The majority of the meeting is structured around small-group discussions. The cardinals are divided into 20 groups, each of which prepares a written report. Only nine groups are scheduled to present their reports in the plenary session. Discussion of the Just War doctrine was anticipated based on earlier Vatican communications, but it is absent from the final agenda. Cardinals can communicate directly with Leo XIV via an email address provided for this purpose.
