Today, Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Michael Router, 61, as Bishop of Derry, Ireland. He was ordained a priest in 1989 for the Diocese of Kilmore and has served as Auxiliary Bishop of Armagh since 2019. Francis Was "Commited to Gospel" In April 2025, Bishop Router wrote a warm statement on Francis's death. He described the late pope as a spiritual and inspirational leader who guided the faithful over twelve years with humility, compassion, and commitment to the Gospel. He also said Francis embodied simplicity and service from his earliest days as priest and bishop. Demanding Irish Houses for Immigrants On [Muslim] immigrants, in a January 2020 statement, Bishop Router urged Ireland, as the country of "a thousand welcomes," to consider with compassion its responsibility to welcome the stranger. The Irish should meet the housing needs of immigrants, he demanded. Praise For and From the Wrong Faction In January 2025, the US Episcopal woman bishop Marianne Edgar Budde attacked Donald …More

Archbishop Wrote That Leo XIV Shares Pro-Homosexual Agenda: The pro-homosexual final report of the Synod's Study Group Number 9 should not surprise anybody, because certain bishops are encouraging the homosex community, Cardinal Burke told Edward Pentin in a recent video interview. These bishops claim that the Church is changing and that the homosexuals should continue in their sinful ways. Cardinal Burke mentioned the letter from an Archbishop who claimed that "Leo XIV shared this view, because he doesn’t talk about sexual morality." For Cardinal Burke it is completely irresponsible to write something like that.
In her last ever live interview, just four hours before she was murdered, Ann Widdecombe warned of a hidden "establishment" operating behind the scenes of UK politics. Some people—including former UK PM Liz Truss—have referred to this hidden establishment as the "deep state". "I didn't always believe in that theory, but I do think now that different parts of the establishment act in ways which I think are extremely questionable."
"It is obviously possible to be fully Catholic while living the sacramental life according to the books of 1962. It is absolutely unacceptable to affirm the contrary", Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told the organisers of the Chartres pilgrimage ‘Notre-Dame de Chrétienté’ in a July 14 YouTube.com video. And: "The liturgy according to the usus antiquior of the Roman Rite is an inestimable treasure of the Church which must be preserved and cherished because it is intimately linked to the very identity of the Roman Catholic Church." Cardinal Burke argued that the Roman rite has proven to be a powerful instrument of evangelization: “It is evident that this liturgy is missionary," he said. "This is seen by its fruits today as in centuries past, because it attracts through its sense of the sacred and transcendence." He added that this is "particularly evident with the younger generation," which he said has "a profound hunger for the spiritual in an increasingly horizontal world." Vatican II …More

"It would be unfair to ask God to help me and not the other team": At a press conference on 13 July, Spain's football coach, Luis de la Fuente, said that he prays every day. He doesn't ask for victory, but thanks God for life, good health and the strength to persevere.

Two monks were traveling together when they came to a wide river. Near the water stood a beautiful woman who needed to reach the other side. The current was strong, and no matter how carefully she tried, she could not cross safely on her own. Without hesitation, one of the monks walked over, lifted her onto his shoulders, and carried her through the rushing water. Once they reached the opposite bank, he gently set her down, wished her well, and returned to his companion. The two monks continued their journey in silence. An hour passed, but the second monk grew increasingly tense. Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he said: “We took a vow not to touch women. How could you carry her on your shoulders?” The first monk stopped and looked calmly at him. “I put her down by the river an hour ago,” he replied. “Why are you still carrying her?” That is often what we do in everyday life. We continue carrying old arguments, embarrassing moments, unfair comments, regrets, resentment, and …More

Actually, this is a dry run. Tucho has proposed to change the designation of the period between Advent and Lent from "Ordinary Time" to "Fabulous Time" with rainbow rather than green chasable.
