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.

Here's what will happen at next week's Vatican Consistory

VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Details of the upcoming consistory reveal that just around two hours are outlined for the customary free discussion between cardinals and the Pope, whilst strict confidentiality and media silence is ordered on the participants.
In an exclusive published by reliably-sourced outlet Messa in Latino on Wednesday morning, more precise details about next week’s Extraordinary Consistory were provided. A letter sent to the cardinals was published, containing both the daily itinerary and formal instructions for the cardinals to adhere to.
Running chiefly on June 26 and 27, the consistory also includes the June 29 Mass marking the feast of Saints Peter and Paul.

St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto has gone full pride

St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto has gone totally pride. From flying the pride flag to rainbow sidewalks to the Drag Show. "Display your pride." It's all about pride in pride.
In 2024, in a letter to a Toronto city councillor the St. Michael's President David G. Sylvester writes:
The St. Michael’s College Student Union (SMCSU) has requested that a Pride crosswalk with rainbow colours be painted between the John M. Kelly Library and Elmsley Place on St. Joseph Street. The University of St. Michael’s College administration and I enthusiastically support this proposal and commit to the costs associated with the project, as outlined to us, on the University’s behalf.
St. Michael’s is a place that welcomes and celebrates the infinite God-given dignity of those who identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. From its Inclusiveness Policy, to its Strategic Plan, to the installation of the Progress Pride Flag on the John M. Kelly Library last summer, St. Michael’s …

« Marie désire ardemment que nous l’invoquions afin de pouvoir nous accorder ses faveurs en abondance. Cela est si vrai qu’elle s’offusque non seulement de ceux qui parlent mal d’elle, mais aussi de ceux qui négligent de lui demander ses grâces. »
Saint Bonaventure

In impromptu declarations to the press, yesterday (June 16, 2026):
“I am considering making another appeal and saying ‘don't do this, let's try to live the communion of the Church.’ But it is their choice.
We must realize what it means for them and for the Church. Certainly, the division among Christians is a painful point.
However, they refuse to accept some fundamental elements of the Church, starting with several points of the Second Vatican Council. If they make that choice, I am sorry. But we must move forward”

Il Pontefice annuncia pure che verrà esteso un altro appello ai lefebvriani: “La divisione nella Chiesa è sempre un dolore”

More than six decades after Archbishop Josef Karel Matocha died under communist internment, a Czech court has formally recognized his imprisonment as unlawful.

Czech Court Clears Archbishop Persecuted by …
Bohumil Petrík/EWTN NewsWorldJune 15, 2026
The district court in Olomouc, Czech Republic, has rehabilitated Josef Karel Matocha, the city’s former archbishop, recognizing his internment under the communist regime as unlawful more than six decades after his death.
The court’s decision, based on the Judicial Rehabilitation Act, confirms that the prelate was a victim of unlawful deprivation of liberty in the 1950s by the communist regime in what was then Czechoslovakia. He was not formally convicted, yet he was forced to remain in the archbishop’s palace under surveillance by the State Security, and this was recognized as imprisonment.
The current archbishop of Olomouc, Josef Nuzík, said he is “very happy that after so many years we have managed to complete this procedural step and achieve justice” in civil law as well.
Matocha is “constantly present in our palace and in the hearts of believers,” and guests “are often moved when they …More

‘Sanctus Infans’ Holy Rosary Devotion - Pax Orbis

The Rosary as a Spiritual Weapon
Just as Our Lady of Lepanto delivered Christendom from physical destruction, the
Holy Rosary remains one of our most powerful spiritual weapons against the culture of death, especially the evil of abortion.
by Lyn Wade
Each time we pray the angelic salutation of the Hail Mary, we not only honour the Mother of God, but also adore the blessed fruit of her womb: Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, who sanctified the unborn by taking flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
Our Response to a Spiritual Battle
To confront the evil of abortion, which is deeply entrenched in our society, Catholics cannot rely on secular or political strategies alone. While pro-life rallies and sidewalk counselling have their place, this is ultimately a spiritual battle.
For this reason, we must turn with confidence to the enduring power of this Marian devotion: the Holy Rosary. The true battlefront is spiritual, and it is fought on our knees through prayer, sacrifice and …

Protestant Prayer and the Catholic Mass as “Different Pathways to God”: “Catholic” U.S. Vice President JD Vance appeared to relativize the Catholic Church and the Eucharist during a June 16 interview on Fox & Friends. Speaking about what he called the strength of “the American church,” Vance emphasized the diversity of [contradicting] Christian denominations: “You can't be an American Catholic or an American Pentecostal or an American Southern Baptist without running into someone who has a slightly different perspective on faith.” He added: “It's all about Jesus.” Vance sees "different ways" by which people find God: “Different ways, sometimes with 'snake handlers' [evangelicals in Kentucky], sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass, but I think all these pathways really matter and they're part of the reason why we do find our path to God.”

JD Vance: "One of the things I love about the American church is there are all of these different pathways to God ... sometimes with snake handlers, sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass. But I think all of these pathways really matter."

"Devil" Beer Tap in Belgian Confessional: A deconsecrated church built in 1878 in Antwerp, Belgium, has served as a foyer for Theater Elckerlyc since 2025. One confessional now contains a token machine, while another has been fitted with a self-service Duvel 6.66% beer tap. "Duvel" is Dutch for "devil" and is also the name of a Belgian beer brand. An earlier report claimed the diocese had approved the concept, but the article was corrected on 10 June: the diocese says it was not involved in the redevelopment.

Devil installed in confessional with Church's blessing

Duvel - Flemish dialect word for Devil - beer vending machine in confessional in Antwerp: “The diocese even thought it was a good idea”
Antwerp “Is this really how we treat our ecclesiastical heritage?” Outrage has arisen on social media regarding two confessionals in the former Church of Our Lady of Grace on Frankrijklei, which has served as the foyer of Theater Elckerlyc since last year. You can no longer go there to confess your sins, but you can to buy tokens or tap a Duvel 6.66%.
Although both confessionals have been part of the foyer for more than a year, a new debate arose this week after a theatergoer shared a photo of the token vending machine in a confessional on Facebook. The person in question criticized the way religious heritage is being handled. The numerous responses show that the repurposing of ecclesiastical elements remains a sensitive subject for some people, even though the Church of Our Lady of Grace has been deconsecrated for quite some time and the building now …

Vance Criticizes Vatican Over Immigration in New Memoir

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has launched a scathing critique of the Vatican’s diplomatic leadership, accusing high-ranking officials of offering “trite platitudes” instead of moral clarity.
In his newly released memoir,
Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, Vance details a tense encounter with the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The confrontation, which took place in April 2025, centered on the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies. Vance, a high-profile Catholic convert, writes that he was “unsettled” by the Church’s refusal to endorse a nation’s right to secure its borders, describing the experience as a turning point in his relationship with the institutional Church.
The dispute highlights a fundamental ideological rift between the current U.S. administration and the Holy See under Pope Francis. While the Vatican has consistently championed the rights of migrants and the moral obligation of wealthy nations to provide sanctuary, Vance …
