26 neoconservative theology professors from Franciscan University of Steubenville - including Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, Michael Waldstein, Mark Miravalle, and university president Fr. Dave Pivonka - has published an open letter urging the FSSPX not to proceed with episcopal consecrations without a pontifical mandate. They represent a substantial portion of Steubenville's influential Theology Department (about 30 faculty members). The arcument is that no crisis in the Church justifies an act that would further damage the Church's visible unity with the Pope.
Open letter addressed to the SSPX leadership by nearly all the theologians of Franciscan University of Steubenville. «We write not as adversaries, but as fellow Christians who love the Church, which is built on Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and who, like you, long for the salvation of souls. Your love for the beauty of the traditional liturgy and your reverence in worship witness your earnest desire to serve the Lord. We share this love and desire.... The treasures of Catholic Tradition do not belong outside communion with Peter; they belong at the heart of the Church.»

Football Match Broadcast Inside Church. Worse than Germany: A football match between France and Norway, which France won 4–1, was broadcast inside a church in Ligny-en-Barrois, France. According to the parish, the church was used because of the heat wave, providing spectators with a cooler venue. During the event, the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, a symbol of the French Revolution, was played inside the church.

Übertragung eines Fußballspiels in einer Kirche. Noch extremer als in Deutschland: Ein Fußballspiel zwischen Frankreich und Norwegen, das Frankreich mit 4:1 gewann, wurde in einer Kirche in Ligny-en-Barrois (Frankreich) übertragen. Nach Angaben der Kirchengemeinde wurde die Kirche aufgrund der Hitzewelle genutzt, um den Zuschauern einen kühleren Veranstaltungsort zu bieten. Während der Veranstaltung erklang in der Kirche die französische Nationalhymne „La Marseillaise“, ein Symbol der Französischen Revolution.
Fr. Gerald Murray on Vatican's rejection of laypeople preaching the homily at Mass: "It's a good ruling...there's a sacred priesthood in the church, and the priesthood offers sacrifice and teaches the faithful."
The Vatican knows this is being done throughout the world. Yet no consequences. The document is nothing more than gaslighting - and this priest is smart enough to know it happens in his own Archdiocese.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller spoke at the June 26 consistory about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), IlGiornale.it reports. He addressed the FSSPX's allegations that the Vatican has deviated from the Church's magisterium. Cardinal Müller proposed preparing a response to the Fraternity that would affirm that Rome has never abandoned the path of Catholicism, contrary to their claims. He also said that, following Wednesday's episcopal consecrations, many Lefebvrists would seek to enter into full canonical communion with the Church. The Vatican should prepare to welcome them back by proposing a structure modelled on the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, which was established by Pope John Paul II in 1988. Cardinal Müller's intervention was received without comment during the session. Picture: Vatican Media, #newsVrgqbzlram

A 29-year-old monk from the independent Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue in central France, who had been missing since Tuesday evening, was found safe on Friday. The Benedictine-inspired community in Virlet, in the Puy-de-Dôme department, was formerly affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). It aligned in 2019 with the movement associated with Bishop Richard Williamson. French gendarmes launched a search operation on Wednesday morning, deploying ground teams and aerial resources to locate the missing religious. According to LaMontagne.fr, the monk was found alive and without apparent injuries near Limoges, approximately 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of the monastery. Authorities have not disclosed how the monk came to be so far from the monastery or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. They have released no information suggesting criminal involvement, nor have they indicated whether he left voluntarily or experienced a medical or psychological …'Besdal
Mainstream ignoriert Migranten-Mord an 17-Jährigem Franzosen "Ein 17-jähriger französischer Junge wurde von fünf Migranten zu Tode geprügelt, die die Tat filmten. (...) Da n Medien verbreitete Video zeigt, wie die Gruppe weiter auf Louis eintritt und ihn tritt, während sie lachen, grinsen und ihn verspotten, als er an seinem eigenen Blut erstickt. (...) Staatsanwalt Jean-Philippe Rey erklärte, die Beweise deuteten auf einen geplanten Hinterhalt hin, bei dem die Beschuldigten das Opfer an den Ort lockten. Fünf Verdächtige wurden festgenommen, des Mordes beschuldigt und in Untersuchungshaft genommen. (...) Die Geschichte wurde nicht von den etablierten Medien aufgegriffen.

The consistory that began today "feels like it was organized by a Human Resources department," one curial cardinal told the Substack.com-Account 'The Pillar' on June 26. The report relies entirely on anonymous sources. "It's all too tightly controlled. It doesn't feel like there's freedom to discuss the issues we need to discuss. Instead, we're being led by very specific questions on very specific issues in very small groups, without space for open discussion," the cardinal said. A second cardinal expressed uncertainty about the consistory's agenda: "These are surely very important societal issues and challenges, but I am not sure what we are supposed to add to the discussion beyond talking about personal experiences." He added: "I don't know what the Holy Father expects of this consistory, if I'm being honest." "There's too much control over the topics, and too much dispersion. Consistories usually focused on a single topic. How are you supposed to have a substantive discussion in a …'Besdal

A monk from the traditional Benedictine monastery of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue in Virlet, central France, has disappeared without a trace. The monk was reported missing on Wednesday morning, prompting a major search operation by the French Gendarmerie. Ground teams and aerial units have searched the area around the remote monastery, but after two days no trace of the missing religious has been found. The search for the missing monk is ongoing. Authorities have not disclosed the circumstances of the disappearance, and investigators have not indicated whether they suspect an accident, a voluntary departure, or criminal involvement. According to LaMontagne.fr, two monks cautiously suggested that the missing brother may not have left the monastery of his own accord. Notre-Dame de Bellaigue is an independent Benedictine monastery that celebrates the Mass in the Roman Rite. It maintained close ties with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) until 2019. Since then, the monastery has …'Besdal

Having accepted in 2025 bishops appointed unilaterally by China, Leo XIV should not threaten the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) with excommunication for similar actions, writes Rev Matthew Dimock, a diocesan priest of the Diocese of Charlotte on OnePeterFive.com on June 25. Rev. Dimock is NOT a defender of the FSSPX. His argument is that justice requires the Church to enforce its laws consistently, rather than making exceptions based on diplomatic or political considerations. In late April 2025, during the period between the death of Francis and the election of a new pope, the Chinese Communist Party announced the election of two bishops, an Auxiliary Bishop of Shanghai and the Bishop of Xinxiang. Shanghai already had two bishops and one auxiliary bishop. Xinxiang already had a bishop. Normally, the Vatican publicly announces bishops before their episcopal consecrations, but in these cases the announcements came only on the day of the consecration. Rev. Dimock argues that …'Besdal
As an example of how Catholic clergy were/are treated in China, the UCA (Catholic News agency in Asia) reported in 2007: “In the days before the patriotic congress, Catholic clergy in Hebei province – were pressured by the government to attend the congress." Bishop Li disappeared after the army forced him to illicitly ordain a bishop. People believed Li was embarrassed to show his face to the faithful for what happened and hid himself in the Cathedral in Cangzhou. After a few weeks, police officers and other people went to the cathedral and gave the resident priests there an “ultimatum” to hand over the bishop, UCA News reported. The diocesan Vicar General, Chancellor and two other priests who work at Bishop Li’s house were taken away, detained, and questioned for information on the bishop’s whereabouts. They were warned that if the bishop could not be found, his family and the diocese would face trouble. The officials questioned everybody in the house, including the doorkeepers and …'Besdal
Zac Davis, associate editor of the Jesuits' America magazine, criticized the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after Eucharists on X.com: "I cannot express how much I dislike the St. Michael Prayer after Mass." He argued its language "breeds a sense of paranoia and cynicism" and that it "does not belong in the liturgy." Composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1884, the prayer was recited after Low Masses until the post-Vatican II reforms and has recently been reintroduced after Eucharists in many U.S. dioceses.
Thu Jun 25, 2026 - 2:28 pm EDTThu Jun 25, 2026 - 8:18 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The associate editor of the heterodox Jesuit-run America magazine expressed his revulsion toward the recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after Mass in a Wednesday social media post. Zac Davis, who is also co-host of the “Jesuitical” podcast, wrote on X, “I cannot express how much I dislike the St. Michael Prayer after Mass. It is so, so jarring to me every time.” “To say nothing of the intent/content of the prayer, the language, and repetition and prominence given to it breed a sense of paranoia and cynicism. Instead of going out to evangelize the world, everyone is ready to go to war with it,” he wrote, replying to a Jesuit praising the recitation of the prayer after Mass. Against Davis’ last point, John Monaco pointed out that evangelization of the world and going to war with it “aren’t mutually exclusive.” Davis went on to share his belief that the St. Michael Prayer is acceptable …
Any attack from the side of the post-conciliar sect on the Catholic Faith or piety should be answered. With prayer, denouncement and Catholic truth. Enough is enough. Let all those Fernandezes, Davises and other Judases know - time of lukewarmness tolerating sacrilege and desecration in the name of human respect or wordly-ungodly peace has ended. Holy indignation should replace it. The Church of Laodicea must become the Church of Philadelphia to face the Church of Sardes.
How a headmaster invokes Greek wisdom to empower youth in Northern Ireland | Witness Documentary School headmaster Kevin McArevey is a maverick determined to change the fortunes of an inner-city community plagued by urban decay, sectarian aggression, poverty and drugs. The all-boys primary school in post-conflict Belfast, Northern Ireland, becomes a hothouse for thinking and questioning, as the headmaster encourages children to see beyond the boundaries and limitations of their community, and sends his young wards home each day armed with the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers. The boys challenge their school friends, parents and neighbours to find alternatives to violence and prejudice, and to question the mythologies of war.

Cardinal at Wrong Microphone: A lighthearted moment opened the Extraordinary Consistory as Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals, walked toward the wrong microphone. Smiling, Pope Leo XIV quipped, "In front of everyone, Your Eminence!" before the 92-year-old Cardinal crossed the hall to the correct microphone and delivered his address.
