European bishops sidestep ‘Traditionis Custodes’, continuing traditional Latin Masses in parish churches without Vatican dispensation. Last week, the Dicastery for Divine Worship published all its decrees from 2025, including permissions for the 1962 Roman Missal in parish churches. The list shows permissions for 55 parishes in 33 dioceses. 41 of the parish-church locations in the 2025 decrees are in the United States - about 75%. France is conspicuously absent from the 2025 index despite its importance among Catholics. No parish church in Paris appears among the Dicastery’s published dispensations in 2023, 2024 or 2025. Obviously, there are Masses. In the Paris parish of Saint-Eugène–Sainte-Cécile, the old Mass has been celebrated since the 1980s and remains part of the daily and Sunday schedule. Sainte-Odile also lists a Sunday Mass in the 1962 rite. Another example is London, England. No dispensation for a London parish church appears in the Dicastery’s published indexes for 2023,…ਹੋਰ
NOVENA TO PADRE PIO OF PIETRELCINA. Dear God, Thou hast generously blessed Thy servant, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit. Thou hast marked his body with the five wounds of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness to the saving Passion and Death of Thy Son.

Marko Rupnik’s new monumental mosaic façade was inaugurated (!) at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida in Brazil. Yesterday evening, the shrine unveiled the basilica’s 4,000-square-metre west façade. The project began in 2019 and continued after allegations of sexual and psychological abuse against Rupnik became public. The north façade was inaugurated in 2022, the south in 2024 and the east in 2025. Meanwhile, the sanctuary of Lourdes in France has covered Rupnik’s mosaics, citing consideration for victims of abuse.
Last night in Aparecida, Brazil, the final monumental mosaic façade created by the Centro Aletti — founded by Marko Rupnik — was officially inaugurated. While Rupnik’s mosaics are being covered in Lourdes, his artistic legacy is being unveiled on a monumental scale in Brazil.
A fascinating and disturbing article: “Making All Religions One.” The article traces the rise of modern ecumenism and argues that the movement was not simply a spontaneous theological development, but was also influenced by powerful American foundations, political interests, and even the psychological-warfare apparatus of the U.S. national-security establishment. One of the most intriguing figures is Henry Kissinger, who in the 1950s was involved in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Special Studies Project, where Jesuit theologian John Courtney Murray was brought into discussions concerning America’s future. Murray had previously been censured by Rome (good Catholic popes), yet later became an important theological influence at the Second Vatican Council. The article then follows Murray’s remarkable transition from being silenced by Rome to becoming one of the influential voices in the development of Dignitatis Humanae. It also points to the young Karol Wojtyła, as another important …ਹੋਰ
Peru tributes Leo XIV with the largest statue in the world. Standing 14 meters tall, the monument will rise in a seafront park in Callao overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The privately funded monument is expected to be installed ahead of the pope’s November visit to Peru. #newsMmvrjnktky
Bishop Strickland about Vatican 2 and Bishop Lefebvre “GO AND REPAIR MY HOUSE, WHICH, AS YOU SEE, IS FALLING INTO RUIN” Dear Sons and Daughters in Christ, I know that some of you believe I have changed. Some fear that I have crossed over to “the other side.” Some wonder whether, after years of speaking plainly and courageously about the crisis in the Church, defending the traditional Roman liturgy, questioning what was done in the name of the Second Vatican Council, and speaking openly about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, I am now retreating from those convictions. Some of you may even feel betrayed. So before I say anything else, I want to say this plainly: I have not moved. The words Christ spoke to St. Francis at San Damiano – “Go and repair my house, which, as you see, is falling into ruin” – have weighed heavily upon my heart. I have not forgotten what happened to the Church. I have not forgotten what happened to the sacred liturgy, to Catholic catechesis, to religious life, to priestly …ਹੋਰ
Bishop Strickland "There is a phrase Catholics have heard for more than sixty years. “Vatican II changed that.” Why don’t we hear Latin anymore? Vatican II. Why did the Mass change? Vatican II. Why did Gregorian chant disappear from so many Catholic churches? Vatican II. Why did practices surrounding Holy Communion change? Vatican II. Why did sanctuaries change? Vatican II. Why did so many customs Catholics had known for generations suddenly disappear? Again and again, the answer was simply, “Vatican II.” Those two words became an explanation for almost everything that happened in Catholic life in the years following the Council. But lately I have been wondering whether that explanation is the right one. Not because Vatican II called for no change. It certainly did. But because when we actually sit down and read the documents of the Council, something interesting begins to happen. We discover that some things commonly attributed to Vatican II are not actually in Vatican II. Other things …ਹੋਰ
“…the devil, as much as I may find him quite likeable—and he’s certainly not as bad as people make him out to be… perhaps he adds a little spice to people’s lives…” - Fr. Agnello Stoia, Conventual Franciscan and parish priest of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, speaking in this undated video.

The Infinite Ocean I remember when I was in highschool, the school took us to a catholic retreat, the confessional was open and it was my turn, an old priest was waiting, I sat down and pour my sins in the open, that confession was like any other... Repeat offender? Yeah, Did I want to get better? Sure, but the only thing I remember about this particular confession was what happened at the end... The priest took his hand and put it exactly where my heart is and said to me: "Remember this, Jesus loves you, He loves you." My heart started to burn, literally... The sensation or the feel of this fire burning my heart from the inside out was surprising yes, ethereal and magnific... There and then I knew Love. This actually happened to me, such an unworthy human being, no humility, no holiness, no nothing just a sad clown looking to roll with the world, while my Lord waited and waited and waited and still... waits on me, this sack of unworthiness, I wish the Love I was shown in my heart would've …ਹੋਰ
Leo XIV Approves Maronite Archbishop of Damascus Today, Pope Leo XIV has approved the election of Sharbel Ghattas Maroun as the new Maronite Catholic archbishop of Damascus. A Lebanese-born priest, he has spent much of his ministry in the United States. Archbishop Maroun, 64, was elected by the Synod of Bishops of the Maronite Church. He succeeds Archbishop Samir Nassar, 76, whose resignation was accepted by the synod. Since 2020, Maroun has served as protosyncellus, a senior position comparable to vicar general, of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles.

Leo XIV’s Prayer Intention Is … for the Care of Water: In September 2026, Leo XIV invites Catholics around the world to pray for the care of water. In his monthly prayer intention, he reminds Christians that access to clean water should be a right. “We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders.” He encourages Christians to reject waste and pollution and to use natural resources responsibly. Caring for water, he says, is both an expression of love for creation and an act of solidarity with the poor.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. May your Spirit make us pilgrims of the essential, able to live with simplicity, denouncing waste and pollution, defending the right of every brother and sister to drink without fear and without inequality. May our care for water, be a sign of love for the Creator, and a commitment to the lives of …ਹੋਰ

Chiara Corbella war eine der sechzehn italienischen Frauen, die Giorgia Meloni in ihrer Antrittsrede vom 25.
