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.

Will Your Faith Survive The Apostasy? In the first reading today, we hear the story of Elijah and Elisha, highlighting Elisha’s unwavering faith and desire to inherit a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. This spirit, associated with prophecy, prayer, and extraordinary works, is seen as a divine gift passed down through generations. A parallel is drawn between Elijah’s time and the present, urging us to remain faithful and persevere in our love for God amidst challenges and apostasy. Fr.

Historic Cathedral, Now a Parish Church, Abused for Political Dinner: On June 12 and 13, a 'Heavenly Dinner' was held in St. Andrä’s former cathedral, the historic episcopal church of the now-defunct Diocese of Lavant in Austria. Today, the Cathedral serves as a parish church. Several local restaurateurs jointly prepared the dinner, while local politicians and other guests dined inside the church. Before the meal, a table prayer was recited. As host, Dean Fr. Gerfried Sitar welcomed the guests. During the evening, the clergyman was also awarded the Gold Plaque of the City of St. Andrä.

Father Matthieu Raffray: "As a Christian, I believe that there is only one religion, one truth, and one path: Christ himself. Thus, naturally, every Christian wishes for people to turn to Christ, to get to know Jesus Christ, and for all false religions to gradually disappear.”
Père Matthieu Raffray: “En tant que chrétien, on croit qu’il n’y a qu’une seule religion, une seule vérité et un seul chemin : le Christ lui-même. Ainsi, bien sûr, chaque chrétien souhaite que les hommes se tournent vers le Christ, qu’ils apprennent à connaître Jésus-Christ et qu’ainsi toute fausse religion disparaisse progressivement.”
An Illinois judge ruled last week that the Archdiocese of Chicago may continue its lawsuit against a group of people accused of making false sexual abuse claims. The lawsuit, filed in 2025, says that more than two dozen people took part in a plan to make false abuse accusations in order to receive money from settlement payments by the archdiocese. According to court documents, the group allegedly recruited people to make claims, coached them on what to say, and shared the money received from settlements. The archdiocese says its investigation was helped by recorded prison phone calls in which the alleged scheme was discussed. The recent ruling does not decide whether the allegations are true. It only rejects efforts to dismiss the case and allows the Archdiocese's lawsuit to continue. The abuse claims involve former priest Daniel McCormack, who pleaded guilty in 2007 to several counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and has many confirmed victims. Cardinal Blase Cupich said the Church …بیہ
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 …
On Saturday, more than 1,000 Catholics took part in a Eucharistic Rosary procession through Derry in Northern Ireland. The procession was part of the first Worldwide Marian Procession, held in conjunction with around 400 parishes and 50 Marian shrines worldwide. The public prayer, which brought the streets to a standstill, was supported by Bishop Donal McKeown of Derry.
As the video on this link points out, this book is an excellent guide for converts - which I was, 25 years ago when I bought this little treasure for myself at a local Catholic bookstore. Truly, Of Mary There is NEVER ENOUGH
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.
I went to their website - heilighartbrouwerij.be/page/foto-s and I could not find any images with Bart Simpson or 666 on any of the images inside this deconsecrated church. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...............
Pope Leo XIV published today a video message for the climate World Summit in Vienna, Austria. He called for a "just transition" to new economic models, urged wealthy nations to provide greater financial support, and advocated the development of a new international financial framework. All this is presented within the façade and language of Catholic social teaching and care for creation and the poor. Three key quotes, emphasis added. - "These challenges [peace, natural resources, climate change] require international cooperation, together with cohesive and forward-looking multilateralism in order to find effective solutions." - "It is not merely desirable but also genuinely possible that the progress at COP30 [United Nations’ climate summit] can be followed up with a just transition toward societies where the common good takes precedence over profit, and economic models are rooted in solidarity and human dignity. Yet, this requires wealthier countries to meet their obligations to …بیہ
Mean while Usury never mention, fiat money creation the Vatican participates in through borrowing Rothschild money in 1800s wont admit may be we made a mistake. The Gay mafia St Gallen mafia keep gas lighting ever Catholic into believing in Rain Bow color religion is from the holy spirit. Remember the Gay gene propaganda? The eclipse is in totality but time is short The Creed of St. Athanasius Feast Day: May 2nd Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary, that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which faith, except everyone do keep entire and inviolate, without doubt he will perish everlastingly. Now the Catholic Faith is this; that we worship One God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity. Neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all One; the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal. Such as the Father is, such …بیہ
Leo XIV to the FSSPX: "Do Not Do This": On Tuesday evening in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He replied: "We have invited them, and I am still considering making another appeal, saying: 'Do not do this. Let us try to live in communion within the Church.' But it is their choice. One must realize what it means for them and for the Church. Certainly, division among Christians is always something painful. However, they refuse to accept certain fundamental elements of the Church, beginning 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”

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 …
I am saddened to read this. Our Lady of Fatima clearly stated "only I can help you." So instead of uniting their efforts to stop this "error of Russia," abortion, they fracture and draw attention away from the solution to this problem, the Five First Saturday Devotion, and the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate heart of Mary. I think this is an aspect of the "great deception," to ignore or down play the significance of Our Lady and her message today. Today the Rosary is not enough, but nobody is listening to what Our Blessed Mother of Fatima" said!
Cardinal Camillo Ruini, an influential churchmen in Italy, died in Rome on the evening of June 16 at age 95. He had been hospitalized last September with kidney problems and, after an initial recovery, saw his condition worsen in recent weeks. He chose to remain at home under medical care. Born in Sassuolo, in the province of Modena, Ruini was ordained a priest in 1954. He became auxiliary bishop of Reggio Emilia-Guastalla in 1983 and secretary-general of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI) in 1986. In 1991, Pope St. John Paul II appointed him to lead the Italian Bishops' Conference, named him Vicar General of Rome, and created him a cardinal. He held the Rome vicariate until 2008 and led the bishops’ conference until 2007. He became, for nearly two decades, one of the closest collaborators of both John Paul II and later Benedict XVI. His tenure as bishops’ president coincided with the collapse of the Democrazia Cristiana, the Christian Democratic party that had been the Church's …بیہ
When a bird found shelter in a Capuchin friar’s habit | Shalom World News Sometimes, God’s most beautiful messages arrive not through grand events, but through the quiet wonders of creation. At the Capuchin Monastery in Kottayam, Kerala, India, a land blessed by the visit of Pope St. John Paul II in 1986 and near the birthplace of St. Alphonsa, the first female saint of India, an extraordinary moment unfolded. A small bulbul bird, known for its sweet song and gentle presence, found a most unexpected shelter to begin a new life: the hood of a Capuchin friar’s habit. Fr. Jinu Mandiyil had hung his religious habit to dry. When he returned days later, he discovered a sight that filled the monastery with wonder — a tiny nest resting inside the hood, with newborn chicks waiting for their mother’s care. The friars watched with joy as the mother bird returned, feeding her little ones inside the folds of the garment dedicated to the service of God. Moved by the beauty of the moment, Fr. Jinu …بیہ
In our time, authority is deeply discredited, both in society and in the Church, whether because of excess or deficiency. This was said by Father Francisco Rivera, 46, on June 14 in an interview with VidaNuevaDigital.com. He was elected on May 20 as the new abbot of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa María de Huerta in Soria, Spain. It is one of Spain’s great monasteries and one of the most important historic houses of the Cistercian Order. Father Rivera acknowledged that the number of vocations has declined drastically: “We can blame the world, its values or lack of them, young people, social media, and so on. But I believe consecrated life must also undertake a rigorous examination of conscience. Perhaps we have become a kind of tasteless salt. And we know what the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel about that.” For the new abbot, the best vocation campaign is “to live, in our case, a serious and coherent monastic life, in fidelity to our monastic commitments and to the Rule of Saint …بیہ
