New FSSPX Chapel in Poland: On August 1, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) blessed a new chapel in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The previous chapel had become too small for the growing congregation. The FSSPX has maintained an apostolate in Poland's Kuyavian-Pomeranian region for more than 20 years. According to PiusX.org.pl, by April 30, 2026, a fundraising campaign for the new chapel had raised 306,595.86 PLN (about €71,000). The chapel was not newly built, but created by adapting existing premises over several weeks, including the sanctuary, sacristy, altar, and liturgical furnishings.
Une nouvelle chapelle de la FSSPX a été bénie le 1er août à Bydgoszcz. Depuis l’ouverture de la précédente chapelle en 2022, le nombre de fidèles assistant aux messes dominicales n’a cessé de croître, au point de rendre les locaux trop exigus.

Cardinal Cobo Turns the Consecration into a Theatrical Display: On 15 August, Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid delivered a liturgically abusive, theatrical presentation of the consecration at the Eucharist for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Parish Church of the Virgen de la Paloma in Madrid. While saying the words of consecration - “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body” - Cardinal Cobo looked towards the congregation and extended the bread towards them. He made a similar gesture with the chalice while saying, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it.” The Eucharist was broadcast live on Telemadrid.
¿Qué clase de consagración es esta? Las rúbricas son claras: El sacerdote, además, se inclina un poco cuando, en la consagración, pronuncia las palabras del Señor.

Another “rave in the nave” took place in Anglican. Canterbury Cathedral yesterday evening, on the Feast of the Assumption. The “silent disco” of 80s music had two sessions running from 6.30pm to midnight. In 1170, St Thomas Becket was martyred in the cathedral.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has won another important legal victory for election integrity. The Fifth Circuit reversed a lower court and upheld key parts of Texas Senate Bill 1. Voters casting mail ballots must provide an identification number or Social Security number that matches state records. They also receive multiple chances to correct defects. Stronger rules protect those who need assistance from coercion or intimidation. This work is hard. It is often unseen. It consumes years of legal effort and quiet persistence. Yet it remains fundamental in a constitutional republic. Honest elections protect the dignity of lawful voters and guard the vulnerable. Christians are called by God to seek and defend the good in the public square. We labor for truth here with the same care we bring to prayer because justice in temporal affairs belongs to the mandate Christ has given us.
Book of Ezekiel 24,15-24. Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, by a sudden blow I am taking away from you the delight of your eyes, but do not mourn or weep or shed any tears. Groan in silence, make no lament for the dead, bind on your turban, put your sandals on your feet, do not cover your beard, and do not eat the customary bread. That evening my wife died, and the next morning I did as I had been commanded. Then the people asked me, "Will you not tell us what all these things that you are doing mean for us?" I therefore spoke to the people that morning, saying to them: Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord GOD: I will now desecrate my sanctuary, the stronghold of your pride, the delight of your eyes, the desire of your soul. The sons and daughters you left behind shall fall by the sword. You shall do as I have done, not covering your beards nor eating the customary bread. Your turbans shall remain on your heads, your sandals …More
Buch Ezechiel 24,15-24. Das Wort des Herrn erging an mich: Menschensohn, ich nehme dir die Freude deiner Augen durch einen jähen Tod. Doch du sollst weder klagen noch weinen. Keine Träne darfst du vergießen, nur leise stöhnen. Keine Trauerfeier sollst du halten. Binde deinen Kopfbund um, und zieh deine Schuhe an! Verhülle deinen Bart nicht, und iß kein Trauerbrot! Ich redete am Morgen zum Volk. Meine Frau starb am Abend, und ich tat am Morgen, was mir befohlen war. Da sagte das Volk zu mir: Willst du uns nicht erklären, was dein Verhalten für uns zu bedeuten hat? Ich antwortete ihnen: Das Wort des Herrn ist an mich ergangen. Sag zum Haus Israel: So spricht Gott, der Herr: Ich will mein Heiligtum entweihen, den Zufluchtsort, auf den ihr so stolz seid, die Freude eurer Augen und die Sehnsucht eurer Seele. Eure Söhne und Töchter, die ihr zurückgelassen habt, werden unter dem Schwert fallen. Dann werdet ihr genauso handeln wie ich: Ihr werdet den Bart nicht verhüllen und kein Trauerbrot …More
