Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org): "The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that." The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little." Regarding Islam, Bishop Eleganti said that he is not "so naive as to think that water and …More
Every January 9, the Fiesta of the Poong Hesus Nazareno of Quiapo draws millions of Filipino devotees to Manila for the annual Traslacion. People flock to Quiapo to commemorate the traditional transfer of the image, originally from Mexico, from Intramuros to the Quiapo Church. What is supposed to be remembered is a solemn act of devotion, a penitential procession reenacting a historical moment of faith. The modern Traslacion follows the route from Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo Church, and by nature this devotion is good. No question about that. Filipinos have a deep love for Christ crucified, suffering, carrying the cross. That instinct is Catholic and it is beautiful. But let us be honest and blunt. As the years go by, what used to be a solemn and organized procession has turned into chaos. People get injured. People get trampled. People even die. And yet every year we repeat the same thing and pretend nothing is wrong. If you ask the elderly, those who witnessed the Traslacion decades …More
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD: Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (aged 52-53); Cardinal, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, Seraphic Doctor, Teacher of the Faith, Writer, Philosopher] “Thirdly, we have to consider that Mary was not only immune from the threefold woe of actual guilt, and from the threefold woe of original sin; but also from the threefold pain of hell. This threefold woe consists in the greatness, the multitude, and the duration of the punishments. Woe, therefore, to the damned and to those who will be damned, because of the greatness, the multitude, and the duration of their torments! "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth!" First, there is the greatness of the torments, as Ezechiel saith: "Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire" (Ezech. XXIV, 9.) The bloody city is the multitude of the impious, of whom there will be an immense bonfire made in the great conflagration of the damned. Oh, how far removed from …More
"Oh, how far removed from this woe of greatness of torment was the greatness of the grace and glory of Mary, for whom, instead of the grievous torments of hell, was prepared by God so great a glory in Heaven, and as she was great and garbed in merit, so is she great in her reward. She herself is that great throne of which it is said: "King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory" (3 Kings X, 8.)"
Cardinal Müller confirms to Raymond Arroyo that the traditional Latin Mass was not discussed in the consistory this week. The cardinals “preferred to speak about the great (external) challenges of the Church and not so much aspects inside the Church”

How is that a new governing style? Francis did essentially the same with this 'C-9 council', except that it involved only a select few cardinals, rather than the whole body.
Several sources confirmed that the Mass in the Roman rite was not mentioned at the consistory on 7–8 January. South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, 84, told Edward Pentin that the Roman Latin Mass was not discussed: "I think the main point was how to get the whole Church to evangelise at the same level." Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, 63, of Algeria, confirmed to Niwa Limbu that they had not discussed any form of liturgy: "We talked about the importance of the Eucharist in the context. of synodality." Only two dozen of the 170 cardinals were able to speak during the 'free interventions'. Speaker of the Vatican press office Matteo Bruni added in the evening that future consistories will be held once a year and last 3–4 days. The next consistory is planned for 27–28 June. #newsZnxlpxmwqb
01/09/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. In her article yesterday, Sascha Latypova described the business model of pediatrics in detail. The article on sashalatypova.substack.com is titled: See Baby, Shoot Baby, Bill! or The Business Model of Pediatrics. This post examines the perverse financial incentives and “pay-to-vax” mechanisms that underlie the greatest human tragedy in known history – mass poisoning of several generations of children with unregulated, liability-free poisons, aka “vaccines”. Payment mechanisms enforcing full CDC vaccination schedule and annual boosters (such as flu shots and covid shots) include federal (Medicaid), state (Medicaid and CHIP), local (Section 317) and private insurers schemes. An average pediatric practice obtains approximately 25% of the total annal revenue from direct vaccine reimbursement or administration fees. However, the impact on the profit from vaccine revenues is much greater than 25%. This is because numerous “incentive” schemes …
Minnesota Diocese Gives ‘Ad Orientem’ Worship a Shot: Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.

As Pope Leo XIV opened the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate on Wednesday, he structured the programme in a way that avoided substantive discussion of key issues. Even participating cardinals had previously believed official messaging and expected the liturgy to be addressed. Cardinal Hollerich of Luxembourg told journalists outside the Synod Hall on Wednesday that he had believed the Mass in the Roman rite would be discussed during the consistory. “I’m not against it,” he said, “but I do not like some of the values that are sometimes attached to it — no interreligious dialogue, not accepting the Second Vatican Council, and so on. But the liturgy itself, I think, is no problem. If many people have access to God through that liturgy, then that’s fine with me.” Is Leo XIV Playing for Time with Naive Catholics? However, Leo XIV informed the consistory that, due to alleged “time constraints,” only two of the four outlined topics would be discussed. He then staged a vote …More
What did Trad, Inc. and their followers expect? What did they think Francis' successor was actually going to allow? A vote by the Cardinals (the majority of whom were appointed by Francis) to reinstate the Roman Rite?......are you kidding?

2 Peter 2:1-2 "There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies and, denying the Master who bought them, will bring swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their debauchery, and because of them, the Way of truth will be blasphemed. Romans 6:23 : "The wages of sin is death".
It's like the time I visited an airport chapel that actually had a scheduled daily Mass for travelers AND the Blessed Sacrament present in a tabernacle - BUT they also had a "prayer rug corner" for Muslims. Some came in while I was saying the breviary and I resolved NOT to leave until they did to ensure no profanation. Luckily I had a long layover so I silently prayed the Jesus Prayer as they did their "rituals" in the back.
Among those whose names remain hidden are figures such as Saint Hildegard and Saint Lioba, Martin Buber and Edith Stein, as well as all bishops since the Second World War: from Albert Stohr and Hermann Volk to Cardinal Karl Lehmann.
