Cardinal Burke Sees "No State of Emergency": Ordaining bishops without a papal mandate will have to be punished, Cardinal Raymond Burke told PerMariam.com. He hopes Leo XIV will appoint cardinals to continue talks with the FSSPX, saying reconciliation remains possible. Cardinal Burke, a canon lawyer, rejected rumours that all FSSPX members could be declared excommunicated: "I don’t think that can be sustained". Furthermore, he dismissed the FSSPX's claim of a "state of emergency" to justify episcopal consecrations. While acknowledging serious difficulties in the Church, he insisted that Catholics must remain faithful within the Church: "No situation justifies doing something that is intrinsically evil."
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Raymond Burke has given his assessment of the recent Extraordinary Consistory along with the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X, noting some remaining concerns about the consistory format, while lamenting the planed consecrations. Speaking with Per Mariam following the recent consistory, Cdl. Burke offered a summary of the event which drew just under 180 cardinals to Rome for the second such meeting of Leo XIV’s pontificate. As many have similarly done, Burke welcomed the return of consistory’s to the Vatican’s regular life, since it offers a chance to “discuss important questions with regard to the Church.” But he also raised his concerns about the small table “synodal” group method which has largely replaced the traditional open discussion. As for synodality itself, on which the cardinals were briefed during Saturday’s meeting, the American prelate said that it “remains unresolved.” “There really needs to be a …

Third possibility: How could the cardinals of the 1958 conclave accept without protest the resignation of Pius XII's successor half an hour after he had accepted the office? We can conjecture that the manoeuvres of a few traitors consisted of: 1- persuading the new Pope to resign for the good of the Church or for some other cause; 2- ensuring that the new Pope in turn persuaded the cardinals that it was legitimate for him to resign for the same reasons; 3- ensuring that no coercion was apparent so that everyone would believe that this resignation was made freely.

This article was published by the National Review online on June 26, 2026 Wesley Smith By Wesley J Smith The Anglican Church of Canada has authorized clergy to bless people being euthanized just before, during, and after being lethally jabbed (when permitted by the bishop). From “Pastoral Liturgies at the Time of Death in Contexts of Medically Assisted Dying”: It is not our intent to enter into the ethical arguments regarding MAiD, nor to provide a moral argument for or against MAiD. . . . No matter where people are in their life journey, we as a Christian community and Christian leaders in particular are called to respond pastorally to the needs and concerns of the people before us. Wherever the church serves, we are the Body of Christ reaching out to the suffering, the sick, and the dying. When someone reaches out for pastoral care, the church responds: there is a duty of pastoral care. If the Anglican Church can’t enter into an ethical argument about euthanasia what is the point …
I’m sure that a number of priests have quietly celebrated a funeral Mass for someone who has chosen euthanasia? If you know this to be true, care to comment?
"This is the rotten comedy of the age." Occult mockery at its finest! And to say," They refuse certain fundamental elements of the Church, beginning with several points of the Second Vatican Council." Is an outright lie! And also the writer says, " The SSPX profession says exactly that." I didn't read that in the profession so I think the writer is way off base making that assertion. V2 isn't the problem or nexus. It is the errors of Russia, and Archbishop Lefebvre knew that!
29.06.2026 THE LIONEL ANDRADES INTERPRETATION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II IS DOGMATIC, MAGISTERIAL, APOSTOLIC, RATIONAL AND ETHICAL: POPE LEO MUST ADAPT The SSPX Profession of Faith can be read with the Lionel Andrades (L.A) interpretation. VC2 is traditional and ecclesiocnetric. The blue orthodox passages dominate. The red ones are not exceptions for the blue passages. The text of Vatican Council II read rationally supports the traditionalists but when read irrationally supports Pope Leo and the liberals. High Noon after July 1, 2026. Canon and secular petitions will target irrational and dishonest interpretations of Vatican Council II by cardinals and bishops. Reason and tradition support the conservative Catholics. When Vatican Council II is traditional and aligned with the conservatives how can the SSPX be excommunicated in the name of the Council?

The Pope seeks discernment, but revelation ended with the death of St. John. The Holy Spirit assists us in living that revelation. It is the demonic spirits who provide new inspiration.
Sat Jun 27, 2026 - 2:34 pm EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV opened his second extraordinary consistory of cardinals on Friday in which he insisted that the Lord is leading the Church via “synodality” so that she can “grow in communion,” according to a report by Vatican journalist Edward Pentin. The Pontiff encouraged the 178 cardinals to “engage wholeheartedly” in a synodal, working group structure, adding that he was “well aware that, for many of us, this is not the usual way of conducting a consistory,” Pentin said in his EWTN News report. “I count on you to help me discern what the Spirit is saying to the Church today. I need your support: strong, explicit, and public,” Leo said in his opening remarks on Friday. “I need to feel sustained by you as brothers.” “The pope’s comments came after some cardinals had expressed apprehensions about the consistory using a ‘synodal’ round-table format for a second time — a structure they felt was ‘very controlled’ when …

Fr. Hesse on Vatican II: « A council that tells me that the Muslims together with us are worshipping one merciful God is a council that doesn't tell me the truth.» Traditional Catholic Education source
Islam is a forward edition of Arianism. After the collapse of the Roman empire, it emerged to fill the void of empire in the Middle East. When I was a grade school student Moslem classmates used to tell me they are in a centuries long wait for proof of Christianity.
Run of Saint Andrew: Amalfi's Centuries-Old Tradition. The spectacular 'Run of Saint Andrew' in Amalfi, Italy, is part of a centuries-old celebration honoring Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint. According to local tradition, on 27 June 1544, as the fleet of the Ottoman corsair Khayr al-Din Barbarossa threatened Amalfi, the townspeople prayed for Saint Andrew's intercession. A violent storm scattered the enemy ships, and the city was spared. Each year on 27 June, bearers carry the silver reliquary bust of Saint Andrew at a run up the 62 steps of Amalfi Cathedral, commemorating this traditional account of the city's deliverance.
La spettacolare "Corsa di Sant'Andrea": cinque secoli di fede e tradizione: Secondo la tradizione, il 27 giugno 1544, mentre la flotta del celebre corsaro ottomano Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa minacciava Amalfi, gli abitanti implorarono l'intercessione di Sant'Andrea.

Liturgical Argument. The Catholic Church, directed by the Holy Spirit of God, is the pillar and base of truth and has ever held as divinely revealed and as contained in the deposit of heavenly revelation this doctrine concerning the original innocence of the august Virgin — a doctrine which is so perfectly in harmony with her wonderful sanctity and preeminent dignity as Mother of God — and thus has never ceased to explain, to teach and to foster this doctrine age after age in many ways and by solemn acts. From this very doctrine, flourishing and wondrously propagated in the Catholic world through the efforts and zeal of the bishops, was made very clear by the Church when she did not hesitate to present for the public devotion and veneration of the faithful the Feast of …More

Vatican Responded "Good Luck" to the Catholic State Idea: Today, Bishop Bernard Fellay FSSPX ordained five priests and three deacons in Écône. During his homily, he claimed "a small incident" witnessed by all the leading figures of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, including the Prefect, the Secretary and the Undersecretary. The FSSPX said that they want to win over individuals but also societies for Christ. The alleged response from the Congregation: "Good luck." Monsignor Fellay comments: "They no longer believe it."
Mgr Fellay reports this highly revealing anecdote about the mindset of the Roman authorities. When the FSSPX tells them that it wants to work to bring souls and societies back to God, these same authorities say to it, "Good luck!" They no longer believe in it!
Thank GOD Russia got RID of communism brought in by NON RUSSIANS. Let us be happy now that GOD and His Holy Mother made sure of that. And She is no longer communist. Unless you want to begrudge them for choosing Russia who has been sinned against more than have sinned and now rewarded for al their suffering? Even now as every evil person in the world attacks her and planning on destroying them. Can you at least try to accept GOD'S Will. Before you find out it wasn't very wise to keep going against them. Just a thought? Maybe? @Jeffrey Ade How many honors and Blessings did I list? Several? And still can't find it in your heart to appreciate and thank GOD and His Mother for all they did for Russia? I and most of the world does. Except the evil ones in Europe and US of course. Finally revealing all their talks were empty and useless and had NO plans whatsoever to bring peace between the two countries. Thank GOD they finally revealed how they truly think. GOD loosened their tongue which …More

Every day I looked for your post to see which flowers you were offering to The Blessed Mother. They were all beautiful. If I was very happy to see what you did, imagine how much more happiness you made Our Holy Mother! I am sure she was glowing with happiness. Picturing her with a warm smile for what you did for her. May GOD Bless you and Our Holy Mother pour her graces on you. You set that up so beautifully. Would you mind very much if I kept this picture for myself please?
