"Even if man does do some things that please me, yet he provokes me in more ways, since man's will and my will are not in harmony. Pharaoh also acted in this way when, although he knew my power by means of sure signs, nevertheless he set his mind against me and continued on in his wickedness. Therefore, he experienced my justice..."

‘The Book of Questions’ – St. Birgitta of Sweden – Interrogation 13, Revelation 8, pages 33-34; ‘Christ speaks to his bride, blessed Bridget, and praises frequent confession… ’

Fifth question. ”Why are some people exceedingly hardened, while others enjoy wonderful consolation?”
Answer to the fifth question. ”As to why some people are hardened, I answer: Pharaoh's hardness of heart was his own fault,
not mine, because he did not want to conform himself to my divine will. Hardness of heart is nothing other than the withdrawal of my divine grace, which is withdrawn when people do not give me, their God, their free possession, namely, their will.
You can understand this by means of a parable. There was a man who owned two fields, one of which lay fallow, while the other bore fruit at certain times. A friend of his said to him: 'I wonder why, although you are wise and rich, you do not take more care to cultivate your fields or why you do not give them to others to cultivate.' The man answered: 'One of the fields, no …More

McElroy's New Statement on Exorcist Contradicts His Previous One

🌈 Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry.
In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one."
That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism."
Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers.

The July 2026 consecrations are portrayed not simply as another repeat of 1988.
Instead, they are interpreted as demonstrating that the SSPX intends to perpetuate itself independently of Rome for the foreseeable future.

The SSPX's Ecclesiology of Substitution: Part of the Whole, or a new Whole? — And the Problem with a Crisis that Never Ends.

This long work by Father Clément Barré, a priest of the Archdiocese of Bordeaux, was published shortly before the episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X (July 1st, 2026), but months before they had been announced. We post an English translation here for the record of events. *** The SSPX's Ecclesiology of Substitution From the Distinction Between "True Rome" and "False Rome" to the Justification of Consecrations Without a Pontifical Mandate Based on Primary Sources of the SSPX (La Porte Latine, FSSPX Actualités, DICI) by Father Clément Barré Archdiocese of Bordeaux Author's note: This article draws extensively on the work of Father Albert Jacquemain, whom we cite in the introduction. It is from him that we receive the thesis this study seeks to demonstrate. Introduction The Society of Saint Pius X, founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, presents itself officially as a work in the service of the Catholic and Roman Church, not as an alternative to it.

Apostate Jorge Bergoglio: No Catholic Mass available? Just go to the Anglicans!
It is not licit for the faithful by any manner to assist actively or to have a part in the sacred [rites] of non-Catholics.
(Canon 1258 §1)
Whoever in any manner willingly and knowingly helps in the promulgation of heresy, or who communicates in things divine [=assists at sacred rites] with heretics against the prescription of Canon 1258, is suspected of heresy.
(Canon 2316)
It is unlawful for Catholics in any way to assist actively at or take part in the worship of non-Catholics (Canon 1258). Such assistance is intrinsically and gravely evil; for (a) if the worship is non-Catholic in its form (e.g., Mohammedan ablutions, the Jewish paschal meal, revivalistic “hitting the trail,” the right hand of fellowship, etc.), it expresses a belief in the false creed symbolized; (b) if the worship is Catholic in form, but is under the auspices of a non-Catholic body (e.g., Baptism as administered by a Protestant minister …More

"Highly Unlikely
Some self-proclaimed Catholics, lost in the world of information, find it intolerable to even raise the hypothesis that Leo XIV is homosexual.
They do not know that he, Leo XIV, authorized the Homosexual Jubilee in the Vatican and in St. Peter's Basilica. Against Church Doctrine, he permits homosexual blessings and fails to punish those who perform them; he constantly promotes homosexuals or members of the hierarchy who favor homosexual culture; and he allows homosexuals to influence the Synod to alter Catholic Doctrine regarding homosexuality. These are facts.
Does Leo XIV think that others are stupid and do not understand the modus operandi of the Lavender Mafia?
The thing is, in light of all this, if Leo XIV is not homosexual—since homosexuals like to promote one another—then he is a complete idiot who does not know what he is doing while lounging in the Chair of St. Peter. But this latter hypothesis is highly unlikely."

Archbishop Gänswein: "Now Is the Time to Abolish Traditionis Custodes"

Archbishop Georg Gänswein hopes the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite will be lifted, he told Il Giornale on July 7.
Looking back to Benedict XVI's 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, Monsignor Gänswein said the Pope wanted to restore “full rights to a rite that had never been abolished”: “His goal was to give it its rightful place again within the Church and to restore peace in the Church's liturgical life.”
According to Archbishop Gänswein, Summorum Pontificum was not conceived as a step toward reconciliation with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Rather, “it was directed toward the Church itself.”
Benedict XVI was pleased with the results of this reform. “It was beginning to bear fruit. It worked especially well among young people, and this is evident above all in the steadily growing numbers participating each year in the Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage.”
Monsignor Gänswein added that these young people are not opposed to the Second Vatican Council: “Anyone who …More

They say that as they gayificate the Church. This is just damage control to confuse Catholics, make them think there some good wolves out there.

"It often happened that they found themselves in want of necessaries, for they were very liberal to the poor, nor were they careful, like worldly people, to provide for their wants in advance. Now the Lord so ordered it, that the faith and patience of His holy Mother and St. Joseph should not be idle."

They mingled these conversations, or readings from the Scriptures, sometimes with manual labor, when the saint was obliged to continue at his work. Our most amiable Lady added to them the consolations of the celestial doctrines ; and thus the happy husband made greater advancement in virtue than with the work of his hands. She showed to Him the great fruit that may be drawn from labor. Believing herself unworthy to be maintained by her spouse, she was humbled, in thinking how much she was indebted to him. She felt herself as much obliged as if she had been the most useless of creatures, and, being unable to assist our saint, she served him whenever it was possible. About this time St. Joseph saw, one day, a great number of birds come to recreate the queen of creatures. ‘They fluttered around her, as if to form a choir, and sang with a delicious melody. St. Joseph had not before witnessed …More

US to let Ukraine produce Patriot interceptor missiles – Trump

Washington still refuses to provide more ammunition directly, as its stocks were reportedly depleted during the war with Iran The US could grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, President Donald Trump has said during a meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Türkiye. He maintained, however, that Washington would not supply the missiles directly. Ukraine has been heavily dependent on weapons from its Western backers throughout most of its conflict with Russia, which is now in its fifth year. Zelensky has repeatedly blamed the West for arms shortages and delays in deliveries, while constantly demanding more aid, including Patriot missiles, saying Ukraine does not have enough interceptors to counter Russian airstrikes. “We’re going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That’s pretty cool. This way, you can’t complain that we’re not giving them enough,” Trump told Zelensky during a meeting in Ankara on …

Pagliarani Blocked Fellay's 2018 Deal: "Rome Has to Acknowledge Its Errors"

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) rejected a Doctrinal Declaration proposed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which would have been followed by the granting of a canonical status, Monsignor Guido Pozzo told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7.
A meeting took place on 28 February 2018 at the Congregation between Cardinal Luis Ladaria, then Prefect, Monsignor Guido Pozzo, and Bishop Bernard Fellay.
Bishop Fellay said he would submit the Declaration to the FSSPX General Chapter, scheduled for July 2018. At that Chapter, on 11 July 2018, Father Davide Pagliarani was elected Superior General.
In the autumn of 2018, Cardinal Ladaria and Monsignor Pozzo met with Father Pagliarani.
Monsignor Pozzo on Fr Pagliarani: "He informed us that he would not sign the Declaration, as he considered it insufficient and inadequate to address the difficulties and critical issues raised by the FSSPX, and that Rome would have to acknowledge its errors."

On July 9th 1572, nineteen Catholic priests were hanged in a peat shed in the Netherlands.
They were offered their lives if they denied the Eucharist. All nineteen refused. The ropes were too long to break their necks. They strangled slowly.
The men who killed them founded the Dutch Republic.
