Several German Catholic dioceses have told De.CatholicNewsAgency.com on July 21 that they have no plans to expand the celebration of the Mass in the Roman rite. The dioceses that replied included the three "conservative" German dioceses Passau, Regensburg, and Cologne and the pro-homosexual Archdiocese of Hamburg. Passau and Cologne offered only brief responses, confirming that no expansion of the Traditional Latin Mass is currently planned. Regensburg Diocese, where the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) operates a seminary, provided a more detailed explanation of its position: "A sufficient number of opportunities to celebrate Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite is an important pastoral response to the sometimes aggressive missionary activity of the Society of St. Pius X and its supporters," diocesan spokesman Stefan Groß said. He added that the FSSPX continues to refuse full communion with the Pope, particularly regarding its understanding of religious freedom …More

Vance Praises Francis as "Genius": In a recent interview with Bishop Robert Barron, U.S. Vice President JD Vance praised Pope Francis, saying: "I always liked the way Pope Francis would make bold statements in the media because it forced people to talk about them. Sometimes he would say things that made me think, 'Wait a second, is that consistent or correct?'" However, the politician concluded that Francis had "forced a dialogue, and he was kind of a genius at that".
U.S. Vice President JD Vance praised Pope Francis in a recent interview with Bishop Robert Barron for being a “kind of genius” at forcing conversation with rhetorical “bombs.”
Excellenz haben offensichtlich keine Ahnung vom Protestantismus, und weiß offensichtlich nicht, dass sein geliebter Papst Franziskus eine Lutherstatue im Vatikan aufgestellt ihn als großartig bezeichnet hat und den Ketzer noch kanonisieren wollte; na vielleicht erfüllt ihm sein Nachfolger seinen Wunsch.
source: Grand Inquisitor — Inquisition; Substack “Who is Edgar Rimaycuna, the personal secretary and right-hand man of Leo XIV? (Excerpt from the article "Sodom in the Vatican" by Rodrigo Simón Rey, Cope, May 14, 2025) Edgar Rimaycuna is just 36 years old and is already the Pope’s Personal Secretary. He is a Peruvian priest, born in Chiclayo — the diocese where Robert Prevost served as bishop for a decade. It was in Chiclayo that he met Prevost in 2016. Edgar, who at the time was a 16 or 17 year-old seminarian, never left the side of “Father Roberto,” whom he regarded as a spiritual father and, over the years, a friend. The Pope began working with Edgar when he was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo. The Peruvian priest became his trusted right-hand man until 2023, when Prevost was made a cardinal and Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. The words Edgar addressed to him upon his departure say a great deal about their bond: “Thank you very much, …More
Pornographers-influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate - former webcam entrepreneurs turned pornographers-influencers – were arrested in Miami on July 18 following a provisional extradition request from the United Kingdom. The brothers also remain under criminal investigation in Romania. Allegations include human trafficking, rape, money laundering, and witness tampering. They face a total of 59 charges authorized by the UK's Crown Prosecution Service. They are British-American but have lived in Romania for years. Romanian prosecutors lifted the brothers' travel restrictions in February 2025, allowing them to leave the country. Later that month, they traveled to Florida by private jet. In March, Andrew Tate's then-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, filed a civil lawsuit alleging that he assaulted her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, accusing him of choking her nearly to unconsciousness, beating her, and threatening to kill her. Tate has denied the allegations. The Tates were in Miami to …More

Dokumentárny film Vatican News opäť dostupný po spore o autorské práva: Dokumentárny film Vatican News o pápežovi Levovi XIV. bol opäť zverejnený na YouTube po tom, čo bol približne tri dni nedostupný. Dokument bol zablokovaný na základe reklamácie autorských práv zo strany RAI. RAI neskôr vydala verejné vyhlásenie k tomuto incidentu, v ktorom uviedla, že prerušenie trvalo len „niekoľko hodín“ a že materiál použitý v dokumente bol riadne vyžiadaný a licencovaný. Počas obdobia, keď bol dokument nedostupný, Dikastérium pre komunikáciu nevydalo žiadne verejné vyhlásenie k tomuto výpadku. Portál SilereNonPossum.com tvrdí, že vyhlásenie RAI malo za cieľ chrániť vatikánsky úrad pre komunikáciu.

Hunter Biden says a "closeted gay mafia" of Republicans runs Washington Hunter: "There is like this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in Washington DC, and everybody knows every single one of them" Hunter: "I know for certain and I'm not kidding now… everybody in DC knows this" Hunter: "The only reason that that is relevant is because I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitrial inside a person that they take it out on the rest of the world" Hunter: "For Lindsey Graham, like everybody knows that Lindsey Graham was gay, right?"
The monk who disappeared during the night of June 23–24 from Notre-Dame de Bellaigue Abbey in central France was Dom Placide Dumas, prior of the monastery. His absence was discovered at Matins the following morning. More than two days later, he was found injured in the neighboring department of Haute-Vienne. French prosecutors opened an investigation for kidnapping and unlawful confinement. French media report that he was found bearing injuries consistent with an assault, although authorities have not disclosed the nature of his injuries or explained how he came to be in Haute-Vienne. Eleven monks allegedly attempted to take control of the monastery on the same night that Dom Placide disappeared. An email sent from Dom Placide's account announced his resignation as prior. Investigators are trying to determine whether he wrote it voluntarily, under duress, or whether someone else sent it. They also reportedly found his room completely emptied and carefully cleaned, suggesting his departure …More
