Worse than Germany: A memorial ceremony for Buddhist woman Marta Pezzati, 59, was held on August 20 in the Catholic Church of San Martino in Rebbio, Como, Italy. Pezzati was president of the volunteer association Como Accoglie and was well known locally for her work assisting migrants and refugees. The ceremony was hosted by the parish priest Giusto Della Valle, who had worked with Pezzati on initiatives involving migrants. Two Buddhist monks participated in the ceremony. One of the monks later told LaNuovaBq.it that the event was “not a Mass and not even a funeral, but a remembrance of Marta's generosity.” He said there had been no Catholic liturgy or Catholic prayer. Priest: “She Found God in Budddha” Video recordings show Father Della Valle and another Catholic priest present wearing an alb and stole. During the ceremony, the two Buddhist monks chanted a Buddhist mantra from the ambo. Father Della Valle also spoke about Pezzati's Buddhist faith. He described her as a “woman of …Күберәк
God’s Will Requires A Transformed Mind The first reading highlights Jeremiah’s struggle with God’s will, questioning why God allows suffering despite his call to preach. The second reading emphasizes the need for a transformed mind to discern God’s will, which often involves trials and suffering. These trials, while challenging, are necessary for spiritual growth and strengthening our faith, ultimately conforming us to Christ. God desires us to be the center of our lives, loving Him with all our heart, soul, and strength, and striving to do His will. This requires a transformation of our minds, aligning our thoughts and desires with His, which can only be achieved through prayer and a commitment to living according to His teachings. While this path may be challenging, it leads to fulfillment, peace, and joy, as it conforms us to our true nature as beings created in His image. Fr.

Silicon Valley “Neighborhood Masses” Fuse Eucharist and Community Organizing. Worse than Germany: One Saturday a month, Rev. Rick Rodoni, pastor of St. Lucy Parish in the heart of Silicon Valley, celebrates pop-up “Neighborhood Masses.” Posters declare that “everyone is welcome!” The Eucharist is celebrated in a parking area, with a makeshift altar and folding chairs. The liturgy is combined with “community listening sessions.” After the Liturgy of the Word, tables are available for neighbors to express their concerns “during the Mass.”
For decades, legend claimed that the pilot who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima became a Carthusian monk at Serra San Bruno in Calabria. The truth was different. Father Tony Lehmann, a former U.S. soldier, visited Hiroshima after the war and, deeply affected by its devastation, chose to become a “man of peace.” He later joined the Carthusians, living at Serra San Bruno, before becoming a Jesuit devoted to pastoral service. He was no “penitent pilot,” but a witness to Hiroshima who chose peace, prayer and service. Father Tony died of leukemia on March 8, 2002, aged 73.

On August 28, the U.S. Justice Department released a 231-page report on the FBI’s 2023 Richmond Catholic memo, including evidence of surveillance of traditionalist Catholic clergy. The FBI investigated two priests and conducted surveillance connected to them. One belonged to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX); the other, his uncle, was associated with SSPX Resistance and had been ordained by Bishop Richard Williamson. Agents researched travel and credit-card records. FBI personnel in Boston surveilled the second priest at the airport, while Customs and Border Protection questioned him and searched his phone. Both investigations were subsequently closed after the FBI found no identified national-security threat and no alleged violation of federal law. Among the exhibits in the DOJ report is an FBI PowerPoint titled “Traditionalist Catholicism Overview” - essentially a rudimentary guide to the various traditionalist Catholic groups and sects. Remarkably, the presentation included …Күберәк
If you read the slides on "Radical Traditional Catholicism" you will see that for the FBI any Catholic who adheres to and professes all the Magisterial teaching, Encyclicals and Apostolic letters on Church and State, family and morality of previous Popes before Vatican II (and, indeed, the Ten Commandments) should be profiled as a terrorist. The FBI makes a complete caricature of what those teachings are and represent, claiming such nonsense as Traditional Catholics believe in a "totalitarian Catholic confessional State". They even portray the fundamental principle of “Error has no rights” as being problematic and indicative of "radical Traditionalism". Tell that to God, Who holds the same principles. So Hell is a terroristic construct?

German Church Cancels November Synodal Conference as Vatican Delays Approval: The first “Synodal Conference” of the Church in Germany, scheduled to take place in Stuttgart on November 6–7, has been postponed, Domradio reported on August 28. The main reason is that the statutes are still awaiting the necessary recognition from the Vatican. Hotel rooms that had been reserved for the November meeting have been cancelled. The president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Hildesheim, had already said in May that, given the ongoing review by several Vatican dicasteries, he no longer expected the Synodal Conference to begin in November.
Gute Nachrichten: Synodalkonferenz der deutschen Kirche für November abgesagt.
Today, Leo XIV issued the Motu Proprio Mutua concordia, setting out “an orderly procedure for the removal of a Patriarch from office by the Synod of Bishops” of an Eastern Catholic Church. The new rules allow a synod, for a grave reason, to ask a patriarch to resign. If he refuses, the bishops can proceed to a secret vote on his removal, in which at least two-thirds of the synod’s voting members must take part. The synod does not have the final word. Leo XIV reserved to the Roman Pontiff “the granting of assent to the synodal decision.” The removal only takes legal effect after the Pope gives his assent. #newsVxvvrngosc
Video >>youtube.com/watch?v=-2CO4CUW-bI Massimo Introvigne is an Italian sociologist of religion and one of the world's leading scholars of new religious movements. He has written extensively on Catholic traditionalism, religious liberty, and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and has spent decades studying the movement, including interviewing Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, its founder. Following the SSPX's recent episcopal consecrations and the Vatican's declaration that they constituted a schismatic act, Introvigne offers a sociological perspective on what the future may hold for the movement. In this conversation, Introvigne argues that the SSPX's deepest disagreement with the Catholic Church is not the Latin Mass but its rejection of the Church's teaching on religious liberty and relations with other religions. He explains why he believes the Society has likely passed its period of strongest growth, how Pope Leo XIV has changed the religious landscape that once benefited the movement, …Күберәк
Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese. He will thus be the successor to Archbishop Richard Daniel Alarcón Urrutia, 74. Just two weeks ago, the new Archbishop offered to the idol Pachamama. Leo XIV Personally Formed Estrada Born in Cotabambas in 1973, Monsignor Estrada joined the Augustinians and was ordained a priest in 2005. Pope Francis appointed Estrada auxiliary bishop of Cuzco in January 2021. In May 2025, Bishop Estrada told VaticanNews.va, that Leo XIV was already his professor, his spiritual director within the Augustinians, and then his Prior General. Finally they served together within the Peruvian episcopate. Bishop Prevost was a concelebrant at the priestly ordination of Estrada and his episcopal co-consecrator.

On August 29, Pope Leo XIV became the first Pope to take part by boat in the procession for the Feast of Our Lady of the Lake in Castel Gandolfo. After celebrating the Eucharist at the Church of Maria Santissima del Lago, Leo XIV boarded the Falco together with the statue of Our Lady of the Lake and crossed Lake Albano in a 25-minute procession, accompanied by canoes and other boats. The tradition dates back to 1954 and was established to bring together the local community and those who lived and worked around the lake.
Pope Leo XIV was the first pope to travel by boat during the traditional procession on Lake Albano. He was accompanied by a good dozen boats. During the trip, he waved and blessed the people on the shore and on the lake. The trip was accompanied by music and meditations. After about half an hour, the pope’s boat docked again at the shore.

The Saint Who Refused To Hearken to the Voice of Women On this solemn day of August 29th, as the Church commemorates the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, the echoes from the dungeon of Machaerus ring louder than ever. We do not honor a man who died for a vague, comfortable ideal; we honor a martyr who shed his blood because he dared to declare a specific, offensive truth to a culture drunk on self-indulgence: It is not lawful for you to have her. The Passion of Saint John is the ultimate warning for our present hour. It lays bare the eternal spiritual battle between the unyielding voice of divine truth and the corrupting spirit of compromise—a spirit fully alive today in the ideology of modern secular feminism.
