“Be careful! They want a Church that simply cannot exist.” That’s what priests in Africa told Archbishop Hubertus van Megen when they learned he was heading to Germany as the papal nuncio in Berlin. In an interview with Katholisch.de, published September 23, Van Megen, who spent nearly 16 years in Africa before moving to Berlin, said tensions over Germany’s Synodal Path run “throughout the entire universal Church.” The Dutch prelate also sees parallels with secularization in the Netherlands. “The Germans, in my impression, often want too much too quickly,” he said, questioning whether reforms are meant to “save” the Church: “I would consider that an illusion.”
Deutschlands neuen Nuntius sagte, die Spannungen um den deutschen suizidalen Weg seien in der ganzen katholischen Kirche spürbar. Aus Afrika habe er Warnungen gehört: „Seien Sie vorsichtig! Sie wollen eine Kirche, die so nicht existieren kann.“

Father Isaac Relyea on the sign of the Cross with John-Henry Weston. I have not watched it yet. Fr. Isaac Relyea: “Pope Leo XIV Is a Heretic” – Silence of the Shepherds Invites Damnation Traditional Franciscan priest Fr. Mary-Isaac Relyea joins John-Henry Westen to address what he describes as a crisis of silence within the Catholic hierarchy. Drawing on St. John Eudes and St. Gregory the Great, Relyea argues that priests and bishops have a grave obligation to defend Catholic doctrine and warn souls against sin. He sharply criticizes Pope Leo XIV and other prelates whom he believes have failed in that responsibility, a failure that, he warns, invites damnation. The discussion addresses reception of Holy Communion, homosexuality, modernism, Vatican II, and the SSPX. Relyea argues that Catholics must remain faithful to what they understand as perennial Catholic teaching even amid opposition from Church authorities or their own families. The silence of the shepherds is not neutral; it is …Bivule
Cardinal McElroy hails Leo XIV’s shift from “unfortunate” Catechism teaching. Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, writing at NcROnline.org on September 23, said that “during the past six months, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in Catholic teaching on war.” McElroy praised the “tremendous progress” made during that period toward “eclipsing the role of the just war tradition in Catholic teaching.” “The just war framework has been distorted to become a source of justification for those inclined to go to war, rather than a constraint on war,” McElroy claimed. Then this: “One of the accelerants for this trend is the unfortunate statement in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that the evaluation of the just war criteria belongs to those who have responsibility for the common good.” The cardinal's statement comes in the wake of Leo XIV’s encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas'. In §192, Leo XIV writes that just-war theory “is now outdated.” However, Catechism 2309 doesn’t say …Bivule
A priest has been killed and four people injured in a knife attack at the Benedictine abbey in Jarosław, Poland, on September 24. Police say a 31-year-old Ukrainian citizen attacked four men and a woman shortly before 9:30 a.m. and was detained at the scene. Fr. Stanisław died from his injuries. Fr. Marek was seriously wounded. The other victims were also hospitalized. The motive has not yet been established.
Dziś rano, na terenie Opactwa Sióstr Benedyktynek w Jarosławiu doszło do ataku nożownika (31-letniego obywatela Ukrainy) na grupę osób, które prawdopodobnie zgromadziły się na poranne nabożeństwo. W wyniku napaści zginął kapłan - ks. Stanisław, rektor ośrodka rekolekcyjnego. Dwóch kolejnych duchownych (w tym ks. Marek) jest w bardzo poważnym stanie. W ataku ranione zostały również inne osoby, w tym jedna kobieta. Do morderstwa doszło po godzinie 9:00. Natomiast o 10:00 miała rozpocząć się Msza Święta. Sprawca został ujęty. Świadkami była m.in. młodzież, która chwilę wcześniej zwiedzała Opactwo, które jest otwarte. Pozostaje nam podjąć pilny szturm modlitewny, zwłaszcza za tych, którzy teraz walczą o życie..
Patriarch accuses Curia Cardinal. Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignatius Youssef III Younan has accused Curia Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches, of helping orchestrate an effort to remove him. Younan told the Substack.com-account 'The Pillar' that Gugerotti encouraged bishops to turn against him. He also alleges that Gugerotti helped develop the new papal law now being used against him. Younan, 81, has led the Syriac Catholic Church since 2009. He is the first Eastern Catholic patriarch to face proceedings under Pope Leo XIV’s 'Mutua concordia', promulgated on August 29. The process against him was reportedly initiated on September 4 - just six days later. Under the new law, a synod may request a patriarch’s resignation for a grave cause. If he refuses, proceedings can continue under another bishop’s presidency. Removal requires a two-thirds secret vote, the patriarch must be allowed to defend himself, and the decision requires papal assent. The …Bivule
The click is dying. Gloria.tv flourishes. “Social media is becoming an increasingly urgent issue in communications,” Cardinal Marx of Munich - not exactly known for his Catholic convictions - observed on Monday. Cardinal Marx added: “The media landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. We are witnessing a turning point.” On that, he is right. The old model of editorial, paternalistic media is fading. Users want a voice of their own. They increasingly consume headlines and news snippets directly in their feeds without ever clicking through. We see it on Gloria.tv: about 90% of users never get beyond roughly 1,000 characters. Gloria.tv has changed with the media landscape — into a social network. And it works: Gloria.tv ranks among the 10,000 largest websites worldwide on Cloudflare Radar. But success doesn't pay the bills. Our autumn fundraising goal is €10,000. That would give us breathing room until Advent. For almost twenty years, Gloria.tv has been short of money. That, too,…Bivule
Cardinal Mario Grech says the Church is “synodal by nature”, but also “hierarchical by nature.” The baptized meet to “make decisions together”, but the bishop must ensure those decisions are correct, and the Pope does so for the universal Church. Speaking to Domradio.de on September 22, Cardinal Grech said there is “room for everyone”, but Germany’s proposed Synodal Conference still requires “careful” examination. Synodality, he said, is still “developing”, but the Synod itself is already over. The three-year implementation phase culminates in a 2028 ecclesial assembly, which Grech stressed is “not a continuation of the Synod.” What follows is for Pope Leo XIV to decide.
Kardinal Mario Grech erklärte, die Kirche sei „von Natur aus synodal“ – „es gibt Platz für alle“ –, fügte jedoch sofort hinzu, dass sie ihrem Wesen nach weiterhin hierarchisch sei. Auf die Frage nach der noch anstehenden Synodalversammlung in Deutschland lehnte Seine Eminenz eine Stellungnahme ab und verwies die Angelegenheit an das Dikasterium für die Bischöfe. Die kirchliche Versammlung im Jahr 2028, fügte er hinzu, sei keine Fortsetzung der Synode von 2021–24.
“Whoever denigrates marriage also diminishes the glory of virginity. Whoever praises it makes virginity more admirable and resplendent. What appears good only in comparison with evil would not be truly good. The most excellent good is something even better that what is admitted to be good.” Saint John Chrysostom, De virginitatae
Funeral for a male dancer turns into a comedy performance. Dancer, choreographer, and social worker Thierry Parmentier, 74, was given a funeral in the Catholic church of Caldogno, Italy, on June 24. He had planned the event himself, including its music, choreography and performances. Belgian-born, Parmentier had lived in the Vicenza area for over 40 years and staged productions to raise funds for AIDS research. The church was filled with Doctor Clown volunteers, biodance and holistic practitioners, and stilt-walkers. Don Gigi Maistrello, chaplain to Vicenza prison, preached the homily. After the funeral, an animated procession accompanied the coffin to the parish centre, where the farewell continued with music, dance and performances.
C’è ancora qualcosa di Cattolico? Venghino, siori, venghino: al gran circo del funerale di Thierry Parmentier a Caldogno!
Trump calls for all nations to quit the International Criminal Court, as the ICC never goes after the killers of Christians and constantly loves to whine about the "atrocities" of the US military and how they (the ICC), cherish the butchery of kids and transgenderism in children (sick), DJT truth bomb.
This is why we know people like @Falk B are either brainwashed or fools, the video and statement of this article is Trump denouncing the ICC for their proselytism of transgenderism and butchering of kids, but the ICC instead of trying the butchers of Christians and kids, with their omission and constant demon style proselytism prefer to butcher kids, and our dear unhinged democrat, liberal or perhaps bergoglian talks about the sins of the US military like if this post is about that. Even Jesus said about wars and rumors of wars: "they NEED to happen", I CHALLENGE YOU @Falk B to find 1 Venezuelan living abrought that backs you up on the killing of those who died safeguarding Maduro, BUT hey, you have free will and have NO common sense at all, so ill give you 1 point out of 100 for participating yet missing the mark entirely.
Atrocities of US military? Hell yes!!!! Iran, Irak, Contras, Syria, Venezuela, Peru, Cuba, Kongo, Haiti, Chile (not all wars but "involvement) you name it!!!! Basically no war on this planet without the US at least involved, many of em on their behalf...
Putin can't possible fall for this. No less after Rubio said, We are NOT intermediators. We are ON the side of Ukraine. He has too much hope in him for peace and in human beings who don't act nor talk like human beings.
How odd. Ukraine backed by NATO attacked Russia during elections with over 1,600 drones. They said nothing. NOW? Now I see this. NATO jets scrambled in Poland, Romania as Russia strikes Ukraine According to information published by Romania’s Ministry of National Defense on August 20, 2025, two German Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled from Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base in response to one of the heaviest Russian drone assaults in recent weeks targeting Ukrainian territory along the Danube River. Romania’s air surveillance tracked waves of Shahed drones directed against Izmail, a strategic Ukrainian port located only meters from NATO territory. The same night, Poland’s operational command confirmed that its own fighter jets had been scrambled and air defense systems placed on maximum readiness due to Russian long-range aviation strikes against Ukraine, which included the use of hypersonic missiles.
Speaking to journalists earlier on Wednesday, Rubio expressed his hope that the Russian president would arrive for the summit. “We hope that’s an invitation he’ll accept. There’s an opportunity in December if that happens.” That must be one of his sick jokes again. Except it's not funny at all.
“Conservative” Auxiliary Bishop Josef Graf of Regensburg, Germany, can envision ordaining married men to the priesthood. Monsignor Graf made this remarks during a holiday in San Genesio, South Tyrol, where he also helped with the grape harvest in a local vineyard. He told Bz-bx.net: “I personally believe that the Church could afford viri probati”. He added that married priests would probably not solve the shortage of priests. On the ordination of women to the priesthood, Monsignor Graf said he believes it is “not possible.” He pointed there are “still” weighty theological reasons for reserving Holy Orders to men. #newsAdwjzpyvzr
Oddly enough, I can 'envision' waking up and discovering a Church which nurtures vocations by holding to the Faith rather than deviating from it to suit the needs of prelates who should never have been ordained in the first place.
Mature married men have worked out as well in the parishes founded by Anglicans who converted to Catholicism and, of course, historically in the Eastern Churches, so I don't see what people are worrying about. As long as they don't offer ordination to married men under the age of, say, 45 or 50, I think they'd make an excellent and much needed source of new priests.
