Leo XIV appoints religious sister – lobbying for female ordinations – to senior leadership position in the Roman Curia. On October 8, Pope Leo XIV appointed Sister Mary Teresa Barron as Adjunct Secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization and President of the Pontifical Mission Societies. The Pontifical Mission Societies is a global network supporting missionary activity, particularly in Africa, Asia, Oceania and parts of Latin America. Born in Ireland, Sr. Mary became a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles. The missionary congregation was founded in Lyon, France, in 1876 for evangelization, particularly in Africa. “Some women sense a call to priesthood” At a Vatican press conference during the Synod on Synodality in 2024, Sister Barron argued for the ordination of women: “Is the Spirit calling women? Because some women do sense a call to priesthood or diaconate.” Sister Barron believes that “we have to look at broader than just can or can we not …Дэлгэрэнгүй

“It felt like a nightmare.” Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet has spoken about the four-year ordeal of being accused of sexual assault, after a Quebec court ruled in his favor in a defamation case and found the allegations against him unfounded. Speaking to Rome Reports on October 7, Ouellet said: “It felt like a nightmare, a very difficult and costly experience, because I had to hire lawyers to defend myself, and this had an impact on my reputation, my moral authority, my health, and many other things.” “I think that today, with all the cases that have been publicized, there's actually a presumption of guilt, and so I felt like I was under this cloud of suspicion and doubt.” “I'm afraid the damage can't really be undone.”

I still remember the summer my grandmother left my brother and me at the country house with Grandpa because she had to go away for a day. We were eight years old. That night, we were supposed to be sleeping, but instead we were whispering, laughing, and fooling around in bed. Grandpa finally said, “Go to sleep. I’m getting you up early tomorrow. Breakfast is at nine.” We didn’t care. We stayed awake past midnight. At 8:30 the next morning, Grandpa came in. “Up. Breakfast is at nine.” “Okay, Grandpa…” And we rolled over and went right back to sleep. We finally woke up around eleven. The little storage room where all the food was kept was locked. Grandpa had the key in his pocket. That was new for us. Grandma would have reheated breakfast five times if necessary. “Grandpa, what about breakfast?” He looked at us calmly. “Breakfast was at nine.” We wandered around for a while, annoyed and hungry, then decided we didn’t care. “Grandpa, we’re going down to the river.” “Go ahead,” he said. “…Дэлгэрэнгүй
Leo XIV sounds decentralizing: “new paths” for local Churches. At yesterday’s meeting on Amoris Laetitia, Pope Leo XIV spoke of “the (alleged) fruits that Amoris Laetitia has borne in our local Churches.” And then: “It will also help the local Churches to recognize new paths and to involve all the baptized more deeply in the Church’s synodal journey.”
Pope Leo XIV calls on the Church to gather the “fruits” of 10 years of Amoris Laetitia — saying they should nourish the whole Church and help local Churches “recognize new paths.”

While he typically adopts a conventional suit for daily attire, he assumes full liturgical vestments and pontifical insignia only when acting with a troubling lack of maturity—thereby casting unnecessary reproach upon the Church.
Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco: "There was more unity in the Church when we were living under Summorum Pontificum than we are now under Traditionis Custodes."
BREAKING! According to hearsay, the Mostar bishops Žanič and Perič were allegedly "victims of slander"—a claim reported by some websites based solely on assertions made to serve a specific agenda. This stirred-up "Medjugorje controversy," propagated by numerous opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions, reeks of malicious intent—or even a coordinated campaign. Yet, the opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions have "forgotten"—or simply refuse to see—and are sweeping under the rug the objective, accessible facts regarding the very matters they claim to "refute" through mere hearsay. Let us take a closer look... Anton Selecký * * * VIDEO: UDBA member Lasić, Bishop Perić, Fr.

Pope Francis appointed Sister Helen Alford as President of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences on 1 April 2023.
At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.
WHITE SMOKE 1958 -74- The KEY Fifth and final point: And here, to conclude, is the one and only true key to understanding the 1958 conclave, and I repeat, there is no other key but this one. Indeed, here is a fact that any sensible person will understand: it has been 67 years since the 1958 conclave took place; who cares? Who remembers it? Who tries to find out exactly what happened? Almost no one! As a result, everyone thinks that the Catholic Church resides in the conciliar Church, and those who disagree either break away from it or form sects of varying sizes. And this, everyone can see, and no one can dispute it. Here, then, is the key to understanding the 1958 conclave, and it is Jesus Christ Himself who reveals it to us when He speaks of false prophets. He says: “You will know them by their fruits.” Since 1958—and I am writing this in 2025—the fruits are evident: they are all poisonous! And so the tree, as the Gospel tells us, is rotten. Now, the roots of this evil tree lie in the …Дэлгэрэнгүй
