Sebuah juri di Pengadilan Distrik Australia Barat memutuskan Saunders bersalah atas 12 dakwaan pelecehan seksual dan satu dakwaan penetrasi seksual tanpa persetujuan. Juri membebaskannya dari enam dakwaan lainnya. Tindak pidana yang membuat Saunders dinyatakan bersalah terjadi antara tahun 2008 dan 2019, saat ia menjabat sebagai Uskup Broome. Saunders juga dinyatakan bersalah atas tindak pidana terhadap seorang pria lain, termasuk penetrasi seksual tanpa persetujuan. Juri berunding selama sekitar tujuh jam sebelum mengeluarkan putusan.

Saunders membantah semua dakwaan dan menyangkal tuduhan tersebut. Ia tidak …Lebih
Priest Remains at Altar as Earthquake Shakes Bogotá Chapel: A priest remained at the altar as an earthquake struck during the Consecration at a Mass in the Roman rite at the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Bogotá on August 10. The altar server and congregation also remained in place as the church and hanging lamps shook. The Mass continued throughout the tremor.
This is how the priest and faithful attending the Traditional Latin Mass reacted when an earthquake struck in the midst of the Consecration. The footage was recorded at the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Bogotá.
The Mass Atop Africa: On 9 August, Father João Silveira celebrated Mass in the Roman Rite at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is 5,895 metres above sea level. He had completed a week-long pilgrimage with Michael Matt of The Remnant newspaper and a group of traditional Catholics.
Bishop Vicente de Paula Ferreira, 55, of Livramento de Nossa Senhora in Bahia, Brazil, criticized the consecration of dioceses to St. Michael the Archangel. In an August 8 social-media post, Bishop Ferreira wrote: “Are there theological justifications for consecration to St. Michael? One consecrates oneself to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Isn’t the devil that is being fought rather imaginary? The greater exorcism should be of homophobia, femicide, racism, crimes against Indigenous peoples — of this legion of evils.” Ferreira’s comments came as dioceses across Brazil have been participating in “The Great Reconquest,” an initiative promoted by the Hesed Institute centered on devotion and consecration to St. Michael. According to ACI Digital, 34 Brazilian dioceses had been consecrated to St. Michael by August 11. #newsJjefxvmkpq
When a 'bishop' humiliates the Archangel Defender of God's Honor and is a supporter of the sin of Sodom, it means he is on the side of the fallen angels.
Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of 's-Hertogenbosch wrote on August 13 an open letter to Leo XIV. Main phrases. - Does the synodal process actually help bring souls closer to Christ and to eternal salvation? […] What has all this actually yielded? Not: how many meetings were organized? Not: how many reports were written? Not: how many people participated? But: has faith become stronger? Has Christ been proclaimed more clearly? - When one asks such questions, it is impossible to consider the Synod a success. - What once began as a 2021–2024 synod threatens to become a permanent form of governance. - The classical synod was a means. In contemporary synodal discourse, synodality threatens to become an end in itself. - The Church is not a conversation but a received reality. For the Church does not begin with our dialogue. It begins with Christ. - Christ did not set up a discussion group. He called apostles. He gave them authority. He sent them out to proclaim, baptize, and teach. - Truth is …Lebih
While christians are killed this guys call a synod to discuss selling the Church to the world, THAT is what's going on, they don’t believe, not even a gram of faith, they prefer sin.
On August 13, Pope Leo XIV appointed Francesco Cesareo, 67, president emeritus of Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts, to the Vatican Committee for Historical Sciences. He was appointed alongside Umberto Longo, who is apparently a Freemason, and Polish historian Anna Barańska. Cesareo is married and the father of three adult children. From 2007 until 2022, he served as president of Assumption University. He left to live closer to his family and first grandchild and now teaches at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Pennsylvania. "LGBTQ-Friendly" University President During Cesareo's presidency, Assumption University recognized the homosexual student organization AU Allies and was listed as “LGBTQ-friendly” by the homosexual group 'New Ways Ministry'. The clearest controversy arose in 2020. Assumption's Campus Ministry circulated the U.S. bishops' document 'Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship'. The document called for protecting marriage as the lifelong union of …Lebih
“Globalisme telah gagal memenuhi kebutuhan rakyat. Globalisme hanya melayani elit keuangan,” kata Marian Eleganti, Uskup Pembantu Emeritus Chur, kepada LaNuovaBq pada 13 Agustus. Mengenai imigrasi Muslim, ia mengatakan: “Secara pribadi, saya yakin bahwa Islam tidak dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam sistem politik kita yang dibentuk oleh agama Kristen. Tidak ada Islam yang apolitis, yang murni terdiri dari kehidupan keagamaan batiniah. Islam adalah sistem dominasi. Semakin para pengikutnya yakin akan hal ini, semakin sulit pula Islam untuk diintegrasikan. Hasilnya adalah terbentuknya masyarakat paralel.” Ia juga mengkritik pendekatan Gereja terhadap imigrasi tanpa batas: “Gereja Katolik tidak boleh mengadopsi pendekatan idealis… [yang] mengabaikan masalah-masalah sosial yang sangat nyata yang terkait dengan imigrasi tanpa batas.”
The Archdiocese of Utrecht has rejected as false rumours that Cardinal Willem Eijk, 73, could have asked Pope Leo XIV during an audience on Monday to accept his early resignation as Archbishop. “These reports are false. He has not offered his resignation,” the archdiocese told the Dutch newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad on Wednesday. An archdiocesan spokesman added that there was no basis for such speculation. The audience attracted attention because Eijk has experienced health problems in recent months and didn't attend the consistories in January and June. The archdiocese also provided an update on the cardinal’s health. “It is known that Cardinal Eijk struggled with health problems last winter,” the spokesman said. His recovery had taken longer than initially hoped, but was now progressing well. According to the archdiocese, Eijk is expected to resume his duties fully on September 1. #newsKxqihmxlwe

The cardinal described the Mass in the Roman rite as "a tremendous good in the Church" that will "never be lost". "It is for us now even at the cost of suffering to fight for it that it be as available as possible to all the faithful who desire it." #newsItmmgdutxf
Today, Bishop Emeritus Christopher Saunders, 76, of Broome was convicted of 13 homosexual offences against two young Indigenous men in Western Australia. A jury in the District Court of Western Australia found Saunders guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual penetration without consent. The jury acquitted him on six other charges. The offences for which Saunders was convicted occurred between 2008 and 2019, while he was serving as Bishop of Broome. Saunders was also convicted of offences against a second man, including sexual penetration without consent. The jury deliberated for approximately seven hours before returning the verdicts. Earlier in the trial, the judge instructed the jury that it was not necessary to return verdicts on seven charges and to disregard them because there was insufficient evidence to convict. Saunders pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied the allegations. He did not give evidence during the trial. He is due to face a sentencing …Lebih

On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Umberto Longo, Director of the Italian Historical Institute for the Middle Ages in Rome and Professor of Medieval History at the secular Sapienza University of Rome, as a member of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The online footprint of Umberto Longo repeatedly places that name - and, in later cases, an identifiable Professor Longo - within the institutional environment of Italian Freemasonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The examples span a decade. 2013 - Scottish Rite, Lazio: The Masonic publication LOGOS identifies a certain “Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°” as an officer of the Loggia di Perfezione Maestri Segreti “Giano” in Rome. The publication introduces a series of texts under the heading: “Le Tavole del Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°.” The abbreviation Fr. is used throughout for Fratello - “Brother” - while the number identifies the Scottish Rite degree. More importantly, the issue contains the official 2013 officers …Lebih
