Today, the General Secretariat of the Synod issued the preparatory framework for the October 7–14 meeting on the implementation of Amoris Laetitia between Pope Leo XIV and the presidents of the bishops' conferences. The gathering marks the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. The format is described as "synodal," involving a process of listening, prayer, and discernment. The aim is "to discern the direction in which the Holy Spirit is leading us today." The five discussion themes are: • Families today: reality, beauty and challenges • Young people and the discovery of the vocation to marriage (including cohabiting couples) • Married life: the first years of marriage—a decisive time • In the difficulties of life: accompanying and supporting • Christian families as subjects of the Church's mission The fourth theme speaks of “failure” and the “gap between the ideal and reality.” It says those who “have experienced separation and divorce” should feel listened to, involved, and co-responsible …More
(provided you are in the state of grace) and I God will give you my Divine Will. God’s Divine Will is the source of the Sacraments. Everything in existence originates and exists in the Divine Will. Imagine living in Israel in the year 0030 AD and you have just heard Jesus of Nazareth say what is now recorded in St John’s chapter 6:54 “Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.” and you return home and tell your family members what Jesus has demanded. You tell the Priests, Scribes and Pharisees of the Divinely established one true religion and what would they have said to that? And they no longer walked with him. Were the Priests of Israel ready to hear “Except you eat the flesh….”? They should have been, but they lacked grace, a love of God and an understanding of the prophetic writings. It would be tantamount to trying to feed a baby the best steak. It is impossible for at least another two years and then …More
Hosea 8:4-7, 11-13 "They sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind." Let us sow the joy of God and receive the joy of hearts. Matthew 9:32-38 "The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few." Master of the mission, please send people to evangelize. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Society of St. Pius X’s Priest Stands Defiant Against Leo XIV’s Excommunication: ‘A Future Pope Will Welcome Us Back’ On this question of validity of episcopal succession, we do not even know if the outcome of the Great Schism of 1378 was canonically accurate. Speaking of which, how is it that Catherine of Siena (a woman Caterina di Jacopo di Benincasa, March 1347 – 29 April 1380) was instrumental in restoring order to a Church fractured into disunity as it is today?
Unbox Factory Florida has officially recognized gold and silver coins as legal currency starting July 1, 2026 — reviving a debate about hard money in the digital age. The move aligns with Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, which permits states to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. While the U.S. dollar remains dominant, this decision allows certain precious metal coins to be used in transactions within the state of Florida. Important Details: • Effective July 1, 2026 • Recognizes gold & silver coins as legal tender • Does not replace the U.S. dollar • Tied to inflation-hedge arguments • Reflects broader sound-money movement • May impact tax & transaction rules 7.4K views · 139 reactions | Florida has …
Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe spoke to AdVaticanum.com on July 4 about his participation in a London Eucharist at Holy Apostles Church including a liturgical blessing for a homosexual couple. The interview is obvious gaslighting, not to say blatant lying, given that the livestream had been published on YouTube. The event was held on June 13 to mark the 50-year homosexual partnership of Julian Filochowski and Martin Pendergast, two longstanding figures in "pastoral outreach" to homosexual Catholics. The principal celebrant was Fr. Jim O'Keefe, with concelebrants including Bishop John Crowley, emeritus of Middlesbrough, and Bishop John Rawsthorne, emeritus of Hallam. "I gave no blessing to anyone" Cardinal Radcliffe claimed: "I gave no blessing to anyone and had not been aware that any blessings would be given." However, the picture above shows him making the sign of the cross during the blessing of the two homosexuals standing side by side like a married couple. The text was based on a …More
On March 5, 2023, in his cathedral of La Plata, Bishop Víctor Manuel Fernández denounced the "classifications" and "labels" canonical and moral developed by the Church. Three years later, having become prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, it is he who promulgates the decree of excommunication targeting the bishops, members, and faithful of the FSSPX following the episcopal ordinations of July 1, 2026.
"Este es así, este es asá, este puede comulgar, este no puede comulgar, a este se le puede perdonar, a este no, terrible que nos haya pasado eso en la Iglesia, gracias a Dios el papa Francisco nos ayuda a liberarnos de esos esquemas".
And now, a crucial question arises: Could the cardinals of the 1958 conclave have known whether the new Pope was resigning under duress? The answer is yes! What's more, they knew it because they were all canonists, of course. But how could this be recognised? It's quite simple! We don't see a new Pope accepting his office only to renounce it half an hour later, and what's more, only in front of the cardinals, the people having been notified of his election only by the white smoke. The cardinals should therefore have informed the new Pope that his resignation was invalid under canon 185, and that the conclave was already over because of his acceptance.

Had Pope Pius XII lived two years longer, much of the mess would not have occurred. Roncalli never would have been elected and Montini would not have been named a cardinal.
Thanks for posting this here. Think of this as each of these 10 million mourners appearing for each lukewarm Catholic. And you can understand why the Al-Aqsa mosque was built on top of the old temple.
A Papal Handshake, a Cathedral Fire, and a Murder: On July 4 in Lampedusa, Leo XIV shook the hands of 20 illegal immigrants who had just arrived in Europe. He reminded everyone that all human life carries immeasurable worth. One of his predecessor’s handshakes later took on a dark meaning. In 2016, Pope Francis shook hands with Rwandan national Emmanuel Abayisenga. In 2020, Abayisenga set fire to the 15th-century Nantes cathedral in France. In 2021, he murdered the priest who had taken him in and sheltered him after the fire.
Papst Leo schüttelte bei seinem Besuch auf Lampedusa am 4. Juli jedem dieser 20 Migranten, die gerade in Europa angekommen waren, die Hand.

Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis wrote on July 2 about the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): "In the ten years that I have led this local Church, I have met many sincere people who worship regularly or occasionally at the chapels of the SSPX within the territory of our Archdiocese. I have been impressed by the strength of their families and their commitment to traditional Catholic values." He acknowledges that the FSSPX bishops’ excommunication will affect them in a particular way and hopes they will not follow them “in separating themselves from Pope Leo XIV.” Monsignor Hebda also noted that the Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated at six locations in the Archdiocese, adding: “I am confident that those who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass could find a home here.” #newsEtakruhtwp
Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302 We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Therefore, both are in the power of the Church, namely, the spiritual sword and the material. But indeed, the latter is to be exercised on behalf of the Church; and truly, the former is to be exercised by the Church. The former is of the priest; the latter is by the hand of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest. However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority,…More
Shruti @heyshrutimishra Elon Musk just said something about AI that nobody wants to hear. If you force an AI to believe things that are not true, it will not just be wrong. It will go insane. He made a point that cuts deeper than any AI safety paper I have read. AI must value truth. Not your truth. Not my truth. Actual truth. The moment you build ideological guardrails into a system that is smarter than you, you are not protecting anyone. You are creating something that is powerful and delusional at the same time. He compared it to a human being forced to believe contradictions. Eventually the brain breaks. Now scale that to an intelligence that runs infrastructure, writes code, and makes decisions at speeds humans cannot follow. The companies building AI right now are not just deciding what it can do. They are deciding what it must pretend to believe. And that might be the most dangerous decision of all.

Unlocking Catholic Social Teaching: Dr. Martinez Introduces the Ave Maria Economics Course "God did not call us from the eyebrows down—He wants us to use our brains." Dr. Gabriel Martinez joins us to shatter the myth of the 'divided life' in business and economics. Every financial, corporate, or political decision we make isn't just a technical choice—it's a deeply human, moral decision. Dr. Gabriel Martinez, economics professor at Ave Maria University, steps into the living room to introduce a groundbreaking, completely free online resource: the Ave Maria Economics Course, hosted by The Pursuit of Wisdom. Condensing three full semesters of dense academic material into seven clear, highly accessible lectures, Dr. Martinez bridges the gap between modern market principles and the foundational pillars of Catholic Social Teaching. He unpacks why popular political ideologies often distort Church teaching by overemphasizing one truth (like human dignity or solidarity) while completely abandoning …More
