Leo XIV’s Amoris Laetitia meeting: “Families that fall short of the ideal of marriage can manifest Christian virtues”. Today, Véronique Lonchamp addressed the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia. She is responsible for family ministry at the French Bishops’ Conference. She said that attitudes such as fidelity [!] and mercy can be manifested in any family seeking to live the Gospel, even when “its situation does not fully correspond to the Christian ideal of marriage.” Lonchamp also listed “pastoral” initiatives that have emerged in France over the past decade under the influence of Amoris Laetitia. Her list included: “The contribution of couples to the development of diocesan guidelines for accompanying separated or divorced persons or those who have entered a new union.” Lonchamp did not specify which dioceses were involved or what the guidelines contain. #newsSdnabbqteu
Gloria.tv is disgusting! They are already digging up dirt on Bishop Cota to smear him. He probably said something about a "synodal Church" or an "open Church"—which, to Gloria.tv and its minions, makes him a heretic.
Detroit Archbishop Edward Weisenburger declared that “sins against creation are among the very serious sins” at a September 30 synodal listening session. He criticized the Trump administration's removal of electric vehicle tax incentives and urged Catholics to “cooperate with creation,” invoking Pope Leo XIV. The meeting's findings will be forwarded through the Catholic Climate Covenant to the Vatican. Monsignor Weisenburger, who severely restricted the Traditional Latin Mass in Detroit in 2025, now champions environmental initiatives inspired by Laudato Si’.
So the Catholic faith was always very important to you? Definitely. I altar served throughout grade school. Actually, I even served a couple Masses at college at Pitt. Like I said, the nuns were tough, but it was really good for me. Everything has changed because they don’t get the vocations anymore. They need the vocations in order to do what they have to do.
Cardinal Joseph Zen has welcomed Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s reflections on a “hostile takeover” within the Catholic Church. “Thank you, Bishop Schneider, for sharing such an interesting anecdote and your reflections,” Cardinal Zen wrote on X on October 11. Zen was referring to Schneider’s recollection of a conversation between the two prelates, during which Zen revealed that his favourite Gregorian chant was the Introit for Sexagesima Sunday: “Exsúrge, quare obdórmis, Dómine?” - “Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord?” Bishop Schneider recalled how Zen had explained that the melody places particular emphasis on Exsúrge — “Arise!” — conveying an urgent appeal for divine intervention. Schneider also recounted an incident in Rome in which Cardinal Zen had attempted to persuade another cardinal on an important matter concerning the Church. When the other cardinal remained stubborn and unimpressed, Zen began singing the same Gregorian chant directly to him: “Wake up, why are you sleeping? Wake up!” …Күберәк

Choose Christ’s Freedom Over Satan’s Slavery The new covenant, as described by St. Paul, offers freedom from the slavery of sin and the opportunity to live according to the will of God. This freedom, however, comes with responsibility and requires a choice between living in the truth and love of God and neighbor, or succumbing to the selfishness and slavery of sin and Satan. The question posed is whether we truly desire this freedom and are willing to accept the gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ. Fr.

False religions are false and fake. A phony or counter fit dollar bill has no value whatsoever. The same thing is true about false and pseudo fake religions.
The irony: Glasgow's archdiocesan newspaper entitled Flourish - meaning “to thrive” or “to blossom” - announces plans to halve the archdiocese's roughly 80 parishes and close 24 churches. Under the front-page headline “We Must Face Up to Reality”, the October issue of Flourishdetails the largest parish restructuring in Glasgow's history. Many mergers and closures are expected within five years, others within a decade. The proposals were approved by Archbishop William Nolan and his council of priests. Since Nolan took office in 2022, the number of active priests has fallen by a third. Most are over 60, while only ONE priest is under 45. Archdiocesan communications director Ronnie Convery warned that, on current projections, Glasgow could have just eight active priests in twenty years. #newsHbkzquamnc
Inclusion of adulterers and “persons identifying as LGBTQ” called for at the current Vatican meeting on Amoris Laetitia. American Catholic moral theologian Prof. Julie Hanlon Rubio addressed the Vatican’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia on October 12. Rubio recounted the case of an elderly woman with dementia who refused Communion because her husband had previously been married. The woman, she said, remembered that “she was not worthy to receive the Body of Christ.” Rubio presented the story as evidence that feelings of exclusion persist. She also quoted Francis’s assertion that “the fact that … love [!] is imperfect doesn’t mean it’s false or unreal,” adding that human fragility is “not a problem to be solved but a fundamental element of our humanity to be integrated.” Rubio again cited Francis: “No one can be condemned forever! It is not the logic of the Gospel!” She said “this principle” should apply to “everyone.” In a footnote, she specified whom she believed …Күберәк
Here, not only is God's help denied in the temporary separation of a married couple, but also the punishment for mortal sins and the existence of hell.
They could not find ONE repentant adulterer/ess? I'll tell you this, they weren't even looking. I know many who's stories will drop your jaw at the goodness of our Lord and His glory speaking to them and saving their families, when all seemed lost, and so much damage done. A reconciled family is a JOY to behold!! It is a blasphemy that God's Glory and Grace are repeatedly denied testimiony in His Own Church.
Communiqué from the General House: The appeal against the decree of excommunication is proceeding in Rome
The appeal against the decree of excommunication of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) is ongoing – no further details disclosed. On October 13, the FSSPX published a communiqué stating that the appeal against the July excommunication has been pursued, in accordance with the procedures established by the canon law of 1983. “Through these actions, the bishops of the Society intend to exercise the right recognized by the Church, requesting an examination of the legal and doctrinal objections they have raised against the documents of July 2.” Pending a response from the “competent authorities” regarding these proceedings, the FSSPX will maintain the discretion required by the nature of these procedures. #newsEabeiftheh
On October 6, former councilman Matt Dalbey, a member of The Satanic Temple, opened a city council meeting in Ottumwa, Iowa, with a text ending in "Hail Satan." Local pastor Rick Bick condemned it as a curse and demanded it be reversed. Mayor Benjamin Foote called for 30 seconds of silence. The city defended its policy allowing residents of different beliefs to deliver opening prayers, stressing that it cannot discriminate based on religion and does not necessarily endorse speakers' views.
LiveLeak Clashes and fires near Brussels-Midi station during national strike day: hundreds of youths, fireworks mortars, about ten arrests. Hundreds of young people clashed with police around Brussels-Midi station on the afternoon of Oct. 12, on the sidelines of a national strike day and a student gathering, Belga reported. Police said officers were targeted with projectiles and mortar-type fireworks fired by several individuals, some masked, and responded with tear gas and a water cannon. A strike meant to be a labor action turned into street confrontation in a district with a history of unrest, with a young crowd and pyrotechnics rather than organized unions at the center.

The Catholic archbishop responsible for U.S. military personnel said it is “morally acceptable” for service members to disobey an order if it is against their own conscience, as the Trump administration weighs possible troop deployments to Minneapolis, and the use of force to seize Greenland.
The real issue here is how very precious few people have a well-formed conscience. The average person is so out of touch with reality that most will confuse feelings or ideals with conscience.
Should sinners conform to the Church’s moral ideal - or should the Church move closer to them? Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David of the Philippines addressed the Vatican’s 10th-anniversary Amoris Laetitia meeting on October 12 in a video presentation. He said the exhortation encouraged pastors “to discern concrete situations rather than begin with classifications, to accompany gradual growth, and to trust that grace can already be at work even in lives and relationships marked by weakness and incompleteness.” And: “Not simply to ask how close families are to the ideal, but also how close the Church is willing to come to families in their actual struggles.” During the Vatican's meeting, terms such as “weakness,” “incompleteness,” and “vulnerability” are used as blatant euphemisms for adultery and other sexual sins.

In France, Leo XIV told different audiences what they want to hear: reassuring conservatives while also offering a positive interpretation of the French Revolution's ideals. Polish priest and philosopher Andrzej Kobyliński observed talking to Jan Pospieszalski on October 6 about Leo XIV's France trip: “The various statements during this pilgrimage were addressed to different groups in France. In a sense, everyone got what they wanted. There were statements affirming the value of tradition, but there were also very positive words about the interpretation of the slogan ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.’" And: "There was not a single critical remark - which also surprised me greatly - about the heart of the dispute. That is, concerning the Enlightenment project and the legacy of the French Revolution. That was completely missing."
