Australia's Bishops have approved a liturgy that includes elements of Aboriginal language and culture.
A motion was passed at the plenary meeting of the Australian Bishops' Conference in Sydney on Tuesday. It is called the "Mass of the Land of the Holy Spirit - Missa Terrae Spiritus Sancti".
The rite will now be submitted to the Dicastery for Divine Worship for official approval by the Vatican, which approves everything that is not Catholic.
The Eucharist has been used in the Diocese of Broome for over 50 years with very mediocre results. It is presided over in several local languages, and was approved in 1973 as a 'culturally adapted' liturgy 'ad experimentum' [that is, for ever].
A local Aboriginal Council described the rite as "a distinctive Mass that beautifully blends Catholic tradition with Aboriginal culture to create a unique celebration of faith [in what?] that has served the diocese for over five decades".
"It symbolises a bridge that connects our spiritual beliefs with the …More

St. Patrick's Church in Belfast, Ireland, was turned into a cinema on 7 May to show the film "Young Frankenstein", an American parody of the classic horror film genre with no pretence of serious content.
The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the film. The £10-a-seat event was sold out. It is officially forbidden to hold chargeable events in churches.
The organisers said: "We can't think of a better venue than the truly gothic St Patrick's Church for this celebration of one of the funniest and most cinematically beautiful films of all time!"
No one disputes that a parody is perfectly suited to a church that makes itself a parody of the Church.

The decadent Vatican is teaming up with the 'Fratelli Tutti Foundation' to host the second 'World Meeting on Human Fraternity' (May 10-11).
Knowing that nobody is interested in this, the Vatican turns the event into a concert hoping to attract people in this way. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of St Peter's, announced the programme at a press conference on 7 May. According to the Fratelli Tutti Foundation, this 2024 event follows on from the supposed "success of last year".
In reality, that first meeting, which took place in June 2023, featured the homosexual dancer Roberto Bolle and was an embarrassing flop in terms of attendance (pictures).
Speakers in 2024 include winners of the discredited Nobel Peace Prize, political activists, economist Jeffrey Sachs and Nelson Mandela's wife Graca Machel Mandela. Francis will lead an event with children in the Vatican's new Synod Hall.
The closing concert on the steps of St Peter's on 11 May will feature Italian composer Giovanni Allevi, …More

Mathias Fuchs, a lay pastoral assistant who dresses like a pseudo-priest, presided over a "heavy metal service" on 3 May at St Martin's Church in Bruchsal, Archdiocese of Freiburg, Germany.
The archdiocese supported the project morally and financially. Freiburg is the archdiocese where Archbishop Georg Gänswein, who was expelled from Rome, resides.
Fuchs explained on the archdiocese's social media account that his show was "not a concert", but a church service with music. This includes singing along, clapping, dancing and 'headbanging'.
According to Fuchs, God is "where it is loud, where people are happy, where they are together". The heavy metal noise was provided by the local band 'Metal GodZ' [a blasphemy?].

The electronic baptismal register of the Gurk-Klagenfurt diocese in Austria lists three imaginary genders in addition to the two existing ones.
When registering a baptism, a priest can choose from five options:
- male
- female
- mixed
- diverse
- open
- not specified The majority of priests don't even know what the imaginary genders would mean and have never heard of them before their diocese invented them. A priest who complained to the diocesan office responsible for the form was told that the office had "no influence". Since the Second Vatican Council, the diocese of Glurk-Kagenfurt has lost over 40% of its priests and the trend is continuing. #newsPzcaahqeyf

On 8 May, Francis received in private audience Mundiya Kepanga, chief of a tribal community in the Tari region of Papua New Guinea.
Francis will visit the country from 6 to 9 September.
Mundiya Kepanga belongs to the Telabo Angi Puria clan, part of the Huli tribe, known previously for magic, witchcraft and cannibalism.
He only appears in his funny dress for photo ops. Otherwise he is an activist for the oligarchs and other champagne socialists, promoting their climate hysteria, often travelling by plane around the world.

While Francis' administration in the Vatican wallows in homosexual fantasies, Ghana's bishops are advocating mandatory conversion therapy for homosexuals.
At the end of February, Ghanaian lawmakers unanimously passed the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Act, which makes advertisement for homosexuality illegal and punishable by up to five years in prison. Homosexual acts are already illegal.
President Nana Akufo-Addo has yet to sign the bill into law, under pressure from decadent Western regimes. He said he would wait for a ruling from the Supreme Court before signing the bill. A citizen challenged the constitutionality of the bill.
Ghana's bishops have backed the bill. On Palm Sunday, Bishop Alfred Agyenta of Navrongo-Bolgatanga encouraged President Akufo-Addo to sign the bill into law because it represents the will of the Ghanaian people.
He reminded the President that "it was fear that forced Pilate to give in to the demands of the high priests and those who wanted Jesus Christ …More

The Carthusian monastery of St Hugh in Parkminster, West Sussex, England, has announced a huge investment to "protect the environment" and "respect the planet".
According to CartusiaLover.wordpress.com (8 May), 500 photovoltaic panels will be installed to supply their 240-acre site with supposedly 'free', 'clean' and 'silent' solar energy.
The Carthusians of Parkminster are also investing in a battery to store excess electricity for use when the panels are not generating.
Jason Lindfield, director of OHM Energy Solutions, said in a recent interview that the monks' system will pay for itself in less than seven years and seven months (sic).
The expected energy yield is 231,650 kWh with an annual saving of £27,196.

Armed Muslims attacked twelve Catholic students as they prayed the rosary in a residential area on the outskirts of Jakarta, Indonesia.
The video of the incident (below), posted by KatolikG on Twitter.com, went viral on social media on 6 May. The students at Pamulang University in the southern city of Tangerang were conducting a house-to-house rosary on 5 May.
"As a result, two female students were injured and a Muslim man was assaulted for defending the students," said Siprianus Edi Hardum, a Catholic lawyer providing legal assistance to the students.
One of the injured students said that the group praying the rosary was confronted by the local head of the neighbourhood association. He told them: "If you want to pray, go to church, like we Muslims pray in the mosque."
The man left and returned with a mob that attacked the students. The victims were saved from further harm only because other Muslims came to their aid.
Throughout Europe, especially in London and Paris, Muslims pray in …More

Monsignor Cerro Chaves, Archbishop of Toledo, Spain, sanctions Rev. Francisco Delgado for alleged "dissatisfaction with the person and ministry of the Holy Father" which objectively would be justified.
Delgado wrote on Twitter.com (7 May): "By direct order of my archbishop, I am forced to suspend my activity on all networks and to suspend my participation in the media. I am not doing this of my own free will".
The priest defends himself against a "slander" of which he hopes to be able to give more details one day: "In spite of the persecution, I continue to maintain my intention to be faithful to the Church of Christ and to its visible head, who is Pope Francis".
Rev. Delgado was part of the online programme "La Sacristía de la Vendée". In it, several priests who wear cassocks and who have studied together at the then conservative Toledo seminary, joked that Francis, 87, might soon go to heaven, which is a bad wish only for those who have lost Christian faith and hope.

Churches are good for everything except celebrating the Mass according to the Roman Rite, which Francis' Traditionis Custodes wants to "ban".
The latest gag: Bettina Filacanavo, 50, a journalist posing as an "art student", sits for three hours on the altar of St Matthias church in Steinhausen, Switzerland. The church was built in the 17th century.
The first session took place on 4 May. It will be repeated on 26 May, with Filacanavo wearing a blue dress with a veil. When she is normal, she works as a spokeswoman for a Protestant aid organisation.
The title of the performance, which depicts Our Lady of Mercy (German: Schutzmantelmadonna) who is protecting people, is "Mothers". The idea - to fight against war and rearmament in Europe - would not be bad if it were not mixed with blasphemy and infantile feminist prejudices. To quote: "Mary, who experienced all this suffering - war, flight, loss of her child - stands in my work as a woman of resistance. She stands for all women who resist …More

The world's first invalid deaconess is Harare Angelic Molen. Orthodox Archbishop Serafim of Zimbabwe, who belongs to the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, invalidly "ordained" her on 2 May.
Serafim told OrthodoxDeaconess.org: "She will do what the deacon does in the liturgy and all the sacraments in our Orthodox services."
Already in 2016, the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and the whole of Africa decided to "allow" women to be "deacons". Molen works at St Nektarios Parish in Harare. She studies geography and "environmental sciences".
According to her, "the earth is a sacred (sic) gift from God". She insists that "we must protect it from harm and live in harmony with plants, animals and all living things".
Speaking about her fake diaconal ordination, Molen said, "At first I was nervous about entering the altar, but when Metropolitan Serafim blessed me to enter the altar as part of my preparation this week, those feelings went away and I felt comfortable. I am ready".

The Archdiocese of Nairobi, Kenya, "allowed" a polygamist, Patrick Ndachu, to marry in a church in Kiambu County on 5 May, reports TheKenyaTimes.com.
The archdiocese is headed by Archbishop Philip Anyolo, 67. A priest celebrated the alleged "marriage" between Ndachu and Margaret while Dina, Ndachu's second concubine, was in the pews. Dina agreed to the [pseudo] wedding on the condition that Ndachu divide his property between his two families.
Ndachu and Margaret "married" outside the Church in the 1970s, started a family, and have remained together for more than four decades. Ndachu later "married" Dina in the same way, with whom he also has children.
Local media report that it took five years to get "permission" for the polygamous wedding to take place.
"In the Church it is not allowed to marry two women. But when we are outside, I will announce to the world that I have two wives and I love them both," Ndachu said: "I did not want to hide anything. I asked them [whom?] to allow me to …More

The Vatican's Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, headed by Cardinal Miguel Ayuso Guixot, sent a message on 6 May to Buddhists celebrating 'Vesak', a festival commemorating Buddha's birth, enlightenment and passing [i.e.: descent into hell].
The message expresses the belief that Christians and Buddhists can work together to promote peace, reconciliation and resilience, "values deeply rooted in our respective religious traditions". In real life, there is no way to peace without Christ, the Prince of Peace.
It even speaks of the "noble teachings of our respective traditions" and believes that "the rituals and worship appropriate to our respective religious traditions" promote reconciliation and resilience.
In reality, Buddhist ideas are wrong and their rituals are demon worship, while the Vatican fights against "the rituals and worship" according to the Roman Rite, which originated with Christ and the apostles.
The message quotes Paul VI, Desmond Tutu, Buddha, St Paul and St Francis (…More

In another pointless private audience, Pope Francis gave another pointless interview to "La Freccia" (May 4), the free on-board magazine of the Italian railways. Apparently, Francis is an advertising partner of the company.
He reiterated his regret that he cannot use public transport as he did in Argentina: "Today it's one of the habits I miss the most (sic)". The reality: The Vatican has a train station, and Francis could reach all his many destinations in Italy by train, but he prefers private helicopters.
One semi-interesting statement was his call for a climate state religion. He believes that "everyone" should "change their lifestyle" and that governments have "not done enough" to promote climate hysteria.
"The whole of society [who is "society"?] must exert healthy pressure, because it is up to every family to think that the future of their own sons and daughters is at stake."
"Healthy pressure" is another word for state terror, a method used by Bergoglio in the Vatican.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil, will inaugurate on 11 May the mosaics of its southern façade, all created by Father Marko Rupnik.
The Sanctuary is the largest shrine in Brazil and the second largest church in the world after St Peter's.
The south façade is the second of the church's four façades to be covered with Father Rupnik's artefacts. The northern facade is Rupnik's largest work to date, covering an area of 40,000 m2. It has been unveiled to the public in March 2022.
Francis consistently protects Rupnik, who was credibly accused of fornicating with dozens of nuns. He was very briefly excommunicated and immediately recycled by Francis as a Vatican Lenten preacher.
One of his victims, Gloria Branciani, had a nine-year affair with Rupnik which she now describes as a "descent into hell". She told OsvNews.com (30 April) that "with Rupnik, the sexual dimension cannot be separated from the creative experience". According to her, "when he portrayed me, he explained that I …More

Rev. John Hunwicke, an Oxford scholar, linguist, and former Anglican parson who became a Catholic priest in 2012 for the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, died on April 30, after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Since 2022, his ill health and heart made it difficult for him to walk and breathe. He was a highly learned, truly listening and kind man who showed deep respect even for his theological enemies. In his spare time, he could be found reading the classics and Latin and Greek poetry.
For thirty years, he taught Latin and Greek. He described himself as stern teacher but he was also humorous and entertaining. Rev. Hunwicke used his erudition to defend the Roman Rite. Before the failed Novus Ordo was introduced, Hunwicke learned the Roman Rite when he still was an Anglican seminarian at St Stephen's House in Oxford.
Joseph Shaw, president of the English Latin Mass Society, writes in an obituary that Hunwicke, then an Anglican parson, joined the society as a friend, since only …More

The Institute of Christ the King (ICRSS) regularly celebrates Pontifical Masses around the world. Examples from Eastertide (pictures below):

An altar server at San Dominic Savio Parish, Archdiocese of Bogotá, Colombia, observed in April during Communion that a woman was taking the host with her hands, bringing it back to the pews and sharing it with her pet which was with her in the church.
At least the dog didn't take the communion with his paw. In his sermon on 28 April (video below), the parish priest, Reverend Laureano Barón, called it a "sacrilege" and urged the anonymous woman to go to confession with the bishop, who alone can absolve this "grave" sin in confession.
Rev. Barón has nothing against it when the faithful take communion with their hand, but they should put it into their mouth in front of the priest. He also mentioned a mother who took a piece of her host and gave it to her little boy, who had asked for it "to know what it tastes like". Strangely, the priest is surprised: "It seems that we do not understand that we are facing the greatest miracle in the world".
But then, Barón himself distributes communion …More

Robin Ward, an Anglican author, lay priest and Rector of St Stephen's House, Oxford, published on Twitter.com (2 May) a picture of a woman dressed as a "deacon" distributing communion at an Orthodox service in Zimbabwe.
The church, whose location is unclear, is said to belong to the tiny Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa under Greek-born Theodore II (Nikolaos Khoreftakis), who also likes to call himself "Pope".
The Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria introduced deaconesses in November 2016 under the pretext of reviving an "ancient practice" that in reality never existed. Much less is it an "ancient practice" for a deacon, not even a validly ordained one, to distribute Holy Communion.
The Orthodox are self-governing churches. So everyone does what they want. This is why many Orthodox groups are at odds with each other.
