The Roman Rite Returns to Another Monastery: Today, twelve Benedictine monks from Le Barroux officially established a new monastic community at Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine Abbey in western France. Founded in the early 12th century, the abbey was home to Trappist monks from 1816 until their departure in 2025. Fr. Raphaël, the new prior, paid tribute to the departing community: "The monastery is in very good condition. The brothers cared for it until the very end, always hoping they could remain." And: "Our liturgy will be celebrated in Latin and Gregorian chant. There will be those who like it and those who do not. Each person must discern for himself."
Douze moines de l’abbaye du Barroux, dans le Vaucluse, s’installeront aujourd’hui à l’abbaye Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine, en Maine-et-Loire, relançant ainsi une vie bénédictine interrompue depuis 1642, après le départ des moines trappistes en 2025.

Spanish Archbishop Rejects Opposition to Mosque: Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses of Seville addressed the proposed mosque in the city at a press conference on Friday. He cited Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16 of the Spanish Constitution, and Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae, emphasizing that religious freedom is both a universal and constitutional right. He added that these rights must be exercised in accordance with state, regional, local, and municipal law. His remarks come as Seville City Council has postponed a decision on the mosque's building permit while seeking additional technical and legal reports following objections from the political party Vox.
Los obispos que hace no mucho hablaban de la ‘Prioridad del Evangelio’ contra posiciones políticas, ahora hablan de “constitución” y “libertad religiosa” frente a la construcción de macromezquitas y centros médicos que hablan de ‘Prioridad musulmana’.
The Roman Rite Revived a Church Planned for Demolition: The church St. Francis de Sales in St. Louis, Missouri, was facing demolition after its parish closed in 2005.

Today, the church regularly attracts more than 700 worshippers each Sunday, many of whom are young adults and families.

Many bishops in the USA (and elsewhere) forbid Catholics from attending Mass in chapels belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, yet they welcome schismatics and homosexuals. Three examples: Arlington Bishop: FSSPX Sacraments Are "Invalid" Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, instructed Catholics to “avoid participating in the activities of the FSSPX.” In a letter dated 8 July, he wrote that "any celebrations of the sacraments of confession and matrimony by the FSSPX are invalid, and the administration of other sacraments is illicit". In September 2025, Bishop Burbidge said that his meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew was “incredible,” and marked a “historic moment of Christian unity”. Covington Bishop: FSSPX Mass Is "Abuse of Eucharist" Bishop John Iffert of Covington, Kentucky, said in a recent statement that the sacraments from the FSSPX are “illicit”: “The Masses these priests celebrate are an abuse of the Eucharist, insofar as they make the …Ọzọ
Doesn't Rome recognize the confessions and marriages of the schismatic Orthodox as valid? So if the SSPX is in schism, it should be given the same favor.
On 28 June, the closing day of Munich "Pride" weekend, the Cathedral of Munich, Germany, hosted its first Christopher Street Day (CSD) Youth Liturgy. The liturgy included scripture readings, prayers, music and personal blessings.

He said: "I've not prepared a speech, because, I am hungry - hungry for justice, for authentic charity, for a Church that knows how to open its doors, welcome people, and care for everyone."

Speaking off-the-cuff at lunch with 200 poor people from the Diocese of Rome, and welcoming them to the Pontifical gardens of Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV says: “I didn’t prepare a speech because I am hungry. I’m hungry for justice, I’m hungry for authentic charity, I’m hungry for a Church that knows how to opens its doors, welcomes and looks after everyone.”
Barnabás Márk THE MAN WHO WORKED WITH ADMIRAL BYRD REVEALS WHAT’S REALLY HIDDEN INSIDE THE EARTH John B. Leith claims to have been a radio operator under the command of Admiral Richard Byrd. According to his testimony, Byrd revealed a major classified discovery to him: A pilot would have entered inside the Earth for 1,200 miles (about 1,900 km). No molten core, as we’re taught, but continents and seas inside, comparable to those on the surface. He would have taken 300 photographs of these hidden lands. In 1940, thanks to recovered documents, he would have set off again with a round-wing plane (“round wing plane”), crossed through the Earth, and emerged through a 125-mile opening at the South Pole. Leith specifies that if he says too much, his life is in danger. He claims to have already survived three assassination attempts, to have been poisoned, and that people have been sent to kill him. This testimony aligns with numerous accounts surrounding Admiral Byrd and his secret expeditions …Ọzọ
Poor grandma. Thank GOD for the Russian soldiers. I have posted several posts about the treatment of Ukraine soldiers and zelensky. Now hear more proof how cruel Ukrainian soldiers were. There were a few video's where some, very few Ukraine soldiers who weren't cruel and even half decent to the people. It's not all. but the majority of these men who were cruel to the people. This video is mild compared to others I posted.
In an interview with a teenager and her Aunt, they were trying to explain what really happened in Georgia. That it was the Georgian government who started the war and killing their own people. But fake news kept cutting them off, or going to commercial. They finally cut them off and said, they were done. But the Aunt and teenager rushed in, the Russian soldiers saved many lives. We thank them for all they did for our families and others. The Aunt got in. during one of their breaks. Yes! You don't want the people to know the truth do you! But in the end they said what they had to say. Just like in Crimea when they went their to find at least one person who was against it. They found NO ONE at all. With one man saying. President Putin is our Commander in Chief. They were not happy at all. Oh! Well.
What do you think of that? Archbishop Lenga just said: SSPX excommunications mean nothing before God. He called the real schismatics "cardinals and bishops inside the Vatican" – and said Pope Leo no longer represents the Church that leads souls to salvation.
