Tucho’s new document contradicts John Paul II. Today, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, headed by the soft-porn author and Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández, has published Venite ad Me (“Come to Me”), a document on transmitting the Catholic faith. He disclaims “terminological precision and systematic treatment,” instead adopting a more discursive approach. Tucho creates a contrast between faith and its doctrinal formulations. Paragraph 29 of the document states: “The faith is not transmitted primarily as a body of doctrinal content or religious information, but as a form of ecclesial life into which the believer is gradually introduced.” Tucho’s document uses a “not primarily X, but Y” construction, whereas John Paul II explicitly warns against opposing doctrinal instruction and Christian life. In his 1979 apostolic exhortation 'Catechesi Tradendae', the pope wrote that "no opposition is to be set up between a catechesis taking life as its point of departure and a …Sateruse

THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS 2. "Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with Me in paradise." (Lk 23:43) St. Luke writes that of the two thieves who were [282] crucified with Jesus Christ, one continued obstinate, the other was converted; and seeing his miserable companion blaspheming Jesus Christ, and saying, If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us, he turned and reproved him, saying that they were deservedly punished, but that Jesus was innocent. Then he turned to Jesus himself and said, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom …Sateruse
The Church knew in the 1950s that Abbé Pierre was a “seriously sick man”. For decades, Abbé Pierre was revered as France's champion of the poor. But behind his public image as a celebrated humanitarian, Church leaders knew of serious psychiatric problems and allegations of sexual abuse. Historians Axelle Brodiez-Dolino and Bruno Dumons examined Church archives for a new book. In an interview with La Croix (October 17), Brodiez-Dolino discussed their findings. She states that Abbé Pierre was bipolar, while stressing that this does not explain his sexual misconduct. His childhood was marked by unwanted sexual touching by older boys, attraction to boys during adolescence, and a family scandal involving his aunt’s conviction for murdering her husband. In 1955, reports of sexual touching of women during a US visit reached Rome. The Vatican investigated Abbé Pierre over sexual misconduct and also financial irregularities, but imposed only mild sanctions in 1957. Brodiez-Dolino concludes from …Sateruse

The celebrity priest Fr. Chad Ripperger had his ministry restricted as early as 2025. An investigation published by his critics at WherePeterIs.com on October 20 documents earlier restrictions Fr Ripperger by the Archdiocese of Denver. Fr Ripperger is known for attributing various psychological conditions, temptations, and behaviors to demonic influence. He has associated named demons with abortion, homosexuality, sloth, and other matters, and has described obtaining information about demons by questioning them during alleged exorcisms. In a 2018 lecture, Ripperger claimed that cases of bipolar disorder were actually cases of demonic obsession. Then-Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver initiated an investigation in March 2025. It followed a complaint from a family whose relative stopped taking psychiatric medication after following Ripperger's advice and subsequently suffered severe, reportedly irreversible harm. Following the investigation, formal canonical restrictions were imposed in …Sateruse
I have had issues with Fr. Ripperger for years. Primarily the fact that he encounters demons and understands the diabolic, but he cannot see the demonic crisis in the church?? He goes out of his way to critique and criticize the SSPX and the REAL need for the consecrations. +Abp. Lefebvre's quote about the FSSP and any group or priest who will compromise, hits the nail on the head "They are shaking hands with the Church’s destroyers. They are shaking hands with people holding modernist and liberal ideas condemned by the Church. So they are doing the devil’s work.”
Ripperger recounts developing severe gout after meeting a woman he believed was possessed. He says medication did not help, but performing a minor exorcism on himself made the gout disappear. He attributes the illness to a curse.

Unmasking the cult of Stalin In 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones traveled to the Soviet Union to investigate rumors of events in Ukraine. What he uncovered was an immense man-made famine and one of the greatest crimes of the twentieth century—the Holodomor. Despite millions of deaths, Kremlin propagandists and other Soviet-friendly Western journalists downplayed and denied his reporting. Mr. Jones, a new movie directed by Agnieszka Holland, explores the incredible story of Jones’ struggle to expose the horrors occurring under Joseph Stalin at a time when Western reports were laudatory. The Holodomor stands out as one of the greatest tragedies of the Soviet regime, with Ukraine still fighting for its recognition and understanding of this dark chapter.
