The episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in Écône on July 1 have revived an old question: how many Catholics are attached to the FSSPX? The answer is surprisingly elusive. Depending on the source, estimates range from around 100,000 to as many as 600,000 faithful worldwide. The FSSPX itself continues to publish the figure of 600,000 faithful. However, the number of 600,000 comes from a speech delivered in 2007 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. Speaking to the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, he stated that the "Lefebvrian group" consisted of four bishops, 500 priests and 600,000 faithful. The number is difficult to reconcile with the FSSPX’s infrastructure. The FSSPX has approximately 730 priests, about 180 priories and houses, and 750 chapels and Mass centres. Many of these chapels are small mission stations where Mass is celebrated only once or twice a month with few faithful. In 2019, Fr Pascal …Ebisinga

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth. Women is the Church . River of sin and rebellion . Earthquakes sign rebellion coming to end get on the Ark of salvation .You never know the time of your judgement
So many earthquakes and disasters. One after the other. We are getting closer everyday. It is growing more and more. Yet still in the beginning. So much more is yet to happen. Will there be a time when everything will hit us all at once? War, famine, disease etc.
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 …Ebisinga
Book of Hosea 8,4-7.11-13. Thus says the LORD: They made kings, but not by my authority; they established princes, but without my approval. With their silver and gold they made idols for themselves, to their own destruction. Cast away your calf, O Samaria! my wrath is kindled against them; How long will they be unable to attain innocence in Israel? The work of an artisan no god at all, Destined for the flames-- such is the calf of Samaria! When they sow the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind; The stalk of grain that forms no ear can yield no flour; Even if it could, strangers would swallow it. When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin, his altars became occasions of sin. Though I write for him my many ordinances, they are considered as a stranger's. Though they offer sacrifice, immolate flesh and eat it, the LORD is not pleased with them. He shall still remember their guilt and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
Buch Hosea 8,4-7.11-13. So spricht der Herr: Sie setzen in Israel Könige ein, aber gegen meinen Willen; sie wählen Regierende aus, doch ich erkenne sie nicht an. Sie machen sich Götzen aus ihrem Silber und Gold – damit es vernichtet wird. Samaria, dein Kalb ist verworfen. Mein Zorn ist entbrannt gegen sie; wie lange noch sind sie unfähig zur Reinheit? Denn von Israel kommt es: Ein Handwerker hat es gemacht – ein Gott ist es nicht. Ja, zu Splittern soll es werden, das Kalb von Samaria. Denn Wind säen sie und ernten Sturm. Ein Halm ohne Ähren bringt kein Mehl. Und wenn er es brächte – verschlingen würden es Fremde. Efraim hat viele Altäre gebaut, um zu sündigen, ja, Altäre zum Sündigen sind sie ihm geworden. Wieder und wieder schreibe ich meine Weisung auf für ihn – angesehen wird sie wie die eines Fremden. Schlachtopfer, die mir dargebracht werden sollen, schlachten sie und essen das Fleisch selbst. Der HERR hat kein Gefallen an ihnen. Jetzt wird er ihrer Schuld gedenken und sie heimsuchen …Ebisinga
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 …Ebisinga

Are there no true artists in the Church anymore? Must we be inundated always and forever with these garbage images that hold not a microcosm of the Church’s beauty and beliefs, nor the regal majesty of the Papal Office?
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
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9,32-38. A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He drives out demons by the prince of demons." Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." WOG
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Matthäus - Mt 9,32-38. In jener Zeit brachte man zu Jesus einen Stummen, der von einem Dämon besessen war. Er trieb den Dämon aus und der Stumme konnte reden. Alle Leute staunten und sagten: So etwas ist in Israel noch nie gesehen worden. Die Pharisäer aber sagten: Mit Hilfe des Anführers der Dämonen treibt er die Dämonen aus. Jesus zog durch alle Städte und Dörfer, lehrte in ihren Synagogen, verkündete das Evangelium vom Reich und heilte alle Krankheiten und Leiden. Als er die vielen Menschen sah, hatte er Mitleid mit ihnen; denn sie waren müde und erschöpft wie Schafe, die keinen Hirten haben. Da sagte er zu seinen Jüngern: Die Ernte ist groß, aber es gibt nur wenig Arbeiter. Bittet also den Herrn der Ernte, Arbeiter für seine Ernte auszusenden!
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.

Bishop Terry R. LaValley of Ogdensburg, New York State, has issued a pastoral letter declaring that the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) is . following the unauthorized ordination of four bishops - in "formal schism" with the Church. In a letter dated July 1, Bishop LaValley instructed Catholics in the Diocese of Ogdensburg not to participate in FSSPX liturgies or receive sacraments from FSSPX clergy. He directed Catholics to avoid activities at St. Therese Chapel in Nicholville, New York, as well as any schools operated by the FSSPX. Instead, Catholics seeking the Mass in the Roman rite should attend liturgies celebrated in "full communion" with the Church at St. Mary's Church in Potsdam or St. Mary's Church in Evans Mills. The letter also extends an invitation to FSSPX priests who may not wish to participate in what the bishop described as a break with the See of Peter, stating that the Diocese would assist those seeking to remain within the Catholic Church. #newsVhnkjwpivc …Ebisinga

Blessed Peter To Rot - July 7 Peter To Rot was born in what is today Papua New Guinea. He was the son of the village chief, and he and his parents were baptized as adults and were among the first Catholics in their country. From an early age, To Rot was interested in his faith. He became one of the youngest catechists in Papua New Guinea, and he always carried a Bible and knew Scriptures by heart. In 1936, he married Paula la Varpit, a Catholic woman from a nearby village. But World War II changed the lives of the people of Papua New Guinea. When Japanese forces occupied their island, all missionaries were imprisoned. That left Peter as the only spiritual leader in the area. He provided prayer services and instruction, and he helped the poor. In 1942, the Japanese forbade all Christian worship. But that only encouraged Peter to express his faith more publicly. He was known to hold Catholic prayer services in caves. By 1945, he was arrested and sentenced to prison. Japanese leaders thought …Ebisinga
