Leo XIV appoints Mexican Bishop who said after ‘Fiducia supplicans’: “We bless everyone”. On September 21, Pope Leo XIV has promoted Monsignor Jorge Carlos Patrón Wong as Archbishop of Puebla de los Ángeles, Mexico. He was born on January 3, 1958, in Mérida, Archdiocese of Yucatán and ordained a priest on January 12, 1988, for that Archdiocese. In 2009, he was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Papantla and received episcopal ordination in December. On May 2, 2012, he became diocesan bishop of Papantla. Francis brought Patrón Wong to Rome. On September 21, 2013, he became Secretary for Seminaries at the Congregation for the Clergy. “Don’t Define Seminarians by Homosexuality” Asked in 2014 by LaStampa.it, about homosexual seminarians and support of a “gay culture”, Monsignor Patrón Wong replied evasively that sexual maturity is one component of broader personal maturity: “We cannot judge the state/existence in which a person comes before us.” And: “It is important … not to …Zaidi
The article CLAIMS that Patrón Wong publicly came out as gay, but no other credible report corroborates this extraordinary news. A public coming-out by a sitting Catholic archbishop would very likely have generated substantial coverage in Catholic, Mexican, and international media. Given the absence of corroboration, the claim appears very likely to be false. Arzobispo de Xalapa: Dios es el único que …

The Great Betrayal: Why "Christian Humanism" is a Contradiction in Terms We live in an era addicted to hyphenated oxymorons—terms welded together to mask a fundamental contradiction. None is more spiritually fatal, or historically dishonest, than "Christian humanism." To call oneself a Christian humanist is to attempt a cosmic merger of oil and water, of Jerusalem and Athens, of the crucified Savior and the self-enthroned ego. Placed under the unsparing lens of Holy Scripture and the consensus of the early Church Fathers, Christian humanism is not a synthesis; it is a Trojan horse. And history reveals that the humanism revived during the Renaissance was nothing less than the incubator of modern secularism. The Verdict of Scripture: War on the Self-Made Man Scripture does not baptize human potential; it buries it. The foundational premise of humanism—ancient or modern—is that man is the measure of all things, possessing an inherent, autonomous dignity and wisdom capable of self-salvation …Zaidi

[geopolitics_prime] Israeli politician demands Nazi-style collective punishment for residents of Palestinian village In 1942, a pair of Czechoslovak commandos assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, second-in-command of the SS and one of the principal architects of the Final Solution. In response, the Nazis razed two Czech villages to the ground, executed all their adult male residents and some women, and deported the remaining women and children to concentration camps. 84 years on, former Netanyahu foreign and defense minister Avigdor Liberman is calling for something similar in the West Bank. “We must impose a heavy cost – there is no forgiveness for terrorism,” Liberman tweeted Sunday, shortly after a deadly shooting near the illegal settlement of Neve Tzuf in the West Bank, in which a settler was killed by a Palestinian man from the nearby village of Biddu. “The IDF must enter the village from which the terrorist came from and raze it,” Liberman demanded. Falling out with Netanyahu in …Zaidi

Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …Zaidi
The synodal-conciliar hierarchy canonized Vatican second; today, Vatican II is "saint Vatican second," thanks to the canonization of all the post-vatican II popes.
Two pastors in South Korea have been fined 1 million won (about €620) each after loudly preaching on a domestic flight from Jeju to Seoul. They shouted that passengers would “go to hell” if they did not believe in Jesus, while one moved around the cabin. They continued despite instructions from the cabin crew to stop. A Seoul court found that their conduct constituted a disturbance under South Korea’s Aviation Security Act.
The court said the 64-year-old pastor stood in the aisle despite repeated attempts by crew members to stop him and shouted at passengers, “You will go to hell if you don’t believe in Jesus.”
