Several anonymous cardinals and curial officials told the Substack.com account The Pillar on April 17 that they do not expect any resolution to the question of the Mass in the Roman rite in the near future. Some Catholics had hoped the next extraordinary consistory of cardinals on June 26–27 would address the liturgical issue. Instead, Leo XIV chose to focus on Francis' document Evangelii Gaudium. One Vatican official said that Leo XIV was not very familiar with traditional communities or even the traditional liturgy, and that his primary concern was not liturgy but whether members of those communities accept the Second Vatican Council. As early as June 2025, the best friend of Leo XIV, Alejandro Moral, Prior General of the Augustinians, had already ruled out any return of the older form of the Mass under his pontificate. #newsVdgrmnvwkv
Paul VI killed the Old Mass; JP II gave it a tiny life; Benedict opened it up greatly, saying it had never really been officially done away with; Francis tried to kill it; Leo seems happy with Francis's decision. Zigzag, zigzag, what is the layman to think? "Officer, the light was green when I went through it." "Well, it's red now and you are in trouble." Why should the laity respect the governance of the Church?
A398 Feria II post Invocavit Sermo primus [Saint Vincent Ferrer, OP, XIV-XV Century, (aged 69), born: Valencia, Kingdom of Valencia/died: Vannes, Duchy of Brittany, preacher, missionary and logician, ‘Angel of Apocalypse’] Mt 25:32-36 32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. 34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: 36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand Mt 25:33 For the explanation of this text, approaching the material to be preached, you should …More

"Second, that in giving we take the way of mercy and generosity. "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful," (Lk 6:36). Also by lending, in the same citation,: "Lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil," (Lk 6:35). Therefore whoever disobediently goes by the way of avarice by committing usury, robbery, theft etc, is not a sheep of Christ, but a goat of the devil."

Tue Apr 21, 2026 - 12:04 pm EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A new book published in Italy reveals further elements that fuel the hypothesis that Cardinal Robert Prevost had long been the successor designated by Pope Francis. On April 7, the Italian publishing house Piemme released a new book by Vatican News journalist Salvatore Cernuzio titled Padre (“Father”), which gathers several testimonies exchanged between the Vatican reporter and the late Pope Francis — including one that suggests a particular fondness for then‑Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. “Him? He’s a saint,” Francis told Cernuzio, specifying that by the word ‘saint’ the Pope meant “people capable of calmly handling discussions, tensions and complex situations, and of managing to create unity.” Starting in 2012, Cernuzio and Francis developed a deep and confidential friendship — one that, as the book’s title suggests, could be likened to a father‑son relationship. Their conversations, phone calls, and meetings were …

Thank GOD we have people like Rick and Sweeney to set the record straight on Russia. People who attack Russia and "TRY" to accuse them of no freedom of speech. Should not talk as their country bans and deletes, threatens and removes whatever or whomever they want. Even to the point ok killing, beating and jailing people who speak the truth.
Diocesan priests know full well that the Catholic Church is suffering through a period of decline, and that speaks to failures of leadership. But perhaps they have convinced themselves that things aren’t so bad in their own dioceses.
A priest admits that the Novus Ordo Mass, as it is, doesn’t naturally foster reverence or the priest’s inner spiritual life and requires extra effort to make it meaningful. The author finds it surprising that people can recognize this problem without concluding that something went seriously wrong when this newer form replaced the traditional, spiritually rich rite that nourished many saints. In short, instead of trying to improve the Novus Ordo, the author argues that the Church should return fully to the traditional rite, calling this the most important task for the Western Church today.
[Saint John Vianney, XVIII-XIX Century, (aged 73), born: Dardilly, Lyonnais, Kingdom of France/died: Ars-sur-Formans, Ain, French Empire, Cure d’Ars, French Priest, patron saint of parish priests] “2. Have you religion in your heart ? Alas, my dear brethren, what have we become even since our conversion? Instead of going always forward and increasing in holiness, what laziness and what indifference we display! God cannot endure this perpetual inconstancy with which we pass from virtue to vice and from vice to virtue. Tell me, my children, is not this the very pattern of the way you live? Are your poor lives anything other than a succession of good deeds and bad deeds? Is it not true that you go to Confession and the very next day you fall again -- or perhaps the very same day? .... How can this be, unless the religion you have is unreal, a religion of habit, a religion of long-standing custom, and not a religion rooted in the heart? Carry on, my friend; you are only a waverer! Carry on …More
"But, you will say to me, how can we know that we have religion in our hearts, this religion which is consistent? My dear brethren, this is how: listen well and you will understand if you have religion as God wants you to have it in order to lead you to Heaven. If a person has true virtue, nothing whatever can change him; he is like a rock in the midst of a tempestuous sea. If anyone scorns you, or calumniates you, if someone mocks at you or calls you a hypocrite or a sanctimonious fraud, none of this will have the least effect upon your peace of soul. You will love him just as much as you loved him when he was saying good things about you. You will not fail to do him a good turn and to help him, even if he speaks badly of your assistance. You will say your prayers, go to Confession, to Holy Communion, you will go to Mass, all according to your general custom."
In June, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X will announce the names of the future bishops to be consecrated on 1 July in Ecône, Switzerland. Father Kevin M. Cusick published this rumour on the Rorate-Caeli blog, referring to an anonymous 'reliable source' who claimed that both Don Davide Pagliarani, the Fraternity's Superior General, and Father John Fullerton, the Fraternity's Superior for the US, had confirmed the information.

Is there more freedom of speech in Russia than there is in the US? Rick Sanchez says there is. And he's not the only one to say this. People from other countries have flocked to Russia and now working for various Russian news outlets.
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, has instructed priests and pastoral staff to perform "blessings" for homosexual couples and adulterers. A spokesperson confirmed to Die-Tagespost.de on 21 April that all pastoral practice should adhere to the German bishops' guideline, Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft ('Blessing Gives Love Strength'). This guideline is set to become a fundamental element of pastoral work across the Archdiocese of Munich. Training sessions for pastoral staff on how to conduct these "blessing ceremonies" are scheduled to begin in June. No couple seeking a blessing should be turned away. Priests who reject such "blessings" are expected to refer couples to either their dean or other pastoral workers willing to perform them. Furthermore, Cardinal Marx has urged that the "theological meaning" of the guideline be explained, particularly to those who may "still" struggle with the concept of such "blessings". Blessings for same-sex couples are already common practice in …More
04/21/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. First, a brief comparison. In history class, we learned about a Mongol ruler from the turn of the 12th to the 13th century: the ruthless conqueror of half the world, Genghis Khan. His wars claimed the lives of 40 million people at the time—that is 11.11% of the entire known world population. Today I asked “Google Intelligence” the following question: How did Genghis Khan treat envoys? The answer surprised me greatly: Genghis Khan treated envoys with the utmost respect, and their protection was a fundamental principle of Mongol law and strategy. The most important aspects of this topic are listed below: Absolute inviolability: The killing of an envoy (ambassador) was considered one of the gravest acts of hostility, which typically led to merciless revenge and the complete destruction of the state that had committed such an act; The Jam System (Jaam): Genghis Khan established an efficient courier system (Jam) that enabled messengers to travel …
The church Saint-Nicaise de Rouen in Rouen, France, will become a brasserie-restaurant with an additional museum space. The site dates back to the 7th century, when a chapel was built for the relics of Saint Nicaise. The current building was reconstructed in reinforced concrete after a fire in 1934 and reopened for worship in 1940. Due to structural deterioration, water infiltration, and lack of maintenance, the church was closed in 2006 and officially deconsecrated in 2017. The new project includes a restaurant, on-site beer production, and preservation of some architectural elements. The church’s large organ, completed in 1957 and one of the most important in Rouen, has been removed and will be relocated to another church in Paris for restoration. Local authorities cited high restoration costs as the main reason for the conversion. #newsRxmfreixrh
Tue Apr 21, 2026 - 11:53 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The European Union’s high court ruled on Tuesday that Hungary’s pro-family legislation passed under Prime Minister Viktór Orban violates EU law. In 2021, Hungary banned the promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism to minors, prohibited pro-LGBT “sexual education,” and introduced stronger penalties for child sexual abuse material. The European Court of Justice declared that Hungary’s ban on LGBT promotion to minors broke EU law because it “stigmatizes” people who claim to be homosexual or “transgender.” The unprecedented decision also said that Hungary violated the “founding values” of the EU in Article 2 of the EU Treaty. “Consequently, that law is contrary to the very identity of the Union as a common legal order in a society in which pluralism prevails,” the court said. The ruling notably comes just nine days after Orban lost to pro-EU challenger Péter Magyar, ending Orban’s 16-year reign as prime minister. According to …
Prevost Has Declared War on Christianity Something extraordinary has happened, and most Christians missed it because it was wrapped in the language of love. Over the span of eleven days, from Easter Sunday through an eleven-day tour of Africa, Pope Leo XIV issued a series of public statements that, taken together, constitute the most comprehensive assault on Biblical Christianity ever launched from inside the institutional church. He did not do it with a sword. He did it with a smile, a diplomatic handshake, and language so carefully crafted that millions of Catholics watched it happen and applauded. This is a documentation of that assault. Every claim is sourced from the Pope’s own words, published on the Vatican’s own website, and measured against the Bible the Vatican claims to uphold.
