A Vatican Dicastery secretary attended an interreligious ceremony featuring the Balinese idol Barong. On 5 September, Vatican representatives attended the Tri Hita Karana Universal Reflection Ceremony at Sunset Mandala, Bali. Part of Bali Harmony Encounter Week 2026, it was organized with Pope Francis-founded Scholas Occurrentes. Present were Msgr. Indunil Kankanamalage, Secretary of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, Rev. Marcin Schmidt, and Scholas director Maria Paz, alongside Indonesian officials, Balinese royalty and representatives of different religions. Organizers said the evening was “anchored by an interfaith prayer” and included the Bumi Bajra troupe performing with a "Barong" from Ubud Palace, accompanied by “sacred rhythms.” Barong, a lion-like ceremonial figure, represents a supernatural protector in Balinese Hindu tradition and is closely associated with Balinese religious ritual and temple life.

10th Sept. 2026 OUT ON THE STREETS OF ROME LITERALLY BECAUSE OF VATICAN COUNCIL II AND THE CATECHISM INTERPRETED RATIONALLY I am out on the streets of Rome at night - literally, because I affirm the Catholic teaching, outside the Church there is no salvation. This is according to the Bible, Vatican Council II and the Catechism. The Missionaries of Charity brothers and sisters do the same. Even The Mother Teresa priests and religious sisters a) affirm the Bible, Vatican Council II and the Catechism of Pope John Paul II and b) interpret LG 8, 14,16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 in Vatican Council II as being hypothetical and invisible cases in 2026. So our conclusion is the same. The Council is dogmatic ( AG 7/EENS) and ecclesiocentric ( AG 7 with no explicit exceptions in LG 8, 14,16 etc). CARD.PETER TURKSON But when I affirm these Church Documents just like Cardinal Peter Turkson, I am ‘ a domestic terrorist’ but he is not. I am ‘politically dangerous’ but the cardinals are not when they are saying …More
Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman D.C. spends $32,000 a year on each kid. One high school: 84% chronically absent. Others at 79 and 78. Graduation rates still climb. Reading and math do not. That’s not underfunding. That’s a racket with a diploma printer. Bowser sent parents a 180-day reminder to show up. Jeanine Pirro is talking fines and jail. One of those is a newsletter. The other is a standard. Unions protect the adults. The children get the empty desk and a fake transcript. School choice isn’t a slogan. It’s the exit from a system that already quit. If the building can’t get them in the chair, let the parent pick a school that will.
At my Catholic grade school, the sisters charged my parents $15.00 a month. My high school was $250.00 a year. I Learned a great deal then and would probably have to pay several thousand a year to get the same education.
On August 17, Saint Mary’s College in Indiana, a Catholic women’s college sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, published new details about PROCLAIM, a 22-month program training Catholic women to preach. The organizers say they “invited and received the support” of Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne–South Bend - considered "conservative". The first cohort has 27 women, who gathered in June for their first in-person intensive. The program received a $1.25 million grant from Lilly Endowment, a private philanthropic foundation, and provides courses, coaching, preaching circles and practical preaching exercises.

“The Kiev regime planned to carry out sabotage and terrorist attacks against British diplomatic representatives in Moscow to subsequently blame Russia for them in order to draw the United Kingdom into direct armed conflict with the country, secure additional weapons deliveries [to Kiev], and ramp up sanctions on Russia,” the agency said.
Cardinal Burke told the harsh truth: what happened in Sodom is happening again. The days of Noah too. Only now it has laws, doctors, and a flag. Not “things are bad.” Not “culture is changing.” The same pattern. God looked at the world before the flood and saw people violating the way He made them. Male and female. Marriage. The body. The family. Burke named the modern version without flinching. Transgenderism. Surgeries that mutilate the body to match an idea. Sexual relationships that break the bond of marriage. Evil getting praised as if it were good. Human life is inviolable. Sex is for the union of man and woman and the family. God is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth.
Renzo Pegoraro, Leo XIV-appointed President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, has doubled down on his mad position on assisted suicide. Following his Avvenire interview, Monsignor Pegoraro told Corriere.it that Italy should pursue a national law, calling on political parties to press Parliament for legislation rather than leaving the issue to regional authorities. On the same day, his predecessor, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, intervened in LaRepubblica.it, saying Parliament should “shoulder its responsibilities” and establish national rules. Archbishop Pegoraro also addressed a Trentino provincial council committee examining an assisted-suicide bill, where he again called for uniform national regulation. LaNuovaBq.it suggests the simultaneous interventions could point to coordinated Italian Church backing for a national assisted-suicide law, possibly involving Italian bishops’ president Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.
Nightclubs in Churches? The Battle for St. Paul’s & Canterbury Cathedral | SG News Is the Church of England losing its way—or finding new ways to connect with a changing culture? St Paul’s Cathedral in London is facing intense criticism after reportedly entering a four-year agreement with Fabric to host electronic and contemporary music events within the historic cathedral. The arrangement, reportedly running through 2030, has sparked a fierce debate over where the line should be drawn between preserving sacred spaces and adapting them for modern audiences. The first event is scheduled for October 29. Critics have been particularly vocal: Bishop Robert Barron criticized the decision on X, arguing that the distinction between the sacred and the secular must not be lost. MP Nick Timothy also challenged London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s description of St Paul’s as a “special landmark,” emphasizing that the cathedral remains an active place of Christian worship. And St Paul’s is not the …More
On 6 September, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. The group had planned to conclude their annual pilgrimage with public prayer inside the basilica. Individual pilgrims were permitted to enter privately or in small groups. The group therefore remained outside and concluded their pilgrimage in the basilica square. Father Gabriele D’Avino, head of the FSSPX in Italy, drew a contrast between this decision and the interreligious gathering in Assisi on 27 October, for which representatives of different religions and Christian denominations are expected to attend the 40th anniversary of the 1986 World Day of Prayer for Peace.

“Pope Paul VI's 1965 address to the United Nations” - Source:youtube.com/watch?v=wf3GNl_L-K4&t=4s - See also:VATICAN II: A MASONIC DREAM COME TRUE - Source: … - On October 4, 1965—barely two months before the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council—Paul VI delivered a now-infamous speech at the United Nations to mark its twentieth anniversary. As this video aims to illustrate, Paul VI appears to propose a stance of surrender to the world as the official policy of the Catholic Church. Drawing upon Sacred Scripture and our great Catholic Tradition, I will argue that this amounts, ultimately, to a complete inversion of the order that should exist between spiritual and temporal powers; that this inverted stance can only be understood in light of the great apostasy foretold by Saint Paul in 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2; and that Paul VI and the post-conciliar project, in general, may be paving the way for the Antichrist. - Related: 1.

The final programme for the annual Rome pilgrimage of the Traditional Roman Rite (23–25 October) has been announced. However, there is a notable change this year: the pilgrims will enter St Peter's Basilica at 1 p.m. to pray, but there will be no Mass. Instead, pilgrims will travel to the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate Mass at 3 p.m. On Friday evening, Bishop Schneider will preside over Pontifical Vespers at the Pantheon. Unlike in previous years, no cardinal is scheduled to celebrate the principal liturgies. On Sunday, the traditional Feast of Christ the King, Masses will be held at San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini, Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini and Sant’Anna al Laterano. The organisers have expressed their gratitude to Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of St Mary Major, for welcoming the pilgrims. Picture: Don Elvir Tabaković, #newsFjtfiqeqpm
On 7 September, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller addressed the “Tavola di Assisi 2026”: “Islam… is not ashamed of God, it is not ashamed of transcendence, but it proposes an anthropology and a revelation radically different from the Christian ones.” Invoking St Francis of Assisi’s encounter with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil, Müller rejected the modern portrayal of Francis as a precursor of interreligious dialogue: “Francis did not go to Egypt to open a diplomatic salon and confirm the Sultan in his faith.” Instead, he went convinced that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. For Cardinal Müller, calling Muslims to conversion is “not an act of hostility… on the contrary, it is the highest act of charity.” He also warned that the Christian West is not “simply threatened by external forces, but is being worn down by an internal apostasy.”
