يمكن للأسقف المساعد «المحافظ» جوزيف غراف، من ريغنسبورغ بألمانيا، أن يتصور رسامة رجال متزوجين في الكهنوت. وأدلى المونسنيور غراف بهذه التصريحات خلال إجازة قضاها في سان جينيزيو، بجنوب تيرول، حيث ساعد أيضًا في حصاد العنب في أحد مزارع الكروم المحلية. وقال لموقع Bz-bx.net: «أعتقد شخصياً أن الكنيسة يمكنها تحمل وجود viri probati». وأضاف أن وجود كهنة متزوجين لن يحل على الأرجح مشكلة نقص الكهنة. أما بشأن رسامة النساء في الكهنوت، فقال المونسنيور غراف إنه يعتقد أن ذلك «غير ممكن». وأشار إلى أنه «لا تزال» هناك أسباب لاهوتية وجيهة لتخصيص الرتب المقدسة للرجال. ترجمة الذكاء الاصطناعي
Leo XIV appoints military bishop who wants to “make a different Church”, and is open to female deacons and Communion for homosexuals. On September 14, Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Pedro Luis Fuentes Valencia, 58, as Military Ordinary for Bolivia. The Passionist bishop has served as apostolic administrator of the Military Ordinary since 2022, alongside his duties as auxiliary bishop of La Paz. Fuentes represented the Bolivian bishops at both sessions of the Synod on Synodality in Rome in 2023 and 2024. "Synodality Is Nature of Church" In October 2023 he spoke of having “the courage to build a different kind of church”. In June 2024, he defined synodality as “the very nature of the Church”. In July 2024, he repeated: “The Synod on Synodality is a way of being the Church.” And: “This is the Church’s identity: listening to one another, sharing, walking together, maturing together, growing together,” Communion for Homosexuals In October 2023, Monsignor Fuentes spoke about Holy Communion …المزيد
In October 2023, Monsignor Fuentes spoke about Holy Communion for adulterers and those “not in full communion with the church”. According to Ceb.bo this included “the situation of the LGBT community”. Bishop Fuentes said: “This remains under debate, and the issue is still open. But to enter into Communion, one must reflect on one’s life—not so much in a moralistic sense, but in terms of what it means to be a Christian, for that is the direction we are heading in: what it means to be baptized and to be a follower of the Lord.”
Here is an example of what I mean: the Pope has appointed a new bishop for Terni, Italy—in addition to appointing the infamous Bishop Saporito to the See of Metuchen. Here is what the traditionalist blog *Messainlatino* says about him: "Our sources inform us that the appointment of Monsignor Alfonso Raimo—currently Auxiliary Bishop of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno—as the new Bishop of Terni-Narni-Amelia will be announced shortly. We understand that he is the rector of the Church of San Giorgio Martire in Salerno, where the traditional Holy Mass is celebrated and where he has also delivered homilies, and that he holds 'orthodox' positions regarding doctrine." I am certain that Gloria.tv will publish an article defaming this bishop, claiming he said something "synodal," met with Protestants, or something similar. This amounts to discrediting the Church. Saporito is a heretic; Raimo is not. Yet for Gloria.tv and its followers, both are trash; this is lying and defamation.
الحمد ليسوع المسيح، ليكن سلامه ونعمته معكم. ما هو الحل للصراع الإسرائيليّ الفلسطينيّ؟ تتطلّب الإجابة عن هذا السؤال فهماً لشخصيّتي الطرفين المتحاربين: إنهما شقيقان متخاصمان. شقيقان، لأنهما يتشاركان في جوهر وجودهما وهو رفض المسيح وكنيسته؛ وعدوّان، لأنّ هذا الرفض يجعلهما عبدين للشيطان - الذي هو تجسيد للكراهيّة. لقد أقام الله الشعب اليهوديّ ليقدّم المسيح للعالم. وهكذا، فإن علّة وجود دولة إسرائيل لا تنفصل عن وجود الشعب العبري، الذي لا يمكن فهمه بحدّ ذاته دون الرجوع إلى وجود الله (تكوين 12: 1-2؛ 17: 1-2). ففي الواقع، (أراد الله أن يخلق مجتمعًا خاليًا من العبادات المقدّمة للشياطين حيث يمكن لمسيحه أن يتجسّد ويتطوّر في القداسة.) وإذا كان وجود الشعب اليهوديّ مرتبطاً بمجيء المسيح - مخلّص العالم (يوحنا 4: 22؛ غلاطية 3: 16 وما يليها) - فإن رفض يسوع المسيح وهو المسيح الذي سبق أن رمز إليه الأنبياء، لا بدّ أن تكون له عواقب وخيمة على كلّ من إسرائيل والعالم بأسره. ألم يتنبّأ يسوع بخراب الهيكل في أورشليم وتشتّت اليهود عقاباً لهم على عدم إيمانهم - أي رفضهم استقباله بصفته ابن الله، الذي صار إنسانا، (لوقا 13…المزيد
Leo XIV has named the homosexual activist Michael Saporito, 64, Bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey (September 15). Monsignor Saporito, 64, is currently auxiliary bishop of Newark. Institutional Connection to McCarrick A native of Newark, Saporito entered the McCarrick seminary in 1987. In 1992, Archbishop Theodore McCarrick ordained Saporito to the priesthood. In 1999, homosexual McCarrick elevated the young Rev Saporito as assistant director of vocations. Founded Homosexual Ministry in Parish During Saporito’s tenure as pastor of St. Joseph Church in Maplewood (2004–2011), the parish employed an openly homosexual man as its full-time director of music and liturgy. He said he disclosed the relationship before being hired. Furthermore, as pastor of St. Joseph, Rev Saporito founded a group for homosexuals called "Open Arms Ministry." A 2011 report noted that the parish's embrace of homosexuals came under Saporito: “Above all, according to parishioners, Saporito - through words and deeds …المزيد

A child just under two years old was euthanized in the Netherlands because of disabilities. Born prematurely at 26 weeks, the child had severe brain damage, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, and difficult-to-treat seizures.

هل بإمكان المسلم الصادق أن يندمج في المجتمع من دون أن يخون تعاليم القرآن؟ إذا كان "الله لن يجعل للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيلا (القرآن 4: 141)"، هل سيقبل المسلم سلطة غير المسلم، إلا إذا كان مصابا بالفصام؟ "يا أيّها الذين آمنوا إن تُطيعوا فريقا من الذين أوتوا الكتاب يردّوكم بعد إيمانكم كافرين (القرآن 3: 100)". هل يمكن لمسلم مقتنع بإيمانه ألا يحمل عداء ضد ربّ عمله اليهوديّ أو المسيحيّ؟ "فلا تطع الكافرين وجاهدهم به جهادا كبيرا (القرآن 25: 52)". هل يمكن لمسلم صادق ألّا يكون مشكلة بنيويّة في مجتمع غير مسلم؟ وهل يمكن قبول مطالب دمج المسلمين إلّا من قبل الحمقى النافعين والجبناء والخونة؟ لكن يأتي اليوم الذي سيدين فيه يسوع كلّ واحد حسب أعماله (رؤيا 20: 12ـ13)!
Emmanuel Macron’s request to accompany Leo XIV for a few minutes inside Notre-Dame Cathedral was not accepted by the Holy See, La Croix reports. This reflects a wider disagreement over the papal visit. Several requests from the Élysée were refused: the military welcome will be reduced, avoiding the Republican Guard and its drums; the Holy See declined the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour; and there will be no state lunch or dinner with Macron.
LaCroix écrit que « la demande d’Emmanuel Macron d’accompagner le pape pendant quelques minutes à Notre-Dame n’a pas été acceptée par le Saint-Siège. Cet épisode met en lumière les divergences qui ont marqué les préparatifs : Paris envisageait une visite d’État, tandis que Rome voyait plutôt un voyage apostolique ».
“Conservative” Auxiliary Bishop Josef Graf of Regensburg, Germany, can envision ordaining married men to the priesthood. Monsignor Graf made this remarks during a holiday in San Genesio, South Tyrol, where he also helped with the grape harvest in a local vineyard. He told Bz-bx.net: “I personally believe that the Church could afford viri probati”. He added that married priests would probably not solve the shortage of priests. On the ordination of women to the priesthood, Monsignor Graf said he believes it is “not possible.” He pointed there are “still” weighty theological reasons for reserving Holy Orders to men. #newsAdwjzpyvzr
Oddly enough, I can 'envision' waking up and discovering a Church which nurtures vocations by holding to the Faith rather than deviating from it to suit the needs of prelates who should never have been ordained in the first place.
Mature married men have worked out as well in the parishes founded by Anglicans who converted to Catholicism and, of course, historically in the Eastern Churches, so I don't see what people are worrying about. As long as they don't offer ordination to married men under the age of, say, 45 or 50, I think they'd make an excellent and much needed source of new priests.

Tom's Powerful Story On September 8, 2008, Tom while preparing to winterize the above-ground pool with his son Joseph noticed something very wrong. His youngest Joseph, who has Down syndrome, was not in sight nor was the top to the septic tank. Tom running to his 20 year old found his son had fallen in. The metal which had been covering the 2×2 top opening to the large tank had given way. The tank was some 6-7’ deep and Tom’s son (…المزيد
