Prevost has no mercy, not with the Catholic victims of Muslims in Nigeria, nor with the Catholic victims in China, nor with the children who are victims of sin against the sixth commandment, but now he wants to awaken compassion for himself with this news about the nodule.
@Kurt Wail Not very charitable, BUT understandable considering this faux pope is destroying the faith with one heresy after the other. Perhaps Providence will scare the literal Hell out of him. I shall pray for healing for his soul; more important than the body.
Senior Cardinal urges Vatican to stop insisting on the "ideal family" and consider cohabitation, interfaith unions, and changing ideas about gender.
Cardinal notes “changing understandings of gender,” says Church must discern how to change. At Leo XIV's meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia on October 8, Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão delivered a speech on the challenges facing families in Asia. He is the President of the Conference of Bishops of India. Discussing changes in the “identity, nature and composition of the family,” the cardinal observed that “new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings.” Reflecting on what the Church has learned from its pastoral work, Ferrão declared: “Pastoral work is itself a place of discernment. We don't arrive with ready-made answers. We discern together with families and, in doing so, we learn how the Church herself is being asked to change.” In his conclusion, the cardinal stated that “there is no single stereotype of an ideal family” and asked, “What is the Holy Spirit asking the Church to change – not …More
EXORCIST SUES FOR DEFAMATION Fr. Carlos Martins is suing an assistant to Fr. Chad Ripperger for defamation, after the assistant (Kyle Clement) essentially called Fr. Martins a fraud. Fr. Martins is an exorcist ad actum, meaning he is commissioned by bishops on a case-by-case basis to perform exorcisms in their diocese. This has been confirmed in writing by Fr. Martins' religious superior, and confirmed by Fr. Martins himself. For whatever reason, Clement claimed in 2024 that Martins is NOT an exorcist. Fr. Martins waited a year for a public retraction and apology, which never came - so he pursued reparation to his public reputation by filing a defamation lawsuit. youtube.com/watch?v=F0jJIXvjzig
This has to stop! Fr Rippenger and Fr Martins are using this exorcist platform drawing too much attention to themselves. I was criticized for pointing this out and we are now seeing the consequences.
Sin is no love. Heretical situation's ethics is back.
Concubinages may contain “authentic love” - Leo XIV-appointed Bishop at the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. At the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Bishop Stephen Fernandes, 65, spoke on October 9 about accompanying unmarried couples. Leo XIV had apointed him as auxiliary bishop of Bombay, India, in October 2025. Discussing differences between countries, Bishop Fernandes said: “The Gospel remains one, but pastoral pathways cannot be identical everywhere.” Addressing cohabitation, he said that “we should resist both indifference and condemnation.” He proposed asking: “What is already good in their relationship? Where can we discern signs of generosity, fidelity, responsibility and grace?” Fernandes also questioned whether moving such couples toward marriage should be the sole objective: “The question is not simply: How can we move this couple towards a wedding? It is also: Are these two people truly called to marriage, and are they ready to enter into a lifelong marital …More

“Leo has spent his pontificate advancing what Francis started, and on Wednesday the Church under Leo XIV kept moving forward with the anniversary logo hanging right behind him.”
Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco: "There was more unity in the Church when we were living under Summorum Pontificum than we are now under Traditionis Custodes."
Leo has several senior Vatican officials whose terms have expired or who are already beyond the normal retirement age. Cardinal Kevin Farrell is 77. Cardinal Marcello Semeraro is 78.
Edward Pentin: A respected priest in Rome "was incredulous that certain Vatican cardinals who will remain nameless are still in positions of authority."
Another priest links up with SSPX, bishop removes faculties
Bishop James Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has revoked the faculties of Fr David Mary Engo who has associated himself with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), “He is not authorized to exercise public priestly ministry anywhere within the Diocese of Knoxville.” David Mary Engo was ordained a priest in 1997 by then-Bishop Seán P. O’Malley of Fall River, the future Cardinal of Boston. His religious and community status has a somewhat complicated history. He was incardinated into the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend in 2010, while simultaneously being excardinated from the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts. Engo founded a Franciscan community in 2009, professed perpetual vows, and served as the community’s Minister General. In May 2017, he resigned as Minister General and withdrew to a hermitage. By 2021, Engo was described by the Diocese of Knoxville’s newspaper as a Franciscan hermit living in the Diocese of Helena, Montana. Engo subsequently ministered in the Diocese of …More
On 24 November, the Vatican will publish The Private Diary of Pope Francis, drawn from notes Jorge Mario Bergoglio kept from 1992 to August 2024. They have been selected and commented upon by Cardinal Víctor Manuel “Tucho” Fernández, one of Francis’s closest collaborators. For someone who regards the Francis years as among the most bewildering and damaging periods of the modern papacy, the temptation to peer behind the curtain is irresistible. But how much will actually be revealed? At just 144 pages, distilled from more than thirty years of notes, are we getting Francis unfiltered—or Francis as curated by Fernández for posterity?
Bishop Schneider calls out the Vatican for promoting "brazen heresies" that are approaching apostasy. “We are witnesses of an unprecedented crisis of the Church. A hostile takeover within the strategic administrative structure of the Catholic Church.”
Bishop Schneider at CIC conference: A hostile takover of the Church took place.
Gambetti Steps Down as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica After Five Years and Several Controversies
Confirmed: Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, 60, as Metropolitan Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto. The move brings Gambetti’s tenure as Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City and President of the Fabric of St Peter to an end. His successor at the Vatican has not yet been announced. Cardinal Gambetti's years in the Vatican were marked by repeated controversies, many of which were brought to public attention primarily by SilereNonPossum.com. The investigation was based on documents, photographs, videos and testimony. Among other issues, SilereNonPossum reported favouritism in personnel appointments - including the hiring of people personally connected to Gambetti. Other scandals included controversial expenditure, costly events and projects, and concerns over the maintenance and management of the Basilica. Cardinal Gambetti succeeds Archbishop Bruno Forte, whose resignation Pope Leo XIV has accepted. The transfer comes after months of rumours that …More
Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.”
Humanly speaking, Bishop Schneider doesn't see Leo XIV reversing Francis' course. The celebration of the Pontifical Mass at the end of October in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - instead of St. Peter’s Basilica - can be described as a “consolation prize,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (video below). It is “sad,” he said, that these Catholics are not allowed to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s. At the same time, Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important Marian church in Christendom. Both Pius V - who codified the traditional Mass for all time - and Francis - who restricted it - are buried there. Bishop Schneider intends to pray with the faithful for liturgical peace and for the traditional Mass to be celebrated again without restrictions. Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.” The pilgrimage will pray for Leo XIV, asking God to grant him many graces. Schneider calls the suppression …More
Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Celebrates Jewish Passover with Seminarians. Pope Leo XIV today appointed Bishop Ramón Salazar Estrada, 63, until now auxiliary bishop of Guadalajara, as the new Bishop of Mazatlán, Mexico. Salazar was ordained a priest in 1993 for the Archdiocese of Guadalajara. He holds a doctorate in moral theology from the Alphonsian Academy in Rome. Allegations of Homosexual activity at the seminary In the Archdiocese of Guadalajara there is an anonymous church watchblog, GdlSantaIPecadora.blogspot.com. According to this source the seminary was suffering in 2012 from “delicate cases of homosexuality”, alongside alcoholism. In May 2014 the blog alleged an internal network of seminarians arranging homosexual encounters by phone, connections with priests outside the seminary, and protection or tolerance by some formators. It also claimed that at least seven seminarians had been dismissed after accusations concerning homosexuality. Salazar was already closely involved in …More
Leo XIV stood up for reporters as Trump’s White House shut them out. When CNN’s Christopher Lamb raised his colleagues’ treatment, Leo replied: “I am very happy that here you are all welcome.”
Pope Leo reportedly responded to a liberal journalist about Trump’s CNN ban that he is ‘very happy that here you are all welcome, and good coverage, I think, is very important.’
The French Revolution attempted to destroy the church. They murdered priests. They beheaded nuns. They executed the Catholic monarch The church prevailed
An unexpected embrace: Laïcist France embraces Leo XIV - and vice versa #newsChihuteyhi
Peter Thiel: “The pope recently issued this AI encyclical, or I would characterize it as an anti-AI encyclical. “And again, maybe it was too harsh, but the rhetorical point I have on it is that the Communist Party of China is not going to listen to the pope. “There’s a chance people in the U.S. will. And so, in effect, the pope’s encyclical was working for the Communist Party. “I’m not saying he was an agent of the Communists, but he was at least acting as a useful idiot for the CCP.”
Peter Thiel has suggested Pope Leo XIV is a tool of the Antichrist. In his third attack on the pope, he called him a “useful idiot” for the Chinese Communists, adding: “If you’re evil, you’re at least competent. And if you’re evil, you’re not bad. And therefore maybe you’re actually kind of good because you’re at least getting something done.”
Patriarch Ignatius Youssef III Younan said directly that Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for Eastern Churches, has set out to undermine the patriarchs of the different Churches. “He has spread the news for the past two years that he is trying to get several patriarchs dismissed, and he says that openly,” the patriarch said.
Patriarch accuses Curia Cardinal. Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignatius Youssef III Younan has accused Curia Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches, of helping orchestrate an effort to remove him. Younan told the Substack.com-account 'The Pillar' that Gugerotti encouraged bishops to turn against him. He also alleges that Gugerotti helped develop the new papal law now being used against him. Younan, 81, has led the Syriac Catholic Church since 2009. He is the first Eastern Catholic patriarch to face proceedings under Pope Leo XIV’s 'Mutua concordia', promulgated on August 29. The process against him was reportedly initiated on September 4 - just six days later. Under the new law, a synod may request a patriarch’s resignation for a grave cause. If he refuses, proceedings can continue under another bishop’s presidency. Removal requires a two-thirds secret vote, the patriarch must be allowed to defend himself, and the decision requires papal assent. The …More
