Leo XIV appoints enemy of Roman Mass, Archbishop Viola, as archpriest of St. Peter’s – “More to the left than Andrea Grillo”, wears Bugnini’s ring.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, 61, O.F.M., as Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City, and President of the Fabric of St. Peter.
He succeeds Cardinal Mauro Gambetti.
Monsignor Viola will likely be created a cardinal, as every listed Archpriest of St. Peter’s for hundreds of years has been a cardinal.
In 2021, when he was Bishop of Tortona, Francis appointed him Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship.
Viola’s career was strongly supported by Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino, who served as Prelate of Pompeii, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship, and later Bishop of Assisi. In Assisi, he worked closely with Viola, who was active in Franciscan, liturgical, and charitable work.
Archbishop Viola is part of the circle inspired by Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the architect …

Leo XIV warns against those who “radicalize” Catholic teaching.
Pope Leo XIV spoke during a Eucharist in St. Peter’s Basilica marking the opening of the 2026–2027 academic year for Rome’s Pontifical Universities.
He said: “In every age, there is no shortage of false teachers who exploit the religious sentiments of many believers for their own interests, often pushing them to radicalize certain aspects of the teaching they have received at the expense of the whole — the whole, which is Christ and his Gospel.”
Leo XIV then invented a Church’s responsibility for both “to safeguard” the revelation but also “to develop, within diverse contexts, a prayerful understanding of it”.

Cardinal Müller: Mary’s role as Co-Redemptrix is ‘a truth objectively contained in revelation’

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 …

Leo XIV’s Revolution is “Approaching Apostasy” at LifeSite
Leo XIV's Revolution is "Approaching Apostasy"
Pope Leo XIV’s planned participation in an interreligious gathering in Assisi risks suggesting that “all religions are a pathway to God”, a claim that contradicts Catholic teaching. The hosts of Faith & Reason argue this is not dialogue. It is syncretism. And it is approaching apostasy.
The discussion challenges the Church’s current position on the death penalty after pro-life leader Kristan Hawkins wrote that Catholics who “gleefully advocate” for capital punishment are “in sin.” Anthony Stine responds: the Church’s traditional position on capital punishment “can’t be changed even by a pontiff.” Catholics are being given contradictory signals about established doctrine, and the confusion is coming from the top.
The hosts critique the Amoris Laetitia summit and Pope Leo’s selection of Cardinals Fernández, Cupich, McElroy, Tobin, and Hollerich. The lineup creates the appearance of a …

Leo’s Interfaith Table Seats Muslim Brotherhood-Linked Imam; German Bishop Brings Same-Sex Couples’ “Experiences” to Rome; Cupich Calls Migrant Advocacy “Divine Worship”
The same conciliar instinct turns Islamist entryism into dialogue, irregular unions into pastoral data, immigration policy into worship, and ecology into spirituality.
There are times when “interreligious dialogue” looks merely naïve. Then there are times when somebody accused of preaching the patient, quiet advancement of political Islam gets handed a papal-event credential and immediately uses the photograph as institutional validation.
Metz appears to have given us the second kind.

Pope Leo XIV calls on the Church to gather the “fruits” of 10 years of Amoris Laetitia — saying they should nourish the whole Church and help local Churches “recognize new paths.”

Leo XIV outlines the purpose of this Synodal meeting discussing Amoris laetitia: “The Church has spent these 10 years receiving Amoris Letitia and walking with families in very different circumstances. We too bring stories of what God has done among us. Their stories gathered along the path of mission, stories of conversion, of unexpected fruit, and of the relationships God has woven within families, is our communities have sought to accompany them. Together with the difficulties we have faced, the questions that have emerged, and what we have learned along the way, they give us confidence as we begin our work together. Let us place them before the Lord, share them with one another. Seeking to recognise what God has been doing among us, and where His spirit is leading the Church today.”

Priest: Leo won’t do Pachamama in Peru. He’ll let others do it
Ahead of Pope Leo XIV’s planned visit to Peru, Peruvian canon lawyer Msgr. Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue joins John-Henry Westen to discuss the controversy surrounding Pachamama and indigenous religious practices. Coronado describes Pachamama as rooted in pre-Christian Andean religion and argues that a modern “indigenous theology” has attempted to elevate indigenous culture alongside the Gospel, producing religious syncretism.
Asked whether Pope Leo might participate in a Pachamama-related ceremony during his visit, Coronado says he does not expect that to happen. Leo is careful about his public presentation, even as he advances controversial policies through appointments and other figures. He won’t do Pachamama. He’ll let others do it.
The interview turns to allegations surrounding Pope Leo’s handling while Bishop Robert Prevost of an abuse case involving …

Another Diocesan Priest Links-Up With SSPX, Another Synodal Bishop Removes Faculties
The bishop of Knoxville, Tennessee, has revoked all the faculties of a priest who has associated himself with the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX).
A strongly-worded statement issued by the diocese said that Bishop James Beckman had withdrawn all faculties, permissions, and authorizations previously granted to Fr. David Mary Engo for ministry within the diocese. “He is not authorized to exercise public priestly ministry anywhere within the Diocese of Knoxville.”
In accordance with Traditionis Custodes, all diocesan Traditional Latin Masses (TLMs) in the Diocese of Knoxville were suppressed on January 1, 2026.
The statement goes on to denounce the presence of the SSPX within the diocese and discourage Catholics from participating in any of their activities:
Furthermore, the Bishop of Knoxville has not authorized, condoned, or approved the establishment within the Diocese of any priory, mission, chapel, …

German Bishops’ Conference president Bishop Heiner Wilmer says he will bring the “experiences” of homosexual couples to Rome for the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia summit.
Wilmer told katholisch.de that he prepared for the meeting, which begins tomorrow, by speaking with homosexuals and adulterers in a "second union".
Pope Leo XIV has stacked the meeting’s additional invitees with several pro-homosexual cardinals, including Jean-Claude Hollerich, Blase Cupich, Robert McElroy, Joseph Tobin, Víctor Manuel Fernández, José Cobo Cano and Luis Antonio Tagle.
Notably absent from Leo XIV’s 22 additional invitees are prominent critics of developments surrounding Amoris Laetitia, including Dubia Cardinal Raymond Burke and former Curia prefect Cardinal Gerhard Müller.
