Priest Alters Words of Consecration, Nuns Appear as "Concelebrants". Worse than Germany: A video published by InfoVaticana.com shows Trinitarian nuns at the Monastery of Suesa in Cantabria, Spain, standing around the altar like concelebrants, with their hands extended during the Eucharistic Prayer. The celebrating priest altered the words of consecration, using feminine forms. He said, “Tomad y comed todas de él” (“Take and eat, all of you” — using the feminine todas). Furthermore, he prayed “for all humanity” instead of “for many.” He also replaced “Do this in memory of me” with: “Do this to remember that I am among you as one who serves.”

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Education has responded to a Catholic mother involved in a parents’ campaign against a new sexual-education framework for Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Hamburg, reports LaNuovaBq.it on August 18. Hamburg is led by Archbishop Stefan Heße. The response was sent to Varinia Arauco, a Peruvian-born mother involved with the ‘Parents’ Network for Child Protection and Prevention’. Arauco and other parents have appealed to Church authorities in Germany and Rome over the Archdiocese of Hamburg’s framework “Male, Female, Diverse: Framework for Sexual Education at Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Hamburg.” The framework was published in 2025 and is intended to be implemented in the archdiocese’s 15 Catholic school locations from the 2026/27 school year. It explicitly supports the “acceptance of diversity with regard to sexual orientations and gender identity” The parents also submitted a petition to Pope Leo XIV through the Apostolic Nuncio in Germany and …Daha çox

Almanya doğumlu 65 yaşındaki Başrahip Maximilian Heim, 14 Eylül’de Heiligenkreuz Manastırı’nın başrahiplik görevinden ayrılacak ve manastırın yönetiminde geçirdiği 15 yılı aşkın süreye son verecek. 1133 yılında Avusturya’nın Viyana kentinin güneybatısında kurulan manastır, Avrupa’nın en tanınmış Sistercyen manastırlarından biridir. Manastır, ayinlerinde hâlâ Latince ve Gregoryen ilahilerini kullanmaktadır. Manastırda Novus Ordo ayin düzeni sıkı bir şekilde uygulanmakta olup, Roma ayinini tercih eden çok az sayıda keşiş bulunmaktadır. Bu keşişler, Başrahip Heim’ın yönetiminde zorlu bir dönem geçirmişlerdir. Başrahip Heim, geçen yıl yaşadığı kalp sorunlarına işaret ederek, sorumluluğu “daha genç ellere” devretme zamanının geldiğini söyledi. Heim, pastoral hizmet ve teolojik çalışmalarına geri dönmeyi planlıyor. İstifası, ikinci görev süresinin planlanan bitim tarihinden yaklaşık bir yıl önce geldi. Keşişlerin Eylül ayında yeni bir lider seçmesi bekleniyor. Ancak Vatikan ile yapılan …Daha çox
The mosaics by Marko Rupnik at the Sanctuary of Lourdes will be fully covered in the coming weeks and will remain hidden permanently after Pope Leo XIV’s visit, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes told French newspaper LaDepeche.fr on August 20. Only some of the mosaics, including those on the basilica’s doors, were covered in March 2025. The sanctuary had previously stopped illuminating Rupnik’s works during its nightly processions in 2024. Rupnik is a Slovenian priest and artist promoted by the Vatican for decades. He has been accused by around two dozen women of sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse. An ongoing canonical case concerning the allegations is being drawn out in the Vatican. Bishop Micas has previously said that the continued public display of Rupnik’s work at Lourdes can cause particular pain to victims of abuse who visit the sanctuary. #newsSevwzxkaei
Pope Leo XIV's visit to Lourdes: all of Marko Rupnik's controversial mosaics will be covered and "will remain so after his arrival," the bishop affirms
August 15 ~ THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. ON this festival, the Church commemorates the happy departure from life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and her translation into the kingdom of her Son, in which she received from Him a crown of immortal glory, and a throne above all the other Saints and heavenly spirits. After Christ, as the triumphant Conqueror of death and hell, ascended into heaven, His blessed Mother remained at Jerusalem, persevering in prayer with the disciples, till, with them, she had received the Holy Ghost. She lived to a very advanced age, but finally paid the common debt of nature, none among the children of Adam being exempt from that rigorous law. But the death of the Saints is rather to be called a sweet sleep than death ; much more that of the Queen of Saints, who had been exempt from all sin. It is a traditionary pious belief, that the body of the Blessed Virgin was raised by God soon after her death, and taken up to glory, by a singular privilege, …Daha çox
"Tartary, and Northern China on the east, and Sweden and Norway to the west, were evangelized by him, and he is said to have visited Scotland. Everywhere multitudes were converted, churches and convents were built; one hundred and twenty thousand pagans and infidels were baptized by his hands. He worked numerous miracles, and at Cracow raised a dead youth to life."
Italian priest Lino Zatelli, 75, killed himself on August 12. He had been parish priest of San Carlo Borromeo in Trento for a quarter of a century. He was found dead inside the rectory of his parish after he didn’t show up to celebrate the Eucharist. Corriere del Trentino reported the death as a voluntary act. Two months earlier he had learned that he would have to leave San Carlo in November for another pastoral assignment. Zatelli publicly said he had not asked to leave. Sad detail: During his Easter homily, Don Zatelli preached about Judas's suicide. He discussed Judas as someone overwhelmed by despair who could no longer see beyond the obstacle before him, but emphasized Christ's forgiveness and imagined Jesus ultimately embracing Judas in heaven. Eucharists Beyond Rubrics A 2019 interview called him the “eternal bad boy of the Trentino Church.” A November 2020 profile describes Zatelli as working in a kind of laboratory parish. His Eucharists went beyond formulas and interpreted …Daha çox
We are obliged to pray for all of the lost, but the point is clear - current theological aberrations are poisoning the Faith and the Faithful. We are being led by those who "are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, yet truly, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth." Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

“What eroded the moral authority of the Church was the warm romance and embrace of secular power,” Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, 73, of Sokoto, Nigeria, told CatholicWorldReport.com on August 10: “The Church embraced the world and became like the world it was supposed to change.” The bishop added that Africa has “no immunity from this virus”: “The only immunity is to learn from the history of others.” Later in the interview, Bishop Kukah recalled the death of an 18-year-old seminarian who was kidnapped along with three companions. After negotiations and the payment of a ransom, the other three were freed, while he was murdered: “As God would have it, the kidnappers were caught one year later, and they confessed that they killed him because, despite their guns and knowing they were Muslims, he insisted that they must repent of their crimes and return to God!” The prelate has since named the Bishop’s House after the seminarian, while a shrine in his honor stands at the seminary in Kaduna. …Daha çox

German-born Abbot Maximilian Heim, 65 will step down as head of Heiligenkreuz Abbey on September 14, ending more than 15 years at the helm of the monastery. Founded in 1133 southwest of Vienna, Austria, it is one of Europe’s best-known Cistercian monasteries. The monastery still uses Latin and the Gregorian chant for its liturgies. It is strictly Novus Ordo with only few monks preferring the Roman rite. They had a difficult life under Abbot Heim. Abbot Heim said the time had come to place the responsibility “in younger hands,” pointing to the heart problems he suffered last year. Heim intends to return to pastoral ministry and theological work. His resignation comes roughly a year before the scheduled end of his second term. The monks are expected to elect new leadership in September. In consultation with the Vatican, however, the community will initially elect an administrator for a three-year term rather than an abbot for the customary longer mandate. The resignation comes only months …Daha çox
Cathechism of Pope Saint Pius X ~ What should a Christian do who has been given a Bible by a Protestant? - He should reject it with disgust, because it is forbidden by the Church.
I wish I could give this post many loves and likes. I had two experiences with an old 1800's kjv book. And once when someone told me I should be a prot. I was not only disgusted but sickened by the words alone. The thought was rejected immediately! Now I know what to do with an old kjv from the 1800's that my son gave me he found. If I remember I will give to my Priests. I keep forgetting I have it because I put them in plastic and placed it where I rarely ever look or go into. Plus two tiny gideons. PUTTING THEM OUT OF MY SITE AND MIND!

On 18 August 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed twelve new consultors to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. Leo XIV fills the Vatican's social-policy apparatus with mostly anti-Catholic figures. 1. Peter G. Kirchschläger, 49, Social ethicist, University of Lucerne, Switzerland In December 2018, he said that the Catholic Church has an unresolved human-rights problem regarding the impossibility of women's ordination to the priesthood. He even claimed that the state "may not look away" but has an obligation to press the Church on it. When presented with the argument that women dissatisfied with Catholic teaching can leave, he answered: “That would be protecting the perpetrator.” 2. Kathryn A. Koch, 45, Wall Street Finance Kathryn Koch spent 20 years at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, became a Goldman partner and ran its approximately $300 billion public-equity business. In 2015, Koch was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. Since 2024, Koch has …Daha çox
Nijerya’nın Sokoto kentinden 73 yaşındaki Piskopos Matthew Hassan Kukah, 10 Ağustos’ta CatholicWorldReport.com’a verdiği demeçte, “Kilise’nin ahlaki otoritesini aşındıran şey, seküler iktidarla kurulan sıcak ilişki ve kucaklaşmaydı,” dedi: “Kilise dünyayı kucakladı ve değiştirmesi gereken dünya gibi oldu.” Piskopos, Afrika’nın “bu virüse karşı bağışıklığı olmadığını” da sözlerine ekledi: “Tek bağışıklık, başkalarının tarihinden ders almaktır.” Röportajın ilerleyen bölümlerinde Piskopos Kukah, üç arkadaşıyla birlikte kaçırılan 18 yaşındaki bir ilahiyat öğrencisinin ölümünü hatırlattı. Müzakereler ve fidye ödemesinin ardından diğer üçü serbest bırakılırken, o öldürüldü: “Tanrı’nın iradesiyle, kaçıranlar bir yıl sonra yakalandı ve onu öldürdüklerini itiraf ettiler; çünkü silahlarına ve Müslüman olduklarını bilmelerine rağmen, o, suçlarından tövbe edip Tanrı’ya dönmeleri gerektiğini ısrarla söylemişti!” Piskopos, o günden beri Piskoposluk Konutu’na bu ilahiyat öğrencisinin adını vermiş; …Daha çox
Today, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Bishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann, 66, of Speyer, Germany, due to health reasons. He had led the Diocese of Speyer since March 2008. Bishop Wiesemann said that "the burden of the extensive responsibility has taken a serious physical and psychological toll on me." Depression and Health Bishop Wiesemann had previously suffered from depression. In 2021, he withdrew from his duties for about seven months for health reasons, including inpatient treatment. He later publicly identified the illness as depression. In May 2026, he spoke about his experience at the Katholikentag in Würzburg during an event on depression and mental health. He attributed his depression to prolonged pressures including the demands of episcopal office, financial and structural problems in the diocese and, above all, the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis.
