Bishop Wilmer Praises "Established Tradition" of Lay Preaching during Eucharists

"For me, the Church is synodal," said Bishop Heiner Wilmer, 65, in an interview with Kirche-Und-Leben.de on 21 August. He is the chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference. In March 2026, Pope Leo XIV promoted the pro-homosexual bishop to Münster, the largest diocese in Germany.
Monsignor Wilmer said that synodality is "deeply rooted" in Münster diocese. He added that he was looking forward to "the common journey with many baptised people, but also internationally, ecumenically, and with our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters".
Grateful for Lay Preaching
When asked about lay preaching during Eucharists, Bishop Wilmer admitted that he there are "many" baptised women and men who had been engaging with this issue for years, and that a culture had developed around it.
Wilmer has "great respect for this established tradition" and is "deeply grateful" for it.
He is "convinced that the wonderful pastoral workers will find a good way to deal with the circumstances” - taking about the Vatican's …Siwaju sii

African Bishop: Church in West Became Like the World

“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. …Siwaju sii

Liturgical Abuse: Let Catholicism Look Catholic
There’s a post circulating online about a recently ordained Catholic priest in the Philippines, and honestly, the criticism being directed at him raises a much bigger question than the vestments themselves.
The priest was photographed wearing what many Catholics would recognize as traditional Roman vesture: a fiddleback Roman chasuble, a beautifully decorated laced alb, a maniple, and a biretta. And apparently, this was enough for someone to become seriously concerned. Not because the priest was changing the words of the Mass. Not because he was inventing his own Eucharistic Prayer. Not because he was adding random songs, clapping, dancing, theatrics, or turning the sanctuary into a stage. No. The concern was that he was wearing traditional vestments.
And somehow this became a discussion about liturgical abuse.
Really?
We need to stop for a second and ask ourselves what exactly we mean when we use the term “liturgical abuse.” Because if …Siwaju sii

Lourdes Will Finally Cover All Rupnik Mosaics

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.

Slovak pro-LGBT Catholic priest Adam Štefanec, 29, of the Diocese of Žilina said in an August 12 video that he does not like the word “God.” Rev. Štefanec believes that the term had accumulated so many associations that it no longer speaks to people today. “I try to find words that are universal,” he said, naming “humanity” as a universal value. Asked what Christ wants from people, Rev. Štefanec said the answer is “different for everyone,” different in every age, and “constantly changing.” Previously, Rev. Štefanec has supported homosex civil partnerships and said that homosexuality is not a sin.

Cardinal Burke on “Unworthy” Popes: Catholics can legitimately object to a pope’s words or actions, Cardinal Raymond Burke said in an August 18 video by the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, noting that sometimes the pope simply “speaks as a man.” He added that earlier popes spoke more cautiously to avoid confusing personal opinions with authoritative teaching. And: “Even if there were popes who did not fulfill their ministry in a worthy way, the office of the Vicar of Christ on earth stands and will always stand in the Catholic Church.” Burke also appears to make a small slip of the tongue, referring to the pope as the “successor of Christ” rather than the successor of St. Peter.

Prevost was installed through an agreement with Bergoglio, who made him a bishop and then a fake anti-cardinal, since Bergoglio was installed by the freemasons and didn't have the power to consecrate cardinals. A true Catholic disobeys and denounces the heresies and blasphemies of the usurper Prevost, who pretends to be 'Pope' to spread his leftist politics, homosexuality, and synodal syncretism. All for the eternal damnation of souls.

St. Pius X Welcomed Criticism

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
– Folha de S. Paulo, March 18, 1973 –
The Santiago Chancery has so far refused to publish anything about the Chilean TFP’s manifesto. My perplexity grows with each passing day, as I see no valid reason for this silence.
The manifesto’s subject matter is of utmost importance because it concerns the Pastors’ fulfillment of their mission to protect their sheep — and, by extension, the entire country — from the effects of communist propaganda.
The manifesto has more than enough intellectual substance to attract the attention of Chile’s Bishops Conference. Its doctrine is irreproachable, the facts it alleges are supported by extensive documentation, the exposition is well-connected, and its language is clear and elevated.
Furthermore, I am informed that the manifesto has been widely publicized by several Chilean newspapers, radio and television stations. It deserves a refutation, at least out of deference to the immense audience that has taken note of it.

Only 45% of US Bishops Say Homosexuality Disqualifies from Priesthood

The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock.
The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025.
The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder.
On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination.
The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things:

The foolishness of man ...

"The foolishness of man. For nothing is more foolish than to live in idleness in the present life, where a man ought to work for himself so that he may live in eternity. He found them idle in the market place. (Matt. 20:3) This market place is the present life. The market placee, or forum, is called the place in which lawsuits are conducted and in which buying and selling take place; and it signifies the present life, which is full of disputes, of buying and selling, and in which even the benefits of grace, progress, and heavenly glory are sold in exchange for good works. And those men were idle because they had already lost part of their life. And they are called idle not only those who do evil, but also those who do not do good. And just as the idle do not attain their end, neither do these. The end of man is eternal life. Therefore, he who works in the way he ought will obtain it, provided he is not idle."

Leo XIV Calls for Ecological Conversion and Pacifism

Today, Leo XIV published a message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.
He adopts the ecological vocabulary closely associated with Francis’ pontificate. Citing Laudato Si’, he speaks of an “authentic ecological conversion” and in metaphors such as “the ecosystems of the human heart.”
The message also contains a naïve statement on warfare. “The true tools for building peace are not weapons of destruction,” Leo writes, listing instead “truth, dialogue, patience, goodness, justice, mercy, understanding, care and love.”
Leo XIV enfolds an earthly program of disarmament, poverty reduction and ecological improvement: “Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom.”

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.”

Dear Son,
A good woman can multiply what you bring into a relationship; the wrong partner can slowly drain it away.
Son, there’s something I want you to understand before you choose the person you’ll build your life with: relationships magnify what already exists between two people. Love can grow. Peace can deepen. Dreams can become shared goals. But resentment, selfishness, and disrespect can grow just as quickly.
That’s why character matters far more than appearance, charm, or first impressions.
1. A good woman multiplies your effort
You give her a house, and together you make it feel like home. You bring groceries through the door, and somehow an ordinary dinner becomes a place where people laugh, talk, and reconnect. You share a dream with her, and instead of dismissing it, she helps you turn it into something real.
The right woman doesn’t simply take from what you build. She contributes her own strength, ideas, work, and love.
But with the wrong person, the same opportunities can …Siwaju sii

Pope Leo will support the traditionalists, when Fr. Davide Pagliarani announces that LG 8, 14, 16 etc refer to hypothetical and invisible cases only in 1965-2026.
When LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to invisible and theoretical cases, then we have unity in the Church. The liberals and traditionalists affirm Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed with no exceptions and an ecumenism of return with no known exceptions in 2026. Pope Leo XI and Cardinal Victor Fernandez are aligned with Roberto dei Mattei and the Lepanto Foundation. Alberto Melloni of the FSCIRE in Bologna is aligned doctrinally with Fabrizio Lastei spokesman for Militia Christi.
The media can no more criticize the Society of St. Pius X or Militia Christi as being an extremist organization. Since the Council interpreted rationally (LG 16 invisible) supports the conservatives. This is irrespective if they go for the Latin or Novus Ordo Mass.
