Unam Sanctam Catholic Infallible Dogma One God, One Faith, One Spiritual Authority Pope Boniface VIII - 1302 Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302 Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed. We venerate …More
Fiction, but not entirely. A film starring Trevor Howard and Martin Sheen. Don't miss it: For the liturgical year of 1970, Paul VI instituted the New Mass. However, on a remote Irish island, some monks continued to pray the Tridentine Mass. When the faithful learned of this, they began from over the world to attend Sunday Mass, which was broadcast on television. This brought the matter to the attention of Vatican authorities, who sent an official to convince the monks that they could not continue on this path.

Più che bucatini all'amatriciana, penne pomodoro e... basilica. Con vista, piuttosto ampia, sulle polemiche. Torna a far discutere la decisione del Vaticano di aprire un punto di ristorazione sul tetto di San Pietro, il celeberrimo Cupolone, luogo simbolo non solo della città eterna ma anche della cristianità mondiale. ...E invece ad alzare la serranda, in alcuni dei locali che un tempo servivano per il ricovero dei materiali usati dagli addetti alla cura della basilica, dovrebbe invece essere un vero e proprio bistrot, destinato a essere paradiso di quei palati pronti a peccare di gola. L'occasione... golosa - Sfumata l'occasione di inaugurarlo durante il Giubileo, resterebbe quella dei 400 anni dall'apertura di San Pietro, datata novembre 1626. Un'occasione piuttosto golosa per sfoggiare il nuovo locale, che sempre in base alle informazioni raccolte dovrebbe sfruttare al meglio anche il grande terrazzamento in grado di offrire una spettacolare visuale su tutta Roma.

Mother Miriam has done a complete 180 on the SSPX: "God has established His Church, his universe, everything on obedience, everything on obedience. Children are to obey their parents, not if their parents are holy and right, in everything but sin. Wives are to submit to their husbands, not because they're holy, not because they're right, but because God has given them that position — again, in everything but sin. Religious are to obey their superiors, whether their superior is right or holier than them, or no matter what it is, they are to obey in everything. And Christ's sheep, which is us, every one of us is to obey the successor of Peter, whether we know for sure he is, whether we agree with him, whether we can point out definite heresy. If he's the Pope, then we obey in everything but sin. We don't come against him. So that's where I left it yesterday, and my heart was completely converted."

Cardinal Gambetti Expected to Leave St. Peter's Basilica: According to AdVaticanum, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti is expected to step down as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica by the end of the summer and become Archbishop of Chieti, a move seen as a demotion. The report attributes the change to Gambetti's fatigue after several demanding years, as well as controversies over security incidents at the basilica, administrative reforms, and other disputes. It also says his close association with Father Enzo Fortunato, who faced criticism over the World Children's Day initiative, weakened his position.
Three reasons: -Multiple personal leadership failures -Open war with the Chapter of Canons over power, money… and plastic chairs - The fallout from his initial trust with Fr Enzo Fortunato, whose handling of World Children’s Day left questions about wasted money,who is expected to leave anyways
