Fr. Gerald Murray on the firing of Msgr. Stephen Rosetti by Cardinal Robert McElroy for his comments on the possible demonic nature of UFO phenomena: "The idea that a priest who thinks that UFOs are manifestation of a demonic power, that's not forbidden in Catholic theology".

Why Your Past Cannot Define You The saints exemplify extraordinary virtue, inspiring us to strive for holiness and imitate their good deeds. Though they may have started as sinners, their conversion and dedication to God transformed them into heroes of faith. We are called to follow their example, working to overcome our weaknesses, grow in virtue, and ultimately achieve perfection through pure charity and love for God and neighbor. Fr.

The Catholic Church in Mozambique and the Consolata Missionaries are mourning the sudden death of Bishop Osório Citora Afonso, IMC, Bishop of the Diocese of Quelimane and Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Beira. The death of the 54-year-old prelate was announced by Archbishop Inácio Saúre, President of the Episcopal Conference of Mozambique, in a message addressed to the Regional Superior of the Consolata Missionaries in Mozambique, Fr. Cassiano Kalima, IMC. According to Archbishop Saúre, Bishop Afonso was found lifeless in a corridor of the episcopal residence in Quelimane, bringing to an abrupt end the life and ministry of one of Mozambique’s most promising Church leaders. Responding to the sad news, Fr. Kalima called on the faithful to pray for the repose of the bishop’s soul, his biological family, the Consolata Missionaries, and the entire Catholic Church in Mozambique. “Let us pray for his eternal rest, for his family, for us as Consolata Missionaries, and for the …More
In his 2016 book The Francis Project: Where He Wants to Take the Church, Bishop Victor Manuel Fernández wrote that "God continues to work today through" the Jewish people and stated that Jews "do not need to become converts" and that "the Jewish religion does not need to disappear, because it surely has a value in the eyes of the supernatural God."
While I agree that the Jewish religion has value to the God, the Cardinal seems not to understand that the Jews were promised a earthy land, the riches of the temporary domination over the people of Esau. They were at no point promised eternal life. That promise is only to those redeemed in Christ. It is cruel to withhold the light and eternal life from those in the Jewish religion.
That horse left the barn ages ago when you have a Priest in the confessional saying a little masturbation and porn ok just don't get carried away told to a young man. That young man came from SSPX parish to Novus Odor because his mother brother is a Priest from society of St Peter said sspx is in schism . I warned her about Novus Odor Priest but the brother opinion over ruled. Mortal sin not so Mortal I guess. God help us
Clown Media from EWTN: Is the Church as Troubled as the SSPX Claims? While the Catholic Church faces serious difficulties, the situation is not as dire as the SSPX claims.
The encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas," praised by the author, is an attack on the Catholic faith because it, much like Teilhard de Chardin and the German philosopher Hegel, effectively strips Christ of His flesh by subsuming Him into a historical process, —reduces the Church to merely one voice within a pluralistic landscape, a voice that supposedly understands the Gospel better through other, secular voices, —denies the Blessed Mother any active role, insisting instead that we focus on a socially critical passage from the hymn she sang when visiting Elizabeth.
Same as Germany: Archbishop John Wester of of Santa Fe, USA, recently attended a meeting in Racine, Wisconsin, organized by the homosexual group New Ways Ministry. He wrote about this on AmericaMagazine.org on June 2. The meeting deepened his “pastoral concern, understanding and right judgment” about homosexuals. “As a Church, I fear we are not drawing near enough to our L.G.B.T.Q. brothers and sisters; we are not moving forward together on the same journey.” Archbishop Wester calls this “especially true when it comes to the experiences of our transgender and nonbinary people, many of whom feel we approach them with suspicion and hostility”. The sins by these people are for Archbishop Wester “deeply complex and personal human journeys”. His time in Racine was “an opportunity to gain a deeper, more empathetic view about transgender people”. The Archbishop started believing that “gender is determined by specialized areas within the brain” and compares sexual distortion to being left …More
The Catholic Church in Germany has opened a formal investigation into alleged Marian apparitions in a village that has attracted pilgrims for more than two decades. The Diocese of Aachen announced that Bishop Helmut Dieser has appointed a four-member commission to examine claims of supernatural phenomena reported in Sievernich, a village in North Rhine-Westphalia
The Diocese of Aachen in western Germany has set up a four-person commission to investigate alleged Marian apparitions in the village of Sievernich in the early 2000s. Pro-homosexual Bishop Helmut Dieser appointed the commission under new Vatican norms issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith for evaluating supernatural phenomena. The panel is chaired by canon lawyer Stefan Mückl of Rome. The visionary is a woman called Manuela Strack (pictured) from nearby Düren. She said she began seeing the Virgin Mary in Sievernich’s St. John the Baptist Church in the early 2000s. She described Our Lady as dressed in white with a long veil and said the messages emphasized prayer and support for those suffering. The reported apparitions attracted hundreds of pilgrims, particularly in October 2002, when Strack announced what she described as the final scheduled apparition. She later claimed to have experienced further irregular encounters until 2005. However, a second phase began in …More
Hymns for the Medieval Office of Corpus Christi When Pope Urban IV promulgated the feast of Corpus Christi in 1264, he also offered a complete set of Mass and Office texts composed at his behest by St Thomas Aquinas. These are rightly recognized to be among the finest of the High Middle Ages, and have been treasured by Catholics as the official liturgical expression of Eucharistic devotion for many centuries. However, the feast had already been established almost two decades earlier in the city of Liège; in his bull Transiturus, Pope Urban refers to the visionary St Juliana of Mont-Cornillon, who had composed an office of Corpus Christi before St Thomas. Her assistant in this task and in the promotion of the feast was a canon of the church of St Martin in Liège, John of Lausanne; this church and several others continued to use the older Office or parts thereof well after Pope Urban’s time. In a 15th-century manuscript of St Juliana’s life, a note is added by a later hand that refers …

@ Jeffrey Ade, frawley, petrus100452...As I clearly showed you the example of Rachel in the Bible who has a mothers heart for murdered babies whereas Fatima has no regard for murdered babies and reveals her cruel heart. Abortion is the attempted murder of Jesus Christ in the womb.... Matthew 25:40-45, where Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Also abortion is the same sin as Satan, Cain and Judas all at the same time...I feel sorry for your 3 souls at judgement.
