Renzo Pegoraro, Leo XIV-appointed President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, has doubled down on his mad position on assisted suicide. Following his Avvenire interview, Monsignor Pegoraro told Corriere.it that Italy should pursue a national law, calling on political parties to press Parliament for legislation rather than leaving the issue to regional authorities. On the same day, his predecessor, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, intervened in LaRepubblica.it, saying Parliament should “shoulder its responsibilities” and establish national rules. Archbishop Pegoraro also addressed a Trentino provincial council committee examining an assisted-suicide bill, where he again called for uniform national regulation. LaNuovaBq.it suggests the simultaneous interventions could point to coordinated Italian Church backing for a national assisted-suicide law, possibly involving Italian bishops’ president Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.
On 6 September, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. The group had planned to conclude their annual pilgrimage with public prayer inside the basilica. Individual pilgrims were permitted to enter privately or in small groups. The group therefore remained outside and concluded their pilgrimage in the basilica square. Father Gabriele D’Avino, head of the FSSPX in Italy, drew a contrast between this decision and the interreligious gathering in Assisi on 27 October, for which representatives of different religions and Christian denominations are expected to attend the 40th anniversary of the 1986 World Day of Prayer for Peace.

On 7 September, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller addressed the “Tavola di Assisi 2026”: “Islam… is not ashamed of God, it is not ashamed of transcendence, but it proposes an anthropology and a revelation radically different from the Christian ones.” Invoking St Francis of Assisi’s encounter with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil, Müller rejected the modern portrayal of Francis as a precursor of interreligious dialogue: “Francis did not go to Egypt to open a diplomatic salon and confirm the Sultan in his faith.” Instead, he went convinced that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. For Cardinal Müller, calling Muslims to conversion is “not an act of hostility… on the contrary, it is the highest act of charity.” He also warned that the Christian West is not “simply threatened by external forces, but is being worn down by an internal apostasy.”
Il cardinale Müller: "l'Islam non rispetta i cristiani deboli" Il cardinale Gerhard Ludwig Müller, nell'intervento alle Tavole di Assisi organizzate da Simone Pillon, affronta di petto il tema dell'Occidente logorato dal postumanesimo e dal nichilismo. E parla del rapporto con i musulmani: "Va rispettata la nostra identità". Video completo su YouTube: @TivuVerita

"Therefore Christ Himself, as man, was not only priest, but also a perfect victim, being at the same time victim for sin, victim for a peace-offering, and a holocaust." — St. Thomas Aquinas
The U.S. bishops’ Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has given the Washington Interfaith Network (WIN) more than $400,000 across nine grant cycles since 2009, including $25,000 in 2026. The controversy concerns WIN’s leadership and CCHD oversight. Former CCHD grant specialist Randy Keesler was responsible for the Washington, D.C., region while also holding leadership roles within WIN - creating a potential conflict of interest. WIN is now headed by Protestant preacher Alison Dunn-Almauger, its executive director, who backed a homosexual campaign at Baylor University. Even more striking is WIN strategy-team member Rev. Rob Keithan, who previously worked with Planned Parenthood.

The devil attacks those who spread Christian truth, “corrupts the shepherds” of the Church and seeks particularly to destroy the family, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told Shawn Ryan in his September 8 podcast. Ryan is a former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor. He grew up Catholic but never “took Church seriously”. When he left home, he lost faith. In 2025, he called himself a Christian believer. In April 2026, he said, “I consider myself Catholic, but I bounce back and forth between that and non-denominational.” In the interview with Burke, he said that he had undergone four exorcisms with two different priests after what he described as encounters with demonic entities. He also mentioned a psychedelic experience that he believed had shown him hell. Ryan described sensationalist disturbances that continued after the exorcisms, including picture frames coming off the walls, unexplained bodily “manifestations” and every smoke alarm and detector in his house repeatedly going off at around 12:45…Lebih
Completed in May 2026, the restoration of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska, revived its historic artistic character. Like many churches, its interior was disfigured in the mid-20th century, including the loss of its original apsidal fresco and installation of a monumental crucifix with a faux stained-glass-style backdrop. Conrad Schmitt Studios renewed the interior with stenciling, gold leaf, faux-marbled columns, and a new apsidal mural depicting the Ascension. The project also returned the high altar to prominence.
Before and After: St. Patrick's Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska
The final programme for the annual Rome pilgrimage of the Traditional Roman Rite (23–25 October) has been announced. However, there is a notable change this year: the pilgrims will enter St Peter's Basilica at 1 p.m. to pray, but there will be no Mass. Instead, pilgrims will travel to the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate Mass at 3 p.m. On Friday evening, Bishop Schneider will preside over Pontifical Vespers at the Pantheon. Unlike in previous years, no cardinal is scheduled to celebrate the principal liturgies. On Sunday, the traditional Feast of Christ the King, Masses will be held at San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini, Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini and Sant’Anna al Laterano. The organisers have expressed their gratitude to Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of St Mary Major, for welcoming the pilgrims. Picture: Don Elvir Tabaković, #newsFjtfiqeqpm
Iblis menyerang mereka yang menyebarkan kebenaran Kristen, “merusak para gembala” Gereja, dan secara khusus berusaha menghancurkan keluarga, demikian kata Kardinal Raymond Leo Burke kepada Shawn Ryan dalam podcastnya pada 8 September. Ryan adalah mantan anggota Navy SEAL dan kontraktor CIA. Ia dibesarkan dalam keluarga Katolik tetapi tidak pernah “menganggap Gereja dengan serius”. Ketika ia meninggalkan rumah, ia kehilangan iman. Pada tahun 2025, ia menyebut dirinya sebagai seorang penganut Kristen. Pada April 2026, ia berkata, “Saya menganggap diri saya Katolik, tetapi saya bolak-balik antara itu dan non-denominasi.” Dalam wawancara dengan Burke, ia mengatakan bahwa ia telah menjalani empat eksorsisme dengan dua imam berbeda setelah apa yang ia gambarkan sebagai pertemuan dengan entitas setan. Ia juga menyebutkan pengalaman psikedelik yang ia yakini telah memperlihatkan kepadanya neraka. Ryan menggambarkan gangguan-gangguan sensasional yang terus berlanjut setelah ritual pengusiran …Lebih
[unamsanctamcatholicam] There is a well-known quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, to which I have always been partial. It goes, "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." Doyle's quote speaks to the mechanics of problem solving—those sincerely interested in getting to the heart of a matter must be willing to put all options on the table. This is especially true when the difficulty is seemingly insoluble and defies easy explanation. In such cases, when all obvious options have been exhausted, reason dictates that we proceed down the line to those less obvious. We already know what doesn't work; our task is to discover what does, however counterintuitive it might seem. This attitude is, in my experience, what characterizes people and organizations who are truly interested in problem solving versus those who wish only to pay lip service to it whilst refusing to seriously try to fix …Lebih
Sabrina (LionHearted) @LionHearted76 They wrote it down, entered it into federal court, and still somehow expect us to pretend this is just “diversity.” Brigitte Gabriel is holding in her hand the Muslim Brotherhood’s 100 year plan to infiltrate and destroy America from within written in May 22, 1991. “This plan was presented as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism trial ever in the history of the United States where our government handed down 108 guilty verdicts for Muslim-Americans and Muslim-American foundations raising money to support terrorist organizations in the Middle East to the tune of millions.” A paragraph from the plan: “Understanding the role of the Muslim brother in North America. The process of settlement is a civilization Jihadist process with all the words mean. Brothers must understand that their work in America is a kind of brand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house …Lebih
