Bishop Athanasius Schneider has criticised Pope Leo XIV’s August 26 presentation of the post-conciliar liturgical reform. He argued that the Novus Ordo does not correspond to what the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council intended. Speaking to AdVaticanum.com on September 2, Schneider also argued that non-definitive teachings of Vatican II can be amended or corrected. Conciliar Formulations Can Be Corrected Bishop Schneider referred to the Council of Florence (1431 to 1449), citing two doctrinal statements that were later discussed and corrected by the Church. One concerned Holy Orders. Florence identified the handing over of the sacred instruments as the matter of priestly ordination rather than the laying on of hands, despite the latter having been practiced during the first millennium. Schneider noted that Pope Pius XII later definitively taught that the matter of ordination is the laying on of hands, thereby formally correcting Florence. Schneider also pointed to Florence’s teaching …Engeta
Today, Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Ferenc Palánki, 62, as the new Metropolitan Archbishop of Kalocsa-Kecskemét, Hungary. Palánki has led the Diocese of Debrecen-Nyíregyháza since 2015. A canon lawyer, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Eger in 2010 and ordained a bishop in 2011. 2015: Pro-Migration against Hungarian Cardinal During the migration crisis in 2015, Palánki was asked whether he sides with Cardinal Erdő and Bishop Kiss-Rigó (both took anti-migrant lines) or with the Pope's call to take migrants in. He chose Francis: "We say what the pope says: let's take in the refugees, regardless of their religion.” He invoked the Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations... Now we don't have to go, because many people are coming here.” As Priest, Played Guitar at Eucharists In a 2020 interview, Palánki argued that contemporary music can belong inside the liturgy, not merely at youth meetings. He said: “I regard music in the liturgy as form. The emphasis is never on the …Engeta

On August 24, 2024, Rev. Edgard Rimaycuna, Leo XIV’s personal secretary, shared on his Facebook profile the press release issued by the Peruvian Episcopal Conference (CEP) announcing the disqualification of canon lawyer Ricardo Coronado, reports InfoVaticana.com. At the time, the canon lawyer represented the three victims of Father Eleuterio Vásquez, known as “Lute.” Rev. Rimaycuna shared it on the same day it was published, adding one comment: “For those who want to stay informed.” Rimaycuna was a disciple of Lute, according to Santiago Roncagliolo’s book The Shepherd and the Wolves. According to InfoVaticana, Lute admitted that he sexually abused minor girls and maintained that it was not a crime because there had been no “complete sexual act.” The Lawyer Was Disqualified The CEP statement said that the bishops had “determined” that the Rev. Ricardo Coronado Arrascue “cannot receive approval to act as an ecclesiastical lawyer” and that he should be prohibited from “acting as counsel …Engeta

The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Engeta

Dutch Central Bank Cuts Gold Reserves in U.S., Citing ‘Geopolitical Unrest’ nytimes.com/…/03/world/europe/netherlands-gold-re… The Netherlands moved some 90 tons of gold out of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, the second European nation this year to announce it had decreased or eliminated U.S. gold holdings. By Ephrat Livni Sept. 3, 2026, 4:07 p.m. ET The central bank of the Netherlands has transferred a large part of its gold reserves out of the United States since March, citing “increasing geopolitical unrest” and the need to be prepared for crisis. The bank, De Nederlandsche Bank, said in a statement on Wednesday that it had moved more than a quarter of the 345 U.S. tons of gold it had been holding in North America to London between March and August, and deposited it at the Bank of England, whose bullion holdings are “regarded as the world’s most tradable gold and will therefore be the most readily available” should a crisis arise. “With this relocation, we have improved the …Engeta
Rainbow Dance at the Altar Includes Men in Skirts: On August 15, at the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Torrelavega, Spain, parish priest Juan Carlos Rodríguez del Pozo introduced a “contemplative dance” in which men and women wearing large, rainbow colored skirts danced in a circle around “the table of the Eucharist.” Explaining its symbolism, he said: “We’re going to see many colors, which symbolize… diversity”. After the dance, he added: “We are a welcoming, diverse community, where nobody is superfluous, where we all (todos) feel at home, whoever/however we may be.” In the homily, Rodríguez del Pozo rejected a faithful understanding of Our Lady’s bodily Assumption: “No human being is going to ascend to heaven body and soul.”
l párroco anunció: «Pues ahora vamos a contemplar al grupo de danza contemplativa de la parroquia […] que nos va a hacer un guiño en este 125 aniversario. Vamos a ver muchos colores que simbolizan el rosetón […] los colores, la diversidad, la alegría […] Van a danzar en círculo. El círculo es la perfección […] Alrededor de la mesa de la Eucaristía nadie sobra […] Pues vamos, en estas claves, a disfrutar un momentito de esto».

2. Historical Context and "Dance Manias" Catholic history records instances where mass dancing was interpreted through the lens of spiritual affliction or divine punishment.

Bishop Ángel Javier Pérez Pueyo of Barbastro-Monzón, Spain, has said he would offer his resignation rather than sign a settlement under which the statue of Our Lady of the Angels of Torreciudad remains permanently at the Opus Dei sanctuary. The bishop drew his red line in a public letter on 31 August, ahead of the image’s return to its ancient hermitage on 5 September for the 47th Pilgrimage of the Virgins of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe. That return is temporary. It has been authorized by Archbishop Alejandro Arellano Cedillo, the pontifical commissioner for Torreciudad. After the pilgrimage, the image is due to return to the sanctuary. Bishop Pérez Pueyo’s threat concerns the final settlement: he refuses to accept an arrangement under which the statue remains there permanently and returns to the hermitage only on special occasions. He would "never sign such an unlikely act of plundering your dignity," he wrote, adding he would instead offer his resignation. The dispute has effectively been …Engeta
A Bishop is willing to resign over the location of a sacred image, but not over ongoing sacrilegious practices that continue in so many churches in one's diocese, abuses of the Blessed Sacrament, LGBTQ processions and Masses, etc.. Where is the like zeal of any Bishop for the such causes?
Tragic. But this shows us what can happen in a country which keep worshipping budha demon, instead to accept the Lord Jesus Chist and Him as only God and only King of all universe. This will become more common and is going to happen more often to us, the Westerners. Because, I can tell you that with certaincy, there are a way too many budha demon statues to be seen on the windows at people houses in west europe. More dan ever before. While churches are burning to the ashes.
Monsignor Anthony Spinosa, 75, a Maronite Catholic priest, has been accused of engaging in a public homosexual act with registered sex offender Kenneth Kopp, 54, at Perkins Park in Warren, Ohio, according to Wfmj.com. Spinosa had served since 2002 as rector of the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in North Jackson. He was elevated to the rank of "Chorbishop" (prelate) in 2016. On Thursday, he was relieved of his ministerial assignment. The allegations stem from July 31, when a couple walking their dog told police they saw Kopp on his knees allegedly performing a homosex act on Spinosa, who was smoking a cigar. They further alleged that one of the men invited them to join in and offered to let them watch for payment. According to the police report, the incident occurred "in broad daylight," about 100 meters from a playground where children were present. Police subsequently found Kopp in a Honda Civic near a black rug and pink boots. A search of the vehicle uncovered wigs …Engeta

If I give a weapon to someone, knowing that they're going to kill with it, I'm jointly responsible. So Britain - through Prime Minister 'Bomber' Burnham - has admitted to several murders inside Russian territory George Galloway says Russia has the right absolutely legally entitled to act and take retaliatory measures against Britain. But counting on the good graces of President Putin in not doing what he is legally entitled to do in punishing Britain. Putin didn't do anything so far to anyone. Including Poland who tried to kill an officer in Russia. He knows who is behind the killing of many children and civilians. But it's his desire for peace that prevents him from retaliating against anyone knowing it would lead to a WW. Which He does not want for anyone. The Russians are being attacked by us, not the other way round ---
Willy Wimmer, former German defense official and key player in reunification, who exposes how U.S. and NATO betrayal after the Cold War lit the fuse for today’s Ukraine conflict. Wimmer reveals how American elites planned NATO expansion and even the breakup of Russia, long before the current war, turning Europe into a battleground for U.S. global dominance. He warns: the same forces pushing for war then are pushing harder now. He calls on Europe to reclaim its sovereignty, reject escalation, and embrace peace.
When the generation of the ’68ers passes away, the unfounded, one-sided attitudes against Latin and Gregorian chant will pass away as well, Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlGiornale.it on August 27. Benedict XVI’s liberalization of the Traditional Latin Mass had a positive and even corrective influence on abuses in the celebration of the Novus Ordo, Cardinal Sarah said. “Many priests testify that discovering the Extraordinary Form helped them to celebrate better.” Furthermore, the faithful could choose which form corresponded more closely to the fostering of the faith. “But all of this was brought to an abrupt end by Traditionis Custodes while the Pope Emeritus was still alive.” Francis’ restrictions on the Latin Mass were “neither a wise nor a respectful choice.” Cardinal Sarah added that access to “ritual forms that have existed for centuries can never be artificially restricted by decrees.” Without referring explicitly to the Novus Ordo, Sarah noted that a rite that did not serve the …Engeta

Who makes the decrees? When someone is murdered, is the gun put on trial, or the murderer? We are surrounded by wolves and he NEVER names even one. I don't trust him--he only rebukes imaginary people.
