The Vatican's reasoning for the ban on lay preaching is "not entirely consistent," Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz told Katholisch.de on August 11. "The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Lay Preaching Is No Problem In the Diocese of Mainz, occasional lay preaching has become an established practice and Bishop Kohlgraf has no intention of changing that. In some parishes, "it is customary for laypeople to preach," he said. "If I hear about it, I won't take disciplinary action or impose canonical sanctions." "Denunciations" Are a Problem Bishop Kohlgraf is concerned that the directive from Rome could encourage "denunciations": "There are people who report liturgical violations straight to the bishop and write directly to me. That happened before too - individual people would complain to me - but …بیہ
Today, Leo XIV has appointed eight new members to the Vatican’s Council for the Economy. It is responsible for supervising the Holy See’s financial and administrative structures. He confirmed Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx as coordinator of the body. Furthermore, Leo XIV confirmed German law professor Charlotte Kreuter-Kirchhof as vice-coordinator. She participated in the German Synodal Way, personally advocating the involvement of the faithful in episcopal selection. She urged delegates that implementation could begin without waiting for Rome: “You don't have to wait for anything or anyone.” The new members include four cardinals: Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, Archbishop of Kraków, Poland; Cardinal Ladislav Nemet, S.V.D., Archbishop of Belgrade, Serbia; Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, O.P., Archbishop of Algiers, Algeria; and Cardinal Roberto Repole, Archbishop of Turin and Bishop of Susa, Italy. Leo XIV also appointed four lay members: Denis Duverne, president of the Supervisory Board of the …بیہ

Today, Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk, 73, of Utrecht, in audience. AdVaticanum.com reported that the audience comes amid renewed attention to the cardinal’s health. Cardinal Eijk was absent from both extraordinary consistories convened by Pope Leo XIV this year, in January and June, with his absence from the June gathering reported as health-related. His health problems stretch back more than two decades. In 2001, while serving as Bishop of Groningen, he suffered a brainstem infarction. One of its lasting consequences was severe facial pain. On March 2, 2020, the Archdiocese of Utrecht published excerpts from a letter Cardinal Eijk had sent that day to members of pastoral teams. The letter concerned treatment he had undergone abroad for the facial pain caused by his 2001 brainstem infarction. Cardinal Eijk wrote: “I never made public statements about this facial pain, because I wanted to prevent people from sparing me because of it and from being reluctant to call …بیہ
British Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham is "a non-Catholic Catholic kind of guy", UK-based writer Steven Tucker argues on August 7 on CrisisMagazine.com. Burnham has absorbed a specifically left-wing, Liverpool strain of Catholic Social Teaching that is socialism in disguise. Main points: Archbishop Derek Worlock (1920–1996) of Liverpool had a significant influence on Burnham during his youth. As an altar boy, Burnham played tapes of Worlock's sermons in which he criticised the central government for neglecting the North West. Burnham considered the "vast majority" of staff at his Catholic schools to be Labour supporters who encouraged him in that direction. In 2012, Burnham said that "what I used to read in the catechism - the realisation of it on Earth - was the Labour Party'. He has campaigned, voted and marched for homosex "marriage", homosex adoption and gender policies. He has even supported male access to women's facilities. While mayor of Manchester, he took part in a city …بیہ
Pope Leo’s Heartbreak Over War-Torn Sudan and Ukraine Pope Leo made his Angelus address on August 9 to draw the world’s attention to the heartbreaking suffering caused by war in Sudan and Ukraine. Speaking with deep concern, the Pope highlighted Sudan’s worsening humanitarian crisis, where more than 500,000 people are reportedly cut off from basic supplies amid the brutal conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Armed Forces. Behind these numbers are families facing hunger, fear and uncertainty. Drone attacks, sexual violence and starvation have made an already devastating crisis even more painful for innocent civilians. The Pope also lamented the continuing bloodshed in Ukraine, where the war with Russia continues to claim lives and intensify suffering. As violence spreads and human lives are lost, Pope Leo renewed his urgent appeal for peace, protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian law. His message carries a simple truth: behind every statistic …بیہ
The Peruvian naturalization file of Robert Prevost preserves a handwritten letter in which he expressed his desire to remain in Peru “for the rest of my life.” The documentation, held by Peru’s National Superintendency of Migration, records the process through which the American-born Prevost obtained Peruvian citizenship in 2015 after years of pastoral work in the country. According to TVPerú Noticias, Prevost submitted his application in 2015 and addressed a handwritten letter to then-President Ollanta Humala explaining his ties to Peru and formally requesting nationality. As part of the naturalization process, Prevost also underwent an examination on Peruvian history, geography and culture. Héctor Pérez, head of Migraciones’ General Archive, said the future pope achieved an exceptionally high result. The essential details of Prevost’s naturalization are confirmed by official Peruvian records. Supreme Resolution No. 157-2015-IN, dated August 17, 2015, states that Prevost applied for …بیہ
Deep Dives @DeepDivesUsa THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. His lawyers didn’t show up to negotiate. They showed up to BEG. Here’s what Bondi’s team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama’s codename — RENEGADE: — 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.” — A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN. — Communications with Epstein’s handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.” — A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office. He didn’t just betray America. He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired.

Do they have proof those things were done? Or just lying and twisting more things which this administration is famous for? And everyone who seeks the truth, seeks to see the other over 3,000,000 files which they refuse to release. What are they hiding? Whom are they protecting. I don't trust a word one person in this administration says. Release the other over 3,000,0000 files. Start showing real proof. Not edited, not fake pictures or ai. Show us what they really found. Maybe, just maybe we might believe something from them Until then? I don't even bother to listen to a word any of them say.
Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Piotr Pytłowany, 57, as the new Bishop of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. He is a fidei donum missionary priest of the Polish Archdiocese of Przemyśl. Kazakh Catholicism is small and deeply marked by Soviet persecution, particularly in Karaganda with a strong consciousness of the martyrs. Liturgical practice is pious and Communion in the hand forbidden. Monsignor Pytłowany has worked for decades within the tiny and very Catholic Kazakh hierarchy. Unlike Bishop Schneider, Pytłowany publicly embraced the 2022 Astana interreligious Congress with Francis and spoke - in language reminiscent of the Abu Dhabi fraternity approach - of Kazakhstan’s “beautiful diversity of religious confessions.” Background on Karaganda Karaganda is famous for its Catholicism, connected with Bishop Jan Paweł Lenga, 76. From 1991–1999, Bishop Lenga was Apostolic Administrator of the entire Kazakhstan. After Catholic structures were reorganized in 1999, he became Bishop of Karaganda until …بیہ

Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, removed in June as an exorcist by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy, is continuing his deliverance ministry. In an August 3 email to subscribers, Monsignor Rossetti said he remains a priest in good standing in his home Diocese of Syracuse, New York, and will continue his work through the St. Michael Center, which operates within the territory of the Washington archdiocese. On June 3, Cardinal McElroy removed Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist and ended all affiliation between the Archdiocese of Washington and Rossetti's St. Michael Center. Monsignor Rossetti argues that he retains priestly faculties in several dioceses and exorcist faculties in two others. He also says his own bishop has encouraged him to continue the ministry. The June controversy followed Rossetti's eccentric claim that UFOs "are, in fact, demons." Cardinal McElroy - who had removed him for this claim - later said the decision was not about UFOs but reflected his view that the role of an …بیہ
Read this garbage: Msgr Rossetti says " sexual abuse of minors by mothers could more easily be disguised as ordinary acts of cleaning, grooming or dressing children." If it is true that he said this, such a thought could only come from a rotten, corrupt mind. Our mothers -our blessed, beloved mothers- could never do such a thing! Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me since I was a baby!
Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo plans the first diocesan synod in Oslo before the 2030 jubilee of St. Olaf. “A diocesan synod is not a democratic assembly,” Bishop Hansen wrote on August 6 on Katolsk.no, the website of the Catholic Church in Norway. “As bishop, I am also obliged to exclude from the synod anything that contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church,” he added. “It is not for us to decide on matters of faith and morals.” The synod will arrive at plans and documents that are “presented to me as bishop and brought to a decision by me.” Bishop Hansen indicated that participation in the assemblies would probably resemble “a considerably expanded pastoral council.” He compared his diocesan synod with the synods held by St Archbishop Charles Borromeo of Milan “in accordance with the provisions of the Council of Trent.” However, his working method “will resemble that of the Second Vatican Council,” he threatened. Bishop Hansen recently extended permission for the …بیہ
A clever but meaningless pronouncement. Pope Leo XIV would feel quite comfortable in offering similar assurances. The problem with Conciliarism is that the teachings of the Second Vatican Council have allowed the Modernist leaders to determine what "contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church." They call it a "living" Magisterium.
