Lombardy's Bishops on Their Phones: All ten bishops of Lombardy gathered from July 5–10 at the Hermitage of Montecastello in Tignale del Garda for their annual Spiritual Exercises, led by Bishop Massimiliano Palinuro, Apostolic Administrator of Istanbul. They met "for prayer, reflection, and fraternity." The photo showing the bishops all looking down at their phones could be reading the Breviary.

Many bishops in the USA (and elsewhere) forbid Catholics from attending Mass in chapels belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, yet they welcome schismatics and homosexuals. Three examples: Arlington Bishop: FSSPX Sacraments Are "Invalid" Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, instructed Catholics to “avoid participating in the activities of the FSSPX.” In a letter dated 8 July, he wrote that "any celebrations of the sacraments of confession and matrimony by the FSSPX are invalid, and the administration of other sacraments is illicit". In September 2025, Bishop Burbidge said that his meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew was “incredible,” and marked a “historic moment of Christian unity”. Covington Bishop: FSSPX Mass Is "Abuse of Eucharist" Bishop John Iffert of Covington, Kentucky, said in a recent statement that the sacraments from the FSSPX are “illicit”: “The Masses these priests celebrate are an abuse of the Eucharist, insofar as they make the …තව
Doesn't Rome recognize the confessions and marriages of the schismatic Orthodox as valid? So if the SSPX is in schism, it should be given the same favor.
Patrick Coffin sits down with journalist Christine Niles (@ChristineNiles1) for a frank discussion on the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), including its canonical situation, excommunications, governance/oversight challenges, and reported issues such as handling of abuse allegations. The conversation was broadcast live earlier today on X and simulcast on YouTube/Facebook. Ways to watch the full replay: Patrick Coffin • Search YouTube: “Patrick Coffin SSPX Christine Niles” or “CoffinMedia SSPX” (likely uploaded to his channel shortly after the live) • Or check Patrick Coffin’s X (@CoffinMedia), YouTube, or Facebook for the archived video This appears to be one of the more balanced recent treatments of the topic. Worth watching and discerning in light of Church teaching on authority, the sacraments, and the ongoing quest for full unity and reform in the Church. Deo gratias for journalists and voices willing to examine difficult matters.
Rev. Alfons Gea, a Catalan priest and cousin of Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, has appeared to confirm the sexual nature of allegations against the 74-year-old Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Cardinal López, a Spanish-born Salesian, is a prominent supporter of Pope Francis’s agenda, was appointed Archbishop of Rabat in 2017 and a cardinal in 2019. On Monday, he announced that he would temporarily withdraw from public celebrations and pastoral ministry while the Vatican conducts a preliminary investigation into allegations involving at least five adult women. He has admitted to “inappropriate behaviour” but denies committing sexual assault, violence, or harassment. ElPaís.com has described the allegations as sexual abuse, rather than merely inappropriate hugs or gestures. Writing for Exaudi.org, Rev. Gea said his cousin had already begun privately accepting the possible consequences: “The image of a papabile, a figure who enjoyed such widespread affection, has come crashing down." And: …තව

Iran declares Strait of Hormuz closed until US ends ‘illegal’ interventions Tehran has defied President Donald Trump’s demands to fully reopen the strategic waterway to shipping Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to shipping until the US ends what it called its “illegal” interference in the region. The statement came as the US reportedly pressed Iranian negotiators to declare the strait fully open to commercial shipping following talks with mediators in Oman on Saturday. “The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until further notice and until the end of US intervention in the region. No ship will be permitted to transit the waterway,” the IRGC Navy said. “If the enemy uses the incident it itself caused as a pretext to make another mistake and launch a new act of aggression against us, it will be met with a forceful response, and enemy bases in the region will …තව
The Roman Rite Returns to Another Monastery: Today, twelve Benedictine monks from Le Barroux officially established a new monastic community at Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine Abbey in western France. Founded in the early 12th century, the abbey was home to Trappist monks from 1816 until their departure in 2025. Fr. Raphaël, the new prior, paid tribute to the departing community: "The monastery is in very good condition. The brothers cared for it until the very end, always hoping they could remain." And: "Our liturgy will be celebrated in Latin and Gregorian chant. There will be those who like it and those who do not. Each person must discern for himself."
Douze moines de l’abbaye du Barroux, dans le Vaucluse, s’installeront aujourd’hui à l’abbaye Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine, en Maine-et-Loire, relançant ainsi une vie bénédictine interrompue depuis 1642, après le départ des moines trappistes en 2025.

Your Heart Determines Your Eternal Family The true measure of being a child of God is not just baptism, but striving to do God’s will, as exemplified by the woman in the first reading. This striving involves living out our baptismal vows, seeking God’s will, and serving others with charity. God desires a genuine relationship with us, and this is achieved through our efforts to align our lives with His will, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Fr.

Homosexual Couple Sues Surrogate for Refusing to Abort Their Son: A Canadian homosexual male couple is suing the surrogate mother who carried "their" son after she refused their 2024 request to abort him at 22 weeks because of a cleft lip. Filed in Ontario Superior Court in May 2026, the lawsuit seeks about $600,000, alleging the surrogate withheld medical information, breached confidentiality, and caused emotional distress. She denies the allegations, saying the dispute began after she refused the abortion request and adding, "I just feel used... They didn't get the perfect child they wanted, and they threw me away."

... while leaving untouched those who proclaim a worldview that is totally incompatible with the Sacred Tradition of the Church. At Fatima, the Blessed Mother warned Sister Lucia that the final battle would be over marriage and the family. When we look at our world today, we can see how true that warning was: Marriage, the family, the innocence of children, and even the meaning of man and woman are all under assault. But this battle did not begin in our own time. To understand it, we have to go back to Sacred Scripture, to Sodom and Gomorrah. For many years there has been an effort to redefine the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some have claimed that the cities were destroyed merely because they lacked hospitality. Certainly, hospitality was a sacred duty in the ancient world, but that explanation simply does not do justice to what the Scriptures actually tell us. When the angels came to Sodom and entered Lot’s home, the men of the city surrounded the house and demanded that the visitors …තව

Bishop Joseph Williams of Camden, New Jersey, has suppressed the Mass in the Roman rite at St. Gianna Beretta Molla Parish in Northfield. The final Roman Mass was celebrated on June 28. The excuse used to end the Mass was the retirement of Father Anthony J. Manuppella. The priest who has taken over as an administrator knows how to say the Roman rite, but lacks permission to celebrate. Instead, he offers a Sunday noon Novus Ordo in Latin, celebrated ad orientem. According to parishioners and blog posts, Bishop Williams did not renew the permission required for the Mass to continue. Below is an English user comment from a parishioner published on Wdtprs.com: "The Bishop has rejected all pleas for mercy and charity from our retiring pastor, our dedicated altar servers, and congregation to allow our Traditional Latin Mass to continue".

Canada Just Admitted Justin Trudeau's Climate Agenda Was A Scam BY TYLER DURDEN Authored by Andrew Moran via LibertyNation.com Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave Canada a lost decade. A key contributor to the country’s stagnation was the Liberal government’s obsession with climate change and its ushering in of green energy policies that were disastrous for a nation rich in natural resources. To make Canada great again, Prime Minister Mark Carney is abandoning climate alarmism and embracing what made the country wealthy in the first place: crude oil. Canada Loves Oil Again On June 30, the prime minister published a 17-minute YouTube video, focused exclusively on his predecessor's climate agenda. He used words like "expensive" and "divisive" to describe Trudeau's environmental endeavors. Carney essentially admitted that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives were right. For right-wing political pundits, this was a rare win for the incumbent. Indeed, in a bid to resuscitate the …තව
1) Dismantling of Catholic Church doctrine and the two-millennia-old tradition brick by brick, to adapt it to the Agenda 2030. a) Mark 8:33; Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For your thoughts are not those of God, but of men.” b) John 7: 18; "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the Glory of Him who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him." 2) Desecration of the Catholic Church through Syncretism of the Catholic Faith with paganism. Desecrating it through the goddess Pachamama and the introduction of the worship of Islam in the Vatican, and urging the faithful to discover Islam, the religion of Baal. They invited the practice of other pagan religions into the Vatican. a) Deuteronomy 30:17-18; But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, if you let yourself be led astray into bowing down to other gods and worshiping them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish. b) Exodus 32:19-21; When Moses came near the …තව
