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: …Saleuwihna
Post is from 2018. Eastern events of recent years. "In 2013", said the Russian Patriarch, "the heads of local Orthodox Churches came to Moscow to celebrate the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus, and when they met Vladimir Putin, one of the strongest messages was the request that Russia should accept to take part in the protection of Christians in the Middle East. I am pleased", Kirill added, "that this happened, and thanks to Russia's intervention, the genocide of Christians was stopped". The Head of the Russian Church confirmed the intention of the Patriarchate of Moscow to contribute to the humanitarian aid of Middle Eastern populations, and also to the reconstruction of "places of worship, monasteries, monuments, including Muslim monuments and historical monuments". I posted once on how Russia brought aid to a Catholic nursing home where Sisters took care of disabled and elderly. How both Catholics and Muslims ran to the Russian bases to escape the genocide in both Christian …Saleuwihna
In the historic centre of Turin, Italy, stands the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi. In the sixteenth century, the church temporarily safeguarded the Shroud of Turin, after its transfer from Chambéry. Is is an active church in the Archdiocese of Turin, with regular Masses and the Blessed Sacrament reserved. Since spring 2020, however, the church has also served as the regular place of worship for the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Turin. The Lutheran congregation is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Italy (CELI) and has administrative offices elsewhere in the city, but no church of its own. This arrangement is permanent. During the installation of Pastor Tobias Brendel in September 2022, which took place in the Catholic church, a Catholic deacon symbolically presented the new pastor with a set of keys. The Lutheran community said that this recognised the relationship of trust that had developed since the shared use of the church began in 2020. This appears to have been …Saleuwihna
Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry. In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one." That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers. #newsYvdpsotlwj

On July 9th 1572, nineteen Catholic priests were hanged in a peat shed in the Netherlands. They were offered their lives if they denied the Eucharist. All nineteen refused. The ropes were too long to break their necks. They strangled slowly. The men who killed them founded the Dutch Republic.
Bishop of Liège Wishes New FSSPX Priest Well: Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville of Liège, Belgium, wished Fr. Vincent Richter, ordained for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X at Écône on 29 June, well in his future mission in Brazil and urged him to serve Christ "as an authentic disciple of the Gospel." His tone was firmer after the FSSPX's four episcopal consecrations on 1 July without a papal mandate, describing them as deepening the Society's separation from Rome while still calling for continued dialogue.
I have an idea that may solve all our problems. Since this has become the equivalent of a WWF high profile wrestling match, let's play it out with a "Loser Leave Town" cage match where Cdls. Burke, Muller, Zuppi, Fernandez, Cupich, Tobin, McElroy fight it out. The losers must "leave town", resign their position and the winner is excommunicated! I'd buy tickets to that one
First Canadian Town Grants Trees a 'Right to Life': On 9 June, the town of Terrasse-Vaudreuil in Quebec, home to around 2,000 people, became the first place in Canada to adopt a resolution enshrining the 'rights' of trees. The resolution includes rights such as the right to life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration. Mayor Michel Bourdeau said the initiative was inspired by filmmaker André Desrochers and his film 'Des arbres et des arts'. Meanwhile, around 30,000 human beings are aborted in Quebec each year, and more than 100,000 in Canada as a whole. Since its legalisation in 2016, more than 100,000 Canadians have died through euthanasia (MAID).
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 …Saleuwihna

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) rejected a Doctrinal Declaration proposed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which would have been followed by the granting of a canonical status, Monsignor Guido Pozzo told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7. A meeting took place on 28 February 2018 at the Congregation between Cardinal Luis Ladaria, then Prefect, Monsignor Guido Pozzo, and Bishop Bernard Fellay. Bishop Fellay said he would submit the Declaration to the FSSPX General Chapter, scheduled for July 2018. At that Chapter, on 11 July 2018, Father Davide Pagliarani was elected Superior General. In the autumn of 2018, Cardinal Ladaria and Monsignor Pozzo met with Father Pagliarani. Monsignor Pozzo on Fr Pagliarani: "He informed us that he would not sign the Declaration, as he considered it insufficient and inadequate to address the difficulties and critical issues raised by the FSSPX, and that Rome would have to acknowledge its errors."

"There is no such thing as an 'emergency Church' that can withdraw from the visible unity of the Church in order to establish an ecclesial order not in full communion with the Successor of Peter."
On June 26, the Archdiocese of Chicago, ruined by Cardinal Blase Cupich, dedicated a memorial for suiciders. The memorial, titled "At Peace," is located at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. According to the Archdiocese, it is the first memorial established by a Catholic archdiocese in the United States specifically for suiciders. The Vicar General, auxiliary Bishop Lawrence Sullivan, said in a June 24 statement that the memorial was created to "honor the lives lost to suicide". And: "Historically, the Catholic Church denied Catholic funerals in churches and burials in consecrated ground for individuals who died by suicide. The Church has undergone a significant transformation in its understanding of suicide and mental illness and now recognizes that many who die by suicide suffer from mental illness and unbearable pain. The Church now embraces these individuals and affirms that they are with God, not condemned." #newsBdkpdqzsck
" The document of Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, does not create a new liturgical rite..." --- No, it was Montini with Bugnini who created it. Ratzinger just tried to save it by imposing a legal fiction of two forms of the same rite for ontologically and historically different rites.
