“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction" James 1:27
the visiting of the widows and the fatherless in their affliction is a manifestation of compassionate love; yet it is to be observed that elsewhere in the Holy Scriptures compassion is adduced as the …More
I do more than say in passing that ‘visiting’ means more than calling on - namely, looking after and caring for.
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40).
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. Psalm 68:5
“Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless. Exodus 22:22-24

Fiducia Supplicans: A Spanish Diocese Concludes that One Violation Has Violated the Other Violation
The Diocese of Plasencia, Spain, issued an unsigned statement on 13 May regarding the recent homosexual [pseudo] blessing in the parish church of Miajadas. The diocese is presently being ruined by …More
The diocese is presently being ruined by Bishop Ernesto Brotóns, who is fully responsible for the statement. His text promises that "the appropriate canonical measures have been taken", which means nothing.
In obvious contradiction to reality, Brotóns' statement denies that there was "any intention" to simulate a sacrament. The whole show was modelled on a wedding, including two disguised homosexuals and a priest. Everyone could see that it was the simulation of a sacrament.
The statement criticises only that "the forms clearly violated the provisions" of the Vatican's homosexual propaganda text 'Fiducia supplicans'. The bishop insists that he "believes" in the "value" of the blasphemous blessing of sin.
Mgr Brotóns ends with crocodile tears: "We deeply regret the scandal and confusion that the misapplication of the Declaration has …More

The Liturgical Changes of Pope Pius XII - May a Catholic Reject Laws Promulgated by a Legitimate Pope?
« Modernists, in their attempt to destroy the Catholic liturgy, gradually and cunningly introduced the New “Mass” or Novus Ordo, the new sacraments and the liturgical changes resulting from Vatican II …More
They erroneously claim that some of these changes, including the new Holy Week Missal, were the first steps toward the Novus Ordo, due to the involvement of Monsignor Annibale Bugnini and the tinkering of Modernists. These strongly opinionated souls do not reject the changes entirely ; they pick and choose what to accept and what to reject. For example, they observe the Pope’s revision of the Communion fast and permission for evening Masses. Who gives them the authority to determine which liturgical rites, decrees and rubrics to follow?
Pope Pius XII enacted several liturgical …More

--
It is an opinion of a theologian. There are also other opinions i.e. that they were not lawful as they went too far and materially interferred into the immemorial, ancient liturgical usage of the holy Roman Church.
Moreover, the argumentation of Fr. Radecki is rather weak e.g.:
"The changes were authorized by an infallible Vicar of Christ"
whereas such changes do not engage papal infallibility (cf. definition of papal infallibility by the Vatican Council)
"We must accept these changes as lawful and binding unless we can prove that Pope Pius XII was not a true Pope."
--- That is not true. The question of legitimate Pope is irrelevant here - the Pope is not a "tsar" / omnipotent tyrant and is not entitled to do whatever he fancies, in particular in the field of the Divine worship. Cf. for comparision Quo primum tempore of Pope Pius V showing reverence for old liturgical …More

Falsely Accused: US Bishop Cleared Of Absurd Charges
Retired Auxiliary Bishop Raymond Chappetto, 78, of Brooklyn, has been cleared of charges that he "mishandled" an abuse case. He was vicar general of the Brooklyn diocese from 2013 to 2022. In 2021, he …More
He was vicar general of the Brooklyn diocese from 2013 to 2022. In 2021, he was accused of failing to adequately disclose to a parish that the Rev. Uririoghene Okrokoto was prohibited from contact with minors. As a result, Chappetto was accused of potentially endangering minors.
Reverend Okrokoto had a history of "boundary violations" with teenage girls. After treatment at a mental health facility, he was assigned to a Brooklyn parish in June 2021. Within weeks, Okrokoto was seen at the parish in the company of a teenage girl. He was removed from ministry again in October 2021 and remains suspended.
The Diocese of Brooklyn told PillarCatholic.com (13 May) that the Vatican's Dicastery for Bishops had concluded after an investigation that the allegations against Chappetto were "manifestly unfounded and the case has been closed".
The investigation was conducted by …More
