– Folha de S. Paulo, September 13, 1983 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira FRANCE, first-born daughter of the Church, was brilliant down through the centuries in the acts of its illustrious children in favor of the preservation and expansion of the Mystical Body of Christ. It is precisely in France that the “New Sunday Missal — 1983” is circulating widely and with impunity. The work, carrying the Imprimatur (6/26/82) of Msgr. R. Boudon, Bishop of Mende and President of the French Language Liturgical Commission, has not been condemned so far. Its pages thus continue to intoxicate countless French-speaking faithful seeking there the invaluable inspiration of liturgical texts that conform to the perennial teaching of the Church, but also finding texts profoundly discrepant from the Catholic spirit. Here I will limit myself to comment on three characteristic topics of the Nouveau Missel. At the end of the Mass for Sunday, March 13, page 139, the “New Missal” says this of… Marx! Yes, you are …More

a) Ecclesiasticcus 47:4-5; Did not the sun stand still at his command, and was not one day made to seem like two? He called upon the Most High Sovereign when enemies were closing in on him from all sides, and the Great Lord answered him by sending down hailstones of terrible force. b) 1 Kings 18:36-8; At the time the offering was presented, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and said, “Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your command. Answer me, Yahweh, answer me, so that all this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God who turns their hearts.” Then the fire of Yahweh fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and licked up the water from the trenches. 1) The Prayer that God wants: a) John 4:23-24; But the hour is coming (it is already here) when the True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: that is the kind of worshiper the Father wants …More

'I always liked that Pope Francis would just throw these bombs out there in the media because it would force a conversation. Sometimes, he would say things that I would say, ‘Wait a second, is that actually consistent or is that correct?’ because it would force a conversation' JD Vance speaking to Bishop Robert Barron
U.S. Vice President JD Vance praised Pope Francis in a recent interview with Bishop Robert Barron for being a “kind of genius” at forcing conversation with rhetorical “bombs.”
A large part of the church nave has collapsed. ... The high altar collapsed into the rubble. The statue of the Virgin remains intact,’ Father Henry Díaz explained.
A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck Peru's Junín region on July 18, killing at least five people, injuring more than 20, and causing widespread damage. The historic Santiago Apóstol Parish in Chongos Bajo was among the hardest hit, with its roof, façade, and centuries-old altars collapsing. Father Henry Díaz said much of the church nave gave way, deep cracks spread through the walls, and the bell tower is now dangerously unstable. Amid the destruction, however, a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary remained standing untouched, which Father Díaz described as a powerful sign of hope. Peru's Catholic bishops have offered prayers and are appealing for support to restore the historic parish.

The monk who disappeared during the night of June 23–24 from Notre-Dame de Bellaigue Abbey in central France was Dom Placide Dumas, prior of the monastery. His absence was discovered at Matins the following morning. More than two days later, he was found injured in the neighboring department of Haute-Vienne. French prosecutors opened an investigation for kidnapping and unlawful confinement. French media report that he was found bearing injuries consistent with an assault, although authorities have not disclosed the nature of his injuries or explained how he came to be in Haute-Vienne. Eleven monks allegedly attempted to take control of the monastery on the same night that Dom Placide disappeared. An email sent from Dom Placide's account announced his resignation as prior. Investigators are trying to determine whether he wrote it voluntarily, under duress, or whether someone else sent it. They also reportedly found his room completely emptied and carefully cleaned, suggesting his departure …More
source: Grand Inquisitor — Inquisition; Substack “Who is Edgar Rimaycuna, the personal secretary and right-hand man of Leo XIV? (Excerpt from the article "Sodom in the Vatican" by Rodrigo Simón Rey, Cope, May 14, 2025) Edgar Rimaycuna is just 36 years old and is already the Pope’s Personal Secretary. He is a Peruvian priest, born in Chiclayo — the diocese where Robert Prevost served as bishop for a decade. It was in Chiclayo that he met Prevost in 2016. Edgar, who at the time was a 16 or 17 year-old seminarian, never left the side of “Father Roberto,” whom he regarded as a spiritual father and, over the years, a friend. The Pope began working with Edgar when he was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo. The Peruvian priest became his trusted right-hand man until 2023, when Prevost was made a cardinal and Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. The words Edgar addressed to him upon his departure say a great deal about their bond: “Thank you very much, …More
