Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters with Excommunication: On August 14, Bishop Michael F. Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, issued a “pastoral” letter concerning the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — using sharp and decidedly unsynodal language. He warns that knowingly providing public, organizational, material, or financial support to FSSPX communities is "objectively sinful" and "can result in excommunication." Bishop Olson even described the FSSPX as a “self-formed and schismatic sect.” He specifically mentioned two FSSPX churches within his diocese — Our Lady of Mount Carmel in North Richland Hills and Our Lady of Fatima in Sanger — as well as the former Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, whose nuns have been in open conflict with Bishop Olson for years.

Leo XIV’s Appointee Honored as “Masonic Brother” in 2022: On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Rome Professor Umberto Longo to the Vatican’s Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. In December 2022, Longo gave a lecture in Venice on the Italian Freemason and comic artist Hugo Pratt (1927–1995). At the end, Gian-Paolo Barbi, Sovereign Grand Commander of the masonic lodge 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite', took the floor. He tapped Longo on the shoulder and addressed him as 'il fratello professor Longo' - 'Brother Professor Longo'. The phrase is noteworthy because older Masonic publications from 2013 and 2014 also identify an “Umberto Longo” as a Masonic “Brother” and Scottish Rite officer.
«il fratello professor Longo»: Questa settimana Leone XIV ha nominato il professor Umberto Longo membro del Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche. Nel dicembre 2022, Longo tenne a Venezia una conferenza su Hugo Pratt. Al termine della relazione, Gian-Paolo Barbi, presentatosi come Sovrano Gran Commendatore del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato, ringraziò il relatore con queste parole: «questa intensa emozione che il fratello professor Longo ci ha voluto donare con questa bellissima disquisizione». L’espressione «il fratello professor Longo», pronunciata dal vertice del Rito Scozzese, è significativa.
One more mason for the large number of masons in the Vatican. Prevost gives them high positions, to them and to the sodomites. It's more than obvious who Prevost serves.
Poland Unveils Europe’s Tallest Statue of Our Lady: On today’s feast of the Assumption, Bishop Krzysztof Wętkowski of Włocławek consecrated Europe’s tallest statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the small Polish village of Konotopie. Standing 55.6 metres high, the monument was blessed during a solemn Mass attended by hundreds, with former Polish president Lech Wałęsa among the guests. Bishop Emeritus Wiesław Mering, who attended the ceremony, told AP: “The history of Christianity has ups and downs but this place is a reminder that Mary won’t give up on Poland.”
Original Sin, Man’s Greatest Vulnerability, and Divine Order The Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden reveals enduring truths about human nature, divine order, and spiritual vulnerability. Man’s greatest moral weakness is the voice of women, a vulnerability Satan immediately recognized and exploited. Scripture and the Church Fathers also teach that God established a natural order: men are to lead, and women are to submit and follow. When this order is inverted, sin, disorder, and suffering follow—a principle visible from Eden to biblical history and the New Testament. --- I. Adam and Eve: The Archetype of Male Leadership and Female Submission Genesis 2:18–24 establishes the relational and moral order of creation: > “The Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him… Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Adam was created first, entrusted with stewardship over …Bivule

Israel Evicted Settlers Besieging Palestinian Homes. Hours Later, They Were Back. The military’s failure to keep extremists away from two Palestinian families trapped in their West Bank homes made clear the chaos gripping the Israeli-occupied territory. nytimes.com/…d/middleeast/west-bank-siege-israeli… By Natan Odenheimer and Fatima AbdulKarim Natan Odenheimer reported from Jerusalem and Fatima AbdulKarim from Bir Zeit, in the West Bank. Aug. 13, 2026 The Israeli military evicted on Thursday about a dozen settlers who had besieged two Palestinian families in their West Bank homes, but several hours later settlers returned. The Palestinian families had been trapped in their homes since Sunday by Israeli settlers, who had erected a tent nearby and, residents said, attacked them, including with rocks. On Thursday morning, Israeli soldiers dismantled structures set up in the area by the settlers, confiscated some equipment, detained one settler and dispersed the rest, according to a military …Bivule
US Bishops are discussing the Mass in the Roman Rite among themselves and internally and [allegedly] want to be solicitous for the pastoral needs of those Catholics, Archbishop Paul Coakley, 71, of Oklahoma City told Raymond Arroyo. Archbishop Coakley is the president of the US bishops. He noticed "one of the dioceses in Texas has just this week relaxed some restrictions in order to make the Traditional Latin Mass more available, at least in that one diocese.” Arroyo asked what Catholics should do when diocesan Masses are increasingly restricted. “Well, it's a dilemma that many people who are attached to the Traditional Latin Mass are facing,” Coakley replied. He has encouraged Catholics to go to the local parish of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). Just outside Oklahoma City is the well-attended St. Michael’s Chapel in Bethany, served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The archbishop pretended to know little about it: “We still do have a chapel here that …Bivule
The last word, Archbishop? Paul VI all but eliminated the Old Mass, JP II opens it up a crack, Benedict says it was never really done away with and gives it broad circulation, Francis jumps on it, and now we are supposed to be waiting for Leo? Zigzag, zigzag. We have friends in the Detroit area who now attend at sede-vacantist church -- that's what the popes have wrought. And I know, our friends are outside the Church...well, maybe not.

Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of 's-Hertogenbosch wrote on August 13 an open letter to Leo XIV. Main phrases. - Does the synodal process actually help bring souls closer to Christ and to eternal salvation? […] What has all this actually yielded? Not: how many meetings were organized? Not: how many reports were written? Not: how many people participated? But: has faith become stronger? Has Christ been proclaimed more clearly? - When one asks such questions, it is impossible to consider the Synod a success. - What once began as a 2021–2024 synod threatens to become a permanent form of governance. - The classical synod was a means. In contemporary synodal discourse, synodality threatens to become an end in itself. - The Church is not a conversation but a received reality. For the Church does not begin with our dialogue. It begins with Christ. - Christ did not set up a discussion group. He called apostles. He gave them authority. He sent them out to proclaim, baptize, and teach. - Truth is …Bivule
On November 1st 1950, Pope Pius XII declared ex-cathedra the Dogma of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, in the presence of over 600 Bishops and 700,000 faithful.
Cardinal Raymond Burke delivered a short video message to “those who are "discouraged by the persecution of the traditional Latin mass that is presently going on" (Wdtprs.com, August 13). The cardinal described the Mass in the Roman rite as "a tremendous good in the Church" that will "never be lost". "It is for us now even at the cost of suffering to fight for it that it be as available as possible to all the faithful who desire it." #newsItmmgdutxf
Bishop Gerard de Korte of’s-Hertogenbosch has responded critically to the open letter against the failed synodal project by his auxiliary bishop Rob Mutsaerts. Monsignor Mutsaerts did not consult him about this lengthy open letter, Bishop De Korte told Nd.nl on August 14. For him “a personal letter to the pope would have been the proper course of action, if Mutsaerts truly does not wish to sow division, as he writes”. Bishop de Korte added: “After all, a bishop or auxiliary bishop has his own means of communicating with the Bishop of Rome”. And: “In any case, at the request of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV, the Dutch bishops will continue building a synodal Church. On Friday, October 16, the bishops and Dutch religious orders will organize a national day of inspiration on synodality, at the St. John’s Centre in ’s-Hertogenbosch.” In 2020, because of differences with the liberal Bishop de Korte, Monsignor Mutsaerts stepped down from virtually all of his administrative duties in the …Bivule
Bishop De Korte allowed a homo-prayer service in his cathedral at pink saturday (june 2017). That's all you need to know. He finally gave up his plan, as too much resistance raised from within his diocese. The bishop of Roermond (Van den Hout) allowed the same scandalous service in one of his churches last year, offering a platform to the Dutch building-a-bridge movement. No worries, they've nothing to fear from Rome as both bishops are VERY synodal.
Dominican Sister Throws First Pitch at White Sox Pope Night | Shalom World News Dominican Sister Mary Jo Sobieck threw the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday at the Chicago White Sox’s “Pope Hat” night honoring Pope Leo. Sister Mary Jo became a viral sensation in 2018 when she bounced the ball off her arm before throwing a strike at a White Sox game. She returned to the mound seven years later as the team celebrated its Chicago-born fan who became pope. The pregame ceremony also included a $14,000 donation from White Sox Charities to the Midwest Province of the Order of St. Augustine, the religious order Pope Leo once led.
@Jeffrey Ade Why is Russia our enemy? They are on the other side of the planet, they have never attacked the United States, they were our ally during WWII. Have they done anything that we have not done in the past? It is true that Russia has spread its errors throughout the world but so have we. We have exported abortion and contraception throughout the world, we have exported our "woke" ideology around the world, we pushed our COVID vaccine on the rest of the world ect. I have never understood why we have been told they are our enemy other then we were competing with them during the cold war to be the worlds superpower.
Sorry we are not fellow travelers. You and I are on different paths. I am on the path hopefully threw the narrow gates. You are skipping and singing and dancing on the road to ..... And why do you pick up stupid name calling you don't understand? Like calling me a slipper in another comment.
lawenforcement_today PARENTS ARE FINALLY FIGHTING BACK: Public-school mosque trips are now heading to FEDERAL COURT. The controversy erupted in Texas after public-school students were bussed to an Islamic center, where they observed prayer and heard presentations about Islam. Now a group of parents, students and community members has filed a federal lawsuit against California’s Palo Alto Unified School District over a separate mosque trip. The lawsuit alleges students were encouraged to wear Islamic religious attire, given Qurans to take home, photographed without parental permission and exposed to a CAIR official without a balancing perspective. They took God out of schools but THIS is OK? Make it make sense. instagram.com/p/DcERIjnDFTJ/
We all know young people who are very mature and old people who are immature hippies. True maturity comes from the contemplation of God, sin and its effects, the passion of Our Lord and the three last things.
