Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis wrote on July 2 about the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): "In the ten years that I have led this local Church, I have met many sincere people who worship regularly or occasionally at the chapels of the SSPX within the territory of our Archdiocese. I have been impressed by the strength of their families and their commitment to traditional Catholic values." He acknowledges that the FSSPX bishops’ excommunication will affect them in a particular way and hopes they will not follow them “in separating themselves from Pope Leo XIV.” Monsignor Hebda also noted that the Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated at six locations in the Archdiocese, adding: “I am confident that those who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass could find a home here.” #newsEtakruhtwp
Vatican Newspaper Denies Devil: Biblical scholar and feminist Marinella Perroni, 78, wrote for the July issue of L'Osservatore Romano's monthly supplement Donne Chiesa Mondo. She claims that "in the Genesis account there is no devil"; rather, "the serpent is simply the most cunning animal in the eyes of the desert nomads." She argues - that belief in evil spirits entered Jewish theology only at a relatively late stage through contact with other ancient religions, - that the devil as a distinct figure appears only in the late and strongly Hellenized Book of Wisdom, and - that St. Paul and the First Letter to Timothy linked "the serpent, the woman, and the fruit" to "the devil, women, and sin," thereby reinforcing a patriarchal understanding of sexual difference.
Rev. Gerald Murray, a New York canon lawyer, called the excommunication of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X "a canonical mess" in an interview with Raymond Arroyo (video below). Two Canonical Mechanisms Rev. Murray distinguishes automatic (latae sententiae) penalties from imposed (ferendae sententiae) penalties requiring a judicial or administrative process. Cardinal Victor "Tucho" Fernández did not impose excommunication but declared that an automatic penalty had already been incurred, since consecrating bishops without papal mandate triggers excommunication under canon law. Decree Excommunicates Only Six Bishops Rev. Murray's central criticism: the decree names only six bishops, while the explanatory note refers to priests and laity. But a note cannot legally expand a decree's scope. The note calls priests "schismatics," yet the decree itself never declares them excommunicated. Since a penal decree must specify who committed which offense and when, and this was omitted, Rev. …Ibindi
In other words, it's invalid. Church teaching says you can't be excommunicated by a heretic - LifeSite St. Thomas Aquinas: "The power of jurisdiction is not indelibly attached, nor is it connected with the power of orders. Consequently, it can be lost and suspended by heretical or schismatical persons, and therefore they neither absolve nor excommunicate, nor grant indulgences, nor do anything of the kind; and if they do, it is invalid."
essica Rojas @VoicesUnheard Old History Channel clip that still hits hard. 1983: Just 30 Watts of radio waves accurately mapped oil wells across 9 states by vibrating the Earth’s layers like piano strings. 1987: Researcher says turning on similar ELF tech near a fault line accidentally triggered a 4-4.5 quake. HAARP: Massive power beamed into the ionosphere, waves that reflect back through ground and ocean. “If you do this with a billion Watts, the vibrations could be so severe underground that could even cause an earthquake.” If this was possible in the 80s... What are they capable of in 2026? I’m just asking questions. Resonance physics is real. The tech has advanced dramatically. What do you think
Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302 We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Therefore, both are in the power of the Church, namely, the spiritual sword and the material. But indeed, the latter is to be exercised on behalf of the Church; and truly, the former is to be exercised by the Church. The former is of the priest; the latter is by the hand of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest. However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority,…Ibindi

Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo, Norway, issued a July 3 statement following the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly consecrated bishops had removed themselves from ecclesial communion and unity with the Pope: “This is sad, painful, and calls us to prayer and penance.” He urged Catholics to pray the Rosary for the unity of the Church on the Feast of Saint Sunniva, July 8. Monsignor Hansen repeated Cardinal Tucho Fernández’s explanation that the consecrations were a schismatic act and that the priests “can no longer validly grant absolution in the sacrament of confession.” He also urged Catholics to refrain from attending FSSPX Masses and other activities. Addressing FSSPX faithful directly, he wrote: “I understand that these are difficult and distressing days for you. You may find yourselves pulled in different directions, and perhaps stand bewildered before all that has now come to pass.” He …Ibindi
Priest from excommunicated sect says future pope will reverse Vatican move This whole excommunication things is appearing more and more to be one huge joke, I know no one taking this matter seriously. Where is Pope St Pius X when you need him?
Did the 12 Apostles have to put up with this Vatican bureaucracy tit a tat? No. Why? Because Christ our Savior was their be all and end all. I doubt there are 4 priests today who could believe and declare Jesus Christ as their be all and end. They are too fretted with their standing and how they appear to others instead of Christ. It is sickening.
Austrian Diocese Sponsors Homosexual March: On July 4, the first "Pride" demonstration took place in Villach (population: about 66,000), Austria.

Unlocking Catholic Social Teaching: Dr. Martinez Introduces the Ave Maria Economics Course "God did not call us from the eyebrows down—He wants us to use our brains." Dr. Gabriel Martinez joins us to shatter the myth of the 'divided life' in business and economics. Every financial, corporate, or political decision we make isn't just a technical choice—it's a deeply human, moral decision. Dr. Gabriel Martinez, economics professor at Ave Maria University, steps into the living room to introduce a groundbreaking, completely free online resource: the Ave Maria Economics Course, hosted by The Pursuit of Wisdom. Condensing three full semesters of dense academic material into seven clear, highly accessible lectures, Dr. Martinez bridges the gap between modern market principles and the foundational pillars of Catholic Social Teaching. He unpacks why popular political ideologies often distort Church teaching by overemphasizing one truth (like human dignity or solidarity) while completely abandoning …Ibindi

Thursday, 10th July 1913 Beavers in Speech Warns Policemen to Keep Out of Dives Thursday, July 10, 1913 Chief of Police Beavers caused a stir Thursday morning when he went before the day watch and addressed the men on their conduct. His talk resulted from the recent scandal in which several policemen were found guilty of visiting a resort in the rear of 127 Auburn Avenue. "Any man who hangs around a negro dive has no place on the police force of Atlanta," the Chief said, addressing the men. "If you get positive evidence that any of your brother officers are engaged in discreditable practices and frequenting disreputable places, it is your duty to report it." The Chief will make a similar speech to the night and morning watches.

Jul 04, 2026 Just before the 1988 episcopal consecrations, Archbishop Lefebvre himself presented the argument which we have been proposing this week. Editors’ Notes Yesterday, we shared the letter from SSPX Superior General Fr Davide Pagliarani, responding to the Vatican decree declaring excommunications and schism against the Society. That article also included a republication of the Open Letter of the SSPX District Superiors, dated 6 July 1988. This present article is a new translation of a press conference given by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, on 15 June 1988 – two weeks before the famous episcopal consecrations. In the conference, he discusses the imminent prospect of excommunications and declarations of schism – and why he is unafraid of such measures: The Osservatore Romano will probably publish the excommunication, a declaration of schism, naturally. What does all that mean? Bon. Excommunication by whom? By a modernist Rome. By a Rome which no longer fully holds the Catholic …Ibindi
Protocol numbers are how Vatican departments organize their filing; a letter or submission is assigned a protocol number so that all the relevant documents are kept together in the right file. “Prot. No. 99/2009” is not a new file from 2026, but a file from 2009, specifically from Pope Benedict XVI’s lifting of the excommunications incurred in 1988.
An act of disobedience (not schism) compelled by priestly and episcopal moral conscience and duty, and the spiritual needs of 700,000 faithful Catholics in their care, while begging for the assistance and collaboration of the Holy See -- which was refused to their sincere pleas -- does not constitute a failure to be subject to the Roman Pontiff, nor of schism. Even Father Gerald Murray, a well-known Canon Lawyer who opposed the Consecrations says as much. You will find his commentary elsewhere on Gloria.TV
