Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando. LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters. The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight. Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality” Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.” Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in as president of Colombia on August 7 in a ceremony reflecting his Catholic faith. Succeeding left-wing President Gustavo Petro, he took the oath at Santiago de Cali University, accompanied by his wife, their four children, and members of his government team. An image of Our Lady of Fatima stood prominently on the stage. De la Espriella concluded by asking God to bless his children and declaring: “Everything for the homeland… Stand firm for the homeland! Long live Christ the King!”

The Vatican's reasoning for the ban on lay preaching is "not entirely consistent," Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz told Katholisch.de on August 11. "The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Lay Preaching Is No Problem In the Diocese of Mainz, occasional lay preaching has become an established practice and Bishop Kohlgraf has no intention of changing that. In some parishes, "it is customary for laypeople to preach," he said. "If I hear about it, I won't take disciplinary action or impose canonical sanctions." "Denunciations" Are a Problem Bishop Kohlgraf is concerned that the directive from Rome could encourage "denunciations": "There are people who report liturgical violations straight to the bishop and write directly to me. That happened before too - individual people would complain to me - but …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
"The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. So the Prefect for Liturgy is careless to the point of being goofy. But what self-respecting Catholic, much less a bishop, can use this for an excuse?
Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz criticised the Vatican’s June 17 ruling upholding the ban on lay preaching at Mass as “not entirely coherent”. He noted that lay preaching has become common practice and said he would neither intervene nor impose canonical sanctions.

Mónica Astorga spent almost 40 years as a Discalced Carmelite nun in Argentina and became prioress of her convent in Neuquén. She became internationally known for her work with transvestites because of Pope Francis' encouragement. Astorga meanwhile left the convent and trained in hairdressing. The Vatican formally accepted her departure from the Discalced Carmelites in 2024. She “still” considers herself a believer – yet without attending a Eucharist regularly. Long Connection with Bergoglio Her connection with Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the future Pope Francis, began much earlier. Astorga says she met him when he was a Jesuit in Buenos Aires in 1987, nearly two decades before she began working with transvestites. She later described Bergoglio's support for her as “unconditional.” Beginning Her Work with Transvestites Astorga began assisting transvestites in 2006, after one such guy sought help in a parish. Her clientele included prostitutes, people living with HIV, and impoverished or …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Marian Eleganti criticizes on his blog Leo XIV’s July 31 audience with Patti Smith, 80 - a pro-abortion and pro-homosexual singer from Chicago: “The harmless encounter - which I imagine consisted mainly of an exchange of pleasantries, with hardly anything of great importance to the Church being discussed - raises questions for me.” His main argument concerning the 'decline of the Petrine office' is that the papal office has been overshadowed by the personalities of individual popes: Too much informality and media exposure. Bishop Eleganti criticizes spontaneous interviews, informal remarks, celebrity meetings, photo opportunities, travel, and highly publicized personal gestures. These can make the pope appear to be an international celebrity or a member of the establishment rather than a teacher of the faith. Private audiences send messages. Meetings and photo opportunities with people who publicly oppose Catholic teaching may be interpreted as approval or …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

“Piracy and robbery” against Russian maritime trade will not go unanswered, the president has said They left out the two trump stole. Russia could seize ships carrying Western cargo in retaliation for similar actions against Russian maritime trade, President Vladimir Putin has warned. There have been several incidents in recent months in which Western militaries have seized vessels that their governments accused of being part of a so-called Russian ‘shadow fleet’. Putin warned on Wednesday during a meeting with Pacific Fleet commanders that Moscow could take retaliatory measures wherever it deemed necessary. “Some nations are violating the Law of the Sea by trying to restrict the movement of our civilian traders. They recently came up with the idea of seizing our ships and selling off our plundered property. This is certainly nothing short of piracy and robbery,” Putin said. “If such a policy is implemented in practice, we will be forced to take mirror responses. And not necessarily in …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
New Apostolate for the Roman rite in Canada: The Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP) has established a new apostolate for the traditional Roman Rite in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, with the permission of Archbishop Guy Desrochers.

Ukrainian soldiers report critical conditions on the front lines. A brigade commander claims his troops have gone months without rotation or regular supplies of water, food, and medicine. A group of Ukrainian soldiers took to social media to say they were forced to drink their own urine due to Kiev’s failure to rotate or provide them with supplies. The soldiers urged Ukraine’s recently appointed top general, Mikhail Drapaty, to intervene, claiming their immediate command ignored their pleas. The scandal erupted on Tuesday when the soldiers, claiming to be a fire support platoon with the 121st Territorial Defense Brigade, published their address on social media. The video features several men sitting inside a dark room, likely a basement, with the platoon commander, who identified himself as Anatoly Sischuk, reading out the address. Sischuk claimed that his platoon was in one position in Zaporozhye Region, Russia for nearly four months, despite their command initially promising the unit …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
A group of Ukrainian soldiers took to social media to say they were forced to drink their own urine due to Kiev’s failure to rotate or provide them with supplies. This is not the first time the Ukrainian soldiers had to drink their urine. But this time, they took to social media to complain. Letting the world know how they are treated. Some can "try" to suppress this sort of thing to prevent us from knowing. But sooner or later it's revealed for most to know.
War was a project to kill Catholics. Ukrainian Bolsheviks goading Russia endlessly since the fall of communism. Without the Fatima request heeded. Coming to western Europe too I guess soon too. Maybe via from the south also by goading Muslims by the Bolshevik satellite phony israel.

“Masonic strategies with Catholic funerals. While the Bishop of Sanremo is criticised by the media and by Freemasonry, silence falls over the Rome case, that of Bishop Staglianò, who, without verification or explanation, authorised the funeral in Rome, forcing the Secretariat of State and the papal vicar to correct his omission. Even the news has disappeared from the Freemasonry website. It seems there is great interest in keeping quiet about the matter of a funeral cancelled at the last minute and in covering up the unforgivable chain of errors that led to the decision—the only one in recent times and probably the first taken in Rome since the funeral of Piergiorgio Welby. Preference is given to blaming Msgr Antonio Suetta, Bishop of Sanremo and Ventimiglia, who, at the same time and after the Roman decision, had taken the same step of preventing the already scheduled funeral of a local Freemason. The two related stories, Rome and Sanremo, were treated completely differently by the …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference attended the private funeral of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini in Pavana on Saturday. He delivered an address, published on Avvenire.it (August 8), in which he practically canonized the self-described agnostic. Guccini, 86, had described himself as an “agnostic possibilist.” Zuppi, who was his friend, recalled that the singer had once told him he wanted the cardinal present at his funeral. Addressing Guccini directly, Cardinal Zuppi imagined what the deceased might now be seeing: “We do not know precisely … what you see: the fullness of that light which, in reality, you had already sensed from here and which you were able to glimpse in the poignant and infinite beauty of life.” Cardinal Zuppi portrayed Guccini’s agnostic doubt positively, as an honest search for truth. “Doubt was your way of standing before things without cheating, with integrity,” he said. “You never stopped asking and listening.” …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
