Mirare Joannem, quantum potes: Christo proficit quod miraris Admire John as much as you can: your admiration glorifies Christ Saint Augustine, Sermon 391, In Natali Joannis Baptistae – On the Birth of John the Baptist V, Paragraph 1 Latin and English In June 1929, this article written by Dom Emmanuel Flicoteaux OSB appeared in La Vie Spirituelle I The Christmas of Winter and the Christmas of Summer During the first three centuries of its existence, the Church concentrated her attention on the very person of the Word made Flesh as it needed, above all else, to become gently and slowly aware of the infinite riches of light and grace contained in the holy humanity of Christ Jesus, in whom resides that fullness of Divine life whose superabundance flows into all the members of his Mystical Body. To adore Christ as the only Son of God, to recognise and invoke him as the source of all holiness, to follow and imitate him as the model of perfect life—this, one might say, was the sole concern …

The Vatican has rejected – on paper only – a request from the German Bishops' Conference to permit lay people to preach during the Eucharist by means of an "indult." A June 17 letter, written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, was published on Dbk.de. The German bishops' proposal sought permission to allow lay employees, in the usual exceptional circumstances, to deliver a "homiletic reflection" following the Gospel during the Eucharist. In his reply, Cardinal Roche claims with canon law that the homily is an integral part of the liturgy [only since Pius X] and is reserved to a priest or deacon. He stresses that the reservation of the homily to clergy is not merely a disciplinary norm and does not depend on theological competence or communication skills. Cardinal Roche disputes the claim that current pastoral circumstances require an exception. Where a priest is present to celebrate the Eucharist, he is also present to preach. Where no priest is …Ավելին
[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; born: Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/died: Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] 3 .The tabernacle And I came to a tabernacle, the inside of which was made of the hardest steel. And entering in, I performed works of light where before I had done deeds of darkness. In this tabernacle, therefore, towards the north, I set up a pillar of unpolished iron on which I hung small fans of various feathers moving back and forth. I found manna, and I ate it. Towards the east I built a fortification of square stones, kindling a fire within. Here I drank myrrh-flavoured wine with grape-must. Towards the south I made a tower of square stones on which I hung red shields; in the windows I placed trumpets of ivory. And in the middle of the tower I poured out honey and prepared a …Ավելին
‘I have fought many wars against you in great hardship and pain. You tried to bring me to my death but were unable, for I was armed with the most powerful of weapons; I brandished sharp swords against you and defended myself vigorously. Depart, therefore, and leave me, for you can do nothing more against me!’
Italian historian Roberto de Mattei reflected on the announced episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) in an article published on CorrispondenzaRomana.it on June 24. "State of Necessity" Cannot Be Self-Judged For De Mattei, the state of necessity argument is simultaneously "the weakest and the strongest argument". His question is: "Who has the authority to verify the existence of such a state and determine its beginning and end?" He argues that if the FSSPX can independently determine when a state of necessity exists, then it also implicitly claims the authority to determine when that state ends. That would place the FSSPX in a position of judging the Holy See rather than being judged by it. De Mattei acknowledges that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was not a speculative theologian or canonist, but a pastor of souls: "The decisive criterion for him was not the assertion of a right proper to the FSSPX, but the spiritual need of the faithful." Can Any Bishop …Ավելին
Do not lose sight of the fact that Roberto de Matteo is an historian, not a theologian. He actually has no training in theology. He is a skillful writer, and often writes about the Catholic Church. But to give even a moment of thought to his representations about his opinion on the actions of the FSSPX would be very foolish.

In his 1995 article on Romans 9–11, the future Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Tucho Fernández, wrote that "all will be saved." His goal is to “relativize the very basis from which questionable doctrines were elaborated,” wherein the "questionable doctrines" is Catholicism as developed from Scripture by St. Augustine, the Fathers, and the Scholastics, notes ElWanderer.com on June 23. Fernández believes that Augustine's teaching "requires a revision" and later claims that Augustine's doctrine "did not offer a complete and harmonious vision of God, man and Christian experience." "I know God's concrete plans" Tucho's most extraordinary claim is: "I firmly trust that all will be saved; a trust based not on a desire, nor on my compassion for men, but on what I know of God and of His concrete plans thanks to His Revelation." ElWanderer notes that the Church has never received a revelation that all men will be saved. On the contrary. The Council of Trent teaches that …Ավելին
The superiors of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X published today another Open Letter to Leo XIV and to the Cardinals. The letter is no call to action nor a negotiating proposal but rather another public reaffirmation of the Fraternity's long-standing position. Attached is a 28-page document (English below) with the Catholic faith. This document repeatedly affirms strong papal authority adding that the pope possesses "supreme, full, immediate, and universal jurisdiction". The letter. Most Holy Father, Most Reverend Eminences, On the eve of the Consistory at the end of this month, and just days before the episcopal consecrations scheduled for 1 July in Écône, it seems to us that the time has come for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X to make a full profession of Catholic Faith, which we wish to place in the hands of Your Holiness and each one of the Cardinals.

Profession of Faith #50 upholds Mary as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix: 50. "I profess that, thus united to her Divine Son, she merited by congruity in her Compassion what Christ merited by strict justice in His Passion; not as the principal cause of the Redemption, but as a subordinate associate, dependent upon and wholly relative to her Son, in one and the same act of the Redemption of our souls. It is in this sense that Catholic piety, supported by the traditional teaching of Popes and theologians, rightly calls her, by reason of this Compassion, ‘Co-redemptrix’, and consequently ‘Universal Mediatrix’"
On March 14, a Saturday, for the first time, a woman led a liturgical celebration in place of the “Sunday” Eucharist in the Cathedral of Bozen/Bolzano, Italy. Italian media spoke of "la celebrante" ("the celebrant"). Maja Clara and has been leading such liturgies for about ten years. She works as a journalist at the state press agency. “As a child, I wanted to be a pastor,” she says. The Diocese of Bolzano-Bressanone, which covers the German speaking South Tyrol, is run by Bishop Ivo Muser. In the diocese, about 500 (!) laypeople are entrusted with this ministry, nearly two-thirds are women. The Diocese has 500k Catholics and about 350 priests in 280 parishes. This makes less than 1,5k nominal Catholics per priest. Picture: Maja Clara, AI piture, #newsTaahryrpwd
This has been going on here in the United States for over 30 years. Deacons were never asked to have these services, only women were permitted to do so.
The issue of fulfilling the "Sunday Obligation" was not addressed in this article. Was it reported elsewhere that this liturgy fulfilled that requirement?
People want proof all the time about Putin. I and others have left plenty of it. But it seems some still don't get it.

Putin loses again. Always the gentleman trying to allow Pope Francis through the doors first. But as usual he loses. But watch how he waits for the Pope to sit down before he does. Ever the great gentleman that he is. Always showing great respect to others. And such humility is seen with his actions. This you will see in the second video.
" Former Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl confirm what I say is true... She moved to Russia to Saint Petersburg and attends important speeches and dinners and celebrations with President Putin" --- Yep. Paputchiks, next to matryoshkas, are probably most famous and most worldwide Russian products. "So much propaganda destroys the brain." --- True indeed.

Today, Leo XIV appointed the rector of the seminary, Rev. Johannes Zehe, 62, as the new auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Hamburg, Germany. Monsignor Zehe initially studied music in Berlin and worked as a violin teacher and orchestral musician before being ordained a priest in Hamburg in 1999. Career Within Hamburg’s Establishment He owes his career to Hamburg’s Archbishop Stefan Heße who appointed him rector of the seminary in 2023 and has now evidently put him forward for appointment as auxiliary bishop. However, Archbishop Heße of Hamburg is strongly pro-homosexual. Since June 2025, the archdiocese has been embroiled in a major controversy. Under the title “Male, Female, Diverse: Framework Concept for Sexual Education in the Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Hamburg,” a 33-page document breaks with core Catholic teachings on sexuality and relationships. Monsignor Zehe himself is not regarded as an internal opponent of the current direction. However, his own online …Ավելին

The president of the German lay organization ZdK, Irme Stetter-Karp, 69, commented on the paper tiger from Rome claiming that laypeople supposedly may not preach during Eucharists. The German Synodal Way had already voted in favor of the proposal in March 2023, with strong support from the bishops. “We therefore expect the German bishops to reaffirm their substantive position to Rome, strengthen their arguments, and under no circumstances read Cardinal Roche’s letter as a cause for discouragement,” she said. For Ruth Fehlker of the Catholic Women’s Association of Germany (kfd) - that only a few days ago called for abortions in Catholic hospitals - the letter demonstrates “how great the gap is between the pastoral realities of many local churches and the directives coming from Rome.” #newsNtnvgtepdv

Damián Montes Nieto has announced in an Instagram video that he is finally leaving the priesthood: “I have decided to withdraw from the exercise of priestly ministry.” He was a Redemptorist and ordained to the priesthood in 2013 at the Santuario del Perpetuo Socorro in Granada, Spain. He prefers to keep private the “serious reasons” that turned his ministry into a “very sad and very difficult” experience. Looking to the future, he hopes for “the opportunity for a new life, shared with someone, or to start my own family.” He has taken up employment within an educational community and has assumed the role of Academic Vice Director at an international institution. Montes was "born a poet and an artist.” As a missionary priest, Montes had the opportunity to visit countries such as India, Honduras, Thailand, and Colombia, as well as various cities in Spain and Italy.
