The Archdiocese of Bombay has reportedly permitted the diocesan celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass on "an experimental basis". The Archdiocese has been led by Archbishop John Rodrigues since 25 January 2025, succeeding pro-homosexual Cardinal Oswald Gracias.
The Archdiocese of Bombay has offered a welcome development by permitting the diocesan celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass on an experimental and private basis. This decision, approved by Archbishop John Rodrigues, comes as a quiet but genuine relief for many faithful
Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …Mer
Remember the good old days when the Jesuits forbade their members from becoming bishops or accepting any other kind of powerful religious or secular office to keep their innate intelligence and talent from devolving into arrogance, and resulting in their judgment about whether they existed to serve God or to improve on Him being clouded? So much of the evil that has seized the church has been initiated by Jesuits who were set free to give their conceit and arrogance free rein.
On 29 April, the Canadian homosexual activist Jake Tucker, 39, was found guilty of multiple sex-trafficking and assault-related charges following a trial in Barrie, Ontario. Tucker is in a homosexual "marriage" and produced/bought a baby girl via surrogacy. In the past, he has organised homosexual events, drag nights, flag raising, and other local activist initiatives. According to prosecutors, Tucker recruited, controlled and exploited two women for several years, arranging their prostitution and taking a share of the profits. He also used coercion, violence and drugs to maintain control. The case began in 2022, when a woman reported to the police that Tucker had trafficked her for years. Investigators later identified a second alleged victim who made similar claims. After the verdict, Tucker denied the allegations and said he plans to appeal, arguing that the women were lying and that the police investigation was flawed. He is expected to return to court for sentencing and could face …Mer
06.05.2026 Popes Leo, Francis and Benedict use the LG 16 - visible premise to interpret Vatican Council II liberally : President Trump could correct the general dishonesty of the U.S State Dept., the Vatican and Italian Govt. This dishonest interpretation of Vatican Council II is being used by the U.S State Department and the Government in Italy. The Catholic traditionalists have to accept Vatican Council II interpreted with the Irrational and not Rational Premise or be excommunicated. This is not the Gospel. This is not the truth but a falsehood. With the LG 16- error the books of Cardinal Ratzinger are no more conservative and authoritative but heretical and schismatic. It is the same with the writings of Pope Francis. For Pope Leo, Vatican Council II has exceptions for EENS. It indicates that LG 16 refers to a physically visible and not invisible case. This is dishonesty and it is irrational. Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez used the LG 16 error of Rahner and Ratzinger to interpret …Mer
Selected quotes from the book A Wider View of the Second Vatican Council by Archimandrite Boniface Luykx. Republished in English by Angelico Press, Brooklyn, NY, 2025. Archimandrite Boniface Luykx (1915–2004) was a Belgian Premonstratensian canon regular, professor, and liturgical scholar. In the 1940s and 1950s he was among the leading figures of the Catholic liturgical movement and taught for many years at the University of Notre Dame’s Summer School of Liturgy. From 1960 to 1971 he served as a missionary in Africa, where he founded the Monastère de l’Assomption and taught at Lovanium University in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). Beginning in 1959, he was a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Liturgy and later served as a liturgical consultant and expert (peritus) at the Second Vatican Council, as well as one of the authors of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium). After the Council, he became a member of the Consilium …Mer
On 27 April, Leo XIV’s liturgical vestment designer, Filippo Sorcinelli, spoke to DailyMail.co.uk about the papal liturgical wardrobe. Sorcinelli is a homosexual who uses imagery of sadomasochism in his work as a perfumer. He works with the Vatican's liturgical office to design vestments, not directly with Leo XIV. He said that the Pope does not stage spectacles: "Each visual choice contributes to building a language of reliability, balance and quiet authority." The means of communication are fabrics, colours and shapes. "Every detail is designed to support the Pope’s role, not draw attention away from it." Leo XIV has leaned into classic papal tailoring, reinstating details such as cufflinks and structured vestments that emphasise form and precision. Sorcinelli has never perceived a conflict between his faith and his vice: "I have never viewed faith and homosexuality as adversaries, but rather as a creative tension that fuels my work." He added that his experience within the Church …Mer
This explains why Leo's Papal Vestments are so horrible.....they look like rags that should be thrown in the garbage. Especially those short abhorrent German-style Mitres, which look like they're made of cardboard with cheap trim glued on.
@Chung Clement Jaeho Ave brother! I share your frustration but we must always see God's will in these things and trust in His Divine Providence! I just posted an article on the Russia/Sino communist takeover of Africa and I can't believe the comments! Maybe you should check them out! God bless you!
@Jeffrey Ade"Dear Brother Jeffrey, I hope you’ve been doing well. As I mentioned before, I’ve been staying away from this place because I’m frankly disillusioned. There are just too many fools here who claim to be 'Traditional Catholics' yet offer blind support to Trump, J.D. Vance, and the current GOP. Still, I sincerely wish for your peace and well-being. Thank you so much for sharing such excellent material. It’s incredibly refreshing to see a clear critique—not just of the hypocrisy of 'Trad Inc.', but also of those so-called Traditional Catholics who blindly follow these politicians. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can call people like Trump, J.D. Vance, or Marco Rubio 'devout believers' or 'protectors of the Christian community.' As you may have heard, a French nun was recently assaulted in Jerusalem. Beyond that, while radical Zionists brutally oppress Christian communities in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Armenia, has Trump, Vance, or Rubio ever raised a …Mer
Russia-US Diplomatic Row Erupts Over Citizenship Of Diplomats’ Children | WION Tensions have flared between Russia and the United States over the citizenship status of diplomats’ children. Moscow has accused Washington of “forcing” American citizenship through birthright laws, claiming it violates international diplomatic norms. The US maintains its legal framework, but the dispute has added a fresh layer to already strained ties, highlighting how even legal interpretations can spark geopolitical friction.
Rev Gerardo Saco resigned from his appointment as Bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran in the Philippines. Pope Leo XIV appointed Rev. Saco on 25 March 2026, with the episcopal ordination scheduled for 26 May. On 5 May, Cebu Archbishop Alberto Uy announced that Leo XIV had accepted Rev Saco’s resignation. Rev Saco suddenly discovered a “change of heart” and “human limitations and inadequacies”. However, it is more likely that there is an undisclosed issue behind this decision. Choosing Bishops with Hidden Scandals Declining after papal appointment and before ordination used to be very rare in the Church. It has increased in the past decade as a side effect of deliberately appointing compromised or unsuitable candidates. In Argentina alone, Francis appointed three priests as bishops who then resigned from the episcopal consecration weeks later. Bishop Pascalis Syukur, who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a woman and had fathered two children, accepted Pope Francis’s …Mer
'Regardless of the report, the Catholic Churchteachesthat homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” TheCatechism of the Catholic Churchstates: “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”
Tue May 5, 2026 - 12:08 pm EDTTue May 5, 2026 - 5:40 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A report from the Vatican’s General Secretariat of the Synod published Tuesday suggests a reframing of homosexuality, endorsing testimony without qualification that “sin, at its root, does not consist in the (same-sex) couple relationship” but in “a lack of faith in a God who desires our fulfilment.” The Vatican-commissioned Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality published its Final Report May 5, “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues.” Under the heading, “Taking a synodal approach to discernment: A proposal for implementation in local Churches,” the 32-page document relies on the testimonies of the “lived experience” of two individuals with same-sex attraction to “aid the promotion of pastoral discernment.” Framing the two testimonies as “experiences of goodness” which constitute “successive stages of development in …
Chapter XIX ~ Pains of Purgatory — St. Magdalene de Pazzi and Sister Benedicta — St. Gertrude — Blessed Margaret Mary and Mother de Montoux. We read in the Life of St. Magdalene de Pazzi that one of her sisters, named Maria-Benedicta, a Religious of eminent virtue, died in her arms. During her agony she saw a multitude of angels, which surrounded her with a joyful air, waiting until she should breathe forth her soul, that they might bear it to the Heavenly Jerusalem ; and at the moment she expired, the saint saw them receive the soul under the form of a dove, the head of which was of a golden hue, and disappear with her. Three hours later, watching and praying near the remains, Magdalene knew that the soul of the deceased was neither in Paradise nor Purgatory, but in a particular place where, without suffering any sensible pain, she was deprived of the sight of God. The following day, whilst Mass was being celebrated for the soul of Maria-Benedicta, at the Sanctus Magdalene was again …Mer
"A Religious died in the flower of her age in the embrace of the Lord. She had been remarkable for her tender devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. After her death St. Gertrude saw her, brilliant with a celestial light, kneeling before the Divine Master, whose glorified wounds appeared like lighted torches, from whence issued five flaming rays that pierced the five senses of the deceased. The countenance of the latter, however, was clouded by an expression of deep sadness. " Lord Jesus," cried the saint, " how comes it that whilst you thus illumine your servant, why does she not experience perfect joy?"
"Until now," replied the good Master, "this sister has been worthy to contemplate my glorified humanity only, and to enjoy the sight of my five wounds, in recompense for her tender devotion to the mystery of the Holy Eucharist ; but unless numerous suffrages are offered in her favour, she cannot yet be admitted to the beatific vision, on account of some slight defects in the observation of her holy rules."
