On June 24, Leo XIV has appointed Rev. Anand David Xalxo, 50, Vicar General and Rector of St. Mary's Cathedral in Ranchi, as Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Ranchi, India. The Archdiocese of Ranchi comprises about 180k Catholics, 35 parishes, more than 300 priests and over 1,000 religious sisters. Born in Mandar on 20 November 1975, Monsignor Xalxo was ordained a priest in 2006. Over the past two decades he has served in a variety of pastoral and administrative roles. On July 5, 2019, Rev. Xalxo spoke with UcaNews.com about the Eastern meditation method yoga. He said that most Catholic schools in the Archdiocese practice yoga daily “to build up positive energy, good health, and mental stability.” “There is no opposition to yoga in our schools. There are instances of our priests and nuns practicing it and teaching others,” he said. Cardinal Ratzinger wrote in 1989 that Eastern methods including yoga are "not free from dangers and errors" harmful to Catholic spirituality. A Product …зиёдтар
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 …зиёдтар
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 …зиёдтар
Over 1,000 views on scandals. And sometimes as low as only 40 views on Catholic posts. Some of the most beautiful posts are over looked. I only hope everyone who can't get enough of these scandals either takes the time to pray for these Priests when they are done. Or say a Rosary for them. I never saw so many people who rush and seek out all the scandals as I do on gtv. And ignore all the beautiful and Holy "Catholic" posts. As if they don't care at all about them. Remember what you fill yourself with is what you are and will become. There is no need to read such posts. Excuses are, we want to know if they are one of my Priests. Most are no Priests. So unless you go to a no mass, there is no need to check it out. And most of the time the name and picture of the Priest is in our face. So again, no need to read it. So there goes the main excuse I hear all the time.

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?
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 …зиёдтар
"a nők érvénytelen pappá szenteléséről kérdezték, homályosan válaszolt, hogy ezt nem igazán tudja elképzelni. Hozzátette azonban: „Ha a teológia továbbfejlődik, és ha olyan mélyebb magyarázatok merülnek fel, amelyeket világszerte elfogadnak, nem veszíteném el emiatt a hitemet." Dogma: "3.

How human torture became Israel's official doctrine Since October 7, 2023, Israeli prisons and detention facilities grew into a network of torture factories for Palestinians. Geopolitics Prime has gathered harrowing survivor testimonies documented by NGOs and media. Most of them are too hard to read. These are not isolated incidents — they're now institutionalized, policy-driven terror, shielded at the highest levels of Israel’s government, military, and judiciary. 40 forms of torture A Euro-Med report confirms that sexual violence is now Israel's organized state policy, in which more than 40 forms of torture are systematically employed. The first prisoners released from Israeli detention spoke of broken bones, rape, urination on detainees and forced nudity. As of 4 April 2024, UNRWA documented the release of 1,506 detainees whose testimonies included prolonged beatings with metal bars and gun butts, stress positions for 12–16 hours while blindfolded and bound, sleep deprivation …зиёдтар
On June 20, Leo XIV has appointed Rev Elímar Gerardo Carvajal Durán, 50, as Bishop of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Born in Grecia in 1976 and ordained a priest in 2003, Monsignor Carvajal Durán has served in various pastoral roles within the Diocese of Alajuela and most recently as Diocesan Vicar for Pastoral Ministry. He is a strongly synodal, CELAM-formed, Francis-era pastoral organizer. His public record shows extensive commitment to "discernment", "accompaniment", and "synodality". Strong Synodal Profile By September 2022, Rev. Carvajal had assumed a leading role in coordinating the Diocese of Alajuela's Diocesan Synodal Process. In a September 28, 2022 talk on the Youtube channel of the Diocese of Alajuela, Monsignor Carvajal uses all of the Francis’ buzzwords such as "the synodal Church", "the reality is always before the idea", “listening to the cries of people”, etc. His Language Speaks Volumes In a September 5, 2023 video, Monsignor Carvajal said that discernment and synodality …зиёдтар
He needs to affirm the Creeds, Councils and Cathechisms in the original. He does not do this. This is a canonical issue. With Vatican Council II rational we can affirm the Council and Tradition. But the bishop, with Vatican Council II irrational cannot affirm both. A bishop who cannot affirm de fide teachings in Tradition which are not contradicted by Vatican Council II, cannot hold his office. It is obligatory, morally and canonically for the bishop to affirm Vatican Council I I only rationally ( LG 16 inviible.)
Masturbation and voodoo artwork in Paris churches. Worse than Germany: During the 'Nuit Blanche' event organised by the Paris Archdiocese on June 6-7, there were 'immersive installations' in churches. This infamous event was directed by Barbara Butch, a lesbian activist who is known for playing Jesus Christ in the controversial opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics. According to a video published by TribuneChrétienne.com, the installation featured satanic sounds, overlapping voices, whispers, creaks, breathing and what the organisers described as an exploration of 'dark ideas', 'an unstable perception of reality' and a 'quasi-hypnotic' atmosphere. Inside the churches, there were voodoo-inspired masks, grotesque figures, and skeletal humanoid sculptures. One figure appeared to simulate masturbation near an altar.
Nuit Blanche, idées noires et profanations. Images TRIBUNE CHRETIENNE. comment le diocèse de Paris a-t-il pu autoriser cela ? Si les critiques se concentrent souvent sur Barbara Butch ou sur la mairie de Paris, la véritable question est ailleurs Pourquoi les autorités diocésaines ont-elles accepté que des églises soient intégrés à une telle programmation ?
The suspect (L) with her parents. Source X A Dutch teenage girl arrested for murdering her parents had a history of gender confusion, to the point of identifying herself as a boy as well as a dog. The Hungarian Conservative reports that the couple identified so far only as Johan and Mathilda were found stabbed to death in their Meerstad home after their 15-year-old daughter reportedly sent photos of their bodies to classmates using WhatsApp. Police also found the family’s golden retriever with stab wounds, but not killed. (It is also speculated, but not confirmed, that she injured her family’s pet cat on a previous occasion.) Dutch media interviews with classmates and neighbors paint a picture of a girl long struggling with mental issues. She reportedly wanted to be identified as a boy before deciding to identify as and act like a dog, wearing fake ears and tail as she would “crawl around on all fours and bark while running through the school corridors,” running through her neighborhood …
Monsignor Livio Melina (pictured with Benedict XVI), former president (2006-2016) of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, has written on Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia’s role in the suppression of the original Institute. Melina responded on LaNuovaBq.it (June 20) to a May 21 interview Paglia gave to Settimana News. “Cover for an Unconfessable Interest” Melina’s most striking accusation comes near the end of his essay: “Paglia’s actions were not moved by theological reasons, but by an ideological criticism of the Institute.” He suggests that ideology serves to hide deeper motives: “Ideology, as Karl Marx taught us, functions as a cover for an unconfessable interest.” Melina suggests that the suppression may have stemmed from a conviction that the Church's traditional teaching on marriage and family is "unreasonable" and "impracticable".

He had this picture on his bed, the little card on the corner is our Lady holding the Body of our Lord. Perhaps Michael Jackson, despite the obvious catholic picture in his bed at neverland ranch, wasn’t catholic, BUT he believe in God and His Son Jesus, Im sure, Divine Mercy intervened on Michael's behalf, finding Paradise through fields of loving fire instead of horrific darkness and Divine anger. Please keep on praying for the souls of purgatory, through the Rosary or with the St Gertrude's prayer. God bless.
