Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna wrote an editorial for the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption without stating the bodily dimension of the Marian feast and the eternal destiny of man. The cardinal reflects on Mary, war, peace, fraternity, and the divisions of our age, but his interpretation of the feast repeatedly turns the reader’s attention back toward earthly concerns. Some key passages: - “The reunion with the Son, in the bosom of the Father—this is the meaning of the Assumption.” - “Yes, Mary is assumed into heaven. But she still stands beneath the Cross.” - “The mystery of Mary, assumed into heaven by her Son, invites us to take up again the weaving of fraternity among peoples as the heart of the Church’s mission today.” - “A Mother in heaven who teaches us to be brothers and sisters all together on Earth.” The editorial then moves through war, democracy, the global economy, the condition of women, poverty, digital culture, human relationships …ተወሳኺ
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Angelo Accattino as Nuncio to Colombia. He had until now served as Nuncio to Tanzania. Monsignor Accattino appears to be a reliable institutional exponent of the Francis pontificate: he praised Francis's magisterium as “firm and secure” and spoke positively of Amoris Laetitia. He embraced the Amazon Synod process and the Synod on Synodality. In 2026, he explicitly spoke of "journeying together as a Synodal Church". His online profile emphasizes ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, social justice, and the characteristic pastoral vocabulary of the Francis era.
Developing story… Yes. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has scrapped its proposal to install additional Islamic foot-washing (ablution/wudu) stations. The plan would have added one station inside an existing men’s restroom and one inside an existing women’s restroom on the pre-security side of Terminal D (the international terminal). It was still in the evaluation phase (not fully approved), with a state filing listing an estimated cost in the $115,000–$300,000 range and a potential late-2026 timeline. DFW said it accelerated its review due to elevated public interest this week and determined the project “would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits.” DFW already has two ablution stations (installed around 2019) beside the Terminal D Interfaith Chapel near Gate D40 on the post-security side. Reports indicate the cancellation applies only to the proposed new restroom stations; there has been no announcement about removing the existing ones. Texas Gov. …ተወሳኺ
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters with Excommunication: On August 14, Bishop Michael F. Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, issued a “pastoral” letter concerning the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — using sharp and decidedly unsynodal language. He warns that knowingly providing public, organizational, material, or financial support to FSSPX communities is "objectively sinful" and "can result in excommunication." Bishop Olson even described the FSSPX as a “self-formed and schismatic sect.” He specifically mentioned two FSSPX churches within his diocese — Our Lady of Mount Carmel in North Richland Hills and Our Lady of Fatima in Sanger — as well as the former Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, whose nuns have been in open conflict with Bishop Olson for years.
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters With Excommunication
Very pastoral of the bishop. It is remarkable that the "listening", "Synodal" church refuses to listen to the clear, respectful questions raised by the SSPX. Is it possible that their agenda cannot stand up to clear and objective review.

Bishop Gerard de Korte of’s-Hertogenbosch has responded critically to the open letter against the failed synodal project by his auxiliary bishop Rob Mutsaerts. Monsignor Mutsaerts did not consult him about this lengthy open letter, Bishop De Korte told Nd.nl on August 14. For him “a personal letter to the pope would have been the proper course of action, if Mutsaerts truly does not wish to sow division, as he writes”. Bishop de Korte added: “After all, a bishop or auxiliary bishop has his own means of communicating with the Bishop of Rome”. And: “In any case, at the request of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV, the Dutch bishops will continue building a synodal Church. On Friday, October 16, the bishops and Dutch religious orders will organize a national day of inspiration on synodality, at the St. John’s Centre in ’s-Hertogenbosch.” In 2020, because of differences with the liberal Bishop de Korte, Monsignor Mutsaerts stepped down from virtually all of his administrative duties in the …ተወሳኺ
Bishop De Korte allowed a homo-prayer service in his cathedral at pink saturday (june 2017). That's all you need to know. He finally gave up his plan, as too much resistance raised from within his diocese. The bishop of Roermond (Van den Hout) allowed the same scandalous service in one of his churches last year, offering a platform to the Dutch building-a-bridge movement. No worries, they've nothing to fear from Rome as both bishops are VERY synodal.

US Bishops are discussing the Mass in the Roman Rite among themselves and internally and [allegedly] want to be solicitous for the pastoral needs of those Catholics, Archbishop Paul Coakley, 71, of Oklahoma City told Raymond Arroyo. Archbishop Coakley is the president of the US bishops. He noticed "one of the dioceses in Texas has just this week relaxed some restrictions in order to make the Traditional Latin Mass more available, at least in that one diocese.” Arroyo asked what Catholics should do when diocesan Masses are increasingly restricted. “Well, it's a dilemma that many people who are attached to the Traditional Latin Mass are facing,” Coakley replied. He has encouraged Catholics to go to the local parish of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). Just outside Oklahoma City is the well-attended St. Michael’s Chapel in Bethany, served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The archbishop pretended to know little about it: “We still do have a chapel here that …ተወሳኺ
The last word, Archbishop? Paul VI all but eliminated the Old Mass, JP II opens it up a crack, Benedict says it was never really done away with and gives it broad circulation, Francis jumps on it, and now we are supposed to be waiting for Leo? Zigzag, zigzag. We have friends in the Detroit area who now attend at sede-vacantist church -- that's what the popes have wrought. And I know, our friends are outside the Church...well, maybe not.
In God's reality, Moses was the first Bishop, the lineage of Aaron the first priests, and the Sons of Levi the lineage of deacons. Of the true Israel, the Catholic Church. With the incarnation of God our Lord and Savior, these blood lines started pretending they were Semites, even Jews. As our Lord tells us Revelation 3:9: "I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—come and bow down before your feet."
Interesting video. Thank you Pierre. Check out the link I posted below. Well they can try all they want. They have tried for decades to take out Putin. Either by many assassination attempts or replacing him. They (US and NATO AND EU) are planning a huge coup in Russia soon. "IF" it's GOD Will, it might be time for him to be replaced. But I don't think GOD is done with Putin from preventing WWlll. Just yet! But I see it coming very quickly now. I can only hope that GOD will prevent the coup from happening. Even if it happens, they usually grow closer to Putin and love and protect him even more. We will protect him. The people of Russia! "Putin! Nobody will arrest him" Russians react to Putin's arrest warrant
Leo XIV’s Appointee Honored as “Masonic Brother” in 2022: On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Rome Professor Umberto Longo to the Vatican’s Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. In December 2022, Longo gave a lecture in Venice on the Italian Freemason and comic artist Hugo Pratt (1927–1995). At the end, Gian-Paolo Barbi, Sovereign Grand Commander of the masonic lodge 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite', took the floor. He tapped Longo on the shoulder and addressed him as 'il fratello professor Longo' - 'Brother Professor Longo'. The phrase is noteworthy because older Masonic publications from 2013 and 2014 also identify an “Umberto Longo” as a Masonic “Brother” and Scottish Rite officer.
«il fratello professor Longo»: Questa settimana Leone XIV ha nominato il professor Umberto Longo membro del Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche. Nel dicembre 2022, Longo tenne a Venezia una conferenza su Hugo Pratt. Al termine della relazione, Gian-Paolo Barbi, presentatosi come Sovrano Gran Commendatore del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato, ringraziò il relatore con queste parole: «questa intensa emozione che il fratello professor Longo ci ha voluto donare con questa bellissima disquisizione». L’espressione «il fratello professor Longo», pronunciata dal vertice del Rito Scozzese, è significativa.
One more mason for the large number of masons in the Vatican. Prevost gives them high positions, to them and to the sodomites. It's more than obvious who Prevost serves.
Col. Douglas Macgregor, who has been consistently pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine in that war has been consistently wrong in his claims of Ukraine’s early demise, yet he has now created a series of scripted videos where he makes dramatic and suspicious claims. It appears to be a new tactic to gain some credibility on the internet which has become tired of his failed pro-Russian message. My main problem with his claims is the telltale issue that I always ask when a person is claiming super secret insider information, “How could he know what he is claiming?” and, it was real, why would his insider sources let him broadcast it to the world?
Restore the respect due to God first in the liturgy, we will naturally respect the liturgy. Roman rite give such example, the sheep are flocking to it.
Isaiah 56:1, 6-7 "A house of prayer for all peoples" God welcomes everyone. Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 "The gifts and the call of God." Let us welcome. Matthew 15:21-28 " Have pity on me " The Lord welcomes everyone, whether they need help or simply want to be with him. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Cardinal Raymond Burke delivered a short video message to “those who are "discouraged by the persecution of the traditional Latin mass that is presently going on" (Wdtprs.com, August 13). The cardinal described the Mass in the Roman rite as "a tremendous good in the Church" that will "never be lost". "It is for us now even at the cost of suffering to fight for it that it be as available as possible to all the faithful who desire it." #newsItmmgdutxf
On August 13, Pope Leo XIV appointed Francesco Cesareo, 67, president emeritus of Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts, to the Vatican Committee for Historical Sciences. He was appointed alongside Umberto Longo, who is apparently a Freemason, and Polish historian Anna Barańska. Cesareo is married and the father of three adult children. From 2007 until 2022, he served as president of Assumption University. He left to live closer to his family and first grandchild and now teaches at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Pennsylvania. "LGBTQ-Friendly" University President During Cesareo's presidency, Assumption University recognized the homosexual student organization AU Allies and was listed as “LGBTQ-friendly” by the homosexual group 'New Ways Ministry'. The clearest controversy arose in 2020. Assumption's Campus Ministry circulated the U.S. bishops' document 'Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship'. The document called for protecting marriage as the lifelong union of …ተወሳኺ
I am posting a link to a great conversation refuting @ Instaurare Omnia in Christo. Please read it for a Catholic analysis of the Russian propaganda posted on GTV! Thanks! Father Gruner
You are ridiculous and a child. RUSSIA DIDN'T BRING ERRORS TO THE WORLD. The jews did. A commie did. Millions of Catholics and....... ORTHODOX murdered by their hands. A plan they had to destroy Russia and wipe out Russians for about a century now. The plan to divide her. With 56 + countries against ONE! And you are part of the evil ones. Spreading your lies and hatred to others. Constantly repeating something so others can start to believe it. What is said about that? REPEAT IT ENOUGH TIMES AND THE PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT. If that Pope was alive today, he would surely put you in your place. But if GOD and The Blessed Mother can't make you see, I doubt a Pope will. You have a mission to spread propaganda. And you really stink at it.
@frawley Thank you for your comment. The Last encyclical from the Vatican on atheistic communism clearly stated Moscow as the center of the anti Christian attack on the Church and Civilization. Abortion was first legalized in Soviet Russia so it is an "error of Russia." Zionism and the Israeli state are both "error of Russia" as it also comes from Russia. The protocols of the learned elders of zion were first printed in Russia. This is just the tip of the iceberg of Russia's errors. I could also state the possibility that Russia was responsible for setting the stage for WW1. Russia starved 18 million in Holodomor. Stalin's pact with Hitler enabled the beginning of WW2. The CCP murder of 50-100 millions souls, and Red Korea are "errors of Russia." And what of @ V. R. S. claims that Vatican 2 council was the nexus of "Russia's Errors." American feminism is an "error of Russia." This list is not exhaustive. God bless you!
