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 …Zwiṅwe

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 …Zwiṅwe

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

Yesterday, the Vatican published the program for the Consistory of June 26–27, thus providing a picture of the themes, personalities, and processes that Leo XIV wants for the Church. The scheduling information had already been leaked on June 17. Francis' Personnel Remains The Vatican has entrusted the four principal sessions to Cardinals Grzegorz Ryś (Poland), Víctor Manuel Fernández (Curia), Stephen Brislin (South Africa), and Mario Grech (Curia). All four are prominent figures associated with Francis' "project". Cardinals Fernández and Grech are homosexual activists. Francis' Synodal Procedures Remain MessaInLatino immediately noted that the structure of the meeting is unmistakably similar to the synods of Francis: small groups, listening sessions, synthesis reports, and strictly timed interventions. Two of the four sessions are organized around Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica humanitas. This means discussions about peace, reconciliation, social fragmentation, technology, and power. …Zwiṅwe

The president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference (SEC), Monsignor Luis Argüello, has sent Spanish deputies and senators a special edition of the address delivered by Pope Leo XIV before the Cortes Generales during his recent apostolic journey to Spain. The publication, edited by the Library of Christian Authors (BAC), includes an epilogue signed by Argüello himself dated June 22, the feast of Saint Thomas More, patron of rulers and politicians. According to the Spanish Episcopal Conference, the edition has also been sent to the main institutions of the State, to the presidents of the autonomous communities, to representatives of social partners, media directors, and mayors of the cities visited by the Pontiff during his stay in Spain.

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

Damian Thompson interprets on 0The Spectator (June 23) the Francis' pontificate through the theory of charismatic authority. Francis emerges as a Peronist-style ruler who cultivated ambiguity, governed through unpredictability, weakened institutions, protected loyal allies, and increasingly centralised power around himself. Main quotes. - “The theology of the Bergoglio pontificate has a curiously schizophrenic quality.” - “… previously magisterial Catholic teaching on difficult topics such as divorce and homosexuality was somehow negotiable”. - “…intentional imprecision of language, a tendency to caricature critics rather than engage with their arguments,…” - “…his willingness to contradict himself. One moment he was inviting the LGBT lobby to the Vatican; the next, he was using Roman slang to mock homosexuals.” - “He compared abortionists to paid assassins; he also allowed pro-abortion Catholic politicians to receive Holy Communion and appointed ‘pro-choice’ academics to …Zwiṅwe
In December 1585, during the Eighty Years’ War, nearly 4,000 elite Spanish soldiers of the legendary Tercios found themselves in a desperate situation near Empel in the Netherlands. While digging defensive trenches, a soldier unearthed a beautifully preserved wooden panel depicting the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception. The troops saw it as a heavenly sign. They carried the image in solemn procession, raised it high with their battle flags, and prayed fervently. That very night — December 7 to 8, the eve and feast of the Immaculate Conception — an extraordinary event occurred. A sudden, intense frost froze the floodwaters solid. The watery trap became a bridge of thick ice. At dawn on December 8, the Tercios marched across the frozen river in perfect formation. They launched a surprise attack on the Dutch fleet, setting ships ablaze and capturing others. The Dutch were caught completely off guard, with many vessels trapped in the ice. The Spanish achieved a total and stunning …Zwiṅwe
Fake-Monks Confronted Homosexual March in Greece: Two men wearing clerical-style robes confronted the Thessaloniki homosexual march, shouting “Repent!” at participants. One of the men lay down in front of a truck while holding a cross and an icon. Police detained both men. Authorities later stated that neither individual was affiliated with the Greek-Orthodox community. During identification, they found that the man who had lain in front of the float had an outstanding conviction related to drug offenses and property damage.
A man - with drug problems pretending to be a monk - interrupted the "Pride" parade in Thessaloniki by lying down in the middle of the road, in front of a truck.
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 …Zwiṅwe

Durante l’incontro, il Papa ha incoraggiato i bambini a costruire amicizie vere: stare insieme, giocare, parlare, pregare e non lasciare che la tecnologia prenda il posto delle relazioni umane. «Dio non vuole guardare il telefonino», ha ricordato loro. «Dio vuole guardare i nostri cuori, la nostra vita». Al termine dell’incontro, il Santo Padre ha pregato con i bambini e li ha invitati a raccontare ai genitori di aver pregato insieme al Papa.
The original Latin Rule of Order was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked. The Primitive Rule of the Templars This translation of the original, or primitive, Rule of the Templars is based on the 1886 edition of Henri de Curzon, La Régle du Temple as a Military Manual, or How to Deliver a Cavalry Charge. It represents the Rule given to the fledgling Knights of the Temple by the Council of Troyes, 1129, although "it must not be forgotten that the Order had been in existence for several years and had built up its own traditions and customs before Hugues de Payens' appearance at the Council of Troyes. To a considerable extent, then, the Primitive Rule is based upon existing practices." (Upton-Ward, p. 11) This translation is excerpted from Judith Upton-Ward's The Rule of the Templars, …Zwiṅwe
