The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Lebih
Ordo Yesuit terus melakukan reorganisasi besar-besaran terhadap kehadirannya di Katalonia, karena berkurangnya jumlah anggota Ordo Yesuit dan menua-nya anggota memaksa penutupan beberapa rumah Ordo. Komunitas Kelas Pekerja Ditutup, Sekolah-Sekolah Elite Tetap Beroperasi Penutupan pertama yang terjadi baru-baru ini terjadi di Bellvitge, di mana komunitas Jesuit yang didirikan pada tahun 1968 mengakhiri kehadirannya pada akhir tahun 2025. Komunitas tersebut merupakan salah satu karya sosial unggulan para Jesuit di Spanyol pascaperang. Para Jesuit juga menyerahkan tanggung jawab atas paroki Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. Sekolah Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII tetap beroperasi dalam jaringan pendidikan Jesuit. Reorganisasi komunitas Jesuit berlanjut di El Clot, di mana komunitas residensial Jesuit akan berakhir pada akhir tahun akademik 2025-2026. Ordo Jesuit mengutip alasan yang sama: berkurangnya jumlah anggota Jesuit yang aktif, kurangnya panggilan, dan tingginya usia rata-…Lebih
Oh, but but,... all the novus ordo clergy don't need Latin at all. What do they need Latin for? Plus, even the demons hate the sacred Latin of the Church—especially its prayers, Gregorian chant, and above all the solemn rite of exorcism.

Ceuta Immigrants Are "Saints": Spanish priest Fr Ángel García, founder of the charity Mensajeros de la Paz, described invaders in Ceuta as "saints" because they had remained calm in difficult circumstances. Speaking to laSexta television in Ceuta on August 3, the priest said that many people would have reacted violently in the same circumstances, but the invaders were peacefully waiting for an opportunity to enter the reception centre. His remarks contrast with reports of unrest, including incidents of looting, violence and the carrying of machetes.
In the Moroccan invasion of Ceuta, people with katanas, jihadists, and all kinds of criminals have entered, but for "Father Ángel," they are true "saints."

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …Lebih
Muslims Lose Their Minds When 26 Different ARABIC Qurans Return to Speakers' Corner! Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries youtube.com/watch?v=9y7eWEjBBw4 4 lug 2017 #JaySmith#SpeakersCorner#HatunTash About a year ago, Jay Smith and Hatun Tash got up on their ladders at Speakers' Corner to show 26 different Arabic Qur'ans to the world. They didn't have the time then to go through the 26 Qur'ans, and so they decided to bring the Qurans back to Speakers' Corner for a similar talk, but this time to go through and show some of the differences. To date, Arabic scholars who are doing the research (not Jay nor Hatun, who are clear that they are not Arabic scholars) have found 45,377 differences within the 26 Qur'ans they are looking at. That number will continue to rise as they find hundreds, and perhaps thousands more. Jay and Hatun couldn't go through all the 45,377 differences they were aware of, so they only brought down about 70 examples, taken from an assortment of the …Lebih
Seven years after his death, the Capuchin bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise still lacks a proper grave inscription in the Capuchin cemetery of San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy. Bishop Laise became internationally known for defending the practice of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. During debates within the Argentine Episcopal Conference in 1996 over the introduction of Communion in the hand, he chose not to implement the indult in his diocese, maintaining that receiving Communion on the tongue remained the universal norm of the Church. After retiring, he settled in San Giovanni Rotondo, where he spent his final years serving as a confessor. Although a marble slab was placed over his grave at the time of his burial in 2019, it still bears only the temporary paper funeral notice affixed on the day of his funeral. No permanent inscription has ever been added. The case has attracted renewed attention following an investigation by Italian journalist Simone Ortolani, as reported by Messa in Latino. …Lebih
The Society of Jesus is continuing a major reorganization of its presence in Catalonia as declining numbers of Jesuits and an aging membership force the closure of houses. Working-Class Communities Close, Elite Schools Remain The first recent closure came in Bellvitge, where the Jesuit community founded in 1968 ended its presence at the close of 2025. It was one of the Jesuits' flagship social apostolates in post-war Spain. The Jesuits also handed over responsibility for the parish of Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. The Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII school continues to operate within the Jesuit education network. The reorganization of Jesuit communities continued in El Clot, where the Jesuit residential community at the end of the academic year 2025-2026. The Society cited the same reasons: fewer active Jesuits, a lack of vocations, and the high average age of its members. Institutions Staffed by Lay Collaborators Jesuit educational and pastoral activities continue through …Lebih

Question: Based on all going issues since Benedict XVI resigned from ministerium and not from munus, how one can consider Bergoglio and Prevost were/are true popes? Canon 332 §2 of the 1983 Code states plainly: Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestetur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptetur. "If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his munus, it is required for validity that the resignation be freely made and properly manifested, but it is not necessary that it be accepted by anyone." The canon uses munus — not ministerium, not officium, not any other term. Munus in the canonical tradition carries the weight of the office itself: the ontological reality, the gift-and-burden of the Petrine charge, not merely its active exercise. On February 11, 2013, Benedict XVI declared in Latin: ...declaro me ministerio Episcopi Romae, Successoris Sancti Petri, mihi per manus Cardinalium die 19 aprilis MMV …Lebih
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher wrote. "It is the sacrament at the heart of our …Lebih
Kardinal Raymond Leo Burke telah menyerukan kepada umat Katolik untuk membela sakramen perkawinan dan keluarga Kristen, bahkan jika harus menanggung penderitaan. Dalam khotbahnya pada 25 Juli di Kuil Bunda Maria dari Guadalupe di Wisconsin, kardinal tersebut mendorong pasangan suami-istri untuk merangkul panggilan mereka sebagai jalan menuju kekudusan. "Rahmat Sakramen Perkawinan bukanlah suatu cita-cita yang hanya dapat diimpikan oleh segelintir orang," katanya, "melainkan suatu realitas objektif, anugerah supernatural, yang menuntun suami dan istri untuk saling mencari keselamatan kekal satu sama lain di sepanjang jalan cinta ilahi." Kardinal tersebut menyimpulkan: "Marilah kita bersiap menghadapi kemartiran, jika bukan kemartiran merah yang berdarah, tentu saja kemartiran putih berupa kesaksian setia kepada Tuhan kita di tengah ketidakpedulian, ejekan, dan penganiayaan." Seruan Kardinal Burke ini muncul hanya dua bulan sebelum pertemuan Vatikan pada bulan Oktober yang diselenggarakan …Lebih
