Leo XIV Accepts Concept of "Gender" in Encyclical

Leo XIV’s first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas adopts the ideological concept of “gender”. Depending on the language, translations are different.
Paragraph 79 is about social justice: “It aims to mend broken bonds and reintegrate those who have been excluded, taking into account the wounds caused by injustices, such as wars, colonialism, racial or gender discrimination, violence against entire peoples and exploitation.
The used term “gender” is not a neutral vocabulary. It is the linguistic framework to separate the natural sex from a self-attributed category.
Until Leo XIV, the term gender was carefully quarantined or rejected - even in the Francis’ Vatican. Amoris Laetitia (2016) used the word “gender” in quotation marks and rejected it as “an ideology that denies the difference and natural reciprocity of man and woman.”
Cardinal Tucho Fernández signed Dignitas infinita in 2024, which explicitly condemned gender theory.

Washington Archbishop Cardinal Robert McElroy on June 3 removed a prominent priest from his role as an archdiocesan exorcist after the priest made remarks linking UFOs to demonic activity.
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti was “removed … as an exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington,” McElroy
said in a statement posted to the archdioceseʼs website. Rossetti is a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, New York, the statement noted.
In addition to Rossettiʼs removal, McElroy said the archdiocese had “ended all affiliation between the archdiocese and the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal located in Washington, D.C.”
Led by Rossetti, the St. Michael Center is a Catholic nonprofit that “conducts spiritual education workshops and trains clergy, religious, and laity,” according to its website.
Rossetti had on May 29 posted a video to YouTube in which the exorcist had expressed his personal belief that “many …

DISCLOSURE NOW.

“Disclosure Now: What Catholics MUST Know Before Trump Announces UFOs, Aliens, & ETs” - Source: youtube.com/watch?v=pUutKlkqhMk - Book: Amazon.com - “The First and Last Deception: Aliens, UFOs, AI, and the Return of Eden's Demise” - The English word "disclosure" means "revelation." The Greek word "apocalypse" also means "revelation." In my understanding, this is not a mere coincidence, nor a fortuitous event. I am convinced that the alien "revelation" that is so widely discussed, when it occurs globally, will be intimately connected with the beginning of the "revelation" corresponding to the last book of Sacred Scripture, which, as is known, refers to an immense deception of the evil one, implemented on a global scale, perpetrated by the Antichrist—the false Messiah—assisted by the False Prophet or religious antichrist who, in my opinion, will most likely be a "conciliar pope"—Prevost or one of his successors...

Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.

they are use to be for a long time. Remember, it's Bunnini's novus ordo.
And they will not have it other way.
If they would, there should be some TLM there, which is not. Not even close to their place, I am pretty sure.

New Female Vatican Prefect: "...there's the idea that all Jews should become Christians, which obviously is wrong...", said María Montserrat Alvarado in August 2022 in a youtube.com video. Yesterday, Leo XIV has appointed her as the prefect of the Dicastery for Communication.

Montse Alvarado: "There was this undercurrent of criticism of Pope Francis regarding supersessionism. That's a really big word, but it basically refers to the idea that Christianity nullifies or replaces the Jewish faith. Rather than viewing Jews as our brothers and sisters, walking hand in hand with us toward salvation, and recognizing them as God's chosen people, supersessionism promotes the idea that all Jews should become Christians. Obviously, that's wrong."

Swedish Saint: "If the Pope in Rome and All the Priests Should Leave the Church…"

A brilliant 30-minute film (below) about Saint Elisabeth Hesselblad (+1957), the first Swedish saint since the late Middle Ages, has been produced by EWTN Norge. The narrator is Clemens Cavellin, a Catholic academic.
Elizabeth, a Lutheran, emigrated to the USA in 1888. She started working from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., suffered from a stomach illness with internal bleeding, led a lonely and sad life and ended up in hospital.
In the hospital she received poor treatment, felt forgotten and finally turned to God: "If You make me well enough, I will dedicate my life to Your poor and never let anyone You send me to care for be left like this".
Elizabeth recovered, learned to be a nurse, and began to attend different churches and even synagogues in search of answers to her religious questions.
Most of the Catholics she met were poor labourers. As a nurse, she once treated a Dominican nun in a convent. There she read about the Real Presence in the Eucharist.
She was employed as a nurse by a wealthy …Okuninzi

Rome Church Vandalised – Human Excrement Left

Four intruders vandalised the parish church of San Paolo della Croce in Rome's Portuense-Corviale district on Wednesday afternoon before being stopped by the assistant priest.
The Diocese of Rome said damage included oil overturned onto the altar, staining the liturgical cloth; pen markings on the same cloth; the glass of a small Madonna image smashed; catechism rooms defaced; and human excrement left on bathroom floors.
The group slipped in while the church was largely empty. They fled after the assistant priest heard suspicious noises and confronted them.
Police spent several hours collecting forensic evidence. The church remained closed for the rest of the afternoon. No arrests have been announced.
Auxiliary Bishop Stefano Sparapani described the episode as "an obvious expression of youth disaffection."
The Diocese stated that Rev Giacobbe Elia, who described the attack as premeditated and spiritually motivated, is neither incardinated in the Diocese of Rome nor serves as a diocesan …Okuninzi

So, according to the diocese, only a few lads letting off steam, the REAL problem being that pesky priest who has the courage to live in the real world instead of on a comforting VII cloud, and who had the Chutzpah to have expected better from the dear, misunderstood boys. So move on, people--no anti-Catholicism or hatred of western culture to see here. (Then again, maybe the boys were just art lovers who thought churches shouldn't look like supermarkets.)

‘It’s not for you or Trump to dictate’ Russia-Ukraine negotiation terms – Medvedev to Graham
It is not up to Washington to dictate when Moscow should negotiate a peace deal with Kiev, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has told US Senator Lindsey Graham, urging him to focus on domestic issues instead.
Medvedev’s comments follow US President Donald Trump’s decision on Monday to shorten his 50-day deadline for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine to just 10-12 days. Trump has threatened to impose additional sanctions on Moscow and 100% tariffs on its trading partners if no deal is reached.
Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, had cautioned Trump against issuing ultimatums.

Trump Spoke for China’s Catholics—The Pope Stayed Silent – Allah's Willing Executioners

Between May 14 and 15, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the first bilateral summit took place between the leaders of what are often considered the two current superpowers, Donald Trump’s United States of America and Xi Jinping’s China. The event evoked the summits of the Cold War, when the opposing pole to the West was embodied by the Soviet Union, but today, although there are some parallels, many circumstances are drastically different.
Among these distinguishing elements, worthy of note are the consequences that the summit—and perhaps future ones—may have for the Vatican: not only in its relationship with the two powers but, above all, in the public perception of the idea that the Holy See cultivates regarding respect for human rights.
As is well known, the Vatican maintains complex relations with both poles of international power. On the one hand, the tension with Donald Trump—fueled by his personal attacks on the pontiff on Truth Social and by disagreements over the …

Dimanche 7 juin – Deuxième dimanche après la Pentecôte – En France : solennité de la Fête-Dieu

En France : solennité de la Fête-Dieu
Dans les lieux où la solennité de la Fête-Dieu se transfère au 2ème Dimanche après la Pentecôte, la messe de dimanche n’est plus dite qu’en semaine.
Après le dogme de la Sainte Trinité, c’est celui de l’Incarnation de Jésus que le Saint-Esprit nous rappelle, en nous faisant célébrer, avec l’Église, le Sacrement par excellence qui, en résumant toute la vie du Sauveur, donne à Dieu une gloire infinie et applique aux âmes, à toutes les époques, les fruits de la Rédemption (Or.). C’est sur la croix que Jésus nous a sauvés, et l’Eucharistie, instituée la veille de la passion du Christ, en est restée le mémorial (Or.). L’autel est le prolongement du Calvaire, la messe « annonce la mort du Seigneur » (Epître). Jésus y est en effet à l’état de victime, car les paroles de la double consécration nous montrent que le pain n’est changé qu’au corps du Christ, et le vin n’est changé qu’en son sang, de telle sorte que par cette double action …
