Rev. Juan Antonio Plaza Oña and his concelebrants celebrated Mass at a table, wearing civilian clothes and stoles during a parish assembly at San Pablo Parish in Almería, Spain, on May 17, 2026. The photographs were published on the parish’s Facebook page. Plaza Oña was appointed diocesan Vicar for Pastoral Care and Evangelization in July. On October 8, El Confidencial Digital reported that complaints about the liturgical abuse were being submitted to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship.

This was not a sacrifice, but a sacrilege, God is not impressed with this.
US Bishop prohibits celebration facing the Lord (ad orientem).
On October 2, Bishop Jeffrey Walsh, 60, of Gaylord, Michigan, issued a decree restricting the celebration of the Mass towards the Lord. It takes effect on October 15.
Under the new rules, all Sunday and holy day Masses must be read - like a talk or show - facing the people.
On weekdays, no more than two Masses per parish may be celebrated ad orientem, and only after consultation with the parish council and appropriate catechesis.
Weddings, funerals, and other Masses with congregations must also be celebrated facing the people.
Masses according to the 1962 Missal are exempt.
The bishop invokes paragraph 299 of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), claiming it favors celebration versus populum.
However, the text of GIRM 299 does NOT require Mass to be celebrated facing the people. It recommends a freestanding altar that can be walked around to incense it with a thurible and permits celebration versus populum. It …
In the past 15 years, countless parishes have been closed, and the Catholic faith is in a freefall. While the numbers of priests have declined, the bureaucracy in the parishes has greatly exploded. The Church is dying but it is also going underground.
Leo XIV appoints another
Bishop for England. He defended a homosexual Eucharist.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Bishop Timothy Menezes, 56, as the Bishop of Brentwood, succeeding Bishop Alan Williams, 75.
Menezes has served as Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham since his episcopal consecration in July 2024. As such, he defended the periodic homosexual Eucharists at St Patrick's parish in Coventry. The homosexual group there emerged from the Synodal process.
Menezes wrote a June 1, 2025 statement about the "LGBTQ+ Vigil Welcome Mass" on May 10, 2025 : “In my conversations with some members of the group, they find attending Mass in a parish difficult against the backdrop of what they sometimes see to be a Church that does not accept them. This means that they find a Mass at which they know that they are accepted, which is a first step to hopefully full integration in our parish communities.”
Notably, Bishop Menezes commented in support of the homosex Eucharist although Coventry was not within …
God will not be mocked. All will be well in the end, but we must pray, fast and do penance for these abominations.
“The Church is not a sinking ship, it is simply being remodeled,” Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop of Munich, said before the Diocesan Council on October 9. He added: “We will continue sailing together on the high seas.”
According to the cardinal, society, and with it the Church, was going through troubling times at both the global and diocesan levels.

Canada's TD Bank fires executive for identifying with Jesus
Sonja Denobrega is the latest casualty of Canada's anti-Christian policy of DIE, diversity, inclusion and equity. Yes, Denobrega was fired by TD Insurance, a branch of the Toronto-Dominion Bank for adding a cross, to signify that she identified with Jesus, to her corporate email signature. And that's not acceptable. The bank fired her.
Denobrega has now gone to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and is seeking $400,000 in damage. She was an associate vice-president of underwriting operations. Why did she lose her job? She committed the crime of adding the phrase "I am HIS" to her outgoing emails.
Canada's insane and divisive DIE policy, implemented by the bank, allows a biological male to pass as a woman, plus numerous gender and sexual identities and pronoun expressions are all permitted. But don't you dare identify as a Christian and display the cross. You have now crossed the line. The person must be seriously punished. …everydayforlifecanada.blogspot.com
0nce, I had an account with this bank. I am glad I no longer have it. There are branches of this bank in the USA, and I hope your readers will divest themselves from doing business with them.

God is merciful. He will forgive, but HE demands that you amend your life and stay away from sin. After death, God's mercy is turned into justice.
Leo XIV promotes Bishop García Macías, who fought the traditional Mass but promoted the Mayan liturgy in Mexico.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Spanish Bishop Aurelio García Macías, 61, as Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. He is succeeding Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, who has been appointed Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica.
García Macías is former rector of the seminary of Valladolid. A career man, with a gentle and courteous manner, like Monsignor Viola, he too was formed liturgically at Sant’Anselmo.
In 2021, Francis appointed García Macías Undersecretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and, unusually for that position, simultaneously elevated him to the episcopate.
Part of the Sant’ Anselmo clique
García Macías became a close friend of Archbishop Piero Marini, the former papal master of ceremonies and a prominent figure associated with the postconciliar liturgical reform.
La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana identified García Macías in 2023 as part of a group of …
This is NOT the Catholic Church; it is a pseudo church which pretends to be Catholic but is not. Pagan worship is not Christian and never will be.
