Viral Video: Authoritarian Priest Refuses Communion
On 28 April, in the parish of Our Lady of the Rosary, known as the Sanctuary of Santa Terezinha, in Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil, a priest disrespected a faithful and refused him Communion (video below). …More
The communicant was kneeling. Rev. Silvio José Dias tried to force the faithful to receive the Communion with his hands, but the layman refused to touch the Body of Christ [Noli me tangere" / "Do not touch me" Jn 20:17].
As a result, the disrespectful priest denied him Communion and turned around.
The Archdiocese of São Paulo told Metropoles.com (16 May) that a member of the faithful who is in a state of grace has a "right" to receive Communion.
"In situations where there is a risk of the Eucharist falling or being desecrated, such as in large crowds, it is recommended that Communion not be distributed in the hand".
The archdiocese added that in "exceptional circumstances", such as a "health emergency", a bishop may allow grabbing Communion with the hand [as if this were "more hygienic"]. …More

on 05/18/24
So many unseen ministries work together to strengthen the life of the Church and help us all feel the movement of the Holy Spirit.
As we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit in such a powerful way on Pentecost, I want to take a minute to thank those who help us to feel the movement of the Spirit through their ministries.
Some of these are obvious, of course, such as priests who bring us the living water of God’s grace through the Sacraments.
But many go unseen and unheralded, yet they do so much to help us know and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Recently I read about the ways that we know the Holy Spirit in the Catechism, which explains how self-effacing is the Holy Spirit:
“No one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” Now God’s Spirit, who reveals God, makes known to us Christ, his Word, his living Utterance, but the Spirit does not speak of himself. The Spirit who “has spoken through the …More

Again: Unforgiving Francis Wants to "Forgive Everything" - Without Conversion
In a meeting with 800 priests and religious in the Basilica of San Zeno during his visit to Verona on 18 May, Francis once again promoted formalism by calling for cheap absolution after an empty confession. …More
He overlooked the fact that confession has virtually died out after Vatican II precisely because of such formalism.
"Confession should not be a torture," he said, as if anyone had ever claimed it was. Then Francis, who is known to be vindictive and unforgiving, added: "Please forgive everything" and "forgive without making them suffer" - something Francis himself has never done since he has been running the Vatican.
If the priest doesn't understand what the penitent is saying, he should go on, because "the Lord understands", Francis said, revealing a magical understanding of confession.
Francis recalled a cardinal, a confessor [Cardinal Luis Pasqual Dri OFMcap, 96], who, when someone "had difficulty saying things", would tell the penitent: "Go on. I didn't understand, but God understood …More

Wife: Married Spanish Bishop "Still a Bishop" - Was "Conservative" Only in Words
Married Spanish Ex-Bishop Xavier Novell "is not so orthodox or conservative" as he seemed, his wife Silvia Caballol told Antena3.com. She is an author of pornographic literature. “It's one thing to …More
She is an author of pornographic literature. “It's one thing to preach and quite another to live it”, she explained.
According to her, Novell is not against homosexual sins and both have "many" homosexual and transvestite friends. Caballol believes that the Church has made "a lot of progress" [= regress] on these issues, "because now they give their [pseudo] blessing," Caballol says.
She does not deny that Novell himself attended sessions of a homosexual healing therapy. Infovaticana.com (May 18) adds that this rumor is widespread.
Interesting: Caballol claims and Infovaticana.com confirms, that only the "direct and express intervention" of Francis led to the wedding and that the required procedures (laization) were skipped.
Caballol adds that Novell is still “in limbo” because “he is still a bishop although he is no longer a bishop.” The “Church hierarchy …More

Hollerich Contradicts Ratzinger: Women Priest Can Come “With Time”
Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich believes that Francis will not introduce [invalidly] ordained priestesses. Simultaneously, he referred to one of the Dubia of five cardinals which asked about …More
Simultaneously, he referred to one of the Dubia of five cardinals which asked about John Paul II’s teaching in Ordinatio Sacerdotalis that women cannot be priests. According to Jean-Claude Hollerich, “Francis responded very wisely: It is binding, but not forever” (Kath.ch, 17 May).
In other words: Ordinatio Sacerdotalis means nothing and can be changed at any time. Hollerich confirms this interpretation: “It is not an infallible doctrinal decision. It can be changed. It needs arguments and time.”
John Paul II defines in Ordinatio Sacerdotalis that “the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women.” What was true then, must also be true now. In October 1995, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger confirmed that Ordinatio Sacerdotalis is “infallible” and “is to be held always, everywhere, and by all, as belonging to the deposit of the faith”.
Since both …More

Francis: "Homosexual Couples Cannot Be Blessed" (sic)
In a second short clip (below) released by '60 Minutes' (in addition to the one on 'conservative' bishops), Francis commented on his homosexual propaganda text 'Fiducia Supplicans'. "What I have …More
"What I have allowed is not to bless [a homosexual] union. I cannot do that because it is not a sacrament. I cannot do it. The Lord has made it so. But to bless every person, yes. The blessing is for everyone. For everyone. To bless homosexuals is against the law, against the law of the Church, but to bless every person, why not? The blessing is for everyone. Some people were scandalised by this. But why? For everyone, for everyone".
Francis' dishonesty is even more dislikable than his being unbelieving, rude, ambiguous, divisive, tyrannical, and hypocritical, etc. He knows full well that the text of 'Fiducia Supplicans' is not about blessing a single person, but about 'blessing irregular couples [= unrepentant mortal sinners]'. Couples are defined by their union.

Unfortunate Norms: Vatican Cannot Find Anything "Supernatural" Anymore
On 17 May, Tucho Fernández published guidelines on alleged supernatural phenomena entitled "Norms for proceeding in the discernment of alleged supernatural phenomena." The main change: Neither the …More
The main change: Neither the local bishop nor the Vatican will declare that phenomena are of supernatural origin, but the Vatican can authorise the local bishop to declare that a phenomenon is "not supernatural".
There is no provision in these norms for ecclesiastical superiors to give positive recognition to the divine origin of alleged supernatural phenomena, the regulations state.
The second major change is the centralisation of the process, since Francis is the pope of Roman centralism. The local bishop's decisions must be given approval by the Vatican.
The document refers to cases in the 20th century where the local bishop declared a phenomenon to be supernatural, and the Vatican later issued a decision to the contrary. In other cases, a bishop said one thing and his successor said the opposite about the same phenomenon. …More
