Cardinal Müller Criticizes German Bishops' Protestant View on Priesthood

On June 25, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller commented on the Vatican's rejection of the German bishops' proposal to allow lay preaching during the Eucharist. Key excerpts:
- "One must not separate the Liturgy of the Word from the Eucharistic liturgy by having a layperson preach the first part and an ordained priest celebrate the second."
- "Luther already condemned this as an abuse, accusing priests and bishops of no longer being servants of the Word but mere ritualists."
- "The Council of Trent taught that sacramentally ordained priests were instituted by Christ as ministers of both the Word and the Sacraments."
- "One cannot arbitrarily divide priestly ministry and outsource parts of it without effectively denying the sacramental priesthood in a Protestant sense."
- "Ironically, those who most eagerly invoke Vatican II contradict it on the question of lay preaching during Mass."
- "Germany's perpetual protesters should study the foundations of Catholic theology instead of driving the …Dugang pa

All these impostors masquerading as priests—following the apostate gay activists Bergoglio, Prevost, Tucho, James Martin, and other members of the gay mafia—believe themselves superior to God; they think that by defying God's law and disobeying Catholic morality, they can change it. Poor wretches: they merely seal their own apostasy and drag others along with them to eternal perdition.

Leo XIV Appoints German Bishop: "If Women’s Ordination Comes, Why Not?"

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.

Nigeria: At Least 20 Killed in Fresh Attack

At least 20 Christians were killed in an overnight attack on the village of Kawel in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, central Nigeria, police said Monday. Among the victims were a doctor and five patients.
Police said heavily armed attackers opened fire on residents before setting homes ablaze.
Security forces responded and exchanged gunfire with the assailants, who fled the area. No arrests have been made. Local officials and witnesses identified the attackers as armed Fulani Muslim herders.
The latest attack is part of a series of deadly assaults that have plagued Plateau State in recent years. Several Christian advocacy organizations have argued that the repeated violence in Nigeria's Middle Belt disproportionately affects Christian communities and have called on the Nigerian government to provide greater protection.

St Catherine of Siena vs St Vincent Ferrer—When ‘Obedience’ Produces a Pincer

Il Giovane
February 24, 2026
[…]
There are numerous examples we could present today that would make some of our current opinions on the matter inside the Catholic Church, let’s say, awkward. So do not assume the following is an outlier or even an exception to the pattern. This is what Christ taught would happen, going all the way back, by example, to the very choosing of his apostles.
St Catherine of Siena (1347–80), who is known for never hesitating to rebuke high-ranking clergymen and even the pope, threw her delicate but fiery weight behind Pope Urban VI. Seemingly contrary to her John the Baptist spirit, she once whispered: “Always obey the pastor of the Church, for he is the guide whom Christ has appointed to lead souls to Him.”
Such a quote from one of Catholicism’s greatest models—ignoring her numerous rebukes—undoubtedly provides the finishing touch for one tribe of Catholics in the current argument trending this week. See? the quote seems to say. Obey. Case closed. The …Dugang pa

FSSPX Addresses Rome Again: "One Day Honest Discussion with Holy See"

The superiors of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X published today another Open Letter to Leo XIV and to the Cardinals. The letter is no call to action nor a negotiating proposal but rather another public reaffirmation of the Fraternity's long-standing position. Attached is a 28-page document (English below) with the Catholic faith. This document repeatedly affirms strong papal authority adding that the pope possesses "supreme, full, immediate, and universal jurisdiction". The letter.
Most Holy Father,
Most Reverend Eminences,
On the eve of the Consistory at the end of this month, and just days before the episcopal consecrations scheduled for 1 July in Écône, it seems to us that the time has come for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X to make a full profession of Catholic Faith, which we wish to place in the hands of Your Holiness and each one of the Cardinals.

Aldo Maria Valli writes he wanted to believe Leo XIV would turn things around, but now admits it's not going to happen. On the contrary, it's getting worse

"Leo XIV Continues Francis' Program, Empowers Hardened Synodalists"

After the election of Leo XIV, Aldo Maria Valli wanted to believe in the new pope and in the possibility of a change of direction, he admitted on his blog on June 25. Valli was the longtime Vatican correspondent for Italy’s public broadcaster, RAI.
But: “The cold shower (or rather, a whole series of cold showers) quickly woke me from that dream in the form of statements fully in line with the Bergoglian disaster and a succession of ‘peace & love’ initiatives, marked by a shallow humanitarianism completely devoid of references to transcendence, sin, conversion, and the salvation of the soul.”
On the consistory on Friday and Saturday, he writes: “Under Leo XIV, the Church is not merely avoiding any reversal of course; it is enthusiastically reaffirming the synodal model, transforming it into a permanent method of ecclesial governance.”
Valli points to the names of the cardinals (Ryś, Fernández, Brislin, and Grech) chosen to lead the principal sessions. It is, he says, a gathering of …Dugang pa

Report: Consistory Agenda Changed Because of FSSPX Consecrations

The proximity of the consistory (Friday and Saturday) to the FSSPX consecrations (Wednesday) has allegedly prompted Leo XIV to remove the liturgy from the consistory's agenda. This information was published by Nico Spuntoni on IlGiornale.it, who cited an anonymous cardinal as his source. Although "synodality" was already discussed in January, it has returned to the agenda.
Spuntoni adds three more pieces of information.
- Notable absences at the consistory due to ill health include conservative Cardinals Joseph Zen (Hong Kong), Péter Erdő (Budapest), and Willem Eijk (Utrecht).
- There is unease among the professed members and religious sisters of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X, who do not wish to risk incurring a possible excommunication.
- The consistory's agenda has not generally generated enthusiasm among cardinals. Some also dislike the Synod Secretariat's method of working in small groups.

Leo XIV Appoints Indian Bishop: "No Opposition to Yoga"

On June 24, Leo XIV has appointed Rev. Anand David Xalxo, 50, Vicar General and Rector of St. Mary's Cathedral in Ranchi, as Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Ranchi, India.
The Archdiocese of Ranchi comprises about 180k Catholics, 35 parishes, more than 300 priests and over 1,000 religious sisters.
Born in Mandar on 20 November 1975, Monsignor Xalxo was ordained a priest in 2006.
Over the past two decades he has served in a variety of pastoral and administrative roles.
On July 5, 2019, Rev. Xalxo spoke with UcaNews.com about the Eastern meditation method yoga. He said that most Catholic schools in the Archdiocese practice yoga daily “to build up positive energy, good health, and mental stability.”
“There is no opposition to yoga in our schools. There are instances of our priests and nuns practicing it and teaching others,” he said.
Cardinal Ratzinger wrote in 1989 that Eastern methods including yoga are "not free from dangers and errors" harmful to Catholic spirituality.

Santa Maria delle Grazie (Our Lady of Grace) parish in the small Italian town of Casalba has found itself in the media spotlight after a statue of St. Padre Pio appeared to show a tear of blood trickling down its face.
The discovery was made in April, when a parishioner noticed an unusual detail on the face of the saint from Pietrelcina: A reddish tear, resembling blood, appeared to be falling from its left eye.
The news quickly reached the parish priest, Father Girolamo Capuano, who went to the church to verify what had happened and attempt, without success, to clean off the stain. The statue of Padre Pio, which has stood at the entrance of this Italian church for two decades, has been removed for examination in order to determine the origin of the phenomenon.
Speaking to Mediaset Italia’s program Mattino Cinque, Capuano urged prudence and emphasized that bringing the matter to public attention to clarify the facts “does not stem …Dugang pa

Bishop of Northampton Charged with Two Counts of Rape

Bishop David Oakley, 70, of Northampton, England, has been charged with two counts of rape involving a girl under the age of 16, according to Staffordshire Police. He was ordained a bishop on March 19, 2020 (pictured).
The charges come after his arrest in September 2025, following the reporting of an allegation to police.
Monsignor Oakley is scheduled to appear before Cannock Magistrates' Court on August 14.
In a statement, the Diocese of Northampton confirmed that the charges stem from an investigation into what it described as "non-recent safeguarding allegations."
"We understand that this will be very distressing for all concerned but cannot comment further on an active legal process," the diocese said.
There has been no public statement from Bishop Oakley admitting or denying the charges. He is presumed innocent.

Well…it wasn’t a North African or a Muslim this time.

Universal acceptance argument does not withstand the test of history.

St. Catherine of Siena is frequently quoted in her love of the pope of her day (as well she should be.) However, she is less frequently quoted in what she had to say about the antipope of her day. There have been 20-40 antipopes in history, so a discussion on this topic is not “anti-Catholic,” or “schismatic,” as the following account of St. Catherine clearly demonstrates.
[…]
In 1378, after the election of Pope Urban VI, the majority of Cardinals, Prelates and the people recognized Clement VIl as pope, even though he was in reality an antipope. Thirteen out of sixteen cardinals questioned the validity of the election of Pope Urban due to the threat of violence from the Roman people against the Sacred College, and even Urban’s few supporters immediately retracted their election, summoning a new Conclave at Fondi which elected the antipope Clement VIl. Even Saint Vincent Ferrer was convinced that Clement was the real pope, while Saint Catherine of Siena sided with Urban. If universal …Dugang pa
