Catholics may not knowingly take part in the liturgical celebrations, apostolates, or other activities of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Archbishop Shawn McKnight of Kansas City, Kansas, wrote in a July 2 statement following the episcopal consecrations. McKnight noted that the SSPX's ministry "is not legitimate in the life of the Church" and that "the sacraments of Penance and Matrimony administered by them are now invalid." Participation in the worship of the "schismatic" community fosters separation from the Church's communion, he added: "Such participation is not merely discouraged but is gravely contrary to the unity of the Church and, when undertaken with full knowledge and deliberate consent, is sinful." #newsAetnoekkoi

Cardinal López Romero Steps Back Amid Investigation: Spanish-born Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, Archbishop of Rabat, has stepped back from public ministry after five adult women filed complaints against him. The Vatican has opened a preliminary investigation, while the cardinal denies all allegations. The women accuse López Romero of unwanted physical contact, including prolonged hugs, attempted kisses, and other conduct they describe as sexually inappropriate.
At least five women have accused Cristobal Cardinal Lopez Romero, the Spanish-born Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco, of sexual violence, prompting the Vatican to open a formal investigation into the Pope Francis appointed Cardinal.
The episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in Écône on July 1 have revived an old question: how many Catholics are attached to the FSSPX? The answer is surprisingly elusive. Depending on the source, estimates range from around 100,000 to as many as 600,000 faithful worldwide. The FSSPX itself continues to publish the figure of 600,000 faithful. However, the number of 600,000 comes from a speech delivered in 2007 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. Speaking to the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, he stated that the "Lefebvrian group" consisted of four bishops, 500 priests and 600,000 faithful. The number is difficult to reconcile with the FSSPX’s infrastructure. The FSSPX has approximately 730 priests, about 180 priories and houses, and 750 chapels and Mass centres. Many of these chapels are small mission stations where Mass is celebrated only once or twice a month with few faithful. In 2019, Fr Pascal …Magis
I know in my Church it's packed during the three Masses held in the morning. And then there is one at night. Usually about half full. You will see people standing during the day. There is a nursing room also with mothers and small children as well as in the Vestibule. And also sometimes in a side room. It holds about 1,000 people or so I believe. We have 7 SSPX Church's in Florida. I would say, and would like to believe that there is at least 600,000 SSPX supporters and attendees.

Novus Ordo with Flatbread while Sitting on the Floor: On July 1, two priests of the Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt, Austria, celebrated their 30th anniversary of ordination at the Europagymnasium in Klagenfurt.

The paradox being that in Austria (as well as in Germany) the Church as an institution receives way too much money. This is an exciting novelty for them to play at being poor, complete with a kiddy stole.
U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch has described an informal Independence Day dinner he hosted for Pope Leo XIV at his residence in Rome. Speaking with Italian media, Burch said the pope arrived at 7:30 p.m. on July 4, prayed with the ambassador's family, and shared a meal featuring American charcuterie, watermelon salad, Chicago-style hot dogs, apple pie, and gelato. Burch said Leo XIV approved of the menu. The pope arrived without aides or secretaries, accompanied only by two Vatican gendarmes. Burch said he invited Leo XIV to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States by hosting the first U.S.-born pope. The invitation was sent about two months before the dinner, and confirmation came about a month later. The ambassador also said Leo XIV still carries a Peruvian credit card, uses a cellphone, follows the Chicago White Sox, and sometimes wakes during the night to check soccer scores. The dinner took place the same day Leo XIV visited Lampedusa. Burch said the pope rejected …Magis
On July 6, Cardinal Müller spoke with K-TV about the Traditional Latin Mass and the FSSPX episcopal consecrations. Key statements: - "The implementation of the liturgical reform was marked by many abuses because many failed to grasp the spirit of the renewed liturgy and neglected its essential elements: the worship of God, the communication of salvation, and reverence before God." - "The so-called old rite is not forbidden. Rather, it is permitted to a certain extent and under certain conditions, and it is, of course, valid." - "Pope Benedict XVI made the wise decision that the same Latin liturgy could be celebrated in both its ordinary and extraordinary forms." - "The faithful always have the opportunity to attend the Holy Mass celebrated according to the older form." - "Many people may have sympathies for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X because they believe that the Catholic faith and the liturgy are being preserved there against many of the abuses found in modernist circles.…Magis

Worse than Germany: Archbishop Erio Castellucci of Modena-Nonantola has proposed a form of liturgical "co-presidency" in which women would lead the Liturgy of the Word while priests would preside over the Eucharistic consecration. The proposal appears in a speech published on May 24 in the diocesan bulletin, delivered at a conference organized by the Centro Italiano Femminile in Carpi. Monsignor Castellucci is the vice President of the Italian bishops and President of the National Committee for the Italian Synod. He suggested that women could take responsibility for the first part of the Eucharist, proclaiming the Resurrection "as Mary Magdalene did to the apostles." This would sidestep "the impasse" over women's ordination while still respecting Church teaching that only a priest can consecrate. Archbishop Castellucci also called for expanding shared governance in the Church, proposing that consultative councils' recommendations be made binding after a process of "consensus-building,"…Magis

Turin Parish Holds Funeral for Muslim. Worse than Germany: On 3 July, the body of an Iranian Muslim was brought to Sant'Anna parish in Turin for a ceremony led by the parish priest, Don Valter Danna. The service included Christian prayers and the use of incense. Don Danna said it was not a Catholic funeral but rather a "prayer of farewell," explaining that the family had close ties to the parish. He confirmed that the ceremony was intentionally distinguished from a Catholic funeral.
"Diciamo che si è persa la capacità di costruire un bel luogo dove ritrovarsi. La freddezza della struttura in cemento armato, l'assenza completa di qualcosa che assomigli ad un segno di vita nel luogo è tipico dei luoghi Religiosi; come privato della Sua parte migliore il luogo rende opprimente la sosta e forte la voglia di correre via.

CATHOLIC DOCTRINE TEACHES: CCC 1184 "Ecclesiastical funeral rites are to be denied, unless the deceased gave some signs of repentance before death: 1. to notorious apostates, heretics, or schismatics; 2. to those who requested the cremation of their bodies for reasons contrary to the Christian faith; 3. to other manifest sinners, to whom ecclesiastical funeral rites cannot be granted without public scandal to the faithful." Can. 1185 Any funeral Mass must also be denied to a person excluded from ecclesiastical funeral rites.
