Portuguese missionary priest Fr. João Silveira is bringing the traditional Latin Mass to some of the world’s most unexpected places - even into seminaries. Fr. Silveira travels the world to celebrate the Mass. He gave a glimpse into his travels during his address at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 4. He belongs to the Missionaries of the Holy Cross, based in Puma, Tanzania. Belize Fr Silveira’s most extensive mission was in Belize. At two Catholic schools, administrators asked him to celebrate the Latin Mass. At Bishop Martin’s College, approximately 350 students attended, roughly half of them Protestants. At Muffles College High School, Silveira celebrated before some 750 students, again roughly half Catholic and half Protestant. Nearly 300 received Communion. He also found a remote Catholic community that had begun meeting to pray the Rosary in Latin. Their coordinator had discovered the traditional Latin Mass on the internet and become interested in it. “This …Mususu
Gloria.tv and its followers do not want Rome to permit the celebration of the Roman Rite without restrictions. Gloria.tv and its followers want ONLY that rite to be celebrated and for the Novus Ordo to be banned—something they know will not happen.
In the traditional Latin Mass, the sacrificial character is “very strongly visible,” Eduard Habsburg said at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 3. He spent 54 years in the Novus Ordo before discovering the Latin Mass, which “gives you space to sink into prayer and to contemplate and to meditate.” He also contrasted the two forms of the Mass: In the Latin Mass, “the sacrifice is very strongly visible.” But “in today’s Mass it is present but not as much in the forefront as in the Latin Mass.”
Eduard Habsburg, former Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See: “If you follow the Traditional Latin Mass every day, you will notice that the reality of sacrifice, dying for the sins of others, giving your blood for the others — just the sacrifice is very strongly visible.”
Unfortunately, the credibility of this conference was undercut by the way it attempted to delete one of its featured speakers simply for criticizing the Novus Ordo. The message this sends is troubling: you can have your traditional Catholic practices and traditions, so long as you ignore—or at least tolerate—the coexistence of an ever-evolving rite that, in important respects, contradicts what those traditions affirm. At that point, Catholics are effectively being asked to treat their rite as nothing more than a hat they put on occasionally, rather than as an integral expression of their Catholic faith and identity.

Bishop Mutsaerts: “Ecclesiastical appointments can be foolish.” Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts answered the uncomfortable question “How about Rome?” at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 3. “Rome needs reform sometimes too,” he said. “The Curia is not the Mystical Body of Christ, Vatican diplomacy is not divine revelation, and the dicastery is not protected by the charism of infallibility in every decision. Ecclesiastical appointments can be foolish and bishops can be cowardly and pastoral strategies can fail.” And: “Catholic loyalty therefore does not require pretending that every decision made in Rome is wise.” Turning to synodality, Mutsaerts invoked the collapse of Dutch Catholicism: “I’m Dutch and we started this nonsense in the ’60s already.” His verdict: “Show me the fruits. There aren’t any.”

Alan Watson @DietHeartNews In its existential drive to destabilize Russia and steal her vast resources, the West is revising Nazism, which they believe is needed to complete the task. Hence, having a Nazi ancestor is no longer a negative in the West as Nazi descendants are placed in leadership positions.
Bishop Donald Lippert, missionary Bishop of Mendi in Papua New Guinea, warns that the missionary crisis has now come home: “The West is missionary territory again.” And, more provocatively: “The Church is missionary territory again.” Bishop warns the Church to substitute dialogue and social work for evangelization: “Presence without proclamation eventually becomes humanitarianism or NGOism.”
Missionary Bishop at the CIC 2026: The West is missionary territory. More precise: The Church is missionary territory.
No, but to Gloria.tv and its followers, this bishop is a heretic because he does not say or do what they would like him to. It makes no difference that he is open to tradition, or that he possesses faith and is an exemplary bishop; to Gloria.tv and its chorus of supporters, he is nothing but a modernist and a wolf.
"It would serve the Pope very well if he laid out in just plain simple terms, yes or no: am I going to continue Pope Francis’s restrictive policies or am I going to return to what Pope Benedict and John Paul II before him did, and to give the reasons for it?", said New York priest Fr. Gerald Murray on October 2 about Leo XIV’s course on the traditional Latin Mass. The canon lawyer was also commenting on a proposal by a Vatican synodal commission to completely revise Canon Law. Murray argues that governance is a gift given by Christ to the apostles and passed to the bishops. Regarding the extension of governance to the laity, he issues a warning: "We’re heading towards Episcopalianism, where lay people actually exercise a governing role in the Anglican Church."
Leo XIV should disclose - yes or no - if he is following Francis' way or not.
Consistent proof that in the Church, as in the secular world, those who make sense (following Church teaching) and who should lead are rarely promoted. God's ways are not man's ways. Well said, Father Murray.
Leo XIV promoted Cardinal: “The entire Tradition of the Church must be read in the light of the teaching of the Council." The traditional spirituality had been built around the image of Christ the King, whereas the Second Vatican Council pointed toward building a spirituality around Christ the Servant, Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Kraków said on October 3, according to gosc.pl. He is a pro-homosexual prelate and was promoted by Pope Leo XIV from Łódź to Kraków in November 2025. Cardinal Ryś said: “The entire Tradition of the Church must be read in the light of the teaching of the Council. Then we are in the Church. What worries me greatly is the rejection of the Council - today there is no shortage of attitudes that blame the Council for everything.” He added: “The Council was not a departure from Tradition. It was a return to that current within Tradition which is the oldest and which sets the standard.” Asked whether “the open, progressive Church does not make the symmetrical error of …Mususu

What We Learned About American Teenagers Supplying Guns to Cartels nytimes.com/…rld/americas/american-teenage-gun-tr… Our reporting revealed how Mexican criminal groups are relying on teenagers and young adults in border states like Arizona to help supply their weapons. By Paulina Villegas Reporting from Phoenix Oct. 3, 2026 Leer en español Earlier this year, I was in Phoenix watching three teenagers shoot high-caliber rifles into the desert. Each shot cracked through the air and echoed across the open expanse. These teenagers are part of a network of American high school students and young adults who serve as key conduits in transnational gun trafficking, buying military-style rifles and selling them directly to Mexican cartel operatives. According to law enforcement officials, trafficking experts and the American high schoolers I interviewed, the emerging network relies on American youths who are motivated not by cartel loyalty, but by profits and social status. The gun trade is often …Mususu
