“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. #newsElkpdlivvj
Austrian Archbishop hails Amoris Laetitia as “groundbreaking” guide to Church mercy. Archbishop Franz Lackner of Salzburg, president of the Austrian Bishops’ Conference, praised Pope Francis’ 2016 exhortation Amoris laetitia on October 6 as a guide to “authentic mercy.” He urged the Church to “accompany” people in “all life situations.” Amoris laetitia was basically about sacrilegious Communion for adulterers.

‘The Catholic Church - the Teacher of Mankind’ ~ Imprimatur, 1905 ~ ‘The Teachings of the Saints In Their Own Words’ ~ By a Parish Priest; Love of God; part II; pages 7-8 Love of God To love God! oh, how beautiful it is! We must be in Heaven to comprehend love. Prayer helps us a little, because prayer is the elevation of the soul to Heaven. The more we know men, the less we love them. It is the reverse with God; the more we know of Him the more we love Him. This knowledge inflames the soul with such a love that it can no longer love or desire anything but God ... Man was created by love; therefore he is disposed to love. On the other hand, he is so great that nothing on earth can satisfy him. He can be satisfied only when he turns to God. Take a fish out of water, and it will not live ...Well, such is man without God. -------- St. Cure d'Ars One day, while conversing with St. Bonaventure, Blessed Giles said to him: "My Father, God has shown you great mercy, and loaded you with many graces …ተወሳኺ
"O my sweet Love, who shall prevent me from loving Thee? Shall it be my body? Rather will I reduce it to dust. Shall it be my past sins? I will immerse them in the sea of Thy Blood, and after that, behold my body and soul, make me suffer whatever it may please Thee in order to annihilate them in such a manner that they may be no obstacle to my loving Thee. -------- St. John Eudes"
Concubinages may contain “authentic love” - Leo XIV-appointed Bishop at the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. At the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Bishop Stephen Fernandes, 65, spoke on October 9 about accompanying unmarried couples. Leo XIV had apointed him as auxiliary bishop of Bombay, India, in October 2025. Discussing differences between countries, Bishop Fernandes said: “The Gospel remains one, but pastoral pathways cannot be identical everywhere.” Addressing cohabitation, he said that “we should resist both indifference and condemnation.” He proposed asking: “What is already good in their relationship? Where can we discern signs of generosity, fidelity, responsibility and grace?” Fernandes also questioned whether moving such couples toward marriage should be the sole objective: “The question is not simply: How can we move this couple towards a wedding? It is also: Are these two people truly called to marriage, and are they ready to enter into a lifelong marital …ተወሳኺ
There is a legitimacy to this man's point. Yes, every instance of extra-marital "relations" is always a mortal sin, but some people just aren't going to respond appropriately to the "You're going to Hell" admonition. There is value in working with people to see what is good in their life and building upon that, in the hope that they will make their lives right before God, rather than just going in with a wrecking ball. There might even be a word for that...maybe..."compassion"?
So anti-TLM Viola gets St Peter’s (not encouraging)
Leo XIV appoints enemy of Roman Mass, Archbishop Viola, as archpriest of St. Peter’s – “More to the left than Andrea Grillo”, wears Bugnini’s ring. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, 61, O.F.M., as Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City, and President of the Fabric of St. Peter. He succeeds Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. Monsignor Viola will likely be created a cardinal, as every listed Archpriest of St. Peter’s for hundreds of years has been a cardinal. In 2021, when he was Bishop of Tortona, Francis appointed him Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. Viola’s career was strongly supported by Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino, who served as Prelate of Pompeii, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship, and later Bishop of Assisi. In Assisi, he worked closely with Viola, who was active in Franciscan, liturgical, and charitable work. Archbishop Viola is part of the circle inspired by Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the architect …ተወሳኺ
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 …ተወሳኺ

Why Modern Marriage Crumbles Beneath the Rebellion of Decades of Lawlessness You sit in your houses, weeping over the wreckage of your broken vows, pointing your soft, therapeutic fingers at "poor communication" and "unmet emotional needs." You treat marriage like a marketplace for mutual self-admiration, a perpetual indulgence of the passions, and a playground for unrestrained desire. Repent. You are looking at the smoke while ignoring the fire. What you call a "modern marriage" is no marriage at all. It is nothing more than a glorified shack-up between two so-called equals—the terrible, rotten fruit of the 1960s sexual revolution, which tore down the moral fences of Christendom and baptized lawlessness as liberty. If you stripped away the cowardice of this age and listened to the unyielding voice of the ancient Fathers—confirmed and systematically sealed by the angelic doctor Thomas Aquinas—you would see why your dwellings are falling into the dust. You have committed a double rebellion …ተወሳኺ

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, Co-Director of March for Life UK, has pleaded not guilty to five charges under Britain's abortion buffer-zone law. During an October hearing, Judge Tan Ikram declared: “Standing is not a crime” and “Courts are not here to pass judgment on people’s views.” Her lawyers argue that prosecuting her for silent prayer violates fundamental freedoms of thought and religion. The prosecution amounts to an “abuse of process”. The judge is expected to decide in November whether the case proceeds. A trial is scheduled for 25–29 January 2027. Vaughan-Spruce previously received £13,000 in a police settlement following wrongful arrests over similar incidents. #newsIztajpnggp
Cardinal betrays natural family at Amoris Laetitia summit - LifeSite Cdl. Neri Ferrão told the Amoris Laetitia summit the Church must adapt its ‘understanding’ of family life to recognize a ‘mosaic of diverse realities’ rather than insist on an ‘ideal’ model. CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A senior Indian cardinal urged the Catholic Church to rethink its approach to family life, arguing that it must accommodate “new forms of partnership and cohabitation,” interfaith unions, and changing ideas about gender rather than insist on an “ideal family” model.
