Canonist Gerald V. McDevitt explains the concept of 'tacit resignation of office' showing there is a lower bar for 'public defection from the faith' and accompanying renunciation than some claim. Sep 13, 2024 Editor’s Notes Bishop Gerald Vincent McDevitt studied at the Pontifical Roman Seminary in Rome, and was ordained in 1942. Following ordination, he completed his doctorate in Canon Law in 1945. What follows in this article is an extract from his doctoral dissertation The Renunciation of an Ecclesiastical Office, published here with the kind permission of The Catholic University of America Press.

In 1952, McDevitt’s star began to rise, and he was appointed secretary at the Washington DC Apostolic Delegation. In 1962, John XXIII appointed him auxiliary bishop of the …More

On 19 July, from Menzingen, Switzerland, Fr Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), issued another pastoral letter published on LaPorteLatine.org justifying the illicit consecration of bishops against the will of Pope Leo XIV. Key phrases (full letter below). - "Until the very last day, I hoped for a gesture of goodwill—or at least of simple understanding—from the Holy See." - "This condemnation, wholly unjust, represents an immense humiliation for people whose only desire is to defend the true Faith and to labor for the salvation of souls." - " I want you to understand that this profound humiliation, which first affects the members of the Society, has a meaning in the eyes of God that must not escape you." - "The sanctions are also intended to strike you in a rather cruel way." - "If, in order to ensure for it the teaching of the true Faith and the administration of the true sacraments, it is necessary to pay the price of such humiliation …More
I disagree vehemently with the Superior General. The false, invalid condemnation is NOT a humiliation. No, not at all. For the FSSX Faithful it should be a badge of high and holy honor.
To celebrate the 1,250th anniversary of the Westphalian State in Germany, a performance was staged inside Paderborn Cathedral last year.

Who “rebelled” against the Vicar of Christ? Or “speaks openly and publicly” against the Holy Father? You must be thinking of gay couples-blessing Jim Martin or porn-writing Kissy.
27K views · 1.2K reactions | Beet kraut is an excellent first ferment to make at home. Beetroot brings natural sweetness and earthy flavour, and cabbage is a classic starting point for fermentation. To make it, finely shred cabbage and grate or julienne raw beetroot. Weigh everything, then add 2% salt by weight (20g of salt for every 1kg of vegetables). Massage the vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes until they release plenty of liquid. Pack them tightly into a clean jar, pressing firmly to remove air pockets and ensuring the vegetables stay completely submerged beneath their own brine. If needed, use a fermentation weight or a small clean jar to keep them below the surface. Leave it to ferment at room temperature for around 7 to 14 days, depending on how warm your kitchen is and how tangy you like it. Once you’re happy with the flavour, move it to the fridge, where it will continue to develop slowly over the following weeks. By the end, you’ll have a colourful kraut that’s delicious alongside …More

A miracle in a photograph !! Take a good look at this miraculous photo, it was taken in 1932, during one of the first Masses of a young German priest. Here is the testimony of the old Priest Franz Keiser, German. “This image is not a painting but a real photo. It is a grace that was given to a German priest, on the third day after his priestly ordination, on August 29, 1932. Neither the priest who celebrated, nor the brother who served the Mass, nor his brother who took the photo saw what this shows in the most wonderful way. I know the priest who was given this grace and also the most precise circumstances and responded for its accuracy, as well as for the authenticity of the event.” This image shows in plain sight what happens at each Mass, the renewal of the Sacrifice of the Cross. For it is attested of him, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 7:17

A 150-year-old deconsecrated Catholic church in Sydney's CBD briefly reopened as an LGBTQIA+ nightclub and performance space called Divine Playhouse. Just days after its opening, the venue was forced to cancel all events and face eviction following massive public protests and landlord intervention over perceived religious mockery. The Building's Heritage Original Purpose: Built in 1868, the Victorian Gothic structure located on 408 Kent Street was originally established as St John's Catholic Church. Prior Use: It was deconsecrated in 1932, served as the long-time home of the famed Genesian Theatre, and even fostered the early career of director Baz Luhrmann. The Nightclub & Backlash The Concept: Nightlife organizer Kat Dopper reimagined the space as an inclusive, boundary-pushing creative arts space hosting cabarets, gospel choir-backed karaoke, and experimental art events. The Controversy: Christians and Catholic groups—such as The Prodigal Sons—were outraged by promotional materials …More
1) Revelation 2:14; But I have this against you: you tolerate some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. a) They made the faithful bow their heads to the ground to worship the goddess Pachamama. b) They neither preach to nor baptize Muslims. Instead, they promote the worship of Baal in the Vatican, allowing Muslims to practice their religion there. The public flattering of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV toward Muslims is common knowledge, even as Muslims are killing Christians around the world and they say nothing. c) Mark 15–16; Jesus said: “Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned”. d) Instead of evangelizing as Jesus commanded, they encourage Catholics to discover a pagan god in Islam, leading them to worship Baal—the …More
IS AI WOKE? The Washington Post just tested 6 major AI chatbots on the same political questions and the results are worth seeing. They used 25+ political prompts designed by researchers at Dartmouth and Stanford, capped at 30 words to force the models to take positions instead of hedging. A reporter scored whether each answer was left-leaning, right-leaning, or presented both sides. 1. GPT-5.5 (ChatGPT) — 80% left-leaning, 3% right-leaning. Most one-sided model tested. Answered nearly every question with only left-leaning arguments. 2. DeepSeek — 70% left-leaning, 7% right-leaning. 3. Claude — 43% left-leaning, 57% balanced, zero exclusively right-leaning answers. Second most balanced after Gemini. 4. Grok — 40% left-leaning, 33% right-leaning, 27% balanced. Most right-leaning of the group but still skewed left overall. 5. Gemini — both-sides answers in roughly 93% of cases. Most neutral by far. Even presented both sides on whether the US should use its military to conquer territories …More
