An anonymous seminarian writing from Lima, Peru, paints a picture of Catholic life that is worse than Germany: seminaries and convents “dramatically empty,” kneelers removed from churches, Communion distributed in the hands, children’s Masses with puppets and dolls, and national Catholic youth gatherings with secular music. He describes priests becoming “community entertainers” and homilies reduced to superficial, lukewarm messages. He criticizes liturgies centered on creativity, community and local culture rather than the sacrifice and adoration. In his account, doctrine is no longer treated as fixed, but as continually open to reinterpretation.
¿EN QUÉ MOMENTO SE JODIÓ LA IGLESIA? Un joven seminarista, que pide permanecer en el anonimato por temor a represalias, comparte un testimonio doloroso sobre la realidad que contempla dentro de la Iglesia: seminarios vacíos, liturgias desacralizadas, homilías superficiales, pérdida del sentido de lo sagrado y una identidad católica cada vez más diluida. No es simplemente el lamento de un joven. Es el grito de quien entregó su vida a Cristo y no quiere encontrar una Iglesia que haya olvidado quién es su Señor. Cuando la Eucaristía deja de ocupar el centro, cuando el altar pierde su carácter sagrado, cuando la liturgia se convierte en espectáculo y cuando todo parece susceptible de ser reinterpretado, la pregunta resulta inevitable: ¿Qué hemos hecho con la Iglesia que recibimos? El artículo de La Abeja plantea una reflexión que ningún católico que ame verdaderamente a la Iglesia debería ignorar. Y, a pesar de todo, queda la esperanza: necesitamos sacerdotes santos, fieles a Cristo, a la …Caman
The boat strikes have failed to reduce the amount of cocaine entering the United States and have instead prompted cartels to adapt their tactics in ways that undermine traditional investigative methods, the Washington Post reported in July, citing an internal assessment by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Leo XIV has named the homosexual activist Michael Saporito, 64, Bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey (September 15). Monsignor Saporito, 64, is currently auxiliary bishop of Newark. Institutional Connection to McCarrick A native of Newark, Saporito entered the McCarrick seminary in 1987. In 1992, Archbishop Theodore McCarrick ordained Saporito to the priesthood. In 1999, homosexual McCarrick elevated the young Rev Saporito as assistant director of vocations. Founded Homosexual Ministry in Parish During Saporito’s tenure as pastor of St. Joseph Church in Maplewood (2004–2011), the parish employed an openly homosexual man as its full-time director of music and liturgy. He said he disclosed the relationship before being hired. Furthermore, as pastor of St. Joseph, Rev Saporito founded a group for homosexuals called "Open Arms Ministry." A 2011 report noted that the parish's embrace of homosexuals came under Saporito: “Above all, according to parishioners, Saporito - through words and deeds …Caman
If Robert Prevost is Pope, the Papacy is false. If Vatican II is authentic, no Councils matter. If Novus Ordoism is right, Roman Catholicism was always wrong. The Church is not an adulteress, and the Conciliar Sect is clearly the world’s whore. This is accurate, certain, and true.
A Catholic chaplaincy in the Diocese of St Gallen, Switzerland, is organising a 'drag' event. The performance, which will feature transvestites, will take place on Friday at the Grabenhalle venue in St. Gallen. According to the organisers, it will address "social, spiritual and cultural issues". Audience members will be invited to donate to a homosexual organisation.
Catholic Church Staff Are Helping Put on a Drag Show in St. Gallen; “Catholic” Theologian Says Drag and Catholicism are Both About “Transformation” Meanwhile, ten bishops hold an LGBT summit in Rome while Leo promotes one New Ways Ministry ally and another bishop open to LGBT Communion, female deacons, and a “different Church.” St. Gallen supplies the farce. This Friday, two drag performers, Lupa Nova and Amélie Putain, are scheduled to appear at the Grabenhalle for an evening called Deep Drag. The event is being organized in collaboration with Katholisch St. Gallen. The program promises drag performances mixed with “social, spiritual and cultural questions,” moderated conversation and reflection on identity, memory and hope. Admission is free. The Catholic theologian involved, Ann-Katrin Gässlein, even finds a theological analogy between drag and Christianity: “transformation,” she argues, stands at the center of Catholic faith. She says the collaboration is meant to send a signal for …Caman
A child just under two years old was euthanized in the Netherlands because of disabilities. Born prematurely at 26 weeks, the child had severe brain damage, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, and difficult-to-treat seizures. At the parents’ request, a doctor killed the toddler at the end of 2025. Dutch authorities ruled on September 9 that the required criteria had been met.

THAT which I have thus described as going on within the souls who are actually in purgatory, I have experienced in my own soul, especially during the last two years ; and each day I see and feel it more clearly. I perceive my soul in the midst of my body as in a purgatory, conformed and like to the true purgatory, in measure, however, that the body may be able to endure it and not die ; yet the pain goes on increasing gradually until death. I see the soul estranged to all things, even spiritual, which can give it nourishment as joy, delight, consolation ; and it has no …Caman

Leo XIV appoints military bishop who wants to “make a different Church”, and is open to female deacons and Communion for homosexuals. On September 14, Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Pedro Luis Fuentes Valencia, 58, as Military Ordinary for Bolivia. The Passionist bishop has served as apostolic administrator of the Military Ordinary since 2022, alongside his duties as auxiliary bishop of La Paz. Fuentes represented the Bolivian bishops at both sessions of the Synod on Synodality in Rome in 2023 and 2024. "Synodality Is Nature of Church" In October 2023 he spoke of having “the courage to build a different kind of church”. In June 2024, he defined synodality as “the very nature of the Church”. In July 2024, he repeated: “The Synod on Synodality is a way of being the Church.” And: “This is the Church’s identity: listening to one another, sharing, walking together, maturing together, growing together,” Communion for Homosexuals In October 2023, Monsignor Fuentes spoke about Holy Communion …Caman
In October 2023, Monsignor Fuentes spoke about Holy Communion for adulterers and those “not in full communion with the church”. According to Ceb.bo this included “the situation of the LGBT community”. Bishop Fuentes said: “This remains under debate, and the issue is still open. But to enter into Communion, one must reflect on one’s life—not so much in a moralistic sense, but in terms of what it means to be a Christian, for that is the direction we are heading in: what it means to be baptized and to be a follower of the Lord.”
Here is an example of what I mean: the Pope has appointed a new bishop for Terni, Italy—in addition to appointing the infamous Bishop Saporito to the See of Metuchen. Here is what the traditionalist blog *Messainlatino* says about him: "Our sources inform us that the appointment of Monsignor Alfonso Raimo—currently Auxiliary Bishop of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno—as the new Bishop of Terni-Narni-Amelia will be announced shortly. We understand that he is the rector of the Church of San Giorgio Martire in Salerno, where the traditional Holy Mass is celebrated and where he has also delivered homilies, and that he holds 'orthodox' positions regarding doctrine." I am certain that Gloria.tv will publish an article defaming this bishop, claiming he said something "synodal," met with Protestants, or something similar. This amounts to discrediting the Church. Saporito is a heretic; Raimo is not. Yet for Gloria.tv and its followers, both are trash; this is lying and defamation.

“Conservative” Auxiliary Bishop Josef Graf of Regensburg, Germany, can envision ordaining married men to the priesthood. Monsignor Graf made this remarks during a holiday in San Genesio, South Tyrol, where he also helped with the grape harvest in a local vineyard. He told Bz-bx.net: “I personally believe that the Church could afford viri probati”. He added that married priests would probably not solve the shortage of priests. On the ordination of women to the priesthood, Monsignor Graf said he believes it is “not possible.” He pointed there are “still” weighty theological reasons for reserving Holy Orders to men. #newsAdwjzpyvzr
Oddly enough, I can 'envision' waking up and discovering a Church which nurtures vocations by holding to the Faith rather than deviating from it to suit the needs of prelates who should never have been ordained in the first place.
Mature married men have worked out as well in the parishes founded by Anglicans who converted to Catholicism and, of course, historically in the Eastern Churches, so I don't see what people are worrying about. As long as they don't offer ordination to married men under the age of, say, 45 or 50, I think they'd make an excellent and much needed source of new priests.

A woman found the dress while going through her mother’s closet after she was gone. Her mother was no longer there. But the dress was. It hung pressed between an old winter coat and another jacket that had long since gone out of style. The closet was full of clothes that had been mended, altered, worn thin, and carefully kept long after most people would have thrown them away. And there, among all of them, was this dress. It had been wrapped carefully in a clean white sheet. Pale pink. Elegant. Still carrying its original price tag. It was unmistakably from the 1990s, with padded shoulders, gold buttons, and a low back. Old-fashioned now, certainly. But once, it must have looked beautiful. And it was completely new. There was something almost unbearable about that. Her mother was gone, but the dress was still waiting. The daughter tried to remember the occasions when her mother might have worn it. There had been plenty of family gatherings. Her father’s relatives sometimes came to stay …Caman
