You Must Choose Whom You Will Serve
The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of serving God, not just believing in Him. True service stems from love, not obligation, and requires trusting God’s provision. St. Paul’s list of vices highlights the need to overcome selfishness and prioritize love for God and others, as the commandments exemplify.
The ultimate goal is to become saints, living a life of virtue and charity, and to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting that He will provide for all other needs.

The Cunctator: a Maximalist?

Folha de S. Paulo, August 24, 1978

October 23, 1978: the historic embrace between Pope John Paul II and his great friend Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, Archbishop of Warsaw and Primate of Poland
At the first preparatory meeting of the conclave, Cardinal Wyszynski, Archbishop of Warsaw, reported that 300,000 Poles — including 7,500 university students — planned to walk in a pilgrimage to the famous shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa to pray to the cardinals for divine guidance, so the Church might select a new pope suited to the difficult conditions of the time. A loud round of applause from the other cardinals celebrated Most Rev. Wyszynski’s words.
There were many reasons for this.
First, the initiative’s markedly spiritual character rests and refreshes minds saturated with the socio-economic obsession that has recently invaded the Church.
Furthermore, it is especially impressive that religious fervor in Poland ignites in such a large crowd the courage needed for …More

🌈 Cardinal: Traditional Mass Must Yield to Church Unity

“I do deeply sympathise with people whose love of the Tridentine Mass has led them into tension with the hierarchy,” pro-homosexual Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe claimed talking to AdVaticanum.com on August 31.
He called some of them his friends and "hates to see them pained."
However: “But it is good always to remember that the Eucharist is the sacrament of our unity in Christ.”
Cardinal Radcliffe believes that “the sacrament can never become a sign of disunity” with the Church.
His conclusion: “However painful it might be, if the Church declares that a rite is not to be used, however much one might love it, it cannot be good to let its celebration be a source of division.”
Cardinal Radcliffe recommends celebrating the Novus Ordo in Latin “with great dignity and solemnity.”

Leo XIV's New Chinese Bishop Composed Hymn to Communist Party

Leo XIV announced that Honggang Liu, 55, was consecrated a Bishop for the Chinese Diocese of Datong on August 31.
ChinaCatholic.cn admitted today that Liu was elected bishop-designate of Datong on 28 April 2026. Vatican.va wrote today that Leo XIV did not formally appoint him until 10 August. Thus, Liu was selected unilaterally through the Chinese process more than three months before the papal appointment.
Career Cleric of State Church
Liu has been since his seminary time a career cleric of the state-controlled apparatus “Patriotic association”.
He became the state’s diocesan administrator of Datong in March 2005. He effectively administered the same diocese for two decades before becoming its bishop today.
Chinese sources has called him for years the director of the Datong Municipal Catholic Patriotic Association and head of the diocese. Currently he is vice-director of the Shanxi Patriotic Association (provincial-level leadership post).

Gallagher in Moscow: the Vatican seeks to keep the dialogue going

The mission did not lead to negotiations, but it confirmed the Holy See’s intention to remain in contact with Russia and to renew the humanitarian efforts also entrusted to Cardinal Zuppi. Moscow - Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher returned to the Vatican overnight from Friday to Saturday after a journey from Moscow that took around twelve hours, including a stopover in Istanbul and a flight path skirting the Balkans, Ukraine’s borders and Belarusian airspace. Before direct air links between Russia and the European Union were suspended, the same journey took roughly four hours. Gallagher himself drew attention to the contrast when he spoke to Vatican media at the end of his mission. The longer route, he said, “takes on a symbolic dimension”, reflecting the dialogue the Holy See intends to keep open with Moscow despite the war in Ukraine. During his mission, from 25 to 28 August, Gallagher met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ushakov, the Russian president’s foreign-policy …

Gallagher returned from Russia with an impression of the local Catholic community that he had not fully expected. It is numerically very small in a country of Russia’s size, but he found it remarkably lively.
It should be no surprise to anyone unless they only look and listen to propaganda. There is also the SSPX in Russia. At least two that I know of. As well as Armenian Catholics and of course mostly the novus ordo. Mainly The Immaculate Conception Cathedral on Red Square which sits in front of the Kremlin. It's under the Protection of the Russian Federation. There is a Latin Mass said at this Cathedral as well.

‘The Perpetual Virginity of Mary’ by Saint Jerome – Proposition 1st. ‘That Joseph was only putatively, not really, the husband of Mary’ – point 16

[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; born: Stridon, Roman Empire/died: Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church]
16. Now here we have the explanation of what I am endeavouring to show, how it is that the sons of Mary, the sister of our Lord's mother, who though not formerly believers afterwards did believe, can be called brethren of the Lord. Possibly the case might be that one of the brethren believed immediately while the others did not believe until long after, and that one Mary was the mother of James and Joses, namely, Mary of Clopas, who is the same as the wife of Alphæus, the other, the mother of James the Less. In any case, if she (the latter) had been the Lord's mother S. John would have allowed her the title, as everywhere else, and would not by calling her the mother of other sons have given a wrong impression. But at this stage I do not wish to argue for or against the supposition that Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary the …More

New crusade of the Vatican - the doctrine of lies: “Let us not retreat into our own convictions and religious certainties. This may ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined”.
1) Matthew 24:24; They will deceive, if posible, even the choosen.
2) There is no salvation in anyone else:
a) John 14: 6; Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
b) Acts 4:12; There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
c) 1 Timothy 2:5; There is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind, Christ Jesus.
3) Hebrews 10:28-29; If anyone violates the Law of Moses, he is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severe a punishment do you think will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, treated as profane the Blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of Grace?

Mass for care of creation ready for US churches after Vatican finalizes translations

The Mass for safeguarding the environment that Pope Leo XIV first celebrated last summer is now available for Catholic churches in the U.S., just in time for the upcoming ecumenical Season of Creation. The Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments finalized Aug. 4 English and Spanish translations of the Mass "for the care of creation," a new set of prayers and texts the Vatican added to the Roman Missal in June 2025. The completion of the translations proved providential for the Seattle Archdiocese, which plans to use the new texts (known as a formulary) at a Mass Sept. 2 celebrated by Archbishop Paul Etienne at St. James Cathedral to open its celebration of the Season of Creation. The monthlong period of prayer and actions for God's creation runs from Sept. 1, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to Oct. 4, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. "The timing is ideal to be able to celebrate it when it's new and fresh and just start a …

For over a thousand years the Church had ember and rogation days. Then Vatican II abolished this traditional custom, where fasting and prayers for all of God's creation was performed. There were also processions and blessings of fields and crops.

Austrian Bishop Bans FSSPX Rosary at Mariazell Basilica

Bishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl of Graz-Seckau, Austria, has prohibited the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) from holding its annual public Rosary prayer on October 4 inside the Basilica of Mariazell. It is one of the most important Marian shrines in Austria.
The annual ceremony in the basilica included Rosary, Litany of Loreto, Marian hymns and a blessing - but no sacraments.
Fsspx.at announced the decision on August 27, adding that a pilgrimage will take place with a modified program.
The FSSPX’s rosary prayer in Mariazell has existed for half a century. On September 8, 1975, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre led approximately 600 faithful to the Austrian shrine.
