Leo XIV convenes the cardinals: confidential note sets out programme and calls for discretion

Vatican City - A confidential briefing note, dated 16 June and accompanied by the detailed schedule of proceedings, has reached the members of the Sacred College in recent hours. It confirms the convocation of the Extraordinary Consistory, called by Leo XIV for 26 and 27 June 2026, and sets out its programme, method and - with an insistence that is hardly accidental - the requirements of confidentiality.
The document begins from a programmatic premise: since his election, the Pope has expressed his wish to draw upon “the wealth of experience and wisdom” of the College. The two days are therefore conceived not as a deliberative assembly, but as a time of fraternal exchange around some of the challenges that today confront the life and mission of the Church.
The four sessions
The proceedings are structured around four main moments, divided between the Paul VI Hall and the New Synod Hall.
Friday 26 June begins at 7.30 a.m. with Holy Mass in St Peter’s Basilica, presided over by Leo XIV …

Leo XIV Against Remigration of Migrants: Asked about “remigration” of immigrants, Pope Leo XIV replied on Tuesday in Castel Gandolfo: “Simply saying, ‘We send them away, and then the problem is off our hands,’ does not seem to me to be the most Christian response.” He said migrants should be respected as persons, their reasons for leaving considered, and their cases examined individually.

Sulla questione remigrazione, esorta a trattare “con rispetto ogni persona”: “Dire mandiamo via, così ci laviamo le mani, non mi sembra una risposta cristiana”.

Excess deaths across 47 western countries 2020 - 2022 total 3.1 million during vaxx rollout - cairnsnews.org

Still governments are pushing the deadly Covid vaxx and there are still dummies around silly enough to take them
From Steve Kirsch
BMJ Public Health Journal
The BMJ opened an investigation into the Mostert paper about excess deaths over 2 years ago. There is no update after 2 years. Nothing. Why is this investigation taking so long? We are left in the dark.
For more than 2 years now, both the integrity team and editors at BMJ public health have been investigating “issues” raised regarding the quality and messaging in the
Mostert paper which showed excess deaths rose in 47 countries after the COVID vaccines rolled out.
After more than two years, the “issues” with the paper have not been revealed, nor has the outcome of the investigation.
The scientific community has literally been left in the dark on this important paper waiting to hear the result of the investigation.
Two years is a long time. For example, it took only about one year to develop a vaccine against a novel pathogen (…

"Devil" Beer Tap in Belgian Confessional: A deconsecrated church built in 1878 in Antwerp, Belgium, has served as a foyer for Theater Elckerlyc since 2025. One confessional now contains a token machine, while another has been fitted with a self-service Duvel 6.66% beer tap. "Duvel" is Dutch for "devil" and is also the name of a Belgian beer brand. An earlier report claimed the diocese had approved the concept, but the article was corrected on 10 June: the diocese says it was not involved in the redevelopment.

Devil installed in confessional with Church's blessing

Duvel - Flemish dialect word for Devil - beer vending machine in confessional in Antwerp: “The diocese even thought it was a good idea”
Antwerp “Is this really how we treat our ecclesiastical heritage?” Outrage has arisen on social media regarding two confessionals in the former Church of Our Lady of Grace on Frankrijklei, which has served as the foyer of Theater Elckerlyc since last year. You can no longer go there to confess your sins, but you can to buy tokens or tap a Duvel 6.66%.
Although both confessionals have been part of the foyer for more than a year, a new debate arose this week after a theatergoer shared a photo of the token vending machine in a confessional on Facebook. The person in question criticized the way religious heritage is being handled. The numerous responses show that the repurposing of ecclesiastical elements remains a sensitive subject for some people, even though the Church of Our Lady of Grace has been deconsecrated for quite some time and the building now …

Peace Deal Made… But the Hunger Crisis Just Evolved
Peace Deal Signed — But the Hunger Crisis Just Evolved | Updated Hormuz Model A framework deal has been reached between the United States and Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But does this mean the global food crisis is over? In this video, we update the “From Hormuz to Hunger” model with the latest developments — including the peace deal, confirmed El Niño, severe Western drought, New World Screwworm confirmed in Texas, and declining U.S. meat processing capacity.
We break down what has changed, what remains locked in, and how close (or far) we are from the original high-end estimates. The original 225 million figure was never a prediction — it was a boundary condition showing how thin the margins are when multiple systems fail at once. Even with a deal in place, that structure hasn’t disappeared. We’re tracking this story with documents, not opinions.

Historic Cathedral, Now a Parish Church, Abused for Political Dinner: On June 12 and 13, a 'Heavenly Dinner' was held in St. Andrä’s former cathedral, the historic episcopal church of the now-defunct Diocese of Lavant in Austria. Today, the Cathedral serves as a parish church. Several local restaurateurs jointly prepared the dinner, while local politicians and other guests dined inside the church. Before the meal, a table prayer was recited. As host, Dean Fr. Gerfried Sitar welcomed the guests. During the evening, the clergyman was also awarded the Gold Plaque of the City of St. Andrä.

Mit dem „Himmlischen Mahl“ fand am 12. und 13. Juni im Dom zu St. Andrä ein außergewöhnlicher Höhepunkt und zugleich der feierliche Abschluss der diesjährigen Domspiele statt. Die St. Andräer Wirte hatten sich zusammengeschlossen und ein gemeinsames Dinner kreiert, das Genuss, Kultur und Spiritualität auf eindrucksvolle Weise miteinander verband.
Der Name „Himmlisches Mahl“ verweist dabei nicht nur auf die kulinarischen Genüsse des Abends, sondern auch auf seinen religiösen Hintergrund. Das gemeinsame Mahl besitzt im Christentum eine tiefe symbolische Bedeutung. Es erinnert an die Tischgemeinschaft Jesu mit seinen Jüngern und daran, dass Gemeinschaft, Gastfreundschaft und das Teilen zu den Grundwerten des christlichen Glaubens gehören.

The Rosary as a Spiritual Weapon
Just as Our Lady of Lepanto delivered Christendom from physical destruction, the
Holy Rosary remains one of our most powerful spiritual weapons against the culture of death, especially the evil of abortion.
by Lyn Wade
Each time we pray the angelic salutation of the Hail Mary, we not only honour the Mother of God, but also adore the blessed fruit of her womb: Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, who sanctified the unborn by taking flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
Our Response to a Spiritual Battle
To confront the evil of abortion, which is deeply entrenched in our society, Catholics cannot rely on secular or political strategies alone. While pro-life rallies and sidewalk counselling have their place, this is ultimately a spiritual battle.
For this reason, we must turn with confidence to the enduring power of this Marian devotion: the Holy Rosary. The true battlefront is spiritual, and it is fought on our knees through prayer, sacrifice and …

Leo XIV Calls for "New International Financial Framework"

Pope Leo XIV published today a video message for the climate World Summit in Vienna, Austria. He called for a "just transition" to new economic models, urged wealthy nations to provide greater financial support, and advocated the development of a new international financial framework. All this is presented within the façade and language of Catholic social teaching and care for creation and the poor. Three key quotes, emphasis added.
- "These challenges [peace, natural resources, climate change] require international cooperation, together with cohesive and forward-looking multilateralism in order to find effective solutions."
- "It is not merely desirable but also genuinely possible that the progress at COP30 [United Nations’ climate summit] can be followed up with a just transition toward societies where the common good takes precedence over profit, and economic models are rooted in solidarity and human dignity. Yet, this requires wealthier countries to meet their obligations to …Sateruse

Protestant Prayer and the Catholic Mass as “Different Pathways to God”: “Catholic” U.S. Vice President JD Vance appeared to relativize the Catholic Church and the Eucharist during a June 16 interview on Fox & Friends. Speaking about what he called the strength of “the American church,” Vance emphasized the diversity of [contradicting] Christian denominations: “You can't be an American Catholic or an American Pentecostal or an American Southern Baptist without running into someone who has a slightly different perspective on faith.” He added: “It's all about Jesus.” Vance sees "different ways" by which people find God: “Different ways, sometimes with 'snake handlers' [evangelicals in Kentucky], sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass, but I think all these pathways really matter and they're part of the reason why we do find our path to God.”

JD Vance: "One of the things I love about the American church is there are all of these different pathways to God ... sometimes with snake handlers, sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass. But I think all of these pathways really matter."

Conquer Weariness, Keep Praying – Why Your Rosary Outlasts Every Storm
48th ROSE - Perseverance
As a fifth point, I must add perseverance and prayer. Only he who perseveres in asking, seeking, and knocking, will receive, will find and will enter. It is not enough to ask God for certain graces for a month, a year, ten or twenty years; we must never tire of asking. We must keep on asking until the very moment of death, and even in this prayer, which shows our confidence in God, we must join the thought of death to that of perseverance and say, "Although he should kill me, I will trust in him," will trust him to give me what I ask.

Bishop Appointed by Leo XIV Backs ‘Female Pope’ Campaign The Diocese of St. Gallen, Switzerland, launched its "I’m In" ("Ich bin dabei") campaign on May 4 across 25 towns and villages. The billboard, web and social media campaign features clergy, church employees and volunteers posing provocative questions. One poster shows a pastoral worker asking: “Shall we pave the way for the election of the first female Pope?” — followed by the campaign’s signature response: "I’m in." Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Beat Grögli as Bishop of St. Gallen in May 2025, despite his publicly known support for the ordination of women

Cistercian Abbot: Vocations Decline Because We Became Tasteless Salt

In our time, authority is deeply discredited, both in society and in the Church, whether because of excess or deficiency. This was said by Father Francisco Rivera, 46, on June 14 in an interview with VidaNuevaDigital.com.
He was elected on May 20 as the new abbot of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa María de Huerta in Soria, Spain. It is one of Spain’s great monasteries and one of the most important historic houses of the Cistercian Order.
Father Rivera acknowledged that the number of vocations has declined drastically: “We can blame the world, its values or lack of them, young people, social media, and so on. But I believe consecrated life must also undertake a rigorous examination of conscience. Perhaps we have become a kind of tasteless salt. And we know what the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel about that.”
For the new abbot, the best vocation campaign is “to live, in our case, a serious and coherent monastic life, in fidelity to our monastic commitments and to the Rule of Saint …Sateruse

When a bird found shelter in a Capuchin friar’s habit | Shalom World News
Sometimes, God’s most beautiful messages arrive not through grand events, but through the quiet wonders of creation. At the Capuchin Monastery in Kottayam, Kerala, India, a land blessed by the visit of Pope St. John Paul II in 1986 and near the birthplace of St. Alphonsa, the first female saint of India, an extraordinary moment unfolded. A small bulbul bird, known for its sweet song and gentle presence, found a most unexpected shelter to begin a new life: the hood of a Capuchin friar’s habit. Fr. Jinu Mandiyil had hung his religious habit to dry. When he returned days later, he discovered a sight that filled the monastery with wonder — a tiny nest resting inside the hood, with newborn chicks waiting for their mother’s care. The friars watched with joy as the mother bird returned, feeding her little ones inside the folds of the garment dedicated to the service of God. Moved by the beauty of the moment, Fr.

Masses Denied at Multiple Italian Shrines for FSSP

Rorate-Caeli.blogspot.com published on June 16 a report about a recent pilgrimage in Italy with a priest of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP).
- This group was denied the celebration of Mass at the Shrine of San Giovanni Rotondo (Padre Pio) and instead celebrated Mass in a hotel basement.
- At the Basilica in Assisi, they were also denied permission to celebrate Mass in Latin, and they noted that an Orthodox Divine Liturgy was taking place at the same time.
- At Loreto, the group was initially denied permission to celebrate Mass, but the priest was finally able to convince the local authorities. However, in Loreto, there was a station for 'Dialogue and Listening' (pictured). Rather than a priest, a nun was 'listening' without a veil and wearing some kind of Roman collar.

Cardinal Camillo Ruini Dies at 95

Cardinal Camillo Ruini, an influential churchmen in Italy, died in Rome on the evening of June 16 at age 95.
He had been hospitalized last September with kidney problems and, after an initial recovery, saw his condition worsen in recent weeks. He chose to remain at home under medical care.
Born in Sassuolo, in the province of Modena, Ruini was ordained a priest in 1954.

In 1991, Pope St. John Paul II appointed him to lead the Italian Bishops' Conference, named him Vicar General of Rome, and created him a cardinal. He held the Rome vicariate until 2008 and led the bishops’ conference until 2007.
He became, for nearly two decades, one of the closest collaborators of both John Paul II and later Benedict XVI.
