The inaugural recipient will be announced in September.

– Folha de S. Paulo, September 13, 1983 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira FRANCE, first-born daughter of the Church, was brilliant down through the centuries in the acts of its illustrious children in favor of the preservation and expansion of the Mystical Body of Christ. It is precisely in France that the “New Sunday Missal — 1983” is circulating widely and with impunity. The work, carrying the Imprimatur (6/26/82) of Msgr. R. Boudon, Bishop of Mende and President of the French Language Liturgical Commission, has not been condemned so far. Its pages thus continue to intoxicate countless French-speaking faithful seeking there the invaluable inspiration of liturgical texts that conform to the perennial teaching of the Church, but also finding texts profoundly discrepant from the Catholic spirit. Here I will limit myself to comment on three characteristic topics of the Nouveau Missel. At the end of the Mass for Sunday, March 13, page 139, the “New Missal” says this of… Marx! Yes, you are …نور
No doubt the perpetrators and facilitators of this tripe were excommunicated. (No?! You'd have to be an unofficial bishop who follows the teachings of the Church pre-Vat 2 to warrant that.) If there is 'schism' in the air, it is being fueled by both sides of this debacle. The Church must get its act together.
The monk who disappeared during the night of June 23–24 from Notre-Dame de Bellaigue Abbey in central France was Dom Placide Dumas, prior of the monastery. His absence was discovered at Matins the following morning. More than two days later, he was found injured in the neighboring department of Haute-Vienne. French prosecutors opened an investigation for kidnapping and unlawful confinement. French media report that he was found bearing injuries consistent with an assault, although authorities have not disclosed the nature of his injuries or explained how he came to be in Haute-Vienne. Eleven monks allegedly attempted to take control of the monastery on the same night that Dom Placide disappeared. An email sent from Dom Placide's account announced his resignation as prior. Investigators are trying to determine whether he wrote it voluntarily, under duress, or whether someone else sent it. They also reportedly found his room completely emptied and carefully cleaned, suggesting his departure …نور
To celebrate the 1,250th anniversary of the Westphalian State in Germany, a performance was staged inside Paderborn Cathedral last year. This is one of the acts that was presented, featuring dead chickens wrapped in diapers. Faced with the outrage of the Catholic faithful, archdiocesan authorities apologized and stated that they were unaware of the nature of the performance that was to take place.
Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, Scotland, issued a pastoral letter on Saturday ahead of the planned episcopal consecration of Fr. Michael Mary, F.SS.R., superior general and founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists. The "consecration" is scheduled to take place on July 25 on Papa Stronsay in Orkney. It is performed by three Sedevacantist "bishops" from the Americas. Bishop Gilbert said the consecration would constitute an act of schism. He compared it with the July 1 consecration of four bishops by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. The bishop noted that the planned consecration directly concerns the Diocese of Aberdeen because Papa Stronsay lies within its geographical boundaries. At the same time, Bishop Gilbert expanded the provision of the Mass in the Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady of the Garioch and St. John the Evangelist in Fetternear. The Mass, previously offered once a month, will now be celebrated every Sunday. After the Transalpine Redemptorists became Sedevacantist …نور

Leo XIV Visits Monte Cassino: Today, Pope Leo XIV made a private pilgrimage to the Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, where he prayed at the tomb of St. Benedict, Patron Saint of Europe. Entrusting to the saint his plea for peace in regions torn by war and violence, the Pope joined the Benedictine community in prayer before sharing lunch with the monks.

source: Grand Inquisitor — Inquisition; Substack “Who is Edgar Rimaycuna, the personal secretary and right-hand man of Leo XIV? (Excerpt from the article "Sodom in the Vatican" by Rodrigo Simón Rey, Cope, May 14, 2025) Edgar Rimaycuna is just 36 years old and is already the Pope’s Personal Secretary. He is a Peruvian priest, born in Chiclayo — the diocese where Robert Prevost served as bishop for a decade. It was in Chiclayo that he met Prevost in 2016. Edgar, who at the time was a 16 or 17 year-old seminarian, never left the side of “Father Roberto,” whom he regarded as a spiritual father and, over the years, a friend. The Pope began working with Edgar when he was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo. The Peruvian priest became his trusted right-hand man until 2023, when Prevost was made a cardinal and Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. The words Edgar addressed to him upon his departure say a great deal about their bond: “Thank you very much, …نور
Conservative US bishop calls FSSPX just another Protestant sect: In a YouTube video posted on 13 July, conservative Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield in Illinois, USA, said that the main problem with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X is their defiance of papal authority. 'By disobeying the Pope and rejecting the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X has essentially become another Protestant sect that believes it is right and the Pope is wrong.' Monsignor Paprocki also noted that, while there are currently 53,000 Christian denominations, Christ founded only one Church.

a) Ecclesiasticcus 47:4-5; Did not the sun stand still at his command, and was not one day made to seem like two? He called upon the Most High Sovereign when enemies were closing in on him from all sides, and the Great Lord answered him by sending down hailstones of terrible force. b) 1 Kings 18:36-8; At the time the offering was presented, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and said, “Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your command. Answer me, Yahweh, answer me, so that all this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God who turns their hearts.” Then the fire of Yahweh fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and licked up the water from the trenches. 1) The Prayer that God wants: a) John 4:23-24; But the hour is coming (it is already here) when the True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: that is the kind of worshiper the Father wants …نور

A large part of the church nave has collapsed. ... The high altar collapsed into the rubble. The statue of the Virgin remains intact,’ Father Henry Díaz explained.
A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck Peru's Junín region on July 18, killing at least five people, injuring more than 20, and causing widespread damage. The historic Santiago Apóstol Parish in Chongos Bajo was among the hardest hit, with its roof, façade, and centuries-old altars collapsing. Father Henry Díaz said much of the church nave gave way, deep cracks spread through the walls, and the bell tower is now dangerously unstable. Amid the destruction, however, a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary remained standing untouched, which Father Díaz described as a powerful sign of hope. Peru's Catholic bishops have offered prayers and are appealing for support to restore the historic parish.

Many bishops in the USA (and elsewhere) forbid Catholics from attending Mass in chapels belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, yet they welcome schismatics and homosexuals. Three examples: Arlington Bishop: FSSPX Sacraments Are "Invalid" Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, instructed Catholics to “avoid participating in the activities of the FSSPX.” In a letter dated 8 July, he wrote that "any celebrations of the sacraments of confession and matrimony by the FSSPX are invalid, and the administration of other sacraments is illicit". In September 2025, Bishop Burbidge said that his meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew was “incredible,” and marked a “historic moment of Christian unity”. Covington Bishop: FSSPX Mass Is "Abuse of Eucharist" Bishop John Iffert of Covington, Kentucky, said in a recent statement that the sacraments from the FSSPX are “illicit”: “The Masses these priests celebrate are an abuse of the Eucharist, insofar as they make the …نور
Doesn't Rome recognize the confessions and marriages of the schismatic Orthodox as valid? So if the SSPX is in schism, it should be given the same favor.
