German Balloon Mass with Female Dialogue Homily: On 22 July, a Eucharist in Munich to celebrate the Feast of St Mary Magdalene featured a woman performing a liturgical dance in a red dress. Another woman wearing an alb and a stole-like liturgical scarf delivered a dialogue homily with Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof and stood near the altar during the Eucharist. Red balloons were also used during the celebration.
Diese Woche hat eine Frau eine Dialog-Predigt mit Weihbischof Wolfgang Bischof (München) gehalten. Der liturgische Tanz im Video stammt aus dieser Messe. Anlass war das Fest der Maria Magdalena.
Vatican II said that there should be no liturgical changes unless the good of the Church clearly requires them. Therefore, since Vatican II can't be questioned, this lovely chick/balloon dance must be for the good of the Church.

Bishop Aguer : "The four Eucharistic Prayers of the reformed Missal seem to have been displaced by the “zero prayer”; that is, by what the celebrant in turn desires. This and other doctrinal, moral, and disciplinary breakdowns emptied seminaries and convents, triggered massive defections in the clergy and religious life, and unleashed a bleeding in the Church." spanish in comment of Archbishop Aguer: Traditionis Custodes Fueled … french in comment of Mgr Aguer : « Traditionis Custodes » a suscité …
James Martin SJ Wants the Church to Ordain [More] Homosexual Priests: Homosexual activist Fr James Martin SJ has called on Pope Leo XIV to remove the – largely unenforced – restrictions against "celibate homosexuals" to become priests. Fr Martin believes that "sexual orientation" alone should not stop a man from being ordained. He points to Pope Francis, who said there are already many "holy, healthy and celibate" homosexual priests. However, in 2005 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger concluded that men with deep-seated homosexual temptations should not enter the seminary because they lack the emotional maturity needed for lifelong celibacy.
The former Catholic seminary and boarding school in Bay Shore, New York, is set to become a Muslim boarding school, reports LiBn.com on July 15. The United American Muslim Association (UAMA) purchased the building for $5.2 million. The 6,500-square-metre centre, founded in 1926 by the Montfort Missionaries, was used to train priests before later serving as a retreat house. Pending approval of a zoning change, the new owners intend to establish an Islamic boarding school for up to 120 boys. According to its website, UAMA aims to provide an education in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. However, local residents have organised opposition to the proposal, with many displaying 'NO Boarding School' signs throughout the neighbourhood. Picture: Google street view, #newsAjnqxreavu
Young Catholics in Brazil are expressing a desire for deeper faith formation, greater emphasis on holiness, and well-celebrated liturgy, while also voicing frustration with what they see as an excessive focus on sociopolitical issues in the Church, according to a national survey presented to the Brazilian Bishops' Conference (CNBB). The 2025 survey, conducted by the CNBB's Episcopal Commission for Youth with academic partners, gathered responses from more than 11,000 Catholics aged 12 to 29 across Brazil. It used a voluntary online questionnaire rather than a representative random sample. According to the partial results (document below), holiness and the Christian faith were the most frequently cited topics of interest among respondents. Many also expressed a desire for stronger formation in Catholic teaching, greater emphasis on Scripture and the Eucharist, and well-celebrated liturgy. Asked what makes participation in the Church more difficult, respondents most often pointed to a lack …ተወሳኺ
Cotignac Shrines Survive Devastating Wildfire: A major wildfire in southeastern France burned more than 2,500 hectares, destroyed around 60 homes, forced the evacuation of 500 people, and injured four people. Although the flames came within meters of the pilgrimage sites of Our Lady of Graces and Saint Joseph of Cotignac, both sanctuaries were left undamaged, thanks in part to firefighters and vegetation-clearing efforts.
Italian journalist Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatina.it is standing by his reporting on the Vatican's canonical trial of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik after the Holy See denied reports that the judges had reached a decision. Yesterday, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni called claims of any judicial deliberation "absolutely unfounded." However, Casalini argues today that the Vatican refuted something his publication never claimed. His sources indicated that certain allegations had been removed from the proceedings because they lacked sufficient evidence or did not constitute offenses under Canon Law - not that a final verdict had been reached. "The question," Casalini writes, "is whether our report is unfounded, or whether the only unfounded claim - one we never made - is that a final judgment has already been reached." Casalini's most striking point concerns a recent conversation with Rupnik. He says a mutual acquaintance spoke with the former Jesuit about twenty days ago, during which Rupnik …ተወሳኺ
Peruvian priest Ricardo Yesquén Paiva has died at the age of 59 without ever facing a canonical or civil investigation into allegations that he sexually abused a 10-year-old girl in 2006. In September 2024, the Diocese of Chiclayo said Yesquén suffered from a "serious degenerative illness" that left him incapable of defending himself in canonical proceedings. The diocese never identified the illness. The complainants disputed the explanation, pointing to official diocesan records and photographs showing him at public liturgical events through at least early 2023, contradicting claims that he had long ceased exercising ministry. One image from January 2023 shows then-Bishop Robert Prevost - now Pope Leo XIV - celebrating a birthday alongside Yesquén, nearly three years after the first complaint. The case gained international attention because the first complaint against Yesquén reached Bishop Prevost as early as March 2020, while he led the Diocese of Chiclayo. Two Accused Priests, One …ተወሳኺ
Unfortunately, it seems "most" Ukrainians know what's going on. And the Russians know all to well what's going on and who's behind it all. Both want to destroy nazism in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people wrote to Putin to destroy their conscription offices. and Russia obliged them. They wrote to President Putin since before 2014 to come and save them. But President Putin is extremely wise and knew what the west was looking for. But in 2014, he had enough. Broken hearted that so many people and mostly children were dying. So he finally stepped in and trying to be very careful not to provoke the west. But it doesn't take much to provoke them and give them a reason to attack Russia and to help the nazi government of Ukraine. In the end, Russia will be victorious in many ways. Let them try to destroy Russia. GOD has great plans for her and no evil man or otherwise can stop it.
Italian Bishop Celebrates Alpine Mass with Hosts in a Plastic Box: Worse than Germany: On 19 July, Bishop Derio Olivero, 65, of Pinerolo, Italy, celebrated at the Chisonetto Dam near the Italian ski resort Sestriere the annual "Mass in the Valley". Around 300 people attended lying on mats. Throughout the "liturgy" the hosts remained in a plastic storage container placed on the altar. The used cup was wooden.

Aztec-Inspired Concert "Misa Azteca" at Los Angeles Cathedral: On 27 June, the Cathedral of Los Angeles hosted a performance of the concert 'Misa Azteca', a piece by the composer Joseph Julián González. The production incorporated pagan Mexican musical traditions and featured Nahua poetry and Aztec-inspired dance. The programme began with a ceremonial procession of dancers. Contrary to online claims, the event was not a Eucharist.
This happened on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Apparently Misa Azteca is a unique work that brings together the prayers of the Latin Mass with the rhythms and sounds of indigenous Mexican musical traditions.
EVERYTHING but the Traditional Mass of the Ages. But, of course, there's "no state of emergency, no necessity whatsoever".... "When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand." Matthew 24:15
Anecdotes about Pope Leo XIV's student years at the International College of St. Monica in Rome, belonging to the Augustinian Fathers, are published in the new Vatican News documentary Leone a Roma. An Augustinian friar recalls that fellow students played "so many jokes" on him—"so many." One night he woke convinced an airplane was circling outside his window. The brothers had hidden a ringing radio on top of his wardrobe, leaving him searching for the mysterious noise in the middle of the night. On another occasion, someone offered this friar what he thought was a candy. "They said to me, 'Here, I would like to offer you a candy.' So I thought it was a candy, but instead it was a laxative tablet. As a result, while I was in the chapel I had to run to the bathroom." The documentary accompanies the story with the photo of a smiling young Robert Prevost, without suggesting who was responsible. Another friar recalls that the future pope would squeeze into his room every single evening to …ተወሳኺ
