Leo XIV has overhauled the Vatican's financial watchdog, replacing its long-standing board-led structure with a director appointed directly by the pope. The reform, contained in a chirograph published June 30, introduces a new statute for the Authority for Financial Supervision and Information (ASIF). This body is responsible for combating money laundering and supervising the Vatican's financial system. The biggest change is institutional. Until now, ASIF was governed by a president and board - a model resembling those used by many central banks and independent financial regulators. The new statute abolishes that structure. Instead, ASIF will be headed by a director, assisted by a deputy director, both appointed by the pope for five-year terms. The authority's annual report and budget will also be submitted directly to the Council for the Economy. The statute replaces the previous board with a single papally appointed leadership, a governance model that more closely resembles that of …Күбрәк
FSSPX "Liturgical" Reply for Lacking an Apostolic Mandate: Asked about the Apostolic Mandate in the liturgical rite of the Episcopal Consecrations, a notary of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) read a declaration: “It is the Catholic and Roman Church, which has always been faithful to the traditions received from the Apostles, that, in entirely exceptional circumstances, demands that we uphold these traditions — the Deposit of Faith — and transmit them faithfully to all men for the salvation of their souls. From the Second Vatican Council to the present day, church authorities have been acting contrary to the faith and against holy tradition. They will no longer tolerate sound doctrine.”
When asked about the Apostolic Mandate for the Episcopal Consecrations, they justify why they will proceed without it.
Bishop Richard Moth, Screengrab youtube Pope Leo XIV named Archbishop Richard Moth as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Northampton after its ordinary, Bishop David James Oakley, was charged with two counts of sexually assaulting a minor earlier this month. On June 30, Pope Leo appointed Archbishop Moth, who currently serves as the archbishop of Westminster and the head of the Church in England and Wales, to temporarily lead the Diocese of Northampton as Bishop Oakley faces criminal charges. On June 24, Oakley, 70, was charged with two counts of rape of a girl under age 16 after being arrested last fall. “I am humbled by the trust which His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has placed in me by assigning me this mission as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Northampton, in addition to my ministry as the Archbishop of Westminster,” Moth said in a statement after the appointment. “I ask those whom I am called to serve to pray for me, that the Lord will continue to give me His …
On June 27, an Asian cardinal criticized at the consistory the continuing restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite, reports IlGiornale.it. The Cardinal argued that if they were lifted, it would be much easier to attract faithful prepared to leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. There are three dozen Asian cardinals. The most outspoken in support of the ancient Roman rite are Cardinals Malcolm Ranjith of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and William Goh of Singapore. Picture: AI, #newsFeyawfwlyc
Amos 7:10-17 “Go, prophesy to my people Israel.” What is best to teach is what is most real. Matthew 9:1-8 “Your sins are forgiven.” It is worthwhile to reflect on the present tense aspect of this statement. God forgives us. Do we forgive ourselves? Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Burning Crosses at a Polish Festival: On 26 June, during the Bangarang heavy metal festival in Chwałkowo, Poland, a stage performance included the burning of wooden crosses. A firefighter stood by for fire safety. Local politicians and officials condemned the act as blasphemous and disrespectful of religious feeling.
Płonące krzyże na satanistycznym festiwalu Na festiwalu "Bangarang" w Chwałkowie który odbył się w miniony weekend doszło do skandalicznego wydarzenia i znieważenia chrześcijańskiego symbolu religijnego. Został spalony Krzyż. Pytanie dlaczego nikt o tym nie piszę i nie mówi? Impreza dofinansowana przez lokalne samorządy, promowana głośno w mediach.. ogromny skandal na skalę Polski, a tutaj cisza Chodzi o festiwal Bangarang7, który odbył się w miniony weekend w Chwałkowie. To wydarzenie od kilku lat przyciąga fanów metalu, punka, rocka i hardcore’u. Festiwal organizuje Stowarzyszenie „Dżentelmeni Metalu”, które z pola kukurydzy stworzyło miejsce rozpoznawalne w środowisku miłośników ciężkiego grania.
A firefighter stood by for fire safety. Local politicians and officials condemned the act as blasphemous and disrespectful of religious feeling. And yet it was still allowed. Even with a firefighter to make sure it doesn't get out of control. Their only real concern. A lot of people get away with this sort of thing in Poland like Blaspheming against Catholics and GOD. Very few are even fined. Then below we have this mess in Poland. No wonder they don't stop burning of crosses and filthy plays. You will never see this in Russia! It's a crime, and a serious crime to attack any religion in Russia. They won't pretend to be outraged. THEY WILL BE! And off to jail you go! Freedom of religion is one thing they take very seriously. They got caught in their own laws trying to ban freemasons. But working on how to change it without hurting others. That will be one huge challenge they have on their hands. Thankfully there isn't many at all. About 1.000 +. This is why many hate Russia. She destroys …Күбрәк
"Our work is not about creating a parallel institution in which everything is the way we want it, but improving what is going on in the mainstream, above all making the Traditional Mass available to as many Catholics as possible. I note this because of the very different attitude of Fr Davide Pagliarani, the Superior General of the Society of St Pius X."
Very good point. The SSPX's position is not about the Latin Mass. It was founded to preserve and pass on the Apostolic Faith. The Latin Mass can exist along side Fiducia Supplicans, Amoris Letitia, etc. The Apostolic Faith cannot.
01.07.2026 POPE LEO HIDES RATZINGER’S SECRET FROM FR. DAVIDE PAGLIARANI: AG 7 IS ALIGNED WITH EENS AND LG 16 IS NOT AN EXPLICIT EXCEPTION FOR AG7 AND EENS. VATICAN COUNCIL II IS ECCLESIOCENTRIC Pope Leo did not give out the Ratzinger Secret to Fr.Davide Pagliarani. It is: Ad Gentes 7 is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Council of Florence 1442) while LG 8, 14, 16 etc are not objective exceptions for EENS or AG 7. Vatican Council II is traditional and not liberal. Vatican Council II is aligned with the traditionalists. Pope Leo is in schism with LG 16 projected as a visible exception for EENS and AG 7. This is irrational. It is not tradition. It is not part of the deposit of the faith. It is not magisterial and apostolic. We now know that it is now Vatican Council II, which says outside the Church there is no salvation (AG 7). AG 7 is placed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church under the tile outside the Church no Salvation. (846). This was Ratzinger’s Secret. The …Күбрәк
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Lucio Adrián Ruiz, 61, as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. Until now, Ruiz has served as Secretary of the Dicastery for Communication and will assume his new office on 1 September 2026.

Italian Bishops Commit to Interfaith State Religion. Worse than Germany: On 25 June, the Italian Bishops' Conference signed an interfaith agreement titled "The Italian Way of Dialogue: Religions in the Public Sphere and for Social Cohesion" together with representatives of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Baháʼí and other religious communities. After the signing, the signatories met President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale Palace to present him with a copy of the pact. He welcomed the initiative as a contribution to dialogue and social cohesion.
The Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Don Davide Pagliarani, has replied to Leo XIV, asking him to take more time before making any decision concerning the FSSPX. "One day, all the difficulties between the Holy See and the Society will be resolved." The letter. The Superior General To His Holiness Pope Leo XIV Ecône, 30 June 2026 Most Holy Father, Thank you very much for the letter that Your Holiness so kindly addressed to me. I have been deeply touched by Your paternal solicitude. For a long time, I had hoped to have the opportunity of meeting You in person, in order to express to You directly our sincere desire to serve the Church. Unfortunately, that opportunity has not presented itself. I ask only that You consider the sincerity of this intention, which is in no way feigned. Paradoxically, in the present circumstances, we believe it to be our very duty to do everything possible to mend Christ's seamless garment, torn by forces and pressures incompatible …Күбрәк
@brhenry You have reached for a very strained reading of the SSPX response. Something along the order of what we would expect from bomb throwers. A common sense reading (which is clearly what was intended) would be "Don't act impulsively." The SSPX has never given even the slightest hint that they have ever been looking for a "compromise."
"Kicking the can down the road" has been the problem from the beginning with all disciplinary issues in the Church, including the 1962 Missal sectarian problem. Essentially, the SSPX wants the Vatican to take a modernist "inclusive, all are welcome" approach. Hopefully the Holy Father demands repentance and full reconciliation for years of schism.
Yesterday, Leo XIV wrote to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. He acknowledged the FSSPX's devotion to Tradition, the liturgy, and priestly formation. He begs them to "turn back" from a prospective "schismatic act", warning of its grave consequences while reaffirming the Church's openness to dialogue and reconciliation. The letter. To the Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X With a paternal heart, and aware of the responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord as the Successor of the Apostle Peter, I address you and, through you, the bishops, priests, seminarians and faithful connected to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently …Күбрәк
This is political strategy. It has nothing to do with being a "Shepherd." Enough dialogue. We've been dialoguing for 60 years. "By their fruits you will know them." Who would have guessed Our Lord was prophesying with a double entendre.
Prevost tore the union with Christ by persisting in Bergoglios errors, by promoting sodomy, universalism, masonry, paganism, by bowing down to the idols...and now HE pretends to beg for union. Gaslighting at the highest level! But guess what? It works, especially on poor seduced bishops and cardinals! God help them!
I am not a lay adherent of the SSPX, but I have to say that I feel sympathy for them when I see how they are treated by fellow Catholics. It sets off all my "whatabouts."
Austrian Diocese Celebrates Homosexual Service: Pastoral assistant Elisabeth Fritzl of the Diocese of Graz-Seckau took part in an ecumenical service held on June 24 as part of the official programme of the Graz homosexual march.

#nurmut - Ökumenischer CSD-Gottesdienst machte Hoffnung sichtbar
„Hab nur Mut, steh auf!“ – dieser Zuspruch aus der Geschichte des blinden Bartimäus (Markus 10,46–52) stand im Mittelpunkt des diesjährigen ökumenischen CSD-Gottesdienstes. Unter dem Motto #nurmut feierten zahlreiche Meschen einen Gottesdienst, der Mut machte, berührte und Gemeinschaft erfahrbar werden ließ. Menschen aus der LGBTQIA+-Community, Freund:innen, Familienangehörige und viele Allies (Personen, die selbst nicht queer sind, aber sich sichtbar und aktiv für die Rechte, Sicherheit und Würde von queeren Personen einsetzen) kamen zusammen, um gemeinsam zu beten, zu singen und ein Zeichen für eine Kirche zu setzen, in der Vielfalt ihren Platz hat. Die Predigt hielt Pfarrer Samuel Ebner. Ausgehend von der Geschichte des Bartimäus sprach er über den Mut, die eigene Stimme zu erheben, auch dann, wenn andere zum Schweigen auffordern. Bartimäus ließ sich nicht beirren und rief weiter nach Jesus – ein Bild, das viele Menschen aus der Community bis heute bewegt. Der Ruf „Hab nur Mut …
