On 6 August, Italian journalist David Murgia published the results of a confidential 2016 consultation within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith concerning the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje on IlSegnoDiGiona.com. Two Thirds of the Congregation Said Medjugorje was NOT Supernatural According to Murgia, 33 participants were asked to provide written opinions, or 'vota', on the Medjugorje phenomenon. Murgia reports the following results (17 September 2016): 21 participants chose 'constat de non supernaturalitate' (not of supernatural origin). 9 participants chose 'constat de supernaturalitate' (supernatural origin). 3 chose 'non constat de supernaturalitate' (the supernatural character has not been established). This corresponds to approximately 63.6 per cent for 'not supernatural', while only nine voted in favour. Ruini Commission, 2010-2014 This voting followed the work of the International Commission of Inquiry on Medjugorje, commonly known as the Ruini Commission. The …More
THE CHOIR: LITURGICAL IMPORTANCE Is the choir performing for us or helping us worship? When we hear the word choir, we often think about beautiful voices, harmonies, rehearsals, microphones and music. But at Mass, the choir is something more than a group of people who sing beautifully. The choir has a liturgical ministry. The Church describes the choir or schola cantorum as having its own proper function within the celebration: it carries out the musical parts entrusted to it and fosters the active participation of the faithful in singing. That second part is especially important. The choir is not there simply to sing to the congregation. It is there, in an important sense, to help the congregation sing with the Church. 1. THE CHOIR IS PART OF THE ASSEMBLY The choir may occupy a particular place and exercise a particular function, but it is not a separate audience standing outside the worshipping community. Musicam Sacram specifically says that the choir should be positioned so that its …More
Bishop Mark A. Eckman, 67, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will bring an end to the traditional Latin Mass at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa after nearly 20-years. Bishop Eckman was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Pittsburgh in 2021. In June 2025, Leo XIV promoted him to Bishop of Pittsburgh. In a letter dated 7 August (see below), Monsignor Eckman announced that the final Mass to be held at St. Titus using the 1962 Missal is scheduled for 4 September. The remaining two traditional Latin Masses in Pittsburgh are offered by the Institute Christ the King in Brighton Heights and by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in the West End. Bishop Eckman said his predecessor, Bishop David A. Zubik, received Vatican permission in 2022 to continue the Mass at St. Titus. The initial two-year authorization was extended in September 2024 for another two years. The Bishop didn't seek another extension, “The permission to celebrate according to the older ritual in a parish church was only ever meant to be …More

Maybe it's not about my clothes “Your clothes are wrinkled.” “They usually are. The iron and I have never really become friends.” “Honestly, it’s unpleasant to look at you like that.” “Then don’t look.” “What do you mean, ‘don’t look’? You’re standing right here. You look like someone left a trash can in the middle of the living room.” “Okay, look if you want. But I didn’t ask for your opinion about my clothes.” “So what if you didn’t ask? I don’t like what you’re wearing, and I’m telling you.” “Are you trying to solve your discomfort by making me change?” “What makes you say that?” “You’re the one who doesn’t like my clothes, but I’m the one who’s supposed to do something about it—dress differently, iron my shirt, make myself more pleasant for you to look at.” “Well… I’m not exactly telling you what to wear. Wear whatever you want. I’m just saying I don’t like it.” “Fair enough. I’ll wear what I want, and you can feel however you feel about it. I’m not asking you to change your feelings …More

The cunning deceptions of the Magisterium and the decrees of Popes Francis and Leo XIV to degrade Jesus and Mary, to cause the collapse of the Church before welcoming the Beast. 1) John 8:44: You are of your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he did not abide in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 2) The heresy “God Wills All Religions”: This is Politeism, this is paganism. The statement that God wants the diversity of religions is FALSE and that the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church is just one among many is an insult to the Redemption that Jesus carried out on the Cross for the salvation of all humanity, a reality that pope Francis obviously does not recognise and calls it God’s failure. 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)…More
1) Jan 8:44: Jesteście z waszego ojca, diabła, i chcecie spełniać pragnienia waszego ojca. On był mordercą od początku i nie trwał w prawdzie, bo nie ma w nim prawdy; kiedy mówi kłamstwo, mówi z własnej natury, bo jest kłamcą i ojcem kłamstwa. 2) Herezja „Bóg chce wszystkich religii”: To jest politeizm, to jest pogaństwo. Twierdzenie, że Bóg pragnie różnorodności religii, jest FAŁSZEM, a twierdzenie, że Jedyny, Święty, Katolicki i Apostolski Kościół jest tylko jednym spośród wielu, stanowi zniewagę wobec Odkupienia, którego Jezus dokonał na krzyżu dla zbawienia całej ludzkości – rzeczywistości, której papież Franciszek najwyraźniej nie uznaje i nazywa ją porażką Boga. a) J 14,6; Jezus rzekł do niego: „Ja jestem Drogą, Prawdą i Życiem. Nikt nie przychodzi do Ojca inaczej jak tylko przeze Mnie”. b) Dz 4,12; „Nie ma bowiem pod niebem żadnego innego imienia, dane ludziom, przez które moglibyśmy być zbawieni”. c) 1 Tm 2,5–6; Jest jeden Bóg, a także jeden Pośrednik między Bogiem a ludźmi, …More

The Five Laws of Human Stupidity Italian economic historian Carlo M. Cipolla took a hard look at the true nature of human stupidity. After years of research, he formulated five universal laws that apply to any society, organization, or group. The bottom line? Stupidity is inherently far more dangerous than we have ever given it credit for. Law #1: We always, inevitably, underestimate the number of stupid people in circulation. It sounds like a snobby generalization, but real life proves it true time and time again. No matter how good a judge of character you think you are, you will constantly run into two scenarios. First, someone who has always seemed rational and intelligent will suddenly reveal themselves to be an absolute idiot. Second, stupid people will pop up in the most unexpected places at the worst possible moments just to derail your plans. Law #2: The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person. Years of observation …More

' The devices are proving transformative for people with disabilities, but the ability to film strangers without their knowledge is raising concerns. Apart from a small, red recording light on the frame of some models, many people may not realise they’re being filmed. Experts warn the new wave of AI technology could be smart glasses with built-in facial recognition, which could access personal information and increase the risk of identity theft.'
On August 6, Pope Leo XIV appointed 15 new consultors to the Dicastery for Religious, headed by Prefect Sr Simona Brambilla. The new consultors comprise two bishops (Alfonso Vincenzo Amarante and Kevin Otieno Mwandha), five priests, including one abbot (Ignasi Fossas, Damián Astigueta, Maurizio Bevilacqua, Benjamin Earl and Flavien Mambueni), two religious brothers (Antoine Kazindu and Emili Turú), and six religious sisters (Chiara Lorenzato, Maria Nirmalini, María Rosaura González Casas, Mary Lembo, Patricia Murray and Maria do Disterro Rocha Santos). Leo XIV has again appointed liberal, synodal figures, illustrated by these four personnel choices. Less Uniformity in Liturgy, More Creativity Indian Sister Maria Nirmalini, A.C. was a member of the Synod on Synodality (2023) and hoped for “liturgical reform, particularly of the Mass with less emphasis on uniformity and more on creativity.” In the same VaticanNews.va interview she demanded “inclusion of women in all leadership/decision …More
Feast day of St. Philomena - August 11th. ~ Feast day of The Assumption - August 15th; declared an infallible dogma by Pope Pius X11 in 1950 through 'Munificentissimus.Deus'. ~ (The most bountiful God.)
Sadly, most Catholics are now "Conciliar Catholics." And since Conciliarism is an ever-evolving religion its tenets are constantly being updated. But make no mistake, Conciliarism is Satanically driven and Satan's ultimate goal is to destroy the Catholic Church. Faithful Catholics know that will never happen, but the authentic Catholic Church will suffer greatly as Rome moves further away from the truth through Synodality. And while the role of the SSPX is still unclear to many, all should recognize that it is the only priestly organization celebrating the TLM that adheres exclusively to the authentic teachings that pre-dated Vatican II. The most revealing clue as to its legitimacy, however, is that the SSPX is the only priestly organization that the Conciliarists in Rome regularly attack and work to destroy. There are relatively few Catholics who assist at the SSPX Masses, but as Jesus told us, when He returns He expects to find very few who have not loss their faith.
