Leo XIV Accepts Resignation of Peruvian Bishop – Accused of Homosexual Abuse

Today, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Italian born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 75, of Huacho, Peru. No successor was appointed.
The resignation follows allegations of homosexual misconduct. In April 2026, InfoVaticana.com had reported that complaints had been submitted to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima and to the Vatican, accusing Santarsiero of homosexually abusing a former minor seminarian and a priest who had served as his secretary.
As usual, Santarsiero has categorically denied all allegations.
The seminarian claimed Santarsiero subjected him to unwanted sexual contact and used promises of scholarships, employment, and opportunities within the diocese to exercise influence over him.
The former secretary to Santarsiero alleges that the bishop subjected him to unwanted physical contact and psychological manipulation. According to the dossier, the priest also claims Santarsiero attempted to discredit him by spreading claims about his sexual orientation after he rejected …More

Amnesty International Labelled Catholic Bishops’ Conference “Against Human Rights”

The controversial organisation Amnesty International UK published a report on 8 July listing the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales among 117 organizations it described as part of an “anti-rights movement” in the United Kingdom.
The report, A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, said the listed organizations formed an ecosystem seeking to undermine the rights of women and homosexuals.
It also named the Catholic Medical Association, Premier Christian News, J.K. Rowling’s women-only support service Beira’s Place, and a number of Christian, pro-life, and gender-critical organizations.
The report defined “anti-rights actors” as groups, individuals, and public or private bodies seeking to weaken human rights protections in law and practice.
The publication drew criticism from a number of the organizations named.
Two days after publication, Amnesty International UK withdrew the report. It said the document had been published without passing the organization's …More

Pope Pius XII excommunicates all communist Catholics | July 13, 1949 | HISTORY

On July 13, 1949, the Vatican releases its “Decree Against Communism” to the public. The Cold War-era edict, issued by Pope Pius XII on July 1, excommunicates all communist Catholics. As head of the Roman Catholic church through most of World War II and the first decade of the Cold War—and a fervent anti-Communist—Pius XII authorized the Holy Office to expel from the church any Catholic who joined or even collaborated with “godless” Communists. Franklin C. Gowen, the acting representative at Vatican City to the U.S. Secretary of State, wrote a letter dated July 15, 1949, describing his meeting with a Vatican representative named Giovanni Battista Montini, who discussed the pope’s decree. Montini described communism as the “irreconcilable enemy” of the Catholic church and all of Christianity. Since the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, with its classless, atheistic underpinnings, communism had posed a profound existential threat to Catholicism. Like his predecessors in the Vatican, Pius …

Fantastic article. Shame about the Vatican isn't it? I wonder why they did this, "Because the specific 1949 excommunication of communist Catholics was not incorporated into the 1983 Code, that automatic canonical penalty is no longer in effect." Ah make the Catholic Church safe for communists again!

Someone built a Chrome extension that fact-checks politicians while they're still talking.
It's called InTruth, made by a Reddit user as a research project on AI and deception.
Point it at a live debate, interview, or press conference.
It transcribes the speech in real time, pulls sources from the open web, then sends everything to Claude for a verdict.
True, misleading, or false tagged before the next sentence even starts.
No waiting for tomorrow's fact-check articles. No "we'll get back to you on that."
The lie gets caught in the same breath it's told.
That's insane lol.

Cardinal Müller Misrecites Latin during Ordination: On 4 July, during the ordination of three priests for the Institut du Bon Pasteur in Courtalain, France, Cardinal Müller said "manus" ("hand") instead of "munus" ("office" or "ministry"). The correct wording would have been: "...so that they may persevere in this office."

Cardinal Müller said "manus" instead of "munus.
Müller was supposed to say: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti munus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants with the dignity of the Priesthood; do Thou renew in their hearts the spirit of holiness, so that they may persevere in this office, which is next to ours in dignity, since they have received it from Thee, O God. May the example of their lives lead others to moral uprightness.”)
Instead, Müller actually said: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti manus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants …More

A few days ago, in a KTV interview regarding the FSSPX, he stated that it was a "liturgical impossibility" for the Superior General, as a priest, to preach before bishops during an episcopal ordination. And yet, he himself utters an incorrect term during the Consecration. Well, as long as no priest preached there, it certainly isn't a "liturgical impossibility" according to the Cardinal's definition....

"IF THOU wilt anything profit to the health of thy soul keep thee always in the dread of God, (and never desire to be full), at liberty, but keep thee always under some whole some discipline. Never give thyself to indiscreet mirth, for any manner of thing, as nigh as thou mayest. Have perfect compunction and sorrow for thy sins, and thou shalt find thereby great inward devotion."

‘OF COMPUNCTION OF THE HEART...…’ ~ ‘The Imitation of Christ’ ~ Thomas A Kempis; 1872; Book I; Chapters 21; pages 35; part I

[Thomas a Kempis – XIV-XV Century AD; born: Kempen, Holy Roman Empire/died: Zwolle, Holy Roman Empire; aged 90-91; Canon, Regular]
21. OF COMPUNCTION OF THE HEART.
IF THOU wilt anything profit to the health of thy soul keep thee always in the dread of God,
(and never desire to be full), at liberty, but keep thee always under some whole some discipline. Never give thyself to indiscreet mirth, for any manner of thing, as nigh as thou mayest. Have perfect compunction and sorrow for thy sins, and thou shalt find thereby great inward devotion. Compunction openeth to the sight of the soul many good things, which lightness of heart and vain mirth soon driveth away. It is marvel that any man can be merry in this life, if he consider well how far he is exiled out of his country, and how great peril his soul daily standeth in: but through lightness of heart and negligence of our defaults we feel not the sorrow of our own soul : but oftentimes we laugh when we ought rather to weep and mourn, for …More
