The Puerto Rican bishops adopted one of the world's most restrictive implementations of Traditionis Custodes (2021), ending all Masses in the Roman rite on the island. Hard-line COVID vaccine policy In August 2021, Bishop Ramos signed the Puerto Rican bishops' pastoral instruction declaring that COVID vaccination was a "moral duty", that Catholic conscience objections were not recognized, and that priests and deacons were forbidden from issuing religious exemption letters …More
Vaccine Mafia: Pfizer's Former Chief Toxicologist Proves How Toxic Substances Were Unlawfully Sold to Us as a Solution for COVID-19 Former Pfizer chief toxicologist Helmut Sterz presents a critical examination of the development, approval, and global rollout of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines—particularly those produced by Pfizer/BioNTech. The Vaccine Mafia details the failure of pharmaceutical companies, regulatory authorities, politicians, and international organizations to follow established scientific and ethical standards during the pandemic. Drawing on the author’s decades of experience in pharmaceutical toxicology, Sterz reveals the many ways the vaccines’ inadequate or omitted preclinical safety testing put the world’s population at risk. Vaccine Mafia: Pfizer's Former Chief … Sterz demonstrates how “emergency” approvals allowed manufacturers to bypass long-standing international guidelines governing toxicity testing, especially with regard to reproductive and cancer risks. They also …More
In Italy, the Knives Are Out for the World’s Oldest Bank nytimes.com/…ss/dealbook/italy-oldest-bank-takeov… Founded in 1472, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena has survived wars, pandemics and By Bernhard Warner Visuals by Patrick Junker Reporting from Siena, Italy Aug. 1, 2026 Leer en español Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena is the world’s oldest bank. It has survived the rise and fall of the Medici, regional and world wars and its own near-death experiences — including a 5.4-billion-euro bailout in 2017 and a derivatives scandal that made the lender a byword for mismanagement. But under Luigi Lovaglio, the chief executive, who was recruited by the Italian government in 2022 to engineer a turnaround, Monte dei Paschi has grown into one of Europe’s healthiest financial institutions. Now, it’s a takeover target. Sitting in Palazzo Salimbeni, the bank’s fortresslike 14th-century headquarters in Siena’s historic center, Mr. Lovaglio reflected last week on the bank’s latest challenge. The …More
CONVERSATION WITH AI ON X ON LIONEL ANDRADES' CHANNEL. PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS A ROUGH COPY. Today Vatican II Rational Reading Supports SSPX Lionel Leslie Andrades Vatican Council II supports the traditionalists, the newspapers must note: apology due to the SSPX 06.08.2026 Vatican Council II supports the traditionalists, the newspapers must note: apology due to the SSPX Yesterday I posted an e-mail to the editor of the daily Il Messaggero, Rome, telling him that the media reports on Vatican Council II are irrational and not rational, dishonest and not honest, political and non apostolic and non magisterial. They are schismatic. I mentioned that when Vatican Council II is interpreted rationally it is dogmatic, ecclesiocentric and traditional and this was not told to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston. They were allowed to remain excommunicated even though the Council was ecclesiocentric. Pope Benedict, Pope Francis and Pope Leo have not disclosed this …More

The Tangled Tale of the Tate Brothers Over the past decade, the Tate brothers have built a global empire around pornography, hypermasculinity and overt misogyny. At the same time, they have been repeatedly accused of assaulting and trafficking women.

Megan Twohey, who has been covering the story, explains just how important those alliances became and why they are now starting to unravel.

Pope Leo has appointed Bishop Eusebio Ramos Morales of Caguas as the Archbishop of San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2024, this bishop allowed the Bishop of Mayagüez—67-year-old Ángel Luis Ríos Matos—to mock Cardinal Raymond Burke during a conference on "synodality" held on September 8 in the Diocese of Caguas. Referring to Francis, Msgr. Ríos spoke against the "liturgical vestments" and "lace" that Francis himself uses. He projected images of Cardinal Burke wearing a cardinal's hat and a *cappa magna*. Msgr. Ríos said: "Look how beautiful this is. I should have covered his face—for those who know him." The bishop encouraged the audience to "laugh," and he joined in the laughter himself. Ríos then addressed Bishop Eusebio Ramos, who was present at the talk and joined in the mockery. Jokingly, Bishop Ríos said: "Don't you have one of those capes, Eusebio?" The audience and Bishop Ríos laughed again. Bishop Ríos continued his act, suggesting: "As a Synod gift, they should have a cape made for …More
Novus Ordo Goes to the Dogs: On 26 June, a video of a Eucharistic celebration at the Santo Domingo Savio parish in Villavicencio, Colombia, went viral after two dogs started howling along with Rev. Carlos Mario Peña Lopera as he sang a hymn. The dogs, Simón and Luna, are strays that the priest took in and who now regularly accompany him at Eucharists, often sitting near the altar.

I love dogs and have/had several as pets - but they DO NOT belong at Holy Mass (guide dogs - who care for those with various ailments & are trained to behave - excepted).
