Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of ’s-Hertogenbosch: “I do not have to spend very much time convincing this audience that there is a crisis. And indeed, if I were beginning by saying, ‘My dear friends, everything is going splendidly,’ I suspect that you would immediately check whether I have been replaced by an employee of the communications department of the Vatican. And perhaps this is already the first difficulty. Catholics today fall in two groups. There are those who think the Church is experiencing an unprecedented springtime and those who have actually looked at the statistics.”
Pervert Jesuit finally laicised after decades of abuse. The Society of Jesus has expelled Spanish priest Francesc Peris, 84, from both the clerical state and the Jesuit order. A canonical penal process found him guilty of sexually abusing minors over several decades. However, Peris is cared for in a Jesuit residence. The punishment was announced on October 5. It comes more than two years after Peris himself admitted abusing minors. On May 7, 2024, the Jesuits publicly disclosed that Peris had “recently” acknowledged sexually abusing minors as far back as 1972. Yet when questioned by secular authorities in a Barcelona criminal investigation in October 2024, he denied the particular allegation being investigated. Peris was never convicted by a Spanish criminal court. Proceedings against him were ultimately closed because the alleged offences were considered time-barred. Spanish media have identified more than 20 victims, both boys and girls, with allegations spanning more than three decades. …More
Irish bishop backs cancellation of country singer’s concert in Catholic church. Irish Bishop Kevin Doran of Achonry and Elphin has backed the cancellation of a Christmas concert by country singer Nathan Carter inside St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Boyle. He explained that churches are sacred spaces, not concert venues or “disco settings”: “The important thing is to preserve the nature of the church and the sanctuary as a sacred space,” he said. The December 13 concert had been approved by a previous parish priest. Tickets were already on sale. Then, the new parish priest cancelled the event after taking charge of the parish this autumn. The Diocese has rules governing concerts in churches. Music need not be strictly liturgical, but it should be spiritual in character and compatible with the sacred nature of the building. Carter whined he was “extremely disappointed” by the cancellation. #newsZipxsameec
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago said advocating for immigrants is an “act of divine worship” that “belongs to every single disciple of Jesus.” Speaking at Chicago’s “City of Welcome” event, he condemned “inhumane immigration enforcement” and opposed “indiscriminate mass deportation.” Cupich explicitly invoked “undocumented workers,” saying Christ is encountered in illegal immigrants.

“Quietly, rumors in Rome have suggested that a handful of would-be papal appointments, including a leading candidate for Gambetti’s former job, have actually cried off when asked to serve at the Vatican top table.”

Montagna said Leo had demonstrated that he was capable of overturning decisions made by Francis, but noted that the reversals so far had largely concerned administrative and financial matters. Montagna then asked whether the Pope would be prepared to make changes in areas she considered substantially more important. “Does Pope Leo have the light, the will, and the courage” to reverse the “draconian restrictions” imposed on the traditional liturgy through Traditionis Custodes and the “ongoing revolution” of the Synod on Synodality, she asked.
Leo XIV only reversed Francis' course on financial or administrative matters, not on matters much more important, such as liturgy or faith,' said Diane Montagna at the CIC.
The therapist looked at her carefully and said, “For just a moment, imagine that everything you complain about most suddenly disappeared from your life. Completely. No warning. It’s simply gone.” He paused, then continued. “You say, ‘I can’t handle these kids anymore.’ All right. Imagine waking up tomorrow and there are no children in your life. You say, ‘I hate my hair.’ Imagine you no longer have any. You say, ‘My job drives me crazy.’ Now imagine you’ve lost it and don’t know when the next paycheck is coming. You say, ‘My husband gets on my nerves.’ Imagine that tomorrow you are living without him. You complain about the heat. Imagine weeks of cold rain, icy wind, and gray skies instead. You say, ‘My house is always a mess.’ Imagine having no home at all.” Then he looked at her and asked quietly, “What do you feel when you picture those things being gone?” The woman said nothing. “You see,” he continued gently, “life is not shaped only by what happens to us. Much of our experience …More
Speaking at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on 3 October, Pentin said Leo “largely continues the post-conciliar revolution”, portraying the pontificate as one of continuity with Francis despite a noticeably different tone. “Pope Leo… is very much a continuity figure, continuing the post-conciliar course mapped out by Pope Francis,” Pentin said. Pentin acknowledged that Leo’s manner represented an improvement, but argued that the changes made so far were “largely symbolic and small scale”. Pentin also said he had “often heard in recent months in Rome” that people close to Leo “helped him get elected precisely so he might continue the revolution”.

Bishop James Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has revoked the faculties of Fr David Mary Engo who has associated himself with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), “He is not authorized to exercise public priestly ministry anywhere within the Diocese of Knoxville.” David Mary Engo was ordained a priest in 1997 by then-Bishop Seán P. O’Malley of Fall River, the future Cardinal of Boston. His religious and community status has a somewhat complicated history. He was incardinated into the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend in 2010, while simultaneously being excardinated from the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts. Engo founded a Franciscan community in 2009, professed perpetual vows, and served as the community’s Minister General. In May 2017, he resigned as Minister General and withdrew to a hermitage. By 2021, Engo was described by the Diocese of Knoxville’s newspaper as a Franciscan hermit living in the Diocese of Helena, Montana. Engo subsequently ministered in the Diocese of …More
On 24 November, the Vatican will publish The Private Diary of Pope Francis, drawn from notes Jorge Mario Bergoglio kept from 1992 to August 2024. They have been selected and commented upon by Cardinal Víctor Manuel “Tucho” Fernández, one of Francis’s closest collaborators. For someone who regards the Francis years as among the most bewildering and damaging periods of the modern papacy, the temptation to peer behind the curtain is irresistible. But how much will actually be revealed? At just 144 pages, distilled from more than thirty years of notes, are we getting Francis unfiltered—or Francis as curated by Fernández for posterity?
