Rev. Alfons Gea, a Catalan priest and cousin of Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, has appeared to confirm the sexual nature of allegations against the 74-year-old Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Cardinal López, a Spanish-born Salesian, is a prominent supporter of Pope Francis’s agenda, was appointed Archbishop of Rabat in 2017 and a cardinal in 2019. On Monday, he announced that he would temporarily withdraw from public celebrations and pastoral ministry while the Vatican conducts a preliminary investigation into allegations involving at least five adult women. He has admitted to “inappropriate behaviour” but denies committing sexual assault, violence, or harassment. ElPaís.com has described the allegations as sexual abuse, rather than merely inappropriate hugs or gestures. Writing for Exaudi.org, Rev. Gea said his cousin had already begun privately accepting the possible consequences: “The image of a papabile, a figure who enjoyed such widespread affection, has come crashing down." And: …Mwy
First Canadian Town Grants Trees a 'Right to Life': On 9 June, the town of Terrasse-Vaudreuil in Quebec, home to around 2,000 people, became the first place in Canada to adopt a resolution enshrining the 'rights' of trees. The resolution includes rights such as the right to life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration. Mayor Michel Bourdeau said the initiative was inspired by filmmaker André Desrochers and his film 'Des arbres et des arts'. Meanwhile, around 30,000 human beings are aborted in Quebec each year, and more than 100,000 in Canada as a whole. Since its legalisation in 2016, more than 100,000 Canadians have died through euthanasia (MAID).

Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry. In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one." That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers. #newsYvdpsotlwj
Your Heart Determines Your Eternal Family The true measure of being a child of God is not just baptism, but striving to do God’s will, as exemplified by the woman in the first reading. This striving involves living out our baptismal vows, seeking God’s will, and serving others with charity. God desires a genuine relationship with us, and this is achieved through our efforts to align our lives with His will, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Fr.

At a moment when Rome has demonstrated uncompromising resolve in disciplining the SSPX, it simultaneously promotes a bishop publicly associated with some of the most contentious elements of the German reform movement. Appointments are one of the principal ways a Pope governs. They are never merely administrative. They reveal priorities.
Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Christian Würtz, 55, as Bishop of Eichstätt, Germany. Leo XIV again chose a canon lawyer. A native of Karlsruhe, he originally studied law at Heidelberg University before entering the seminary. He holds two doctorates - one in both civil and canon law (doctor iuris utriusque) and another in theology. He also served as rector of Freiburg's seminary. At 48, he was the youngest bishop in Germany when he was ordained auxiliary bishop of Freiburg in 2019. At 55, he now becomes the youngest diocesan bishop in Germany. Part of the "Rainbow" Faction Among Bishops In September 2022, Monsignor Würtz voted "yes" at the German Synodal Way for the controversial document on the Doctrinal Reassessment of Homosexuality. The document argued that homosexual orientation is "not self-chosen and ... cannot be changed," and that homosexual Catholics should be accepted without reservation. He also voted yes for the document "Dealing with Gender Diversity." It asked bishops …Mwy
Archbishop Georg Gänswein hopes the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite will be lifted, he told Il Giornale on July 7. Looking back to Benedict XVI's 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, Monsignor Gänswein said the Pope wanted to restore “full rights to a rite that had never been abolished”: “His goal was to give it its rightful place again within the Church and to restore peace in the Church's liturgical life.” According to Archbishop Gänswein, Summorum Pontificum was not conceived as a step toward reconciliation with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Rather, “it was directed toward the Church itself.” Benedict XVI was pleased with the results of this reform. “It was beginning to bear fruit. It worked especially well among young people, and this is evident above all in the steadily growing numbers participating each year in the Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage.” Monsignor Gänswein added that these young people are not opposed to the Second Vatican Council: “Anyone who …Mwy
Benedict XVI's former secretary Georg Ganswein has spoken out on the restrictions imposed on the Latin Mass under Traditionis Custodes, saying that the time has come 'to lift those restrictions and move beyond the setback represented by that text'
In the historic centre of Turin, Italy, stands the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi. In the sixteenth century, the church temporarily safeguarded the Shroud of Turin, after its transfer from Chambéry. Is is an active church in the Archdiocese of Turin, with regular Masses and the Blessed Sacrament reserved. Since spring 2020, however, the church has also served as the regular place of worship for the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Turin. The Lutheran congregation is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Italy (CELI) and has administrative offices elsewhere in the city, but no church of its own. This arrangement is permanent. During the installation of Pastor Tobias Brendel in September 2022, which took place in the Catholic church, a Catholic deacon symbolically presented the new pastor with a set of keys. The Lutheran community said that this recognised the relationship of trust that had developed since the shared use of the church began in 2020. This appears to have been …Mwy
... while leaving untouched those who proclaim a worldview that is totally incompatible with the Sacred Tradition of the Church. At Fatima, the Blessed Mother warned Sister Lucia that the final battle would be over marriage and the family. When we look at our world today, we can see how true that warning was: Marriage, the family, the innocence of children, and even the meaning of man and woman are all under assault. But this battle did not begin in our own time. To understand it, we have to go back to Sacred Scripture, to Sodom and Gomorrah. For many years there has been an effort to redefine the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some have claimed that the cities were destroyed merely because they lacked hospitality. Certainly, hospitality was a sacred duty in the ancient world, but that explanation simply does not do justice to what the Scriptures actually tell us. When the angels came to Sodom and entered Lot’s home, the men of the city surrounded the house and demanded that the visitors …Mwy

International Media Report on Diocese's Sponsorship of Villach Pride US and French media are reporting on the local news that the Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt in Austria served as one of the official sponsors (!) of the first homosexual parade (Pride) in Villach. The march included people wearing dog masks, a communist flag, and a sign reading, “Jesus had two fathers — why not us?”

On June 26, the Archdiocese of Chicago, ruined by Cardinal Blase Cupich, dedicated a memorial for suiciders. The memorial, titled "At Peace," is located at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. According to the Archdiocese, it is the first memorial established by a Catholic archdiocese in the United States specifically for suiciders. The Vicar General, auxiliary Bishop Lawrence Sullivan, said in a June 24 statement that the memorial was created to "honor the lives lost to suicide". And: "Historically, the Catholic Church denied Catholic funerals in churches and burials in consecrated ground for individuals who died by suicide. The Church has undergone a significant transformation in its understanding of suicide and mental illness and now recognizes that many who die by suicide suffer from mental illness and unbearable pain. The Church now embraces these individuals and affirms that they are with God, not condemned." #newsBdkpdqzsck
It gets weird: Father Davide Cito, professor of canon law at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome: "although the Orthodox churches are not in full communion with Rome, they are not currently in a state of formal schism comparable to that of the Society of St. Pius X."

I have an idea that may solve all our problems. Since this has become the equivalent of a WWF high profile wrestling match, let's play it out with a "Loser Leave Town" cage match where Cdls. Burke, Muller, Zuppi, Fernandez, Cupich, Tobin, McElroy fight it out. The losers must "leave town", resign their position and the winner is excommunicated! I'd buy tickets to that one
1) The Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church will be defiled and handed over to antichrist by the False prophet as it was foretold in the Holy Scriptures. John 19:22; What is Written is Written. a) Revelation 13:11-12; Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb’s, but it spoke like a serpent. It exercises all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, causing the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast. b) 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4; Let no one deceive you in any way. First, the apostasy must come, and the lawless one must be revealed—the Son of Perdition, the Adversary who exalts himself above everything that is called God or is worshiped, to the point of sitting in God’s sanctuary and proclaiming that he himself is God. c) Revelation 11:1-4; Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Get up and measure the sanctuary of God and the altar, and those who worship there. Leave out the outer court of the sanctuary; do not …Mwy

Jan 19:22; Co jest napisane, to jest napisane. a) Objawienie 13:11-12; Potem ujrzałem inną bestię, wychodzącą z ziemi. Miała dwa rogi podobne do rogów baranka, ale mówiła jak wąż. Wykorzystuje ona całą władzę pierwszej bestii w jej imieniu, zmuszając ziemię i jej mieszkańców do oddawania czci pierwszej bestii. b) 2 List do Tesaloniczan 2:3–4; Niech nikt was w żaden sposób nie zwodzi.
