WOW, just Wow!!! When I visited Rome a decade ago you had to have "tickets" to attend papal Masses or liturgies but these were always obtained for FREE to avoid the charge of simony! Now the "merciful" modernists of the Vatican have shown their true colors by turning God's House into a den of thieves!
2 Peter 2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep. Prevost promotes a false gospel of perdition while living as a parasite on Catholics' money. That is where the simony begins.
Every 29 June, within St Peter’s Basilica, one of the most striking Catholic traditions returns. The vesting of the statue of Saint Peter, including the cope and the tiara.
On 27 June, Bishop Czesław Kozon of Copenhagen, Denmark, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation according to the Roman Rite at the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) apostolate in Recklinghausen, Germany.

Russia needs to back away from trump. Once and for all. The rat rubio made it well known that they are on the side of nazi's. And always has been when he said, we are not intermediators! So all those talks were nothing more than deceptions to trick Putin into thinking there will finally be peace! It has always been President Putin to seek out peace. Once the first treaty was signed, the US and other countries told zelensky to tear them up once again! Signing papers with Russia and tearing them up. Why sign them in the first place? Why pretend? To give hope to Russia there will be peace? These people are sick and sadistic. There will be no peace anywhere. Not in Iran nor Russia, nor any where else. Get over it Putin, you are alone against dozens of countries who seek the destruction of the human race. Russia is at the top of it's list. They can build all the armies they want, Russia will win in the end. In more than one way. That's a guarantee from Heaven!
The implementation phase of the synod “will mark a new stage in the reception of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Mario Grech warned the consistory on Saturday. He is a Cardinal and the Vatican's Secretary of the Synod. His lengthy speech, which was around 3,000 words long, was published on Zenit.org. Much of it was repetitive, focusing on buzzwords such as listening, discernment, communion, participation, the 'exchange of gifts', implementation, and 'conversation in the Spirit'. In terms of density of ideas, the speech was low. The essential message was • the Synod is not over. • implementation is the real work. • synodality should become part of the Church's ordinary life. • this is the next stage of Vatican II. Two key sentences were: "The discernment of the signs of the times, ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, and the commitment to justice and peace become measures of the Church's diakonia." "In this way, the implementation phase becomes a new stage in the reception …མང་བ།
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; born/died: Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] St. Joseph never saw his holy spouse asleep. He did not know, from his own experience, whether she slept at all. Her place of rest was the little bed made by the saint. It had . two coverings, between which she was accustomed to place herself to take a brief and light repose. The under garment of the august Mary was a tunic or chemise, but little softer than woolen stuff. She never left it off, except when it was worn, nor soiled it, and no one in the world saw it, not even St. Joseph. In all her works, and in whatever she did for St. Joseph, the greatest cleanliness was observed. Before St. Joseph was informed of the mystery of the Incarnation, our blessed Lady, at certain times when he was not occupied, used to read to him from the Holy Scriptures, particularly from David and the Prophets. She explained them like an experienced instructress, and her holy spouse questioned her on many …མང་བ།
"The faithful and happy St. Joseph was all enkindled by divine love in these gracious conversations, and, shedding tears of joy, he cried out: “Is it indeed possible that I shall see my God and Redeemer within you chaste arms ?— that I shall adore Him there ?—that I shall hear His sweet voice ?—that I shall touch Him ?— that my eyes shall see His divine face ?—that the sweat of my brow shall be employed in His service, and for His support ?—that we shall speak and converse with Him? Whence comes to me such bliss as none could ever have deserved? Why have I not rich treasures, that I might lay them at His feet ?”"
Italian Secular Press Features Roman Mass: Today's front page of Il Giornale gives prominence to the Mass in the Roman rite. Nico Spuntoni reports on growing concern within the Consistory over the situation of the FSSPX, with the headline: "The Lefebvrist Rift That Alarms the Consistory." Alongside it, editor-in-chief Tommaso Cerno devotes his editorial to the place of Latin in the Church, arguing under the title "Why the Future Speaks Latin" that the long-held assumption that Latin belongs only to the past deserves to be reconsidered.
Il direttore de Il Giornale, Tommaso Cerno, ha dedicato grande risalto in prima pagina alla Messa tradizionale in latino e all'articolo del corrispondente vaticano Nico Spuntoni sulle crescenti preoccupazioni interne nei concistori riguardo alla situazione della Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X (SSPX).
The Pope seeks discernment, but revelation ended with the death of St. John. The Holy Spirit assists us in living that revelation. It is the demonic spirits who provide new inspiration.
Sat Jun 27, 2026 - 2:34 pm EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV opened his second extraordinary consistory of cardinals on Friday in which he insisted that the Lord is leading the Church via “synodality” so that she can “grow in communion,” according to a report by Vatican journalist Edward Pentin. The Pontiff encouraged the 178 cardinals to “engage wholeheartedly” in a synodal, working group structure, adding that he was “well aware that, for many of us, this is not the usual way of conducting a consistory,” Pentin said in his EWTN News report. “I count on you to help me discern what the Spirit is saying to the Church today. I need your support: strong, explicit, and public,” Leo said in his opening remarks on Friday. “I need to feel sustained by you as brothers.” “The pope’s comments came after some cardinals had expressed apprehensions about the consistory using a ‘synodal’ round-table format for a second time — a structure they felt was ‘very controlled’ when …
18-Day-Old Baby Rescued from Earthquake Rubble: An 18-day-old baby was rescued alive from the rubble of a collapsed building in La Guaira, Venezuela, about 32 hours after the devastating earthquakes struck.

World Cup Viewing Inside a Madrid Church: The church of San Antón in Madrid has started showing Spain’s World Cup matches inside the church, with TV screens set up among the pews so that visitors and parishioners can watch the games. This initiative was promoted by Rev. Ángel García. He said that the broadcasts will continue for as long as Spain remains in the tournament.
La iglesia de San Antón, en Madrid, se ha convertido en una sala de televisión para seguir el Mundial. Impulsada por el Padre Ángel, la iniciativa retransmite los partidos de España dentro del templo y continuará mientras la selección siga en el torneo.
Louise Sighouin, the daughter of a Coeur d'Alene chief, embraced the Catholic faith after being baptized by Jesuit missionary Father Pierre-Jean de Smet in 1842, following the arrival of missionaries invited by Indigenous communities seeking Christian teaching. Known for her generosity and wisdom even before her conversion, she became a devoted catechist who taught the faith, cared for the sick, encouraged others, and helped spread Christianity among her people. De Smet regarded her as an extraordinary example of Indigenous Christian holiness, believing that her life reflected the transforming power of the Gospel despite the missionaries' language and cultural challenges. She remained a respected evangelizer until her death in 1853, leaving a lasting legacy within the Coeur d'Alene Catholic community.
Here's the "Great Conversion Story of Louise Sighouin" from the Magnificat and written by John Janaro. He's an associate professor emeritus of theology at Christendom College. His blog can be found here. Sadly, this kind of evangelizing story can no longer be publicly told. Conversion to Christianity has become something negative. It's now associated with white supremacy, colonization and oppression. In Canada, the early Jesuit martyrs have been pretty much forgotten. Their story of spreading the Gospel to the Indigneous peoples of Canada is politically incorrect and often edited if told. We must not commit the woke "sin" of cultural appropriation. Nevetheless, here's the inspiring story of Louise Sighouin. In this series, we have already heard something of the mid 19th century missionary journeys of Father Pierre-Jean de Smetand his Jesuit confreres, who came from Belgium and France to Missouri beginning in 1823. At that time, Missouri was the frontier of the rapidly expanding United …
Leo XIV intends to visit Peru during the first half of November, Peruvian President José María Balcázar announced following a private audience with the Pope. Peru would be the centerpiece of a broader South American tour that may also include Argentina and Uruguay. Although the Vatican has not yet published an official itinerary, Balcázar said Leo XIV personally confirmed that he plans to be in Peru in November. The proposed itinerary would include Lima, Chiclayo, Piura, Pucallpa and Cusco, with additional visits to Puno and Iquitos also under consideration. The visit could last between eight and ten days. Balcázar said Peru has offered helicopters to assist the Pope in reaching remote towns in northern Peru and the Amazon region, reflecting his desire to visit as many local communities as possible. Argentina, the homeland of Francis, was never visited by him during his thirteen years as pope. A visit by Leo XIV would mark the first papal trip to Argentina since 1987. In Uruguay, …མང་བ།
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; born: Agreda, Spain/died: Agreda, Spain; ‘Lady in Blue’; Abess; Writer; Mystic] 97. Just as all this was a great joy and happiness for the good angels, so it was a great torment for the evil spirits. It was to the latter a part and the beginning of their punishment. For they saw at once, that having failed to profit by this sign, they were to be conquered and crushed by it (3, 15). All these mysteries, and many others, which I cannot explain, the Evangelist wished to comprehend in this chapter, and include in that great sign; although for us it will remain obscure and enigmatic until the proper time arrives. 98. The sun, which is mentioned as clothing the Woman, is the true Sun of Justice. The angels were to understand by it, that the Most High was to remain with this Woman by his grace in order to overshadow and defend Her by the protection of his invincible right hand. The moon was beneath her feet; for as the two planets, the sun and the …མང་བ།
"99. The crown of twelve stars are evidently all the virtues, with which that Queen of heaven and earth was to be adorned. But the mystery of its being composed of twelve stars has reference to the twelve tribes of Israel, by which all the elect and the predestined are designated, as is mentioned in the seventh chapter of the Apocalypse by the Evangelist (Apoc. 7,4). And since the gifts, graces and virtues of all the elect were to crown their Queen in a most eminent and exalted degree, a crown of twelve stars was placed around her head."
"98. The sun, which is mentioned as clothing the Woman, is the true Sun of Justice. The angels were to understand by it, that the Most High was to remain with this Woman by his grace in order to overshadow and defend Her by the protection of his invincible right hand. The moon was beneath her feet; for as the two planets, the sun and the moon, divide night and day, therefore the moon, being the symbol of the darkness of sin, is beneath her feet, and the sun, being the symbol of the light of grace, clothes Her for all eternity."
The former Ivrea Bishop Luigi Bettazzi, 99, Italy, the last European participant in Vatican II, has died on July 16. He was loved by the oligarchs' media for his anti-Catholic positions. Francis called him an “intrepid witness to the Council.” Bettazzi was one of 42 bishops who signed a 1965 pact in the Roman Domitilla catacomb, promising to live "poorly." In November 2022, he admitted to "subverting the Church's position on abortion," assuming that the embryo was not a person. The coffin at Bettazzi's funeral was covered with a “peace flag” in rainbow colours (LaNuovaBq.it, July 19). #newsQqyerlajky
Found this quote on a flag manufacturer's website: "A flag isn’t just a flag. It’s the identity of a country’s people and a representation of its culture." So for a "prince of the Church" to have his coffin draped in this particular flag - and NOT something with Christian meaning - says a lot about him (or those charged with honoring him in death). I'm reminded on an related incident. A modernist priest from a religious order died and his body was displayed in the community's chapel following the order's custom of having the deceased in habit & holding a Rosary in his hands. Many people commented that they didn't recognize him since he never appeared that way while living!
They are still planning a coup in Russia. They are building up their armies. But in the end, they will all fail. They can't kill nor replace Putin so they are getting angrier. When GOD puts someone in control of anything or anywhere. NO MAN CAN WIN! Especially with The Blessed Mother looking over them. Never forget nothing is a coincidence with GOD! Remember the promise from Heaven and the day Putin was born. "OUR LADY OF VICTORY!"
GOD has shown us many signs on trump and who he truly is and his true intentions. His supporters refused to see them. When GOD reveals who Putin is and all the good he does and is given him from Heaven, the Putin and Russian haters refuse to see the good in him and to him from HEAVEN! What a mixed up world we live in. People see good as evil and evil as good. Just as we were warned. I see it everyday. And some even quote what evil people say against Russia. Once again taking the side of evil and their word. Ignoring the signs from Heaven!
