Today, Leo XIV has appointed Father Emilio Biosca Agüero, 61, as the new bishop of Venice, Florida. Biosca's parents are both Cuban. He speaks Spanish and Tok Pisin. The Venice diocese covers most of southwest Florida. Monsignor Biosca is a member of the Pittsburgh-based Capuchin Franciscan Friars. He served for over two decades in Papua New Guinea (1994-2006) and Cuba (2007-2019). His public profile is almost entirely defined by immigration ministry. Since 2019, he has been the pastor at the parish of the Sacred Heart in Washington, D.C., one of the city's historic immigrant parishes located five kilometres from the White House. The congregation is predominantly Latino, particularly Salvadoran, but also includes Haitians, Brazilians and Vietnamese Catholics. Under Fr Biosca, the parish expanded ministries for illegal immigrants well beyond pastoral care, including immigrant accompaniment, attending court hearings, legal support, covering rent and legal fees. Several of his parishioners …بیشتر
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is an end in itself," Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, told OsvNews.com on 11 May during a trip to the USA. "Any attempt to instrumentalise the Gospel for a subsidiary purpose, whether cultural, ideological or political, is suspect." He warned against "any attempt to brandish Christianity void of the message and presence of the Wounded and Risen One". And: "Any presentation of Christianity that abstracts the scandal of the Cross, or that uses the Cross perversely as a weapon with which to strike others, is veering towards heresy or even blasphemy." However, the main focus of the interview is psychology, not religion. Some of his main points are: - absolutizing our own experience - immersed in my own experience - the drama of my existence - learn to live with my wound - being wounded is the human norm - a remembrance of healing - living enclosed in ourselves - shut myself off - a new way of being human - a human life is a drawn-out affair Picture: …بیشتر
What ever you did to least of my brethren you did to me. Corporal and spiritual acts of mercy its all in the Baltimore catechism . Stop the navel gazing
So BXVI can resign throw in the towel .SSPX is doing opposite digging in and holding the faith of our fathers. One thought VII is ok the other sees the modernism VII for what it is a snake
Nothing regarding this confrontation is a joke. It is setting in motion a terrible persecution. We must be braced for impact! I would''t say gliub things about it. But try, humbly, to keep the Roman Catholic Faith! Try sitting up in the front some time, just to change things up! God bless you!
Today, Leo XIV has appointed Auxiliary Bishop Michele Autuoro, 59, of Naples as the new Metropolitan Archbishop of Benevento, Italy. He was mentored by the pro-homosexual Cardinal Domenico Battaglia of Naples, who is famous for washing the feet of homosexuals and allowing liturgies including transvestites. "Todos, todos, todos" Talking to LaPorzione.it in November 2024, Monsignor Autuoro praised the Francis’ Church. Some quotes from this interview: - “The Church is a great construction site — the construction site of the Synod.” - “The Synod is not a conclusion, it is only a beginning.” - “There is a great desire for change.” - “The Church has only one mission: to reach everyone.” - “The Church is a banquet offered to all peoples, where everyone must sit and no one must be excluded.” Migration / anti-border rhetoric During his time as director of Missio (2013–2018), he campaigned in favour of illegal immigration and criticised "walls and closed borders".

Today, Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, issued a statement on the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The text reads: “Regarding the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, we reiterate what has already been communicated. The episcopal ordinations announced by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X do not have the corresponding papal mandate. This act constitutes ‘a schismatic act’ (John Paul II, Ecclesia Dei, n. 3) and ‘formal adherence to schism constitutes a grave offense against God and entails the excommunication established by the law of the Church’ (ibid., 5c; cf. Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Explanatory Note, August 24, 1996). The Holy Father continues to pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten those responsible for the Priestly Fraternity of Sts Pius X so that they may reconsider the their grave decision.” #newsTtiovyfbhg
If God wills a diversity of religions, why are they persecuting Catholicism, and allowing persecution of Catholics around the world and the burning of churches?
Neither did the episcopal consecrations of 1988 have episcopal approval, and yet Benedict lifted the excommunication of the four bishops without their repenting. So, were the four bishops, and Archbisops Lefebvre and Mayer, really in the wrong? If so, why lift the excommunication, Benedict? If not, why worry about a coming excommunication? What makes sense in the Church these days? Yogi Berra said, "In baseball, you don't know nothing." It's pretty much like that in the modern Church.
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes New report shows the UK is poorer than every state in the United States A study by the Institute of Economic Affairs found that the UK's GDP per capita ranks 51st when compared to individual US states This means the UK is poorer than every single US state in terms of GDP This is a sharp contract to a public perception survey, where voters guessed the UK would rank 7th among US states They’re just digging themselves deeper and deeper with immigration and welfare for their immigrants
Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, has renewed a 2018 directive requiring the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to be recited after Eucharists across the Archdiocese. The instruction was included in a May 12 pastoral letter published on ArchdPdx.org The prayer should be said “after the conclusion of every Mass celebrated in the archdiocese,” describing it as part of a spiritual response to challenges facing the Church. The “Mission Renewal” initiative includes consecration of the archdiocese to the Sacred Heart, novenas, Eucharistic processions, fasting and penance, and works of mercy. Explaining the reason for the prayer, Archbishop Sample wrote that “Satan seeks to divide, disrupt and interfere,” adding that united prayer against “the enemy” is crucial for renewal efforts. #newsIchjizaoee

Attempted assassination of Saint Pope John Paul II On 13 May 1981, in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, Pope John Paul II was shot and wounded by Mehmet Ali Ağca while he was entering the square. The Pope was struck twice and suffered severe blood loss. Ağca was apprehended immediately and later sentenced to life in prison by an Italian court. The Pope forgave Ağca for the assassination attempt. He was pardoned by Italian president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi at the Pope's request and was deported to Turkey in June 2000. On 13 May, Ağca was sitting in the square, writing postcards and waiting for the Pope to arrive. When the Pope passed through a crowd of supporters, Ağca fired four shots at 17:17 with a 9mmBrowning Hi-Powersemi-automatic pistol, and seriously wounded him. He fled the scene as the crowd was in shock and disposed of the pistol by throwing it under a truck, but was grabbed by Vatican security chief Camillo Cibin, a nun, and several spectators who prevented him from …بیشتر

The Pope himself... The video was translated and narrated by Rask. 10-Minute Biographies
Discouragement is the deep spiritual valley of our age. For Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the Holy Spirit’s light came only at dawn in a long dark night of the soul.
Not very smart nor charitable. Another example of legal positivism that is a residue from the Begoglian epoch. If you hold an ecclesial office you don't need justification for rules. Like the kid who asks his father: Why ? and the old man answers: Because I said so.
