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. According to Rev. Peña Lopera, Luna had not previously joined in the howling alongside Simón. The priest continued the hymn without interruption.
Dos perros que acompañaban al sacerdote durante la eucaristía protagonizaron un inesperado momento al unirse, a su manera, a los cantos de la misa.
I love dogs and have 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).
The Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, Spain, has distanced itself on August 5 from comments by one of its priests after he called for the "reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity" following the invasion into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a statement, the archdiocese said Rev. Javier Aizpún's remarks were "strictly personal opinions" that "neither represent nor are shared in any way by this diocesan Church." The controversy stemmed from a post on X.com in which Aizpún, parish priest of San Juan Evangelista in Huarte and a canon of Pamplona Cathedral, wrote: "May Our Lady of Africa, patron saint of Ceuta, inspire the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. May we finish what Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone." In subsequent posts, he also called for Spain to "bombard Rabat" and "open fire if necessary" in response to the mass crossing of invaders into Ceuta. Archbishop Florencio Roselló sought an explanation from Rev. Aizpún, describing the …Meira
This priest should really have known how offensive his remarks were. Apparently he was under the impression that he was a priest in the Catholic Church where Jesus Christ ordered His followers to “go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. No. He’s a Conciliarist! What is absolutely amazing, though, is that Conciliarists who call themselves Catholic, are so indoctrinated they believe the SSPX is schismatic.
Confusion? Distress??? Dear Lady we beg for the conversion of the invaders of Ceuta, and especially of their masters who are using this invasion to punish Spain, who dared to speak out against the genocide of Palestinians.
Islam - är det slut i Amerika med kristna värderingar? www.youtube.com/watch Politiska beslut i många länder förbjuder kritisera islam och dem som säger något negativ, kan bli straffat. Men det är inte problem. Problem är att islamisera Europa ingår i politiska beslut att rensa Europa från kristedomen. Lyssna, vad en kvinna kämpar för att sanningom islam kan komma fram och rädda värden från islamisk diktatur.
Oh, but but,... all the novus ordo clergy don't need Latin at all. What do they need Latin for? Plus, even the demons hate the sacred Latin of the Church—especially its prayers, Gregorian chant, and above all the solemn rite of exorcism.

Erkebispedømmet Pamplona og Tudela i Spania tok 5. august avstand fra uttalelser fra en av sine prester, etter at han hadde oppfordret til «gjenerobring av Marokko og dets omvendelse til kristendommen» i kjølvannet av invasjonen av den spanske enklaven Ceuta. I en uttalelse sa erkebispedømmet at presten Javier Aizpúns uttalelser var «rent personlige meninger» som «verken representerer eller på noen måte deles av denne bispedømskirken». Kontroversen oppsto etter et innlegg på X.com der Aizpún, sogneprest i San Juan Evangelista i Huarte og kanoniker ved katedralen i Pamplona, skrev: «Må Vår Frue av Afrika, Ceutas skytshelgen, inspirere til gjenerobringen av Marokko og dets omvendelse til kristendommen. Måtte vi fullføre det dronning Isabella den katolske lot stå ufullført.» I påfølgende innlegg oppfordret han også Spania til å «bombe Rabat» og «åpne ild om nødvendig» som svar på den massive strømmen av inntrengere inn i Ceuta. Erkebiskop Florencio Roselló ba om en forklaring fra pastor …Meira
Ceuta Immigrants Are "Saints": Spanish priest Fr Ángel García, founder of the charity Mensajeros de la Paz, described invaders in Ceuta as "saints" because they had remained calm in difficult circumstances. Speaking to laSexta television in Ceuta on August 3, the priest said that many people would have reacted violently in the same circumstances, but the invaders were peacefully waiting for an opportunity to enter the reception centre. His remarks contrast with reports of unrest, including incidents of looting, violence and the carrying of machetes.
In the Moroccan invasion of Ceuta, people with katanas, jihadists, and all kinds of criminals have entered, but for "Father Ángel," they are true "saints."
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher wrote. "It is the sacrament at the heart of our …Meira
Kardinal Raymond Leo Burke har opfordret katolikkerne til at forsvare ægteskabets sakramente og den kristne familie, selv om det må medføre lidelse. Under en prædiken den 25. juli ved helligdommen for Vor Frue af Guadalupe i Wisconsin opmuntrede kardinalen ægtepar til at omfavne deres kald som en vej til hellighed. »Det hellige ægteskabs nåde er ikke et ideal, som kun få kan stræbe efter,« sagde han, »men en objektiv virkelighed, en overnaturlig gave, der får mand og kone til at søge hinandens evige frelse på vejen mod den guddommelige kærlighed.« Kardinalen afsluttede: »Lad os være rede til martyrium, om ikke det røde martyrium med blod, så i hvert fald det hvide martyrium som trofast vidnesbyrd for Vorherre i mødet med ligegyldighed, latterliggørelse og forfølgelse.« Kardinal Burkes opfordring kommer blot to måneder før Vatikanets møde i oktober, der er indkaldt af pave Leo XIV for at fejre tiårsdagen for Amoris laetitia. I denne opfordring bruger pave Frans gentagne gange udtrykket …Meira
Syv år etter hans død mangler kapusinerbiskopen Juan Rodolfo Laise fortsatt en ordentlig gravinskripsjon på kapusinerkirkegården i San Giovanni Rotondo i Italia. Biskop Laise ble internasjonalt kjent for å forsvare praksisen med å motta nattverden på tungen. Under debatter i den argentinske biskopskonferansen i 1996 om innføringen av nattverd i hånden valgte han å ikke gjennomføre dispensasjonen i sitt bispedømme, og fastholdt at å motta nattverden på tungen fortsatt var Kirkens universelle norm. Etter at han gikk av med pensjon, bosatte han seg i San Giovanni Rotondo, hvor han tilbrakte sine siste år som skriftefar. Selv om det ble lagt en marmorplate over graven hans ved begravelsen i 2019, bærer den fremdeles bare den midlertidige begravelsesannonsen på papir som ble festet på begravelsesdagen. Det er aldri blitt lagt til noen permanent inskripsjon. Saken har fått fornyet oppmerksomhet etter en undersøkelse av den italienske journalisten Simone Ortolani, slik det er rapportert av …Meira

Seven years after his death, the Capuchin bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise still lacks a proper grave inscription in the Capuchin cemetery of San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy. Bishop Laise became internationally known for defending the practice of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. During debates within the Argentine Episcopal Conference in 1996 over the introduction of Communion in the hand, he chose not to implement the indult in his diocese, maintaining that receiving Communion on the tongue remained the universal norm of the Church. After retiring, he settled in San Giovanni Rotondo, where he spent his final years serving as a confessor. Although a marble slab was placed over his grave at the time of his burial in 2019, it still bears only the temporary paper funeral notice affixed on the day of his funeral. No permanent inscription has ever been added. The case has attracted renewed attention following an investigation by Italian journalist Simone Ortolani, as reported by Messa in Latino. …Meira

The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Meira
