Belgian Trappist Sisters Close Their Abbey

The Trappist sisters of Notre-Dame de Brialmont Abbey in Tilff, in the Diocese of Liège, Belgium, celebrated a Eucharist of thanksgiving on 25 July before leaving the abbey after 65 years at the site.
The Eucharist was celebrated by Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville of Liège together with Dom Xavier Frisque, abbot of Orval and the superior responsible for the Brialmont community.
Only six sisters remain in the community. The Order announced in February 2026 that the abbey would close because of the sisters' advanced age, declining numbers and the absence of new vocations.
Pope John Paul II paid a private visit to the abbey in 1985.
The Diocese of Liège said a new ecological, social and spiritual project for the site is being developed in partnership with Orval Abbey and other local partners.

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.

Spanish Archdiocese Distances Itself After Priest Calls for Conversion of Morocco

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 …badan

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.

65% of Cardinals Know No Latin – Lack Any Real Qualifications

Over 65% of the current College of Cardinals does not know any Latin, writes Francesco Capozza, Vatican journalist for IlTempo.it, on Facebook (August 4): “This is the extremely serious legacy of Bergoglio (Pope Francis), who has given the Church cardinals who are ignorant, lacking any real qualifications or merit, and unaware that Latin is the official language of the Church.”
The figure sounds plausible, but Capozza does not publish any documentation to support it. He says he conducted research over several months and consulted seminaries, universities, religious congregations, and others.
Capozza adds that most of these cardinals do not even speak English, but only their native language.
He concludes: “This is the Church of today, and if Leo XIV does not clean house, the outcome will be an even greater disaster than the previous twelve years.”

Muslims Lose Their Minds When 26 Different ARABIC Qurans Return to Speakers' Corner!

About a year ago, Jay Smith and Hatun Tash got up on their ladders at Speakers' Corner to show 26 different Arabic Qur'ans to the world. They didn't have the time then to go through the 26 Qur'ans, and so they decided to bring the Qurans back to Speakers' Corner for a similar talk, but this time to go through and show some of the differences. To date, Arabic scholars who are doing the research (not Jay nor Hatun, who are clear that they are not Arabic scholars) have found 45,377 differences within the 26 Qur'ans they are looking at. That number will continue to rise as they find hundreds, and perhaps thousands more. Jay and Hatun couldn't go through all the 45,377 differences they were aware of, so they only brought down about 70 examples, taken from an assortment of the …badan

Sydney Archbishop: Homosexuals Mocked Catholic Faith

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 …badan

Pope Leo Appears To Publicly Acknowledge Black Ancestry For First Time
Pope Leo has further fueled discussions about his heritage by seemingly acknowledging his multiracial background. The pope's comments, made as part of a larger conversation about being an American pope, are the closest that the head of the Catholic Church has made about his family's racial history, which has been a topic of discussion since he assumed leadership of the world's largest religious organization.

New Mexico sued the Department of Justice and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche Wednesday for "stonewalling" its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch.
In a 40-page filing, New Mexico asked for access to unredacted documents from the Epstein files that it claimed the DOJ has been intentionally withholding.
Zorro Ranch, located roughly 30 miles south of Santa Fe in the high desert, was rumored to be a hotbed of illicit activity under Epstein's stewardship. Some of the notorious child sex offender's victims, including Virginia Giuffre, claimed they were trafficked at the New Mexico estate, and emails issued by ranch staffers allege that the bodies of at least two girls were buried under the building by Epstein's order, according to documents made public by the Justice Department via the Epstein files.
At one point, Epstein even contemplated turning the estate, which he purchased in 1993, into a headquarters for genetic engineering experiments.

Outstanding Catholic Bishop Did Not Even Receive a Proper Grave

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. …badan

Patriarch Kirill Scraps Hilarion's Brazil Posting, Reassigns Him to Monastery

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 …badan

"Marriage Is Not an Ideal for Only a Few": Burke Challenges Amoris Laetitia

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness.
"The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love."
The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution."
Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …badan
