Leo XIV-Appointed Archbishop at the UN wants to get rid of free speech. The new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Christophe El-Kassis, delivered his first address at the UN on September 17. The Archbishop rejected “every form of intolerance, discrimination, and hate speech”. And: “Any hate speech - directed at either individuals or communities because of their religion, race, nationality, or any other characteristic - goes against the commandment to love one’s neighbor.” He believes, it “poisons public discourse, inflames division, and too often prepares the ground for violence and persecution.” Words that intentionally provoke hatred “cannot claim the protection of liberty.” Leo XIV appointed Monsignor El-Kassis to the United Nations in July.
Archbishop Christophe El-Kassis: Speech that intentionally provokes hatred cannot claim the protection of liberty.
How absolutely disgusting! Who determines the 'intentionality' here?!! The sender, or, as has become more common nowadays, those who would look for offense and hatred especially where none has been given. Under such a glaringly absurd 'rule' our Lord's denunciation of the Pharisees and scribes as being "like white sepulchres..." as well as numerous other justifiable condemnations merited His 'silencing'. God help us!
CCCB documents ad absurdam. Concentrate upon transmitting the Faith as it has been evangelized for two millennia. Too many prelates shuffling papers and looking busy when the Lord beckons them to shepherd.

The home of Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, in Florence was burgled while he was in Britain. The Albanian cardinal was received by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle on September 15. According to Corriere.it, thieves targeted the Curia-owned apartment in Piazza Duomo where Simoni lives with his nephew Tonin and his family. When his nephew called with the news, the cardinal’s first concern was not the money: “Did they leave the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje? And Padre Pio?” Told both were untouched, Simoni replied simply: “Allora poco male” - “Then, little harm done.” The burglars smashed through a wall with chisels, forced open an armoured door and ransacked wardrobes, boxes and luggage, leaving their tools on the landing. The haul, estimated at €30,000, included cash, gold, jewellery, medals and a gold seal. Strangely, Simoni’s residence permit was also taken. Tonin and his wife had left around 1 p.m. and returned at 11 p.m. to find the apartment ransacked. Tonin believes the family …Lokwengentiwe

Fatima Keeps Rupnik Mosaic The Marian shrine of Fátima, Portugal, does not plan to remove or cover its massive Rupnik mosaic. Last year, the Fátima shrine issued a statement saying that it would not remove the mosaic. The Substack.com-Account The Pillar (September 18) contacted the Fátima shrine again after Rupnik’s mosaics at Lourdes were covered and “was told there is no update to the shrine’s stance.” There is the prospect of a papal visit to Fátima next year. Rupnik is facing a canonical trial at the Vatican over credible accusations that he sexually, spiritually, and psychologically abused numerous women. His art, with its big black eyes and characteristic asymmetry, mirrors a warped mind. Bishop Virgílio Antunes, president of the Portuguese bishops’ conference and chairman of the National Council of the Fátima Shrine, acknowledged that “one cannot separate the artwork from the context and the circumstances in which it was created.” BUT: Neither he nor the bishops’ conference “…Lokwengentiwe
Starting from the Second Vatican Council, passing through John Paul II, up to the speeches of Benedict XVI and Pope Francis in the synagogue of Rome and their recent writings (The Bible of Friendship; Jews and Christians, both from 2019), they want to overturn the ecclesiastical tradition on the relationship between Christianity and Judaism and reevaluate the latter, as the “elder and favorite brother” of Christianity. Now, all this has the same gravity as the sin of the Jews who rejected Christ: it is disbelief, indeed it is in a certain sense even more serious, since, if the Jews rejected Christianity in figure, the Judaizing Christians reject the Apostolic Tradition in reality and not just figuratively. Therefore, they are even more inexcusable than the Jews, and therefore are unbelievers, perfidious and even specifically apostate in the strict sense. How, therefore, can we delude ourselves that they want to “restore” the Church and are “friends” of the anti-modernist Traditionalists …Lokwengentiwe
French military chaplain Romain Ghandou has sparked a political storm, with a prominent left-wing politician calling for his imprisonment. The video is from a 7 Oct 2025 Mass at Carcassonne Cathedral, before soldiers of the 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e RPIMa). “Calm down, leftists! Breathe through your nose,” Ghandou said, drawing laughter and applause. He attacked “liars,” “incompetents” and those who “lecture everyone.” He urged soldiers to “keep fighting” and have “the courage of your convictions,” warning that otherwise France would be ridiculed and “others will take our place.” Le Canard enchaîné publicised the footage Friday, sparking outrage on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), alleged “racist insults” and said: “His place is in prison.” Le Canard linked the sermon to the “Great Replacement,” though Ghandou does not use that phrase in the published excerpt.
« Calmez-vous » : à Carcassonne, un aumônier militaire appelle à dire aux « gauchistes » de « respirer par le nez » La vidéo de la cérémonie a été relayée vendredi par Le Canard enchaîné et a suscité plusieurs réactions politiques.
Theo Bishop Barron Interview youtube.com/watch?v=tSlDMz2ZrnY We can sense Theo is seeking support for his calling out the genocide, artificial intelligence, and pornography. The Bishop has slightly underplayed responses to these in contrast to his more solid solid knowledge of Church teachings in other matters. I sense also the Bishop has some vulnerabilities he has to look out for. This is not a post to mud sling another VII bishop although that seems to be a happy playground for GTV. Some of us have had intense conversions since VII. Visitors may also be wanting of the Sacramental Life.

‘The Sight of Hell’ by Rev. John Furniss, C.S.S.R.; 1882; Chapter XXVIII; Pages 14; ‘The Fifth Dungeon…’ XXVIII. The Fifth Dungeon ~ The Red Hot Oven Ps. xx. Thou shalt make him as an oven of fire in the time of thy anger. You are going to see again the child about which you read in the Terrible Judgement, that it was condemned to hell. See! It is a pitiful sight. The little child is in this red hot oven. Hear how it screams to come out. See how it turns and twists itself about in the fire. It beats its head against the roof of the oven. It stamps its little feet on the floor of the oven. You can see on the face of this little child what you see on the faces of all in hell -- despair, desperate and horrible! The same law which is for others is also for children. If children, knowingly and willingly, break God's commandments, they must also be punished like others. This child committed very bad mortal sins, knowing well the harm of what it was doing, and knowing that hell would be the …Lokwengentiwe
