Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz. He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence. “This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.” And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …зиёдтар
Dear Marx of Munich, It's called technology that now allows the truth to be embraced......rather quickly. Trying to pull the wool over the laity's eyes is now a no-no. Time to go back into your corner , eat some Brats, drink some beer, and think how to be an Honest to goodness Catholic, because at the moment, you are an utter failure and disgrace to the Uniform.
2 Peter 2:21-22 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs: “The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”
Jude 7: 7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust,[a] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
On the return flight to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the decision of Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, to enforce "blessings" for homosexual couples in his archdiocese. Leo XIV replied: "First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. …зиёдтар

Pope Leo on Blessings for Same-Sex Couples | Shalom World News Speaking to journalists aboard the papal plane from Equatorial Guinea to Rome, Pope Leo said Church unity should not be defined by debates over same-sex blessings, stressing that moral discussions extend beyond sexual ethics. The Pope’s comments came in response to a question about moves by Cardinal Reinhard Marx to allow blessings for couples outside sacramental marriage, including same-sex couples. Leo reiterated the Vatican’s opposition to formalized blessings but said that all people are welcome in the Church. He warned that pushing the issue further could risk division, adding that unity should be rooted in the teachings of Jesus.
On the return flight to Rome on April 23, Leo XIV took questions from selected journalists. Main quotes. - We must promote a culture of peace. The issue is not whether there is regime change or not; the issue is how to promote the values we believe in without the death of so many innocent people. - The situation in Iran is clearly very complex. Even the negotiations themselves—one day Iran says yes and the United States says no, and vice versa. - I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during the visit to Lebanon, was waiting there with a sign saying “Welcome Pope Leo.” He has been killed in this final phase of the war. - A state has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order. - We must treat migrants humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens. - The issue of human trafficking is also part of migration. - What are we doing in richer countries to change the situation in poorer countries? - Africa is …зиёдтар
On 23 April, Bishop emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on X.com on the homosexual 'blessing' in the Archdiocese of Munich: "This is evil and must be opposed by every faithful Catholic. Woe to so-called shepherds who lead the sheep astray. Rome should speak clearly and immediately but all I hear is silence. Blessing sin is the complete opposite of love." Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has instructed all priests and full-time pastoral staff in the archdiocese to perform, enable or facilitate 'blessings' of same-sex and adulterous couples. #newsRyvhmffviq
@chris griffin I guess you just don't understand what I post or what I'm about now do you? It is clear you can't make the connection between abortion and the "Errors of Russia." And you can't make the connection between Our Lady of Fatima and Her words, "only I can help you." I really don't understand how that is lying? God bless you!
The Vatican altered the official Italian transcript of Pope Leo XIV’s 23 April flight remarks, removing the word "infamous". He had used it while discussing homosexual "blessings" in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and describing Pope Francis’ phrase tutti, tutti, tutti as infamous, famous, well known.

The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, commented on the July 1 episcopal consecrations in an in-house interview with LaPorteLatine.org. Key lines. - The episcopal consecrations… are not a rebellion, but the response to a cruel necessity. - Cardinals Gerhard Müller, Robert Sarah, and other bishops suffer from a typically modern malaise: an inability to reconcile the demands of faith with those of canon law, leading to a kind of paralyzing dichotomy. - The FSSPX holds that these principles must not simply be juxtaposed, but hierarchized - one subordinated to the other. - The ‘rigorous’ canonists still consider the FSSPX schismatic — this is how one must understand the statements of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. - Bishop Athanasius Schneider has shown great courage and freedom of speech… his support will go down in history. - I thank Bishop Joseph Strickland for his message full of strength, clarity, and courage. - Bishop Vitus Huonder,…зиёдтар
Pope Leo XIV affirms informal blessing for homosexual couples and downplays sexual sin Prevost’s Evasive Response to the Apostate Marx’s Homosexual Pseudo-Blessings: No Sanctions. Malachi 2:2 I will send a curse on you, and I will turn your blessings into a curse. se. Prevost has not repudiated "the entirety" of the apostate and heretical pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans*. Rather, Tucho and Prevost seek to legitimize this by invoking an alleged transgression of the boundaries that the homosexual Tucho—acting in complicity with Bergoglio—had established; this maneuver, in its diabolical cunning, was skillfully contrived to soften the impact of the apostasy. But homosexual activists—beginning with Tucho, Bergoglio, Prevost, James Martin and the sacrilegious German apostates—have, in fact, given themselves permission to transgress biblical boundaries and Catholic moral doctrine. Consequently, the pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans* consummate a triple …зиёдтар
Footnotes Hebrews 10:26 Once again the author repeats this somber warning (see Heb 6:1-8; Mt 12:31). Those who rebel against Christ exclude themselves from Christ’s forgiveness, from his life, and from his grace. Let them, therefore, meditate on the threats of God’s vengeance about which the Bible speaks, and especially the texts cited here (see Ex 24:8; Deut 17:6; 32:35f; Isa 26:11).
Hebrews 10:26 New Catholic Bible 26 Apostasy Remains Unforgiven.[a] If we deliberately persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, then there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins.
A dying Novus Ordo parish is given a Latin Mass, which naturally explodes in popularity. A few influential Novus parishioners get jealous, make up bogus accusations, and run the trads out of town. Now the parish is basically closed, and they call it a success. Sound familiar?
A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21. St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline. This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics. However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest. Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years. Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists. This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …зиёдтар
The SSPX look set to consecrate five new bishops—without Pope Leo's permission— on July 1st in Écône, Switzerland. Father Davide Pagliarani, the Society's Superior General, insists this is not an act of schism. It is an act of fidelity. "The rupture does not come from us," Pagliarani declares. It originates in a "flagrant divergence" from Tradition and the constant Magisterium of the Church. The SSPX sees itself as a "sign of contradiction"—a thorn in the side of reformers who have normalized doctrinal error while marginalizing those who refuse to accept it. Pagliarani notes the bitter irony: Pope Francis granted him an affable audience within 24 hours, while Pope Leo will not meet with him at all, even as Vatican officials threaten to declare the Society schismatic. Dialogue has collapsed. The Vatican's only language now is condemnation. Yet the Superior General finds allies in unexpected places. He praises Bishop Joseph Strickland's "strength" and predicts Bishop Athanasius Schneider's …зиёдтар

@chris griffin The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church has blessed and approved the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. I disagree it is "fair and just," "all Catholics should ignore Fatima." Our Lady of Fatima said "only I can help you." If we had done what Our Lady of Fatima asked there would be no abortion today plain and simple. I think your position in opposition to Our Lady of Fatima only continues the "Errors of Russia," and abortion is one of those "Errors." God bless you!
The worst thing for the Vatican is that nobody reads the Vatican media anymore. Quotations are useless anyway.
In the first instalment of this exclusive investigation, Silere non possum brings to light a system of connections, pressures and intimidation which, over the years, has sought to strike at our newspaper in order to delegitimise and silence it. At the heart of the inquiry are journalists and those who falsely flaunt credentials, apparatuses of power, murky circles and a network of mutual protection which, as is amply documented, always operates in the same manner: going after those who practise free journalism and drag their dirty secrets into the open. You will find no gossip, innuendo or hearsay here, unlike in certain psycho-blogs and in newspapers propped up by power elites. You will find audio recordings, documents, images, chat logs and facts. This first instalment pieces together some of the names and methods of a system which, rather than pursuing the truth, seeks to defend itself and crush anyone who refuses to bow. This is only the beginning. Live at 6pm (Vatican …зиёдтар
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 16,15-20. Jesus said to the eleven: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Markus 16,15-20. In jener Zeit erschien Jesus den Elf und sprach zu ihnen: Geht hinaus in die ganze Welt und verkündet das Evangelium der ganzen Schöpfung! Wer glaubt und sich taufen lässt, wird gerettet; wer aber nicht glaubt, wird verurteilt werden. Und durch die, die zum Glauben gekommen sind, werden folgende Zeichen geschehen: In meinem Namen werden sie Dämonen austreiben; sie werden in neuen Sprachen reden; wenn sie Schlangen anfassen oder tödliches Gift trinken, wird es ihnen nicht schaden; und die Kranken, denen sie die Hände auflegen, werden gesund werden. Nachdem Jesus, der Herr, dies zu ihnen gesagt hatte, wurde er in den Himmel aufgenommen und setzte sich zur Rechten Gottes. Sie aber zogen aus und verkündeten überall. Der Herr stand ihnen bei und bekräftigte das Wort durch die Zeichen, die es begleiteten. angelyelina
