France Adopts Assisted Dying Law: Today, France's National Assembly voted 291–241 to adopt legislation legalizing assisted dying. While individual healthcare professionals may refuse to participate, Catholic hospitals and care homes are denied an institutional conscience clause.
Adoption de la loi sur l’aide à mourir - Par 291 voix contre 241 la loi est adoptée. Les catholiques attendent désormais une réaction forte de l’Église de France, à la hauteur de la désolation et des conséquences que cette loi entraînera
The controversial organisation Amnesty International UK published a report on 8 July listing the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales among 117 organizations it described as part of an “anti-rights movement” in the United Kingdom. The report, A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, said the listed organizations formed an ecosystem seeking to undermine the rights of women and homosexuals. It also named the Catholic Medical Association, Premier Christian News, J.K. Rowling’s women-only support service Beira’s Place, and a number of Christian, pro-life, and gender-critical organizations. The report defined “anti-rights actors” as groups, individuals, and public or private bodies seeking to weaken human rights protections in law and practice. The publication drew criticism from a number of the organizations named. Two days after publication, Amnesty International UK withdrew the report. It said the document had been published without passing the organization's …barrachd
Today, Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered an address at the European Parliament in Brussels. He noted that the European Union uses development aid and international agreements to export abortion and gender ideology to African nations. He spoke of "ideological colonization", arguing that modern Europe increasingly seeks to influence African legislation through trade agreements, development assistance, and diplomatic pressure. Words Have a Meaning Opening his address, Sarah questioned whether Europe and Africa still share a common understanding of the language that dominates international diplomacy. "Can we still understand each other? Do the words we use - human rights, dignity, development, freedom, health, gender, family - still mean the same thing to those who pronounce them in Brussels, Strasbourg, Kampala, or Conakry?" Inconsistency Is Deliberate One of his examples is the expression “sexual and reproductive health” that often means abortion. Another example is the term “gender equality …barrachd
Traditionis Custodes (2021) deepened wounds and, contrary to what Pope Francis intended, contributed to growing interest in the Roman rite, Archbishop Emeritus Héctor Aguer, 83, of La Plata, Argentina, wrote in a July 13 statement. He notes that the Roman rite is especially popular among the young and contributes to “a good portion of conversions.” “The transmission of the faith,” he adds, “is no longer passed, to a significant degree, from parents to children but from young people to young people.” Monsignor Aguer says that “persecution or the extreme measures of progressivism” will not stop this growing movement. It goes “far beyond mere fashion” - whereas the fashion over the past sixty years has been to turn the Novus Ordo into an anything-goes vehicle of liturgical devastation. He writes that the four Eucharistic Prayers of the Novus Ordo have effectively been displaced by “Eucharistic Prayer Zero” - whatever happens to occur to the celebrant at the moment. In Argentina, the proportion …barrachd
Archbishop Aguer, Argentina, on the Traditional Mass: “Traditionis Custodes, issued five years ago, far from healing the wounds, only deepened them. And contrary to what its promoter sought, it contributed to a growing interest in Tradition and Orthodoxy, especially among young people. Today, a good portion of conversions occur among those who prefer the ancient rite (of the Mass). And the transmission of the faith, to a great extent, is no longer passed from parents to children, but from young people to young people”
Tom Sky THIS 1929 REFRIGERATOR WORKED WITHOUT ELECTRICITY -The Crosley IcyBall had no moving parts. -All it took was to heat one end for about 90 minutes on a stove or a kerosene burner. -Then it produced more than 24 hours of cold inside the icebox. -No electricity. No gas. No compressor. -Just a simple and robust absorption principle. At the time, it was marketed for rural areas that had neither electricity nor gas. Some period advertisements even said: “Ice from heat” for only 2 cents per day. And that’s not all: during a fire that destroyed an entire block of houses, an IcyBall continued to produce ice while everything around it was charred. Why did this kind of simple, durable technology independent of electricity disappear once the electric grid spread and took over? THIS 1929 REFRIGERATOR WORKED WITHOUT …
"It is obviously possible to be fully Catholic while living the sacramental life according to the books of 1962. It is absolutely unacceptable to affirm the contrary", Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told the organisers of the Chartres pilgrimage ‘Notre-Dame de Chrétienté’ in a July 14 YouTube.com video. And: "The liturgy according to the usus antiquior of the Roman Rite is an inestimable treasure of the Church which must be preserved and cherished because it is intimately linked to the very identity of the Roman Catholic Church." Cardinal Burke argued that the Roman rite has proven to be a powerful instrument of evangelization: “It is evident that this liturgy is missionary," he said. "This is seen by its fruits today as in centuries past, because it attracts through its sense of the sacred and transcendence." He added that this is "particularly evident with the younger generation," which he said has "a profound hunger for the spiritual in an increasingly horizontal world." Vatican II …barrachd
This is certainly true. The anti TLM gang had secret meetings in the middle of the night when most were asleep, and the measures passed with those few in attendance. So, in the morning, it was too late as the motions were passed and Paul VI signed them. This whole affair makes Watergate look like a small girl's tea party.

Cardinal Müller Misrecites Latin during Ordination: On 4 July, during the ordination of three priests for the Institut du Bon Pasteur in Courtalain, France, Cardinal Müller said "manus" ("hand") instead of "munus" ("office" or "ministry"). The correct wording would have been: "...so that they may persevere in this office."
Cardinal Müller said "manus" instead of "munus. Müller was supposed to say: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti munus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants with the dignity of the Priesthood; do Thou renew in their hearts the spirit of holiness, so that they may persevere in this office, which is next to ours in dignity, since they have received it from Thee, O God. May the example of their lives lead others to moral uprightness.”) Instead, Müller actually said: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti manus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants …barrachd
A few days ago, in a KTV interview regarding the FSSPX, he stated that it was a "liturgical impossibility" for the Superior General, as a priest, to preach before bishops during an episcopal ordination. And yet, he himself utters an incorrect term during the Consecration. Well, as long as no priest preached there, it certainly isn't a "liturgical impossibility" according to the Cardinal's definition....
The Humble Alone Truly Know God The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of childlike simplicity and humility in understanding God’s will. Like the saints, we should recognize that our gifts and talents come from God and use them for His glory, not our own. By seeking God’s will and becoming pure of heart, we can open ourselves to His revelation and ultimately know Him and the Father. Fr.

"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything." Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates. Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois. Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said. According to witnesses cited by …barrachd
During the Mass on July 5, at the Church of the Madeleine in Châteaudun, Father François Yambressinga condemned the proposed law on assistance in dying in his homily, while Deputy-Mayor Philippe Vigier, co-general rapporteur of the bill, was seated in the front row. The elected official, who said he felt "personally attacked," then spoke with the priest after the celebration. The latter is supported by the Bishop of Chartres.
Nearly 500 years after the Protestant Reformation, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass returned to Bayham Old Abbey in Kent "We give thanks for our faith, the faith of our fathers, and we give thanks because from the ruins of worldly crises, God continues to plant the seeds of new growth" - Fr Stephen Morrison Source: Archdiocese of Southwark

The FSPPX chess game that recognizes the 1983 Code of Canon Law just to get a suspension of the sentence. The Lefebvre precedent in 1975 and the moods at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (with a doubt about the legitimacy of the appeal's presentation).
Fantastic article. Shame about the Vatican isn't it? I wonder why they did this, "Because the specific 1949 excommunication of communist Catholics was not incorporated into the 1983 Code, that automatic canonical penalty is no longer in effect." Ah make the Catholic Church safe for communists again!
