Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Francesco Cavina, 71, Bishop Emeritus of Carpi, as the new Apostolic Visitor to Medjugorje. He replaces Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 80. The Vatican is not ending its special oversight of Medjugorje, but continuing it under new leadership. Bishop Cavina's position on the alleged apparitions of Medjugorje is unknown. He worked at the Vatican Secretariat of State from 1996 to 2011. Then, Benedict XVI appointed him Bishop of Carpi. Monsignor Cavina resigned on 26 June 2019, at the age of 64. He said he had been the target of a long media campaign. The controversy involved accusations of political favoritism and the possible use of public money for a religious celebration. The investigation against Cavina was closed because the accusations were found to be without evidence.

RT America anchor Liz Wahl 'My experience as an RT reporter and anchor was that RT’s main goal is not to to seek truth and report it. Rather, the aim is to create confusion and sow distrust in Western governments and institutions by reporting anything which seems to discredit the West, and ignoring anything which is to its credit.'
For Catholics, the month of November honors our beloved dead, and is a time to reinforce our civil liberties especially the one most endangered: Religious Freedom.
Leo XIV-appointed Jesuit Giacomo Costa backed the homosexual “Zan Law” - critisied even by the Vatican. In June 2021, Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ, director of the Italian Jesuit magazine Aggiornamenti Sociali, published an editorial titled “Ddl Zan: prima le persone” (“Ddl Zan: People First”). The text backed the proposed Italian law against discrimination and violence based on sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability. It was known as the DDL Zan, after its sponsor, Democratic Party deputy Alessandro Zan. Yesterday, Leo XIV promoted this Jesuit as undersecretary of the General Secretariat of the Synod. Fr Costa had had supported homosexual "marriage" already in 2008. The Zan bill had become a flashpoint between homosexual groups and Catholics. It would have restricted religious speech and promote “gender ideology” in schools. Fr Costa’s editorial called the law “needed”. He grounded his argument in an alleged discrimination and violence because of homosexuality or …Ētahi atu

New French Bishop enthusiastically praised African liturgical dances. Pope Leo XIV appointed Rev. Martial Bernard as Bishop of Soissons, Laon and Saint-Quentin, France, today. He has been vicar general of Évry-Corbeil-Essonnes since 2018. Visiting Cameroon at Easter 2026, Bernard praised doubtful local liturgies as “filled with singing and dancing, truly radiating the love of Jesus Christ and the joy of the Resurrection.” He called this his greatest joy of the visit. Rev. Bernard has a limited online profile. His responsibilities have included ecumenism and relations with Judaism. In November 2025, he was named as a participant in ecumenical Vespers in Germany alongside Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant clergy. After Fr. Jacques Hamel's murder in 2016, Bernard welcomed Muslim representatives to Évry Cathedral and announced plans to attend a Friday sermon at a nearby mosque.

Ordinations of the Stellamarines By Transalpine Redemptorists October 29, 2026 From 23 to 25 October, 2026, our Bishop Michael Mary, F.SS.R., accompanied by several confreres, had the joy to impart the ordination to the Diaconate and Priesthood to Fr Benoit and the Tonsure and first Minor Orders to Br Laurent, both Stellamarines at L' Œuvre de l'Étoile, near Nimes, France. The work, begun in 1957, by the late Father Maurice Raffalli, has been without a priestly member since Father's death in 2020 at the age of 87. Having assisted at the first vows of the Congregation in the 1990s, the Coronation of the Image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and its later enthronement in the beautiful sanctuary built by Fr Raffalli, it has been a very great joy for us to spend this week here with our friends of so many years. Many people at the ordination spoke of the vast, quiet, almost hidden, but lasting foundational good Father did for many, many souls. Truly this little monastery is an image of …Ētahi atu
Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage organizers deny being banned from Augustinianum. The organizers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage have denied reports that they were barred from using Rome’s Augustinianum conference center in 2027. The October 30 statement contradicts an earlier account by Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatino.it. In a communiqué, Christian Marquant, president of the International Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage Organizing Committee (CISP), stated: “The CISP did not ask the Augustinianum to hold its PAX LITURGICA 2027 session in its Auditorium. And, of course, the Augustinianum has not refused us anything.” The statement follows remarks by Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatino.it during an October 27 interview with Giovanni Zenone. Casalini, who helped organize the pilgrimage, said its main organizer had told him the Augustinianum would no longer be available for the annual Pax Liturgica conference from 2027. The Augustinianum is a conference center near the Vatican run by …Ētahi atu
Deepening the Theological Archives To stay ahead in your research, you can anchor your arguments in historical Catholic warnings against ideological manipulation. Look into: • Divini Redemptoris (1937): Pope Pius XI’s encyclical on Atheistic Communism, which outlines exactly how the "errors" use deception, false promises, and front organizations to infiltrate societies. The psychological tactics used by modern trolls mirror these historical patterns perfectly. • The Actual Text of the Secret: Re-examining the specific phrasing of the Third Secret and Sister Lucia's later letters regarding the nature of the "errors" to show that they aren't just an economic system (Communism), but a spiritual and psychological deception that distorts truth itself.

Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage will return in October 2027 - despite the Vatican's refusal last weekend. In the October 30 newsletter on PaixLiturgique.com, Christian Marquant looks back at the difficult pilgrimage to St. Peter's Basilica. The Vatican Secretariat of State had refused permission both to celebrate Mass in St. Peter's Basilica and for the pilgrims to enter in procession on October 24. Marquant is still awaiting an explanation: “We have sought to calm all unfounded controversy, but we are still awaiting explanations for the reasons behind this treatment.” Despite this, he is already preparing the 16th pilgrimage, scheduled for October 29–31, 2027, with the Tomb of the Apostle as its destination. #newsWgpipkxzpg
Blessed are your eyes, for they see… Liturgy for November 1st – Solemnity of All Saints Dear brothers and sisters, the Saints—whose triumph we celebrate on November the 1st—are, so to speak, concrete proof of the truth of the statement Jesus made to His disciples, to those who would follow Him along the luminous path of the Beatitudes : “In the world you will have tribulation; but take courage, I have conquered the world…” He said (John 16:33). Therefore, the Saints allow us to “touch with our own hands”, so to speak, Christ’s victory over evil and death. Indeed, when Jesus says, “I have conquered the world,” He is not referring to God’s creation—which is entirely good—but rather to the world as a hostile system that is opposed to God. That is a world dominated by pride, selfishness, injustice, and the pursuit of power; in other words it is a rebellious humanity that prefers darkness to light, and evil to good. In this sense, the world is described as being temporarily subject to the …Ētahi atu
Oct.31.2026 How can Reuters in London interpret Vatican Council II irrationally and not rationally ? The interpretation of Church Documents; Magisterial Documents, unethically, is dishonesty even according to secular standards.The people do not not know about it. For instance, in London, according to British Law, how can Dr. Joseph Shaw be the President of the Federation International Una Voce and Vincent Nichols, a cardinal-archbishop, when they interpret Vatican Council II irrationally instead of rationally ? The irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II cannot be the secular and judicial norm in society. So how can Cardinal Blaise Cupich hold office ? The Latin Mass in England and Wales and at the Vatican and Chicago is offered with the Nicene Creed interpreted irrationally and so schismatically. How can Reuters in London interpret Vatican Council II irrationally and not rationally ? The British Parliament would expect Reuters to be honest and objective. The Catholic …Ētahi atu
Costa said 2008: “In the absence of alternatives, the marriage model, even understood in the limited sense of ‘public recognition of an affective relationship,’ remains a legal as well as symbolic reference point for same-sex couples…”
Leo XIV appoints a Jesuit - who defended homosexual "marriage" already in 2008 (!). Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit Fr. Giacomo Costa and Salesian Sr. Elena Massimi as undersecretaries of the General Secretariat of the Synod for five-year terms. Costa replaces Spanish Augustinian Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín, appointed Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity in March. Sister Massimi succeeds French Sr. Nathalie Becquart, who had served as undersecretary since February 2021. Cardinal Mario Grech remains Secretary General. Costa defended homosexual “marriages” Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ's involvement in debates over the homosexual civil unions dates back to at least 2008. He was one of seven members of the bioethics study group credited with a June 2008 article in the Jesuit journal Aggiornamenti Sociali, titled “Recognizing Same-Sex Unions? A Contribution to the Discussion”. Costa was then managing editor of the journal. The study argued that legal recognition of …Ētahi atu
A likely Protestant receives communion in St Peter’s Basilica. Today, the basilica hosted a Mass for the US universities Villanova and Notre Dame. Extraordinary ministers also gave Communion to people presenting themselves with their arms crossed. This indicates that they were not in a state of grace to receive Communion, or that they were non-Catholics. Almost all of the Communions were received by hand.

For the wolf dressed in white, communion is a sign of integration and inclusion. Nothing more. But really, the profaning of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is a sacrilege.
