Kardinal Walter Brandmüller, 97 tahun, dalam sebuah tulisan yang diterbitkan oleh Sandro Magister pada 8 September, membahas tentang “sinodalitas.” Poin-poin utamanya: - Menurut pemahaman Katolik klasik, sinode adalah pertemuan para uskup dengan tujuan menjalankan bersama-sama tugas pengajaran dan pelayanan pastoral mereka. - Pada tahun 1965, Paulus VI mendirikan apa yang disebut Sinode Para Uskup sebagai badan penasihat Paus. - Badan-badan yang baru-baru ini dibentuk, yang anggotanya mencakup tidak hanya para uskup, tetapi juga para imam dan umat awam dari kedua jenis kelamin, tidak dapat secara tepat disebut sebagai sinode. - Umat awam yang kompeten tentu saja dapat dipercayakan untuk menjalankan peran konsultatif. Namun, di mana pun kolaborasi semacam itu dilakukan, kita harus berhati-hati menghindari penggunaan istilah “sinode,” “sinodalitas,” dan sejenisnya yang dapat menyesatkan, dan sebaliknya mencari istilah yang secara memadai menggambarkan situasi yang sebenarnya. - Pembentukan …Lebih
The devil attacks those who spread Christian truth, “corrupts the shepherds” of the Church and seeks particularly to destroy the family, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told Shawn Ryan in his September 8 podcast. Ryan is a former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor. He grew up Catholic but never “took Church seriously”. When he left home, he lost faith. In 2025, he called himself a Christian believer. In April 2026, he said, “I consider myself Catholic, but I bounce back and forth between that and non-denominational.” In the interview with Burke, he said that he had undergone four exorcisms with two different priests after what he described as encounters with demonic entities. He also mentioned a psychedelic experience that he believed had shown him hell. Ryan described sensationalist disturbances that continued after the exorcisms, including picture frames coming off the walls, unexplained bodily “manifestations” and every smoke alarm and detector in his house repeatedly going off at around 12:45…Lebih
On 7 September, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller addressed the “Tavola di Assisi 2026”: “Islam… is not ashamed of God, it is not ashamed of transcendence, but it proposes an anthropology and a revelation radically different from the Christian ones.” Invoking St Francis of Assisi’s encounter with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil, Müller rejected the modern portrayal of Francis as a precursor of interreligious dialogue: “Francis did not go to Egypt to open a diplomatic salon and confirm the Sultan in his faith.” Instead, he went convinced that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. For Cardinal Müller, calling Muslims to conversion is “not an act of hostility… on the contrary, it is the highest act of charity.” He also warned that the Christian West is not “simply threatened by external forces, but is being worn down by an internal apostasy.”
Il cardinale Müller: "l'Islam non rispetta i cristiani deboli" Il cardinale Gerhard Ludwig Müller, nell'intervento alle Tavole di Assisi organizzate da Simone Pillon, affronta di petto il tema dell'Occidente logorato dal postumanesimo e dal nichilismo. E parla del rapporto con i musulmani: "Va rispettata la nostra identità". Video completo su YouTube: @TivuVerita
Renzo Pegoraro, Leo XIV-appointed President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, has doubled down on his mad position on assisted suicide. Following his Avvenire interview, Monsignor Pegoraro told Corriere.it that Italy should pursue a national law, calling on political parties to press Parliament for legislation rather than leaving the issue to regional authorities. On the same day, his predecessor, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, intervened in LaRepubblica.it, saying Parliament should “shoulder its responsibilities” and establish national rules. Archbishop Pegoraro also addressed a Trentino provincial council committee examining an assisted-suicide bill, where he again called for uniform national regulation. LaNuovaBq.it suggests the simultaneous interventions could point to coordinated Italian Church backing for a national assisted-suicide law, possibly involving Italian bishops’ president Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.

Completed in May 2026, the restoration of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska, revived its historic artistic character. Like many churches, its interior was disfigured in the mid-20th century, including the loss of its original apsidal fresco and installation of a monumental crucifix with a faux stained-glass-style backdrop. Conrad Schmitt Studios renewed the interior with stenciling, gold leaf, faux-marbled columns, and a new apsidal mural depicting the Ascension. The project also returned the high altar to prominence.
Before and After: St. Patrick's Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska
A beautiful lie... When you mix the truth with something that you wanted to be true but it's not, you get a beautiful lie. True, the Catholic Church has the fullness of the Truth, false the other religion had the truth (Jewish), but rejected its peak in Christ, the other "religions" if we ever want to call something that push souls stray as a true one, all of them with NO exception, calls Jesus a prophet but won’t adhere to His teachings in any way, therefore they are false. A beautiful lie ONLY numbs or disarms your spiritual defenses so you could become food for hell, the silly... but "refreshing idea", that all religions could join hand in hand, even with "atheists who do good", is not just a sugar high or some sort of Woodstock moment, it is a delivertly crafted manuver from hell to ruin souls. There is NO doubt whatsoever that Divine Mercy CAN be given to souls who never have heard the gospel, souls who have lived their lives doing their very best to honor Almighty Father, as it …Lebih
Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, 97, in a text published by Sandro Magister on September 8, writes about “synodality.” Main points: - According to the classical Catholic understanding, a synod is a meeting of bishops for the purpose of exercising jointly their teaching and pastoral ministry. - In 1965, Paul VI created the so-called Synod of Bishops as a consultative body of the pope. - Recently established bodies whose members include, in addition to bishops, priests and lay faithful of both sexes cannot properly be called synods. - Competent laypeople can, of course, be entrusted with a consultative role. But wherever such collaboration is practiced, one should carefully avoid any misleading use of the terms “synod,” “synodality,” and the like, and instead find a term that adequately expresses the actual situation. - The establishment of such bodies arises from an effort to adopt secular structures and democratic procedures within the life of the Church. - What is being proposed within the …Lebih
On 6 September, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. The group had planned to conclude their annual pilgrimage with public prayer inside the basilica. Individual pilgrims were permitted to enter privately or in small groups. The group therefore remained outside and concluded their pilgrimage in the basilica square. Father Gabriele D’Avino, head of the FSSPX in Italy, drew a contrast between this decision and the interreligious gathering in Assisi on 27 October, for which representatives of different religions and Christian denominations are expected to attend the 40th anniversary of the 1986 World Day of Prayer for Peace.

Kampanye Katolik untuk Pembangunan Manusia (CCHD) yang dikelola para uskup AS telah memberikan dana lebih dari $400.000 kepada Washington Interfaith Network (WIN) melalui sembilan siklus hibah sejak 2009, termasuk $25.000 pada tahun 2026. Kontroversi ini berkaitan dengan kepemimpinan WIN dan pengawasan CCHD. Mantan spesialis hibah CCHD, Randy Keesler, bertanggung jawab atas wilayah Washington, D.C., sekaligus memegang peran kepemimpinan di dalam WIN — yang menimbulkan potensi konflik kepentingan. WIN kini dipimpin oleh pendeta Protestan Alison Dunn-Almauger, direktur eksekutifnya, yang mendukung kampanye homoseksual di Universitas Baylor. Yang lebih mengejutkan lagi adalah anggota tim strategi WIN, Pendeta Rob Keithan, yang sebelumnya bekerja di Planned Parenthood.

The final programme for the annual Rome pilgrimage of the Traditional Roman Rite (23–25 October) has been announced. However, there is a notable change this year: the pilgrims will enter St Peter's Basilica at 1 p.m. to pray, but there will be no Mass. Instead, pilgrims will travel to the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate Mass at 3 p.m. On Friday evening, Bishop Schneider will preside over Pontifical Vespers at the Pantheon. Unlike in previous years, no cardinal is scheduled to celebrate the principal liturgies. On Sunday, the traditional Feast of Christ the King, Masses will be held at San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini, Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini and Sant’Anna al Laterano. The organisers have expressed their gratitude to Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of St Mary Major, for welcoming the pilgrims. Picture: Don Elvir Tabaković, #newsFjtfiqeqpm
Ceuta is under siege again tonight and Madrid still treats it like a PR problem. Either the military seals the perimeter with real force or this enclave is lost for good. No more “managing flows.” Defend Spanish soil or surrender it.
The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock. The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025. The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder. On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination. The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things: - how the man understands his identity; …Lebih
Swedish news was filming a report in Ukraine and was interrupted by a guy running from mobilization. Earlier the same Swedish news was reporting in Ukraine and one of their team members got mobilized. The Swedish news has a hard time pretending all is fine in Ukraine. The more the US and Europe try to hide the crimes of Ukraine, the more they are exposed. Live on TV!

EWTNNews.com was supposed to give EWTN’s international news operation a single global home. Seven months on, the domain remains outside Cloudflare Radar’s Top 100,000. Hardly an impressive digital calling card for Montse Alvarado as she moves on to lead the Vatican’s communications.
Iblis menyerang mereka yang menyebarkan kebenaran Kristen, “merusak para gembala” Gereja, dan secara khusus berusaha menghancurkan keluarga, demikian kata Kardinal Raymond Leo Burke kepada Shawn Ryan dalam podcastnya pada 8 September. Ryan adalah mantan anggota Navy SEAL dan kontraktor CIA. Ia dibesarkan dalam keluarga Katolik tetapi tidak pernah “menganggap Gereja dengan serius”. Ketika ia meninggalkan rumah, ia kehilangan iman. Pada tahun 2025, ia menyebut dirinya sebagai seorang penganut Kristen. Pada April 2026, ia berkata, “Saya menganggap diri saya Katolik, tetapi saya bolak-balik antara itu dan non-denominasi.” Dalam wawancara dengan Burke, ia mengatakan bahwa ia telah menjalani empat eksorsisme dengan dua imam berbeda setelah apa yang ia gambarkan sebagai pertemuan dengan entitas setan. Ia juga menyebutkan pengalaman psikedelik yang ia yakini telah memperlihatkan kepadanya neraka. Ryan menggambarkan gangguan-gangguan sensasional yang terus berlanjut setelah ritual pengusiran …Lebih
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, removed in June as an exorcist by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy, is continuing his deliverance ministry. In an August 3 email to subscribers, Monsignor Rossetti said he remains a priest in good standing in his home Diocese of Syracuse, New York, and will continue his work through the St. Michael Center, which operates within the territory of the Washington archdiocese. On June 3, Cardinal McElroy removed Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist and ended all affiliation between the Archdiocese of Washington and Rossetti's St. Michael Center. Monsignor Rossetti argues that he retains priestly faculties in several dioceses and exorcist faculties in two others. He also says his own bishop has encouraged him to continue the ministry. The June controversy followed Rossetti's eccentric claim that UFOs "are, in fact, demons." Cardinal McElroy - who had removed him for this claim - later said the decision was not about UFOs but reflected his view that the role of an …Lebih
Read this garbage: Msgr Rossetti says " sexual abuse of minors by mothers could more easily be disguised as ordinary acts of cleaning, grooming or dressing children." If it is true that he said this, such a thought could only come from a rotten, corrupt mind. Our mothers -our blessed, beloved mothers- could never do such a thing! Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me since I was a baby!
