Padre Pio and Maximilian Kolbe, Patron Saints behind Fr Gordon MacRae’s blog, have an obscure thread of connection that magnifies witness, sacrifice, and fatherhood.
Leo XIV claims that Christ founded a “religious movement” - in direct contradiction to Church teaching and the Gospel. The recently published document The Path of Hope was signed by the heads of three Vatican dicasteries and approved by Leo XIV on 22 June. It states in §10: “Early Christianity developed from the movement initiated by Jesus and his disciples, distinguishing itself from the various forms of Judaism over time.” That’s the liberal Protestant view associated with figures such as Albert Schweitzer. It clashes with propositions explicitly condemned by St Pius X in Lamentabili sane. Condemned sentences are: §59: Christ “inaugurated a religious movement adapted to, or to be adapted to, different times and places.” §60: “Christian doctrine was originally Judaic. Through successive evolutions, it first became Pauline, then Joannine and finally Hellenic and universal.” Catholic teaching states: Christ did not merely initiate a movement that gradually became Christianity.

23.09.2026 30 SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM GROUPS ABJURE THE CATHOLIC FAITH IN OCTOBER AT MARY MAJORS They are politically correct like Cardinals Cupich and Fernandez. Thirty organizations under the Summorum Pontificum banner interpret Vatican Council II and the Nicene Creed etc, irrationally and not rationally, and so avoid ‘the terrorist’ charge. They prudently avoid being being excommunicated by the Vatican. Among the Summorum Pontificum (SP) leaders are Fr. Claude Barthe. Roberto Mattei is associated with Coetus International. Diana Montagna is one of the speakers at the conference. ORIGINAL COETUS WAS CUSHINGITE AND HERETICAL The original Coetus group at Vatican Council II interpreted the Council irrationally by confusing what is implicit as being explicit. They then accepted the non traditional and liberal conclusion. It made the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), obsolete, with alleged visible and known exceptions. Now in 2026 it is known that with LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 …More

A 2026 study found an interesting link between siblings and teen mental health. Researchers looked at data from 16,725 teenagers in rural China from 2010 to 2022. Teens with more siblings were less likely to show signs of depression, with an even stronger effect among younger teens. Each additional sibling was linked to a 1.7–1.8 percentage-point lower probability of depression.
A Mexican diocese and the country’s bishops’ conference have called on authorities to carry out a thorough investigation after a Catholic priest was found dead this week in a region known for organized crime.
Cardinal Müller called for a return to true masculinity based on courage, sacrifice and responsibility. Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller joined the Pilgrimage of Men with Families to the Shrine of the First Martyrs of Poland in Międzyrzecz on September 12, blessing plaques marking the 1,060th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland. Speaking about male fidelity, Müller said: “The world today is trying to redefine masculinity.” He pointed to the Międzyrzecz martyrs as men willing to defend what is sacred to the end, defining a “true man” as one “who builds on a firm foundation and is capable of suffering for higher values.” The martyrs, robbed and murdered at night († 1003) in their monastery, were ordinary flesh-and-blood men, not legendary heroes, Müller said. He added that masculine victory often arises through steadfast responsibility for those entrusted to one’s care.
Kard. Gerhard Müller zaapelował o powrót do „prawdziwej męskości”, odrzucając utożsamianie jej z dominacją i stanem konta. Prawdziwy mężczyzna „buduje na mocnym fundamencie, potrafi cierpieć dla wyższych wartości i dogląda granic swojego królestwa”.
What do you think about people who use Catholic media to feed their families? Are they somehow corrupt? 'No one can be a disciple of Christ without renouncing all their property.'
2,200 people joined Switzerland’s March for Life in Zurich on Saturday under the banner “Together for Life”. Around 200 masked counter-demonstrators, some on bicycles, tried repeatedly to block the route, overturning containers and setting off firecrackers. Police issued orders to disperse before deploying water cannons and rubber shots (!). Bottles were thrown at officers and two people were provisionally arrested. The march has been kept outside central Zurich for years, a restriction organisers say amounts to unequal treatment.
