The newly appointed Bishop Christian Würtz of Eichstätt, Germany, expects further debate over priestly celibacy, he told Br.de on July 12. On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV appointed him from auxiliary bishop of Freiburg to the diocesan bishop of Eichstätt. During Germany's Synodal Way in 2022, he voted in favour of "blessings" for homosexual concubines and the "ordination" of women-clergy. When asked about his predecessor, Msgr. Gregor Maria Hanke, who voted against those Synodal Way documents, Bishop Würtz said: "I think it goes too far to conclude from that that there are fundamental differences between him and me." He described the different beliefs as "factional disputes." Instead, he said, the focus should be on "what unites us": "That is also an important aspect of synodality - listening to one another, walking together, and learning from one another." When it came to the topic of priestly celibacy, Bishop Würtz said: "This will certainly be a question that continues to occupy us in the …Àteru
Poor grandma. Thank GOD for the Russian soldiers. I have posted several posts about the treatment of Ukraine soldiers and zelensky. Now hear more proof how cruel Ukrainian soldiers were. There were a few video's where some, very few Ukraine soldiers who weren't cruel and even half decent to the people. It's not all. but the majority of these men who were cruel to the people. This video is mild compared to others I posted.
In an interview with a teenager and her Aunt, they were trying to explain what really happened in Georgia. That it was the Georgian government who started the war and killing their own people. But fake news kept cutting them off, or going to commercial. They finally cut them off and said, they were done. But the Aunt and teenager rushed in, the Russian soldiers saved many lives. We thank them for all they did for our families and others. The Aunt got in. during one of their breaks. Yes! You don't want the people to know the truth do you! But in the end they said what they had to say. Just like in Crimea when they went their to find at least one person who was against it. They found NO ONE at all. With one man saying. President Putin is our Commander in Chief. They were not happy at all. Oh! Well.
A decline in religious vocations has prompted the Jesuits in the United States and Canada to restructure the way they train future members of the pro-homosexual order. The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States has announced that it will reduce the number of its novitiates from five to two by 2028. This decision was communicated in a letter dated 9 July and signed by the superiors of the conference's five provinces. Under the new arrangement, one novitiate will be located in Detroit, Michigan, serving the USA Midwest, USA East and Canada provinces, while the second will remain in Culver City, California, serving the USA West and USA Central and Southern provinces. Each facility is expected to accommodate up to 30 novices. "Running five novitiates takes an awful lot of high-quality Jesuit personnel," Fr. Joseph Daoust, SJ, superior of the Detroit Jesuit community, told DetroitCatholic.com on July 10. "Each novitiate requires three to four experienced Jesuits dedicated to …Àteru

French dioceses face a worsening vocation crisis, despite claims of improvement in seminary recruitment, Laurent Dastros writes on July 9 on Substack.com. Dastros notes that, as of 2026, three French dioceses - Aire-et-Dax, Le Puy-en-Velay, and Le Havre - have gone between 12 and 14 years without a diocesan priestly ordination. Carcassonne et Narbonne ended a 19-year gap in 2025 with the ordination of a 51-year-old candidate. Annecy and Rodez could join this list next year if they continue without new ordinations. Longer-Term Picture Dastros calculates that between 2011 and 2026, only three dioceses recorded a single diocesan priestly ordination: Carcassonne et Narbonne, Rodez et Vabres, and Pamiers, Couserans et Mirepoix. Based on the assumption that priests remain in active ministry for approximately 50 years, he estimates that, if current trends continue, each of these dioceses could eventually have only about three native diocesan priests. He further identifies seven dioceses that …Àteru
On 28 June, the closing day of Munich "Pride" weekend, the Cathedral of Munich, Germany, hosted its first Christopher Street Day (CSD) Youth Liturgy. The liturgy included scripture readings, prayers, music and personal blessings. The event was organised jointly by the Cathedral Parish, the Catholic youth organisation BDKJ, and the Queer Pastoral Ministry of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The organisers of the 'Catholic' cathedral service also participated in the Munich homosex march. BDKJ members marched carrying a large rainbow banner bearing the words 'Love is no sin'. They also carried a large orange banner depicting Jesus Christ with the slogan 'Jesus would dance with us at CSD!'. Both banners displayed the BDKJ logo to identify them as part of the organisation's official participation in the homosex march. Picture: AI, #newsXyryhufnmj
‘I am disenchanted with the hierarchy of the Church of England.’ Chaplain Bernard Randall says it has been a seven-year battle to clear his name after he was unfairly dismissed for delivering a sermon on identity politics and transgenderism.
The Roman Rite Revived a Church Planned for Demolition: The church St. Francis de Sales in St. Louis, Missouri, was facing demolition after its parish closed in 2005. Instead, then-Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke of St. Louis entrusted it to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. The Roman rite has been celebrated ever since. Today, the church regularly attracts more than 700 worshippers each Sunday, many of whom are young adults and families.
Spanish Archbishop Rejects Opposition to Mosque: Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses of Seville addressed the proposed mosque in the city at a press conference on Friday. He cited Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16 of the Spanish Constitution, and Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae, emphasizing that religious freedom is both a universal and constitutional right. He added that these rights must be exercised in accordance with state, regional, local, and municipal law. His remarks come as Seville City Council has postponed a decision on the mosque's building permit while seeking additional technical and legal reports following objections from the political party Vox.
Los obispos que hace no mucho hablaban de la ‘Prioridad del Evangelio’ contra posiciones políticas, ahora hablan de “constitución” y “libertad religiosa” frente a la construcción de macromezquitas y centros médicos que hablan de ‘Prioridad musulmana’.
Documentary on the Brutal Reality of Spain's most Violent War │ The Spanish Civil War │ EuniPark. The Spanish Civil War (Spanish: Guerra Civil Española),[nb 2] widely known in Spain simply as The Civil War (Spanish: Guerra Civil) or The War (Spanish: La Guerra), took place from 1936 to 1939. The Republicans, who were loyal to the democratic, left-leaning and relatively urban Second Spanish Republic, in an alliance of convenience with the Anarchists, fought against the Nationalists, a Falangist, Carlist, and largely aristocratic conservative group led by General Francisco Franco. Although the war is often portrayed as a struggle between democracy and fascism, some historians believe it should more accurately be described as a struggle between leftist revolution and rightist counter-revolution.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War Ultimately, the Nationalists won, and Franco then ruled Spain for the next 36 years, from April 1939 until his death in November 1975.

Revelation 22:15 New Catholic Bible 15 Others must remain outside: the dogs,[a] the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices deceit.

What do you think of that? Archbishop Lenga just said: SSPX excommunications mean nothing before God. He called the real schismatics "cardinals and bishops inside the Vatican" – and said Pope Leo no longer represents the Church that leads souls to salvation.
Electroverse @Electroversenet Svalbard, a remote Arctic archipelago, holds inconvenient secrets about our climate history. A new study reveals it was up to 9C warmer around 10,000 years ago when CO2 was just 260 parts per million. Despite this warmth, glaciers didn't vanish. They survived, supported by increased snowfall. Svalbard then cooled for the next 8,000 years while CO2 kept rising. No tipping points, no runaway melt. Yet today's climate models project the same 8 to 9C of warming by the year 2100 (using the discredited RCP8.5 scenario), and predict widespread glacier loss. That directly contradicts the historical record. Even the study's authors admit the future may follow the past. Warmer, wetter conditions could bring more snowfall, stabilizing or even growing glaciers. The fatal flaw in climate modeling has raised its ugly head once again. It can't replicate history. And when the past contradicts your theory, it's the theory that's broken, not the past.
No one is good except God. All have fallen short. Everyone suffers from the weakening effects of original sin (The Mediatrix excepting). Immaculata pray for us!
It is so asinine to ask “why did they do that” as if any there could be any reason sufficient to justify it. It’s a disgusting error that never should have seen the light of day. Ever!
Monday, 21st July 1913, Protest of Solicitor Dorsey Wins Monday, July 21, 1913 Presents Evidence Showing Indictment of Negro Would Hinder Frank Prosecution. Here are the important developments of Monday in the Phagan case: The decision of the Grand Jury of Fulton County not to bring at this time an indictment against James Conley. The information that there is a strong probability of another postponement of the trial of Leo M. Frank. The Grand Jury's refusal to reopen its investigation of the Phagan murder mystery was a decided victory for the Solicitor after that body had overridden his request that no session be called to take up the matter in any of its aspects. A report that Judge L.S. Roan, who will preside at the Frank trial, had signified his desire that the case be put off until fall, gave rise to the expectation that another postponement will take place, and that the date probably will be set for some week in September. Defense Said To Be Willing. The defense also is said to be …Àteru
