US Bishop bans St. Michael prayer after Mass.
Bishop Mark Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has directed priests to discontinue the communal recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel immediately before or after Mass.
In his October 16 article, he claims that in order to celebrate the liturgy “in accordance with the mind of the Church” priests need to “catechize the people of God as we move away from additional prayers recited together immediately before, during, and immediately after Mass.”
Additional prayers - including those to St. Michael, St. Francis, and the Holy Spirit - should not become regular additions to the celebration of Mass. He cited the Second Vatican Council's call for a liturgy marked by “noble simplicity.”

For years the Rosary, novena prayers and the St. Michael prayer have been prayed either before or after Mass. This bishop is just driving more Catholics away from the Novus Ordo Mass and hopefully into the TLM.
Bebo’s FriendsZelensky:
The war will cost €155 billion next year. And we need at least another €70 billion from you for defense, weapons and our resilience.
This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us deter Russia.
Remember well: Ukraine was offered a set at NATO, but it was so corrupt, it would not join, and now it is too late.
The love and bond that exists between parents and their children is extraordinary and beautiful, the way God willed it to be.
Diplomazia dall’ospedale – La telefonata tra Putin e Leone XIV è stata un’iniziativa del Papa per mediare nella guerra contro l’Ucraina
«È stato il Santo Padre a prendere l’iniziativa» della telefonata al presidente russo Putin, «per perorare la causa di questa città assediata, nella quale si trovano circa 2.000 civili che hanno bisogno di vie di fuga, di corridoi umanitari. Credo che il Papa abbia chiesto una tregua per consentire sia l’arrivo di aiuti umanitari, in particolare di generi alimentari, sia l’evacuazione di coloro che devono lasciare la città». È quanto ha affermato il Segretario di Stato vaticano, il cardinale Pietro Parolin, dopo la telefonata tra Leone XIV e Putin. «Spero — ha aggiunto — che, di fronte a una richiesta del Santo Padre, il presidente Putin, per così dire, accetti di mettere in pratica ciò che gli è stato chiesto».
Cardinals once dressed like they were proud of being Catholic. Even a bird was named after them! Now these prelates look like old crows.
Questa mattina il Papa ha celebrato la Santa Messa alle 12 in una sala del decimo piano dell'ospedale. Ha distribuito lui la Comunione.

How the Jews Changed Catholic Thinking | From “Look” Magazine, Volume 30 No. 2 by Joseph Roddy January 25, 1966
madbaron | For the simple tenets of their faith, most Roman Catholics rely on the catechism’s hard questions and imprimatured answers. Children in Church schools memorize its passages, which they rarely forget the rest of their lives. In the catechism, they learn that Catholic dogma does not change and, far more vividly, that Jews killed Jesus Christ. Because of that Christian concept, for the past 20 centuries anti- Semitism spread as a kind of social disease on the body of mankind. Its incidence rose and fell, but anti-Semites were never quite out of style. The ill-minded who argued all other matters could still join in contempt for Jews. It was a gentlemen’s agreement that carried into Auschwitz.
Few Catholics were ever directly taught to hate Jews. Yet Catholic teaching could not get around the New Testament account that Jews provoked the Crucifixion. The gas chambers were …
While we shouldn't hate them, we still must not trust them or let them influence the Catholic Church or our lives.
China unilaterally chooses a bishop, and Leo XIV retroactively “appoints” him.
The Vatican press service announced today that Father Ignatius Ding Zuyao, 40, was consecrated Bishop of Haimen, in China's Jiangsu province. He is now the youngest bishop worldwide.
Leo XIV reportedly confirmed his appointment on 24 August 2026.
However, Ding was selected unilateral on 14 May 2026 by the Chinese selection process - 102 days before the alleged "appointment" by Leo XIV.
Ding was consecrated by Bishop Joseph Shen Bin of Shanghai. The latter is vice-president of the Chinese governmental ‘Patriotic Association’.
During Ding's consecration, the secretary-general of the Chinese Bishops' Conference read the approval document issued by that body.
During an episcopal consecration in the Church, the papal bull is read - not so today.
Furthermore, AsiaNews.it highlights a pattern in China's episcopal appointments. Ding is the youngest bishop in the world. Four of the five bishops appointed in China in …
If one does not know how to properly vest for Mass, that is a sign he is not ready for any assignment, especially an episcopal position. Wear an amice and cover your collar.
Leo XIV promoted Bishop Paolo Andreolli today to Ponta de Pedras, Brazil. The video is from his episcopal consecration in April 2023 in the Cathedral of Belém, including an indigenous-style ceremonial gesture with a maraca-rattle.
This farce is not bringing people back into the Church. Instead, it is driving them away, saying the pagan cults are fine, go join them.

Very few people care anymore. TV, the radio, computers, and smart phones occupy their time, and the users are in their own little world.
In his interview with the Pillar, Fr. James Martin claims that an example of gay Catholics being “treated like dirt” is being asked to refrain from reception of the Holy Eucharist if they are sexually active. In reality, this teaching has its roots directly in St. Paul (1 Cor 11)
Only Catholics who have fasted and are in the state of grace may receive Holy Communion. Whoever is in mortal sin and receives the Blessed Sacrament commits the mortal sin of sacrilege.

Before prelates wore cassocks. Now they look and act like Protestants.
