If anyone STILL thinks Leo is pope after this, gotta handed to you my friend, it is not that you are ignorant, it’s that you either are a fool or you like this evilness.

Walk By The Spirit, Not Yourself The people recognized Jesus as God visiting His people, but they didn’t fully understand His divinity. To truly live by the Spirit, as St. Paul instructs, we must not only acknowledge our dependence on God but actively walk according to the Spirit, rejecting worldly ways and conforming ourselves to Christ. This requires humility and a willingness to be dependent on God, not just for salvation but for guidance in living a virtuous life. Fr.

Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Coalition Is Cracking. Here’s What Could Come Next. Sept. 3, 2026 nytimes.com/…09/03/opinion/politics/trump-immigra… By Jean Guerrero Ms. Guerrero, a contributing Opinion writer, is a journalist and author. Leer en español This spring, the prominent white nationalist Nick Fuentes decided that the war on immigrants was a lost cause. “Country’s over,” he said on his Rumble show. “We’re already a nonwhite country.” Earlier this year, he declared immigration a “dead issue,” arguing that President Trump “blew it” by linking arms with oligarchs and waging war on Iran. “Immigration is becoming one of these issues that is used almost exclusively just to trick white people,” he said, a rare display of clarity for a man whose many bigotries tend to orient him toward confusion. In an antisemitic post on X, he argued that anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim talk was a distraction. “Probably the best way to prevent Muslim immigrants from coming here or attacking us is to stop …More
8th Sept. 2026 MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY RELIGIOUS VOWS NOW HAVE TO BE MADE WITH VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL: ISLAM IS NOT A PATH TO SALVATION (AG 7, CCC 846). On Saturday the Missionaries of Charity of Mother Teresa brothers renewed their religious vows. The sisters were expected to do the same. As a community they believe outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation (AG 7, CCC 845,846).This would be the teaching of their Superiors and Religious Directors, based upon Vatican Council II rational and honest. They cannot choose to be dishonest and then renew vows.Vatican Council II is no more liberal as it was when Mother Teresa was alive. For the community Ad Gentes 7 indicates that Islamism is not a path to salvation.While invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 16 etc are not practical exceptions for AG 7 or EENS. This is the rational interpretation of Vatican Council II. The Nicene Creed tells the community that there is only one baptism for the forgiveness of sins: one known baptism. It is …More
Archbishop Renzo Pegoraro, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, claims that Catholics could morally assent to a law permitting assisted suicide in Italy. Speaking to the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire.it on September 6, he said: “From the Catholic side, it is a matter of assessing whether we will be faced with an ‘imperfect law’, to which it would nevertheless be moral to give one’s assent, in view of the fact that more permissive and libertarian laws could otherwise quickly be approved in Parliament, laws far more harmful to the dignity of the sick person and the value of life.” Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Pegoraro as President of the Pontifical Academy for Life on May 27, 2025. For a decade, he had already drawn attention for serious deviations from Catholic doctrine on matters of life, including statements that contraception might be morally permissible under certain circumstances. On March 25, 2026, Leo XIV appointed Pegoraro a titular bishop and gave him the personal …More

Proverbs 8:22-35 Our Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he had made any thing from the beginning. From eternity I was ordained & of old before the earth was made. The depths were not as yet, and I was now conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet gushed forth: the mountains with heavy hugeness stood not as yet: before the little hills I was brought forth: he had not yet made the earth, and the rivers, and the poles of the round world. When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and circuit he compassed the depths: When he established the firmament above, & poised the fountains of waters: when he compassed the sea with her limits, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their bounds: when he hanged the foundations of the earth, I was with him framing all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all time, playing in the world: & my delights to be with the children of men. Now therefore children hear …More
Bishop Patrick Neary of Saint Cloud, Minnesota, issued a diocesan warning against the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) after an unauthorized Mass was celebrated in the diocese. In a letter dated September 2, Bishop Neary said he had learned of a social-media post promoting a meeting at the restaurant Opole Pub to “explore bringing the Latin Mass” to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Opole. The same post advertised a Latin Mass for the following day at the Opole Ballpark Pavilion, part of the local baseball grounds. Monsignor Neary wrote that neither event was sanctioned by the diocese. Both, he said, involved a priest of the FSSPX — “a group recently declared by the Holy See to be in schism with the Catholic Church because of the illicit ordination of four bishops without a papal mandate.” The bishop told Catholics not to “support or participate in FSSPX-sponsored activities, including inviting FSSPX priests to celebrate the sacraments.” He warned that doing so “can place …More
A priest. Six bishops were excommunicated and have started the appeal process under canon law. The priest was NOT excommunicated. As bishop, he can make the mass illicit, but the mass is still valid.
EXCLUSIVE: Bishop Schneider calls for ‘fatherly charity’ towards SSPX and responds to Sacrosanctum Concilium General Audience Niwa Limbu Sep. 2, 2026 EXCLUSIVE: Bishop Athanasius Schneider has called for “fatherly charity and magnanimity” towards the SSPX and offered his assessment of the post-conciliar liturgical reform following Pope Leo XIV’s recent General Audience on Sacrosanctum Concilium Bishop Athanasius Schneider is one of the most respected and outspoken traditionalist prelates in the Church today. The auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan, he serves in a country where Catholics make up less than one per cent of the population. The archdiocese itself was established just 23 years ago, making the bishop’s see an unlikely place from which to emerge as a prominent voice of traditional Catholic thought. Nonetheless, Bishop Schneider has become a source of inspiration and hope for a generation of young priests devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass …More
