Bishop Richard Williamson ( January 2025) allegedly confirmed to Sean Johnson that he had conditionally consecrated a Archbishop Carlo Viganò, 85, a bishop in 2023. Johnson published a 2023 email from Williamson on Seraphim54.substack.com on June 19. Johnson is a former seminarian of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) and father of nine children who now attends Mass at the US-based Congregation of Saint Pius V (CSPV), a traditionalist splinter group from the FSSPX. Johnson's publication is consistent with information previously received by Gloria.tv from independent ecclesiastical sources. Viganò was consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II in 1992. Since 2023, a persistent rumour about the conditional [second] consecration of Viganò has circulated. Johnson’s article claims that he emailed Viganò twice in November and December 2023 asking about those rumours but didn’t receive a reply. Then, Johnson contacted Williamson. The central statement attributed to Bishop …níos mó

Recently, Archbishop Davide Carbonaro of the Archdiocese of Potenza–Muro Lucano–Marsico Nuovo, Italy, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation at the Roman parish of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP).
Sua Eccellenza Reverendissima Monsignor Davide Carbonaro ha conferito il sacramento della Cresima presso la Parrocchia della Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini a Roma, affidata alla Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pietro (FSSP).
The leaked documents also provide a rare glimpse into the subjects scheduled for discussion during this year’s retreat. Among the reported sessions are discussions titled “Navigating WWIII” and “Battlefield Technologies,” suggesting a heavy focus on geopolitical tensions and military developments.
The Diocese of Arlington, in Northern Virginia, has announced the creation of a new apostolate entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), Bishop Michael Burbidge announced on June 19. Father Jonathan Romanoski FSSP and Father John Audino FSSP have been appointed to the Chaplaincy. Following the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, the Diocese of Arlington experienced a unprecedented eradication of Masses in the Roman rite. With 21 locations, Arlington Diocese was one of the strongest for the Roman Rite in the United States. In 2022, the Diocese of Arlington reduced the number of "permitted" Mass locations from 21 to 8. Of those eight locations, only three - Saint Rita in Alexandria, Saint John the Beloved in McLean, and Saint Anthony of Padua Mission in Falls Church - received Vatican permission to continue Masses in parish churches. The remaining five communities were relocated to non-parish churches. #newsYopiywpnrj
The text argues that saints are often portrayed today as gentle and effortless figures, which misrepresents true holiness. Using two images of Saint Anthony of Padua, it contrasts an early depiction showing him as strong and determined with a modern sentimental portrayal that ignores the hardships of his life. Saint Anthony dedicated himself to prayer, study, preaching, and defending the faith, enduring suffering and constant struggle. The author emphasizes that sanctity requires courage, sacrifice, and perseverance. True holiness is not achieved without effort, and saints should be depicted as spiritual warriors whose struggles are part of their glory.
There is a tendency nowadays to depict saints as people who bypass the realities of life and somehow attain sanctity with little effort. Here we have two pictures of Saint Anthony of Padua. The first is a fresco in the basilica dedicated to the saint in Padua, Italy, and it is the oldest known depiction of the great thirteenth century apostle and miracle worker. In this picture, we see a powerfully built Franciscan, his expression young though mature, serious and determined. The second is a holy card bought in the souvenir shop of the same basilica. This depiction is obviously not inspired by the fresco. Here we see a delicate, rosy cheeked young man, his face devoid of the natural masculinity necessarily brought on by the preacher’s arduous life. His is sentimental, of soft countenance, devoid of the personality and strength of character necessary for climbing the mountain of perfection. Anthony was born Ferdinand of Bouillon of a Portuguese noble family. Early in life he engaged in …níos mó

Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq | Shalom World News An ancient witness of Chaldean Christian faith in Iraq has been desecrated in Sharanish, a historic Christian village near Zakho, close to the Iraq–Turkey border. Video from inside Mar Kiriakos Church shows extensive vandalism, with sacred spaces damaged and church property destroyed. The incident has left the local community mourning the incident, which is another blow to a village that has endured years of instability and displacement. Sharanish, home to the Chaldean churches of Mart Shmune and Mar Kiriakos, remains a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Mesopotamia. As investigations continue, the faithful hold on to a message carried through centuries: a wounded church can still be a living testimony of faith.
The Argentine Bishops' Conference issued a tribute to the abortion activist Taty Almeida, 95, following her death on June 14. In a June 15 statement signed by Archbishop Marcelo Colombo, president of the conference, and Bishop Raúl Pizarro, secretary general, the bishops sarcastically praised Almeida's "historic commitment to human rights". They even “thanked God for sustaining her courage”. Almeida was one of Argentina's best-known “human-rights” activists. She was a longtime member of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo movement about people who disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship. The bishops' statement ignored her support for abortion. Almeida publicly supported Argentina's abortion movement. She frequently appeared wearing the green scarf that became the symbol of the campaign for legal abortion and backed the effort that led to abortion legalization in 2020. Almeida was closely associated with sectors of the Argentine caviar left and often appeared alongside progressive …níos mó
The homosexual group Outreach, founded and led by the homosexual activist James Martin SJ, organises its annual conference on June 19-21 at the Jesuit-run Georgetown University. From 2021 to 2024, Francis sent an endorsement message. In 2026, two US Cardinals support the homosexual conference. Outreach published endorsement letters by Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington and Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago (below). Cardinal McElroy wrote on June 19 that he is “delighted” to welcome the homosexual group in Washington, adding: “For I know that the Holy Spirit will be profoundly present in our meetings and discussions at this key time in the history of our Church and our nation.” He wrote that the conference is taking place “at a moment when the pastoral foundations laid by Pope Francis for authentic ministry to and with the LGBT community are being deepened and refined by Pope Leo.” Cardinal McElroy further stressed that the conference comes “directly after the release of Study …níos mó
Fri Jun 19, 2026 - 4:54 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In Madrid, a church has set up TV screens for visitors to come watch Spain’s World Cup before the tabernacle, which is shrouded with a red curtain. In Innsbruck Cathedral in Austria, people gather to eat pasta and socialize at a long table in front of another tabernacle, this one left exposed. Meanwhile, a group of pilgrims traveling with a Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) priest were denied permission to offer the Latin Mass three times in three different cities in Italy. At San Giovanni Rotondo, they were forced to assist at Mass in a hotel basement. At Assisi, they learned that an Orthodox Divine Liturgy was taking place even as they were refused the ability to offer the TLM. Catholic commentator Chris Jackson recently highlighted how these recent scenes are emblematic of what the postconciliar Church has become, revealing a larger pattern of exploiting instead of honoring the sacred. The full import of these events, however …
Traditional Latin Mass Denied in Ávila – Priest Forced to Celebrate in Hotel Room Father João Silveira, a missionary priest, accompanied American pilgrims to Ávila, Spain – one of the most historically significant Catholic cities, home to St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross. The group had arranged to use a chapel for Mass. Then they were told: the Traditional Latin Mass is prohibited in the Diocese of Ávila. According to Father Silveira, the Vicar General informed him that Bishop Jesús Rico García, appointed in 2023, had banned the old rite. Unable to use the chapel, the pilgrims ended up celebrating Mass in a hotel room. Father Silveira questioned: "Would God be honored more in a hotel room than in a church?" He argued that if the traditional liturgy shaped saints like Teresa and John of the Cross, restricting it in their own city is hard to understand. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions over Traditionis Custodes and the future of the Traditional Latin Mass. The …níos mó
They Want To Implement A Global System Of Digital Identification “For All” That Would Be Connected To Our Bank Accounts. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out where this could be heading. For a moment, I would like for you to imagine a rather chilling “fictional” scenario. Not too far in the future, all “global citizens” are required to possess proper “digital identification” or else they will not be permitted to access the new global digital financial system. Central banks all over the globe have rolled out their new “central bank digital currencies”, but in order to use those currencies you must “prove that you are who you say you are”, and the only way to do that is with the new global system of digital identification that has been introduced. As cash is phased out, those that resist being part of the new global system are increasingly pushed to the outer fringes of society. Hardly anyone is willing to employ them any longer, it has become virtually impossible for them to get …níos mó
Daryl Davis was once an aspiring and successful musician. He had played with Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Muddy Waters. However, his true claim to fame, the legacy he has forged came in a very different way. He went out of his way to befriend KKK Grand wizard, Roger Kelly. He spent years building trust between them and laying the foundation of what became a friendship. They broke bread at each other’s tables. They welcomed each other into their homes. Davis even went as far attending Klan rallies as a guest of Kelly. Most importantly, Davis cultivated an atmosphere of listening. He didn’t hate Kelly because Kelly hated him. Instead he listened to Roger Kelly. And eventually, Kelly started listening to him. This lead to the two realizing they had far more in common than not. In the end, Kelly denounced his ties to the KKK. So much so, he handed his hood and robe to Daryl Davis. In total, Davis has seen over 200 klan members walk away from the KKK and hand over their robes …níos mó
