The Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, Spain, has distanced itself on August 5 from comments by one of its priests after he called for the "reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity" following the invasion into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a statement, the archdiocese said Rev. Javier Aizpún's remarks were "strictly personal opinions" that "neither represent nor are shared in any way by this diocesan Church." The controversy stemmed from a post on X.com in which Aizpún, parish priest of San Juan Evangelista in Huarte and a canon of Pamplona Cathedral, wrote: "May Our Lady of Africa, patron saint of Ceuta, inspire the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. May we finish what Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone." In subsequent posts, he also called for Spain to "bombard Rabat" and "open fire if necessary" in response to the mass crossing of invaders into Ceuta. Archbishop Florencio Roselló sought an explanation from Rev. Aizpún, describing the …Lebih
This priest should really have known how offensive his remarks were. Apparently he was under the impression that he was a priest in the Catholic Church where Jesus Christ ordered His followers to “go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. No. He’s a Conciliarist! What is absolutely amazing, though, is that Conciliarists who call themselves Catholic, are so indoctrinated they believe the SSPX is schismatic.
Confusion? Distress??? Dear Lady we beg for the conversion of the invaders of Ceuta, and especially of their masters who are using this invasion to punish Spain, who dared to speak out against the genocide of Palestinians.
Novus Ordo Diserbu Anjing: Pada 26 Juni, sebuah video perayaan Ekaristi di Paroki Santo Domingo Savio di Villavicencio, Kolombia, menjadi viral setelah dua ekor anjing mulai melolong bersama Pastor Carlos Mario Peña Lopera saat ia menyanyikan sebuah himne. Kedua anjing tersebut, Simón dan Luna, adalah anjing liar yang diadopsi oleh pastor tersebut dan kini secara rutin menemaninya dalam perayaan Ekaristi, sering kali duduk di dekat altar. Menurut Pastor Peña Lopera, Luna sebelumnya belum pernah ikut melolong bersama Simón. Pastor tersebut melanjutkan nyanyian pujian tersebut tanpa terganggu.

Keuskupan Agung Pamplona dan Tudela, Spanyol, pada tanggal 5 Agustus telah mengambil jarak dari pernyataan yang dilontarkan oleh salah satu imamnya setelah ia menyerukan “penaklukan kembali Maroko dan konversinya ke agama Kristen” menyusul invasi ke wilayah kantong Spanyol di Ceuta. Dalam sebuah pernyataan, keuskupan agung tersebut mengatakan bahwa pernyataan Pastor Javier Aizpún hanyalah "pendapat pribadi semata" yang "sama sekali tidak mewakili maupun didukung oleh Gereja keuskupan ini." Kontroversi ini bermula dari sebuah postingan di X.com di mana Aizpún, pastor paroki San Juan Evangelista di Huarte dan seorang kanonik Katedral Pamplona, menulis: "Semoga Bunda Maria dari Afrika, santo pelindung Ceuta, mengilhami penaklukan kembali Maroko dan konversinya ke agama Kristen. Semoga kita dapat menyelesaikan apa yang belum diselesaikan oleh Ratu Isabella sang Katolik.” Dalam postingan-postingan berikutnya, ia juga menyerukan agar Spanyol “mengebom Rabat” dan “menembak jika perlu” sebagai …Lebih
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher wrote. "It is the sacrament at the heart of our …Lebih

Pope Leo Appears To Publicly Acknowledge Black Ancestry For First Time Pope Leo has further fueled discussions about his heritage by seemingly acknowledging his multiracial background. The pope's comments, made as part of a larger conversation about being an American pope, are the closest that the head of the Catholic Church has made about his family's racial history, which has been a topic of discussion since he assumed leadership of the world's largest religious organization. Pope Leo acknowledges heritage of 'both slaves and slaveowners' in his genealogy "I come from a family that my grandparents were immigrants. On my mother's side we have people who were both slaves and slaveowners," Pope Leo XIV told NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas. Leo made the comment as part of a larger conversation about being the first ever pope from the United States. Leo's comments about his diverse heritage represent the clearest public comments that he has made about his racial background, which has …Lebih
New Mexico sued the Department of Justice and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche Wednesday for "stonewalling" its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. In a 40-page filing, New Mexico asked for access to unredacted documents from the Epstein files that it claimed the DOJ has been intentionally withholding. Zorro Ranch, located roughly 30 miles south of Santa Fe in the high desert, was rumored to be a hotbed of illicit activity under Epstein's stewardship. Some of the notorious child sex offender's victims, including Virginia Giuffre, claimed they were trafficked at the New Mexico estate, and emails issued by ranch staffers allege that the bodies of at least two girls were buried under the building by Epstein's order, according to documents made public by the Justice Department via the Epstein files. At one point, Epstein even contemplated turning the estate, which he purchased in 1993, into a headquarters for genetic engineering experiments. "New Mexico has a duty to …Lebih
Ceuta Immigrants Are "Saints": Spanish priest Fr Ángel García, founder of the charity Mensajeros de la Paz, described invaders in Ceuta as "saints" because they had remained calm in difficult circumstances. Speaking to laSexta television in Ceuta on August 3, the priest said that many people would have reacted violently in the same circumstances, but the invaders were peacefully waiting for an opportunity to enter the reception centre. His remarks contrast with reports of unrest, including incidents of looting, violence and the carrying of machetes.
In the Moroccan invasion of Ceuta, people with katanas, jihadists, and all kinds of criminals have entered, but for "Father Ángel," they are true "saints."

The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Lebih
Ordo Yesuit terus melakukan reorganisasi besar-besaran terhadap kehadirannya di Katalonia, karena berkurangnya jumlah anggota Ordo Yesuit dan menua-nya anggota memaksa penutupan beberapa rumah Ordo. Komunitas Kelas Pekerja Ditutup, Sekolah-Sekolah Elite Tetap Beroperasi Penutupan pertama yang terjadi baru-baru ini terjadi di Bellvitge, di mana komunitas Jesuit yang didirikan pada tahun 1968 mengakhiri kehadirannya pada akhir tahun 2025. Komunitas tersebut merupakan salah satu karya sosial unggulan para Jesuit di Spanyol pascaperang. Para Jesuit juga menyerahkan tanggung jawab atas paroki Mare de Déu de Bellvitge.

Oh, but but,... all the novus ordo clergy don't need Latin at all. What do they need Latin for? Plus, even the demons hate the sacred Latin of the Church—especially its prayers, Gregorian chant, and above all the solemn rite of exorcism.
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …Lebih

The Society of Jesus is continuing a major reorganization of its presence in Catalonia as declining numbers of Jesuits and an aging membership force the closure of houses. Working-Class Communities Close, Elite Schools Remain The first recent closure came in Bellvitge, where the Jesuit community founded in 1968 ended its presence at the close of 2025. It was one of the Jesuits' flagship social apostolates in post-war Spain. The Jesuits also handed over responsibility for the parish of Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. The Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII school continues to operate within the Jesuit education network. The reorganization of Jesuit communities continued in El Clot, where the Jesuit residential community at the end of the academic year 2025-2026. The Society cited the same reasons: fewer active Jesuits, a lack of vocations, and the high average age of its members.

Seven years after his death, the Capuchin bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise still lacks a proper grave inscription in the Capuchin cemetery of San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy. Bishop Laise became internationally known for defending the practice of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. During debates within the Argentine Episcopal Conference in 1996 over the introduction of Communion in the hand, he chose not to implement the indult in his diocese, maintaining that receiving Communion on the tongue remained the universal norm of the Church. After retiring, he settled in San Giovanni Rotondo, where he spent his final years serving as a confessor. Although a marble slab was placed over his grave at the time of his burial in 2019, it still bears only the temporary paper funeral notice affixed on the day of his funeral. No permanent inscription has ever been added. The case has attracted renewed attention following an investigation by Italian journalist Simone Ortolani, as reported by Messa in Latino. …Lebih
