Mexican Bishop Hops Left and Right Before the Altar: Bishop José Leopoldo González González, 71, of San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico, hopped and danced in liturgical vestments, including his mitre, during Emaús 2026. The diocesan gathering brought together more than 5,000 young Catholics on 23–24 May in San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco. González explained that a young man had told him the dance was simple—“one step to the right and another to the left” - and joked that he had “fallen into the trap.”
During Emaús 2026 in San Miguel el Alto, Bishop José Leopoldo González González drew attention for his energetic participation with young people during the activities and Mass.

An unusual controversy has erupted in the Church in Angola after an anonymous letter sent to the Apostolic Nunciature in Luanda called for the next bishop of Mbanza Kongo to be white, reports the Substack.com-account The Pillar (August 7). The authors argue that the historic diocese has not developed sufficiently under its three Angolan bishops, while insisting the request is not racially motivated. The Diocese of Mbanza Kongo has rejected the suggestion that the letter represents its faithful. Angolan Catholic commentator Paulo Viana believes the dispute may actually be about dissatisfaction with Bishop Vicente Carlos Kiaziku, whose health problems have kept him away for extended periods, and the battle over his eventual successor. Viana suggests the letter could be intended to derail the possible appointment of Bishop António Lungieki Bengui, auxiliary bishop of Luanda. The controversy is especially striking in Mbanza Kongo, the cradle of Christianity in Angola and home of Henrique of …Meira
Den 6 augusti utnämnde påven Leo XIV 15 nya rådgivare till Dikasteriet för ordensfolk, som leds av prefekten syster Simona Brambilla. Bland de nya rådgivarna finns två biskopar (Alfonso Vincenzo Amarante och Kevin Otieno Mwandha), fem präster, däribland en abbot (Ignasi Fossas, Damián Astigueta, Maurizio Bevilacqua, Benjamin Earl och Flavien Mambueni), två ordensbröder (Antoine Kazindu och Emili Turú) samt sex ordenssystrar (Chiara Lorenzato, Maria Nirmalini, María Rosaura González Casas, Mary Lembo, Patricia Murray och Maria do Disterro Rocha Santos). Leo XIV har återigen utnämnt liberala, synodala personer, vilket illustreras av dessa fyra personalval. Mindre enhetlighet i liturgin, mer kreativitet Den indiska systern Maria Nirmalini, A.C., var medlem i synoden om synodalitet (2023) och hoppades på ”en liturgisk reform, särskilt av mässan, med mindre tonvikt på enhetlighet och mer på kreativitet”.

Spanske biskopper uenige om indvandrere i Ceuta: Ærkebiskop Luis Argüello fra Valladolid, formand for den spanske biskopkonference, betegnede tilstrømningen som »en invasion«, hvilket stod i kontrast til det lokale bispedømmes humanitære indsats. Argüello sagde, at tilstrømningen var en del af en bredere politisk strategi, og han argumenterede for, at migranterne blev brugt i kampen om »penge og magt«, og at »demografi er et våben«.
On August 6, Pope Leo XIV appointed 15 new consultors to the Dicastery for Religious, headed by Prefect Sr Simona Brambilla. The new consultors comprise two bishops (Alfonso Vincenzo Amarante and Kevin Otieno Mwandha), five priests, including one abbot (Ignasi Fossas, Damián Astigueta, Maurizio Bevilacqua, Benjamin Earl and Flavien Mambueni), two religious brothers (Antoine Kazindu and Emili Turú), and six religious sisters (Chiara Lorenzato, Maria Nirmalini, María Rosaura González Casas, Mary Lembo, Patricia Murray and Maria do Disterro Rocha Santos). Leo XIV has again appointed liberal, synodal figures, illustrated by these four personnel choices. Less Uniformity in Liturgy, More Creativity Indian Sister Maria Nirmalini, A.C. was a member of the Synod on Synodality (2023) and hoped for “liturgical reform, particularly of the Mass with less emphasis on uniformity and more on creativity.” In the same VaticanNews.va interview she demanded “inclusion of women in all leadership/decision …Meira
Sadly, most Catholics are now "Conciliar Catholics." And since Conciliarism is an ever-evolving religion its tenets are constantly being updated. But make no mistake, Conciliarism is Satanically driven and Satan's ultimate goal is to destroy the Catholic Church. Faithful Catholics know that will never happen, but the authentic Catholic Church will suffer greatly as Rome moves further away from the truth through Synodality. And while the role of the SSPX is still unclear to many, all should recognize that it is the only priestly organization celebrating the TLM that adheres exclusively to the authentic teachings that pre-dated Vatican II. The most revealing clue as to its legitimacy, however, is that the SSPX is the only priestly organization that the Conciliarists in Rome regularly attack and work to destroy. There are relatively few Catholics who assist at the SSPX Masses, but as Jesus told us, when He returns He expects to find very few who have not loss their faith.
Brigitte Stegemann var en 83 år gammel oldemor og kristen. Den 10. juli døde hun gjennom Canadas program for medisinsk dødshjelp (MAiD) i Ontario. Stegemann, som hadde fått diagnosen uhelbredelig magesvulst i stadium IV, hadde ønsket å dø en naturlig død. Men mens hennes barnebarn og mangeårige juridiske representant, Brigitte Kranendonk, var på ferie, diskuterte helsepersonell MAiD med Stegemann. Hun ble deretter ansett som i stand til å velge MAiD, til tross for at hun angivelig ikke var i stand til å svare på enkle spørsmål om sin egen familie. Canadian Catholic News rapporterte at Kranendonk sa at bestemoren hennes opprinnelig hadde avvist MAiD, men ble overtalt til å be om det mens hun var borte. Da Kranendonk kom tilbake og spurte bestemoren om hun virkelig ønsket å dø, var Stegemanns reaksjon hjerteskjærende. «Skal jeg dø på fredag? Vil de drepe meg på fredag?», skal hun ha spurt gjennom tårene. Familien hennes sier at hun senere gjentatte ganger uttrykte anger og fortalte dem at …Meira
Brigitte Stegemann was an 83-year-old great-grandmother and a Christian. On July 10, she died through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program in Ontario. Diagnosed with terminal Stage IV stomach cancer, Stegemann had wanted to die naturally. But while her granddaughter and longtime legal representative, Brigitte Kranendonk, was away on vacation, medical personnel discussed MAiD with Stegemann. She was subsequently deemed capable of choosing MAiD despite allegedly being unable to answer basic questions about her own family. Canadian Catholic News reported that Kranendonk said her grandmother had originally rejected MAiD but was persuaded to request it during her absence. When Kranendonk returned and asked her grandmother whether she really wanted to die, Stegemann’s reaction was heartbreaking. “I’m supposed to die on Friday? They want to kill me on Friday?”, she reportedly asked through tears. Her family says she later repeatedly expressed regret, telling them she had made a …Meira

Kardinal Baldassarre Reina, generalvikar for bispedømmet Roma, nektet å gi tillatelse til en katolsk begravelse for Bruno Battisti D’Amario, en gitarist og sentral skikkelse i den italienske frimurerbevegelsen. D’Amario, som døde 5. august i en alder av 88 år, var kjent for sitt samarbeid med Ennio Morricone og spilte gitar på berømte filmmusikkalbum, blant annet «A Fistful of Dollars», «The Good, the Bad and the Ugly» og «Once Upon a Time in the West». Begravelsen hans var opprinnelig godkjent i Santa Maria in Montesanto, Romas «kunstnernes kirke». Etter hans død avslørte imidlertid Grand Orient of Italy at D’Amario hadde hatt viktige roller innen frimureriet. Han hadde grunnlagt en romersk losje, komponert organisasjonens offisielle hymne og hatt flere ledende stillinger. Kirkelige myndigheter skal angivelig ikke ha vært klar over hans tilknytning til frimureriet da de godkjente begravelsen. Etter at opplysningene kom frem, henviste basilikaens rektor, erkebiskop Antonio Staglianò, …Meira
Kardinal Baldassarre Reina, generalvikarie för stiftet i Rom, vägrade att bevilja tillstånd till en katolsk begravning för Bruno Battisti D’Amario, en gitarrist och framstående person inom den italienska frimurarrörelsen. D’Amario, som avled den 5 augusti vid 88 års ålder, var känd för sitt samarbete med Ennio Morricone och spelade gitarr på berömda filmmusiker, däribland ”En handfull dollar”, ”Den gode, den onde och den fule” och ”En gång i Västern”. Hans begravning hade ursprungligen godkänts i Santa Maria in Montesanto, Roms ”konstnärernas kyrka”.

– Folha de S. Paulo, June 4, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Our great, beautiful, and beloved Brazil. These are just a few of the adjectives that — though deserved — have become worn out from constant use. Far more accurate and genuine to our reality would be to describe this country as indecipherable, for it truly is in more than one way. Today, I will focus on just one of those ways. Imagine, dear reader, a farmer living with his family in a spacious house, surrounded by the wide-open spaces that make up the rural property. Wide indeed, stretching as far as the eye can see. It so happens that the family has grown considerably, and there is no longer enough room in the big house for the farmer’s offspring. Quarrels erupt on every side. Some wish to enlarge the cramped corners they occupy and, to justify this, argue that the house is, in a sense, a common asset belonging to the entire family. They bellow, with the metallic insistence of busybodies, a handful of clichés about the …Meira

I will be sharing my small library of stories in honor of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki martyrs of Japan in honor of their death and ascent into heaven on August 6th and 9th, 1945.
Nagasaki was specifically targeted by the US because it was the epicenter of Catholicism in Japan and a threat to their satanic nwo. Our brothers and sisters in Christ are martyrs because of that fact. Let us pray to them and ask for their protection in this trying time!
Thank you for this. I believe it and it is a shame the US did not agree to the Japanese surrender earlier (there would have been no North Korea, and China may have remained free, plus all those lives would have been spared).
