Leo XIV’s Appointee Honored as “Masonic Brother” in 2022: On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Rome Professor Umberto Longo to the Vatican’s Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. In December 2022, Longo gave a lecture in Venice on the Italian Freemason and comic artist Hugo Pratt (1927–1995). At the end, Gian-Paolo Barbi, Sovereign Grand Commander of the masonic lodge 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite', took the floor. He tapped Longo on the shoulder and addressed him as 'il fratello professor Longo' - 'Brother Professor Longo'. The phrase is noteworthy because older Masonic publications from 2013 and 2014 also identify an “Umberto Longo” as a Masonic “Brother” and Scottish Rite officer.
«il fratello professor Longo»: Questa settimana Leone XIV ha nominato il professor Umberto Longo membro del Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche. Nel dicembre 2022, Longo tenne a Venezia una conferenza su Hugo Pratt. Al termine della relazione, Gian-Paolo Barbi, presentatosi come Sovrano Gran Commendatore del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato, ringraziò il relatore con queste parole: «questa intensa emozione che il fratello professor Longo ci ha voluto donare con questa bellissima disquisizione». L’espressione «il fratello professor Longo», pronunciata dal vertice del Rito Scozzese, è significativa.
One more mason for the large number of masons in the Vatican. Prevost gives them high positions, to them and to the sodomites. It's more than obvious who Prevost serves.
Col. Douglas Macgregor, who has been consistently pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine in that war has been consistently wrong in his claims of Ukraine’s early demise, yet he has now created a series of scripted videos where he makes dramatic and suspicious claims. It appears to be a new tactic to gain some credibility on the internet which has become tired of his failed pro-Russian message. My main problem with his claims is the telltale issue that I always ask when a person is claiming super secret insider information, “How could he know what he is claiming?” and, it was real, why would his insider sources let him broadcast it to the world?
Life in the Making It all begins in silence: one cell meets another, and in an instant, a new, unique, and unrepeatable life emerges. The imagery unfolds ceaselessly—division, form, heartbeat—until there is no longer any doubt about what we are seeing: not a mass of tissue, but a tiny body, joined to its mother by a cord that serves as both bridge and lifeline. Hands reaching out, legs curled up, a face settling into sleep just as any human being does. And therein lies the wrenching realization: that very being—already capable of movement, sensation, and resembling us—is the one whose life is chosen to be ended in a late-term abortion. It is not an abstract cell that is being stopped; it is a story that already possessed form, expression, and a heartbeat of its own. That is why those who defend life from conception describe such a decision—particularly in the later stages—as an act of special cruelty: because the biological development itself, revealed without filters, leaves little room …okunengi
Vida en construcción Todo empieza en silencio: una célula se encuentra con otra y, en un instante, surge una vida nueva, única, irrepetible. La imagen avanza sin pausa —división, forma, latido— hasta que ya no queda duda de lo que estamos viendo: no una masa de tejido, sino un cuerpo pequeño, unido a su madre por un cordón que es puente y sustento a la vez. Manos que se buscan, piernas recogidas, un rostro que empieza a dormir como duerme cualquier ser humano. Y ahí está el desgarro: ese mismo ser, capaz ya de moverse, de sentir, de parecerse a nosotros, es el que en un aborto a término se decide interrumpir. No es una célula abstracta lo que se detiene: es una historia que ya tenía forma, gesto, latido propio. Por eso quienes defienden la vida desde la concepción llaman a esa decisión, en sus etapas más avanzadas, un acto especialmente cruel: porque el propio desarrollo biológico, mostrado sin filtros, deja poco espacio para la indiferencia. Quien defiende el valor de la vida desde la …okunengi
Bishop Gerard de Korte of’s-Hertogenbosch has responded critically to the open letter against the failed synodal project by his auxiliary bishop Rob Mutsaerts. Monsignor Mutsaerts did not consult him about this lengthy open letter, Bishop De Korte told Nd.nl on August 14. For him “a personal letter to the pope would have been the proper course of action, if Mutsaerts truly does not wish to sow division, as he writes”. Bishop de Korte added: “After all, a bishop or auxiliary bishop has his own means of communicating with the Bishop of Rome”. And: “In any case, at the request of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV, the Dutch bishops will continue building a synodal Church. On Friday, October 16, the bishops and Dutch religious orders will organize a national day of inspiration on synodality, at the St. John’s Centre in ’s-Hertogenbosch.” In 2020, because of differences with the liberal Bishop de Korte, Monsignor Mutsaerts stepped down from virtually all of his administrative duties in the …okunengi
@Jeffrey Ade Why is Russia our enemy? They are on the other side of the planet, they have never attacked the United States, they were our ally during WWII. Have they done anything that we have not done in the past? It is true that Russia has spread its errors throughout the world but so have we. We have exported abortion and contraception throughout the world, we have exported our "woke" ideology around the world, we pushed our COVID vaccine on the rest of the world ect. I have never understood why we have been told they are our enemy other then we were competing with them during the cold war to be the worlds superpower.
Sorry we are not fellow travelers. You and I are on different paths. I am on the path hopefully threw the narrow gates. You are skipping and singing and dancing on the road to ..... And why do you pick up stupid name calling you don't understand? Like calling me a slipper in another comment.
US Bishops are discussing the Mass in the Roman Rite among themselves and internally and [allegedly] want to be solicitous for the pastoral needs of those Catholics, Archbishop Paul Coakley, 71, of Oklahoma City told Raymond Arroyo. Archbishop Coakley is the president of the US bishops. He noticed "one of the dioceses in Texas has just this week relaxed some restrictions in order to make the Traditional Latin Mass more available, at least in that one diocese.” Arroyo asked what Catholics should do when diocesan Masses are increasingly restricted. “Well, it's a dilemma that many people who are attached to the Traditional Latin Mass are facing,” Coakley replied. He has encouraged Catholics to go to the local parish of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). Just outside Oklahoma City is the well-attended St. Michael’s Chapel in Bethany, served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The archbishop pretended to know little about it: “We still do have a chapel here that …okunengi
The last word, Archbishop? Paul VI all but eliminated the Old Mass, JP II opens it up a crack, Benedict says it was never really done away with and gives it broad circulation, Francis jumps on it, and now we are supposed to be waiting for Leo? Zigzag, zigzag. We have friends in the Detroit area who now attend at sede-vacantist church -- that's what the popes have wrought. And I know, our friends are outside the Church...well, maybe not.

Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of 's-Hertogenbosch wrote on August 13 an open letter to Leo XIV. Main phrases. - Does the synodal process actually help bring souls closer to Christ and to eternal salvation? […] What has all this actually yielded? Not: how many meetings were organized? Not: how many reports were written? Not: how many people participated? But: has faith become stronger? Has Christ been proclaimed more clearly? - When one asks such questions, it is impossible to consider the Synod a success. - What once began as a 2021–2024 synod threatens to become a permanent form of governance. - The classical synod was a means. In contemporary synodal discourse, synodality threatens to become an end in itself. - The Church is not a conversation but a received reality. For the Church does not begin with our dialogue. It begins with Christ. - Christ did not set up a discussion group. He called apostles. He gave them authority. He sent them out to proclaim, baptize, and teach. - Truth is …okunengi

Is there anyone who seriously thinks that this false prophet would abolish persecution of Latin Mass? Are there still so naive individuals who believe the propaganda machine of the evil sect in Vatican?
Ein englischer Bischof, dem die Vergewaltigung einer Minderjährigen vorgeworfen wird, erschien am Donnerstag vor Gericht. Bis zu seiner Anhörung im kommenden Monat darf er keinen Kontakt zu dem mutmaßlichen Opfer aufnehmen. Bischof David Oakley, 70, nahm per Video an der Anhörung vor dem Westminster Magistrates’ Court teil und wurde gegen Kaution freigelassen. Ihm werden zwei Vergewaltigungen eines damals unter 16-jährigen Mädchens zwischen 2000 und 2001 vorgeworfen, als er noch Priester war. Oakley war bereits Monate vor der Anklage untersucht und im September 2025 festgenommen worden. Einen Monat später nahm er aus offiziell „persönlichen Gründen“ eine Auszeit.
Bishop Vicente de Paula Ferreira, 55, of Livramento de Nossa Senhora in Bahia, Brazil, criticized the consecration of dioceses to St. Michael the Archangel. In an August 8 social-media post, Bishop Ferreira wrote: “Are there theological justifications for consecration to St. Michael? One consecrates oneself to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Isn’t the devil that is being fought rather imaginary? The greater exorcism should be of homophobia, femicide, racism, crimes against Indigenous peoples — of this legion of evils.” Ferreira’s comments came as dioceses across Brazil have been participating in “The Great Reconquest,” an initiative promoted by the Hesed Institute centered on devotion and consecration to St. Michael. According to ACI Digital, 34 Brazilian dioceses had been consecrated to St. Michael by August 11. #newsJjefxvmkpq

On August 13, Pope Leo XIV appointed Francesco Cesareo, 67, president emeritus of Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts, to the Vatican Committee for Historical Sciences. He was appointed alongside Umberto Longo, who is apparently a Freemason, and Polish historian Anna Barańska. Cesareo is married and the father of three adult children. From 2007 until 2022, he served as president of Assumption University. He left to live closer to his family and first grandchild and now teaches at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Pennsylvania. "LGBTQ-Friendly" University President During Cesareo's presidency, Assumption University recognized the homosexual student organization AU Allies and was listed as “LGBTQ-friendly” by the homosexual group 'New Ways Ministry'. The clearest controversy arose in 2020. Assumption's Campus Ministry circulated the U.S. bishops' document 'Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship'. The document called for protecting marriage as the lifelong union of …okunengi
Open Letter to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV August 13 , 2026 Open Letter to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV Holy Father, With reverence for the office entrusted to you as successor of Saint Peter, and in communion with the Church which Christ built upon the apostles, I address you with this open letter. I do not do so lightly. What leads me to speak these words publicly is a concern that ultimately transcends every other ecclesial consideration: the salvation of souls. Salus animarum suprema lex — the salvation of souls is the supreme law. My question is a simple and earnest one: does the synodal process actually help bring souls closer to Christ and to eternal salvation? That is the decisive question for me. Holy Father, I fully realize that the Petrine office bears a responsibility of which someone standing outside that office can only have a vague inkling. Precisely for this reason, I write these words not out of a lack of reverence for the papal office, but out of love for that same office.…okunengi

Cardinal Raymond Burke delivered a short video message to “those who are "discouraged by the persecution of the traditional Latin mass that is presently going on" (Wdtprs.com, August 13). The cardinal described the Mass in the Roman rite as "a tremendous good in the Church" that will "never be lost". "It is for us now even at the cost of suffering to fight for it that it be as available as possible to all the faithful who desire it." #newsItmmgdutxf
