Cardinal Mark Ouellet, former Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, endorsed lay governance in the Church with the same arguments with which he previously criticized it, the Substack.com Account ‘The Pillar’ noticed. Cardinal Ouellet defended the idea of laypeople to positions of authority in the Roman Curia on November 16 on VaticanNews.va as a "Spirit-led development", “a prophetic gesture” and an “ecclesiological advance”. Only four years ago, he came with the same arguments to the opposite conclusion. Earlier Critique of “Juridical Mentality” In 2022, Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda, a Jesuit and canonist, wrote in defence of Francis’ novelties that governing authority in the Church is vested in the pope, who can delegate his authority to anyone he deems prudent, and does not come from the sacrament of Holy Orders. In August 2022, Cardinal Ouellet refuted in L’Osservatore Romano this “juridical mentality”. The idea would be “a Copernican revolution in the governance of the …Lebih

New York Cardinal accuses US Vice President JD Vance of False Statement: In an EWTN interview on February 20, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop Emeritus of New York, was asked to comment on US Vice President JD Vance. His answer: “I’ve met him a number of times. He’s a very good guy. I enjoy him a lot. I agree with a bunch of the things he talks about. At times, though, I’ve said, ‘Uh-oh — can’t agree with you there.’ He and I had a little tête-à-tête, as you probably know, when he suggested that bishops in the United States were pro-immigrant because we were making money. I told him that was not only untrue — it was scurrilous. And he apologized. He said that was out of line, and that it wasn’t true.”
JD Vance alledgely admitted to Cardinal Dolan that he lied when he claimed Catholic bishops were “pro-immigrant because they wanted to make money.”
Correct @Robert B! It's understandable that JD Vance was not prepared to back up his statement at that moment and in an act of respect he stepped back and apologized. I would be surprised if JD Vance has not done his due diligence on that topic since then and would be able to establish just how dependent many US Catholic churches are on their often majority Hispanic congregations are today. Even CARA (the "independent" data gathering arm of the USCCB acknowledges that 40% of American Catholics today are Hispanic.
Uskup Emanuel Shaleta dari Eparki Katolik Kasdim di San Diego, California, telah mengajukan pengunduran dirinya menyusul penyelidikan yang diperintahkan oleh Vatikan atas tuduhan pelanggaran keuangan yang signifikan dan perilaku pribadi yang tidak pantas. Pengunduran diri tersebut belum diterima oleh Leo XIV. Investigasi Keuangan Penyelidikan dimulai pada November 2024, ketika anggota dewan keuangan di Katedral Santo Petrus Kasdim di El Cajon, California, menemukan ketidakberesan dalam pendapatan sewa dari aula sosial paroki, yang menghasilkan sekitar $ 33.990 per bulan. Menurut dokumen yang ditinjau oleh Substack.com-Account The Pillar (19 Februari): - Setidaknya delapan bulan sewa dilaporkan dibayarkan secara tunai langsung kepada uskup. - Rekening paroki kemudian "diganti" dengan menggunakan cek yang diambil dari dana yang diperuntukkan bagi bantuan amal bagi orang miskin. - Setidaknya $ 427.345 ditangani dengan cara ini. - Tambahan $30.000 dalam bentuk persembahan Misa diduga diproses …Lebih
On February 5, Leo XIV received priests and monks representing the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Malankara, and Syriac schismatic groups, which he referred to as "churches." Catholics believe that Jesus Christ founded one church. Pope Leo XIV said: "Dear friends, the historic and cultural differences among our churches represent a wonderful mosaic of our shared Christian heritage, which we can all appreciate." He wants "to support each other so that we may grow in our shared faith in Christ." "When we remove the prejudices within ourselves and open our hearts, we grow in charity, work more closely together, and strengthen our bonds of unity in Christ."

According to church tradition, the Apostle Matthew primarily preached in Judea before traveling to establish churches in Ethiopia (likely near the Caspian Sea), Persia, and Macedonia. He is considered a founder of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is believed to have converted many, establishing early Christian communities in these regions. Apostle Mark (the Evangelist) is primarily revered for founding the Church of Alexandria in Egypt around 49 A.D., which became the foundation for the Coptic Orthodox Church. He also established the School of Alexandria, ordained the first bishop (Anianos) and clergy in Egypt, and preached throughout the Pentapolis, Judea, Asia Minor, and Rome.

On February 21, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller wrote on kath.net about the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. His slightly shortened key points: - There is no doubt that the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X agrees with the Catholic faith in substance (except regarding the Second Vatican Council, which the Fraternity wrongly interprets as a break with tradition). - If they reject the Second Vatican Council wholly or in part, they contradict themselves since they rightly admit that the Council did not define any new dogma binding on all Catholics. Heresies Have Entered the Church - Even if other ecclesial communities claim to be Catholic because they largely agree with the Church's faith, they are not Catholic if they do not formally recognize the Pope as the supreme authority and maintain sacramental and canonical unity with him. - Not only the Priestly Fraternity but also many Catholics complain that, under the pretext of church renewal through self-secularization, serious doctrinal …Lebih
This is the essence of the conciliar monstrosity: jockeying for position instead of seeking truth. Truth no longer matters: it's all ecclesial "power centers" seeking influence. It's never about truth.
Cardinal Müller has weighed in on the discussion about the SSPX episcopal consecrations. Echoing the position he articulated in 2017, he advises against moving forward with new consecrations, while still leaving open the path toward a canonical solution. He also cautions that the Society’s stance could be leveraged by dissenting groups as a way to undermine faithful Catholics.
Pada tanggal 21 Februari, Kardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller menulis di kath.net tentang Persaudaraan Imamat Santo Pius X. Poin-poin pentingnya sedikit dipersingkat: - Pius X setuju dengan iman Katolik secara substansi (kecuali mengenai Konsili Vatikan II, yang ditafsirkan secara keliru oleh Persaudaraan ini sebagai sebuah pelanggaran terhadap tradisi). - Jika mereka menolak Konsili Vatikan II secara keseluruhan atau sebagian, mereka bertentangan dengan diri mereka sendiri karena mereka dengan benar mengakui bahwa Konsili tersebut tidak mendefinisikan dogma baru yang mengikat semua umat Katolik. Ajaran Sesat Telah Memasuki Gereja - Sekalipun komunitas-komunitas gerejawi lain mengklaim diri mereka sebagai Katolik karena mereka secara garis besar setuju dengan iman Gereja, mereka bukanlah Katolik jika mereka tidak secara resmi mengakui Paus sebagai otoritas tertinggi dan mempertahankan kesatuan sakramental dan kanonik dengannya. - Tidak hanya Persaudaraan Imamat tetapi juga banyak umat Katolik …Lebih
SilereNonPossum.com mentions why a recent appointment by Leo XIV causes alarm. Sister Nina Benedikta Krapić, the new vice director of the Vatican’s press office, is is a staunch loyalist of Slovenian theologian Ms Nataša Govekar, who is a close friend of Marko Rupnik. Govekar recommended Krapić for the position in the Dicastery for Communication. Govekar was appointed by Francis as director of the theological-pastoral directorate of the Dicastery for Communication. Following Rupnik's sexual scandal, Govekar was one of the main supporters of Rupnik who prevented his artwork from being removed from the Vatican News website.
Uskup Agung Filippo Iannone sangat membela sinodalitas, dengan menyatakan bahwa perlawanan terhadapnya bukan berasal dari masalah struktural atau doktrinal, tetapi dari kurangnya pertobatan. Dia membuat pernyataan ini dalam kapasitasnya sebagai Presiden Komisi Kepausan untuk Amerika Latin dalam sebuah pesan untuk Hari Amerika Hispanik yang akan datang pada tanggal 1 Maret. Uskup Agung Iannone adalah Prefek Dikasteri untuk para Uskup. Menurutnya, "kurangnya pertobatan" adalah alasan utama mengapa tema-tema tertentu masih membutuhkan asimilasi pribadi dan komunal yang lebih dalam. Dia menerapkan diagnosis ini secara khusus pada sinodalitas. "Seperti yang kita semua tahu, Paus Fransiskus mengajak kita untuk melakukan pembaharuan sinodal Gereja, yang dimotivasi bukan karena ide inovatif ini atau itu, tetapi sebagai bentuk kesetiaan pada Injil dan eklesiologi konstitusi Lumen gentium. Paus Leo XIV terus membimbing Gereja di sepanjang jalan ini, yang untuk sebagian besar sekali lagi mengusulkan …Lebih
Robin Ward, 60, the former director (2006 to 2025) of the Anglican seminary St. Stephen’s House, was received into the Catholic Church on February 14 at St. Michael’s Abbey by Abbot Dom Cuthbert Brogan. Ward was ordained a cleric of the Church of England in 1992. A married father of two and a scholar of patristics and church history, Ward cited the influence of John Henry Newman - whose name he chose at confirmation - and said that questions about the nature of the church led him to convert. Since 1992, approximately 700 Anglican clergy and religious leaders in Great Britain have converted to Catholicism.

Bishop-bishop Itali seharusnya berbincang mengenai apa jus isu yang mereka ingin mengambil tahu akan, contohnya: kekurangan tenaga paderi, pengerahan dioceses “secara bebas”, kata Pope Francis kepada bishop Itali di Vatican. Menurut VaticanNews.va (22hb Mei), Francis berkata, bahawa tiada ketakutan yang harus ada pada seseorang dalam mengajukan bantahannya. Turut dikata-nya, “Ia bukanlah sejenis dosa bagi seseorang membuat kritikan terhadap Pope di sini, ia merupakan tindakan yang diizinkan.” Francis pernah berkata sebegitu pada sebelum ini, namun, dilihat bahawa sesiapa yang mengkritik (pope) akan menghadapi tindakan olehnya. #newsYozkkkkfap
