Leo XIV will wear liturgical vestments by his homosexual tailor Filippo Sorcinelli, 51, during the celebrations today in Assisi and on 22 August in Rimini. Sorcinelli said this in an interview with Corriere.it on 2 August. The Assisi vestments draw inspiration from 13th- and 14th-century paintings of the Porziuncola, while the Rimini vestments, created for a Eucharist by the sea, feature porthole motifs symbolizing water as the source of life. Sorcinelli says every papal vestment is designed specifically for the place and liturgy in which it will be used. He first met the future pope when he was still a cardinal, fitting him with a mitre presented by Augustinian confreres from Vienna. Sorcinelli says he later saw the same mitre reappear after Prevost's election as pope. Leo XIV's election helped Sorcinelli overcome a deep existential crisis. After more than a decade designing vestments for Pope Francis, Sorcinelli had considered leaving liturgical design to focus on organ music and his …ተጨማሪ

Hände weg. mRNA-Grippeimpfstoff zugelassen – doch die Zulassungsdaten werfen Fragen auf. Die veröffentlichten Studiendaten zeigen: 2,0 % der Teilnehmer mit der mRNA-Impfung erkrankten an einer laborbestätigten Grippe. 2,8 % der Teilnehmer mit der herkömmlichen Vergleichsimpfung erkrankten. Der absolute Unterschied beträgt also 0,8 Prozentpunkte. Gleichzeitig berichten die Studiendaten über häufigere lokale und systemische Nebenwirkungen nach der mRNA-Impfung – etwa Schmerzen an der Einstichstelle, Müdigkeit und Kopfschmerzen.

Faucis größte Lüge sollte ihn auf den elektrischen Stuhl bringen – Jay Bhattacharya und Gateway Pundit hatten die ganze Zeit recht. Für den Psychopathen im Laborkittel gibt es keine Ehre. Dr. Tony Faucis größte Lüge sollte ihm eine lebenslange Haftstrafe oder den elektrischen Stuhl einbringen. Vor zwei Wochen veröffentlichte US-Senator Rand Paul, Vorsitzender des Senatsausschusses für Heimatschutz, Tagebucheinträge des ehemaligen COVID-Beraters des Weißen Hauses, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Die Veröffentlichung offenbart Faucis bizarre Besessenheit von Ruhm und deutet zudem darauf hin, dass er die COVID-Sterblichkeitsrate für weitaus niedriger hielt, als er es den Abgeordneten unter Eid gegenüber dargestellt hatte. Die Tagebuchaufzeichnungen wurden im Rahmen der laufenden parlamentarischen Untersuchung des Ausschusses öffentlich gemacht. Senator Paul äußerte sich auf X zu dem Tagebuch und dessen Veröffentlichung wie folgt: „Meine Untersuchung hat ergeben, dass Anthony Fauci Tagebuch geführt hat …ተጨማሪ
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 …ተጨማሪ

Priest says migrants who swarmed Spanish city are ‘saints’
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 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 …ተጨማሪ
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.
Novus Ordo Goes to the Dogs: On 26 June, a video of a Eucharistic celebration at the Santo Domingo Savio parish in Villavicencio, Colombia, went viral after two dogs started howling along with Rev. Carlos Mario Peña Lopera as he sang a hymn. The dogs, Simón and Luna, are strays that the priest took in and who now regularly accompany him at Eucharists, often sitting near the altar. According to Rev. Peña Lopera, Luna had not previously joined in the howling alongside Simón. The priest continued the hymn without interruption.

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 …ተጨማሪ

Cost of Trump’s Namesake Warships Likely to Rise by 50 Percent or More President Trump’s goal of building a “golden fleet” of 15 battleships could cost $275 billion, according to a government estimate. nytimes.com/…olitics/trump-namesake-warships-cost… By John Ismay Reporting from Washington Aug. 5, 2026 A new class of warships that President Trump says will anchor a “golden fleet” for the Navy is expected to cost at least 50 percent more than estimated earlier, according to a government report released on Wednesday. The first planned Trump-class battleship, the U.S.S. Defiant, is likely to cost $23.4 billion, $8 billion more than the Navy initially indicated.

The estimates were calculated by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which said that the first of the battleships might take eight years or longer to …ተጨማሪ

The Winnipeg Statement was an influential and controversial pastoral letter issued by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) on September 27, 1968. Released during a plenary assembly in St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba, the document served as the Canadian hierarchy's official response to Pope Paul VI’s papal encyclical, Humanae vitae, which reaffirmed the Catholic Church's absolute prohibition on artificial birth control. [1] The statement became a historical milestone due to its unique stance on individual conscience, which many interpreted as a departure or dissent from official Vatican teaching.
