Leo XIV’s Course Is Traditionis Custodes, Not Summorum Pontificum - Munich Archdiocese:
The traditional Roman Mass has “indisputably shaped the life of faith of countless believers over the centuries and produced saints,” Marcus Nelles, head of the Canon Law Department of the Archdiocese of Munich, told Certamen.info on August 3. Traditionis custodes, he added, contains “no judgment that the older form is ‘harmful.’” Nelles' decisive ‘but’ is that Summorum Pontificum is “entirely replaced”. A priest’s former right to celebrate the Mass without episcopal permission “no longer exists.” A return to Summorum Pontificum is “not within the Archbishop’s competence.” The conclusion: “The present course is therefore not a return to Summorum Pontificum, but rather generous application within the framework established by Traditionis custodes.”

München: Rückkehr zu Summorum Pontificum liegt „nicht in der Zuständigkeit des Erzbischofs“
Das Erzbischöfliche Ordinariat München hat auf eine Anfrage von Certamen e.V. geantwortet. Auf die Frage, ob das Erzbistum zu einer großzügigeren Regelung im Sinn von Summorum Pontificum zurückkehren wolle, erklärt Dr. Marcus Nelles, Abteilungsleiter Kirchenrecht: „Vorab sei betont, dass die überlieferte römische Messe unbestritten über Jahrhunderte das Glaubensleben zahlloser Gläubiger geformt und Heilige hervorgebracht hat. Diese geistlichen Früchte stelle ich in keiner Weise in Abrede.“ Traditionis custodes enthalte „kein Urteil darüber, dass die ältere Form ‚schädlich‘ sei“.
Dennoch fällt die Antwort abschlägig aus. Traditionis custodes habe Summorum Pontificum „in Gänze abgelöst“, das freie Zelebrationsrecht des Priesters existiere „nicht mehr“, eine Rückkehr liege „nicht in der Zuständigkeit des Erzbischofs“. Mit Dekret vom 22. August 2022 sind in der Erzdiözese acht Kirchen und Kapellen …More

Pope Leo XIV appointed Professor Umberto Longo to the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The speaker argues that Longo has an extensive public connection to Freemasonry, including a 2014 Scottish Rite publication identifying him as “Fratello” (brother), a 2019 appearance at a Grand Oriente d’Italia conference, and a 2022 event where the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite addressed him on camera as “Brother Professor Longo.”

Pope Leo Appoints Freemason To Vatican

Pope Leo XIV appointed Professor Umberto Longo to the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The speaker argues that Longo has an extensive public connection to Freemasonry, including a 2014 Scottish Rite publication identifying him as “Fratello” (brother), a 2019 appearance at a Grand Oriente d’Italia conference, and a 2022 event where the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite addressed him on camera as “Brother Professor Longo.” The appointment raises a fundamental question: How does this square with the Catholic Church’s long-standing condemnation of Freemasonry? Church teaching, from Pope Clement XII through Leo XIII to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, has consistently held that Masonic membership is incompatible with Catholic faith. Longo’s public association with Masonic organizations appears to contradict that teaching. John-Henry argues the appointment is not an isolated incident but a signal of the Vatican’s direction under Pope Leo XIV. The evidence …

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.

From a Christian perspective, several of these events are precisely the places where the Cross becomes concrete rather than theoretical. Burying a child or watching a marriage die does not automatically produce holiness, but it removes the possibility of remaining superficial. The man either turns toward grace or he turns toward bitterness and self-destruction. There is rarely a comfortable middle option after those particular losses.

Leo XIV Backs Liturgical Program after 'Traditionis Custodes'

Leo XIV has sent a message to Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. The occasion is a meeting at Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon devoted to liturgical formation. Dated June 29, the brief message was published today in the Vatican bulletin.
The text appears to reinforce Cardinal Roche’s recent statement that Leo XIV does not intend to abolish Traditionis Custodes.
Leo XIV calls for respect for “the rites promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI and Pope Saint John Paul II.” He adds that this respect must spring from “sincere fidelity to ecclesial communion.”
Furthermore, Leo XIV relies heavily on Francis’ 2022 Apostolic Letter Desiderio Desideravi, quoting it several times. That document was closely connected to the post Traditionis Custodes liturgical program and contains a strong defence of the post-Vatican II reform.

Leo XIV Appoints 🌈-Friendly Personnel: "I Apologize to Homosexuals"

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 …More

Bishop Mutsaerts to Leo XIV: "Impossible to Consider the Synod a Success"

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 …More

@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.

It seems that holy men have traveled to lonely desolate high places for centuries for spiritual renewal

V.R.S.

The "pilgrimage" to the top of the mountain (with no shrine) is a very modern idea.

steack

Bishop Strickland : "it is why men such as Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre later warned that modernism had not disappeared."

There is a question that has been weighing heavily on my heart, and it is a difficult question to ask: “Are we becoming a Church without God?”
Of course, I do not mean that God has abandoned His Church. Jesus Christ promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against her. Nor do I mean that there are not countless faithful Catholics, holy priests, religious, bishops, fathers and mothers who love God deeply and are striving every day to live the Catholic faith.
I mean something different.
I am asking whether we have gradually constructed a way of thinking about the Church – a way of governing her, speaking about her, worshipping within her, and determining her priorities – that increasingly functions as though the supernatural were no longer the central reality. Because Catholicism is supernatural or it is nothing.
Think about the Catholic faith our ancestors knew. They believed in heaven. They believed in hell. They believed in angels and demons. They believed that Satan was real …More

There is no longer a Catholic Church. So, the answer to your question is "Te, we are a Church without God."
Now if you look at Montini do you recall Pius XII threw him out of Rome into Milan? Why did Pacelli give Montini an archdiocese? Because he was saintly? No, it was because the Vatican worked (and still does) that way-- insult no one in the Cardinalate publicly, Keep everything in peritu. Had I been Pacelli I would have ended Montini's pathway to the Chair of Peter. Because he did not we got a Vatican 2 to work its will and way towards the end of the Catholic Church;s-- an end in the appearance of the latest Leo.

Bishop Questions St. Michael Devotion, Calls for "Exorcism" of Homophobia

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.

The Palestinian families had been trapped in their homes since Sunday by Israeli settlers, who had erected a tent nearby and, residents said, attacked them, including with rocks.
