From Failure at EWTN to Vatican Communication Reform? This morning, Leo XIV received the new Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, the divorced Zionist Maria Montserrat Alvarado, in audience. During his pontificate, Leo XIV has met the current Prefect, Paolo Ruffini, only rarely and has not held private audiences with other senior Vatican communications officials, including Matteo Bruni, Andrea Tornielli, and Andrea Monda, seeing them only at public events. Alvarado will officially take office in November. Last year, her effort to consolidate EWTN's international news operations under a single EwtnNews.com platform did not achieve its intended goal. The project remained English-only and failed to become the successful international news site originally envisioned.
"Preserving the precious treasure of the traditional liturgy is part of preserving the Deposit of Faith," Bishop Athanasius Schneider said in his homily on August 2 in Limerick, Ireland, at the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. He is currently celebrating Mass and delivering talks in various locations across Ireland, including Cobh, Leixlip, Monaghan and Ardee. Previously, he was in Africa. In July, he led the golden jubilee celebrations of the Congregation of the Mothers and Missionaries of the Holy Cross in Puma, Tanzania. Interfering with the Liturgy Destroys Religion In Sunday's homily, Bishop Schneider recalled that "history has proved a thousand times that there is nothing more dangerous for a religion - nothing more likely to result in discontent, unrest, division, and apostasy - than interference with the liturgy and, consequently, with religious sensibility." He recalled the apostolic rule: "Antiquity was retained. Novelty was rejected." Quoting Dom Prosper Guéranger …Ētahi atu
03.08.2025 CARDINAL AND BISHOPS IN PAKISTAN SAY OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION ACCORDING TO VATICAN COUNCIL II INTERPRETED RATIONALLY. No denial of reports on Internet The cardinals and bishops in Pakistan are saying outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, according to Vatican Council II interpreted only rationally. Ad Gentes 7 is aligned with extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 845-846, while LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, Gs 22 etc in Vatican Council II are not practical exceptions for AG 7, EENS, CCC 845-846 and the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass. The Catholic Church is compared, by St. Thomas Aquinas, to a ship in which all need to enter for salvation, similar to the Ark of Noah. This is the pre and post Conciliar teaching. This teaching will be taught at the Catechetical Centers and educational institutions in Pakistan. This was the teaching over the …Ētahi atu

The Prisoner Who Returned to Celebrate the Eucharist On 31 July 2026, Cardinal Ernest Simoni celebrated the Eucharist at the former communist prison camp of Spaç in Albania. There, he spent years imprisoned and subjected to forced labor after his arrest (1963). He remained imprisoned until 1981. In a message for the occasion, Pope Leo XIV wrote that "no prison can separate a person from the love of Christ."

Leo XIV approved Cardinal Arthur Roche's text against the Traditional Latin Mass, reaffirming Francis' Traditionis Custodes, reports LaRazon.es on August 2. The text was distributed to about 170 cardinals at the January 7 consistory. Key phrase: "This newspaper has been able to confirm that the cardinal distributed the text at the request of Leo XIV and therefore with the Pope's approval of its contents." According to the newspaper, Cardinal Roche and officials from his dicastery drafted the document at the Pope's request. Leo XIV then personally reviewed it. "He did not change a single comma," Vatican sources said, adding that "the distribution of the document to the cardinals was intended to make the new Pope's position on this issue visible." The one-and-a-half-page document defended Traditionis Custodes, describing Tradition as a "living river" rather than a static preservation of past forms. It claimed that the Novus Ordo is fully consistent with authentic Tradition. Picture: Arthur …Ētahi atu
"The Church is, at least in the West, in a time of great difficulty, even of confusion, both at the doctrinal level and at the moral and disciplinary level", Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlFoglio.it on August 2. For Cardinal Sarah, it is "a tragedy, indeed a real and proper sin", that there is "a kind of war" and "fierce conflicts" over the liturgy. Main quote: "No one has authority over the rites, which arise from the centuries-long history of the Church. The rites cannot be arbitrarily abolished, and no one can say that a rite no longer exists from one day to the next." The Cardinal wants to return to Benedict XVI.'s Summorum Pontificum, which allows the Mass in the Roman rite alongside the Novus Ordo: "Over the decades, the holy people of God will be able to choose which form best corresponds to their need for faith, silence and spirituality." He added: "Some excesses on the part of those attached to the extraordinary form are, in part, justified by the dramatic and widespread abuses …Ētahi atu
High Altar for Church of FSSP: In September 2025, the stately church of the Immaculate Conception in Lobith, the Netherlands, was already closed. The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) acquired the church with the consent of the Archdiocese of Utrecht. Since November, the Mass in the Roman rite has been celebrated there. Dutch priest Paolo D'Angona reports that in recent days, the church received this magnificent high altar from another church that had to be closed.

"Synodality is a neologism invented by Bergoglio to destroy the Catholic Church, to democratize and Protestantize it. Let's call things by their name, my dears, because I'm fed up with being taken for fools! The Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Roman, not synodal. That's anti-Catholic. What can synodality possibly give us? Well, the Church was already full of foxes, and now it will be even more so. Jesus Christ founded a hierarchical, non-democratic Church. It's not that Catholicism isn't democratic, but rather that it's anti-democratic, because Jesus Christ was condemned to death democratically. All the Greek philosophers were anti-democratic. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and so on. Even Cicero (in ancient Rome) was."

The retired Catholic priest Rev. Winfried Abel, 87, of the Diocese of Fulda, Germany, has come under criticism after publishing a letter (article's picture) in a local newspaper criticizing comments made by Berlin Archbishop Heiner Koch about the city's homosexual march. The letter was written in the aftermath of the Islamic terrorist attack in Berlin, in which a man drove a van into participants of the annual homosexual march, killing one woman and injuring dozens. Priest Against "Public Glorification of Perversion" Archbishop Koch had described the homosexual march as "a joyful and moving celebration." Rev. Abel replied: "A Catholic bishop therefore calls the parade of shamelessness and the public glorification of perversion a 'joyful and moving celebration'?" He asked: "Have the shepherds of the Church not been entrusted with the prophetic mission of interpreting such events in the light of the Gospel?" While unequivocally condemning the terrorist attack, Rev. Abel argued that Christians …Ētahi atu
Never Forget God During Life's Trials The gospel reading emphasizes God’s care for us, highlighting that we are of greater value than sparrows. The true question is not whether God remembers us, but whether we remember Him, especially during difficult times. We should strive to acknowledge and glorify God in all circumstances, recognizing His will and trusting in His providence. Fr.
