The Vatican's restrictions on the Latin Mass "isn't realistic" because young Catholics' growing attraction to the Church's liturgical tradition is "unstoppable", said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco speaking with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN. “It's what's drawing young people in and will continue to do so." According to Monsignor Cordileone, the popularity of the Mass among younger generations makes Traditionis Custodes difficult to sustain: "To be honest, I don't think it's realistic". And: "We look at the younger generation. They all love the tradition." "They love the more classical way that the Church worships, the traditional Mass," he continued. Archbishop Cordileone challenged recent comments by Cardinal Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, who said Leo XIV would not reverse Traditionis Custodes. "I don't know how well he knows the mind of the Holy Father. But I think one thing that's clear to everyone is the Holy Father wants to bring everyone …ተወሳኺ

The Diocese of Providence in Rhode Island is holding a series of “Listening Sessions” for homosexuals and their friends at four parishes. According to the diocesan website, Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, 59, is presiding at each gathering, which includes the celebration of the Eucharist, small-group sharing, and a community dinner. The diocesan announcement opens with Pope Francis' notorious words, “Todos, Todos, Todos” (“Everyone, Everyone, Everyone”). LepantoIn.org asked the diocese whether confession would be available and whether participants would be invited to repentance and conversion in accordance with Catholic teaching. Instead of answering those questions, the diocesan communications director replied only: “As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care.” Picture: LepantoIn.org, #newsVedmnhuvak
Environmental Propaganda in Paris Church. Worse than Germany: Since July 9, the nave of Saint-Eustache - one of Paris's largest historic churches - has housed Le Souffle, a 7-meter-tall laser-cut aluminum sculpture by contemporary artist Lydie Arickx. Suspended from the church's central vault, the work is presented as evoking deep-sea coral, the Tree of Life, and the human heart while promoting environmental awareness. The installation defaces the church through 29 September.

Saint Thomas Aquinas comments on Romans 1 that Paul teaches that sodomites are idolaters. Saint Paul also points out that homosexual activists are sodomites themselves. The "pink lobby" is delighted. The apostate and Marxist homosexual activist José Armando Álvarez Cano, in his rebellion against God, supports the unrepentant who are trapped in the vice of homosexuality and have identified with the sin God abhors, rather than calling them to repentance.

SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA - July 31 Priest (1491-1556) St. Ignatius was born in Loyola, Spain. He was a courtier and a soldier until an injury forced his retirement at age 30. While recuperating, he experienced metanoia. A book he was reading encouraged him to place himself amidst the scenes of the Gospel during prayer. With charity for God and zeal for souls, Ignatius vowed to evangelize the Holy Land together with Peter Faver and Francis Xavier. However, war broke out and prevented them from leaving. The group turned to the vicar of Jesus Christ and received approved for their order: the Society of Jesus. The Jesuits' vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to the pope made them effective clerical reformers during the Counter-Reformation. Our Lord promised Ignatius that the precious heritage of His Passion would never fail the Society. Ignatius was once cast into prison in Salamanca on suspicion of heresy. To a friend who expressed sympathy, he replied: "It is a sign that you have but …ተወሳኺ
Today, Pope Leo XIV issued a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State, replacing the 2023 constitution and codifying recent governance reforms in a 25-article text. The new law enshrines Francis' reforms in the constitution, notably allowing a non-cardinal — including a woman — to serve as President of the Vatican City State's Pontifical Commission and Governorship. Separation of Vatican City State and the Holy See The Pope remains constitutionally supreme. Article 1 states that he holds the full legislative, executive and judicial authority, meaning there is no separation of powers at the highest level. Article 2 explains that Vatican City State exists to guarantee the independence of the Holy See but is legally distinct from the Roman Curia and the institutions of the Holy See. Although this distinction has long existed in practice, it is now stated more explicitly. The clarification has implications for diplomacy, finances and legal responsibility.

Vatican Clergy Residence Becomes Four Star Hotel: Leo XIV has approved the conversion of the Domus Internationalis Paulus VI in Rome from a residence for clergy into a four-star hotel. This is confirmed for the first time in the 2025 APSA financial report. Retired cardinals, bishops, former nuncios, and other clergy living in the residence wrote to Leo XIV, asking that the project be halted. But the plan is moving forward and is now in its final stages. The building dates back to the 15th century and became famous in 2013 when, shortly after his election, Pope Francis returned to pay his hotel bill personally. The Vatican expects to receive approximately €5 million per year in rent from the property.
«Con il Santo Padre Francesco era stato deciso che non si poteva certamente fare un hotel a cinque stelle, per motivi di credibilità e d'immagine; alla fine sarà soltanto un quattro stelle». Un'affermazione che aveva provocato non poco imbarazzo...
America's missile defense capabilities are critically depleted. Running out of interceptors for THAAD, PAC-3, and PAC-2 means we can't defend against North Korea or Russia, leaving strategic interests in the Pacific and Europe vulnerable.

En août, Léon XIV appelle à rendre les villes … Face à l'anonymat et à la solitude qui marquent la vie urbaine, il encourage les chrétiens à bâtir des communautés accueillantes, où chacun puisse trouver sa place et où "personne ne se sente invisible". Dans sa prière, Léon XIV s'adresse au "Bon Pasteur", présent au cœur des rues, des immeubles et des quartiers populaires comme des centres urbains les plus modernes. Il rappelle que si les villes offrent de nombreuses opportunités, elles sont aussi marquées par l'anonymat, l'isolement et une profonde solitude, particulièrement chez les jeunes. Donne-nous une foi créative et profonde, qui ne reste pas dans les mots, mais qui s’incarne dans des gestes simples et proches. Fais de nous une Église en sortie, capable de tendre la main aux périphéries, d’apporter la consolation dans la solitude, et de semer la fraternité là où règne l’indifférence. Seigneur, que nos communautés urbaines soient des foyers ouverts et accueillants, des lieux où l’on …ተወሳኺ

"38. Another person, of Valentia, in 1613, committed a great crime, which he was ashamed to confess, and therefore made sacrilegious confessions. But, being troubled with great remorse of conscience, he went one day to visit the altar of Our Lady of Halle, that he might obtain relief. When he arrived at the door of the church, which stood open, he felt himself thrust back by an invisible power. Then he determined to make his confession, and immediately entered. After making a general confession, he went home entirely consoled."

In the year 1610, there lived in Turin an obstinate heretic, who even on his death-bed would not be converted by all that was said to him by the various priests who were with him for eight successive days. At length one of them, almost by force, brought him to have recourse to Mary, with these words: Mother of Jesus, help me: "Mater Jesu, assiste mihi." And the heretic, as if awakened from sleep, exclaimed, "I will die a Catholic;" and indeed he became reconciled to the Church, and died in two hours. 36. Another infidel, who was living in India, was about to die, abandoned by all, but as he had heard the Christians so much extol the power of Mary, he had recourse to her, and the blessed Virgin appeared to …ተወሳኺ
Holiness Requires Love Amid Great Suffering St. Paul’s gospel centers on Jesus Christ’s resurrection and descent from David, fulfilling Old Testament promises. Persecution for living piously in Christ is inevitable, as the world hates the Lord. The true challenge lies in accepting persecution with charity and love, as Jesus did, rather than focusing on the injustice of others’ actions. Fr.
