Brazilian Bishop believes in "Goddess" and embraces "all sexual diversity": Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes, 64, of Brejo, Maranhão, presided over a Eucharist at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception on September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day. After Communion and before the final blessing, two young men recited the “Creed of the Youth of the Ecclesial Base Communities.” Developed in 2016, the text speaks of a “God/Goddess,” described as “liberating and revolutionary.” This creed explicitly rejects belief in a “hierarchical Church” while “embracing all sexual diversity.” Before the recitation, Bishop Mendes introduced the creed as a “supplication from the youth of Latin America, who stand before God asking him to come to meet us.”
A heterodox creed invoking a “God/Goddess” and featuring left-wing political language was recited at the annual “Cry of the Excluded” Mass celebrated by Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes of Brejo, Brazil.

The Euthanasia Bill in Britain is defeated, for now. The House of Commons has rejected the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, defeating the latest attempt to legalize assisted suicide in England and Wales. MPs voted 286 to 270 against the legislation at its second reading. This is a decisive reversal that ends the bill’s progress through Parliament. Had it passed, the law would have allowed terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of less than six months to receive “assistance” in ending their lives under “specified conditions.” Opposition came from far beyond religious and pro-life circles. Doctors, disability advocates, legal experts, and others warned that vulnerable people could face subtle pressure or coercion, while serious concerns remained about safeguards and the state of Britain’s palliative and hospice care. Archbishop John Sherrington of Liverpool welcomed the result and thanked MPs, healthcare professionals, lawyers, disability organizations, people of different …Dabalata

"On the seventh day God rested from all the work which he had done [cf. Gen 2.2]. The seventh article is the coming to judgement, in which we shall rest from all our works and labours. Let us call upon the Holy Spirit, who is Love, the bond between the Father and the Son. May he grant us so to be united with each of these seven days and articles, and in accord with them, that it may avail for his honour and the building-up of his Church."
There are so few African-American bishops because of “racism,” Washington Auxiliary Bishop Robert Boxie said in a September 7 interview with Catholic News Service. He was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on May 1. The numbers: Of 268 active U.S. bishops, five (2%) are Black. Black Americans make up 2% of U.S. Catholics and, over the past 20 years, about 2% of U.S. priestly ordinations.
Why are there so few Black bishops in America? “The short answer is racism.” America’s youngest bishop, Robert Boxie, Auxiliary of Washington.
Msgr. Roger Landry, 55, a prominent conservative U.S. priest, has been restricted from public ministry following non-sexual misconduct allegations by “multiple individuals.” The Diocese of Fall River said on September 11 that the allegations involve adults and possible violations of priestly codes of conduct in both Fall River and the Archdiocese of New York. After an initial investigation in New York, the diocese said there was “sufficient evidence” to impose restrictions while the case continues. Landry, who has also celebrated the traditional Roman Rite, denies wrongdoing. He says the accusations essentially concern alleged boundary violations between spiritual direction and friendship.

The priest behind the infamous “Eucharist at sea” has been appointed head of University Pastoral Ministry for the Archdiocese of Milan for the next five years. In July 2022, Don Mattia Bernasconi celebrated a Novus Ordo Mass waist-deep in the sea off Crotone, using an inflatable mattress as an “altar.” Since September 1, he has overseen the Archdiocese’s pastoral work with university students, while continuing as chaplain at Humanitas University, a position he has held since 2023.

Emma Bonino has died at 78. For decades, she was one of Italy’s most prominent Radical politicians. She was a leading campaigner for abortion, euthanasia, drug legalization, and more secular causes. Although she was not a medical professional, Bonino, according to her own testimony, performed over 10,000 illegal abortions. She is one of the most sinister figures in the history of Italy. Bonino nevertheless praised Francis, who maintained a warm personal relationship with her and personally visited her in 2024, bringing her flowers and chocolates.
An interesting exchange here between William F. Buckley Jr. and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen from 1970, where the good Bishop’s answers sound incredibly contemporary and not entirely satisfactory. Almost as if the Church has been in stasis for 50 years.
On the same day that Fulton Sheen will be beatified in St. Louis, September 24, an interfaith “Women of Faith” event will bring together speakers from Hinduism, Ahmadiyya Islam and the Baha’i religion. The Archdiocese of St. Louis is listed as a “professional supporter” of the organization. Hosted at a Hindu temple, the event aims to promote appreciation for the “beliefs, values and practices” of other religions. A light vegetarian supper will also be served.

I hope that these occasions may be a source of abundant blessings from the most high and a reason for joy: may the arrival of Rosh Ha-Shanah bring with it the promise of a peaceful renewal and the sweetness of an auspicious beginning; may the sacred silence of Yom Kippur be an occasion for peace and inner light; may the festival of Sukkot be filled with joy, gratitude and fellowship. In renewing my esteem and that of the entire Church, I ask the Eternal One to grant us growth in mutual friendship, in our city of Rome and throughout the world. Shalom alechem!"

Bishop Schneider: Document Against Co-Redemptrix Will One Day Be Cancelled Synodality is a “very cunning code word to undermine Catholic doctrine”, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told AdVaticanum on September 10. He believes the vagueness of the word is deliberate, a means of gradually adapting Catholic doctrine, morality and ecclesial structures to Protestantism and contemporary attitudes toward sexuality. Monsignor Schneider calls synodality the height of the modernist movement, leading toward relativism. He adds that this openness has one notable exception: the traditional Latin Mass. “This document will be cancelled” Responding to the document Mater Populi Fidelis against the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces, Bishop Schneider argues that the Church cannot cancel language found in missals and used by popes, saints and Doctors of the Church. He believes the document, not the titles, will eventually disappear: “I think, in the future, this document will be cancelled.” …Dabalata
He's one of our very good and faithful shepherds! "Peter do you love me?" Pray for him especially now when he's making it clear new church is not Christ's Church.
Schneider isn't a heretic to you people, is he?! All the bishops are heretics except for Schneider, Strickland, Mutsaerts, and Viganò! You have no shame! Schneider is just another heretic; everyone is a heretic except for you lot at Gloria.tv, handing out Catholic credentials.
