Today, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X has published the coats of arms and episcopal mottos of the four bishops to be ordained on Wednesday. Fr Pascal Schreiber's Family Lions Fr Pascal Schreiber has chosen the motto Virgo Fidelis ("Virgin Most Faithful"), one of the invocations from the Litany of Loreto. Episcopal mottos are usually drawn from the Bible or express the bishop's personal mission. His coat of arms contains personal references. The two lions are taken from his family's coat of arms. Each holds a golden quill, a canting reference to the surname Schreiber ("scribe"). The colours black, red, and gold are a nod to his German homeland. Fr Michael Goldade's Twelve Ears of Wheat Fr Michael Goldade's motto, Adeamus cum fiducia ("Let us go with confidence"), comes from Hebrews 4:16. The defining feature of his coat of arms is the twelve ears of wheat. Besides symbolizing the Eucharist, they recall North Dakota and Kansas, his places of origin and upbringing, also his …badan
"..for many centuries the Church went in another direction..developing a philosophy and a morality full of classifications in which it ordered who can receive Communion and who cannot, putting labels on them..terrible that this happened to us..Francis changed that.." Cardinal Tucho Fernández
After the election of Leo XIV, Aldo Maria Valli wanted to believe in the new pope and in the possibility of a change of direction, he admitted on his blog on June 25. Valli was the longtime Vatican correspondent for Italy’s public broadcaster, RAI. But: “The cold shower (or rather, a whole series of cold showers) quickly woke me from that dream in the form of statements fully in line with the Bergoglian disaster and a succession of ‘peace & love’ initiatives, marked by a shallow humanitarianism completely devoid of references to transcendence, sin, conversion, and the salvation of the soul.” On the consistory on Friday and Saturday, he writes: “Under Leo XIV, the Church is not merely avoiding any reversal of course; it is enthusiastically reaffirming the synodal model, transforming it into a permanent method of ecclesial governance.” Valli points to the names of the cardinals (Ryś, Fernández, Brislin, and Grech) chosen to lead the principal sessions. It is, he says, a gathering of …badan
And the poisonous menu Prevost serves up in his rebellion against God—the worship of false gods and the paganism that violates the First Commandment, as well as disobedience and defiance of God’s NATURAL law and the rejection of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit through the profanation of the body—by means of sodomy, adultery, and every kind of immorality and sexual perversion.
"...And you feel like crying: for your friend, for the papacy, and for the Church." What a terrible misfortune... and we all have conservative friends...
Catholic writers, leaders and prominent figures share their reading lists for the warmest months of 2026. It seems like only yesterday that we published our Lenten reading recommendations, but here we are unrolling our 2026 summer reading list, which is altogether a very different animal than the books we recommended for the Season of Penance. Summer books shouldn’t necessarily be unchallenging. In fact, it’s a perfect time for books that require the uninterrupted lounging-around time that summer affords, whether at the beach or pool, or in a hammock in the back yard. It’s the perfect time to get truly lost in a book — so lost that upon putting it down you feel a bit dazed, the way you might feel stumbling out of a movie theater into the blazing sun. Those potentially-out-of-body-experience reads ought to be chosen carefully. To that end, we’ve asked a few Catholic writers, leaders and prominent figures what they are reading this summer. Here’s what they told us: Alberto Fernandez,…

What God Values, World Despises The world often misunderstands and undervalues spiritual pursuits, viewing them as wasteful. However, from God’s perspective, these pursuits are invaluable and essential for spiritual growth and becoming saints. We should embrace this perspective, focusing on God and living our lives for Him, regardless of worldly judgment. Fr.

"And I look to the God who gave me life, and I run to the blessed Virgin who toppled the cave of pride of the ancient serpent. In this way I become a strong stone in God’s building. And the ravenous wolf who expired on the hook of divinity can no longer overcome me. And in this way I acknowledge the sweetest good, that is humility, in the height of God."
[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; born: Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/died: Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] 3 .The tabernacle And I came to a tabernacle, the inside of which was made of the hardest steel. And entering in, I performed works of light where before I had done deeds of darkness. In this tabernacle, therefore, towards the north, I set up a pillar of unpolished iron on which I hung small fans of various feathers moving back and forth. I found manna, and I ate it. Towards the east I built a fortification of square stones, kindling a fire within. Here I drank myrrh-flavoured wine with grape-must. Towards the south I made a tower of square stones on which I hung red shields; in the windows I placed trumpets of ivory. And in the middle of the tower I poured out honey and prepared a …badan

Au territoire de Goleto, près de Nusco, saint Guillaume confesseur, père des Ermites du Mont Vierge (en Campanie). Sanctoral Saint Guillaume de Verceil, Abbé, Fondateur de la Congrégation des Ermites Ancienne et fameuse ville de Lombardie, Verceil servit de berceau à saint Guillaume. Illustres par la noblesse de leur sang, son père et sa mère étaient encore plus respectables par la sainteté de leur vie. Guillaume perdit ses parents dès son enfance et vécut sous la conduite d’un de ses parents qui prit grand soin de son éducation. A quinze ans, le pieux adolescent résolut de mener une vie pénitente et entreprit le pèlerinage de St-Jacques de Compostelle, en Galice, comme on nommait alors l’Espagne. Il voyageait les pieds nus, revêtu d’un simple habit de pèlerin. Durant ce long voyage, Guillaume souffrit la faim, la soif, avec toutes sortes d’incommodités. Son amour de la mortification lui inspira cependant de faire confectionner deux cercles de fer qu’il appliqua sur sa …
Still building bunkers? Or enlarging them? Don't count on them being for any of us useless eaters. Including in the good ole USA. Even trump wants a bunker. Unless he already has one for himself. They are very angry they can't kill or replace Putin. I read and heard that they are still planning on replacing Putin. The Blessed Mother is protecting him well. As far as the one sided news goes. That's how propaganda goes. Destroy and block the truth, so the people get only what they want them to know. Which is their propaganda. Ukraine is done for if they keep up their craziness in Russia. Russia has held back long enough. Ukraine is going into the places already liberated and bombing the people and rebuilt buildings by Russia. They have been bombing Russia a lot recently. Killing many children and civilians. They are building up a war against Russia. They will make sure Putin is dead and replaced. So they think. Believing once he is gone they can go in and take what they want. As trump …badan
Vincent asked first whether, in a time of schism, it was necessary to accept a single true pope or whether one could accept both or neither. Having established in his response to the first question that one must accept either Urban or Clement as pope, Vincent then posed the second question, namely, which of the two men elected by the College of Cardinals was the true pope. Having established that Clement's election alone was valid, Vincent then asked whether this truth had to be preached and revealed to the Christian people. To each of these three major questions, the friar assigned five additional questions. Vincent answered all 15 questions within a scholastic framework: he posed his answer; cited his rational arguments (rationes) and his authorities (chiefly Aquinas, named on several occasions, and the Bible, with some references to Augustine and Aristotle); raised objections to his own arguments; and then rebutted the objections.

Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick: CAIN & NOAH. 5. CAIN. THE CHILDREN OF GOD. THE GIANTS I saw that Cain conceived on Mount Olivet the design to murder Abel. After the deed, he wandered about the same spot frightened and distracted planting trees and tearing them up again. Then I saw a majestic Figure in the form of a man refulgent with light appear to him. "Cain," He said, "where is thy brother Abel?" Cain did not at first see the Figure; but when he did, he turned and answered: "I know not. He has not been given in charge to me." But when God replied that Abel's blood cried to Him from the earth, Cain grew more troubled, and I saw that he disputed long with God. God told him that he should be cursed upon the earth, that it should bring forth no fruit for him, and that he should forthwith flee from the land in which he then dwelt. Cain responded that everywhere his fellow men would seek to kill him. There were already many people upon the earth. Cain was very old and had children. Abel …badan
