Leo XIV appoints religious sister – lobbying for female ordinations – to senior leadership position in the Roman Curia.
On October 8, Pope Leo XIV appointed Sister Mary Teresa Barron as Adjunct Secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization and President of the Pontifical Mission Societies. The Pontifical Mission Societies is a global network supporting missionary activity, particularly in Africa, Asia, Oceania and parts of Latin America.
Born in Ireland, Sr. Mary became a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles. The missionary congregation was founded in Lyon, France, in 1876 for evangelization, particularly in Africa.
“Some women sense a call to priesthood”
At a Vatican press conference during the Synod on Synodality in 2024, Sister Barron argued for the ordination of women:
“Is the Spirit calling women? Because some women do sense a call to priesthood or diaconate.”
Sister Barron believes that “we have to look at broader than just can or can we not …Doliwat

If you are heretical in one aspect, then you cannot be trusted with spreading the Gospel.

While he typically adopts a conventional suit for daily attire, he assumes full liturgical vestments and pontifical insignia only when acting with a troubling lack of maturity—thereby casting unnecessary reproach upon the Church.

Thank you for this interesting display of hats. Sadly, the only hats men seem to wear today are baseball caps worn backwards.

Leo XIV sounds decentralizing: “new paths” for local Churches.
At yesterday’s meeting on Amoris Laetitia, Pope Leo XIV spoke of “the (alleged) fruits that Amoris Laetitia has borne in our local Churches.”
And then: “It will also help the local Churches to recognize new paths and to involve all the baptized more deeply in the Church’s synodal journey.”

Pope Leo XIV calls on the Church to gather the “fruits” of 10 years of Amoris Laetitia — saying they should nourish the whole Church and help local Churches “recognize new paths.”

“It felt like a nightmare.”
Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet has spoken about the four-year ordeal of being accused of sexual assault, after a Quebec court ruled in his favor in a defamation case and found the allegations against him unfounded.
Speaking to Rome Reports on October 7, Ouellet said: “It felt like a nightmare, a very difficult and costly experience, because I had to hire lawyers to defend myself, and this had an impact on my reputation, my moral authority, my health, and many other things.”
“I think that today, with all the cases that have been publicized, there's actually a presumption of guilt, and so I felt like I was under this cloud of suspicion and doubt.”
“I'm afraid the damage can't really be undone.”

I still remember the summer my grandmother left my brother and me at the country house with Grandpa because she had to go away for a day.
We were eight years old.
That night, we were supposed to be sleeping, but instead we were whispering, laughing, and fooling around in bed. Grandpa finally said, “Go to sleep. I’m getting you up early tomorrow. Breakfast is at nine.”
We didn’t care.
We stayed awake past midnight.
At 8:30 the next morning, Grandpa came in.
“Up. Breakfast is at nine.”
“Okay, Grandpa…”
And we rolled over and went right back to sleep.
We finally woke up around eleven.
The little storage room where all the food was kept was locked. Grandpa had the key in his pocket.
That was new for us.
Grandma would have reheated breakfast five times if necessary.
“Grandpa, what about breakfast?”
He looked at us calmly.
“Breakfast was at nine.”
We wandered around for a while, annoyed and hungry, then decided we didn’t care.
“Grandpa, we’re going down to the river.”
“Go ahead,” he said. “…Doliwat

Leo XIV outlines the purpose of this Synodal meeting discussing Amoris laetitia: “The Church has spent these 10 years receiving Amoris Letitia and walking with families in very different circumstances. We too bring stories of what God has done among us. Their stories gathered along the path of mission, stories of conversion, of unexpected fruit, and of the relationships God has woven within families, is our communities have sought to accompany them. Together with the difficulties we have faced, the questions that have emerged, and what we have learned along the way, they give us confidence as we begin our work together. Let us place them before the Lord, share them with one another. Seeking to recognise what God has been doing among us, and where His spirit is leading the Church today.”

BREAKING! According to hearsay, the Mostar bishops Žanič and Perič were allegedly "victims of slander"—a claim reported by some websites based solely on assertions made to serve a specific agenda. This stirred-up "Medjugorje controversy," propagated by numerous opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions, reeks of malicious intent—or even a coordinated campaign. Yet, the opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions have "forgotten"—or simply refuse to see—and are sweeping under the rug the objective, accessible facts regarding the very matters they claim to "refute" through mere hearsay. Let us take a closer look... Anton Selecký

Pope Francis appointed Sister Helen Alford as President of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences on 1 April 2023.

At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.

I think the passage cited states are Lord was 'thirsty', not 'flirty'. More banal and absurd scriptural 'insights' from Vatican approved dullards.

“Recognizing the work of grace in situations of failure.”
Pope Leo XIV opened a Vatican meeting on marriage and family in the Paul VI Audience Hall on October 7, marking the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. Presidents of bishops’ conferences, bishops and experts participate.
“In many contexts, a growing distance has emerged between the way sex and intimacy are experienced and the Christian vision of marriage,” Leo XIV admitted.
Speaking about "fragility" and "wounded" situations, he asked whether the Church can “recognize the work of grace even in situations marked by limitations, wounds, and apparent failure.”

An SSPX-SBC Joint Statement is needed.Sedevacantists make an objective mistake on the baptism of desire
There is an objective mistake of the sedevacantists (CMRI, MHT etc) on ever the Catechism of Pope Pius IX (29 Q, Feeneyite or Cushingite?).
Pope Leo has still not informed the Church that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to theoretical, implicit and unknown cases in 2026. Theoretical cases cannot be practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442. So EENS ( Feeneyite), the Athanasius Creed, Feeneyite, the Nicene Creed, Feeneyite, the Catechisms, Feeneyite and not Cushingite and the Creeds Feeneyite and not Cushingite, are apostolic, magisterial, rational and traditional.

1. The St.Benedict Center ,NH (SBC) and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) can agree that the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance refer to hypothetical and invisible cases in 2026.
2. So implicit and un known cases …Doliwat
