Leo XIV About to Appoint Another Female Prefect: According to today's report on MessaInLatino.it, Sister Alessandra Smerilli, the current Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, is set to become the Prefect of the same Dicastery. The decree has reportedly already been signed, but there has been considerable upheaval in the Vatican. Cardinal Fabio Baggio, the current Undersecretary, is expected to be appointed Pro-Prefect or Secretary. Sister Smerilli was one of Francis's most trusted lay religious advisers and a promoter of synodality, women's leadership in church governance and integral ecology. She is also a frequent participant in UN, G20 and interfaith initiatives.

29.06.2026 THE LIONEL ANDRADES INTERPRETATION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II IS DOGMATIC, MAGISTERIAL, APOSTOLIC, RATIONAL AND ETHICAL: POPE LEO MUST ADAPT The SSPX Profession of Faith can be read with the Lionel Andrades (L.A) interpretation. VC2 is traditional and ecclesiocnetric. The blue orthodox passages dominate. The red ones are not exceptions for the blue passages. The text of Vatican Council II read rationally supports the traditionalists but when read irrationally supports Pope Leo and the liberals. High Noon after July 1, 2026. Canon and secular petitions will target irrational and dishonest interpretations of Vatican Council II by cardinals and bishops. Reason and tradition support the conservative Catholics. When Vatican Council II is traditional and aligned with the conservatives how can the SSPX be excommunicated in the name of the Council? When Vatican Council II is traditional with ‘the blue passages’ not contradicted by ‘the red passages’ how can Pope Leo remain liberal and …Doliwat
Vatican Appeal Court Upholds Conviction of Becciu Accuser: The Vatican Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of Nicola Giampaolo for slandering Cardinal Angelo Becciu over his role at the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. The ruling confirms the Vatican Tribunal's October 2025 judgment, leaving Giampaolo's three-and-a-half-year prison sentence and damages in place. The case stemmed from Giampaolo's claims on the Italian TV program Report that money had been requested to advance the beatification cause of former Italian Prime Minister and personal friend of Pope Paul VI, Aldo Moro. The Vatican has now definitively ruled those allegations were criminal slander.
Condanna definitiva per calunnia del testimone di Report, Nicola Giampaolo. Altro crollo nel castello accusatorio contro il Cardinal Becciu
[http://korazym.org/Blog dell’Editore, 26.06.2026 – Vik van Brantegem] – La conferma della condanna per calunnia di Nicola Giampaolo chiude definitivamente uno dei filoni più controversi della campagna mediatica contro il Cardinale Angelo Becciu. Dopo la sentenza di primo grado e il comunicato del Dicastero delle Cause dei Santi, arriva ora anche il giudizio definitivo della Corte d’appello dello Stato della Città del Vaticano, mentre resta aperta la riflessione sul ruolo svolto da parte dell’informazione nella costruzione del “caso Becciu”.

[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; born/died: Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] St. Joseph never saw his holy spouse asleep. He did not know, from his own experience, whether she slept at all. Her place of rest was the little bed made by the saint. It had . two coverings, between which she was accustomed to place herself to take a brief and light repose. The under garment of the august Mary was a tunic or chemise, but little softer than woolen stuff. She never left it off, except when it was worn, nor soiled it, and no one in the world saw it, not even St. Joseph. In all her works, and in whatever she did for St. Joseph, the greatest cleanliness was observed. Before St. Joseph was informed of the mystery of the Incarnation, our blessed Lady, at certain times when he was not occupied, used to read to him from the Holy Scriptures, particularly from David and the Prophets. She explained them like an experienced instructress, and her holy spouse questioned her on many …Doliwat
"The faithful and happy St. Joseph was all enkindled by divine love in these gracious conversations, and, shedding tears of joy, he cried out: “Is it indeed possible that I shall see my God and Redeemer within you chaste arms ?— that I shall adore Him there ?—that I shall hear His sweet voice ?—that I shall touch Him ?— that my eyes shall see His divine face ?—that the sweat of my brow shall be employed in His service, and for His support ?—that we shall speak and converse with Him? Whence comes to me such bliss as none could ever have deserved? Why have I not rich treasures, that I might lay them at His feet ?”"
Armenian leaders from Nagorno-Karabakh have criticized the Vatican for remaining silent about the destruction of Armenian Christian heritage and the forced displacement of Armenians after Azerbaijan's takeover of the region in 2023. Beglaryan Artak, former human rights ombudsman of Artsakh, told the Substack.com-Account The Pillar (June 26) that the Vatican has failed to defend Armenian churches and monuments. He argued that Azerbaijan has successfully influenced the Holy See to avoid speaking out. He added many Armenians feel abandoned by the Church - although the Armenians split from the Church after the Council of Chalcedon (451). The criticism targets the Vatican's close relationship with Azerbaijan. Armenians point to major restoration projects in the Vatican funded by the government-linked Heydar Aliyev Foundation and to the 2020 papal honor awarded to Azerbaijan's First Lady, Mehriban Aliyeva. #newsNkkklkilwf
Run of Saint Andrew: Amalfi's Centuries-Old Tradition. The spectacular 'Run of Saint Andrew' in Amalfi, Italy, is part of a centuries-old celebration honoring Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint. According to local tradition, on 27 June 1544, as the fleet of the Ottoman corsair Khayr al-Din Barbarossa threatened Amalfi, the townspeople prayed for Saint Andrew's intercession. A violent storm scattered the enemy ships, and the city was spared. Each year on 27 June, bearers carry the silver reliquary bust of Saint Andrew at a run up the 62 steps of Amalfi Cathedral, commemorating this traditional account of the city's deliverance.
La spettacolare "Corsa di Sant'Andrea": cinque secoli di fede e tradizione: Secondo la tradizione, il 27 giugno 1544, mentre la flotta del celebre corsaro ottomano Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa minacciava Amalfi, gli abitanti implorarono l'intercessione di Sant'Andrea.

The implementation phase of the synod “will mark a new stage in the reception of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Mario Grech warned the consistory on Saturday. He is a Cardinal and the Vatican's Secretary of the Synod. His lengthy speech, which was around 3,000 words long, was published on Zenit.org. Much of it was repetitive, focusing on buzzwords such as listening, discernment, communion, participation, the 'exchange of gifts', implementation, and 'conversation in the Spirit'. In terms of density of ideas, the speech was low. The essential message was • the Synod is not over. • implementation is the real work. • synodality should become part of the Church's ordinary life. • this is the next stage of Vatican II. Two key sentences were: "The discernment of the signs of the times, ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, and the commitment to justice and peace become measures of the Church's diakonia." "In this way, the implementation phase becomes a new stage in the reception …Doliwat
On 27 June, Bishop Czesław Kozon of Copenhagen, Denmark, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation according to the Roman Rite at the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) apostolate in Recklinghausen, Germany.
Firmung im alten Ritus mit Bischof Czeslaw Kozon, Bischof von Kopenhagen. FSSP Recklinghausen Katholisch am Niederrhein
Canon Lawyer, Professor Michael J. Mazza: “Over 80% of the nation’s priests regularly fear being falsely accused, largely because of the lack of due process they encounter the instant an allegation is made against them. Nearly the same percentage of surveyed priests suggested that their bishop would be one of the LAST people they would ever go to for help if they encountered a problem in their ministry. That is a particularly worrisome attitude given the close bond that is supposed to link bishops and priests in the service of the people of God.”
Angelus: Pope Leo Reads, Andrea Monda Gets the … Among the greetings drafted by the Prefecture of the Papal Household for the Pope was one addressed to the homeless people present in St Peter’s Square to distribute L’Osservatore di strada, a supplement to L’Osservatore Romano. Naturally, the request came from Andrea Monda himself. A man who does not usually go to the office even on the days when he is expected to be there was hardly likely to spend a Sunday in St Peter’s Square beneath the scorching Roman sun of recent days. But having secured confirmation from the Prefecture that the short passage had been inserted into the text prepared for the Pope, Monda could not miss the occasion. He had to be there, he had to be seen, he had to make his presence visible at the very moment Leo XIV spoke about the costly paper. And so there he was in St Peter’s Square, beside a banner that had cost hundreds of euros, waving his arms about in his embarrassing braces to greet the Pope, who, puzzled …Doliwat
Italian Secular Press Features Roman Mass: Today's front page of Il Giornale gives prominence to the Mass in the Roman rite. Nico Spuntoni reports on growing concern within the Consistory over the situation of the FSSPX, with the headline: "The Lefebvrist Rift That Alarms the Consistory." Alongside it, editor-in-chief Tommaso Cerno devotes his editorial to the place of Latin in the Church, arguing under the title "Why the Future Speaks Latin" that the long-held assumption that Latin belongs only to the past deserves to be reconsidered.
Il direttore de Il Giornale, Tommaso Cerno, ha dedicato grande risalto in prima pagina alla Messa tradizionale in latino e all'articolo del corrispondente vaticano Nico Spuntoni sulle crescenti preoccupazioni interne nei concistori riguardo alla situazione della Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X (SSPX).

It is in fact more useful to have less knowledge but a better way of life. Accordingly, reason is measured out to all persons in such a way that they can gain heaven, if they lead godly lives.
