Bishop Athanasius Schneider has criticised Pope Leo XIV’s August 26 presentation of the post-conciliar liturgical reform. He argued that the Novus Ordo does not correspond to what the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council intended. Speaking to AdVaticanum.com on September 2, Schneider also argued that non-definitive teachings of Vatican II can be amended or corrected. Conciliar Formulations Can Be Corrected Bishop Schneider referred to the Council of Florence (1431 to 1449), citing two doctrinal statements that were later discussed and corrected by the Church. One concerned Holy Orders. Florence identified the handing over of the sacred instruments as the matter of priestly ordination rather than the laying on of hands, despite the latter having been practiced during the first millennium. Schneider noted that Pope Pius XII later definitively taught that the matter of ordination is the laying on of hands, thereby formally correcting Florence. Schneider also pointed to Florence’s teaching …More

Bishop Felix Gmür of Basel, Switzerland, has appointed theologian Sarah Gigandet to a senior leadership position in the diocese. From 1 November, she will share the responsibilities of the vicariate general with incoming Vicar General Ruedi Heim. The Diocese of Basel announced this unusual arrangement under the headline 'Vicariate General becomes more synodal'. Gigandet, aged 40, will formally hold the title of Episcopal Delegate in the Vicariate General, while Heim will be the canonical Vicar General. According to the diocese, however, the two will divide the areas of responsibility between them and jointly assume leadership responsibilities. According to canon law, the office of vicar general, which involves exercising ordinary executive authority as the bishop’s deputy, is reserved for priests. Therefore, Gigandet cannot formally be appointed vicar general. Bishop Gmür is known for his pro-homosexual activism. He also supports the ordination of women as deacons and priests. #newsUvpbpswmke

Consider the warnings of SVR Colonel Sergei Tretyakov, who said, “I want to warn Americans. As a people, you are very naïve about Russia and its intentions.” According to Tretyakov, the Russian SVR is working “to destroy the U.S. … even more than the KGB did during the Cold War.”[ii] I have quoted Tretyakov before. It is a statement that bears repeating. As this former spy explained, Russia’s rulers did not change their views after the fall of the Soviet Union. If anything, their hatred for the United States has intensified
Hong Kong’s Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of Cardinal Joseph Zen, 94, and four other former trustees of a humanitarian fund. Cardinal Zen attended court using a walking stick. He was convicted in 2022 alongside barrister and former legislator Margaret Ng, former lawmaker Cyd Ho, singer Denise Ho and academic Hui Po-keung for failing to register the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund under Hong Kong’s Societies Ordinance. Each was fined HK$4,000 (about €440). The convictions were the first of their kind under the ordinance. The fund was established in June 2019 to provide legal, medical and other financial assistance to people arrested or injured during the protests. It ceased operations in October 2021. Today, three judges rejected the defendants’ argument that the fund was money administered through a trust and therefore did not constitute a “society.” They found that those governing the fund had mutual rights and obligations and that it was more than money held on trust. It …More

The grand strategy of Russia and China, partly formulated during secret Sino-Russian meetings[i] in 1991-2, aims at the destruction of the United States. Most observers and analysts find this assertion outrageous. But the testimony of defectors is clear; and the word “destruction,” in this context, is not an exaggeration.

A canon lawyer, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Eger in 2010 and ordained a bishop in 2011. 2015: Pro-Migration against Hungarian Cardinal During the migration crisis in 2015, Palánki was asked whether he sides with Cardinal Erdő and Bishop Kiss-Rigó (both took anti-migrant lines) or with the Pope's call to take migrants in. He chose Francis: "We say what the pope says: let's take in the refugees, regardless of their religion.” He invoked the Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations... Now we don't have to go, because many people are coming here.” As Priest, Played Guitar at Eucharists In a 2020 interview, Palánki argued that contemporary music can belong inside the liturgy, not merely at youth meetings. He said: “I regard music in the liturgy as form. The emphasis is never on the …More
