The greatest pope of the last century was John Paul II, “a true world leader”, said Cardinal Camillo Ruini in an interview with Corriere.it on his 95 birthday that is today. He considers Benedict XVI above all a theologian: “Governance was his weak point.” Ratzinger Was Wrong to Leave His resignation “surprised and saddened” him, Ruini said. “To tell the truth, I think it was a wrong decision — at least it seems so to me. But he knew his condition better than I did.” Francis Ignored Tradition Cardinal Ruini has "difficulty" with Francis: “The change was too great and sudden. More than disappointed, I was surprised.” He said Francis was “paying too little attention to tradition”: “It’s no coincidence he may have been more loved by non-believers than by believers.” Ruini Fell in Love Three Times, But Resisted Camillo Ruini became a priest after his spiritual director encouraged him: “Dedicating myself to God seemed something exciting.” His parents were “strongly opposed”.

Agree with a lot here but "Asked whether he would return to the Latin Mass, he firmly declined: “Certainly not. It is important that people understand the language.” This had not been important for centuries so he is not correct. The TLM should be available. Since it was it therefore transcends time. Ad Orientem also is a form of body language to God and can be understood by all.
Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood has addressed the calls to boycott the band’s tour last year, saying that he believes that music and art should exist above politics. Pro-Palestinian activists, including those in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) highlighted a show Radiohead played in Israel in 2017 and argued that the band’s “complicit silence” during what an independent United Nations inquiry found to be a genocide in Gaza, which Israel has denied, should lead to a boycott. When asked about the controversy by The Times in a new interview, guitarist Greenwood described it as “very hard to talk about,” explaining: “I think music and art should be above and beyond political concerns. You know I made an album [2023’s ‘Jarak Qaribak’] involving Israeli, Iraqi, Egyptian and Syrian musicians? “If I’m supposed to stop working with musicians because I dislike their governments then I …
M.A. Rothman NYC residents can’t believe Mamdani is doing none of the free programs he promised and is instead raising taxes. “He promised free buses, free food, and that rent was going to go down.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Robert Moynihan on February 16 about the 30 minutes private audience with Pope Leo XIV on December 18. He described the tone as open and cordial: “The Pope was very kind, attentively listening to me, very, very fraternal and simple.” Two drafts for Leo XIV Bishop Schneider handed Pope Leo XIV two drafts during the audience. 1) A solemn Profession of Faith He proposed a solemn Profession of Faith, modeled on Paul VI’s 1968 Credo of the People of God. Schneider emphasized that such a text would need concrete implementation, not merely publication. 2) A universal legal settlement for the Roman Rite Monsignor Schneider urged Leo XIV to grant equal standing to the Roman Rite and to the Novus Ordo: “I came to ask you for the liturgical peace in the Church… to grant the same rights, the same dignity to the traditional form of the Roman Rite and the Novus Ordo, and to let them peacefully coexist.” Monsignor Schneider advised against another motu proprio “ping …Caman

“There are no Jews in Morocco. There are only Moroccan subjects,” Mohammed reportedly said. Unsurprisingly, Vichy officials didn’t like that kind of talk, and the sultan butted heads with them repeatedly.
L S DOBBS, Sworn In For The State, 4th To Testify L. S. DOBBS, Sworn for the State. I am Sergeant of police. On the morning of April 27th, about 3:25 a call came from the pencil factory that there was a murder up there. We went down in Boots Rogers' automobile. When we got there the door was locked. We knocked on the door and in about two minutes the negro came down the steps and opened the door and said there was a woman murdered in the basement. We went through a scuttle hole, a small trapdoor. The negro lead the way back in the basement, to a partition on the left, leading from the elevator. The basement is about twenty feet wide. The negro lead back about one hundred feet and we found the body. "The girl was laying on her face not directly laying on her stomach with the left side on the ground, the right side up just a little. We couldn't tell by looking at her whether she was white or black, only by her golden colored hair. They turned her over and her face was full of dirt and dust …Caman
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X has declined a proposal from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to postpone its announced episcopal consecrations scheduled for July 1. The February 19 statement is co-signed by the five members of the Society’s General Council, including Bishops Alfonso de Galarreta and Bernard Fellay. The statement follows a February 12 meeting in Rome between Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the FSSPX, and Cardinal Tucho Fernández, a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Congregation. Tucho proposed a “specifically theological path of dialogue”. The goal was to identify the “minimum requirements necessary for full communion with the Catholic Church.” The proposal conditioned on the suspension of the episcopal consecrations. Rome Showed Little Interest In Recent Years On February 18, Father Pagliarani sent a written reply to Cardinal Fernández. The letter and its several annexes is published in full on Fsspx.news. Father Pagliarani thanked …Caman
I think the letter is very good but has one ambiguity. Fr. Pagliarani speaks of "Tradition". At least in English, it would be valid to say, "Today we are starting a new tradition." By contrast, the Society and the Pre-Vatican II church was defending "Apostolic Tradition." Just that small change in wording makes a big difference. Pope Francis spoke of his "magisterium," so "magisterium" is just as ambiguous as "tradition". "Apostolic Tradition", by contrast is definitive. Those things passed down by the Apostles, refined by councils and popes, but never changed. Any point of controversy can be tested to see if it is Apostolic or "new". The SSPX and Rome may not agree, but at least it will be clear which has departed from the Apostolic Tradition.
Bishop José Antonio Satué of Málaga, Spain, has expressed support for the blessing of homosex couples. He told MalagaHoy.es on February 15: “The blessing of people who have a same-sex relationship project is, from my point of view, a step forward. In other words, marriage for us will always be, I believe, between a man and a woman. But certainly, we will have to find better ways to integrate into our pastoral practice this reality, which is undeniable.” Monsignor Satué was appointed as Bishop of Teruel y Albarracín in July 2021. He was a well-known pro-homosexual prelate. Leo XIV promoted him Bishop of Málaga in June 2025. Bishop Satué also uses the strange cross bearing the supposed symbol of the Good Shepherd with crossed arms. It was also used by Francis and can be traced back to the pro-homosexual Cardinal Louis Bernardin (1928–1996) of Chicago. #newsYuaxanjbqr
