Askofu James Conleywa Lincoln, Nebraska, aliongoza msafara wa Kiekaristi mnamo tarehe 27 mwezi Machi kutoka makao makuu ya shirika la Pro Life mjini humo kuelekea kwenye kliniki moja ya "Planned Parenthood".
Altari iliandaliwa kwenye bustani ya umma mbele ya mahali hapo pa maafa.
Askofu Conley ni mmoja wa nguzo za Kanisa Katoliki nchini Marekani.
Mtu anaweza kutarajia kwamba kila Askofu Mkatoliki afanye alichokifanya, lakini ni ishara ya utata mkuu uliopo Kanisani unaopeleka hali hii kutokuwepo.

Bishops Attack FSSPX - "Invalid Sacraments", "Abuse of Eucharist"

Many bishops in the USA (and elsewhere) forbid Catholics from attending Mass in chapels belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, yet they welcome schismatics and homosexuals. Three examples:
Arlington Bishop: FSSPX Sacraments Are "Invalid"
Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, instructed Catholics to “avoid participating in the activities of the FSSPX.”
In a letter dated 8 July, he wrote that "any celebrations of the sacraments of confession and matrimony by the FSSPX are invalid, and the administration of other sacraments is illicit".
In September 2025, Bishop Burbidge said that his meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew was “incredible,” and marked a “historic moment of Christian unity”.
Covington Bishop: FSSPX Mass Is "Abuse of Eucharist"
Bishop John Iffert of Covington, Kentucky, said in a recent statement that the sacraments from the FSSPX are “illicit”:
“The Masses these priests celebrate are an abuse of the Eucharist, insofar as they make the …Zaidi

The Roman Rite Returns to Another Monastery: Today, twelve Benedictine monks from Le Barroux officially established a new monastic community at Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine Abbey in western France. Founded in the early 12th century, the abbey was home to Trappist monks from 1816 until their departure in 2025. Fr. Raphaël, the new prior, paid tribute to the departing community: "The monastery is in very good condition. The brothers cared for it until the very end, always hoping they could remain." And: "Our liturgy will be celebrated in Latin and Gregorian chant. There will be those who like it and those who do not. Each person must discern for himself."

Douze moines de l’abbaye du Barroux, dans le Vaucluse, s’installeront aujourd’hui à l’abbaye Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine, en Maine-et-Loire, relançant ainsi une vie bénédictine interrompue depuis 1642, après le départ des moines trappistes en 2025.

Kadinali Wa Francis Amlinda Askofu Msaidizi Anayekumbwa Na Utata

Askofu msaidizi Juan Pineda wa Tegucigalpa, Honduras, juishi maisha ya kifahari ambayo huhusisha umiliki wa magari kadhaa ya kifahari na safari za mara kwa mara za ndege za kifahari, Edward Pentin aliripoti (Aprili 27).
Hata hivyo, Pineda hubaki katika wadhfa wake kwa ulinzi wake Kadinali wa Tegucigalpa Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, rafiki wa karibu wa Pineda ambaye pia ni mratibu wa Baraza la Makadinali na mwanapropaganda wa itikadi za "ufukara" za Francis.
Kulingana na Pentin, Pineda alihusika katika kutoweka kwa Dola milioni 1.3 ambazo zilitolewa na serikali ya Hondura kwa miradi ya msaada ya Kanisa. Fedha hizo ziliwekwa ila hazikupitia utaratibu wa kawaida wa kifedha wa dayosisi hiyo na hatimaye "zikatoweka".
Pineda alijaribu kueleza zilivotumika pesa hizo, lakini ripoti yake haikutoa hati za invoisi, vocha wala hati zozote.
Mwezi uliopita, Pentin alifichua kwamba Pineda amekashifiwa na wanaseminari wa zamani kwa shutma za dhulma za kishoga.

Cardinal López "Prepared to Lose His Rank" - Priest Cousin

Rev. Alfons Gea, a Catalan priest and cousin of Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, has appeared to confirm the sexual nature of allegations against the 74-year-old Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco.
Cardinal López, a Spanish-born Salesian, is a prominent supporter of Pope Francis’s agenda, was appointed Archbishop of Rabat in 2017 and a cardinal in 2019.
On Monday, he announced that he would temporarily withdraw from public celebrations and pastoral ministry while the Vatican conducts a preliminary investigation into allegations involving at least five adult women. He has admitted to “inappropriate behaviour” but denies committing sexual assault, violence, or harassment.
ElPaís.com has described the allegations as sexual abuse, rather than merely inappropriate hugs or gestures.
Writing for Exaudi.org, Rev. Gea said his cousin had already begun privately accepting the possible consequences: “The image of a papabile, a figure who enjoyed such widespread affection, has come crashing down." And: …Zaidi

Pope Leo XIV continues Francis’ path towards homosexuals, Fr. Bryan Massingale SJ, a self-described homosexual and theology professor at Jesuit-run Fordham University in New York City, told Ny1.com on June 25: “There was a fear after Francis died that a future pope would come in and would undo the welcoming overtures and advances that had taken place under Francis' papacy.” However: “One of the first things Pope Leo did was he said, ‘No, I have no intention of going backwards when it comes to the LGBTQ community,” the Jesuit added.

Fr. Bryan Massingale SJ, openly homosexual and theology professor at Fordham University, said he is encouraged that Pope Leo XIV appears committed to continuing the more welcoming approach toward LGBTQ people that he associates with Pope Francis.

Another US Diocesan Roman Mass Supressed

Bishop Joseph Williams of Camden, New Jersey, has suppressed the Mass in the Roman rite at St. Gianna Beretta Molla Parish in Northfield.
The final Roman Mass was celebrated on June 28.
The excuse used to end the Mass was the retirement of Father Anthony J. Manuppella.
The priest who has taken over as an administrator knows how to say the Roman rite, but lacks permission to celebrate. Instead, he offers a Sunday noon Novus Ordo in Latin, celebrated ad orientem.
According to parishioners and blog posts, Bishop Williams did not renew the permission required for the Mass to continue.
Below is an English user comment from a parishioner published on Wdtprs.com: "The Bishop has rejected all pleas for mercy and charity from our retiring pastor, our dedicated altar servers, and congregation to allow our Traditional Latin Mass to continue".

Ornate Catholic church was on the brink of closing... until priest came up with extraordinary old-fashioned idea that made attendance boom

An ornate Catholic church was on the brink of closure but now sees hundreds of faithful flock to its pews for Mass each week thanks to a priest's extraordinary idea. St Francis de Sales Oratory was founded in 1867 by a group of German immigrants who settled in St Louis, Missouri. The gorgeous church became a landmark in the midwestern city and for decades served parishioners of more than a dozen nationalities. But as families started moving out to the suburbs, the church, dubbed the Cathedral of south St Louis, saw a massive drop in parishioners, the church website states. St Francis de Sales was closed by the Archdiocese of St Louis in June 2005, and the church was forced to merge with another local parish. The church was scheduled to be torn down and sold, but was saved that July when Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke made the church an Oratory where Mass is strictly administered in Latin. St Francis de Sales is now one of about 450 churches across the country that regularly celebrate the …

Turin Church Houses Lutheran Worship Since 2020

In the historic centre of Turin, Italy, stands the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi. In the sixteenth century, the church temporarily safeguarded the Shroud of Turin, after its transfer from Chambéry.
Is is an active church in the Archdiocese of Turin, with regular Masses and the Blessed Sacrament reserved.
Since spring 2020, however, the church has also served as the regular place of worship for the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Turin.
The Lutheran congregation is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Italy (CELI) and has administrative offices elsewhere in the city, but no church of its own.
This arrangement is permanent.
During the installation of Pastor Tobias Brendel in September 2022, which took place in the Catholic church, a Catholic deacon symbolically presented the new pastor with a set of keys.
The Lutheran community said that this recognised the relationship of trust that had developed since the shared use of the church began in 2020.
This appears to have been …Zaidi

Gay Canadian Couple Sues Surrogate Mother For Refusing To Abort Baby, Causing 'Emotional Distress' - Protestia

A Canadian homosexual couple is taking a surrogate mother to court for refusing to abort their baby after it was discovered the fetus would have a cleft lip and possibly a heart condition. According to the National Post: The Ontario-based surrogate insisted that more tests be conducted and eventually the same-sex couple agreed to let the pregnancy continue, as specialists indicated he was a healthy child with a relatively minor birth defect. But in a suit filed in Ontario Superior Court this May, the parents allege the woman failed to keep them informed about the health of the baby, put the child at risk, caused them emotional distress, and violated their confidentiality, all charges the surrogate denies vehemently. Initially, the surrogate had a good rapport with the couple, carrying a baby from in vitro fertilization using donor eggs and each of their sperm. After the health prognosis, however, which included a cleft lip, she was told by way of a letter to abort the baby at 22 weeks. …
