Light Inside Monstrance for Artistic Effect A Madrid sacristan told Betania TV on July 15 that a priest used a light behind - or allegedly in place of - the consecrated Host during Eucharistic Adoration to create a more artistic visual effect. The sacristan said he was instructed to tape the light directly to the holder of the Host because placing it outside the glass did not produce the desired effect. He also urged priests not to "use Christ" for emotional effect.

Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, Scotland, issued a pastoral letter on Saturday ahead of the planned episcopal consecration of Fr. Michael Mary, F.SS.R., superior general and founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists. The "consecration" is scheduled to take place on July 25 on Papa Stronsay in Orkney. It is performed by three Sedevacantist "bishops" from the Americas. Bishop Gilbert said the consecration would constitute an act of schism. He compared it with the July 1 consecration of four bishops by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. The bishop noted that the planned consecration directly concerns the Diocese of Aberdeen because Papa Stronsay lies within its geographical boundaries. At the same time, Bishop Gilbert expanded the provision of the Mass in the Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady of the Garioch and St. John the Evangelist in Fetternear. The Mass, previously offered once a month, will now be celebrated every Sunday. After the Transalpine Redemptorists became Sedevacantist …okunengi

Religious Sisters Calls Listening to Fetal Heartbeat "Torture": Chilean Dominican sister Licarayén Torres has called a proposed law requiring women to listen to a fetal heartbeat before an abortion “torture.” Speaking in a social media video on July 15, she criticized the Chilean “Listen to His Heart” bill, saying: “Is it Christian, is it evangelical to make women go through this obligation that some lawmakers want to impose?”
Una religiosa chilena calificó de «tortura» el proyecto de ley que obligaría a las mujeres a escuchar el latido fetal antes de abortar, reabriendo el debate sobre el aborto en Chile. La iniciativa, impulsada por partidos de derecha, exige informar sobre la actividad cardíaca embrionaria y permitir escucharla antes del procedimiento, medida que ha generado fuerte controversia política y social.

On 19 July, from Menzingen, Switzerland, Fr Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), issued another pastoral letter published on LaPorteLatine.org justifying the illicit consecration of bishops against the will of Pope Leo XIV. Key phrases (full letter below). - "Until the very last day, I hoped for a gesture of goodwill—or at least of simple understanding—from the Holy See." - "This condemnation, wholly unjust, represents an immense humiliation for people whose only desire is to defend the true Faith and to labor for the salvation of souls." - " I want you to understand that this profound humiliation, which first affects the members of the Society, has a meaning in the eyes of God that must not escape you." - "The sanctions are also intended to strike you in a rather cruel way." - "If, in order to ensure for it the teaching of the true Faith and the administration of the true sacraments, it is necessary to pay the price of such humiliation …okunengi
I disagree vehemently with the Superior General. The false, invalid condemnation is NOT a humiliation. No, not at all. For the FSSX Faithful it should be a badge of high and holy honor.
Another "who am I to judge?" moment? He has facilitated a 'Trojan Horse' to vanquish the priesthood, amongst other 'causes' he holds dear (and all of which he swore to safeguard against as a priest, and now, pontiff). No wonder he is so eager to excommunicate those who would hold a mirror up to his wiles.
Leo XIV Sent Secretary to Inspect St. Peter's Dome Construction: SilereNonPossum.com reports that major structural work on the terraces and roof surrounding St Peter's Dome is nearly complete, alongside photographs of the work. As part of a paid visitor route, the project will create a new external walkway around the dome, while former storage rooms are being converted into exhibition spaces, further commercialising St Peter's Basilica. The project's costs are undisclosed. The contractor is Lunghi Srl of Assisi, which is noteworthy because Cardinal Mauro Gambetti also hails from Assisi. There is currently no evidence of favouritism or wrongdoing beyond this geographical connection. A further information: Pope Leo XIV sent one of his secretaries to personally inspect the construction work.
Leo XIV is about to ACQUIT Father Rupnik: MessaInLatino.it reports that the Vatican's canonical trial of Fr. Marko Ivan Rupnik - who was accused by around three dozen (!) female victims of sexual and psychological abuse - has concluded with a favourable outcome for him. If confirmed, this would be further evidence of the deeply flawed Vatican justice system and against the role of Cardinal Tucho Fernández, who managed the trial and its personnel. The case has also long fuelled online speculation that Rupnik possessed compromising information about senior Vatican figures.
"Apprendiamo da voci insistenti e molto autorevoli che il processo penale, in corso in Vaticano, a carico di don Marko Ivan Rupnik si sarebbe concluso con un esito a lui favorevole."
Cardinal Joseph Coutts, the Archbishop of Karachi, interprets Vatican Council IIschismaticallyas do the Pakistani bishops who made an Ad Limina visit to Rome in May this year. The Council is interpreted irrationally (LG 16 physically visible) by the Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits and and the diocesan priests and religious sisters. . At the Christ the King Major seminary, Karachi, they are in first class heresy on the Creeds (Ad Tuendem Fidem, Pope John Paul II). They use the LG 16 visible premise which I avoid. At the National Catholic Institute of Theology, Karachi, students are not taught that the Conciliar Church today, teaches, according to an apostolic and magisterial Vatican Council II (only), that outside the Catholic Church there is no known salvation; no salvation. Instead the norm is Vatican Council II interpreted with the false LG 16 visible premise of Karl Rahner sj. Students have to interpret Vatican Council II with theIrrationaland notRationalApproach.
