Vatican Newspaper Denies Devil: Biblical scholar and feminist Marinella Perroni, 78, wrote for the July issue of L'Osservatore Romano's monthly supplement Donne Chiesa Mondo. She claims that "in the Genesis account there is no devil"; rather, "the serpent is simply the most cunning animal in the eyes of the desert nomads." She argues - that belief in evil spirits entered Jewish theology only at a relatively late stage through contact with other ancient religions, - that the devil as a distinct figure appears only in the late and strongly Hellenized Book of Wisdom, and - that St. Paul and the First Letter to Timothy linked "the serpent, the woman, and the fruit" to "the devil, women, and sin," thereby reinforcing a patriarchal understanding of sexual difference.
Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo, Norway, issued a July 3 statement following the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly consecrated bishops had removed themselves from ecclesial communion and unity with the Pope: “This is sad, painful, and calls us to prayer and penance.” He urged Catholics to pray the Rosary for the unity of the Church on the Feast of Saint Sunniva, July 8. Monsignor Hansen repeated Cardinal Tucho Fernández’s explanation that the consecrations were a schismatic act and that the priests “can no longer validly grant absolution in the sacrament of confession.” He also urged Catholics to refrain from attending FSSPX Masses and other activities. Addressing FSSPX faithful directly, he wrote: “I understand that these are difficult and distressing days for you. You may find yourselves pulled in different directions, and perhaps stand bewildered before all that has now come to pass.” He …Okuninzi
Priest from excommunicated sect says future pope will reverse Vatican move This whole excommunication things is appearing more and more to be one huge joke, I know no one taking this matter seriously. Where is Pope St Pius X when you need him?
Did the 12 Apostles have to put up with this Vatican bureaucracy tit a tat? No. Why? Because Christ our Savior was their be all and end all. I doubt there are 4 priests today who could believe and declare Jesus Christ as their be all and end. They are too fretted with their standing and how they appear to others instead of Christ. It is sickening.
Rev. Gerald Murray, a New York canon lawyer, called the excommunication of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X "a canonical mess" in an interview with Raymond Arroyo (video below). Two Canonical Mechanisms Rev. Murray distinguishes automatic (latae sententiae) penalties from imposed (ferendae sententiae) penalties requiring a judicial or administrative process. Cardinal Victor "Tucho" Fernández did not impose excommunication but declared that an automatic penalty had already been incurred, since consecrating bishops without papal mandate triggers excommunication under canon law. Decree Excommunicates Only Six Bishops Rev. Murray's central criticism: the decree names only six bishops, while the explanatory note refers to priests and laity. But a note cannot legally expand a decree's scope. The note calls priests "schismatics," yet the decree itself never declares them excommunicated. Since a penal decree must specify who committed which offense and when, and this was omitted, Rev. …Okuninzi
In other words, it's invalid. Church teaching says you can't be excommunicated by a heretic - LifeSite St. Thomas Aquinas: "The power of jurisdiction is not indelibly attached, nor is it connected with the power of orders. Consequently, it can be lost and suspended by heretical or schismatical persons, and therefore they neither absolve nor excommunicate, nor grant indulgences, nor do anything of the kind; and if they do, it is invalid."

Protocol numbers are how Vatican departments organize their filing; a letter or submission is assigned a protocol number so that all the relevant documents are kept together in the right file. “Prot. No. 99/2009” is not a new file from 2026, but a file from 2009, specifically from Pope Benedict XVI’s lifting of the excommunications incurred in 1988.
An act of disobedience (not schism) compelled by priestly and episcopal moral conscience and duty, and the spiritual needs of 700,000 faithful Catholics in their care, while begging for the assistance and collaboration of the Holy See -- which was refused to their sincere pleas -- does not constitute a failure to be subject to the Roman Pontiff, nor of schism. Even Father Gerald Murray, a well-known Canon Lawyer who opposed the Consecrations says as much. You will find his commentary elsewhere on Gloria.TV
[EN/DE] SHOCKING CLASH: Donald Trump CALLS POPE LEO XIV “AN INSULT TO JESUS” — THE POPE’S RESPONSE STUNS THE WORLD Donald Trump believed he could score easy political points by calling Pope Leo XIV “an insult to Jesus,” after the spiritual leader once again spoke out in defense of peace, compassion, and human dignity. However, he was challenging a voice rooted not in politics, but in moral authority. See more: wornpages.blog/…ng-response-vtien123456-team-apex… Standing before a solemn gathering at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV did not respond with anger. Instead, he delivered a powerful and deeply moving message grounded in faith, responsibility, and truth. “The President of the United States has said that I insult Jesus,” Pope Leo XIV began, his voice calm yet firm. “But let us reflect honestly — what truly insults the teachings of Christ?” Then, with quiet intensity, he answered: “You want to know what truly insults Jesus?

Remix News & Views @RMXnews German feminist Verena Brunschweiger promotes the slogan “My lineage ends with me.” She calls for people, especially White people, to stop having children. She claims that Western pro-natalists only want to “control women, and keep refugees out." Brunschweiger said that Europeans are to blame for the poor quality of life in Africa, and she would invite the entire world to Europe. "So I would take all immigrants and refugees in because we ruined the world, so to speak." "We produce the climate change which makes the life in Africa, for instance, miserable and horrible. So of course, why not invite [them] if they want to come?”
Bishop Czesław Kozon of Copenhagen, Denmark celebrates Mass according to the Roman Rite whenever he is asked to do so, he told de.CatholicNewsAgency.com on 4 July. He favours a pastoral approach: "People who want this should have the opportunity to do so." At the same time, he believes that 'Traditionis Custodes' "does not harm the Church": "One must recognise that the post-conciliar liturgy is the Church's liturgy, and that it can also be celebrated beautifully. That is the ideal we should strive for." He described the episcopal consecrations performed by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) as "tragic and completely pointless". Monsignor Kozon continued: "It also shows that this is about more than just the old Mass. Those who once praised the Church’s Magisterium, emphasised obedience and promoted unity are now acting in a way that is clearly disobedient and harms unity. That is why it is truly sad, and there is no excuse for it." #newsXjweykrbek

Dr. Gabriel Martinez joins us to shatter the myth of the 'divided life' in business and economics.

– Folha de S. Paulo, December 10, 1972 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The contradiction could not be more glaring. On the one hand, signs of the deterioration of communist regimes around the world are accumulating on the horizon. Just a few months ago, for example, Russia aspired to conquer the entire old continent. The strategy to achieve this had already been chosen: establishing a pan-European federation from the Urals to the Tagus, with its seat of power in Moscow. This ambitious plan would not be so difficult to carry out. Most European governments are short-sighted and weak. Thus, they lack the capacity to discern what is fallacious in the European Federation project and to resist the thousand propaganda pressures that favor it. Once the Federation was formed, the real difficulty would lie in creating habits of submission, poverty, and irreligion among Western European populations, over which communism would gradually spread like a cloak of insecurity, hunger, and crass materialism. …Okuninzi
