The Transalpine Redemptorist community has proclaimed itself sedevacantist. In a letter dated 2 May, they wrote: "The pre-Vatican II popes condemned indifferentism as a deadly heresy. The post-Vatican II claimants to the papacy have embraced it, promoted it and acted upon it." The group has three monasteries. The community's mother house is located in Papa Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland. They also have a house in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand, and a pioneer community in the Diocese of Great Falls–Billings, Montana, USA. In 2008, they broke away from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X in order to obtain regularisation from the Vatican, they were then invited by diocesan bishops to establish priories in New Zealand and Montana. Critics accuse the community of fostering a personality cult surrounding the two leading priests. In their new letter, signed by all the members, they state that "the modernist presence within the structures and hierarchy of the official Church has gone …Bontsi
There is a very good argument that they were and are bad popes but popes they are. The idea that if a pope is bad he is no longer pope is really very silly.
There is a very good argument to be made that Leo is not the pope. He sure doesn't act like it or teach like it. One day, Holy Mother the Church will make a determination

Vatican Press Director Under Fire Over Workplace Relationship: SilereNonPossum.com reports that Vatican Press Office Director Matteo Bruni allegedly has a relationship with an employee that “isn’t very clear”. However, one staff member added: “Actually, it’s very clear.” Sources provided chats, videos, and images allegedly showing Bruni with employee Chiara Armenti, including photos of them having drinks and dinner together outside working hours in Rome. Armenti, who has headed the Bulletin for the past year, is said by colleagues to enjoy a “privileged relationship” with Bruni that has “been wearing down the atmosphere in the Press Office for years.” Colleagues further allege that, feeling protected by the director, she has increasingly treated coworkers with condescension and arrogance, including those who had worked in the office long before her arrival.
“I will curse your blessings” Pope Gregory VII on Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons Guilty of Fornication: their blessing turns into a curse, and their prayer into sin.

Pope Gregory VII on Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons Guilty of Fornication: “As for priests, deacons, and subdeacons guilty of the crime of fornication, let them know that the apostolic authority of the Church forbids them to remain in their orders. They must be removed from the ministry and, if possible, be sent away from the Church altogether. Let no one excuse them on the grounds of ignorance or weakness, for the Church’s discipline is clear: those who commit such sins are not only to be shamed but also to be corrected by the most severe measures, so that the purity of the clergy may be preserved and the people may be protected from the contagion of such vices” ww1.thelatinlibrary.com. This instruction reflects Gregory’s broader reform agenda, in which he sought to purify the clergy from moral corruption, especially sexual immorality, which he saw as undermining the Church’s authority and the spiritual well-being of the faithful. The letter also warns that such sins are not limited …Bontsi

Saint of the Day, Friday, April 30, 1971 Today is the feast of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church. Here is the text provided about her: The first Christmas Catherine spent in Rome was approaching. When she was a poor girl, she had always liked to give presents to her friends on this holy feast with flowers and crosses. But now that she had prestige, to the joy of her friends, she was obtaining indulgences and concessions from the Church for them. She did not forget the pope, to whom she sent five oranges she had gilded, sending along with the gift these expressive lines: “Be thou a tree of love grafted onto the Tree of Life, Christ, the sweet Jesus. From this tree will spring a flower born from thy will, and the thought of virtues and their fruits will ripen for the greater honor of God and the salvation of thy flock.” “This fruit seems bitter when first bitten by the mouth of holy desire, but it will become sweet provided the soul is resolved to suffer to death …Bontsi
