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.

Rev. Larry Holland, a 79-year-old Catholic priest recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered medical assistance in dying twice by hospital staff. This was despite him making it clear that he is a Catholic priest and is morally opposed to euthanasia.
Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture.

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 …barrachd
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
Their outreach to traditional Catholics through their publishing ministry has been the finest I've ever seen.

The Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage in the Roman Rite will take place from October 23 to 25 in Rome. There is conflicting reporting about whether a Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 24, in Saint Peter’s Basilica, similar to the one in 2025 celebrated by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. The official program on Summorum-Pontificum.org for the 2026 pilgrimage lists a Pontifical Mass at the Altar of the Chair in Saint Peter’s Basilica. However, the president of Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce, Joseph Shaw, denied the report on X on May 2, writing: “I am told by the organisers that this is not true. Please pray that it will become true.” #newsKffszvvztk
Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure. InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post." Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese. Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007. He has been a Russian citizen since 2011. In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states. Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity …barrachd
