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.
First of all, I believe that the Novus Ordo Mass is a valid Mass. But also, in my personal opinion, it is insufficient. What do I mean by insufficient? It lacks some of the elements that mark it as our HIGHEST form of worship. Not because it is less elaborate in external elements. Not because it is not in Latin. But because it was stripped down in its prayers. Those prayers and psalms that are embedded into the rubrics themselves, most of them are gone. Now, this isn’t about whether the new Mass is valid or not. I’ve already said it is. That’s not the issue. The point here is that there’s an objective weakening in the new Mass that affects the doctrinal clarity of its sacrificial nature. And honestly, this ties into a bigger problem. Our society right now tends to oversimplify everything. But when you start simplifying the way we worship, it doesn’t just stay there, it starts to shape and weaken how we believe. Now my question is this: why did the reformers do it? If their only reason …Yana
The same case could be made for the 1962 Missal which saw over 100 changes from its predecessor. Nothing good has come or will ever cone from us whining about something that only the Vatican has control over.
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.

Leo XIV’s October Bishops’ Meeting to Be Held Without Laity: Leo XIV’s October bishops’ meeting on Amoris Laetitia will receive organizational support from the Synod Secretariat led by pro-homosexual Cardinal Mario Grech. The Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life under pro-homosexual Cardinal Kevin Farrell is overseeing preparations. This is the first bishops' October meeting in years to be held without lay participants.
There is a small sanctuary in the midst of the vast turmoil of London, to which many people look with reverence: the former Charterhouse of the Salutation of the Mother of God. The monastery perished in 1538, after enduring for three years the cruelest hostility of Henry VIII. Within its cloisters and cells lived those English Carthusians who would later be recognized as martyrs. And although their martyrdom took place elsewhere, it was here that they prepared themselves to give their lives for what they believed to be just. This book explores the architectural evolution of the monastery through pictures, descriptions, and reliable sources, as a way to understand these men who, for conscience’s sake, stood so stoutly and died so nobly.

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 …Yana
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. I have a treasured collection of "The Catholic" newspapers and books from The Desert Will Flower Press.

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
Tue Apr 28, 2026 - 9:46 am EDTWed Apr 29, 2026 - 5:53 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A German theologian and vice president of a Catholic lay organization claimed that Cardinal Reinhard Marx implementing same-sex “blessings” in Germany was done “in consultation with Rome.” Thomas Söding, the vice president of the heterodox Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), was asked about Pope Leo XIV’s response to Marx implementing “blessings” for “couples of all gender identities” in an interview with Deutschlandfunk. Söding stated that what the Pope said “about blessing ceremonies is, as I see it, a kind of peace offering to the universal Catholic Church, which is, after all, torn in two on this issue.” “In Germany, what should and can happen with same-sex couples has been discussed with Rome, and that is not going to change,” he asserted. He said that the heterodox “blessing” guidelines came out of the German Synodal Way, which “is a response to an unresolved issue.” “At present, the …
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 …Yana

SSPX against Prevost: "...Leo XIV gives the impression of considering the pseudo-Anglican Church as an instrument of salvation, insofar as he encourages Madame Mullaly - who is no more a bishop than St. Joan of Arc - in her mission."
The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer – commonly known as the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – have issued a declaration stating that “we cannot accept the current pretenders to the papacy from the time of the Second Vatican Council.” The Transalpine Redemptorists were founded in 1987 with the blessing of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The founder, Fr Michael Mary, derives his holy orders from Lefebvre. The community operated on good terms with the SSPX for many years, until the majority of the community reconciled with the Vatican in 2008. A community of nearly 30 members, “The Sons” have had operations in Scotland, USA and New Zealand. In recent years, they have experienced acrimonious relations with the bishop of Christchurch Diocese, NZ, who evicted them from the diocese in 2024. In October 2025, the community issued a forceful open letter repudiating “the Synodal Church” and the reforms of Vatican II. While aspects of the October letter pointed towards the conclusion of a vacant See, …Yana
Once one decares sede vacante, there seems no way back. By what means does the sede become repletus? Does Rome have to return to 2008 when the Transalpine Redemptorists reconciled with it? Maybe Rome has to go back to 1965, or 33. Through inspiration, wisdom or simple practicality, Abp Lefebvre canonically formed the SSPX to hold the charism of the Vetus Ordo and Vetus faith. They do not declare the sede vacant. They include the Pope and Local Ordinary in the Cannon, and obey every declaration of Rome to the extent it does not violate that previously approved charism. When Rome returns to the Apostolic Faith, which it will with God's Grace, the SSPX does not have to change a thing. They can even help train the Synodal Priests in the Apostolic Faith they never knew. Pope Leo holds the office of the Pope. To say otherwise is mere fancy. Leo does things which are not within the competence of the Pope. His role is the preservation and proclamation of the Apostolic Faith and Morals. When Leo …Yana
