– Folha de S. Paulo, June 6, 1987 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Back in the seventies, the Brazilian newspaper, Folha de S. Paulo, asked Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira if he favored the end of legal restrictions to divorce. His reply is very applicable to the present debate around same-sex “marriage.” We reproduce the newspaper interview here having in mind the similarity between the two issues. _______________ * * * ________________ The Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) had numerous jousts against divorce in its history. Employing every means of action in this struggle, the TFP fought against it until the final moment. The victory of divorce did not result, however, from the fact that a particularly fervid or efficacious pro-divorce onslaught had finally managed to raze the glorious rampart of conjugal indissolubility. Rather, this victory resulted from the lamentable relaxations that occurred within the Catholic milieu itself! But, I insist,…More
Worse than Germany: Cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi of Tokyo has welcomed the Japanese government's plan to promote "understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity", which was approved on 16 June. The plan involves education and "awareness initiatives" in government, schools, and workplaces, as well as measures to combat "discrimination" against homosexuals. In an interview with UcaNews.com on June 17, Cardinal Kikuchi described the government’s decision as “meaningful”, stating that it had clearly articulated a policy intended to foster a "deeper understanding of sexual minorities". And: "An inclusive community that welcomes everyone is not just an attitude; it is the first step towards building the world that God calls us to create." The cardinal's latest remarks are consistent with his longstanding homosex activism. Tokyo Archdiocese has organised monthly homosexual Eucharists. In 2023, he contributed to the book LGBT and Christianity, promoted by the 'Catholic HIV/AIDS Desk'. …More
Even if we got millions of signatures, the cowardly bishop in Boston would not say a word. They get lots of money from the gov't and would never do anything to put that in jeopardy.

Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando. LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters. The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight. Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality” Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.” Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated …More

“Piracy and robbery” against Russian maritime trade will not go unanswered, the president has said They left out the two trump stole. Russia could seize ships carrying Western cargo in retaliation for similar actions against Russian maritime trade, President Vladimir Putin has warned. There have been several incidents in recent months in which Western militaries have seized vessels that their governments accused of being part of a so-called Russian ‘shadow fleet’. Putin warned on Wednesday during a meeting with Pacific Fleet commanders that Moscow could take retaliatory measures wherever it deemed necessary. “Some nations are violating the Law of the Sea by trying to restrict the movement of our civilian traders. They recently came up with the idea of seizing our ships and selling off our plundered property. This is certainly nothing short of piracy and robbery,” Putin said. “If such a policy is implemented in practice, we will be forced to take mirror responses. And not necessarily in …More

Why Does the Priest Sometimes Skip the Homily at Mass? | Catholic Mass Explained Have you ever attended Catholic Mass, listened to the Gospel, and waited for the priest's homily… …but then there wasn't one? Did Father forget? Is the priest allowed to skip the homily? And can a Catholic Mass legitimately be celebrated without one? The answer is yes—but it depends on the day and the celebration. IS A HOMILY REQUIRED AT EVERY MASS? No. According to Canon 767 §2 of the Code of Canon Law, at Masses celebrated with a congregation on Sundays and holy days of obligation, a homily is required and should not be omitted except for a serious reason. But what about an ordinary weekday Mass? A homily is strongly recommended, particularly during seasons such as Advent, Lent, and the Easter season, but it is not universally required at every weekday Mass. So if you attend a weekday Mass and the priest moves on after the Gospel without preaching, it does not automatically mean that he has done …More
