Leo XIV in Lampedusa: Today, Pope Leo XIV visited Lampedusa to highlight his preferred issue of immigration. He began the visit with a silent prayer at the Cala Pisana cemetery, standing before the wooden crosses of migrants who had died while being trafficked. During his homily, he greeted the immigrants and thanked them for helping each other. As he walked along the island’s rocky coast, the wind blew his zucchetto off (as can be seen in the video).

Einer der bezauberndsten Momente beim Besuch von Papst Leo XIV. auf Lampedusa.
Der Wind wehte dem Papst sein Zucchetto vom Kopf, als er an der felsigen Küste der Insel entlangging. Zum Glück kam Monsignore Edgard zur Hilfe!

Bishop Kozon: "Traditionis Custodes Does Not Harm Church - FSSPX Consecrations Do"

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."

Bank secrecy no longer exists at the Vatican: Curial dicasteries given access to IOR accounts

Vatican City - Anyone who opens an account at the Institute for Works of Religion signs forms, accepts terms and conditions, and is assured that their personal information will be handled confidentially. What they are not told is that their data may be passed on - without a court order and without any request from the Supervisory and Financial Information Authority, ASIF - to a dicastery of the Roman Curia. Or, as will become clear, directly to the Pope himself. The episode that exposes the system Under Pope Francis, the way money was handled in the Vatican was worse than in the most authoritarian China - a country with which, after all, he had no difficulty concluding secret agreements. The difference was that he had the press on his side. Bergoglio went so far as to tell the Cardinal Archpriest Emeritus of St Peter’s Basilica the precise amount held in his IOR account. This was a cardinal with very limited personal means, who had made a habit of devoting a substantial part of his money …

Cardinal still hoping for Reconciliation with the Society of St. Pius X Excommunication is not a definitive break

Cardinal Koch: Still hoping for reconciliation with the Society of St. Pius X Excommunication is not a definitive break: Following the controversial episcopal ordinations by the Society of St. Pius X, Cardinal Kurt Koch calls for self-criticism and dialogue. He explains why he believes the conflict can be resolved in the long term. Cardinal Kurt Koch views the recent episcopal ordinations by the Society of St. Pius X with composure. Furthermore, he believes the final word has not yet been spoken regarding their rift with the Catholic Church. In the latest episode of the *Communio* magazine podcast, Koch stated that excommunication serves as an invitation to repentance, enabling a return to the fold. He expressed hope that it would be possible to resume talks in the future "so that they might find their way back into the Catholic Church." In the Catholic Church, excommunication signifies exclusion from the ecclesial community. Koch explained that, historically, schisms often followed …

Study: Nordic Walking Reduces Depression Symptoms Within Weeks – NaturalNews.com

A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that supervised Nordic walking significantly reduced depression symptoms in adults with moderate to severe depression. The most pronounced improvements occurred within the first five weeks of the 10-week program, according to researchers. The study enrolled 64 adults, with 48 assigned to Nordic walking and 16 to a non-active control group. The findings challenge the commonly cited three-month timeframe for exercise benefits on depression, as referenced in French health guidelines cited in the study. About the Study The trial randomly assigned participants to either 10 weeks of supervised Nordic walking, consisting of two sessions per week at 65–75% of maximum heart rate, or a control group. Depression symptoms were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II at baseline, week five, and week ten. A secondary analysis examined whether participants with severe depression responded differently than those …

Ortega intensifies the persecution against the Church: Bishop Abelardo Mata is detained twice in one day

The persecution against the Catholic Church in Nicaragua has added a new episode. Just one day after being detained and subsequently released, the bishop emeritus of Estelí, Msgr. Abelardo Mata, 80 years old, was arrested again by the Nicaraguan police on June 30 and has remained under house arrest since then. The new detention occurred when the prelate went to a clinic for a pacemaker check-up. The arrest came just twenty-four hours after he had presided over a Mass in which he prayed for the persecuted Church in Nicaragua, a celebration that various sources consider the trigger for the reaction of the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. The offensive was not limited to the bishop. Parish priest Francisco Morales, of the parish of the Holy Cross of Calvary in Estelí—where Mata celebrated the Eucharist—and deacon Wilfred Arauz Rodríguez were also detained. Both were later released, although they remain subject to restrictions imposed by the authorities. Estelí, one of the main …

Happy Independence Day to our American neighbours

Yes, happy Independence Day, this fourth of July, to our American neighbours as they celebrate the 250th anniversary of adopting the Declaration of Independence. This act, on July 4, 1776, marked the birth of the United States of America. So, happy birthday to the United States. May God keep both Canada and America strong and free. Here's the central idea of the Declaration: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, —That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to …

AI on X states : The Gloria.tv article by Lionel Andrades argues Viganò's schism trial contains doctrinal errors, the DDF used an "irrational" interpretation of Vatican II texts

On Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's X account I posted these links from Gloria TV in the AI section. These are the comments from AI ( Grok).
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò shared a photo of Italian street graffiti reading "siamo tutti lefebvrani" ("we are all Lefebvrists"), referencing the traditionalist movement of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.
Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the US who has been excommunicated and publicly criticized Vatican leadership including under Pope Leo XIV, frequently highlights resistance to post-Vatican II reforms.
The post ignited discussion in traditionalist circles, with supporters viewing it as solidarity against perceived Church corruption and critics warning it risks creating a sectarian focus on Lefebvre rather than core Catholic doctrine.Investigate SSPX current status

Islam’s European Slave Trade – Allah's Willing Executioners

Slave market in Constantinople. Unknown artist, 19th-century lithograph, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons On June 16, Rupert Lowe’s Rape Gang Inquiry was released. The grotesque details of this 219-page report can only be read in sections. The systematic trafficking of British girls by Muslim slavers who often called them slurs like “kuffar”—infidels—as they were gang-raped and subjected to tortures better left undescribed and the decades-long cover-up are rage-inducing. Right-wing figures from Geert Wilders to Tommy Robinson have highlighted the context for these crimes—the historical hostility of Islam to the Christian West. This vile enmity can be found on almost every page. “Evidence in grooming gang trials has repeatedly shown…victims [some as young as 11] described as ‘white slags,’ ‘white trash,’ ‘kuffar b**ches,’” the report notes on page 140: Perpetrators shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ and boasted of racial supremacy. Yet as far as available public records are concerned, racial aggravations …

Investigation launched after priest finds 'bloody tear' on St. Padre Pio statue - LifeSite

Thu Jul 2, 2026 - 3:08 pm EDT CASALBA, Italy (LifeSiteNews) — A priest’s testimony about a weeping statue of St. Pio of Pietrelcina has attracted attention to a tiny Italian hamlet 25 miles north of Naples. Father Girolano Capuano, the parish priest of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Casalba, Macerata Campania, was recently interviewed by multiple mainstream Italian media outlets about his discovery of “a bloody tear” on the statue of Padre Pio at the entrance of the church. According to Fr. Capuano, he was first alerted to the phenomenon on April 18 when a parishioner told him that there was a “stain” on the left cheek of the statue. As the statue was high up on an outdoor plinth, the priest tried to remove the mark with a broom. Having failed, he returned the next day with a ladder and a cloth to try to wipe the stain away. That is when he discovered that the reddish mark on the fiberglass statue, which he could not erase, resembled a tear of blood. Capuano said on Mediaset’s “Mattino …

Cardinal Koch: The FSSPX's View of Papacy Is Contradiction

Cardinal Kurt Koch, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, says the illicit episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) should not be seen as the end of dialogue with Rome. Key quotes from the Communio podcast published by Herder on 2 July..
On Excommunication and Future Dialogue
- An excommunication is a medicinal penalty. It is not intended to be definitive; rather, it is meant to invite repentance so that one may find the way back.
- I hope it will be possible in the future to resume new talks, so that they may find their way back into the Catholic Church.
- At the moment I do not see that happening, but it would also be far too early.
No Recognition of Popes Since Vatican II
- This amounts to a form of self-authorisation for carrying out episcopal consecrations.
- …a self-contradiction: on the one hand, they invoke the authority of the Pope in the most beautiful terms, yet on the decisive issues they go their own way.
- To me, this gives …More

WHY DID GOD CLOSE THE DOOR OF THE ARK HIMSELF?
One of the shortest verses in the story of Noah may also be one of the most profound.
After Noah, his family, and the animals entered the Ark, Scripture simply says:
"Then the Lord shut him in." (Genesis 7:16)
Notice carefully.
Noah did not close the door.
His sons did not close it.
An angel did not close it.
God Himself closed the door.
Why?
Surely Noah could have done that himself.
Why would the Bible deliberately tell us that God shut the door?
The answer reveals a breathtaking mystery about salvation, the Church, and even the end of time.
1. GOD CLOSED THE DOOR BECAUSE SALVATION BELONGS TO HIM
Imagine if Noah had closed the door.
People might have accused him:
"You left us outside."
"You condemned us."
"You decided who should live and who should die."
But Noah did not make that decision.
God did.
The message is clear:
Salvation is never a human invention.
It is always God's work.
Noah built the Ark.
But only God determined when the time …More
