Euthanasia Bill Rapporteur Attends Mass, Takes Offense at Anti-Euthanasia Homily

"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything."
Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates.
Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois.
Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said.

Pope Pius XII excommunicates all communist Catholics | July 13, 1949 | HISTORY

On July 13, 1949, the Vatican releases its “Decree Against Communism” to the public. The Cold War-era edict, issued by Pope Pius XII on July 1, excommunicates all communist Catholics. As head of the Roman Catholic church through most of World War II and the first decade of the Cold War—and a fervent anti-Communist—Pius XII authorized the Holy Office to expel from the church any Catholic who joined or even collaborated with “godless” Communists. Franklin C. Gowen, the acting representative at Vatican City to the U.S. Secretary of State, wrote a letter dated July 15, 1949, describing his meeting with a Vatican representative named Giovanni Battista Montini, who discussed the pope’s decree. Montini described communism as the “irreconcilable enemy” of the Catholic church and all of Christianity. Since the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, with its classless, atheistic underpinnings, communism had posed a profound existential threat to Catholicism. Like his predecessors in the Vatican, Pius …

Fantastic article. Shame about the Vatican isn't it? I wonder why they did this, "Because the specific 1949 excommunication of communist Catholics was not incorporated into the 1983 Code, that automatic canonical penalty is no longer in effect." Ah make the Catholic Church safe for communists again!

Swiss Pop Singer Films Lesbian Video in Historic Church: A 22-year-old Swiss pop singer filmed a music video with her girlfriend inside St. Emmeram Church in Regensburg, Germany. The video was intended to promote her song 'You Believe in Jesus, I Believe in Pussy', which celebrates her lesbian relationship. According to the parish, no filming permit had been granted. The matter has been referred to lawyers, and the video has since been removed from the internet.

German politician: 'Anyone who is Catholic cannot be against the male contraceptive pill' - LifeSite

Tue Jul 14, 2026 - 11:02 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic politician from Germany is campaigning for new contraceptives for men, claiming that they are compatible with Church teaching. Peter Liese, a medical doctor and Member of the European Parliament for the Christian Democrats (CDU), is promoting the development of the new contraceptive methods for men, including the “male pill.” The 61-year-old argued, “In most cases, women have to use hormonal methods of birth control, such as the pill, which many do not tolerate well. So the burden is either shifted onto women, or the only alternatives are methods that are either not as effective or are permanent – such as condoms or a vasectomy.” Together with his CDU colleague in Parliament, Christian Ehler, Liese has sent letters to the European Commission and German Research Minister Dorothee Bär (CSU). The commission should allocate more funding for research into male contraception, the MPs demand. The legislators want Bär, who has already …

U.S. and Canadian Jesuits Consolidate Novitiates

A decline in religious vocations has prompted the Jesuits in the United States and Canada to restructure the way they train future members of the pro-homosexual order.
The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States has announced that it will reduce the number of its novitiates from five to two by 2028. This decision was communicated in a letter dated 9 July and signed by the superiors of the conference's five provinces.
Under the new arrangement, one novitiate will be located in Detroit, Michigan, serving the USA Midwest, USA East and Canada provinces, while the second will remain in Culver City, California, serving the USA West and USA Central and Southern provinces. Each facility is expected to accommodate up to 30 novices.
"Running five novitiates takes an awful lot of high-quality Jesuit personnel," Fr. Joseph Daoust, SJ, superior of the Detroit Jesuit community, told DetroitCatholic.com on July 10. "Each novitiate requires three to four experienced Jesuits dedicated to …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

A very good strategic move, regardless of the outcome.

Irishpol

The outcome of the purported excommunication of the six bishops today will be far different from the outcome of the 1988 excommunications.
In 1988, there was no visible reason for Catholics to doubt Pope John Paul II’s sincerity as a faithful Catholic. In the minds of most of the laity at the time, he at least appeared to be faithfully following the authentic teachings of the Church, at the same time. The SSPX was completely unknown to the world and was easily labeled as a breakaway religion. Yet, they survived and grew unimaginably.
That is not the case today, as many Novus Ordo Catholics, whether they follow them or not, recognize that the SSPX strictly adheres to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church, and that it is the leaders in Rome who are following the teachings of Vatican II.
I would be greatly surprised not to learn that Rome is looking (praying?) for a lifeline at this time.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider on the conflict between Rome and SSPX: "The Pope are not God". For spanish readers here is an unoficial translation:
"No es un acto cismático en modo alguno (se refiere a las consagraciones episcopales), y por eso tenemos que precisar el significado de esa palabra. En los siglos pasados teníamos un punto de vista más estrecho al respecto, muy legalista; y al mismo tiempo veíamos a la obediencia al Papa desde una perspectiva estrecha, como algo casi absoluto; perdiendo de vista que él no es Dios sino una criatura. Debo decir que, de hecho, en la psicología de muchos tradicionalistas y conservadores, aun obispos y cardenales actuales, hay una divinización del Papa, no formal pero sí implícita. Por eso, para esa mentalidad, cualquiera que desobedezca recibe el rótulo de cismático. Esto es ajeno a la antigua tradición de la Iglesia. Es completamente extraño a los Santos Padres; yo soy un especialista en Patrística. …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

Archbishop Aguer: Traditionis Custodes Fueled Interest in the Roman Rite

Traditionis Custodes (2021) deepened wounds and, contrary to what Pope Francis intended, contributed to growing interest in the Roman rite, Archbishop Emeritus Héctor Aguer, 83, of La Plata, Argentina, wrote in a July 13 statement.
He notes that the Roman rite is especially popular among the young and contributes to “a good portion of conversions.”
“The transmission of the faith,” he adds, “is no longer passed, to a significant degree, from parents to children but from young people to young people.”
Monsignor Aguer says that “persecution or the extreme measures of progressivism” will not stop this growing movement. It goes “far beyond mere fashion” - whereas the fashion over the past sixty years has been to turn the Novus Ordo into an anything-goes vehicle of liturgical devastation.
He writes that the four Eucharistic Prayers of the Novus Ordo have effectively been displaced by “Eucharistic Prayer Zero” - whatever happens to occur to the celebrant at the moment.

Archbishop Aguer, Argentina, on the Traditional Mass: “Traditionis Custodes, issued five years ago, far from healing the wounds, only deepened them. And contrary to what its promoter sought, it contributed to a growing interest in Tradition and Orthodoxy, especially among young people. Today, a good portion of conversions occur among those who prefer the ancient rite (of the Mass). And the transmission of the faith, to a great extent, is no longer passed from parents to children, but from young people to young people”

Rousseu-Salet objects to being filmed and blocks the camera with his hand, saying, "You're being disrespectful by filming without authorization." Mariano replies, "We have the right to kneel. The Church instructs us to do so. We are not doing anything wrong."

Northern Ireland: Carrying a Bible Can Be a Criminal Offence

On July 2, the Northern Ireland Policing Board published guidance on how Safe Access Zone legislation applies to hospital ministry.
The zones extend up to 100 metres (extendable to 250 metres) around premises that kill unborn children. Three groups are protected: mothers attending for abortion, anyone accompanying them, and staff.
The flagged activities are:
- prayer with patients during end-of-life care
- scripture reading requested by patients or families
- carrying Bibles or religious materials through public areas of hospitals
- consensual pastoral ministry within wards or hospital grounds
- visible religious practice within areas covered by Safe Access Zones
These religious actions could constitute an offence within a designated zone. It is enough if a "reasonable person" would consider them capable of influencing, or "causing distress" to, a mother seeking an abortion - even if there is no intent to do so.
The guidance states there is no exemption for clergy or religious activity …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

Homosexual Activists Invited to Leo XIV's Meeting with Civil Society

Madrid's homosexual activist group Crismhom published recently photos on social media from its attendance at Leo XIV's meeting with "civil society" during his visit to Spain.
On June 7, the group became the first homosexual organization officially invited to a papal event in Spain. The invitation came from pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid.
Speaking to Artículo14.es, Crismhom president Ramón Legaspi Yrimia said the invitation showed "that the diverse Church exists and has a voice" and that "we, as LGBTI people, are part of the Church, not something foreign to it."
Later that day, Crismhom members attended the Pope's public Eucharist in Madrid, where they called for recognition of Catholic homosexual activists "as first-class Christians" and demanded access to the sacrament of marriage (!) "without distinction."

French Bishop: Pro-Euthanasia Lawmakers Cannot Receive Communion

“When a member of parliament identifies as Catholic while supporting legislation that authorizes the taking of life, he objectively places himself in opposition not only to the Church's constant teaching but also to a fundamental principle of human reason,” Bishop Marc Aillet of Bayonne told France-Catholique.fr on July 7.
Members of the French National Assembly are expected to vote on the euthanasia bill on July 15.
Bishop Aillet said euthanasia is “an intrinsically evil act, regardless of the circumstances” and that Catholics engaged in public life cannot ignore this teaching, “If they are aware of this inconsistency, they will no longer be able to receive Holy Communion.”
Responding to the presentation of euthanasia as an “act of humanity,” Bishop Aillet said that a truly fraternal society does not respond to suffering by eliminating the person who suffers.
He added that this message must be proclaimed despite “the dominant discourse, which seriously clouds consciences,” and “the …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

How Severe Is the Priest Shortage in French Dioceses?

French dioceses face a worsening vocation crisis, despite claims of improvement in seminary recruitment, Laurent Dastros writes on July 9 on Substack.com.
Dastros notes that, as of 2026, three French dioceses - Aire-et-Dax, Le Puy-en-Velay, and Le Havre - have gone between 12 and 14 years without a diocesan priestly ordination.
Carcassonne et Narbonne ended a 19-year gap in 2025 with the ordination of a 51-year-old candidate.
Annecy and Rodez could join this list next year if they continue without new ordinations.
Longer-Term Picture
Dastros calculates that between 2011 and 2026, only three dioceses recorded a single diocesan priestly ordination: Carcassonne et Narbonne, Rodez et Vabres, and Pamiers, Couserans et Mirepoix.
Based on the assumption that priests remain in active ministry for approximately 50 years, he estimates that, if current trends continue, each of these dioceses could eventually have only about three native diocesan priests.
He further identifies seven dioceses that …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

A Story of Two Cathedrals – Catholic Worker Movement

This spring I travelled from my home in Iowa to join Catholic Workers and friends from around the country in New York to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of our movement there on May 1, 1933. An added incentive for this journey was to join with activists from around the globe in witnesses for nuclear abolition on the occasion of the United Nations’ Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference that began on Monday, May 3. It was at the May Day festivities that the word was passed that the archbishop of Nagasaki, Japan, who was in town to address the U.N. conference, would be celebrating the 10:15 Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral the next day and several of us decided we would attend. As Martha Hennessy, visiting from Vermont, and I came out of the subway to walk the final few blocks to the cathedral, we were struck by the number of Japanese pilgrims of all ages on the streets of Midtown, greeting New Yorkers and tourists with gifts of origami cranes, gathering petition signatures,…
