On August 24, 2024, Rev. Edgard Rimaycuna, Leo XIV’s personal secretary, shared on his Facebook profile the press release issued by the Peruvian Episcopal Conference (CEP) announcing the disqualification of canon lawyer Ricardo Coronado, reports InfoVaticana.com. At the time, the canon lawyer represented the three victims of Father Eleuterio Vásquez, known as “Lute.” Rev. Rimaycuna shared it on the same day it was published, adding one comment: “For those who want to stay informed.” Rimaycuna was a disciple of Lute, according to Santiago Roncagliolo’s book The Shepherd and the Wolves. According to InfoVaticana, Lute admitted that he sexually abused minor girls and maintained that it was not a crime because there had been no “complete sexual act.” The Lawyer Was Disqualified The CEP statement said that the bishops had “determined” that the Rev. Ricardo Coronado Arrascue “cannot receive approval to act as an ecclesiastical lawyer” and that he should be prohibited from “acting as counsel …Ọzọ
The new archbishop was also a member of the Hungarian Bishops' Conference when it responded in December 2023 to *Fiducia supplicans*—the declaration from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith that opened the possibility of imparting non-liturgical pastoral blessings to same-sex couples and those in irregular situations. The Hungarian bishops' response came on December 27, just nine days after the Vatican declaration was published. The Bishops' Conference began by noting that *Fiducia supplicans* "does not change the faith and perennial teaching of the Catholic Church regarding marriage and sexual morality." The bishops stated that priests could individually bless any person who requested a blessing, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. However, they set a limit on the document's implementation in Hungary: they called for "always avoiding the joint blessing" of couples living together without a valid Church marriage, those in marriages the Church considered …Ọzọ

Pope Leo XIV’s four-day visit to France, scheduled for September 25–28, will take place under exceptionally heavy security. Around 850 additional police officers are expected to be deployed just for the Lourdes and Metz portions of the trip. France’s elite RAID tactical unit, explosives-detection dogs, and plainclothes officers will also be involved. Authorities plan extensive drone surveillance and anti-drone measures. Preparations in Lourdes have already included authorization for police drones over the city and sanctuary. TribuneChretienne.com points out that Islamic elements ("Islamism") remain France’s principal terrorist threat. French counterterrorism prosecutor Olivier Christen said that jihadist cases accounted for 94% of new counterterrorism investigations opened by April 1, 2026. On September 25, Leo XIV is due to visit the Élysée Palace, UNESCO and Notre-Dame, followed by a youth gathering in Saint-Denis.

1 Corinthians 4:1-5 Paul says: “I am not conscious of anything against me.” Let us entrust everything to the Lord and let him love us. Luke 5:33-39 Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” When we welcome God’s presence, joy, and peace within us, we welcome the Life and Love of the bridegroom with us and within us. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Today, the 'International Theological Commission' published the verbose document “Caring for Our Common Home” (40,000 unreadable words). Cardinal Víctor Fernández brought the text to the consideration of Leo XIV on 28 July and authorized its publication on 21 August. Positive Reception of Teilhard de Chardin The text is often buried beneath dense and highly abstract vocabulary, much of it reflecting a cosmic and evolutionary vision of creation. The document speaks of the Holy Spirit “Christifying” creation through a “progressive growth”, so that creation “advances toward its eschatological fulfillment.” Elsewhere it describes “all matter” as tending toward transformation and fulfillment in Christ. Christ is consequently described as “the axis of the maturation of the world.” This language is strongly reminiscent of the cosmic heresy of the French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955). The document admits that it received "the contribution of Fr. Teilhard de Chardin” (footnote 184). …Ọzọ
" Cardinal Víctor Fernández brought the text to the consideration..." ---- As St. Thomas More wrote once to Fr. Martin (Luder): "Come, do not rage so violently, good father; but if you have raved wildly enough, listen now, you pimp... Lest the venerable father be irritated by the name of fool, come, let another be fashioned, not clearly a fool but nearly a fool; what is more, clearly a scoundrel and more than clearly a toadying buffoon, who was once a brother, later a pimp, then again a brother, afterwards an apostate, then again a pander, finally a clout-pate, who in some hinterland of [was it Bohemia or Argentine? - I do not remember] coming in on a feast of rustics begins to play the buffoon; when he has won their laughter by the filthiest gestures and the most obscene words, afterwards the silly and wicked mimic, having imitated a rustic, a pander, a drunk, a raging whore, finally eager to delight the feasters, begins to imitate an idiot, and in order to present a prime example of …Ọzọ
Additional info: The new Vatican document calls the Earth Bible Project—an eco-hermeneutical approach to Scripture—“a valid proposal,” reproduces its principles of “intrinsic worth,” “interconnectedness,” “voice,” “mutual custodianship” and “resistance,” and declares that “these principles are in line with Laudato si’.”

“What I’m trying to focus on is doing as much of God’s work as possible right now. And if that leads to the end times, so be it,” U.S. Vice President JD Vance said - assigning himself a rather grand role in God’s plans - in an interview with evangelical Bryce Crawford, published on August 31. Vance added: “There are, like, things about the world that make me feel, like, not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us, but, again, I try not to focus too much on it.” “The end times may be coming - in fact, they are coming. It’s just a question of whether they’re coming thousands of years down the road or a few months down the road.” Vance also said some developments involving AI companies made him feel there was “some really, really weird spiritual dark energy.” Vance Defends Trump’s Mockery of Christ Later in the same interview, Crawford confronted Vance about an AI-generated image Trump had posted in April depicting himself in Christ-like robes. Vance defended Trump: “Did Donald Trump …Ọzọ
I'm not sure I'd agree with the comment by this writer that Vance was assigning himself a "grand role" in God's plans. Shouldn't we all be doing God's work while we're here? Perhaps I've missed something in what was said.
03.08.2026 M.C PRIEST IN ROME DECLARED TERRORIST When I say that Islam and the other religions are not paths to salvation, I am citing Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7. AG 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation. All. AG 7 is placed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (846) under the title Outside the Church there is no salvation. So this is the pre and post Vatican Council II teaching of the Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church also cites John 3:5 and Mark 16:16. So I affirm the Bible, Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church for which I am labelled a terrorist, by the Rome police. But even Fr. Ramon Lustiner mc., the Father General of the Missionaries of Charity Contemplative Brothers of Mother Teresa in Rome, where I live, affirms the Bible, Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. So he and the other M.C priests too would be labelled terrorist. For Fr. Ramon Lustiner too Islam and Judaism are not paths to salvation …Ọzọ
Significant fact: - during the election of Pius XII, the white smoke lasted two minutes; - during the election of his successor on 26 October 1958, it lasted more than five minutes. Note: It is important to note that, for black or white smoke to be considered valid, it must be continuous: thus, two minutes for Pius XII and more than five minutes for his successor on 26 October 1958. A brief appearance of white smoke before a continuous stream of black smoke means nothing; similarly, a brief appearance of black smoke at the end of a continuous stream of white smoke means nothing either. I repeat: it is the continuity of the smoke’s colour that indicates whether or not a Pope has been elected. It is worth noting, for the record, that in the year 2025, 26 October falls on the same day (a Sunday) and on the same Feast of Christ the King as 26 October 1958, which was the 33rd celebration of this solemnity since its institution in December 1925.

Up until ten years ago, I had not known this. It is frightening to see how the papal elections were manipulated. I do believe that things would have been much better if Gregory had been crowned pope.

Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of September is for the care of water. “Water is a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through Baptism. We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders," the Holy Father expressed in his prayer released September 1 on the occasion of the Season of Creation. He added a plea to become “pilgrims of the essential, capable of living simply, denouncing waste and pollution, and defending the right of every person to drink without fear and without inequality.”
I think there is a trap when prayers have an audience are they for God or are they for the audience? The beauty of the Holy Rosary it has no audience appeal. Is this prayer for my ears or for God’s? Is this weaponised virtue signalling or a sincere prayer to God. Because if it is to God the prayer could be recited in Latin a language God knows well! The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for …Ọzọ

US Sisters and the Macarena Retirement Tour: The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) held its 70th anniversary gathering in Orlando, Florida, from 11 to 14 August. They posted a video on Facebook showing elderly women in civilian clothes dancing the Macarena (1995). The fitting headline: "When Catholic sisters get together, watch out for the dance parties! ". Macarena was popular when the sisters were in their 50s. The LCWR represents the leaders of many women's religious congregations in the United States.
Dance party of "nuns": The LCWR 70th Anniversary Gathering was held August 11–14, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. The event brought together Catholic women and men religious from the United States, Canada, Latin America and other parts of the Americas for prayer, worship, talks, discussion and community events.

2. Historical Context and "Dance Manias" Catholic history records instances where mass dancing was interpreted through the lens of spiritual affliction or divine punishment. [1, 2] St. Vitus’ Dance (Chorea): In the Middle Ages, outbreaks of compulsive, uncontrollable dancing (now understood as a neurological or psychological phenomenon) swept through Europe. [1, 2, 3, 4] Spiritual Intercession: Victims were sent to shrines of St. Vitus, a Christian martyr, to pray for deliverance and healing from what many at the time feared was a demonic curse or affliction. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 3. Ritual Dancing and Entry Points Catholic moral theology warns against practices that willingly open a person up to the influence of evil spirits.
