Cardinal Francis Arinze, 93, spoke to PerMariam.com about the serious damage being caused to the sacred liturgy: "If a priest introduces parts of the Mass that are not approved, or removes parts that are, he causes damage to the Church. Even if his intentions were good, perhaps he thought, 'I want to make the Mass more interesting. I want to make it more personalised' – that's a mistake. He is wrong."

Acts 4:13-21 Peter and John say, “It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.” The joy, peace, and love of God are proclaimed by Peter and John. Mark 16:9-15 The risen Jesus says to the Apostles, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel.” Proclaim that God loves you, that He is with you every day, that the joy within you is God.

Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Guy Boulanger as Archbishop of Sherbrooke, Canada. Biographical Outline Born in 1963 in Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology, and earned a doctorate in canon law in Ottawa. Ordained a priest in 1991 for the Archdiocese of Sherbrooke, he held numerous pastoral and administrative roles, including parish priest, rector of a shrine, and vicar general. Pope Francis appointed him Bishop of Rouyn-Noranda in 2020 and also Bishop of Amos in 2023. He governed both dioceses simultaneously. Francis-Aligned Bishop His public profile presents a Francis-aligned, loyla bishop: supportive of synodality, pastorally focused on the poor, and attentive to Indigenous groups. During the diocesan synod, he opened consultation broadly to the population, even beyond Catholics. He framed the Church as a space “where everyone can express themselves and contribute” In 2025, after the election of Leo XIV, Boulanger stated that the new …Bivule

Barnhardt Podcast #251: The Prayerful Posse: … In this case, the excuse that we do not know whether or not Prevost has repented is groundless, for a public scandal demands reparation through a public retraction. Moreover, this constitutes a sin of apostasy against God and against the Faith. We are not dealing with just any sin; its gravity is underscored by the fact that it confirms we are facing a heretic who publicly committed an act of apostasy—a transgression that fully compromises him and renders him unfit to exercise the office of the Papacy. Nevertheless, since this scandal came to light, Prevost has maintained his silence, looking the other way as if nothing had happened. REVEALED: Clergy who attended Pachamama ritual with apostate Robert Prevostsupport Marxist Liberation Theology. Nor does Prevost have any excuse for having committed an act of apostasy thirty years ago, for there is evidence that—prior to this act of apostasy—he was part of a group of Marxist Augustinian …Bivule
The Pacha posse dropped the ball. I'm very fond of Fr Murray but this one is a slam dunk. I can see from his face that his brain is glitching with the contradictions. He needs to take some time out, ponder the matter and come to the obvious conclusion. It's not a nice place to be in but it is as it is - reality!
Furthermore, evidence of this ongoing betrayal is manifested in the public apostasy of the other members of the Conocoto sect. One need only examine the Marxist agenda of Prevost's comrades. To date, none of them has repented; on the contrary, Joaquín García Sánchez—who offered the sacrilegious, inculturated Mass that included the adoration of Pachamama—died in his obstinacy.
Une "messe de table" a été célébrée le jeudi saint 2 avril à l'église Notre-Dame du Finistère, en Belgique. Elle s'est déroulée autour d'une grande table de banquet, comprenant des éléments du repas. Certaines personnes âgées y ont participé. Le curé a prétexté que le carême se finit le jeudi saint et non pas après la vigile de Pâques et que nous pouvons donc déjà célébrer. La paroisse fait partie de l'archidiocèse de Malines-Bruxelles, dirigé par l'évêque Luc Terlinden, anciennement dirigé par le cardinal Joseph De Kesel. Rappelons que, dans cet archidiocèse l'année dernière, il y avait également eu une "messe de table" dans une autre paroisse de ce même archidiocèse, mais cette fois-là pour être en union avec "nos frères" musulmans pour couper le jeûne avec eux.
Since 2019, the German-speaking 'Conference on the Liturgy' has been working on a new book of blessings Benedictionale. The Vatican signalled its openness to the project in 2023, with completion planned for 2029. In an interview with katholisch.de on 9 April, the project's chairman, Benedictine Father Johannes Feierabend, said that the blessing formulas are "no longer formulated with priests and deacons in mind". Instead, they speak more generally of 'leadership'. It is still unclear whether laypeople would conclude blessings of the congregation with “May the Lord bless you” or “May the Lord bless us”. The new Benedictionale also includes blessings for homosexual and 'loving' couples: “We believe there should be a formula for this as well,” said Fr. Feierabend. This was the “only point that immediately caught the eye” in the Vatican. Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier suggested that the Vatican should draft such a formula. However, the German-speaking working group wants to write …Bivule

Today, the Vatican press speaker Matteo Bruni published a statement addressing recent media reports about a January meeting between Pentagon officials and then US Nuncio Christophe Cardinal Pierre. Bruni claims that the portrayal of the meeting in certain media “does not correspond to the truth in any way." He emphasized that the meeting was routine and part of the nuncio’s regular diplomatic responsibilities. Cardinal Pierre’s discussion with Elbridge Andrew Colby at the Pentagon was simply "an opportunity to exchange views on matters of mutual interest". The Vatican Press Office is not known for telling the truth. The Substack.com-account The Pillar reported on April 10 that the January meeting was "tense at times, characterizing some exchanges as aggressive", yet without threats. #newsJdymfwngfx
