"(49) Here one should consider with what craftiness the enemy deceived her regarding the way of obedience and then placed in her heart the contrary and beyond this, caused her to think that these thoughts proceeded from her. And the wicked one did all this to make her fall into the ditch of mortal sadness which was so dangerous that when she was liberated from it, she said that she had feared she would depart. "
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; born/died: Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (43) On the contrary, now wishing to show by its contrary how to understand and recognize the diabolic messengers through the experience which she had in the above-mentioned diabolical apparition, she says that in all three occasions when the enemy showed himself to her in the way described, it never occurred to her at that moment to wonder if it was the wicked spirit. Instead, immediately and without any verification, she believed that it was the good spirit because, in these apparitions, the false enemy always preached to her that virtue which she loved the most, that is, obedience. Then with much importunity, he insinuated the opposite, putting in her heart thoughts which inclined her to pass judgment on her superiors. (44) And then, after this, under the appearance of contrition, he aroused so much sorrow over these suggestions that he made her stay …More

Cardinal Gambetti Expected to Leave St. Peter's Basilica: According to AdVaticanum, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti is expected to step down as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica by the end of the summer and become Archbishop of Chieti, a move seen as a demotion. The report attributes the change to Gambetti's fatigue after several demanding years, as well as controversies over security incidents at the basilica, administrative reforms, and other disputes. It also says his close association with Father Enzo Fortunato, who faced criticism over the World Children's Day initiative, weakened his position.
Three reasons: -Multiple personal leadership failures -Open war with the Chapter of Canons over power, money… and plastic chairs - The fallout from his initial trust with Fr Enzo Fortunato, whose handling of World Children’s Day left questions about wasted money,who is expected to leave anyways
The SSPX excommunications have forced the Church crisis out in the open Faith & Reason July 15, 2026 The excommunications of the Society of Saint Pius X have done what decades of debate could not: They have forced the crisis in the Catholic Church out into the open. Cardinals, archbishops, and faithful are now publicly divided over whether Pope Leo XIV is preserving or departing from historic Catholic teaching. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo praises the Pope’s leadership. Archbishop Jan Paweł Lenga labels Leo a “False Peter.” Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò defends the SSPX and questions the Vatican’s response. The battle lines are drawn, not over personalities but over authority, tradition, and the very identity of the Church. The SSPX’s decision to appeal its excommunication decree is a strategic move to force a public examination of the Vatican’s justification. Father Charles Murr argues that Catholics should not fear respectfully questioning Church leaders. The pope is not beyond criticism,…More
Humpback Whale Crucified among Priests, Altar Servers and an Altar: The blasphemous play Timmy: Hope Dies Last, which premiered on 11 July at the Ernst Deutsch Theater in Hamburg, Germany, portrays the stranded humpback whale Timmy as a Christ-like figure. Directed by Alexander Klessinger, the production features a 'Mass for Timmy', a crucifixion. The production was inspired by Timmy, whose stranding in the Baltic Sea this spring prompted a nationwide rescue effort. The whale was found dead off the coast of Denmark approximately two weeks after being freed. The operation reportedly cost around €2 million.
Es macht traurig und entsetzt zugleich, mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit das Heilige für Millionen von Christen verspottet wird. Jesus Christus – er, der die Liebe, die Vergebung und die Hoffnung ist – wird erneut zum Gegenstand von Provokation und Lächerlichmachung gemacht. Wo bleibt der viel beschworene Respekt vor Religionen, wenn es um den christlichen Glauben geht? Von Toleranz und Rücksicht wird gesprochen – doch immer wieder scheint das Christentum ein einfaches Ziel für Angriffe zu sein. Andere Religionen werden häufig mit größerer Vorsicht behandelt, während der Name Jesu öffentlich verspottet wird. Doch wir wissen als Christen: Das Wort war schon immer ein Dorn im Auge der Widersacher. „Denn es kommt die Zeit, da sie die gesunde Lehre nicht ertragen werden; sondern nach ihren eigenen Begierden werden sie sich selbst Lehrer aufladen, nach denen ihnen die Ohren jucken.“ (2. Timotheus 4,3) Jesus selbst sagte: „Wenn die Welt euch hasst, so wisst, dass sie mich vor euch gehasst hat.“ …More
The Archdiocese of Paris had planned to withdraw from the chapel Notre-Dame-du-Lys by June because of the cost of repairing the aging buildings - €1 million in the short term and about €3 million over the longer term. The proposal would have abolished both, the Novus Ordo and the Latin Mass that are celebrated in the Church. The Sunday Latin Mass drew around 150–250 faithful, while the Wednesday Latin Mass was dedicated to young people. Following strong opposition from parishioners and supporters of the chapel, the plan was revised. Instead, a religious community will assume responsibility for the chapel and its youth patronage beginning in September. This change has since been confirmed on the chapel's official website, although the announcement refers only to "a Community" composed of a priest and a seminarian, without identifying the institute. According to PaixLiturgique.org, Paris Archdiocese considered entrusting the chapel to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (…More
Unterschiede sind da, aber der Autor betont sie zu stark - so als wäre die orthodoxe Spiritualität wahr und die katholische falsch. Das halte ich für falsch.

Mother Miriam has done a complete 180 on the SSPX: "God has established His Church, his universe, everything on obedience, everything on obedience. Children are to obey their parents, not if their parents are holy and right, in everything but sin. Wives are to submit to their husbands, not because they're holy, not because they're right, but because God has given them that position — again, in everything but sin. Religious are to obey their superiors, whether their superior is right or holier than them, or no matter what it is, they are to obey in everything. And Christ's sheep, which is us, every one of us is to obey the successor of Peter, whether we know for sure he is, whether we agree with him, whether we can point out definite heresy. If he's the Pope, then we obey in everything but sin. We don't come against him. So that's where I left it yesterday, and my heart was completely converted."
