Bishop Strickland rejects yesterday's Vatican document marking 60 years of Nostra Aetate. Bishop Emeritus Joseph Strickland from Tyler, Texas, wrote on X.com on September 16 that the new Vatican document - approved by Leo XIV - “must be rejected and repudiated by all who hold Jesus Christ and His Church as the only way to the Father.” He refers to §54 on ‘The Path of Hope’: “The defensive entrenchment in one’s own position and the view that proselytism is the only way to engage with the other no longer make sense in a world that increasingly resembles an interconnected and constantly evolving global village.” Strickland counters: “Truth is not constantly evolving, Truth is Jesus Christ present with us in the world and His Church is the vehicle for our salvation.” #newsZzmwnhglqh

I wonder how much money he is making with them now. Besides his own RX company in cahoots with phizer selling cheap pills to make sure more people are able to get sick from them. The king of the vax. Still denying with mounds of proof it's dangerous. Still promotes it. And yet he still has followers who can't see one thing he does wrong. When he destroys everything he touches. Well, so be it. My hands are clean of this beast and his deadly sins.
The man lives in the make believe world of Humpty Dumpty where words mean whatever you want them to mean. We wonder if he would accept a large pay decrease because money too isn’t real.
Leo XIV appoints an interfaith champion, Monsignor Alfonso Raimo, 67, as Bishop of Terni-Narni-Amelia, Italy (September 15). Raimo has been auxiliary bishop of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno since April 2024 and a honoaray member of Rotary Club since 2025. Founder of an interreligious organization In 2022, the School of Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue was formally constituted, with Raimo as its president. In an October 2023 interview, Raimo explicitly connected the origins of his interreligious School with John Paul II's Assisi gathering. He explained that people of different religions walk together because “all religions can offer a contribution” to attaining peace. He considers dialogue “not only as a desirable possibility but as a common obligation and the only viable path.” Raimo described peace as a “harmony of differences” and called for accepting “diversity as an opportunity for personal growth and social development.” Christ went the "path of dialogue" In the same interview …थप
Jane Allen was suffering from anorexia. She traveled to Colorado seeking treatment. Instead, her doctor offered assisted suicide — a prescription for death. Her father intervened just in time. Jane began to heal — eating again, tapering off morphine. The anorexia clinic dropped her, calling her a “liability.” When Jane chose life, her doctors walked away. Assisted suicide isn’t healthcare. It’s preying on the sick and vulnerable.
Yes, communism which NON Russians brought to the people and killed tens of millions of CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX. Some people ought to take out all the hate from their hearts and their lying and get rid of the ignorance they speak. What was Sister Lucia concerned about? communism. What does the Church teach? communism is a sin and evil. Who did the Saintly Popes reach out to? The Russian Orthodox. Who did the Russian Orthodox reach out to? Saintly Popes. Who did most of those Saintly Popes and more condemned fiercely? protestantism. The slaughterer of souls. And also the mind. YES! The errors of Russia! But NOT of the Russian People! As the Church has said, taught and shown for centuries.
The carnival musician who almost married but then became a monk is now heading Heiligenkreuz. The 84 voting monks of the "conservative" Cistercian abbey of Heiligenkreuz near Vienna elected Fr Simeon Wester, 61, as their new superior today. He will lead the community for the next three years without becoming abbot. Born Karl Wester in Unkel on the Rhine, Germany, he grew up as one of five children. Music came early: piano, organ and trombone, followed by formal studies in choral conducting, singing and church music. As a young man, he was involved in the Rhineland carnival scene. Years later, when the musician decided to become a monk, the Cologne tabloid Express put the story on its front page: “Our carnival fool is going to the monastery.” Wester had felt drawn to monastic life since his teens but initially chose music. Around the age of 35, close to marrying his long-term girlfriend, he finally made the leap. He entered Heiligenkreuz in 2001. Music followed him behind the monastery …थप
An African Priest Serves Rural Italy's Spiritual Needs In rural Italy, a unique story unfolds. Rev. Vincent Souly, originally from Burkina Faso, is bridging cultural gaps as a beloved priest in Prato, Tuscany. For 15 years, he's served a predominantly Italian congregation, forming deep connections. Despite his Italian citizenship, he faces challenges of acceptance. Souly reflects on his identity, saying, 'A piece of wood, no matter how long it stays in water, will never become a crocodile.' He prefers to be recognized by his heritage rather than the color of his skin. His journey highlights the complexities of belonging and the power of community. Knewdex News
Instaurare Omnia in Christo These people ...ignorance is everywhere, be it in a mountain village, or a big city...May the Lord bless this priest, and give him PATIENCE. "They warmly greeted Father Souly and invited him to stay for dinner. When he politely turned them down, telling them that he planned to visit a cancer patient in another village, Ms. Orlandi gently ribbed him. “Give me a break,” Ms. Orlandi joked. “Who are you, the pope?” Mr. Ballotti asked Father Souly to come back the following week to watch a soccer match, but the priest said he would not have time."
Motoko Rich and Josephine de La Bruyère spent a weekend with the Rev. Vincent Souly as he toured his parishes.

The pastor towered over the bed and leaned down to move close to the patient, Carlo Martini, as the old man’s eyes fluttered open briefly. “How are you?” the priest, the Rev. Vincent Souly, asked, a bit too loudly. Mr. Martini’s wife, Renza Giagnoni, stood to the side and watched. “It looks like we’re the United Nations!” she said, also a bit too loudly. Father Souly is one of the few Black faces in the province of Prato, a mountainous region of Tuscany, in central Italy, where he has served for 15 years as a Roman Catholic priest. He has built warm relationships with his predominantly Italian …थप

Leo XIV-appointed Bishop Beat Grögli of St Gallen, Switzerland, knows about the transvestite show organised by the city chaplaincy. Ann-Katrin Gässlein, the chaplaincy’s pastoral worker for Culture and Education, told CatholicHerald.co.uk that the bishop “has been informed about the event in the spirit of transparent communication”. Tomorrow’s transvestite event has been in preparation for “several months.” It was “deliberately conceived as the kickoff for the ‘Deep Drag’ format.” Gässlein claimed that “the art form of drag serves as a medium and a catalyst for conversation, not as a matter of faith.”
