Vatican meeting calls for theology to emerge from "lived experience" in broken families. Fr. Stanislaus Chu Ilo, a Nigerian Catholic theologian, called for a “paradigm shift” in theology at the October 14 closing press conference of the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia. He advocated theology emerging through listening to people's experiences, fragilities and weaknesses, and spoke of discovering the “fingerprints of God” in the shadows of family life.
Vatican Amoris Laetitia Meeting: Theologian Calls for ‘Paradigm Shift’ in Theology
Why did Napa Institute invite James Martin to carry the monstrance with Our Lord down Broadway? This is just days after he attacked priests who refuse Communion to gays who are sexually active.
Belarus has blessed its first AI-generated religious icon The icon depicts Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager who was canonized in 2025 and became known as the “Cyber Apostle.” The icon was installed in a Catholic church in Novolukoml, where Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz blessed it on October 11. The move has sparked debate on social media, with some believers arguing that AI-generated images should not be used for prayer.
Erzbischof von Weißrussland segnet das erste jemals mit KI erzeugte religiöse Bild von Carlo Acutis. Der italienische Teenager wurde 2025 heiliggesprochen und als „Cyber-Apostel“ bekannt. Katholiken fragen sich, ob KI-Bilder zum Beten verwendet werden sollten.
Papa Leone sta bene, è buono il decorso post operatorio Dopo l'intervento di ieri Papa Leone XIV ha trascorso una notte tranquilla. Il decorso post operatorio procede bene.

"He is not going to change Traditionis Custodes. He is not going to return to Summorum Pontificum" the prefect of divine worship states that Leo XIV will liquidate the traditional Mass
Cardinal Roche: a considerable gap between his claims and the documented facts. Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, gave AdVaticanum.com an interview on October 13 containing factual errors, questionable assertions and what critics might describe as gaslighting. The world’s bishops wanted restrictions on the Latin Mass Cardinal Roche has “no doubt” that the world's bishops wanted to change Summorum Pontificum and restrict the Traditional Latin Mass, adding that “the bishops were very concerned about the situation.” Reality check: The majority of bishops responding to the Vatican's 2020 questionnaire stated that changing Summorum Pontificum would cause more harm than good. Benedict XVI issued ‘Summorum Pontificum’ for the FSSPX Cardinal Roche claims that Summorum Pontificum was created to accommodate the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). Reality check: Benedict XVI was asked by Peter Seewald in 2016 about precisely this interpretation. His reply …More

Walk, don't ride; sweat in the summer and freeze in the winter, and do not eat any meat. If you break these rules, which you do all the time, then you are a phony.
Prevost has no mercy, not with the Catholic victims of Muslims in Nigeria, nor with the Catholic victims in China, nor with the children who are victims of sin against the sixth commandment, but now he wants to awaken compassion for himself with this news about the nodule.
@Kurt Wail Not very charitable, BUT understandable considering this faux pope is destroying the faith with one heresy after the other. Perhaps Providence will scare the literal Hell out of him. I shall pray for healing for his soul; more important than the body.
Senior Cardinal urges Vatican to stop insisting on the "ideal family" and consider cohabitation, interfaith unions, and changing ideas about gender.
Cardinal notes “changing understandings of gender,” says Church must discern how to change. At Leo XIV's meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia on October 8, Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão delivered a speech on the challenges facing families in Asia. He is the President of the Conference of Bishops of India. Discussing changes in the “identity, nature and composition of the family,” the cardinal observed that “new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings.” Reflecting on what the Church has learned from its pastoral work, Ferrão declared: “Pastoral work is itself a place of discernment. We don't arrive with ready-made answers. We discern together with families and, in doing so, we learn how the Church herself is being asked to change.” In his conclusion, the cardinal stated that “there is no single stereotype of an ideal family” and asked, “What is the Holy Spirit asking the Church to change – not …More
EXORCIST SUES FOR DEFAMATION Fr. Carlos Martins is suing an assistant to Fr. Chad Ripperger for defamation, after the assistant (Kyle Clement) essentially called Fr. Martins a fraud. Fr. Martins is an exorcist ad actum, meaning he is commissioned by bishops on a case-by-case basis to perform exorcisms in their diocese. This has been confirmed in writing by Fr. Martins' religious superior, and confirmed by Fr. Martins himself. For whatever reason, Clement claimed in 2024 that Martins is NOT an exorcist. Fr. Martins waited a year for a public retraction and apology, which never came - so he pursued reparation to his public reputation by filing a defamation lawsuit. youtube.com/watch?v=F0jJIXvjzig
This has to stop! Fr Rippenger and Fr Martins are using this exorcist platform drawing too much attention to themselves. I was criticized for pointing this out and we are now seeing the consequences.
Sin is no love. Heretical situation's ethics is back.
Concubinages may contain “authentic love” - Leo XIV-appointed Bishop at the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. At the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Bishop Stephen Fernandes, 65, spoke on October 9 about accompanying unmarried couples. Leo XIV had apointed him as auxiliary bishop of Bombay, India, in October 2025. Discussing differences between countries, Bishop Fernandes said: “The Gospel remains one, but pastoral pathways cannot be identical everywhere.” Addressing cohabitation, he said that “we should resist both indifference and condemnation.” He proposed asking: “What is already good in their relationship? Where can we discern signs of generosity, fidelity, responsibility and grace?” Fernandes also questioned whether moving such couples toward marriage should be the sole objective: “The question is not simply: How can we move this couple towards a wedding? It is also: Are these two people truly called to marriage, and are they ready to enter into a lifelong marital …More

“Leo has spent his pontificate advancing what Francis started, and on Wednesday the Church under Leo XIV kept moving forward with the anniversary logo hanging right behind him.”
Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco: "There was more unity in the Church when we were living under Summorum Pontificum than we are now under Traditionis Custodes."
Leo has several senior Vatican officials whose terms have expired or who are already beyond the normal retirement age. Cardinal Kevin Farrell is 77. Cardinal Marcello Semeraro is 78.
Edward Pentin: A respected priest in Rome "was incredulous that certain Vatican cardinals who will remain nameless are still in positions of authority."
Another priest links up with SSPX, bishop removes faculties
Bishop James Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has revoked the faculties of Fr David Mary Engo who has associated himself with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), “He is not authorized to exercise public priestly ministry anywhere within the Diocese of Knoxville.” David Mary Engo was ordained a priest in 1997 by then-Bishop Seán P. O’Malley of Fall River, the future Cardinal of Boston. His religious and community status has a somewhat complicated history. He was incardinated into the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend in 2010, while simultaneously being excardinated from the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts. Engo founded a Franciscan community in 2009, professed perpetual vows, and served as the community’s Minister General. In May 2017, he resigned as Minister General and withdrew to a hermitage. By 2021, Engo was described by the Diocese of Knoxville’s newspaper as a Franciscan hermit living in the Diocese of Helena, Montana. Engo subsequently ministered in the Diocese of …More
On 24 November, the Vatican will publish The Private Diary of Pope Francis, drawn from notes Jorge Mario Bergoglio kept from 1992 to August 2024. They have been selected and commented upon by Cardinal Víctor Manuel “Tucho” Fernández, one of Francis’s closest collaborators. For someone who regards the Francis years as among the most bewildering and damaging periods of the modern papacy, the temptation to peer behind the curtain is irresistible. But how much will actually be revealed? At just 144 pages, distilled from more than thirty years of notes, are we getting Francis unfiltered—or Francis as curated by Fernández for posterity?
Bishop Schneider calls out the Vatican for promoting "brazen heresies" that are approaching apostasy. “We are witnesses of an unprecedented crisis of the Church. A hostile takeover within the strategic administrative structure of the Catholic Church.”
