Worse than Germany: The Caritas of the Archdiocese of Florence has launched Project Andrea, under which the Archdiocese will work hand in hand with the group Arcigay. The latter is Italy's leading homosexual advocacy organization. IlGiornale.it reported on June 23 that the flagship initiative of the project is Casa Andrea, a facility open to homosexual young people. The house will offer "personalized support and protected accommodation for young men and women in [gender] transition between the ages of 18 and 35." The entire project is funded by the Church through the Italian tax allocation 8×1000 (eight per thousand). "We are very proud to have opened Casa Andrea and the services connected to it," said Marzio Mori, director of Caritas Florence. This is only the latest sign of the Florentine archdiocese's closeness to homosexuals, especially since Archbishop Gherardo Gambelli took office in June 2024. #newsGtjpfzidqt
Worse than Germany: On June 24, the Spanish Bishops' Conference appointed economist Luis Ayala Cañón as the new president of Caritas Spain, the Church's largest charitable organization. He previously served on the Spanish Government's Advisory Council for Health and Social Services, reports InfoVaticana.com. He was appointed by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's administration in 2019. Ayala has also collaborated with left-leaning organizations, including Fundación Alternativas, a think tank widely associated with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). Spain's Socialist government under Sánchez enacted anti-Catholic policies, including legalizing euthanasia, expanding abortion, and advancing gender and homosex legislation. In its announcement, the Spanish Bishops' Conference made no reference to Ayala's previous government role or political collaborations, highlighting only his academic credentials and expertise in economics and social policy.

Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic venit in testimonium, ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum. (Jn. 1, 6-7).
After the election of Leo XIV, Aldo Maria Valli wanted to believe in the new pope and in the possibility of a change of direction, he admitted on his blog on June 25. Valli was the longtime Vatican correspondent for Italy’s public broadcaster, RAI. But: “The cold shower (or rather, a whole series of cold showers) quickly woke me from that dream in the form of statements fully in line with the Bergoglian disaster and a succession of ‘peace & love’ initiatives, marked by a shallow humanitarianism completely devoid of references to transcendence, sin, conversion, and the salvation of the soul.” On the consistory on Friday and Saturday, he writes: “Under Leo XIV, the Church is not merely avoiding any reversal of course; it is enthusiastically reaffirming the synodal model, transforming it into a permanent method of ecclesial governance.” Valli points to the names of the cardinals (Ryś, Fernández, Brislin, and Grech) chosen to lead the principal sessions. It is, he says, a gathering of …Magis
And the poisonous menu Prevost serves up in his rebellion against God—the worship of false gods and the paganism that violates the First Commandment, as well as disobedience and defiance of God’s NATURAL law and the rejection of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit through the profanation of the body—by means of sodomy, adultery, and every kind of immorality and sexual perversion.

Today, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X has published the coats of arms and episcopal mottos of the four bishops to be ordained on Wednesday. Fr Pascal Schreiber's Family Lions Fr Pascal Schreiber has chosen the motto Virgo Fidelis ("Virgin Most Faithful"), one of the invocations from the Litany of Loreto. Episcopal mottos are usually drawn from the Bible or express the bishop's personal mission. His coat of arms contains personal references. The two lions are taken from his family's coat of arms. Each holds a golden quill, a canting reference to the surname Schreiber ("scribe"). The colours black, red, and gold are a nod to his German homeland. Fr Michael Goldade's Twelve Ears of Wheat Fr Michael Goldade's motto, Adeamus cum fiducia ("Let us go with confidence"), comes from Hebrews 4:16. The defining feature of his coat of arms is the twelve ears of wheat. Besides symbolizing the Eucharist, they recall North Dakota and Kansas, his places of origin and upbringing, also his …Magis

On June 25, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller commented on the Vatican's rejection of the German bishops' proposal to allow lay preaching during the Eucharist. Key excerpts: - "One must not separate the Liturgy of the Word from the Eucharistic liturgy by having a layperson preach the first part and an ordained priest celebrate the second." - "Luther already condemned this as an abuse, accusing priests and bishops of no longer being servants of the Word but mere ritualists." - "The Council of Trent taught that sacramentally ordained priests were instituted by Christ as ministers of both the Word and the Sacraments." - "One cannot arbitrarily divide priestly ministry and outsource parts of it without effectively denying the sacramental priesthood in a Protestant sense." - "Ironically, those who most eagerly invoke Vatican II contradict it on the question of lay preaching during Mass." - "Germany's perpetual protesters should study the foundations of Catholic theology instead of driving the …Magis
No Press Conference: Leaving Castel Gandolfo after his usual Tuesday visit, Leo XIV brushed off reporters' questions with a brief response: "Not today."
He has actually finally figured this out! Pope Leo XIV left Castel Gandolfo this evening, where he traditionally spent Tuesday. When journalists tried to ask him questions he replied “not today”
The proximity of the consistory (Friday and Saturday) to the FSSPX consecrations (Wednesday) has allegedly prompted Leo XIV to remove the liturgy from the consistory's agenda. This information was published by Nico Spuntoni on IlGiornale.it, who cited an anonymous cardinal as his source. Although "synodality" was already discussed in January, it has returned to the agenda. Spuntoni adds three more pieces of information. - Notable absences at the consistory due to ill health include conservative Cardinals Joseph Zen (Hong Kong), Péter Erdő (Budapest), and Willem Eijk (Utrecht). - There is unease among the professed members and religious sisters of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X, who do not wish to risk incurring a possible excommunication. - The consistory's agenda has not generally generated enthusiasm among cardinals. Some also dislike the Synod Secretariat's method of working in small groups. #newsSdvnwboncj

"Ritornai a Roma per la canonizzazione di Marietta, quel grande avvenimento supera ogni descrizione. Piazza San Pietro e le vicinanze erano piene di gente venuta da tutto il mondo. Si dice che fossero oltre 500.000 . C'erano il presidente Einaudi e la moglie, il presidente del Consiglio Alcide De Gasperi, l'onorevole Giulio Andreotti ed altre autorità anche straniere, oltre che vescovi e cardinali. Io ero stata messa su in alto ad una finestra del Vaticano, dove si poteva tutta San Pietro gremita di folla. Di lassù potei assistere alla suprema glorificazione di mia figlia. QUella santificazione venne fatta in piazza San Pietro perchè tutta quella gente non entrava nella Basilica, ed era la prima volta che accadeva!" Mamma Assunta
