Priests must continue to celebrate the traditional Mass ‘under the radar’ and, when necessary, openly defy the attempted prohibition of it, philosopher Peter Kwasniewski told Certamen.info. He underlined that lay Catholics who attend an FSSPX Mass because of their attachment to the old rite are “by no means schismatics.” But he simultaneously distances himself from a more strongly pro-FSSPX position: “If another opportunity of assisting at the old rite is already available in the same geographical area, it becomes harder to justify attending an SSPX chapel.” He points to the FSSPX’s “manifest canonical irregularity.”
Kwasniewski zu Certamen: Traditionis Custodes ist gescheiterte Gesetzgebung Rom hat sechs Bischöfe der Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. für exkommuniziert erklärt, und Kardinal Roche, der Präfekt für den Gottesdienst, hat jede Änderung an Traditionis Custodes öffentlich ausgeschlossen. Kwasniewski hält das Motu proprio für juristisch wie theologisch unstimmig. Kwasniewski: Rückkehr zum Frieden von Summorum … #katholisch#Kirche
Thanks be to God my bishop gave me permission to offer the TLM many years ago. Now I know it cannot be revoked, and living in a private residence, I can offer private Masses without being forced to celebrate the Novus Ordo.
The Vatican’s International Theological Commission has just given a positive hearing to panentheism (the idea that creation exists “in God” so is also Divine).
A “queer ecumenical service” was held inside the Catholic Kollegienkirche in Salzburg, Austria, on September 2 as part of the city’s “Pride Festival.” Catholic participation included the Catholic University Chaplaincy, alongside Protestant, Old Catholic and Methodist representatives and a homosexual advocacy group.

Another Vatican appointment for Montse Alvarado: Leo XIV puts the future head of Vatican communications on the board of his new “Fratello Sole” Foundation - even as her digital record at EWTN offers little to celebrate. Today, Leo XIV appointed Maria Montserrat “Montse” Alvarado as a member of the Board of Directors of the Vatican’s newly established Fratello Sole Foundation. She becomes the third member of its three-person governing board. Alvarado is due to take office as Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication on November 1. She is divorced and received a Church annulment of her marriage. She is not a theologian and has attracted attention for arguing in 2022 that Jews should not be converted to Christianity. Women Taking Over the Vatican Leo XIV established the Fratello Sole Foundation in June to oversee an agrivoltaic project intended ultimately to meet the electricity needs of Vatican City State.

"Just one month ahead of a global meeting of bishops in the Vatican on Amoris laetitia, some episcopal leaders have told The Pillar that they have not received information about what to expect or how to prepare, and are eager to learn the pope’s plans for the scope and approach to the discussion."

The history class “The Catholic Intellectual Tradition” has become one of Yale’s most popular courses. Last spring, it attracted 85 students - up from just 13 a decade ago. The course explores two millennia of Catholic thought, from early Christianity and medieval mysticism to debates about war, philosophy and modern life. It has even reportedly attracted more students than long-standing Yale favourites such as “The Birth of Europe” and “The Roman Empire”. This boom comes at a time when universities are debating cuts to the humanities.
Fr Edmund Waldstein, a monk and priest of Heiligenkreuz Abbey in Austria, will no longer teach moral theology at the abbey’s seminary. Rector Wolfgang Klausnitzer, 75, a diocesan priest, says Waldstein will not return to teaching during his tenure. Waldstein has defended the death penalty for heretics and Catholic integralism. He has now been removed from teaching and sent to Rome to pursue a further doctorate in philosophy. He has occasionally celebrated the Traditional Latin Mass.

Archbishop Jesús Sanz Montes of Oviedo has backed rallies across Spain in support of Ceuta and Melilla. He criticised Morocco’s “territorial claims” and accused Spain’s government of failing to act. His comments came after more than 70,000 immigrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta on 31 July, overwhelming the Spanish exclave. Around 5,000 are said to remain. A police report cited this week called the mass crossing “planned” and raised possible links to Moroccan security forces. Rallies have since spread across Spain under the slogan: “Ceuta is not for sale — Ceuta must be defended.”
Pope Francis supported a Spanish bishop in his attempt to gain control over Opus Dei’s famous Torrecuidad shrine and take back a historic image of Our Lady
Neu veröffentlichte handschriftliche Briefe, die „El País“ vorliegen, zeigen, dass der verstorbene Papst Franziskus persönlich in den Streit um Torreciudad mit dem Opus Dei eingegriffen und die Situation als „mafiaähnlich“ bezeichnet hat. Die Briefe untermauern die Behauptung des Bischofs, dass Franziskus ihn gegen den Druck in Bezug auf die Wallfahrtsstätte und das Bildnis der „Unsere Liebe Frau von den Engeln“ aus dem 11. Jahrhundert unterstützt habe. Im Juli 2023 sagte er zu Bischof Ángel Pérez Pueyo: „Geben Sie nicht nach!“ Nachdem er im Oktober 2024 einen bevollmächtigten Kommissar ernannt hatte, schrieb Franziskus erneut: „Mit der Ernennung des Dekans der Rota mache ich mein direktes Eingreifen in die Aktivitäten des Opus Dei dort sichtbar. Und indem ich Ihnen eine neue Stelle vorschlage, versuche ich, Sie von all den ‚mafiaähnlichen Intrigen‘ zu befreien, die derzeit im Gange sind. Damit mache ich deutlich, dass mein Eingreifen umfassend ist.“
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce is being prosecuted again. The 48-year-old Catholic faces a new trial in January 2027 after pleading not guilty to interfering with an abortion clinic. Prosecutors say she stood inside a 150-metre buffer zone outside a Birmingham clinic on five occasions in 2025. Vaughan-Spruce replies she approached no one and simply prayed silently in her head. She was arrested over silent prayer in 2022 and 2023 and received a £13,000 police settlement in 2024. “Wherever we are permitted to be, our thoughts inevitably go with us,” she says. “Those thoughts should not be subject to censorship.” The new case is being brought under England’s national buffer-zone law.

PLACE YOUR COMMENTS IF YOU'D LIKE. 2027 UPCOMING MOVIE PART 1 VIRTUES VS THE SINS - THESE CLIPS POSTED ON SEP 4, 2026 ABOUT THE MOVIE: Virtues Against Sins: This film is being produced gradually under the supervision of the Church. It will consist of three parts. The first part presents catechesis on the virtues that counter sins, based on the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church and the Doctors of the Church. Just as our Lord Jesus spoke in parables and used elements of nature and everyday life things and people. This movie will use elements of nature, humanoid (human like) monsters to represent the sins, and critters and insects to represent temptations. The first part will be composed of fantastical elements to describe how virtues oppose the sins within the soul, not outside but inside, the internal battle for holiness. The second part features real-life anecdotes addressing various life situations, as well as the crisis of faith within the Church. The third part will include mystical …Ibindi
