Bishop Richard Williamson ( January 2025) allegedly confirmed to Sean Johnson that he had conditionally consecrated a Archbishop Carlo Viganò, 85, a bishop in 2023. Johnson published a 2023 email from Williamson on Seraphim54.substack.com on June 19. Johnson is a former seminarian of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) and father of nine children who now attends Mass at the US-based Congregation of Saint Pius V (CSPV), a traditionalist splinter group from the FSSPX. Johnson's publication is consistent with information previously received by Gloria.tv from independent ecclesiastical sources. Viganò was consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II in 1992. Since 2023, a persistent rumour about the conditional [second] consecration of Viganò has circulated. Johnson’s article claims that he emailed Viganò twice in November and December 2023 asking about those rumours but didn’t receive a reply. Then, Johnson contacted Williamson. The central statement attributed to Bishop …Zaidi

The Argentine Bishops' Conference issued a tribute to the abortion activist Taty Almeida, 95, following her death on June 14. In a June 15 statement signed by Archbishop Marcelo Colombo, president of the conference, and Bishop Raúl Pizarro, secretary general, the bishops sarcastically praised Almeida's "historic commitment to human rights". They even “thanked God for sustaining her courage”. Almeida was one of Argentina's best-known “human-rights” activists. She was a longtime member of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo movement about people who disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship. The bishops' statement ignored her support for abortion. Almeida publicly supported Argentina's abortion movement. She frequently appeared wearing the green scarf that became the symbol of the campaign for legal abortion and backed the effort that led to abortion legalization in 2020. Almeida was closely associated with sectors of the Argentine caviar left and often appeared alongside progressive …Zaidi
Papa anakufa, Maisha Marefu kwa Papa! Katika hali ya kutokuwa na uhakika na huzuni, mwangaza wa mwisho wa maisha ya papa mmoja unaashiria uwasili wa haraka wa mwingine – kama alivyokumbuka Mtakatifu Yohani Paulo II katika nyakati zake za mwisho. Papa Bergoglio, ambaye amewekwa chini ya utawala unaoongozwa na kardinali wenye utata – baadhi yao kujitajia “antipapa” (Kardinali Martini) na wengine ambao wamekubali kuwa walikuwa wa kundi linalojulikana kama “mafya takatifu”, yaani Kikundi cha Sankt Gallen (Kardinali Danneels) – amekumbwa na hali mbaya kiasi kwamba uvumi kuhusu uwezekano wa kuaga kwake duniani umeanza kusambaa. Wakati huo huo, Idara ya Mawasiliano ya Vatikani inaendelea kutoa taarifa zisizo kamili na zilizo na upendeleo. Je, lengo ni lipi? Labda ni kuwafanya waumini wabaki katika hali ya kutokuelewa, kulinda maslahi ya ndani, au tu kuhifadhi uhuru wa kuchukua hatua mbele ya uwezekano wa kuondoka kwa Bergoglio, labda kupitia kukatishwa kwa madarakani au kwa sababu ya …Zaidi
The Diocese of Arlington, in Northern Virginia, has announced the creation of a new apostolate entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), Bishop Michael Burbidge announced on June 19. Father Jonathan Romanoski FSSP and Father John Audino FSSP have been appointed to the Chaplaincy. Following the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, the Diocese of Arlington experienced a unprecedented eradication of Masses in the Roman rite. With 21 locations, Arlington Diocese was one of the strongest for the Roman Rite in the United States. In 2022, the Diocese of Arlington reduced the number of "permitted" Mass locations from 21 to 8. Of those eight locations, only three - Saint Rita in Alexandria, Saint John the Beloved in McLean, and Saint Anthony of Padua Mission in Falls Church - received Vatican permission to continue Masses in parish churches. The remaining five communities were relocated to non-parish churches. #newsYopiywpnrj
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq: The historic Mar Kiriakos Chaldean Catholic Church in the village of Sharanish, near Zakho in northern Iraq, was recently vandalized. Videos released in mid-June 2026 show damage inside the church. Mar Kiriakos, believed to be more than 400 years old, is one of two historic Chaldean Catholic churches in Sharanish. No perpetrators have yet been publicly identified.
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq | Shalom World News An ancient witness of Chaldean Christian faith in Iraq has been desecrated in Sharanish, a historic Christian village near Zakho, close to the Iraq–Turkey border. Video from inside Mar Kiriakos Church shows extensive vandalism, with sacred spaces damaged and church property destroyed. The incident has left the local community mourning the incident, which is another blow to a village that has endured years of instability and displacement. Sharanish, home to the Chaldean churches of Mart Shmune and Mar Kiriakos, remains a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Mesopotamia. As investigations continue, the faithful hold on to a message carried through centuries: a wounded church can still be a living testimony of faith.
Churches in communion with Rome Who are the Christians of Iraq? A long history … After periods of Mongol, Turkoman, and Safavid rule, Mesopotamia fell under the Ottomans, whose empire lasted until the First World War in the early 20th century. It was during the Ottoman period that the East and West Syriac Churches – the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syriac (or Syrian) Catholic Church, respectively – were formed. The Syriac Catholic Church was created when a Jacobite patriarch united with Rome in the 18th century. The Bishops who did not enter into full communion with Rome formed the Syriac Orthodox Church. Today’s Chaldean Catholic Church dates from 1830, when the historical patriarchate of the Church of the East was united with an earlier Chaldean branch created in the 17th century. An even-earlier Chaldean union from the 16th century subsequently separated from Rome and developed into what are today the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East.

Maadui wa Kanisa wanafurahia "Mashambulizi kali yaliyomo" dhidi ya mamlaka takatifu ya Kanisa kutoka ndani yake na "hata katika kichwa chake", Kadinali Raymond Burke aliambia umati mjini Bratislava, Slovakia (Aprili 27). Akizungumza katika sherehe ya Bratislavské Hanusove Dni kuhusu ndoa na familia, alisema kwamba maadui wa Kanisa huwa hawakiri furaha yao hadharani ili watu wenye akili njema [wajinga] wasigundue kinachofanyika "hadi wakati ambapo uharibifu utakapokamilika." Hivyo basi, Burke aliwahimiza Wakatoliki "kuendelea" kuulinda ukweli, "Hakuwezi kuwa na nafasi ya kimya na mtazamo wa kushindwa." Alisema kwamba "utata na makosa" kuhusiana na ndoa ya Kikatoliki ziliibuliwa kwa mara ya kwanza na Kadinali Kasper. Hili "lilidhihirika machoni mwa ulimwengu wakati wa Sinodi la kwanza la Maaskofu mnamo mwaka wa 2014." Burke alidhibitisha kwamba kuwapa wazini Ekaristi "kunahitilafiana na mafundisho dhabiti na vitendo vya Kanisa kuhusiana na ndoa takatifu". Picha: Raymond Burke, #…Zaidi
19.06.2026 FELLAY AND GALARATTA WILL BE EXCOMMUNICATED A SECOND TIME WITH LG 16 VISIBLE: WITH LG 16 INVISIBLE FERNANDEZ IS IN SCHISM. NO CORRECTION YET FROM THE SSPX. You make a mistake once. You do not repeat it again after being informed.The SSPX bishops Fellay and Galaretta were excommunicated with Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally i.e. with Lumen Gentium 16, allegedly physically visible and not invisible. So there were explicit exceptions for Tradition (EENS, Athanasius Creed, ecumenism of return of the Syllabus, traditional ecclesiocentric mission etc). Cardinal Ratzinger chose LG 16 visible. So Tradition was made obsolete and the SSPX bishops excommunicated. The same two bishops are now going to be excommunicated with Vatican Council II irrational, with LG 16 visible and not invisible. LG 8, 14, 16 refer to physically visible non Catholics saved outside the Church without faith and baptism, in the present times for Pope Leo. The SSPX bishops did not protest the …Zaidi
Kwa wepesi usio na kifani, Maaskofu wa Marekani alimfuta kazi Padre Thomas Weinandy kama kasisi mshauri baada yake kukubali mwaliko wa Francis wa “kuzungumza bila woga”. Taasisi ya Lepanto ilisema kuwa Maaskofu hao hawakumfuta kazi Jessica Garrels, mratibu wa ubora wa programu ya Huduma za Msaada za Kikatoliki. Garrels ni muunga mkono ajulikanaye wa mtandai wa uavyaji mimba wa Planned Parenthood. Kashfa hii inajulikana tangu mwezi Novemba mwaka wa 2015. #newsZwmiomvcko
Time to blame Israel. VANCE: “We were right on the cusp of a major breakthrough… and then there’s a big explosion in a civilian area in Beirut, killing people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah. That’s not acceptable.”

Two videos on Fatima and Russia with John Vennari and Father Gruner. -------- I have left some things below which is important as well as the video's. They go hand in hand. Please read it. Many Catholics have learned a lot about Russia and Putin. We followed their laws and watched and heard many things President Putin said and did. This is why many live or moving to Russia. Mainly those from the SSPX. Not only to escape persecution but because Russia is the only country in the world that fights against all evils trying to destroy the world. In one of the videos Father Gruner says something I have tried to explain. Especially to one person more than once. ------- Our Lady is paving the way for The Consecration! She is preparing her by and with President Putin who brought the faith back to the people. Leading them bravely against the evils of the West and US. ------- President Putin while he is President will never allow his country to be taken over by any evil of communism, socialism, …Zaidi
Pope Leo's popularity with Republican Catholics plummets after his bitter feuds with Trump The shepherd is gathering his flock around him-- not. Prevost is showing more and more his inability to understand the 4 Gospels. Pretty soon no one will pay him any attention except the Vatican debt collectors. It is embarrassing to have anything to do with this synosalist. What do our Jewish brethren think of all this? What is the meaning of this phrase--"Women of Jerusalem, weep not for Me but for yourselves and your children." (Luke 23:28) Has Prevost set forth exact;y to whom our Savior is referring? And how long must the weeling go on?
