23rd Sunday – OT – A - Gospel - Matthew 18:15–20 denicemay Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20. Jesus said to his disciples: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, (amen,) I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
– Folha de S. Paulo, March 26, 1979 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira John Paul II and the Tomorrow That Awaits Us I have waited until now for the official text of John Paul II’s message to the bishops opening the Third CELAM Conference in Puebla, as well as the document approved almost unanimously by the prelates in the final vote days later. Puebla’s Importance With these two key texts in hand—one opening the great meeting and the other closing it — we can make an objective assessment of what Puebla will mean for the future of the Church in Latin America and for the universal Church. Latin America now holds such a position within Catholicism that it significantly shapes the Church’s course worldwide. Finally, Puebla matters for the future of humanity itself, since the Church’s influence — direct or indirect, explicit or implicit — extends to all nations, even those that are not Catholic, and thus profoundly conditions the unfolding of universal history in our century. In passing, a question …More

"Murder in the 33rd Degree: I was there" MINISERIE that will soon be released Rome, 1978. The Vatican lives the year of the three popes. Pope Paul VI entrusts an archbishop with a very delicate mission: to investigate allegations of corruption and Masonic infiltration at the top of the Roman Curia. A young priest, silent witness of all that, kept the secret for almost fifty years. Now, Father Charles Theodore Murr breaks that silence in front of the cameras. He talks about the threats he witnessed, the men of power he met, and the final fate of documents that—according to him—should never see the light of day. His story goes through the death of a Pope, the enigmatic 33 days of pontificate of John Paul I, and the arrival of John Paul II. Murder in the 33rd Degree is a historical investigative documentary series based on Father Murr's testimony and book of the same name — a direct look at one of the most controversial stories of the modern Vatican. The project is presented by Vade Retro …More
23rd Sunday – OT – A - Second Reading - Romans 13:8–10 denicemay Letter to the Romans 13,8-10. Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, (namely) "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
One Priest, One Sacrifice, One Eternal Covenant Jesus is the new covenant and the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, reestablishing the original priesthood. Unlike the Levitical priesthood, Jesus’ priesthood is singular and everlasting, offering his own blood as the ultimate sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. This understanding is crucial for priests and all Catholics, as it highlights the significance of the Mass and the individual’s participation in Christ's sacrifice. Fr.

Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 79, a former Apostolic Nuncio and the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, administered Confirmation to two young Irish Travellers in the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje, reports David Murgia on IlSegnoDiGiona. According to pictures, the women wore inappropriate short white pyjamas. Murgia says the outfits reflect festive dress customary in the Irish Traveller community. He claims to have verified the circumstances through multiple sources and that the photographs are authentic.

Book of Ezekiel 33,7-9. Thus says the LORD: You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked man that he shall surely die, and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked man from his way, he (the wicked man) shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked man, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself. Psalms 95(94),1-2.6-7.8-9. Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him. Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides. Oh, that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the …More
Chris Jackson Sep 05, 2026 Anthony Abbate: Chairman of the Fence A tuxedo, a microphone, a theological crisis, and one very comfortable fence. New Catholic satire song is now live on YouTube. There are men who take a position. There are men who change positions. And then there are men who build a very nice house directly on the fence, install a microphone, order a cocktail, and begin explaining why everybody on either side has gone too far. That brings us to “Chairman of the Fence.” Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I’m Anthony Abbate. I host a show called Avoiding Babylon. Every week I tell you the men running Rome hate Tradition. Then I call you crazy for questioning whether they’re Catholic. Now, let’s all remain calm. [Verse 1] I say Rome persecutes the ancient Mass; The SSPX defends what Rome attacks. I toast Marcel Lefebvre for saying no, And hail the SSPX for doing so. But ask if Rome’s hierarchy has the right to rule, I call you a “sede moron” and a fool. I lay out all the …More
I just went out of arguments in a dispute with a good friend about the actual situation of Saint Peter's Holy See. This singed satire came just in time like a charm!
Today, Leo XIV joked with children at the Vatican’s annual Family Day for employees and their families. “How much is six-seven?” he asked, while making the hand gesture from the viral “6-7” meme. He then answered 13 - turning the deliberately meaningless meme into 6+7. Teenagers followed with another slang: “Papa, can you say ‘aura’?” Leo looked puzzled and repeated: “Aura?” - prompting more laughter. Online, “aura” refers to someone’s coolness, charisma or presence. Young people jokingly give or take away “aura points” depending on what someone does.

Around 100 motorcyclists gathered with their bikes for a an Open Air Eucharist at the Madonna del Lago church in Castel Gandolfo last Sunday. The annual gathering is led by parish priest and motorcyclist Rev. Tadeusz Rozmus, known as “Don Biker.” During the Novus Ordo, prayers were offered for riders, their families and those killed in road accidents. The bikers then rode in procession through Castel Gandolfo to join Leo XIV for the Angelus. The Pope gave them a special greeting, welcoming the motorcyclists attending their “traditional annual gathering.”

Today, Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Georg Gänswein, 70, in an audience, amid renewed speculation that Benedict XVI’s longtime secretary could soon be appointed Apostolic Nuncio to France. It was Gänswein’s third meeting with Leo XIV: the first came during the Pope’s gathering with apostolic nuncios in June 2025, followed by a private audience on December 12, 2025. Monsignor Gänswein serves as Apostolic Nuncio to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Pope Francis appointed him to the diplomatic post in June 2024, ending roughly a year in Freiburg without an official assignment following the death of Benedict XVI. In recent months, Vatican observers have speculated that Gänswein could be transferred to the Apostolic Nunciature in Paris. Asked about the possibility at a public appearance in Ravensburg in July, Gänswein declined to confirm the speculation. #newsYgnllwgzqu
