The encyclical Magnifica Humanitas is internally inconsistent in its treatment of just war theory. That writes Manfred Spieker, emeritus professor of Christian Social Sciences, on Herder.de on June 16. While he generally praises Leo XIV’s reflections on artificial intelligence, he challenges the encyclical’s call to “overcome” the traditional doctrine of just war. Magnifica Humanitas, drawing on Fratelli Tutti, offers two reasons for moving beyond just war theory: first, that nearly every war in recent decades has been presented as justified, and second, that modern weapons make war an unacceptable solution. Spieker finds neither argument convincing. Regarding the first, he writes: “If everyone who wages a war appeals to this doctrine, it remains necessary to examine who is justified in doing so and who is not.” He adds: “Those who falsely invoke this doctrine will face criticism or rejection. But that does not make the doctrine of just war obsolete.” Nor do modern weapons invalidate …ད་རུང་།
Worse than Germany: Argentine Priest Celebrates World Cup at Eucharist: On June 15, parish priest Carlos Costale of Río Cuarto, Argentina, posted a video showing World Cup fan props used during an Eucharist celebration. One of the props was a paper bus labeled “La Scaloneta,” the popular nickname for Argentina’s national football team under Lionel Scaloni.

Me parece que tienen razón los que opinan que el Novus Ordo, al ponerlos de frente al los fieles y en el centro, convierte a los curas en showman. Esto pasó en la parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Merced, en la diócesis de Río Cuarto, Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. El cura se llama Carlos Costale.

Why This Matters to Faithful Catholics Compromised elections with hidden voter surveillance through electronic poll books, ballot devices, and traceable codes threaten the rule of law. They enable fraud that leads to unjust laws on life, family, education, and religious liberty, harming the Church and the common good. Catholics must demand paper ballots and real audits.
Rorate-Caeli.blogspot.com published on June 16 a report about a recent pilgrimage in Italy with a priest of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). - This group was denied the celebration of Mass at the Shrine of San Giovanni Rotondo (Padre Pio) and instead celebrated Mass in a hotel basement. - At the Basilica in Assisi, they were also denied permission to celebrate Mass in Latin, and they noted that an Orthodox Divine Liturgy was taking place at the same time. - At Loreto, the group was initially denied permission to celebrate Mass, but the priest was finally able to convince the local authorities. However, in Loreto, there was a station for 'Dialogue and Listening' (pictured). Rather than a priest, a nun was 'listening' without a veil and wearing some kind of Roman collar. #newsWfzjowokcn
Lesbian Teacher Made Female Students Kiss Each Other: The Denver Public Schools board, Colorado, has unanimously voted to fire lesbian teacher Jennifer Honka. An investigation had found that she had required female students to take part in classroom skits involving same-sex kissing.

ScoopWhoop A report by Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe estimates up to 250,000 girls may have been targeted by organised grooming gangs across England over several decades. Offenders in several high-profile cases were predominantly Pakistani Muslim men. The abuse, documented in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford, involved vulnerable girls aged 10 to 19 being groomed with gifts, alcohol, and false affection before being subjected to rape, trafficking, and violence. Baroness Casey's 2025 audit confirmed serious institutional failure, finding authorities repeatedly failed victims while some officials suppressed ethnicity data out of fear of being accused of racism. PM Keir Starmer has since announced a full national statutory inquiry, with the NCA reviewing over 1,200 previously closed cases. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1511211537706087&set=a.6…

Leo XIV Against Remigration of Migrants: Asked about “remigration” of immigrants, Pope Leo XIV replied on Tuesday in Castel Gandolfo: “Simply saying, ‘We send them away, and then the problem is off our hands,’ does not seem to me to be the most Christian response.” He said migrants should be respected as persons, their reasons for leaving considered, and their cases examined individually.
Sulla questione remigrazione, esorta a trattare “con rispetto ogni persona”: “Dire mandiamo via, così ci laviamo le mani, non mi sembra una risposta cristiana”.

After Hitler was appointed Chancellor, the Nazi’s murdered the Catholic branch of the Nazi party (Gregor Strasser, Priests, others) known as the night of long knives. Strasser wanted to peacefully shut down usury in Germany without war. This always made me suspect infiltration.
