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 …Zaidi
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. The parish priest is already known for his theatrical liturgical experiments, including mixing a fruit salad during a Pentecost Eucharist.
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.

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
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
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

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”.

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. She also repeatedly shared personal details about her private life, including discussions of suicide and childhood abuse. An independent review concluded that her conduct demonstrated poor judgement, caused students discomfort, and offered little educational value. The board dismissed her for incompetence and neglect of duty.

Muziki ni muhimu katika litajia na hivyo basi ni lazima uchukuliwa kwa umakinifu fulani. Wastaarabu wa zamani, haswa Wagriki, walielewa nguvu za muziki, na sayansi ya ubongo imethibitisha: muziki una athari ya kina juu ya hisia zetu na jinsi tuyaonavyo mambo. Lakini kinachoweza kuwa njiz kuu ya maombi na uhubiri kinaweza kubdilika na kuwa silaha hatari. Kwa bahati mbaya, muziki wa sasa wa Litajia hutumika kwa mara nyingi kuwapendeza wanadunia, wala sio roho. Uovu wa muziki wa kilitajia ni janga la nyakati zetu , sio tu kwa Wakatoliki tu lakini pia kwa utamaduni pia. Iwapo muziki wa Kanisa utawapendeza wanadunia na kutotuinua juu ya kilicho cha kawaida tena, basi umefeli wajibu wake. Huwa tunaitawala dunia au sdunia itutawale. Muziki wa litajia ni silaha yenye nguvu, dhidi ya dunia au dhidi ya Kanisa. Aurelio Porfiri ni mtunzi , mwongozaji, mwalimu na mwandishi.

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.
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”.

Cardinal Camillo Ruini, an influential churchmen in Italy, died in Rome on the evening of June 16 at age 95. He had been hospitalized last September with kidney problems and, after an initial recovery, saw his condition worsen in recent weeks. He chose to remain at home under medical care. Born in Sassuolo, in the province of Modena, Ruini was ordained a priest in 1954. He became auxiliary bishop of Reggio Emilia-Guastalla in 1983 and secretary-general of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI) in 1986. In 1991, Pope St. John Paul II appointed him to lead the Italian Bishops' Conference, named him Vicar General of Rome, and created him a cardinal. He held the Rome vicariate until 2008 and led the bishops’ conference until 2007. He became, for nearly two decades, one of the closest collaborators of both John Paul II and later Benedict XVI. His tenure as bishops’ president coincided with the collapse of the Democrazia Cristiana, the Christian Democratic party that had been the Church's …Zaidi
