Pope Gregory VII on Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons Guilty of Fornication: “As for priests, deacons, and subdeacons guilty of the crime of fornication, let them know that the apostolic authority of the Church forbids them to remain in their orders. They must be removed from the ministry and, if possible, be sent away from the Church altogether. Let no one excuse them on the grounds of ignorance or weakness, for the Church’s discipline is clear: those who commit such sins are not only to be shamed but also to be corrected by the most severe measures, so that the purity of the clergy may be preserved and the people may be protected from the contagion of such vices” ww1.thelatinlibrary.com.

Vatican Press Director Under Fire Over Workplace Relationship: SilereNonPossum.com reports that Vatican Press Office Director Matteo Bruni allegedly has a relationship with an employee that “isn’t very clear”. However, one staff member added: “Actually, it’s very clear.” Sources provided chats, videos, and images allegedly showing Bruni with employee Chiara Armenti, including photos of them having drinks and dinner together outside working hours in Rome.

Abortion has dropped a great deal but only because the population figures are so bad . The government reversal on abortion is not for moral reasons. Russia is still a communist country and the orthodox are merely an arm of the party. The BVM loves Russia and the country was founded on her birthday. I am Russian through my mother whose family land was confiscated by Stalin. After being taken by the Germans as slave labor and leaving Russia she was under death penalty if she had returned. I love Russia but although things are different now they are not really better.In the end Russia will be converted , pray your rosary.

The Transalpine Redemptorist community has proclaimed itself sedevacantist. In a letter dated 2 May, they wrote: "The pre-Vatican II popes condemned indifferentism as a deadly heresy.

There is a very good argument that they were and are bad popes but popes they are. The idea that if a pope is bad he is no longer pope is really very silly.
There is a very good argument to be made that Leo is not the pope. He sure doesn't act like it or teach like it. One day, Holy Mother the Church will make a determination

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 14,21-26. Jesus said to his disciples: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, "Master, (then) what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me. I have told you this while I am with you. The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name--he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you." angelyelina
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 14,21-26. In jener Zeit sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Wer meine Gebote hat und sie hält, der ist es, der mich liebt; wer mich aber liebt, wird von meinem Vater geliebt werden und auch ich werde ihn lieben und mich ihm offenbaren. Judas – nicht der Iskariot – fragte ihn: Herr, wie kommt es, dass du dich nur uns offenbaren willst und nicht der Welt? Jesus antwortete ihm: Wenn jemand mich liebt, wird er mein Wort halten; mein Vater wird ihn lieben und wir werden zu ihm kommen und bei ihm Wohnung nehmen. Wer mich nicht liebt, hält meine Worte nicht. Und das Wort, das ihr hört, stammt nicht von mir, sondern vom Vater, der mich gesandt hat. Das habe ich zu euch gesagt, während ich noch bei euch bin. Der Beistand aber, der Heilige Geist, den der Vater in meinem Namen senden wird, der wird euch alles lehren und euch an alles erinnern, was ich euch gesagt habe.
"My research began in 2022 with an investigation into Russian intelligence active measures targeting the American right. This focus quickly expanded into multiple additional lines of research. The first examined the continuity of Soviet-era intelligence operations into post-Soviet Russia and the activities of prominent former Communists and KGB officers in the post-Soviet era. From there, I began researching domestic communist and radical leftist groups and their ties to foreign governments.

"Answer to the fifth question. ”As to why I permit myself to be blasphemed, I answer: It is written that when King David was avoiding his son's persecution, a certain man cursed him along the way. When his servants wanted to kill the man, David forbade them for two reasons: first, because he had a hope of returning; second, because he was mindful of his own weakness and sin and of the ignorance of him who had cursed him as well as of the patience and goodness of God. I am David, figuratively speaking."
[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] Revelation 6 ~ The sixth revelation in the Book of Questions in which Christ speaks to his bride, blessed Bridget, and instructs her, saying that in the spiritual life peace of mind and eternal glory are won through vigorous struggle and perseverance and humble acquiescence in the advice of an elder and by bravely resisting temptations. He offers the example of Jacob who became a servant in order to win Rachel. He says that some people experience the greatest temptations at the beginning of a conversion to the spiritual life, others in the middle or toward the end. It is therefore necessary to have a holy fear and humble perseverance in the virtues and in the struggle until the very end. The Son speaks: ”It is written that Jacob became a servant for the sake of Rachel, and the days seemed short to him due to his great love, for the greatness of his love …Engeta
"Therefore, my daughter, do not be surprised if temptations accrue in your old age. While you still live, you can be tempted, because the devil never sleeps and because temptation is an opportunity for perfection and keeps you from presumption. Look, I show you the example of two men. One was tempted at the beginning of his conversion but he persevered and went ahead and attained what he sought. The other experienced grave temptations in his old age that he scarcely had known in his youth. He became so entangled in these that he almost forgot everything he had known before. However, he persevered in his resolution and kept on struggling, despite feeling cold and lukewarm. Because of that, he gained his desire and peace of mind, realizing that God's judgments are hidden and just, and that, if it had not been for those temptations, he would hardly have gained eternal salvation.”
