The Encylclical’s Section Inventing Lay Governance: In a May 25 video, Raymond Arroyo flagged Paragraph 87 of Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas because it calls for "the participation of the baptized in decision-making processes" within the Church. Fr. Gerald Murray responded that the language comes directly from the Synod’s final document: "This is lay governance in the Church. This is this new theory that the power to govern in the Church is derived from the sacrament of baptism, not from the sacrament of holy orders. This has no place in a document about social justice and AI. This is just a further lobbying effort to try and convince people that the way the Church has been run from the beginning — which is that the apostles and their successors are the shepherds who take care of the flock — that that’s being discarded. It’s regrettable to say the least."
Buried in the Pope’s new Encyclical on A.I. are some things you might have missed, like a section on the governance of the Church- by lay people.
Retired Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 81, told SettimanaNews.it (May 21) that Pope Francis “felt the need to adapt doctrine to new times” regarding Humanae Vitae (1968). Francis had asked the pro-homosexual Archbishop to prepare the “necessary updates.” Monsignor Paglia wrote a text with a group of theologians, and Francis “appreciated it greatly”. The issues under discussion included homosexuality, marriage, “irregular” (sinful) situations, and Communion for the divorced and remarried. Throughout the interview, Paglia portrays Catholic moral theology - including the concept of “non-negotiable values” - as “moralistic,” based on “abstract principles,” “desk theology,” and detached from "real human experience". "Immutable vision of natural law" overturned Furthermore, Archbishop Paglia stated that the 2016 “reform” of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family involved “rethinking the concept of ‘nature’.” According to Paglia, the previous approach had rested …Okuninzi
Blessed Margaret Pole - May 28 shalom-peace. Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury (14 August 1473 – 27 May 1541), was an English peeress. She was the daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, the brother of kings Edward IV and Richard III. Margaret was one of two women in 16th century England to be a peeress in her own right with no titled husband.[2] One of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the Wars of the Roses, she was executed in 1541 at the command of Henry VIII, who was the son of her first cousin Elizabeth of York. Pope Leo XIII beatified her as a martyr for the Catholic Church on 29 December 1886.
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller spoke to kath.net on May 26 about the episcopal consecrations on July 1 by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. Main quotes.. No sympathy for the FSSPX “They understand themselves as an emergency community that will remain at a distance until the millions of Catholics who have fallen into Modernism, thousands of bishops and priests, and the current Pope return to the Church which the Society of St. Pius X preserves as the holy remnant of the one true Catholic Church.” Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? “From a purely human and theological perspective, it cannot be the case that the two thousand bishops and all the popes who have gathered at the Council have been mistaken on dogmatic issues or have deviated from the apostolic tradition, with the exception of a single bishop who, through illegal episcopal ordinations alone, ensures the Church’s continued existence” No one has a right to become a bishop “Nobody has a claim to episcopal …Okuninzi
Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? Cardinal Mueller errors in considering the entire Church to be represented by a few thousand Bishops in 1960. The entire Church consists of the Church militant, suffering and triumphant. It consists of all the faithful members over 2000 years.

Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.

Just stop sending these "Priests" money. You must bankrupt the whole "Catholic:" church toe end this filth. That's all this is-- is filth. How many young boys were penetrated just to satisfy the satanic desires of so called ordained Priests of Christ? Totally disgusting. Yet there are rectories still open receiving tithes.

There is something seriously wrong and no one is revealing the truth. YET! I can't see how anyone would think he is in great shape mentally or physically. Not only signs he is not well but his anger has gotten out of control. And falling asleep more than once. They are not telling us the truth. But that's no surprise. The administration tried to say his hands had marks from shaking hands too much. But both hands had marks on them. There will be ads so just keep scrolling down.

On Tuesday, Leo XIV visited Castel Gandolfo, where Ferrari chairman John Elkann presented the new Ferrari Luce, the company’s first fully electric vehicle and first five-seat model. Before getting in the vehicle, Leo XIV asked: "Is this the first ever four-door Ferrari?" Leo XIV sat in the vehicle for a presentation. The same day, former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo criticized the Luce sharply: "We risk the destruction of a legend." And: "At least the Chinese won’t copy this car."
