Women Heading Vatican Dicasteries Marks “Spirit-Led” Ecclesial Development - Cardinal Ouellet

The appointment of laypeople to positions of authority in the Roman Curia is not a temporary concession, BUT an ecclesiological advance and a "Spirit-led development", “conservative” Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for Bishops, wrote on VaticanNews.va (February 16).
Cardinal Ouellet acknowledges the “unease about a papal decision” given that nuns are now in positions reserved to bishops as there is a “close link between the ordained ministry and the function of governing the Church”.
BUT: He has “no doubt” that Pope Francis’ gesture is promising for the future: “It marks the beginning of recognition of the authority of charisms by hierarchical authority.”
Cardinal Ouellet's article devotes a significant amount of words to elaborating on the Holy Spirit’s role beyond sacramental ordination, as if this were not well-known before Francis' novelties.
Key phrase: "When the Pope appoints a woman to head a Dicastery, he is not delegating his jurisdiction to …More

Apple buys Israeli ‘pre-speech’ tech firm implicated in Gaza genocide

This article was originally published by ¡Do Not Panic!
Tech giant Apple has quietly paid nearly $2 billion for a “pre-speech” tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza.
In the second-biggest deal in its history, Apple paid this money for a company that doesn’t have a product, doesn’t have any revenues and whose website is a single page containing 15 words.
The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors which map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before they’re spoken. They call it “silent speech,” or “pre-speech” — and it appears to be exactly as sinister as it sounds.
Q.ai was founded by Aviad Maizels, Avi Barliya and Yonatan Wexler, all of whom honed their skills by testing technologies of apartheid on Palestinians. Maizels is a former commander of Unit 81, the IDF division which builds Israel’s offensive cyber weapons. Barliya, according to his LinkedIn, was an intelligence officer in the Israeli air …

Professor Frances Widdowson, whose academic work focuses on Indigenous and Canadian public policy, has encountered repeated opposition from Canadian universities when trying to talk about residential schools. She disputes false claims about "unmarked graves" in Kamloops. Her university appearances have been disrupted by protests. Some university administrations, including those at Mount Royal University and the University of Lethbridge, have cancelled her events, citing concerns about "community safety" and "potential harm".

The mob silencing of Professor Widdowson at Canadian universities is a total disgrace

Professor Frances Widdowson has peacefully visited a number of Canadian universities trying to debate and dialogue with students and teaching staff about the residential school issue. She maintains the evidence about the government funded schools doesn't support the accepted politically correct narrative that it was an act of cultural genocide. Moreover, the claim made over four years ago about 215 mass graves discovered at one school in Kamploops, British Columbia, has not been backed by any proof. Not one grave has been found. Why are woke universities so afraid of the truth?
Widdowson has a valid point but can't civilly express her views when she is met by mobs at the universities. She has gone to university campuses trying engage in uncovering the facts. Every time she tries to do so, she's shut down.
Widdowson is well qualified to speak on the matter. She held the position of associate professor in the department of economics, justice and policy studies at Mount Royal University …

Standing on the precipice: why the Consecrations are necessary - Pax Orbis

Damian Keller argues that, for the good of the Church, and in obedience to Our Lady’s warnings, the Society of St. Pius X must go ahead with consecrations of new bishops – with or without the permission of Rome.
by Damian Keller
As one who is a volunteer within the SSPX and given the duties of caring for the Society’s priests at a Priory, I know very well the circumstances and why the SSPX is acting out of necessity in these tumultuous times befalling the world. I have also listened CLOSELY to what Our Lord and Blessed Mother have had to say in the past as well as other prophesies by the Saints and Blesseds concerning what is swiftly approaching.
Malachi Martin, who read the Third Secret, and advised to “keep your eyes on the sky”. had also foretold of what would happen to the hierarchy. I’m watching the sky and I don’t like what the sun has been doing in response to what is being done to the Church. The Miracle of The Sun was also a warning.

Archbishop Lefebvre 1976 Interview- The "CONCILIAR NEW CHURCH" and **Impossible Reconciliation with Schismatic Vatican II Council**

Interview with Archbishop Lefebvre in Écône, of August 2nd, 1976 and published in the French magazine Le Figaro, August 4, 1976. It is important for us to read this text again.

Le Figaro: "After the suspension 'a divinis' which struck him (in 1976), Archbishop Lefebvre by no means considers to submit. He does not believe in the possibility of a reconciliation with Rome and risks the pronouncement of an excommunication against him and his disciples."

"Your Excellency, are you not bordering on schism?"
---
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre: "That is the question that many Catholics ask after reading of the latest sanctions taken by Rome against us! Catholics, for the most part, define or imagine schism as a rupture with the Pope. They do not go any further in their investigation. You have ruptured with the Pope or the Pope has ruptured with you, therefore you are going into schism. …More

Dear@Lazarus,

It seems to be as it has always been which is the standard operating procedure for satan and his minions to introduce what is evil in salvation history which at the beginning seems not so evil at first; but then as time progresses, to build evil upon more and more evil until the minds of the people/souls are sufficiently seduced and deceived; and then at the ripest time, their prey will become fully de-sensitized, confused, and brainwashed souls who can be utterly overcome.

Briefly noted is the recognizable plan of satan which was and is being carried by his accomplices out on behalf of satan and on behalf of his servants for themselves :

The synthesis of heresies of Modernism gave way to Vatican 2, then to the "conciliar church", then to the power controlled communist infiltration by the pedos, the multi and various perversions and destruction, and then to our present times "synodal church" crises of usurpers who claim to be the Catholic Church and seem to have …More

Note that the build up to Second Vatican Council was supported by the Melkites in the spirit for the reunification of the apostolic churches while maintaining the leading role of the Vicar of Christ in moral, non administrative (see Canon 6 of the Council of Nicaea) matters. That was their hope. Their intent was never to give homosexuals, atheists, free masons, Jews, and even protestants a conciliatory status.

Password-Protected “Pastoral Vision” - A Diocese-Wide Ego-Show?

Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, USA, ordered every priest to play a password-protected video on a screen during the homily in all Sunday Masses. The nearly ten-minute presentation outlined what he calls his “pastoral vision” for Western North Carolina.
Priests were unable to preview the video until receiving the password at noon on Saturday - a precaution that drew questions across the diocese.
The video was filmed at St. Peter’s parish, run by the Jesuits. It is considered one of the most liberal churches in the diocese and reportedly held homosexual-themed events some 25 years ago.
Football Talk
The video lays out a refrain the bishop repeats: “Everyone so loves Jesus, we share him with others.”
The bishop acknowledges the reality that “two thirds of U.S. Catholics don’t regularly practice their faith,” arguing that the Church must move beyond producing “believers” to forming disciples:
“The difference between being a believer and being a disciple is the difference between …More

From July 2025: Conservative Bishop Charles Morerod of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg wants a national digital celebret system for priests in Switzerland. He is president of the Swiss Bishops' Conference.
He is following a model that has already been established in France in 2023. Updated annually, the system allows parishes to verify whether a priest from another diocese is authorised to perform sacraments, and if there are any restrictions on his ministry.
In an interview with RTS, Bishop Morerod said that he would like to adapt the French model for use in Switzerland.
Under the proposed system, priests would be given an identity card containing a QR code. Parishes could scan the code to check the priest's faculties and any concerns or past sanctions.
Bishop Morerod noted that a similar system has already been implemented in his own diocese. However, he acknowledged that not all members of the Swiss Bishops’ Conference are convinced, particularly in German-speaking Switzerland, where …More

L'idée d'un registre numérique pour surveiller les prêtres est à l'étude

Le président de la Conférence des évêques suisses Charles Morerod n'est pas opposé à un registre national pour le clergé. "Chaque paroisse pourra ainsi vérifier par smartphone s'il y a des reproches ou des restrictions", estime l'évêque de Lausanne, Genève et Fribourg.
L'idée d'un registre numérique pour surveiller les prêtres est étudiée dans son diocèse de Lausanne, Genève et Fribourg, a déclaré Monseigneur Morerod dans une interview publiée jeudi dans la
Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
L'évêque a pris la France en modèle, relevant qu'un système numérique y existait déjà. Les prêtres recevraient une carte d'identité munie d'un code QR.
"Il s’agit d’éviter que des gens déjà connus pour des problèmes passent entre les gouttes ", souligne-t-il jeudi dans l'émission Forum de la RTS. L’idée est de permettre aux paroisses de vérifier rapidement si un prêtre est habilité à exercer ou non. Une lumière verte ou rouge s’affiche lors du scan du QR code, qui permet un accès immédiat …

"As the devil is king of hell, he is also judge. When a soul comes into hell, condemned by the judgment of God, he executes the judgment. He fixes whereabouts in hell the soul is to be, how it is to be tormented, and what devils are to torment it. In a moment you will see his judgment on a soul."

‘The Sight of Hell’ by Rev. John Furniss, C.S.S.R.; 1882; Chapter XIII-XVII; Pages 7-9

“XIII ~ What the Devil does in Hell ~ Temptation.
Job. xli. He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
As the devil is king of hell, he does two things. First, he gives his orders to the other devils about tempting people in the world. Without his leave, no one in hell can stir hand or foot. Millions and millions of devils are always round him, waiting for his orders. Every day he sends wicked spirits, whose numbers cannot be counted, into Europe, Asia, Africa, America, into every country, and town, and village, and house, and to every human creature. He sends them for temptation and the ruin of souls. He tells each devil whom he must tempt, what he must do, and when he must come back. St. Francis saw that when these devils came back, if they had not made people commit sin, they were cruelly beaten. When a child is tempted, how little it thinks that the temptation has been got ready in hell, that there is a devil at its side who has brought the temptation …More

Excommunication – unlikely heres why

Excommunication – unlikely here's why
It is my thought that the Vatican will be greatly upset at the SSPX and verbally assault that group. However, after great consideration they will not excommunicate them.
In doing so, they will impede their hidden objective of having female priests.
The overt spoken objection of German female priests is merely just a facade.
Just like when the Greek Archbishop of America made headlines of being the first to Bless and perform a Homosexual baptism, so too will the Vatican look the other way when the Germans ordain a group of female priests equaling in number to the SSPX Bishops.
Patriarch Bartholomew publicly objected, but did not put an end to that action. So too will be the Vatican action in this matter.
Quietly it appears that they support female priests, just like the Protestant brothers. This is verified with the many pictures of the Catholic Clergy standing side by side of the Protestant female Clergy.
This SSPX action is just what the doctor …More

Family Day in Ontario and the importance of family

Today is Family Day in Ontario. Since 2008, it's been a statutory holiday to provide a long weekend for workers in February. Most families will take the time to do recreational things, watch television and pay video games. However, as Catholics it's a great opportunity for parents spend the extra free time directly with their children. Good enough families are the building blocks of society and the common good. The vocation of marriage and family calls parents to live their baptismal promises. They have the responsibility to create a family centred on Christ.
Here's a good article about The Importance of Family from the Catholic Education Resources Center. Parents why not read it as a reminder of the central and irreplaceable role mothers and fathers play in shaping the moral character of their children. So, intentionally spend the day together as a family. Parents know that secular governments and even Catholic schools can't do this vital work for them. The abundant good fruits of …
