Fr. Robert Prevost (Leo XIV) has participated in a Pachamama “Mother Earth” ritual while attending an Augustinian theological symposium in 1995, reports LifeSiteNews.com (March 18). The scandal was uncovered by Fr. Charles Murr. Three Augustinian priests have confirmed to him that Robert Prevost is clearly visible among the kneeling participants in the photo. None of the three were present at the 1995 ritual itself. They recognized their confrere from the published image. The photo appeared in the proceedings of the “Lectura de San Agustín desde América Latina” (São Paulo, January 23-28, 1995), published as the book Ecoteología: Una Perspectiva desde San Agustín (México, 1996). The official caption beneath the photo of kneeling participants reads: “Celebration of the Rite of Pachamama (Mother Earth), which is an agricultural rite offered by the cultures of the South-Andean region in Peru and Bolivia.” More Photos From Same Symposium The same volume includes a large group photograph …barrachd
Leo XIV appointed today two auxiliary bishops in the Archdiocese of Caracas, Venezuela. Monsignor José Manuel León (born 1966 in Barquisimeto) is a Passionist Father, was ordained to the priesthood on 19 March 1994 and is currently a parish priest. Pictured Monsignor José Dionisio Gómez Gouveia (born 1966 in La Guaira) is a diocesan priest of Caracas. He has served in multiple parishes, as a prison chaplain, and in seminary formation. "Beyond Traditions and Rites" Monsignor León's current parish Preciosísima Sangre is in eastern Caracas, near Petare and a slum area. His homilies are published on ParroquiaPreciosisimaSangre.wordpress.com. He uses a Francis-style pastoral tone with the buzzwords mercy, welcome, and fraternity. In a reflection from 8 July 2023, he wrote that Jesus moved beyond a religion sustained “only in traditions,” criticizes a faith reduced to rites, and says it is easy to “wash hands” while failing to extend them “for fraternal embrace.” He also attacks attachment …barrachd
Catholic Men brave fierce wind to honor St. Patrick | Shalom World News On Saint Patrick's Day, a group of devoted Catholic men ascended Slemish Mountain, braving a fierce 110 km/h wind to honor the legacy of Saint Patrick. This rugged mountain holds deep spiritual significance—it was here, according to tradition, that Patrick endured the hardship of slavery as a young man. In isolation and suffering, he turned to God, finding strength and consolation through constant prayer. Year after year, pilgrims return to this sacred place, not deterred by harsh weather but inspired by Patrick’s unwavering faith. Battling the elements, these men mirrored the endurance of the saint himself—standing firm in prayer where he once sought hope in captivity. Their pilgrimage is more than a physical journey; it is a powerful witness to resilience, devotion, and the enduring call to faith even in life’s most difficult storms.
The Apostate Robert Prevost Promotes Unity in Amazonian Paganism: “Inculturation is a difficult but necessary path,” “‘We need to accept courageously the newness of the Spirit, "church in Amazonia must be sign of unity in diversity" The apostate "upheld the importance of inculturating the Gospel in local cultures."
It takes a convert to Catholicism like a Carrie Prejean Boller to have the courage, more like the coglioni, to defend Catholic teaching. Shame on the bishops. The mitre has become just part of the dress code
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) has sent all diocesan bishops in Italy a newly published book explaining the reasons behind its planned episcopal consecrations. The book At the Service of the Church argues that some Church leaders have "adulterated the faith", creating a situation that justifies resistance to authority. In a letter accompanying the book, District Superior Don Gabriele D’Avino describes the initiative as an invitation for bishops to reflect on the crisis in the Church.
Hate to say this sodomy has clouded the minds of the Roman hierarchy on any moral stance . Even SSPX need to purge there own ranks ST Peter Daimon pray for us

Mechanical Lenten Passion of Our Lord Jesus scenes, St Moritz The 'mechanical fasting crib' in the tomb chapel of St. Moritz is a wonderful unique piece. Built in the middle of the 19th century, it was designed by a watchmaker who also developed the driving mechanism. Today, electric energy not only drives the 'Mandl'n', which represent the Passion of Christ, but also the angels rushing by. Werner Kraeutler

Vatican Nuncio brings aid and hope to Southern Lebanon - ShalomWorldNews Amid the lingering shadows of conflict in Lebanon, Archbishop Paolo Borgia, Apostolic Nuncio to the country, traveled to the Christian villages of the south on March 13, carrying both humanitarian aid and a message of solidarity from the universal Church. Before beginning the mission, the archbishop stood in prayer at the funeral of Fr. Pierre El-Rahi, a Maronite priest who lost his life while assisting an injured parishioner—an act of pastoral courage that deeply moved the local faithful. Following the funeral, Archbishop Borgia traveled through communities scarred by war to personally oversee the delivery of humanitarian aid provided by the French Catholic charity L’Œuvre d’Orient. Dressed in his cassock, sash, and zucchetto, the nuncio did not remain a distant observer. Instead, he joined volunteers in unloading boxes of essential supplies, quietly sharing in the relief effort. Images of the Vatican envoy …barrachd
Zionists want southern Lebanon because it is a land that our Lord walked. They have the Holy Land already. They think they can conquer Him this way. They don't understand the Sacramental Presence of our Lord where He is potentially infinitely more present. ( "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29)).
Südlibanon: Vatikan-Botschafter versorgt isolierte Dörfer Während in Beirut die Einschläge wieder näher rücken, ist der Apostolische Nuntius im Libanon, Erzbischof Paolo Borgia, von einer riskanten Mission in den Süden des Landes zurückgekehrt. Mit 15 Tonnen Hilfsgütern im Gepäck besuchte der Diplomat des Papstes sechs teilweise abgeschnittene Dörfer. Sein Bericht zeichnet das Bild einer Region, die systematisch von der Außenwelt isoliert wird, aber dennoch fest auf die Vermittlung des Vatikans hofft.
The Vatican appeals court has declared the trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu invalid, overturning his 2023 conviction and ordering a full retrial to begin June 22. In a 16-page ruling, the court found on Tuesday procedural errors by both prosecutors and Pope Francis. It did not rule on Cardinal Becciu’s guilt or innocence, but concluded the original proceedings were flawed. The indictment was nullified for two main reasons. First, Francis issued four secret decrees granting prosecutors expanded powers, including surveillance. These decrees were never published and were disclosed to the defense only shortly before trial. The court ruled that at least one decree effectively functioned as law and, because it was not made public, was legally invalid. Second, prosecutors were found to have withheld and redacted key evidence, including phone records and messages. The court said this violated the defendants’ right to a fair trial. The ruling is historic, because it raises questions about the …barrachd

The late Cardinal Johannes Joachim Degenhardt (1926–2002), Archbishop of Paderborn, has been portrayed as a perpetrator of child homosexual abuse in many German media outlets, ranging from state television to the tabloid Bild. Some reports have even suggested that he was part of a so-called 'pedocriminal network'. However, the 747-page historical study commissioned by the Archdiocese of Paderborn and published on 12 March shows that these claims are not supported by the study. Where the Allegations Originated The accusations originated from Reinhold Harnisch, the spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Paderborn's "victims' advisory board". Harnisch claimed that Degenhardt had been part of a paedophile ring and that boys were transported between clergy. Study Finds No Evidence of Personal Abuse While the study is highly critical of the church leadership, including Cardinal Degenhardt, it found no evidence of personal abuse. It documents delayed or inadequate responses to allegations, the …barrachd
