Leo XIV has appointed the much-criticized Monsignor Michele Di Tolve as the new Bishop of Chioggia (50 priests, 100'000 Catholics) Italy (September 16). Until now, he was auxiliary bishop of Rome and rector of the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary. Born in Milan in 1963 and ordained a priest in 1989, Di Tolve spent much of his ministry in priestly formation. Seminarian numbers fell sharply during his rectorship in Milan. “He Destroyed the Seminary” In 2023, a priest of the Milan Archdiocesan Curia told SilereNonPossum.com that Di Tolve “destroyed this seminary.” This article portrays Di Tolve as an extremely controlling and short-tempered rector. He had video surveillance cameras installed throughout the seminary, reportedly to monitor seminarians’ movements, including where they went and with whom. In preparation for diaconal and priestly ordination, Di Tolve had seminarians sign a document declaring that they were not homosexual, to absolve himself of responsibility. At the same time, …Lebih
Sebuah salib setinggi 102 meter, yang akan menjadi yang tertinggi kedua di dunia, sedang dibangun di Brasil. Di Cruz Alta, sebuah kota berpenduduk sekitar 60.000 jiwa di Rio Grande do Sul, pembangunan dimulai pada bulan September. Rencananya mencakup salib tersebut, kereta gantung, dan taman hiburan. Proyek ini diperkirakan akan menelan biaya sekitar R$30 juta (sekitar €5 juta), sebagian besar berasal dari dana publik yang dialokasikan melalui amandemen parlemen. Hanya salib setinggi 152 meter di Lembah Para Pahlawan di Spanyol yang akan lebih tinggi. Terjemahan AI
A 102-meter cross, set to become the world's second-highest, is being built in Brazil. In Cruz Alta, a city of about 60,000 in Rio Grande do Sul, construction began in September. Plans include the cross, a cable car and a theme park. The project is expected to cost around R$30 million (roughly €5 million), largely from public funds allocated through parliamentary amendments. Only the 152-meter cross at Spain's Valley of the Fallen would be taller. #newsSvmkxgbogg

Leo XIV telah menunjuk Monsinyur Michele Di Tolve—yang sering mendapat kritik—sebagai Uskup Chioggia yang baru (50 imam, 100.000 umat Katolik) di Italia (16 September). Hingga saat ini, ia menjabat sebagai uskup pembantu Roma dan rektor Seminari Tinggi Kepausan Roma. Lahir di Milan pada tahun 1963 dan ditahbiskan sebagai imam pada tahun 1989, Di Tolve menghabiskan sebagian besar masa pelayanannya dalam pembinaan imamat. Jumlah calon imam menurun drastis selama masa jabatannya sebagai rektor di Milan. “Ia Menghancurkan Seminari” Pada tahun 2023, seorang imam dari Kuria Keuskupan Agung Milan mengatakan kepada SilereNonPossum.com bahwa Di Tolve “menghancurkan seminari ini.” Artikel ini menggambarkan Di Tolve sebagai rektor yang sangat mengontrol dan mudah marah. Dia memasang kamera pengawas di seluruh seminari, kabarnya untuk memantau pergerakan para seminaris, termasuk ke mana mereka pergi dan dengan siapa. Dalam persiapan untuk tahbisan diakon dan imam, Di Tolve meminta para calon imam …Lebih
Worse than Germany: On 13 September, Rev Olivier de Pétiville held a Novus Ordo spectacle at the Sainte-Blandine church in Lyon, France. He has been in this parish since 1 September.

The Russia-tied French billionaires opening UK's first historical theme park – explainer French company Puy du Fou is planning a £600m history-themed park in Oxfordshire. A Guardian investigation has found the company continued working with associates of Konstantin Malofeyev, an under-sanctions pro-Kremlin oligarch, on plans for a theme park in Russian-occupied Crimea for longer than it had previously disclosed and later explored projects in Iran and China. Business reporter Rob Davies explains his findings, including documents that raise questions about whether Puy du Fou’s activities tested the limits of EU sanctions imposed after Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. He also examines the far-right politics associated with Puy du Fou’s founder, Philippe de Villiers, and asks whether the company is a suitable choice to tell Britain’s national story Kremlin connections: the Russia links to a £600m UK theme park ► Kremlin connections: the Russia links to a £600m … The Guardian publishes …Lebih
An anonymous seminarian writing from Lima, Peru, paints a picture of Catholic life that is worse than Germany: seminaries and convents “dramatically empty,” kneelers removed from churches, Communion distributed in the hands, children’s Masses with puppets and dolls, and national Catholic youth gatherings with secular music. He describes priests becoming “community entertainers” and homilies reduced to superficial, lukewarm messages. He criticizes liturgies centered on creativity, community and local culture rather than the sacrifice and adoration. In his account, doctrine is no longer treated as fixed, but as continually open to reinterpretation.
¿EN QUÉ MOMENTO SE JODIÓ LA IGLESIA? Un joven seminarista, que pide permanecer en el anonimato por temor a represalias, comparte un testimonio doloroso sobre la realidad que contempla dentro de la Iglesia: seminarios vacíos, liturgias desacralizadas, homilías superficiales, pérdida del sentido de lo sagrado y una identidad católica cada vez más diluida. No es simplemente el lamento de un joven. Es el grito de quien entregó su vida a Cristo y no quiere encontrar una Iglesia que haya olvidado quién es su Señor. Cuando la Eucaristía deja de ocupar el centro, cuando el altar pierde su carácter sagrado, cuando la liturgia se convierte en espectáculo y cuando todo parece susceptible de ser reinterpretado, la pregunta resulta inevitable: ¿Qué hemos hecho con la Iglesia que recibimos? El artículo de La Abeja plantea una reflexión que ningún católico que ame verdaderamente a la Iglesia debería ignorar. Y, a pesar de todo, queda la esperanza: necesitamos sacerdotes santos, fieles a Cristo, a la …Lebih

Permintaan Emmanuel Macron untuk menemani Leo XIV selama beberapa menit di dalam Katedral Notre-Dame tidak disetujui oleh Tahta Suci, demikian dilaporkan La Croix. Hal ini mencerminkan ketidaksepakatan yang lebih luas terkait kunjungan Paus. Beberapa permintaan dari Istana Élysée ditolak: upacara penyambutan militer akan dikurangi, tanpa melibatkan Garda Republik dan drum-drumnya; Takhta Suci menolak pemberian Bintang Besar Legiun Kehormatan; dan tidak akan ada jamuan makan siang atau makan malam kenegaraan bersama Macron.
LaCroix écrit que « la demande d’Emmanuel Macron d’accompagner le pape pendant quelques minutes à Notre-Dame n’a pas été acceptée par le Saint-Siège. Cet épisode met en lumière les divergences qui ont marqué les préparatifs : Paris envisageait une visite d’État, tandis que Rome voyait plutôt un voyage apostolique ».
16.09.2026 POLICE TO CONSULT VATICAN TODAY : IS CITING THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, VATICAN COUNCIL II AND THE BIBLE LEGAL AT THE VATICAN ?. Over the last five nights I have been sleeping outside, in front of the basilica of St. Peter,under the arch in front of the Holy See Press Office. I used cardboard cartons. There were many people sleeping there in various places. Some were also tourists. Today morning I was checked by the police as at about seven in the morning I was waiting for the Priests with Sant Egidio. I had written something last night and I was to give it to them. Like the others sitting there, who were sleeping outside, I was ready to leave when the police asked us to do so. Then one of the police, noticed the message fixed on my knapsack. He photographed it and said the Vatican would be asked about it. They seemed to have known about me. I was asked if was a writer. I said yes, I write on the Internet. The message said: Catechism of the Catholic Church 846, …Lebih
Orang yang Ditunjuk Leo XIV Diberi Gelar “Saudara Mason” pada 2022: Pada 13 Agustus, Leo XIV menunjuk Profesor Umberto Longo dari Roma ke dalam Komite Kepausan untuk Ilmu Sejarah Vatikan. Pada Desember 2022, Longo memberikan ceramah di Venesia mengenai Hugo Pratt (1927–1995), seorang Freemason dan seniman komik asal Italia. Di akhir acara, Gian-Paolo Barbi, Komandan Agung Tertinggi dari loge Masonik 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite', mengambil alih pembicaraan. Ia menepuk bahu Longo dan menyapanya sebagai 'il fratello professor Longo' - 'Saudara Profesor Longo'. Ungkapan ini patut diperhatikan karena publikasi-publikasi Freemasonry yang lebih lama dari tahun 2013 dan 2014 juga menyebut seorang “Umberto Longo” sebagai “Saudara” Freemason dan pejabat Ritus Skotlandia.
«il fratello professor Longo»: Questa settimana Leone XIV ha nominato il professor Umberto Longo membro del Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche. Nel dicembre 2022, Longo tenne a Venezia una conferenza su Hugo Pratt. Al termine della relazione, Gian-Paolo Barbi, presentatosi come Sovrano Gran Commendatore del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato, ringraziò il relatore con queste parole: «questa intensa emozione che il fratello professor Longo ci ha voluto donare con questa bellissima disquisizione». L’espressione «il fratello professor Longo», pronunciata dal vertice del Rito Scozzese, è significativa.
Trump Approves $2.8 Billion Arms Sale to Israel, Including 40,000 One-Ton Bombs nytimes.com/2026/09/15/us/politics/trump-israel-b… The package would be among the largest deliveries of U.S. munitions to Israel. By Michael Crowley and Edward Wong Reporting from Washington Sept. 15, 2026 The Trump administration has approved a $2.8 billion sale of heavy bombs to Israel, according to a U.S. official, in what would be among the largest deliveries of U.S. munitions there even as American public support for the country declines. The proposed sale would include 40,000 one-ton bombs whose use by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon has drawn international anger because of the civilian harm caused by their wide blast radius. Human rights groups and some foreign governments have condemned Israel for dropping the giant munitions in densely populated areas, sometimes killing dozens of civilians in strikes targeting just one individual. The package would include 20,000 each of America’s 2,000-pound MK-84 and …Lebih
"I perceive my soul in the midst of my body as in a purgatory, conformed and like to the true purgatory, in measure, however, that the body may be able to endure it and not die ; yet the pain goes on increasing gradually until death. I see the soul estranged to all things, even spiritual, which can give it nourishment as joy, delight, consolation ; and it has no power of tasting anything temporal or spiritual by will, by understanding, by memory, so that I can say, " This thing pleases me more than that other."
