Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X spoke in an inhouse interview with FSSPX.news about the planned episcopal consecrations on July 1. Main quotes. - “Independently of consecrations, we already now justify our apostolate precisely because there exists in the Church a state of necessity. And it is because of this state of necessity that this decision imposes itself—for the good of souls.” - “We now have only two bishops left, who are getting older. The situation of the Church does not appear likely to change direction in the coming years.” - “I think that announcing the consecrations five or six months in advance allows us, for our part, to prepare for the worst; but it also allows the pope to reflect, and, I hope, to receive further explanations from us, so as better to understand our good will. […] We have good intentions.” - “Definition of the state of necessity: it is the difficulty of finding in a parish the means necessary for our …More
The Maccabees fought on the Sabbath, disobeying the Mosaic law, in order to preserve their faith. How is the SSPX doing anything different? The law should serve the Faith; following it should not put the Faith at great risk.

Cardinal Marc Ouellet, 81, is currently in court in Montréal, Canada, in a defamation lawsuit he filed against one of his accusers, Paméla Groleau. The trial is not about criminal charges. Groleau has accused him since 2022 of unwanted touching on three occasions between 2008 and 2010. In one incident she alleges that he ran his hand down her back to the top of her buttocks. Ouellet denies all wrongdoing. The judge must decide whether the accusations harmed Ouellet’s reputation. He is seeking 100,000 Canadian dollars in damages. However, the trial is backfiring on him because two additional women have come forward during the proceedings accusing him of inappropriate touching. They are called to the trial as supporting witnesses by Groleau’s legal team to argue that her allegations are credible and part of a broader pattern. One woman, Mélissa Trépanier said she had known Ouellet since she was 18 and had considered him a “spiritual father.” They often held hands when meeting, which …More
God and Ouellet are the only ones who really know if this is true. The victims could be lying, just to get publicity and lots of cash. Hopefully the truth will soon be revealed.

Wed Mar 11, 2026 - 10:24 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Marian Eleganti has opposed Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s view that an excommunication imposed on the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) following their planned episcopal consecrations would be invalid. Schneider, auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, and former apostolic visitor of the Holy See to the Society of Saint Pius X, stated earlier this week that a possible excommunication of the Society following its planned consecrations on July 1 would be invalid because the SSPX leadership does not intend to perform a schismatic act. Eleganti, emeritus bishop of Chur in Switzerland, responded to Schneider’s view in comments given to the Catholic Herald. He argued that the absence of a declared intention to separate from Rome would not alter the act’s objective schismatic nature. “To declare a questionable intention doesn’t help,” Eleganti said. “It’s a way, saying that they don’t intend schism, to deceive people about the objective …
Well, plainly if the Pope respected and cultivated Catholicism as Catholics know it there would not be any reason for the SPPX to exist. There will come a time when that will be so. In the meantime we have endure this mess.
'I see around me a multitude of those who, blindly persevering in error, despise the true God; but I am a Christian nevertheless, and I follow the instruction of the Apostles. If this deserves chastisement, reward it; for I am determined to suffer every torture rather then become the slave of the devil. Others may do as they please since they are. . . reckless of the future life which is to be obtained only by sufferings."
'If you wish to imitate the multitude, then you shall not be among the few who shall enter in by the narrow gate.' St. Augustine, Doctor and Father of the Church 'Woe to you who command others! If so many are damned by your fault, what will happen to you? If few out of those who are first in the Church of God are saved, what will happen to you? Take all states, both sexes, every condition: husbands, wives, widows, young women, young men, soldiers, merchants, craftsmen, rich and poor, noble and plebian. What are we to say about all these people who are living so badly? The following narrative from Saint Vincent Ferrer will show you what you may think about it. He relates that an archdeacon in Lyons gave up his charge and retreated into a desert place to do penance, and that he died the same day and hour as Saint Bernard. After his death, he appeared to his bishop and said to him, "Know, Monsignor, that at the very hour I passed away, thirty-three thousand people also died. Out of this …More
The Knights Templar were effectively excommunicated and dissolved in 1312 due to fabricated charges of heresy, idolatry, and immorality, driven by King Philip IV of France to seize their vast wealth and eliminate their political power. Under torture, members confessed to crimes like spitting on the cross, leading Pope Clement V to suppress the order under extreme pressure. The original medieval Knights Templar are not currently excommunicated Pope Clement V suspended the Order in 1312, and in 2001, the Chinon Parchment was discovered, revealing that he had absolved the leaders of heresy in 1308, clearing them of wrongdoing. The order was disbanded, not permanently condemned, and its innocence was officially recognized by the Vatican in 2007 Modern Groups: Any modern organizations claiming to be the Templars are not the same entity as the medieval order, which was disbanded over 700 years ago.

On 6 March, the Diocese of El Paso in Texas filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing financial pressure from lawsuits relating to alleged clergy sexual abuse dating back several decades. This follows legal action brought under New Mexico’s “lookback law”, which allows survivors to file cases even after the usual statute of limitations has expired. The case comprises 12 lawsuits from 18 individuals who claim they were abused as children between 1956 and 1982 in southern New Mexico. At the time of the alleged incidents, the area was part of the Diocese of El Paso, but it is now part of the Diocese of Las Cruces. In a video statement, Bishop Mark J. Seitz said that the decision to file for bankruptcy had been made after prayer, discernment, and consultation. He explained that the financial claims could far exceed what the diocese can afford. #newsDdockxmxgs

Fr. Ripperger is a brilliant and solid Thomistic philosopher and theologian. However, I disagree with his constant revelations concerning what transpires during exorcisms in which he has participated. Exorcists should neither be seen nor heard. He's feeding a morbid interest in the preternatural, while exhibiting a strange mistrust in the veracity of the demons he frequently cites. Also, despite the headline in this post, he inexplicably denies there exists a state of necessity in the Church (and in a recent interview with Shawn Ryan, denies that the rot goes to the "top" of the Church) - and is deeply opposed to the SSPX.
A priest close to Pope Francis and Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández has left his Vatican post and returned to Argentina to serve as a parish priest. Daniel Pellizzon, a Buenos Aires priest and former personal secretary to Pope Francis since July 2023, has taken up a pastoral role at San Cayetano de Belgrano parish. His return, announced in late 2025 and publicized in early February, comes amid Pope Leo XIV’s gradual reshaping of the papal household.
Monsignor Pellizzon has returned to Argentina. Unfamiliar with the name? The former papal secretary has been one of the more influential figures over many years given his close links to the late Pope Francis and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández.
President Donald Trump claimed that Iran, not the U.S., struck an elementary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab, the attack with the highest civilian death toll in Trump’s second Iran war. Three current and former defense officials, however, pushed back on his claims. Even Trump’s own Pentagon chief, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, refused to back him up. U.S. Central Command appeared to suggest that Trump’s comments were “inappropriate.” “This is another instance of Trump lying and just talking out of his ass,” said a U.S. government official who reviewed satellite images of the Shajarah Tayyebeh school. “This clearly was not a failed rocket from the IRGC base.” The U.S. official was referring to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy base that was adjacent to the school. The claim that the IRGC struck the school spread as part of a misinformation campaign about the attack peddled by social media accounts that support restoring Iran’s monarchy. The U.S. official, …
The military is saying that the school was not intentionally hit, but that the school was located adjacent to a Naval base that was hit by a tomahawk missle. The school was damaged by the explosions from the Iranian Navel base and the casualties were unfortunate collateral damage.

The monks of Notre-Dame de la Grande Trappe in Soligny-la-Trappe, Normandy, have announced that they are considering leaving the abbey by around 2028. Today, only around 12 ageing monks remain in a monastery originally built for nearly 100 monks. The La Trappe community cannot afford the enormous cost of maintaining the historic buildings. A restoration project estimated to cost €12 million failed to secure funding. Founded around 1140 as a Cistercian abbey, La Trappe became the birthplace of the Trappist tradition. In 1664, Abbot Armand-Jean de Rancé introduced strict reforms to Cistercian monastic life. In 1892, the Trappist congregations formally separated from the Cistercian Order to form a new order known today as the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (OCSO). Currently, the monks are discussing the possibility of relocating the small community to a more manageable site. This situation reflects a broader reality: Trappist communities in Europe are increasingly struggling …More
