Irish bishop backs cancellation of country singer’s concert in Catholic church.
Irish Bishop Kevin Doran of Achonry and Elphin has backed the cancellation of a Christmas concert by country singer Nathan Carter inside St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Boyle. He explained that churches are sacred spaces, not concert venues or “disco settings”: “The important thing is to preserve the nature of the church and the sanctuary as a sacred space,” he said.
The December 13 concert had been approved by a previous parish priest. Tickets were already on sale. Then, the new parish priest cancelled the event after taking charge of the parish this autumn.
The Diocese has rules governing concerts in churches. Music need not be strictly liturgical, but it should be spiritual in character and compatible with the sacred nature of the building.
Carter whined he was “extremely disappointed” by the cancellation.

Cupich: Advocacy for immigrants ‘is, in its truest sense, an act of divine worship’ - LifeSite
Cardinal Blase Cupich called immigrant advocacy an 'act of divine worship' while urging immigration reform and condemning enforcement without distinguishing legal from illegal immigration.
Mon Oct 5, 2026 - 1:19 pm EDT
(LifeSiteNews) — Heterodox Cardinal Blase Cupich told Catholics gathered for a “City of Welcome” event that advocacy for immigrants “belongs to every single disciple of Jesus, and it is, in its truest sense, an act of divine worship,” again collapsing legal and illegal immigration into a single moral claim.
The October 3 homily at the Archdiocese of Chicago celebration titled “Celebrating a City of Welcome, where Catholic Solidarity and the Journey of Migration Meet,” praised Chicago as a city “woven from the courageous journeys” of earlier immigrants, African American migrants, and more recent Latino and Asian communities.
Cupich then said the “spirit of welcome” has been “…

The Church Has Been “Taken Over” — The Crisis Is a Hostile Takeover | Bishop Schneider at LifeSite
The Church Has Been "Taken Over" — The Crisis Is a Hostile Takeover | Bishop Schneider
Bishop Schneider has characterized the crisis in the Catholic Church as a “hostile takeover” of its strategic administrative structures. Speaking at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh, Schneider warned of doctrinal ambiguities and what he called “brazen heresies” among high-ranking clergy, arguing that some of the Church’s highest offices are approaching apostasy by adopting values detached from God.
Frank Wright connects Schneider’s diagnosis with Sedevacantism: An Attack on Papal Authority, a collection of essays attributed to the Society of St. Pius X. The book’s analysis of structural and doctrinal changes in the modern Church, he argues, has been vindicated by subsequent events. What was once dismissed as extreme is now being confirmed by bishops. What was once speculation is now documented …

Leo XIV should disclose - yes or no - if he is following Francis' way or not.

Is Pope St. Pius X’s Condemnation of Modernism Still Valid Today?
Is religion nothing more than one’s personal or collective experience? Father Kenneth Dos Santos, MIC, explains in his latest column for CatholicStand.com.
By Fr. Kenneth M. Dos Santos, MIC
First published by Catholic Stand.
Is religion nothing more than one’s personal or collective experience? Is there an objective truth revealed by God to the human race, or, any reasonable basis for establishing believability in the Christian Faith?
The Catholic Dictionary characterizes Modernism, or the Modernist, as one who minimalizes the very idea of God, the One True Eternal God who exists outside of all time, space, and matter:
There is no objective revelation from God to the human race, on which Christianity is finally based, nor any reasonable grounds for credibility in the Christian faith, based on miracles or the testimony of history. Faith, therefore, is uniquely from within. In fact, it is part of human nature, “a kind of …

Leo XIV promoted Cardinal: “The entire Tradition of the Church must be read in the light of the teaching of the Council."
The traditional spirituality had been built around the image of Christ the King, whereas the Second Vatican Council pointed toward building a spirituality around Christ the Servant, Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Kraków said on October 3, according to gosc.pl.
He is a pro-homosexual prelate and was promoted by Pope Leo XIV from Łódź to Kraków in November 2025.
Cardinal Ryś said: “The entire Tradition of the Church must be read in the light of the teaching of the Council. Then we are in the Church. What worries me greatly is the rejection of the Council - today there is no shortage of attitudes that blame the Council for everything.”
He added: “The Council was not a departure from Tradition. It was a return to that current within Tradition which is the oldest and which sets the standard.”
Asked whether “the open, progressive Church does not make the symmetrical error of …

The Sixth Dungeon
XXX. No Peace ~ 1 Kings xxv. When Nabel heard the words of his wife, his heart died within him and he became as a stone.
Two Vipers
Did you ever see two deadly vipers fly at each other? Their eyes burn with rage. They shoot out their poisoned stings. They struggle to give each other the death-blow. They struggle till they have torn the flesh and blood from each other. You may see the like of this in hell. See that young man and young woman -- how changed they are! They loved each other so much on earth, that for this they broke the laws of God and man. But now they fight each other like two vipers, and so they will fight for all eternity.

There was a glass which made things look three million times larger than they really are. A drop of dirty water was looked at through this glass. Millions of frightful little insects were seen …

Fri Oct 2, 2026 - 12:41 pm EDTFri Oct 2, 2026 - 1:40 pm EDT

Confirmed: Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, 60, as Metropolitan Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto.
The move brings Gambetti’s tenure as Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City and President of the Fabric of St Peter to an end. His successor at the Vatican has not yet been announced.
Cardinal Gambetti's years in the Vatican were marked by repeated controversies, many of which were brought to public attention primarily by SilereNonPossum.com. The investigation was based on documents, photographs, videos and testimony.
Among other issues, SilereNonPossum reported favouritism in personnel appointments - including the hiring of people personally connected to Gambetti. Other scandals included controversial expenditure, costly events and projects, and concerns over the maintenance and management of the Basilica.
Cardinal Gambetti succeeds Archbishop Bruno Forte, whose resignation Pope Leo XIV has accepted.
The transfer comes after months of rumours that …
