Popes certainly have more important things to do than pay for their hotel room out of their own wallet, as Francis did at the beginning of his pontificate. Do they even have enough time for that?
Michael Haynes - Lawyer for Rupnik's alleged victims said the Vatican has made no cont... Lawyer for Rupnik's alleged victims said the Vatican has made no contact “Why don’t we know who the judges are?” adds @GeraldMurray8 “The whole thing is a horrific problem & the Holy See has not lived up to expectations it gives when victims come forward” On @CatholicHerald Michael Haynes (@MLJHaynes) on X
The victims' lawyer talks: - Lawyer criticizes secrecy: Laura Sgrò, who represents five women accusing former Jesuit Marko Rupnik of abuse, says the Vatican's doctrinal office has ignored her requests for information about the case. - Victims excluded: She says the alleged victims have not been called to testify, and her request to participate as their legal representative received no response. - Calls for basic transparency: Sgrò says she is not asking for a public trial, only enough information to protect the victims' rights, including access to witness testimony. - Judges remain anonymous: The Vatican has confirmed judges were appointed, but their identities are secret. Sgrò argues this prevents scrutiny of possible conflicts of interest and undermines confidence in the process. Victims ignored: Rupnik’s trial is yet another …
„Homosexuálne činy sú v Božích očiach obzvlášť odporné“: 94-ročný hongkonský kardinál Joseph Zen napísal 27. júla na svojom blogu o zlých silách, ktoré nás pokúšajú, vrátane telesných sklonov. „Samozrejme, etika a morálka sa netýkajú len šiesteho a deviateho prikázania, ale práve na hriechy tohto druhu sa najľahšie stane človek závislým. Obzvlášť tie hriechy LGBTQ – tie úplne porušujú Stvoriteľov plán pre ľudstvo.“ Kardinál Zen dodal, že homosexuálne činy sú „v Biblii nielen označené za hriech, ale sú v Božích očiach ohavnosťou (obzvlášť odpornou)“. Píše tiež: „Milosrdný Boh tiež zoslal oheň, aby zničil Sodomu.“
150-stránkový spis v centre kauzy Rupnik: Portál PerMariam.com zverejnil chronológiu prípadu Marka Rupnika. Jedna skutočnosť upúta pozornosť: jezuiti zostavili 150-stránkový spis, ktorý dokumentuje údajné zneužívanie zo strany otca Marka Rupnika v rokoch 1985 až 2018. Podľa jeho bývalého jezuitského predstaveného je dôveryhodnosť týchto nahlásených udalostí „veľmi vysoká“.
Dossiê de 150 páginas no cerne do caso Rupnik: o site PerMariam.com publicou uma cronologia do caso de Marko Rupnik. Um pormenor destaca-se: os jesuítas compilaram um dossiê de 150 páginas que documenta os alegados abusos cometidos pelo padre Marko Rupnik entre 1985 e 2018. Segundo o seu antigo superior jesuíta, a credibilidade destes factos relatados é «muito elevada».
Mníchovská liturgická kontroverzia obletela celý svet: Mnohé katolícke médiá po celom svete – v angličtine, francúzštine, poľštine, španielčine, taliančine atď. – informujú o najnovšom liturgickom zneužití zo strany arcidiecézy Mníchov a Freising. Prípad sa týka omše na sviatok sv. Márie Magdalény, počas ktorej pomocný biskup Wolfgang Bischof predniesol „dialógovú homíliu“ spolu s laičkou Theresia Reischl, a to napriek tomu, že Svätá stolica nedávno opätovne potvrdila, že homília počas omše je vyhradená pre vysväteného kňaza. Súčasťou slávenia boli aj liturgické tance a balóny, čo ešte viac podnietilo kritiku.
Five years ago today, Pope Francis issued Traditionis custodes, sharply restricting the Traditional Latin Mass after concluding from a survey of bishops that its implementation required intervention.
~ Prayer to Christ The King ~ ~ O CHRIST JESUS, I acknowledge Thee King of the universe. ~ All that has been created has been made for Thee. ~ Exercise over me all Thy sovereign rights. ~ I renew the promises of my Baptism. ~ I renounce satan and all his works, and all his pomps, and I promise to live a good Christian life and to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Thy Church. ~ Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee my poor efforts in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Thy Sacred Royalty, and that thus the Kingdom of Thy peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen. ~ Source taken from Catholic Prayers, by Tan Books & Publishers, page 51.
No response has yet come from the Society, and it appears that they were not informed of the Decree and Note prior to learning about the texts from members of the press.
Just 24-hours before the SSPX plans to consecrate four new bishops, the Pope sent his much awaited final appeal to the Society, seeking to call off the ceremony even at such late notice. It was two weeks ago to the day that Leo commented he intended to make such an appeal, and ever since then Vatican observers have been waiting to see what form it would take.
In other words, Burke condones the apostasy of Bergoglio and Prevost, who have defied divine natural law and contradict Catholic morality (*Fiducia Supplicans* and *Amoris Laetitia*) and the Catholic faith (*Laudato Si’*, Abu Dhabi, the heresy of ecumenical religious indifferentism that defies the True God and renounces Christ and the Most Holy Trinity, etc.).
Müller, Burke Prevost und Porno-Tucho fließt das Wasser im Mund zusammen, wenn sie an die (ungültige) Exkommunikation gegen die FSSPX denken. Sie wollen persönliche Rache, NICHT Wahrheit und die Ehre Jesu Christi.
He especially asked cdls for their advice, pastoral experience to help him as Pope Counts on them to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying today to the Church” Asks for their “honesty, frankness and realism in a spirit of communion… & patience.” Notes the consistory structure of round tables vs open discussion “is not normal for many of you” but asks them to engage in it as an exercise of synodality and communion. Background details on Consistory on Per Mariam - https://tinyurl.com/38skaj9e Tables divided into two halves: cardinal electors in 1, and in the other are cardinal-electors working in the Curia along with non-electors EG: Cardinal Burke sitting at a table with Cardinals Roche and Radcliffe and Alencherry, among others
"Imparate la sinodalità!" Leone XIV si è rivolto questa mattina al Collegio dei Cardinali: "Impariamo la sinodalità mettendola in pratica". Riferendosi alla formula della tavola rotonda, Leone ha riconosciuto che "per molti di voi non è una cosa abituale", ma l’ha definita "un esercizio di sinodalità e di comunione". La disposizione dei posti a sedere sembra studiata per evitare raggruppamenti ideologici. Il cardinale Raymond Burke (77) è seduto accanto al cardinale Arthur Roche (76, Curia, Liturgia), al cardinale Timothy Radcliffe (80, Domenicano) e al cardinale George Alencherry (81, in pensione, Chiesa siro-malabarese in India).
Cardinal Müller on lay homilies: “One cannot arbitrarily divide up priestly powers and outsource them in a functionalist manner unless one denies the sacramental priesthood altogether in a Protestant manner, subsumes it entirely under the common priesthood of all the faithful, and leaves it merely as a function carried out on behalf of the community”
Even setting aside the section about Pope Francis, this is a document worth reading. Take this line, for example: "Through my own fault, Lord, I sought to follow St. John Paul II's example in matters that aligned with my natural inclinations, but far less so in matters that would have addressed my most significant shortcomings."
Konzistórium prebieha podobne ako synoda: Na otvorené vystúpenia počas konzistória 26.–27. júna sú vyhradené len dve hodiny. Väčšina zasadnutia je venovaná diskusiám v malých skupinách. Kardináli sú rozdelení do 20 skupín, z ktorých každá pripraví písomnú správu. Na plenárnom zasadnutí majú svoje správy predstaviť len deväť skupín. Na základe predchádzajúcich oznámení Vatikánu sa očakávala diskusia o doktríne spravodlivej vojny, tá však v konečnom programe chýba. Kardináli môžu komunikovať priamo s Levom XIV. prostredníctvom e-mailovej adresy určenej na tento účel.
