Light Inside Monstrance for Artistic Effect A Madrid sacristan told Betania TV on July 15 that a priest used a light behind - or allegedly in place of - the consecrated Host during Eucharistic Adoration to create a more artistic visual effect. The sacristan said he was instructed to tape the light directly to the holder of the Host because placing it outside the glass did not produce the desired effect. He also urged priests not to "use Christ" for emotional effect.

Many Catholics think that “Catholic” means “universal,” and they are correct, but they make the mistake of thinking this is universal not through history, but just today in this current Church crisis. We look to the great saint and doctor of the Church of the 5th century, St. Vincent of Lerins, for how to navigate a Church crisis when many bishops believe and teach different things. St. Vincent of Lerins was one of the very, very few bishops who fought against the global 5th century heresy of Arianism believed by 98% of the bishops of his day. . . .
Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, Scotland, issued a pastoral letter on Saturday ahead of the planned episcopal consecration of Fr. Michael Mary, F.SS.R., superior general and founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists. The "consecration" is scheduled to take place on July 25 on Papa Stronsay in Orkney. It is performed by three Sedevacantist "bishops" from the Americas. Bishop Gilbert said the consecration would constitute an act of schism. He compared it with the July 1 consecration of four bishops by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. The bishop noted that the planned consecration directly concerns the Diocese of Aberdeen because Papa Stronsay lies within its geographical boundaries. At the same time, Bishop Gilbert expanded the provision of the Mass in the Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady of the Garioch and St. John the Evangelist in Fetternear. The Mass, previously offered once a month, will now be celebrated every Sunday. After the Transalpine Redemptorists became Sedevacantist …More
Canonist Gerald V. McDevitt explains the concept of 'tacit resignation of office' showing there is a lower bar for 'public defection from the faith' and accompanying renunciation than some claim.

Saint of the Day, Wednesday, June 14, 1967 Today it is a feast of great significance for us: Saint Elisha, prophet and father of the Carmelite Order, the successor of Saint Elias. It is also the feast of St. Basil the Great, bishop, confessor, and Doctor of the Church. Of him, the Martyrology says, “With irresistible energy, he defended the Church against the Aryans and Macedonians in the fourth century.” St. Elisha is of particular interest to us because, as you know, he was the successor of St. Elias. And Saint Elias, historically spoken, can be considered the first devotee of Our Lady. he devotee who certainly received a form of devotion to Our Lady, which was a prefigure and forerunner of the true devotion of St. Louis Grignion de Montfort, himself an Apostle of the Latter Times. As we know, Elias must come back in the latter times. Only then? No, he must go back also in the last days of human history to fight against the Antichrist. So we consider Elias at the same time a predecessor …More
