Fraternal Appeal to Leo XIV to Build a Bridge with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider published on Diane Montagna’s Substack.com-Account a “Fraternal Appeal” to Pope Leo XIV about the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX). He urges Leo XIV in this “truly Providential moment” to grant the apostolic mandate for the episcopal consecrations. The backbone of the appeal.
- In this debate, new quasi-dogmas are being established that do not exist in the Depositum fidei.
- These quasi-dogmas maintain that the Pope’s consent to a bishop’s consecration is of divine right, and that a consecration carried out without this consent, or even against a papal prohibition, constitutes in itself a schismatic act.
- Centuries of ecclesial practice, as well as traditional canon law, stand in opposition to such absolutizing assertions.
Canonical Argument
- In the first millennium of the Church’s life, episcopal consecrations were generally performed without formal papal permission, and candidates were not required to be approved by the Pope.
- According to …Yana

I see Schneider adopted Prevost's Masonic lingo of "building bridges". Why he must be "in universal brotherhood" with him 😂

Strategically, cutting off the SSPX (excommunication or otherwise) has only downsides for the foundering Synodal Church. As the ond saying goes, "never force someone to choose if you can't live with one of the options."
Drawing a strict boundary between the SSPX and the Synodal Church forces a choice and, in a number of countries, the Synodal Church is not well thought of enough to be the winner. "Deeply regretting" and continuing to dialogue as an act of mercy is the optimal stance.

I am leaving a short video on St. Raymond Nonnatus as well.
They Locked His Mouth to Silence Him | St. Raymond Nonnatus
In the 13th century, a young man from Catalonia joined the Mercedarian Order with one mission: to ransom Christians held captive overseas. According to historical accounts, Saint Raymond Nonnatus traveled to North Africa to free enslaved believers. When ransom money ran out, he offered himself in exchange for their freedom. Ancient Mercedarian sources say he continued preaching Christ even while imprisoned. According to later tradition, his captors attempted to silence him by mutilating his lips — but his witness endured. His life reminds us that no chain can bind the truth of Christ.

St. Raymond Nonnatus | Mercedarian Friars

Feast: August 31
Patron of Mercedarian novices, the falsely accused, expectant mothers, Christian family life, and of the unborn.

The traditional dates for the life of St. Raymond Nonnatus present him to us as a man of the 13th century. Born in Portell, when his mother had already died, he came into the world by the dagger of the Viscount of Cardona, who took the child out of his mother's womb; hence, he acquired the nickname Nonnatus (not born).

Nevertheless, 20th-century research shows us a friar named Ramón Surrons, a native son of Portell, who participated in the chapter in El Puig (1324), and acted as a definite (counselor of the Provincial) at the chapter in Lérida (1335). In the latter chapter, he was appointed a redeemer, and during a redemption campaign in Algiers his lips were padlocked and he suffered other tortures. He then also participated in the election of the Master General, Vincente Riera.
We discover in Raymond a life dedicated to redemptive service, enduring the …

Memorial
25 February
Profile
Born of Spanish peasants. Shepherd as a child, and a hired field hand as a young man, helping to support his family. Gentleman’s valet at Salamanca. He travelled to Puebla, Mexico at age 31 where he built plows and wagons, and worked as a farm hand. Spent 10 years building a 466 mile road from Mexico City to Zacatecas, and conducting the postal and delivery service along the route; the road is still in use today.
Sebastian eventually became very wealthy, but lived simply, and gave freely of his money to the poor. He was married twice, the first time at age 60, but he never consummated the marriages, and outlived both brides. He gave away his wealth and became a Franciscan at age 72, spending his remaining 25 years begging alms for his brother Franciscans. Witnesses attest to over 300 miracles he performed in life.

“Open Borders” Bishops Blast Trump Deportations Just Hours Before State of the Union Address

Hours before President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, which is expected to include comments on immigration enforcement, 18 Roman Catholic bishops and archbishops from U.S. border regions issued a strongly worded statement urging Congress and the administration to make specific policy changes on the federal treatment of migrants.
Their
list of demands includes honoring migrants’ right to apply for asylum at the border, protecting their access to sensitive locations like schools and houses of worship, keeping mixed-status families together, halting intimidating enforcement tactics like roving patrols and federal agents’ use of masks, and funding reintegration programs in deportees’ home countries.
“While we acknowledge the right and duty of a sovereign nation to enforce its laws, we also believe that those laws should be upheld in a manner that protects the God-given human dignity and rights of the human person,” the bishops wrote.

Built on Conviction, Not Capital: Lenten Alms for Gloria.tv

Media is not a sustainable, profitable enterprise. Everyone wants to browse the internet, but hardly anyone wants to pay for it. Most media outlets survive because someone else pays the bill - either governments with taxpayers' money or giant foundations with ideological agendas.
Gloria.tv is a social network for the Church, for Catholics, and for people of goodwill.

Man jumps into icy Lake Michigan to rescue 8-month-old baby - LifeSite

CHICAGO (
LifeSiteNews) — A man saved an eight-month-old baby girl from drowning in Lake Michigan after he jumped into its icy waters.
Lio Cundiff, 30, was taking a walk along Belmont Harbor in Chicago while wishing a happy belated birthday to his aunt on the phone when he heard a woman scream and saw a stroller with a baby inside swept into Lake Michigan by a strong gust of wind.
“I wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Cundiff, who reportedly does not swim, told Fox10 from a nearby hospital, where his heart was being monitored after the rescue.
“I immediately dropped my phone, threw my jacket off,” Cundiff told Block Club Chicago. “I realized the woman was in too much shock to do anything, which is more than understandable. So I thought, ‘I guess I’m going in.’”
Cundiff jumped into the water and grabbed ahold of the stroller, with the baby still strapped in.
“I just held the stroller up,” Cundiff said. “I was thinking …

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.
Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.
NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails …

Leo XIV Once Thought About Becoming a Salesian

During a pastoral visit to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus near Rome’s Termini station on February 22, Leo XIV shared a detail from his youth, reports Vatican News.va.
He had briefly considered entering the Salesian order founded by St. John Bosco.
“Before I entered the Augustinians, as a young man I also visited the Salesian community,” he said with a smile. “You came in second place — I’m sorry!” His remark drew laughter from the Salesians who run the parish.
Leo XIV added that since his election, he has visited more Salesian communities than Augustinian ones, joking that perhaps “something of you has remained in my heart.”
Speaking after the Eucharist, Leo XIV expressed appreciation for the Salesians’ work with young people, especially immigrants.
Leo XIV served as Prior General of the Augustinian Order from 2001 to 2013.

"To the fourth kind belong those who abide in mortal sin without fear and without shame, who care not for God and His gifts, and neglect all virtues. They hold all ghostly life to be hypocrisy and deceit; and they hardly listen to all that one may say to them of God or of the virtues, for they have established themselves as though there were no God, nor heaven, nor hell, and therefore they desire to know of nothing but that which they now perceive and have before them. Behold, all such are rejected and despised by God, for they sin against the Holy Ghost. Yet they may be converted; but this happens with difficulty and seldom."

Ageing could soon be reversible, says Harvard scientist
Scientists have reversed biological aging markers by up to 75% in specific animal tissues within weeks.. At the 2026 in Dubai summit, Dr. David Sinclair said scientists are preparing human clinical trials to reverse aspects of ageing. The goal is to treat ageing itself, the main risk factor behind diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease and diabetes.
The approach uses epigenetic reprogramming to restore cells to a younger state. As people age, cells lose epigenetic information that controls how genes function. Resetting this information may allow old cells to behave like young ones again without altering DNA. Using modified Yamanaka genes (reprogramming factors), Sinclair’s team has already reversed ageing in animal tissues by up to 75% within weeks through partial cellular reprogramming.
Human trials aim to test whether similar effects can be achieved safely in people. Sinclair predicted that within the …Yana

Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

Canadian Children May be Euthanized Without Parental Consent - LifeNews.com

A report by the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) was tabled in the House of Commons on February 15 calling for a drastic expansion of euthanasia (MAiD) in Canada. Among other recommendations, the report recommends that euthanasia be expanded to include children “mature minors.”
Recommendation 19 in the report states:
That the Government of Canada establish a requirement that, where appropriate, the parents or guardians of a mature minor be consulted in the course of the assessment process for MAID, but that the will of a minor who is found to have the requisite decision-making capacity ultimately take priority.
This means that parents or guardians may or may not be consulted, in the euthanasia death of a child that is deemed capable of decision-making.
To understand Recommendation 19 better we to go back to the policy developed by the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto on euthanasia for “mature minors” that was published as a report in the Journal of …

“The Episcopal Consecrations Are Not a Formal Schism”

Rev Jaime Mercant Simó, a Spanish diocesan priest and professor at the Center for Theological Studies of Mallorca Diocesan priest from Spain, wrote on X.com on February 22 about the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X. His thoughts.
Several of my readers have asked me about the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of St. Pius X. Here is my position, presented in a pedagogical format of questions and answers:
1. Will the Lefebvrists commit a mortal sin with these episcopal consecrations?
— No, not at all.
2. Is it not a schismatic act?
— No, formally it is not.
3. Why is it formally not a schism?
— Because, for a “perfect schism” to occur, there must be a clear intention to perform a schismatic act and to establish, with the new bishops, a hierarchical jurisdiction parallel to the one existing in the Roman Catholic Church. In this case, neither of these two things will occur.
4. Could it at least be an act of disobedience?
— Yes, indeed it is, at least materially, since Rome …Yana

The excommunication is unjust. The doubtful pope is in grave error for denying the supply of Bishops to faithful of the SSPX after they legally requested them.

At least there is one courageous and wise priest who defends the truth. When they change the formula of consecration in Rome, rendering it invalid, the SSPX will remain faithful to it; their Masses will be valid, the others will not.

“Chapter III ~ Of Humility
Now understand this: we find in Christ, according to His Godhead, two kinds of humility

The first kind is this: that He willed to become man, and took on Himself that very nature which had been banished and cursed to the bottom of hell, and willed to become one with it according to His personality; so that now any man, either good or evil, can say: Christ, the Son of God, is my brother.
The second kind of humility according to His Godhead consists in this; that He chose a poor maiden, not a king's daughter, for His mother, so that a poor maiden should be the mother of God, who is Lord of heaven and earth and all creatures.
And further, we can say of all the works of humility which Christ ever did, that they were done by God Himself."
