The Vatican has rejected – on paper only – a request from the German Bishops' Conference to permit lay people to preach during the Eucharist by means of an "indult." The June 17 letter, written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, was published on Dbk.de. The German bishops' proposal sought permission to allow lay employees, in the usual exceptional circumstances, to deliver a homiletic reflection following the Gospel during the Eucharist. In his reply, Cardinal Roche claims with canon law that the homily is an integral part of the liturgy [especially only since Pope Pius X] and is reserved to a priest or deacon. He stresses that the reservation of the homily to clergy is not merely a disciplinary norm and does not depend on theological competence or communication skills. Cardinal Roche disputes the claim that current pastoral circumstances require an exception. Where a priest is present to celebrate the Eucharist, he is also present to preach. Where …Aktar
Toward the Spirit: Why Faithful Catholics Need to Recover the Patristic and Scholastic Vision of Marriage Faithful Catholics today find themselves in an unusual position. On one side stands a secular culture that has largely abandoned Christian morality altogether. Marriage has been redefined, chastity ridiculed, fertility treated as a burden, and self-denial dismissed as unhealthy. Against these errors, faithful Catholics rightly defend the Church's teaching. Yet another danger confronts us—one far more subtle. It is possible to defend Catholic morality while gradually losing sight of the theological vision that once animated it. We may continue to affirm the Church's teachings while forgetting the spiritual principles that gave those teachings their shape. We may preserve the conclusions while neglecting the foundations. This danger is especially evident in the realm of marriage. The Catholic Church continues to teach the sanctity of marriage, the evil of contraception, the goodness …Aktar
Communion we all born from the side Christ who are baptised and have life from his body and blood . We are attached to eucharist umbilical cord the church is the bride of Christ which is pregnant with faithful Catholics.

Al termine dell’incontro, il Santo Padre ha pregato con i bambini e li ha invitati a raccontare ai genitori di aver pregato insieme al Papa.
Audato and Ieda Denardi with their children ADF International A Brazilian couple has been sentenced to 50 days in jail for homeschooling their daughters according to their own beliefs and not introducing them to gender ideology. Audato and Ieda Denardi were convicted of “intellectual neglect” after a court concluded that the education they provided at home failed to include programs on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.” The girls, aged 15 and 11, have been educated at home since 2020. Despite the girls being accomplished pianists and speaking multiple languages, the court determined that their educational experience was insufficient in certain areas deemed important by the state. The judge also cited what he considered a lack of cultural exposure, pointing to the fact that the couple’s daughters did not enjoy listening to trap [a subgenre of hip-hop] or sertanejo music. The couple decided to begin homeschooling in 2020 after becoming dissatisfied with the …

Yesterday, the Vatican published the program for the Consistory of June 26–27, thus providing a picture of the themes, personalities, and processes that Leo XIV wants for the Church. The scheduling information had already been leaked on June 17. Francis' Personnel Remains The Vatican has entrusted the four principal sessions to Cardinals Grzegorz Ryś (Poland), Víctor Manuel Fernández (Curia), Stephen Brislin (South Africa), and Mario Grech (Curia). All four are prominent figures associated with Francis' "project". Cardinals Fernández and Grech are homosexual activists. Francis' Synodal Procedures Remain MessaInLatino immediately noted that the structure of the meeting is unmistakably similar to the synods of Francis: small groups, listening sessions, synthesis reports, and strictly timed interventions. Two of the four sessions are organized around Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica humanitas. This means discussions about peace, reconciliation, social fragmentation, technology, and power. …Aktar

Damian Thompson interprets on 0The Spectator (June 23) the Francis' pontificate through the theory of charismatic authority. Francis emerges as a Peronist-style ruler who cultivated ambiguity, governed through unpredictability, weakened institutions, protected loyal allies, and increasingly centralised power around himself. Main quotes. - “The theology of the Bergoglio pontificate has a curiously schizophrenic quality.” - “… previously magisterial Catholic teaching on difficult topics such as divorce and homosexuality was somehow negotiable”. - “…intentional imprecision of language, a tendency to caricature critics rather than engage with their arguments,…” - “…his willingness to contradict himself. One moment he was inviting the LGBT lobby to the Vatican; the next, he was using Roman slang to mock homosexuals.” - “He compared abortionists to paid assassins; he also allowed pro-abortion Catholic politicians to receive Holy Communion and appointed ‘pro-choice’ academics to …Aktar

During identification, they found that the man who had lain in front of the float had an outstanding conviction related to drug offenses and property damage.

People want proof all the time about Putin. I and others have left plenty of it. But it seems some still don't get it. So I thought I would let you hear what I see and know be told by Former Austria's Former Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl confirm what I say is true. That I am not the only one who knows President Putin well. She moved to Russia to Saint Petersburg and attends important speeches and dinners and celebrations with President Putin. So she knows him very well. @Jeffrey Ade More proof? Or just one more thing to demand and ignore? I invite you once again to hear with your own ears who President Putin truly is. If you refuse. Don't demand proof again. I am leaving three videos. First is Mrs Kneissl in an interview with of all people the BBC.

Running Gloria.tv is not an easy task. Neither is reading it, contributing to it, discussing on it, accepting other users, or donating to keep it alive. Yet together we have built the only Catholic social media platform. It serves the Faith. It serves its users. And increasingly, it serves freedom. Gloria.tv is financed entirely by donations. Almost all of them are small; many are very small. They are given for God's sake. There are no tax deductions. There are no foundations. There are no wealthy sponsors with agendas. There is only the support of ordinary people, many of them retired, who believe that Gloria.tv should exist. Every summer brings the same challenge. Donations decline sharply, while the costs of operating Gloria.tv remain the same. That is why your donation is greatly appreciated - or rather, needed. If you can help, please donate.

One message for Muslims, another for Catholics: While Pope Leo XIV described the Great Mosque of Algiers in April as "a divine, sacred space" where "God is present", Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, Prefect of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, told AdVaticanum.com on June 22 that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue" and "not as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
After Leo XIV told moslems that mosques are "sacred space", Cardinal Koovad says that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces (Mosques) as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue, not as a denial of the uniqueness of Christ or as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
