Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández will publish a new document this October addressing the growing rupture in the transmission of Christianity between generations. It calls for “a Church capable of welcoming everyone in a different way, precisely as they are.” Requested by Pope Francis in his final days, the text was continued with Pope Leo XIV’s encouragement. Fernández announced the forthcoming document in a September 9 address to newly appointed bishops, previewing its main themes and saying it would be published the following month.
‘APPENDICES…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; pp. 54-56; part I [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Appendix A THE Saint must here be understood to mean that the souls in purgatory cannot recollect the specific reasons of the pains they suffer ; that they cannot say, " I have done such and such sins, for which I deserve to be here." She cannot mean absolutely that they do not know that the pains they suffer are in punishment for their sins. For besides such ignorance being scarcely conceivable, it is contrary to her own express statement in chapter vii., where she says, that " that which causes the souls in purgatory most pain, is the seeing in themselves a thing displeasing to God ; and the being conscious that it has been admitted against so much goodness." Appendix B THERE is a difference of opinion among theologians as to the nature of that …Dabalata
"THERE is a difference of opinion among theologians as to the nature of that purification which the souls undergo in purgatory. From what are they purified ? from the guilt of sin, or simply from imperfections? If from imperfections, in what sense do they become perfect? In that they are intrinsically improved ; or is it merely that they have bettered their condition before God?"
Leo XIV praises foundational Lutheran document: The Augsburg Confession by Melanchthon. Today, Leo XIV received a delegation of the Lutheran World Federation. He said: “Renewed communion in the apostolic faith, in the sacraments [!], and in the ministries is the goal of our ecumenical journey of grace.” Leo XIV focused particularly on the year 2030, which will mark the 500th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, presenting it as an opportunity to advance Catholic-Lutheran ecumenism and the pursuit of “full, visible unity.” He claimed: “The Augsburg Confession was originally intended as a document of reconciliation within the Church. Only later did it come to be understood as a text of divisive confessionalization.” He wants to “succeed in affirming together the pre-confessional ecumenical potential of the Confessio Augustana.” Main Objections to the Confessio Augustana The Augsburg Confession (Confessio Augustana) was presented to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg on 25 June …Dabalata
Oops! John Paul II, June 25, 1982, called the Augsburg Confession one of the "great and common foundations of our Christian Faith." Leo is just following "St." John Paul "the Great."
Leo XIV wants the Church to be an "open house" where "everyone has a place". Today, Pope Leo XIV published his video message for October. The prayer intention, using the usual buzzwords, is about mental health ministry, calling on the Church to listen without judging and support those who are suffering. The key phrase is: "May your Church be an open house, a safe space where everyone has a place — a community that accompanies and never excludes; that listens without judging; and that draws near without fear." #newsKcoeptmmtq
‘Opinions of the Doctors…’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXII; p. 69-70, part III Chapter XXII ~ Duration of Purgatory — Opinions of the Doctors — Bellarmine — Calculations of Father Mumford. Let us take a moderate estimate, and suppose that you commit about ten faults a day ; at the end of 365 days you will have a sum of 3650 faults. Let us diminish, and, to facilitate the calculation, place it at 3000 per year. At the end often years this will amount to 30,000, and at the end of twenty years to 60,000. Suppose that of these 60,000 faults you have expiated one half by penance and good works, there will still remain 30,000 to be atoned for. Let us continue our hypothesis : You die after these twenty years of virtuous life, and appear before God with a debt of 30,000 faults, which you must discharge in Purgatory. How much time will you need to accomplish this expiation? Suppose, on an average, each fault requires one hour of Purgatory. This measure is very moderate, if we …Dabalata
"Let us continue our hypothesis : You die after these twenty years of virtuous life, and appear before God with a debt of 30,000 faults, which you must discharge in Purgatory. How much time will you need to accomplish this expiation? Suppose, on an average, each fault requires one hour of Purgatory. This measure is very moderate, if we judge by the revelations of the saints ; but at any rate this will give you a Purgatory of 30,000 hours. Now, do you know how many years these 30,000 hours represent? Three years, three months, and fifteen days."

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Pierre Goudreault - open to married priests - as the new bishop of Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Bishop Goudreault, 63, has governed Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière since 2018 and has headed the Canadian bishops’ conference since September 2025. He said after his September 29 appointment that Catholics should discern how to become “a synodal Church” characterized by “mutual listening” and “communal discernment.” “The Church as a laboratory” Already before becoming a bishop, Goudreault told LePlacoteux.com in 2017 that he sees “the Church as a laboratory where we have to allow ourselves to try things” and that “we have to change our ways of doing things”. The remarks accompanied discussion of his book Faire Église autrement (“Being Church Differently”), in which he proposed the multiplication of small groups for reflection, faith-sharing and Christian formation as a path for the Church's future. Open to Married Priests In January 2024, LePlacoteux.com asked …Dabalata
“I was addressing the secretary general [Rutte, asking] ‘Is there any proof, real proof intelligence services are providing, something on the table, that Russia is getting ready for something?’ And there is actually none,” Sinkevicius said. Of course there is NONE. There never is. Just empty threats and lies. And once again we have another person to destroy propaganda spread by the West and US. And a few on gtv. If I were to post everything of the truth I see, hear and read, gtv would be overwhelmed with it. So I post occasionally something once in awhile. Sometimes back to back.

New Zealand Bishop warns priests not to import practices from the 1962 Mass into the Novus Ordo. Bishop Stephen Lowe of Auckland, New Zealand, has rediscovered the liturgical rubrics. In a September 11 letter, he asked priests to review how they actually celebrate the Eucharist in light of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM). Key passage: “In particular, I would like to underline Fr Paul’s comment that we should not be adding things back into the Liturgy that were part of the 1962 Latin Mass.” The letter follows workshops led by American liturgist Fr Paul Turner and organised by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference across all six dioceses. #newsQkshdczbqd
Worse than Germany: Funeral held in Paris Archdiocese for prominent actor who was killed by euthanasia. French actor Arnaud Denis was killed by euthanasia in Belgium on September 22, aged 43. He received a Catholic funeral at Saint-Roch Church in Paris on October 1. Denis had been seriously ill for about three years. His health collapsed after a routine hernia operation in 2023, during which a surgical mesh implant was placed in his body. He suffered severe pain, lost significant weight and developed debilitating health problems that eventually left him disabled. The implant was later removed, but his health did not recover. He requested euthanasia in Belgium and made his plans publicly known in January. According to TribuneChrétienne.com, Saint-Roch confirmed that Denis was a baptized Catholic and that the funeral was held at his request and that of his family. The Church teaches that euthanasia is “morally unacceptable” and an intrinsically evil act. Canon 1184 provides that manifest …Dabalata
@william jenny barbero I doubt very much he'll be resting in peace unless he changed his mind in his last minutes and made a perfect act of confession. He requested this act, which makes it a suicide, not euthanasia in the strict sense.
This man will answer to God, of course, but so will the Conciliar-inspired popes, bishops and priests who initiated and continue to promote the false teachings that have grown out of the Second Vatican Council which gave rise to the Satanically-inspired beliefs taking place today. It is those religious beliefs that have allowed this foolish man to likely believe that what he is doing will not displease God. Indeed, his ignorance is confirmed for his family by the prelate and priests who approved his “Catholic” funeral. The Pope and many bishops and priests of the Conciliar religion today may piously shake their heads in disapproval of euthanasia, but God knows that in their heart of hearts they realize that they are part of a religion that steadily moves further away from the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church—the only religion established by Jesus Christ. For the sake of their souls I pray they wake up to the truth.
Homily Friday, October 2, 2026 Job 38:1, 12-21; 40:3-5 God said to Job, “What is the way to the dwelling of light?” God’s light is given to us, but we cannot follow it. Let us welcome the rays of God’s love within us. Matthew 18:1-5, 10 Jesus said, “Become like children.” To rediscover our childlike hearts is to welcome the joy and peace within us, manifestations of God’s love.
