I once received a letter from a religious superior who explained that his community had been quietly integrating the traditional Latin Mass into its life, with several younger members learning the Mass and beginning to delve into the breviary. All were benefiting from it, but…

Bishop Mark Eckman, the new Bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, gave a nod to Cardinal Wuerl during his homily at the installation Mass yesterday, saying: "You're always welcome here."

So does that mean we toss out Catholic Social Teaching on the duties of immigrants to follow secular laws of entry because of love? https://t.co/0UyQzvzfju

Statement from Bishop Joseph Strickland on the Lavender Mafia and the St. Gallen Mafia
 
In a recent post, I spoke of what many refer to as the “Lavender Mafia.” This term is commonly used to describe a hidden network of clergy within the Church who engage in or protect… pic.twitter.com/39gFsDmgA9

The Lord has entrusted us with the mission to care for creation and to bring it peace and reconciliation. We hear the cry of the earth and the poor, for that cry has reached the heart of God. Our indignation is His indignation; our work is His work. #LaudatoSi

The newly appointed Bishop of Baker, Oregon is mentioned in this article. Connecting the dots isn’t hard, a priest actively supporting sinful lifestyles is now a bishop while faithful priests who teach the truth are removed from parishes…..still in 2025. https://t.co/RFuEW7Bl0M

Some will cry “too harsh” but enough is enough…

With the appointment of Fr. Thomas Hennen, bishop-elect, as bishop of Baker, Oregon, we face a troubling reality: instead of correcting the trajectory set by Pope Francis, Pope Leo XIV is doubling down on it – deepening the… pic.twitter.com/vcIZF9VtJH

Pope Leo has appointed Fr. Thomas Hennan (47) as Bishop of Baker, Oregon; Hennen was VG of Davenport and Rector of Sacred Heart Cathedral. In 2023, the Bishop-elect was responsible for working with then Bishop Zinkula on ministry to LQBTQ Catholics. https://t.co/5Og7DsIgeH pic.twitter.com/LYHJRYs9Nc

I have known Bishop Rojas personally since 1994 and I can assure you he is a person of integrity and compassion. He is well within his right under Canon Law to dispense the faithful from Mass given ICE raids; 2 parish properties within his Diocese were targets of ICE in the last… pic.twitter.com/OIbcGjTBMk

Imagine if early Christians stopped going to Mass because of fear of Roman persecution. Yet in the West, we now receive “dispensations” for fear of immigration enforcement. Our faith in the West has grown weak, and sadly, many bishops no longer teach us to fight for our faith,… pic.twitter.com/XpndpEjpNU

I don’t think a single bishop ever dispensed a Christian from their Sunday obligations during the Roman persecutions – and Trump ain’t no Diocletian! pic.twitter.com/uQ9YVAb05X

Thank you to all those who have posted your your incredible prayers and support.
As I begin building a new Catholic media mission, I’d love your help in choosing a new name:
What would you name a news apostolate that covers the Church and the world from a Catholic perspective? pic.twitter.com/xciRd9O9g3

Pope Leo makes a direct ask for cash today.
Many believe his election — the first American pope — was partly to restore financial support from U.S. Catholics alienated by Francis’ clear disdain for America and tradition.
Lay leaders tell me: they’re watching his next moves very… pic.twitter.com/zGmf4Yy3ld

The underlying message that Catholics received from Vatican 2 was that the Church had changed with the times, and that much of her heritage was old and musty and no longer of any use; also that much of what she had taken for granted as true was not so.

I'm not here speaking of…

The popesplainers are coping hard to try and explain away Pope Francis' gaffe re the cancellation of TLM.

Never go full popesplainer, you will always end up looking like an idiot.

Certain “journalists” spent the last 12 years trying to malign Pope Francis, and now, even in death, continue trying to taint his legacy by using unnamed sources, spurious documents, and half-truths that prove nothing. Pope Francis was absolutely correct in issuing Traditionis… pic.twitter.com/PuWlSkYtSL

I've read the document (in Italian) that Diane Montagna has posted, summing up the bishops' responses, solicited by Pope Francis, on questions regarding the implementation and the results of Summorum Pontificum.

If anybody says it is a bogus document, all I can say is that that…

Pope Francis said that the "illness of nostalgia" was part of his reasoning for issuing Traditionis custodes: “The danger today is indietrismo, the reaction against the modern. It is a nostalgic disease. This is why I decided that now the permission to celebrate according to the… pic.twitter.com/IbK0IFPZB9

If the Vatican wants to defend the legacy of Pope Francis it really should publish the results of the Summorum Pontificum survey of Bishops in full.

Pope Francis’s suppression of the Latin Mass was an insult to his predecessor Benedict XVI and brought about bitter division within the Church. Now we have confirmation of what many already suspected – that the pope’s rationalization of his policy was based on a brazen lie https://t.co/Xu9JNKORCC

— Edward Feser (@FeserEdward) July 1, 2025

The justification for Pope Francis rescinding the Traditional Latin Mass was predicated on the lie that the world’s bishops demanded it. @dianemontagna has the receipts showing, they said the exact opposite. (As she and we reported at the time, for the record). https://t.co/kcOFB6qtvD
