Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington D.C. authorised monthly lay "commentary" during the Eucharist at the Jesuit parish of Holy Trinity in Georgetown, according to BigModernism.Substack.com (July 28). The blog published a letter dated 4 February 2026 and signed by Fr James Casciotti, SJ. The letter responds to concerns raised by a correspondent about the parish's liturgical practices. Fr Casciotti addresses several issues, including chatting until just before the Eucharist. The key passage states: "You should know that the Cardinal has given permission for lay commentary once a month at Holy Trinity [...]". The letter does not identify the cardinal by name. In February 2026, Cardinal Robert McElroy was Archbishop of Washington, having been appointed in January 2025 and installed in March 2025. Separately, the blog cites a firsthand account from a reader alleging that the practice involved a woman delivering what functioned as the homily during Mass under the name "commentary."

Of course evil will support other evil. The Bullies gather to cripple Russia so they can make an easy fall in Russia. But that's not going to work at all. Every time they put sanctions on Russia, what is it up to now? Over 40,000 Sanctions? It was the US and Europe who paid the heavy price. When they blew up Norstream, Russia found another oil field. When trump stole two oil tankers from Russia, Russia found another oil field. When they put all those sanctions on Russia and they stole their money, Russia's GDP rose to 3rd or fourth place. And the list goes on and on. So, let the bullies all gather and plot and plan to destroy Russia. In the end it will be Russia who will the winner in many more ways.

“Homosexual Acts Are Particularly Detestable in God’s Sight”: Cardinal Joseph Zen, 94, of Hong Kong wrote on his blog on July 27 about the evil forces that tempt us, including the inclinations of the flesh. “Of course, ethics and morality aren't just about the Sixth and Ninth Commandments, but sins of this kind are the easiest to become addicted to. Especially those LGBTQ sins - they utterly violate the Creator's plan for humanity.” Cardinal Zen added that homosexual acts are “not only called sin in the Bible but are an Abomination (particularly detestable) in God's sight.” He also writes: “The merciful God also rained down fire to destroy Sodom.”

(LifeSiteNews) Under Fauci’s leadership, the NIAID approved funding for horrific experiments that involved grafting aborted babies’ scalps onto the backs of lab rats, pro-lifer David Daleiden noted. Just hours before Dr. Anthony Fauci is to appear before a Senate hearing chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, pro-life hero David Daleiden took to social media to highlight the link between the former COVID chief and a horrifying study sponsored by his NIH agency — the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — in which aborted baby scalps were grafted onto lab rats. “Dr. Fauci copied a cover-up headline into his diary disputing his role in a study that grafted 5-month aborted baby scalps onto lab rats,” noted Daleiden, yet, “3 weeks earlier, Fauci swore to Congress his NIAID funded the study ‘with the appropriate oversight and guidelines.'” “You can actually see the photographs in the published study of little baby scalps grafted onto the backs of lab rats growing little baby …ပိုမို

Pro-homosexual Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, defended "our Muslim neighbors' right to worship" in a July 27 statement. He had heard in recent weeks concerns from some residents regarding the proposal to build a mosque and community center in Albuquerque's North Valley. "Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own. Defending that right is not only a civic duty but a core element of Catholic teaching", the Archbishop wrote. According to Monsignor Wester, supporting the construction of a mosque is entirely consistent with Catholic tradition and moral commitments. He urged Catholics to "choose respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence." In 2025, it emerged that, Archbishop Wester promoted and lived with a priest who had spent ten years in a registered homosexual relationship. Picture: AI, #newsXofkbkkgnx
New Zealand to Build First New Cathedral in Over 120 Years: The Diocese of Christchurch has unveiled the design for the new Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, which will stand on the site of the original cathedral destroyed after the devastating Canterbury earthquakes (2010-2011).

Partner is the architecture firm Warren and Mahoney. The style is "an ancient design, a Romanesque and Gothic hybrid model".

Ancient Chinese Writings Recorded the Death of Christ?! Did ancient Chinese emperors record the exact day of the crucifixion?! History books from the Han Dynasty describe an eclipse where "the sins of all under heaven are now on one man." Even wilder? NASA’s historical data confirms a lunar eclipse on April 3, 33 AD, the date some scholars pinpoint for the crucifixion. Is this the ultimate historical crossover, or just a massive coincidence? What do you think? Drop your thoughts below! Is there another historical occurrence like this? #faithandfriction#faithandfrictionpodcast

Today, Rev. Francis Xavier Duan Yongkun, 45, was consecrated a bishop. The Vatican announced only today that Pope Leo XIV had appointed him on June 15 as Coadjutor Bishop of Bameng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China.

Rev. Gerald Murray Questions Vatican's Rupnik Trial: The New York-based canon lawyer criticises the lack of transparency in the Vatican's canonical trial against Marko Rupnik. "Why don't we know who the judges are?" he asked talking to Raymond Arroyo on 25 July. Rev Murray also pointed out that "we don't know which charges" are being levelled against Rupnik. Finally, he argues that victims who provided evidence should have the right to participate in the process. "The whole thing is a horrific problem."

These are particularly delicate works. Matisse made these large cartoons by applying and gluing colored, cut papers onto a base support, a technique that makes the material especially sensitive to temperature changes and, above all, to humidity. Again according to reports, the malfunction caused hot and humid air to enter the room just as Rome was experiencing extreme temperatures outside. Some photos taken by tour guides …ပိုမို
