Today, Leo XIV has appointed eight new members to the Vatican’s Council for the Economy. It is responsible for supervising the Holy See’s financial and administrative structures. He confirmed Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx as coordinator of the body. Furthermore, Leo XIV confirmed German law professor Charlotte Kreuter-Kirchhof as vice-coordinator. She participated in the German Synodal Way, personally advocating the involvement of the faithful in episcopal selection. She urged delegates that implementation could begin without waiting for Rome: “You don't have to wait for anything or anyone.” The new members include four cardinals: Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, Archbishop of Kraków, Poland; Cardinal Ladislav Nemet, S.V.D., Archbishop of Belgrade, Serbia; Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, O.P., Archbishop of Algiers, Algeria; and Cardinal Roberto Repole, Archbishop of Turin and Bishop of Susa, Italy. Leo XIV also appointed four lay members: Denis Duverne, president of the Supervisory Board of the …Lokwengentiwe
– Folha de S. Paulo, November 13, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Having always avoided partisan battles, I had planned to stay silent on the shifting dynamics of the succession debates. This was especially true since, until recently, the ideological differences between the two candidates were vague — almost intangible—and therefore did not warrant serious commentary. Aside from a doctrinal perspective, any interference on my part in this great “brouhaha” would be pointless. I don’t have a structured constituency to lend political weight to my statement, and my role in the Brazilian public sphere is purely ideological or doctrinal. It so happens, however, that in recent weeks, the landscape of political controversy has experienced notable shifts. For quite some time, Mr. Tancredo Neves’s public stance leaned left, with only occasional right-wing statements meant to reassure conservative voters in his home region. Mr. Paulo Maluf, on the other hand, maintained a subtly right-leaning …Lokwengentiwe
Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in as president of Colombia on August 7 in a ceremony reflecting his Catholic faith. Succeeding left-wing President Gustavo Petro, he took the oath at Santiago de Cali University, accompanied by his wife, their four children, and members of his government team. An image of Our Lady of Fatima stood prominently on the stage. De la Espriella concluded by asking God to bless his children and declaring: “Everything for the homeland… Stand firm for the homeland! Long live Christ the King!”

Video Captures Cathedral Collapse: A powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia on August 10. In Manizales, the earthquake caused significant damage to the city’s Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. Dramatic video shows the massive cathedral shaking violently as part of one of its domes collapses. The historic neo-Gothic building is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Manizales. More than 160 people have been reported dead, while rescue operations continue across the affected regions.
Colombia: la Catedral de Manizales, gravemente afectada por un terremoto de magnitud 7,4 Las imágenes son impactantes: bajo la violencia de los fuertes temblores, varios elementos de las torres de la Catedral Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Manizales se desprenden y caen. Uno de los monumentos católicos más emblemáticos de Colombia ha sufrido graves daños a causa del potente terremoto que sacudió el oeste del país el lunes 10 de agosto.
Every 29 June, within St Peter’s Basilica, one of the most striking Catholic traditions returns. The vesting of the statue of Saint Peter, including the cope and the tiara.
The Vatican's reasoning for the ban on lay preaching is "not entirely consistent," Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz told Katholisch.de on August 11. "The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Lay Preaching Is No Problem In the Diocese of Mainz, occasional lay preaching has become an established practice and Bishop Kohlgraf has no intention of changing that. In some parishes, "it is customary for laypeople to preach," he said. "If I hear about it, I won't take disciplinary action or impose canonical sanctions." "Denunciations" Are a Problem Bishop Kohlgraf is concerned that the directive from Rome could encourage "denunciations": "There are people who report liturgical violations straight to the bishop and write directly to me. That happened before too - individual people would complain to me - but …Lokwengentiwe
"The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. So the Prefect for Liturgy is careless to the point of being goofy. But what self-respecting Catholic, much less a bishop, can use this for an excuse?
Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz criticised the Vatican’s June 17 ruling upholding the ban on lay preaching at Mass as “not entirely coherent”. He noted that lay preaching has become common practice and said he would neither intervene nor impose canonical sanctions.
To celebrate the 1,250th anniversary of the Westphalian State in Germany, a performance was staged inside Paderborn Cathedral last year. This is one of the acts that was presented, featuring dead chickens wrapped in diapers. Faced with the outrage of the Catholic faithful, archdiocesan authorities apologized and stated that they were unaware of the nature of the performance that was to take place.
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference attended the private funeral of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini in Pavana on Saturday. He delivered an address, published on Avvenire.it (August 8), in which he practically canonized the self-described agnostic. Guccini, 86, had described himself as an “agnostic possibilist.” Zuppi, who was his friend, recalled that the singer had once told him he wanted the cardinal present at his funeral. Addressing Guccini directly, Cardinal Zuppi imagined what the deceased might now be seeing: “We do not know precisely … what you see: the fullness of that light which, in reality, you had already sensed from here and which you were able to glimpse in the poignant and infinite beauty of life.” Cardinal Zuppi portrayed Guccini’s agnostic doubt positively, as an honest search for truth. “Doubt was your way of standing before things without cheating, with integrity,” he said. “You never stopped asking and listening.” …Lokwengentiwe
Trump and his gang of evil doers will pay dearly for every child and newborn who dies in hospitals who need special care. For the children who are harmed one way or another. For those they bombed and killed. And all the innocent civilians that have died or been murdered, in one country or another. Their blood will be on their hands. They will enjoy it all now but pay dearly later.
British Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham is "a non-Catholic Catholic kind of guy", UK-based writer Steven Tucker argues on August 7 on CrisisMagazine.com. Burnham has absorbed a specifically left-wing, Liverpool strain of Catholic Social Teaching that is socialism in disguise. Main points: Archbishop Derek Worlock (1920–1996) of Liverpool had a significant influence on Burnham during his youth. As an altar boy, Burnham played tapes of Worlock's sermons in which he criticised the central government for neglecting the North West. Burnham considered the "vast majority" of staff at his Catholic schools to be Labour supporters who encouraged him in that direction. In 2012, Burnham said that "what I used to read in the catechism - the realisation of it on Earth - was the Labour Party'. He has campaigned, voted and marched for homosex "marriage", homosex adoption and gender policies. He has even supported male access to women's facilities. While mayor of Manchester, he took part in a city …Lokwengentiwe
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …Lokwengentiwe
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke is no coward! ~ We all have been given different lights to follow and he is doing an excellent job spreading the faith. ~ Our Lady of Guadalupe guide & protect Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. ~ Check out An open letter to confused Catholics by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre "It has also been said that after me, my work will disappear because there will be no bishop to replace me. I am certain of the contrary; I have no worries on that account. I may die tomorrow, but the Good Lord answers all problems. Enough bishops will be found in the world to ordain our seminarians: this I know. Even if at the moment he is keeping quiet, one or another of these bishops will receive from the Holy Ghost the courage needed to arise in his turn. If my work is of God, He will guard it and use it for the good of the Church. Our Lord has promised us, the gates of Hell shall not prevail against her.

That's what you call a follower. Always wants to be part of the crowd and fit in. With a weak mind who can't think, for themselves and to avoid problems with them. That's a real pity. The only time you would ever see me following anyone was when I couldn't talk my friends out of something. So I would go to watch over them to try and stop any problems or protecting them. A friend of over 60 years just mentioned that to me last night in an email.
German Balloon Mass with Female Dialogue Homily: On 22 July, a Eucharist in Munich to celebrate the Feast of St Mary Magdalene featured a woman performing a liturgical dance in a red dress. Another woman wearing an alb and a stole-like liturgical scarf delivered a dialogue homily with Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof and stood near the altar during the Eucharist. Red balloons were also used during the celebration.

Cardinal McElroy has banned the installation of new Altar rails and discourages temporary kneelers, citing "a disruption of the flow of the Communion line". As you can see here, there is no disruption. Just another garbage excuse to attack the Latin Mass.
I would argue that kneeling and on the tongue is faster and more fluid than standing with Eucharistic minister placing the Eucharist in their dirty hands, stepping to the site, and then placing the host in your own mouth. Two operations as opposed to one so what is he even talking about.
Leo XIV Promoted This Hopping, Dancing Bishop in Mexico: In January 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Trinidad Antonio Márquez Guerrero, 60, as auxiliary bishop of San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico. He was consecrated a bishop on May 8. On Sunday, July 19, he celebrated a Eucharist during the diocesan Youth Day in the bullring in Yahualica, attended by some 1,300 young people. Still wearing his mitre and liturgical vestments, he started hopping and dancing around like an overexcited young person.
