"Preserving the precious treasure of the traditional liturgy is part of preserving the Deposit of Faith," Bishop Athanasius Schneider said in his homily on August 2 in Limerick, Ireland, at the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. He is currently celebrating Mass and delivering talks in various locations across Ireland, including Cobh, Leixlip, Monaghan and Ardee. Previously, he was in Africa. In July, he led the golden jubilee celebrations of the Congregation of the Mothers and Missionaries of the Holy Cross in Puma, Tanzania. Interfering with the Liturgy Destroys Religion In Sunday's homily, Bishop Schneider recalled that "history has proved a thousand times that there is nothing more dangerous for a religion - nothing more likely to result in discontent, unrest, division, and apostasy - than interference with the liturgy and, consequently, with religious sensibility." He recalled the apostolic rule: "Antiquity was retained. Novelty was rejected." Quoting Dom Prosper Guéranger …Ossotina
03.08.2025 CARDINAL AND BISHOPS IN PAKISTAN SAY OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION ACCORDING TO VATICAN COUNCIL II INTERPRETED RATIONALLY. No denial of reports on Internet The cardinals and bishops in Pakistan are saying outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, according to Vatican Council II interpreted only rationally. Ad Gentes 7 is aligned with extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 845-846, while LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, Gs 22 etc in Vatican Council II are not practical exceptions for AG 7, EENS, CCC 845-846 and the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass. The Catholic Church is compared, by St. Thomas Aquinas, to a ship in which all need to enter for salvation, similar to the Ark of Noah. This is the pre and post Conciliar teaching. This teaching will be taught at the Catechetical Centers and educational institutions in Pakistan. This was the teaching over the …Ossotina
Leo XIV approved Cardinal Arthur Roche's text against the Traditional Latin Mass, reaffirming Francis' Traditionis Custodes, reports LaRazon.es on August 2. The text was distributed to about 170 cardinals at the January 7 consistory. Key phrase: "This newspaper has been able to confirm that the cardinal distributed the text at the request of Leo XIV and therefore with the Pope's approval of its contents." According to the newspaper, Cardinal Roche and officials from his dicastery drafted the document at the Pope's request. Leo XIV then personally reviewed it. "He did not change a single comma," Vatican sources said, adding that "the distribution of the document to the cardinals was intended to make the new Pope's position on this issue visible." The one-and-a-half-page document defended Traditionis Custodes, describing Tradition as a "living river" rather than a static preservation of past forms. It claimed that the Novus Ordo is fully consistent with authentic Tradition. Picture: Arthur …Ossotina

The Antilles Episcopal Conference published a Pastoral Letter on Sexual and Gender Identity on 26 July (full text below). Main quotes. - We must resist narratives that suggest the human person is a self-made project, detached from biological reality or moral order. - The human body is not an accessory to identity. - The confusion of our times - driven by ideologies that detach the body from identity, treat desire as destiny, and blur sexual difference - compels us to offer the light of the Gospel and the wisdom of Christian anthropology. - The body is not a barrier to identity but a revelation of it. It is through our male or female embodiment that our unique personhood and our capacity for relationship are revealed. - It is a scientific fact, not a social construct, that human beings are sexually dimorphic. - Sex, then, is not arbitrarily 'assigned' at birth; it is determined at conception through the presence or absence of the SRY gene. If activated, the gene initiates the development …Ossotina

"The Church is, at least in the West, in a time of great difficulty, even of confusion, both at the doctrinal level and at the moral and disciplinary level", Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlFoglio.it on August 2. For Cardinal Sarah, it is "a tragedy, indeed a real and proper sin", that there is "a kind of war" and "fierce conflicts" over the liturgy. Main quote: "No one has authority over the rites, which arise from the centuries-long history of the Church. The rites cannot be arbitrarily abolished, and no one can say that a rite no longer exists from one day to the next." The Cardinal wants to return to Benedict XVI.'s Summorum Pontificum, which allows the Mass in the Roman rite alongside the Novus Ordo: "Over the decades, the holy people of God will be able to choose which form best corresponds to their need for faith, silence and spirituality." He added: "Some excesses on the part of those attached to the extraordinary form are, in part, justified by the dramatic and widespread abuses …Ossotina
J.K. Rowling: If you don’t think he’s a woman, you’re transphobic. When he claimed to be a woman, he became a woman. He now belongs in women’s changing rooms, bathrooms, hospital wards, prison cells and rape support centres. If you try and differentiate between him and a trans woman who looks more convincing as a woman, you are promoting patriarchal beauty norms. If you admit to seeing an aggressive and possibly unbalanced man in this video, you’re saying all trans people are mentally ill predators. If you refuse to let him into female-only spaces, you’re removing his right to exist. If you suggest he could comfortably use male facilities, you secretly want him assaulted. If you refuse to call him ‘she’, you are guilty of unpardonable cruelty. If you’re a woman who wouldn’t want to share a locker room with him, or a man who wouldn’t want your daughter, sister or mother to get undressed in close proximity to him, you belong to the far-right. If you point out that there is no objective …Ossotina
Biologe: Bill Gates ‘Zerstört’ Gesamtes Ökosystem mit Mückenagenda David Lindfield 1. August 2026 - 12:54 Uhr Der renommierte Wildbiologe Forrest Galante brach während eines Auftritts in Joe Rogans Podcast aus und beschuldigte Bill Gates und seine Stiftung, durch ein katastrophales Moskitonetzprogramm zur Zerstörung einer der wichtigsten Süßwasserfischereien Afrikas beigetragen zu haben. Galante sagte, die Stiftung habe Millionen dicht gewebter Netze in Gemeinden in der Nähe des Cahora-Bassa-Deltas verteilt, um Malaria zu bekämpfen. Hungernde Bewohner nutzten die Netze jedoch stattdessen zum Fischfang. Da Moskitonetze extrem kleine Löcher enthalten, fing Galante nach eigenen Angaben wahllos Jungfische, bevor diese heranreifen und sich vermehren konnten, und zerstörte damit eine Fischerei, auf die Millionen von Menschen angewiesen waren. ‘Ich werde eine F*cking-Tirade machen’ Galante brachte das Thema zur Sprache, als er mit Rogan über Wildtiere und Naturschutz in Afrika sprach. “Weißt …Ossotina
