"It would be unfair to ask God to help me and not the other team": At a press conference on 13 July, Spain's football coach, Luis de la Fuente, said that he prays every day. He doesn't ask for victory, but thanks God for life, good health and the strength to persevere. Ahead of Spain's World Cup semi-final against France, he said that it would be unfair to ask God to help his team and not their opponents. Spain went on to defeat France 2–0 and advance to the World Cup final.
Before Spain’s 2–0 victory against France, the head coach spoke openly about his deep faith “It would be unfair to ask God to help me and not the other team”
The “methodology” of the consistories under Leo XIV risks undermining open debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin on CardinalNews.substack.com (July 15) [as if the problem were not the content and personnel policy]. Cardinal Burke said dissent in the small groups is excluded because the reports reflect only “what every cardinal agreed upon,” meaning significant minority views may be omitted. Overall, he described the consistory as a “very controlled” process, with pre-selected discussion leaders and limited opportunities for free intervention. “Synodality Has to Be Stopped” Turning to the growing use of “synodality” in the Church, Cardinal Burke questioned its theological and historical basis: “There is no definition of synodality, there’s no history of it in the Church.” His concern is the merging of established structures, such as consistories, with this undefined concept, “We have to insist that this whole synodality business stop.” He argued, without laughing, that synodality …ଅଧିକ
French Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, has announced that the government's assisted dying bill will be referred to the Constitutional Council following its expected final approval in the National Assembly on 15 July. This will not prevent the law from being adopted, but it will delay its implementation until the highest constitutional authority in France has ruled on its compliance with the Constitution. Three issues may receive particular scrutiny: - The waiting period until death: Whether a minimum waiting period of two days between approval and confirmation is adequate for such an irreversible decision. - Protected adults: Whether people under guardianship or curatorship are sufficiently protected and capable of giving genuine informed consent. - Conscience clause: Doctors, nurses and healthcare institutions should have sufficient rights to refuse participation. As prime minister, Lecornu should have stopped this project, as he has done with many others. President Emmanuel Macron …ଅଧିକ
Two facts about the blasphemous, apostate, activist Timothy Peter Joseph Radcliffe that prove the complicity between Bergoglio, Prevost, and Radcliffe: The activist Jorge Bergoglio elevated him to the rank of 'cardinal' without him being a bishop, even though he was already an apostate priest known publicly as a formal and obstinate heretic and activist. Radcliffe participated in the invalid 'conclave' that invalidly elected the apostate and activist Prevost. The apostate Robert Prevost retains him in his invalid position despite his public apostasy, for he shares the same rebellion against God and the Church.

Infovaticana: " We are not talking about just any cleric. Timothy Radcliffe not only took part in the conclave: he was the cardinal chosen by Leo XIV to open with his meditation the first consistory of cardinals of his pontificate, in January 2026. We are therefore speaking of one of the figures of greatest doctrinal influence in the Catholic Church today."
The controversial organisation Amnesty International UK published a report on 8 July listing the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales among 117 organizations it described as part of an “anti-rights movement” in the United Kingdom. The report, A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, said the listed organizations formed an ecosystem seeking to undermine the rights of women and homosexuals. It also named the Catholic Medical Association, Premier Christian News, J.K. Rowling’s women-only support service Beira’s Place, and a number of Christian, pro-life, and gender-critical organizations. The report defined “anti-rights actors” as groups, individuals, and public or private bodies seeking to weaken human rights protections in law and practice. The publication drew criticism from a number of the organizations named. Two days after publication, Amnesty International UK withdrew the report. It said the document had been published without passing the organization's …ଅଧିକ
Anik Singal Someone built a Chrome extension that fact-checks politicians while they're still talking. It's called InTruth, made by a Reddit user as a research project on AI and deception. Point it at a live debate, interview, or press conference. It transcribes the speech in real time, pulls sources from the open web, then sends everything to Claude for a verdict. True, misleading, or false tagged before the next sentence even starts. No waiting for tomorrow's fact-check articles. No "we'll get back to you on that." The lie gets caught in the same breath it's told. That's insane lol. facebook.com/…-politicians-while-theyre-still/101…
Politicians do not lie nearly as often as people think they do. They make statements in such a way as to lead people to infer things which are not true, which is remarkably easy.
Today, Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered an address at the European Parliament in Brussels. He noted that the European Union uses development aid and international agreements to export abortion and gender ideology to African nations. He spoke of "ideological colonization", arguing that modern Europe increasingly seeks to influence African legislation through trade agreements, development assistance, and diplomatic pressure. Words Have a Meaning Opening his address, Sarah questioned whether Europe and Africa still share a common understanding of the language that dominates international diplomacy. "Can we still understand each other? Do the words we use - human rights, dignity, development, freedom, health, gender, family - still mean the same thing to those who pronounce them in Brussels, Strasbourg, Kampala, or Conakry?" Inconsistency Is Deliberate One of his examples is the expression “sexual and reproductive health” that often means abortion. Another example is the term “gender equality …ଅଧିକ
Today, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Italian born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 75, of Huacho, Peru. No successor was appointed. The resignation follows allegations of homosexual misconduct. In April 2026, InfoVaticana.com had reported that complaints had been submitted to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima and to the Vatican, accusing Santarsiero of homosexually abusing a former minor seminarian and a priest who had served as his secretary. As usual, Santarsiero has categorically denied all allegations. The seminarian claimed Santarsiero subjected him to unwanted sexual contact and used promises of scholarships, employment, and opportunities within the diocese to exercise influence over him. The former secretary to Santarsiero alleges that the bishop subjected him to unwanted physical contact and psychological manipulation. According to the dossier, the priest also claims Santarsiero attempted to discredit him by spreading claims about his sexual orientation after he rejected …ଅଧିକ

Barnhardt Blog: There were FOUR Canonists jumping up and down declaring that the whole “Pope emeritus” thing was an ontological impossibility, and that only resigning the ministry of the active governance of the Church and not the Office (munus) was invalid in toto. Those Canonists were: —Manuel Jesus Arroba, a professor of canon law at the Pontifical Lateran University, who raised the alarm only TWO DAYS after Pope Benedict’s announcement. —Former rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Jesuit Gianfranco Ghirlanda, published a lengthy article on March 2, ARSH 2013 refuting the possibility of a “Pope emeritus”. —Valerio Gigliotti, a professor of the history of European law at the University of Torino. —Fr.

"It is obviously possible to be fully Catholic while living the sacramental life according to the books of 1962. It is absolutely unacceptable to affirm the contrary", Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told the organisers of the Chartres pilgrimage ‘Notre-Dame de Chrétienté’ in a July 14 YouTube.com video. And: "The liturgy according to the usus antiquior of the Roman Rite is an inestimable treasure of the Church which must be preserved and cherished because it is intimately linked to the very identity of the Roman Catholic Church." Cardinal Burke argued that the Roman rite has proven to be a powerful instrument of evangelization: “It is evident that this liturgy is missionary," he said. "This is seen by its fruits today as in centuries past, because it attracts through its sense of the sacred and transcendence." He added that this is "particularly evident with the younger generation," which he said has "a profound hunger for the spiritual in an increasingly horizontal world." Vatican II …ଅଧିକ
He speaks with forked tongue. Because it's not just about the Liturgy. It's also about VCII and the gross apostasy and heresies running rampant throughout the Church; and the abandonment of the Deposit of Faith by her leadership.

Cardinal Müller Misrecites Latin during Ordination: On 4 July, during the ordination of three priests for the Institut du Bon Pasteur in Courtalain, France, Cardinal Müller said "manus" ("hand") instead of "munus" ("office" or "ministry"). The correct wording would have been: "...so that they may persevere in this office."
Cardinal Müller said "manus" instead of "munus. Müller was supposed to say: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti munus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants with the dignity of the Priesthood; do Thou renew in their hearts the spirit of holiness, so that they may persevere in this office, which is next to ours in dignity, since they have received it from Thee, O God. May the example of their lives lead others to moral uprightness.”) Instead, Müller actually said: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti manus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants …ଅଧିକ
A few days ago, in a KTV interview regarding the FSSPX, he stated that it was a "liturgical impossibility" for the Superior General, as a priest, to preach before bishops during an episcopal ordination. And yet, he himself utters an incorrect term during the Consecration. Well, as long as no priest preached there, it certainly isn't a "liturgical impossibility" according to the Cardinal's definition....
