Some Personal Reflections on the Late Cardinal Caffarra

September 7, 2017 World News Comments Off on Some Personal Reflections on the Late Cardinal Caffarra

As Steve Skojec reported this morning, our beloved Cardinal Carlo Caffarra died today, in Italy. Our hearts are broken over this news since he was such a lovable and charitable and truthful man for us. Just to know that he was out there, giving his support for our work, always meant so much. Steve Skojec also pointed out how Cardinal Caffarra died almost exactly 60 days after Cardinal Joachim Meisner, and nearly on the same day of the month (Meisner had died on 5 July, Caffarra on 6 September). But, there are even more striking parallels. Cardinal Meisner died the day after he had talked over the phone with Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s about his own dismissal as the Prefect of the Congregation…Continue Reading

Bishop Schneider: The Pope who ‘seems to’ permit adultery bears a ‘grave responsibility’

September 2, 2017 World News Comments Off on Bishop Schneider: The Pope who ‘seems to’ permit adultery bears a ‘grave responsibility’

POLAND, August 31, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia “seems to” go in the direction of a pastoral “discernment” that “allows the adulterers to continue in adultery,” says Bishop Athanasius Schneider. The consequences for many could be eternal damnation, Schneider warned. “We cannot play with our eternity. As the Proverb said, ‘We cannot play with fire.’” And the pope bears “grave responsibility” for this situation, the auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, said during a recent Tradition, Faith and Property conference in Poland. The bishop was responding to the question of how pries

August 26, 2017 World News Comments Off on Australian priest rips confession proposal as government ‘intrusion’

An Australian priest has called the Royal Commission’s recent proposal to enforce law requiring that clergy face criminal charges if they do not disclose details of sexual abuse revealed in the confessional a breach of religious tolerance. Fr. Kelvin Lovegrove, Episcopal Vicar for Clergy in the Archdiocese of Sydney, told EWTN News Aug. 24 that he was “surprised” by the suggestion made by the Royal Commission that priests be forced “to break the law in regard to the Seal of Confession.” “Australia is religiously tolerant country, and many people have emigrated to Australia from other countries so that they can freely practice their faith,” he sai

Vatican’s youth synod looks like another assault on the Catholic faith

August 24, 2017 World News Comments Off on Vatican’s youth synod looks like another assault on the Catholic faith

August 24, 2017 (Voice of the Family) – Earlier this year the Synod Secretariat released a preparatory document, and accompanying questionnaire for the world’s bishops, ahead of the October 2018 synod on “Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment.” It is now clear to all objective observers that the two “synods on the family”, held in 2014 and 2015, were intended from the beginning to try to force changes in Catholic teaching on marriage and the family. The process culminated in the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, promulgated by Pope Francis in April 2016, which contains numerous heretical propositions. The Synod Secr

Pope Francis: Liturgical reform is irreversible

August 24, 2017 World News Comments Off on Pope Francis: Liturgical reform is irreversible

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis gave an important address on the liturgical reform on Thursday, speaking to participants of the 68th Italian National Liturgical Week. The liturgical reform, he said, did not “flourish suddenly,” but was the result of a long preparation. It was brought to maturity by the Second Vatican Council with the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, “whose lines of general reform respond to real needs and to the concrete hope of a renewal; it desired a living liturgy for a Church completely vivified by the mysteries celebrated.” The direction marked out by the Council, the Pope continued, found expression in the revised liturgical books promulgated by Blessed Paul VI. But “it is not enough to reform…Continue Reading

August 20, 2017 World News Comments Off on Cardinal Sarah urges faithful to resist ‘revolutionaries’ who attack faith and family

At a memorial Mass honoring the martyrs of the Vendée region in France, Cardinal Robert Sarah challenged Catholics to oppose “the modern persecutors of the Church,” and warned that today’s attack on the faith is centered on a bid to undermine the family. In his homily—which was reproduced in full by the French publication Famille Chrétienne—Cardinal Sarah paid tribute to the marytrs who were massacred in the aftermath of the
