Cardinal Müller on Strickland’s Sacking: “It’s an abuse of the Divine Right of the Episcopate.”

November 11, 2023 breaking, Uncategorized Comments Off on Cardinal Müller on Strickland’s Sacking: “It’s an abuse of the Divine Right of the Episcopate.”

What is being done to Bishop Strickland is terrible, an abuse of the divine right of the episcopate. If I could advise Mgr Strickland, he should absolutely not resign, because then they could wash their hands of his innocence. [Note: Which is why Strickland refused to resign, and was sacked.] According to the commandment of justice, a bishop can only be removed by the Pope if he has been guilty of something evil (heresy, schism, apostasy, crime, or a totally non-priestly behavior), for example the pseudo-benediction that insults God and deceives people about their salvation – blessing people of opposite or the same sex in extramarital relationships. Arbitrary dismissal from the post of bishop of a diocese in which 

After Three Weeks Of Drama . . . House GOP Chooses Speaker Who Doesn’t Look Dramatic At All

By DEXTER DUGGAN If it takes the United States at least two years to elect a president, or maybe four years or longer, maybe it’s not catastrophic that it takes the members of the U.S. House of Representatives three weeks to choose their speaker.The campaign for the presidency has about become everlasting. No sooner has the quadrennial choice been finalized than strategists, prognosticators, and journalists cast their gaze ahead to the next one or even farther into the future.So perhaps it’s not disastrous that after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) surprisingly was removed on October 3, it took until October 25 to consider other possibilities before unanimous first-ballot acceptance of a new speaker with the unremarkable-sounding name of Mike Johnson…Continue Reading

So, she substituted the dead child for the living child of the…Continue Reading

A Simple Question for Pope Francis . . . Has the Church Changed Its Teaching on The Reception of Holy Communion?

June 29, 2022 Frontpage, Uncategorized Comments Off on A Simple Question for Pope Francis . . . Has the Church Changed Its Teaching on The Reception of Holy Communion?

__ Joseph Matt, Publisher Less than a month ago, the Courageous archbishop of San Francisco, the Most Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, proclaimed in a letter that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not be able to receive Holy Communion in her Archdiocese of San Francisco. Many bishops offered their support to the bishop and indicated they would enforce the same action in their own dioceses. Since these actions and the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, House Speaker Pelosi has become even more defiant and vocal against her Church and anyone else who stands in opposition to her obsessive support of abortion. This past week the world witnessed another scandal in the throes of the Vatican. The Speaker of the…Continue Reading

Rome, 16 July 2021 Dear Brothers in the Episcopate, Just as my Predecessor Benedict XVI did with Summorum Pontificum, I wish to accompany the Motu proprio Traditionis custodes with a letter explaining the motives that prompted my decision. I turn to you with trust and parresia, in the name of that shared “solicitude for the whole Church, that contributes supremely to the good of the Universal Church” as Vatican Council II reminds us.[1]

By JOSEPH MATT Almost ten years ago, The Wanderer approached Don Fier about writing a column that would undertake the task of explaining in detail and elaborating on each facet of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Our hope was to expound on and highlight this beautiful treasure of our Faith — the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This week Don completed the monumental task of penning an in-depth explanation of the contents of the complete Catechism of the Catholic Church by submitting his final column for the series. Thanks to the work of Mr. Fier, perhaps we have helped to fill a small portion of the void experienced by millions of uncatechized Catholics. It is our hope that we…Continue Reading

Neither Left Nor Right, But Catholic… The Left’s Suppression Of Free Speech

February 2, 2021 Uncategorized Comments Off on Neither Left Nor Right, But Catholic… The Left’s Suppression Of Free Speech

Neither Left Nor Right, But Catholic…The Left’s Suppression Of Free Speech By STEPHEN M. KRASON We are currently witnessing an assault on free speech in the U.S. that is certainly the most extreme that I have witnessed in my lifetime. As even a cursory examination of the developments shows, the assault is coming almost completely from the left. The examples are too numerous to list.Some of the more outrageous ones are these: Certain Democratic officeholders, joined by their minions on social media, calling for conservative media such as Breitbart to be censored; the push to censor speech if people will be “offended” by it; a journalist on Yahoo calling for the banning of conservative journalists; the targeting of television cable…Continue Reading

Archbishop Cordileone’s Response to Speaker Pelosi’s Comments About Pro-Life Voters

January 22, 2021 breaking, Uncategorized Comments Off on Archbishop Cordileone’s Response to Speaker Pelosi’s Comments About Pro-Life Voters

On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized prolife voters who voted for Donald Trump on the abortion issue, saying their votes cause her “great grief as a Catholic” and accusing them of “being willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue.” Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco, issued the following statement in response: “To begin with the obvious: Nancy Pelosi does not speak for the Catholic Church.  She speaks as a high-level important government leader, and as a private citizen.  And on the question of the equal dignity of human life in the womb, she also speaks in direct contradiction to a fundamental human right that Catholic teaching has consistently championed for…Continue Reading

By JOSEPH MATT                 Today we live in a culture that derides and denigrates the noble and essential role of motherhood in our society. One need look no further than the scourge of abortion for proof – in today’s world motherhood is no longer held in high esteem even ridiculed and outright rejected in the case of abortion. In any God fearing civil society, it can be argued motherhood is one of the greatest accomplishments attainable for a woman – after all, the greatest triumph of any human was done so by a woman – we know her as the Mother of Jesus.  How many great men and woman throughout history credit the influence of their mother for their character…Continue Reading
