Jonathan and David, the Centurion and the Servant: the Pope's neo-preacher promotes an imaginative biblical exegesis to normalise homosexuality. The significant proximity to Father Rupnik and the Aletti Centre. Two more points for the Fiducia supplicans team.

Cardinal De Kesel glorifies world that ‘converts’ the Church

At long last thanks to modernity we can understand the Gospel: for the Belgian Archbishop Emeritus the secular cultureis a positive turning point but forgets that a secularised society is not neutral with respect to God, but is without God. This too is worldliness.

Vatican pays gay pride and sex toys artist to design Jubilee mascot

Ecclesia 29_10_2024

Barely presented and already in the eye of the storm: Luce(Light) the name of the Jubilee 2025 mascot which not only resembles Greta Thumberg, but was designed by the artist Simone Legno, well known for his popular Tokidokibrand but also for having produced gay pride gadgets and a line of vibrators. Did Monsignor Fisichella's Dicastery for Evangelisation really not know that?

Synod’s end opens door to New Synodal Order for a new Church

An interlocutory document, adopted by the Pope, concludes the work of the Synod. But what is considered by some to be a step backwards compared to the expected progressive openings, is actually a sign that what is wanted is the synodal process that, without haste, will create a new Church.

ANALYSIS

The African case explains the chaos a synodal Church produces

As questions continue to arise over the Church’s understanding of the process and meaning of “Synodality,” the notable case of Africa’s response to Fiducia Supplicans suggests that implementing Synodality will simply create division, by allowing contradictory practices to exist in the Church.

Halloween concert to honour Satan staged in Italian church

In the church of San Dionigi in Vigevano northern Italy, on loan by the diocese to a banking foundation, a concert in honour of the devil will be held on the night of Halloween, complete with devilish dress code. The curia, when questioned by the Daily Compass, pleads its ignorance, but will make enquiries. The prophecy of the Holy Curé d'Ars comes true

INDEFECTIBILITY

If the Church adhered to an anti-pope it would already be over

Peaceful and universal adherence is not a mere papistopinion, but a dogmatic fact that guarantees who the legitimate Pontiff is, not whether he is good or bad. And it is so closely linked to Revelation that denied the former, the latter collapses as well.

ANALYSIS

Vatican-China, extending the agreement damages Catholic Church

Beijing and the Holy See have announced a four-year extension to the secret agreement on bishop appointments and administration of the Chinese Church, first signed in 2018.

It takes more than priests and laity to declare a Pope illegitimate

The peaceful and universal adherence of the Church would not apply to Francis, for those who support the invalidity of his election, given the presence of discordant voices. Which, however, are not sufficient: if this were the case, no pontificate would be safe.


Universal acceptance of the Pope is always valid
Polemic against Francis

Universal acceptance of the Pope is always valid

There is a growing number of individuals and religious who are rejecting the legitimacy of Pope Francis. According to them, the Church's acceptance of the elected Pontiff is contradicted by the case of the antipope John XXIII (Baldassarre Cossa) with the support of other historical references. On the contrary, when put to the test, the arguments don’t prove their thesis.
