France: Bishop officiates at funeral of Macron’s Freemason friend
A church funeral was held for François Patriat, a prominent figure in Freemasonry, Macron’s party and an advocate of abortion and euthanasia. The president himself also delivered a speech in his memory from the pulpit, while the bishop of Dijon officiated at the service. He paid no heed to the deceased’s membership of the Freemasons and his views on abortion and euthanasia, which the deceased had never publicly renounced.
Sister Clare Crockett, the Saint Thérèse of the 21st century
Not only did she carry out simple daily tasks with extraordinary love, but following her tragic death at the age of 33 in the earthquake in Ecuador, Sister Clare is now working from heaven to bring about conversions, healings and an increase in vocations. Sister Kristen Gardner, postulator of her cause for beatification, attending the Rimini Meeting, talks to the Daily Compass about this
Italian bishops' daily confirms the demise of morality
Avoiding divisive rhetoric on ethical issues and building 'spaces of freedom for conscience', while naturally setting doctrine aside, is a transformation that has been underway for some time. It is now openly declared in the Italian bishops' daily newspaper, Avvenire, by the leaders of the Italian Theological Association for the Study of Morality. Even the Commandments are deemed too ideological and extreme
Pope visits Meeting and the challenge of a faith that becomes culture
Leo XIV is due to speak today at the Meeting for Friendship amongst Peoples. Forty-four years after John Paul II’s visit, the Meeting has undergone various changes linked to the ups and downs of CL. Yet it remains the foremost Catholic cultural event. This is something that Prevost recognises, being convinced – as Wojtyła was – that Catholics must play a leading role in society.
Co-Redemptrix: the fifth dogma that paves the way for peace
Amidst the crises threatening the world and the Church, now is the best time for the Holy See to heed the countless petitions made over the last century calling for the solemn declaration of Mary as the spiritual Mother of all humanity, Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix. This is the key that can pave the way for the triumph of her Immaculate Heart.

Augustine, Irenaeus, Newman, and Mary’s Role in Salvation
The role of the Virgin Mary in human Redemption as seen by three great Doctors of the Church. A truth that needs to be solemnly proclaimed amidst the current doctrinal confusion in order to lead to the peace promised and awaited within the Church and in the world, bringing great graces, as Saint Teresa of Calcutta also hoped.
Lourdes: the Pope arrives and Rupnik disappears
Those controversial mosaics would have been an embarrassing backdrop for the papal visit in September. Instead, the visit is providing an opportunity to complete the steps already taken by Bishop Micas when he had the mosaics partially covered during the Jubilee. They will now be completely covered and will remain so even after Pope Leo XIV’s departure.
Calls for Pope to stop new synodality increase
The open letter from Dutch bishop Mutsaerts is the latest initiative to call on Pope Francis to halt the numerous reckless moves by bishops who, under the pretext of synodality, are distorting Catholic doctrine. The fundamental question that must be answered is: what is the Church?
The Assumption of Mary, a sign of the triumph of the new Eve
In the papal bull containing the solemn dogmatic definition of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven, body and soul, Pius XII explains that this truth is linked to the unique decree of predestination by which the Blessed Virgin is the 'Partner of the Divine Redeemer', the new Eve. Together, they triumphed over sin and death; together they reign in glory.
Bishop imposes gender ideology in Catholic schools: families outraged, Vatican remains silent
It’s happening in Hamburg: ultra-progressive Bishop Hesse, a champion of German synodality, is forcing gender-based sex education courses on Catholic schools, despite parents' objections. They have appealed to the Pope and the Congregation for Bishops. But they have been waiting six months for a response that has not arrived. The courses are due to begin on 20 August.
Funeral exposes dangerous relations between Church and Freemasons
The fact that recognised Freemasons are requesting Catholic funerals is no coincidence. There is a push from the lodges to recognise dual membership, and Monsignor Staglianò is the key figure within the Church for this shift. He himself explained this in Milan in 2024 during a discussion with the Grand Masters of the three Italian lodges.
Freemasons' funerals cancelled. Suetta condemned, Staglianò spared
Following the Daily Compass' exclusive, everyone is pouncing on the two cancelled Freemason funerals in Italy. However, while the Bishop of Sanremo is being criticised by the media and Freemasonry, whereas Bishop Staglianò’s ‘mess up’ is ignored. Without any checks or explanations, he authorised the funeral in Rome, forcing the Secretariat of State and the Pope’s Vicar to rectify his oversight. The news has even disappeared from the Freemasons’ website.
