In the traditional Latin Mass, the sacrificial character is “very strongly visible,” Eduard Habsburg said at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 3. He spent 54 years in the Novus Ordo before discovering the Latin Mass, which “gives you space to sink into prayer and to contemplate and to meditate.” He also contrasted the two forms of the Mass: In the Latin Mass, “the sacrifice is very strongly visible.” But “in today’s Mass it is present but not as much in the forefront as in the Latin Mass.”
Eduard Habsburg, former Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See: “If you follow the Traditional Latin Mass every day, you will notice that the reality of sacrifice, dying for the sins of others, giving your blood for the others — just the sacrifice is very strongly visible.”

The Redemption of Man and the Rejection of “Holy Sex” A Patristic and Scholastic Disputation Against the Modern Exaltation of Carnal Pleasure “The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.” —1 Corinthians 15:45 Prologue: The Question Before Us There is a fundamental question which must be asked before we speak of the holiness of sexual pleasure: What is man? And immediately after that: What became of man through the Fall? For if we begin with fallen man as though his present condition were the standard of human nature, we shall inevitably mistake the wounds of the Fall for the original design of God. This is precisely the danger in the modern exaltation of sexuality. The question is no longer merely: "Is marital intercourse lawful?" The Catholic tradition already answers that question. The more profound question is: "What ought the Christian to desire within the marital act?" And here a profound difference appears between the ascetical tradition …Aktar
Leo XIV’s emphasis on peace and fraternity amounts to “100% Masonic ideology.” Paweł Lisicki, editor-in-chief of the Polish weekly Do Rzeczy, challenges in a October 2 video the claim that Leo XIV’s visit to France signals a Christian revival in Europe. Leo XIV referred to Europe’s Christian roots, but Lisicki argues that the Pope presents Christianity primarily as a source of modern ideals such as human dignity, peace and fraternity, rather than as a call for Europe to return to Catholicism. Lisicki sees this as a profound reversal of Catholic priorities, placing man rather than God, divine truth and salvation at the center. “The glory of man, the dignity of man, has replaced the glory of God,” Lisicki notes, describing recent pontificates as increasingly oriented toward the “false idol” of human dignity. For Lisicki, Leo XIV’s emphasis on interreligious coexistence and on religions serving peace and fraternity represents a secularized redefinition of Christianity—one he describes as …Aktar
Paweł Lisicki ostro krytykuje słowa Leona XIV o roli religii. Papież podkreśla, że żywotność tradycji religijnych przejawia się w służbie pokojowi i braterstwu. Lisicki odpowiada bez ogródek: „100% ideologii masońskiej”. Jego zdaniem takie podejście sprowadza katolicyzm do budowania pokoju i braterstwa między ludźmi, zamiast stawiać w centrum Boga i prawdę religijną
Bishop Schneider: FSSPX Consecrations Do Not Necessarily Constitute "Schism" Bishop Athanasius Schneider has issued his first public statement since Leo XIV declared six FSSPX bishops excommunicated on July 2, published on Diane Montagna's Substack. Schneider had previously appealed for liturgical peace, meeting with Pope Leo XIV in December 2025 and Cardinal Parolin a little over a week before the July 1 episcopal consecration. Bishop Schneider's central claim: in an extraordinary Church crisis, fidelity to unambiguous doctrine and traditional liturgy can outweigh obedience to ecclesiastical law. He opens with St. Athanasius, excommunicated by Pope Liberius in 357 for refusing communion with Arian bishops the Pope himself had recognized under imperial pressure. Athanasius was later canonized as a Doctor of the Church; Liberius was never canonized. Schneider treats Écône as a modern parallel — a forced choice between canonical obedience and doctrinal integrity. Bishop Schneider blames …Aktar
OCTOBER... I come to you with a more peaceful heart, with less desire to control life and with a greater desire to be grateful for it. This month, I don't want to ask for too much. I only want peace, the kind that doesn't depend on what happens outside, but on the tranquility that God places within. I want to wake up grateful for life, for health, for my family, for my home, for the daily bread, and for those little blessings we so often take for granted. I want to learn to look more at what I have and worry less about what I am still missing. October, I want to walk slowly, without desperately worrying about what hasn't arrived, without being anxious about what I cannot control, and without allowing anyone to steal the peace I have worked so hard to find. God by my side. That is what I need. May He guide my steps, protect my family, guide my decisions, and close the doors that are not meant for me. May He give me the wisdom to accept what I cannot change and the courage to transform …Aktar
New Synodal Report: Laity at All Decision-Making Levels Today, the Vatican released the final report of Synodal Study Group 6, which deals with relations between bishops, religious and consecrated life, and lay ecclesial associations. Under a proposal to “establish more synodal structures,” the report calls for “equitable and participatory representation” of consecrated persons and laity “at all decision-making levels” - and: “as full members and not merely as consultants, in diocesan, national, and international commissions, as well as in Vatican dicasteries.” At the diocesan level “it is necessary to allow for broader participation of consecrated persons in the decision-making processes of the local Church.” Women Religious in the Selection of Bishops The report proposes to: “allow women religious to participate in the process of electing bishops responsible for consecrated life at the national and diocesan levels”. It also proposes their participation in the election of chaplains for …Aktar

Poor Jesus. Just as there is nothing sacred in dancing on Calvary, there is nothing sacred in jumping in the presence of Jesus in the holy sacrament. One more hireling leading the flock astray.

Burning Crosses at a Polish Festival: On 26 June, during the Bangarang heavy metal festival in Chwałkowo, Poland, a stage performance included the burning of wooden crosses. A firefighter stood by for fire safety. Local politicians and officials condemned the act as blasphemous and disrespectful of religious feeling.
Płonące krzyże na satanistycznym festiwalu Na festiwalu "Bangarang" w Chwałkowie który odbył się w miniony weekend doszło do skandalicznego wydarzenia i znieważenia chrześcijańskiego symbolu religijnego. Został spalony Krzyż. Pytanie dlaczego nikt o tym nie piszę i nie mówi? Impreza dofinansowana przez lokalne samorządy, promowana głośno w mediach.. ogromny skandal na skalę Polski, a tutaj cisza Chodzi o festiwal Bangarang7, który odbył się w miniony weekend w Chwałkowie. To wydarzenie od kilku lat przyciąga fanów metalu, punka, rocka i hardcore’u. Festiwal organizuje Stowarzyszenie „Dżentelmeni Metalu”, które z pola kukurydzy stworzyło miejsce rozpoznawalne w środowisku miłośników ciężkiego grania.
A firefighter stood by for fire safety. Local politicians and officials condemned the act as blasphemous and disrespectful of religious feeling. And yet it was still allowed. Even with a firefighter to make sure it doesn't get out of control. Their only real concern. A lot of people get away with this sort of thing in Poland like Blaspheming against Catholics and GOD. Very few are even fined. Then below we have this mess in Poland. No wonder they don't stop burning of crosses and filthy plays. You will never see this in Russia! It's a crime, and a serious crime to attack any religion in Russia. They won't pretend to be outraged. THEY WILL BE! And off to jail you go! Freedom of religion is one thing they take very seriously. They got caught in their own laws trying to ban freemasons. But working on how to change it without hurting others. That will be one huge challenge they have on their hands. Thankfully there isn't many at all. About 1.000 +. This is why many hate Russia. She destroys …Aktar
Spanish Bishop Threatens Resignation Over Virgin’s Place at Opus Dei Sanctuary Bishop Ángel Javier Pérez Pueyo of Barbastro-Monzón, Spain, has said he would offer his resignation rather than sign a settlement under which the statue of Our Lady of the Angels of Torreciudad remains permanently at the Opus Dei sanctuary. The bishop drew his red line in a public letter on 31 August, ahead of the image’s return to its ancient hermitage on 5 September for the 47th Pilgrimage of the Virgins of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe. That return is temporary. It has been authorized by Archbishop Alejandro Arellano Cedillo, the pontifical commissioner for Torreciudad. After the pilgrimage, the image is due to return to the sanctuary. Bishop Pérez Pueyo’s threat concerns the final settlement: he refuses to accept an arrangement under which the statue remains there permanently and returns to the hermitage only on special occasions. He would "never sign such an unlikely act of plundering your dignity," he wrote, …Aktar
A Bishop is willing to resign over the location of a sacred image, but not over ongoing sacrilegious practices that continue in so many churches in one's diocese, abuses of the Blessed Sacrament, LGBTQ processions and Masses, etc.. Where is the like zeal of any Bishop for the such causes?
