Image credit: L’Osservatore Romano I’m at a loss. I know this isn’t news, but the constant reminders of our Holy Father’s utter disregard for Catholic truth is…well, it’s just disheartening. We told you about Lund and the push for intercommunion — and why that’s not even possible. We addressed the fact that the Church has long…
The joint proposal to work towards shared Eucharistic communion, signed yesterday in Lund, Sweden, by Pope Francis and the President of the Lutheran World Federation (whose member churches, by the way, generally support abortion and same-sex “marriage”), is extremely troubling. For the following facts must be remembered: 1) Lutherans do not believe in the Sacrifice of the Mass (which…
Claire Chretien of LifeSiteNews has posted a new video today of the Q&A with Bishop Athanasius Schneider at the Cosmos Club in Washington DC after his October 20, 2016 talk. In it, he was asked about Pope Francis’ statement that Martin Luther “did not err” on justification. He responded, in part: We have already had…
I know that many of you are thinking it. That this earthquake in Norcia seems profound. Significant. Symbolic. Now maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t, but I find myself involuntarily grasping at pattern recognition, trying to piece together this puzzle (if it in fact IS a puzzle). This is what I see so far:…
It seems that the earthquakes that began been hitting Norcia this summer were only preludes to the main event. Just moments ago, reports began coming in from all over the Internet of strong tremors felt in Rome, lasting as long as 20 seconds. Early reports from some geological services said that this latest quake registered as a 6.9,…
So what’s in a date? One Peter Five contributor Dr. Peter Kwasniewski asked that question recently when discussing the Church’s celebration for the Feast of Christ the King. The feast itself was instituted by Pope Pius XI with his encyclical Quas Primas (11 December 1925). The Holy Father states clearly his purpose for instituting…
Two years ago last month, I wrote an article entitled, The Ascendancy of the Devil. In it, I described various accounts indicative of a surge of demonic activity in the world, which has since only been confirmed as a continuing trend by various sources of mine, including priests on the front lines of the spiritual battle.…
In a new interview in Crux, Auxiliary Bishop William Kenney of Birmingham, England — co-chair of the international dialogue between the Lutheran World Federation and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity — offers us a glimpse of what to expect in Lund, Sweden, on October 31, when Pope Francis joins the LWF to commemorate the 500th…
I received an email from Fr. Scott Haynes, SJC, at St. John Cantius in Chicago. Biretta Books — the proceeds of which benefit St. John Cantius and the AMDG foundation — is having a sale on sacred music until January. I know that our readers are often in search of good sources of sacred music (and books)…
On Wednesday, it was noted that Pope Pius XI’s page on the Vatican website had vanished, along with all of his encyclicals, even though the work of popes both before and after him remained. We noted that his Mortalium Animos is damning of modern-day ecumenism, and Quas Primas is, of course, another encyclical that has — inasmuch as…
It appears that Pope Pius XI’s documents are missing from the Vatican website where they were once stored. We walk you through just one of the missing documents, the link for which is still available through Google. Since the (somewhat impromptu) video below was made earlier today, we did some more digging, and it appears that…
