Cardinal Cupich has allowed heterodox Fr. Michael Pfleger, who has conducted homosexual ‘blessings’ and endorsed ‘women’s ordination,’ to return as senior pastor of a Chicago parish
Rev. Michael Pfleger, 77, was reinstated effective August 24 after the Archdiocese of Chicago's Independent Review Board completed its investigation. He is known nationally for his progressive activism. Cardinal Blase Cupich, 77, said the board, assisted by the Office of Child Protection and outside investigators, concluded there was “no reason to believe” Pfleger was guilty of the allegation. Cupich accepted the recommendation and returned him to ministry at St. Sabina. According to the Chicago Sun-Times reporting, a woman alleged that Pfleger sexually abused her when she was a girl attending St. Sabina's school sometime between 1993 and 1995. The allegation surfaced this July, and Pfleger was removed from ministry on July 11 while it was investigated. Rev. Pfleger denied it emphatically from the outset, calling it an “absolute lie.” Under archdiocesan policy, the allegation was reported to police, and the accuser was offered assistance through the church's Victim Assistance Ministry. …More

The Dawn of a New Era September 3, Memorial of Saint Gregory the Great Dear brothers and sisters, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476, Italy was ravaged by the Greco-Gothic War. The capital of the Western Roman Empire had been moved to Ravenna, and Rome was abandoned to its fate. What had once been the capital of the world, besieged, destroyed, and sacked first by the Visigoths in 410 and then by the Vandals in 455, had shrunk from 100,000 inhabitants to just 30,000, afflicted by hunger and epidemics. Gregory was born in 540 to an ancient noble family. Gifted with great intelligence, at just 33 years of age he became prefect of the city, but the Lord called him to other endeavors. Fascinated by the life of Saint Benedict, in 573 he renounced his possessions and donated them to the poor. Having become a Benedictine, he transformed his home on the Celian Hill into a convent and became its abbot. He was torn from his life of silence, prayer, and study by Pope Pelagius II, who …More

Enzo Bianchi, founder of the Monastic Community of Bose, died at the Molinette Hospital in Turin at the age of 83 after kidney failure led to a metabolic coma. Bianchi was a monk but never became a priest. A prolific author, he wrote extensively on Scripture, spirituality and contemporary Christianity. He addressed Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox audiences and became a regular interlocutor of secular intellectuals and non-believers. Bose: From Farmhouse to a Center of Ecumenism Bianchi was born on March 3, 1943, in Castel Boglione, Piedmont. His mother died when he was eight, and he grew up with his atheist and communist father.

Leo XIV’s Prayer Intention Is … for the Care of Water: In September 2026, Leo XIV invites Catholics around the world to pray for the care of water. In his monthly prayer intention, he reminds Christians that access to clean water should be a right. “We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders.” He encourages Christians to reject waste and pollution and to use natural resources responsibly. Caring for water, he says, is both an expression of love for creation and an act of solidarity with the poor.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. May your Spirit make us pilgrims of the essential, able to live with simplicity, denouncing waste and pollution, defending the right of every brother and sister to drink without fear and without inequality. May our care for water, be a sign of love for the Creator, and a commitment to the lives of …More
The first priority is to protect souls from the toxic pseudo-doctrine of Prevost and his cronies. Thanks to Gloria TV for speaking clearly and denouncing the abuses of the usurper, since the conservative clergy will not open their mouths. Giving preference to water is yet another sign of the paganism of this pontificate.

Sánchez weist Marokko-Schuld zurück und beschuldigt Russland und Israel Spaniens Präsident Pedro Sánchez hat Marokko von jeglicher Verantwortung für den massiven Zustrom von Migranten nach Ceuta freigesprochen und hat ausdrücklich „Russland, Israel und eine reaktionäre internationale Gruppierung“ als Verursacher der Verbreitung von „Falschmeldungen“ in den sozialen Medien über diese Situation genannt. Er hat auch betont, dass der Nationale Nachrichtendienst (CNI), im Gegensatz zu dem, was Ministerin Margarita Robles behauptet, keine Informationen über „die Schwere der Krise, die wir erleben würden“ geliefert habe.
Cardinal Fernando Chomali, archbishop of Santiago, Chile, recently reflected on this new trend: “‘Aura farming’ is a desperate cry from young people to be seen, heard, valued, loved, and acknowledged. It’s a different version of the ‘therian’ trend [a person who psychologically identifies with an animal], reflecting the same worrying phenomenon: Many young people feel lonely! And, regrettably, little is said about that,” he commented on X. In another post, the cardinal advised young people: “The best way to aura farm is to approach life with hope and joy. I invite you to study assiduously and to prepare your body and soul well to serve others. What better way to aura farm than by thinking big and building a more just country! Aura for and by Chile!” he commented.
Carlo Maria Viganò (Author), Léon-Pierre Durin (Preface) “The Capital Schism” is an incisive and profound essay by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, which addresses the unprecedented crisis currently experienced by the Catholic Church, raising crucial questions concerning the relationship between the divine institution of the Papacy and whoever sits upon the Chair of Peter. In this fundamental work for contemporary debate, the Author analyzes the paradox of an ecclesiastical hierarchy that, starting from the Second Vatican Council, has dramatically distanced itself from Tradition to embrace modernist, synodal, and globalist drifts. Key points of the volume: The distinction between the Papacy and the Pope: The essay clarifies the fundamental difference between the Papacy as a divine institution and an unshakable rock, and the person of the Pope, who may act as a faithful custodian or, by divine permission, as an obstacle and adversary to that institution. The capital schism: It examines the …More
Leo XIV personally intervened to stop VaticanNews.va from using the artwork of Father Marko Rupnik, according to Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes. Rupnik has been accused by numerous women of fornication and sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse. In an interview with Paris Match (August 31), Bishop Micas described a private audience with Leo XIV in June 2025. The pope asked him how Lourdes was dealing with Rupnik’s asymmetrical mosaics and the big black eyes. Leo XIV supported the bishop’s approach to cover the mosaics. Then, Leo XIV mentioned that he had instructed the Holy See’s communications office to stop using Rupnik’s mosaics to illustrate articles. “He is truly very determined on this issue,” Bishop Micas said. Rupnik’s work quietly disappeared from VaticanNews.va in June 2025, shortly after Leo XIV’s election. However, the canonical case against the Slovenian priest remains ongoing and is clearly delayed, even years after the allegations against him became public …More
