Criticism of the Nuit Blanche celebration in several Paris churches has not ceased following the weekend. The controversy over Barbara Butch's appointment as artistic director has evolved into a broader debate about the use of Catholic temples for cultural activities unrelated to worship.
At first glance, the Pope's discourse appears impeccable. But a closer reading reveals a troubling shift in priorities that deserves careful attention.
The retired archbishop of La Plata, Argentina, has published a column on the American blog Rorate Coeli in which he reiterates the thesis that Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, a central figure in post-Vatican II liturgical reforms, was a Freemason.
Deputy Rossignol is right to reject « paedophilia » for violence against children. It is more accurate to speak of « child sexual abuse crimes ». Yet her reasoning stops short: she suspects the family, the father, authority, falling into anti-family ideology. However, family violence is not the truth of the family, but its absolute corruption.

This rescript concretely authorizes the dismissal of a monastery’s major superior by the diocesan bishop according to the Code of Canon Law.
As reported by the former Radio Vatican, this amendment to the Code of Canon Law by Antipope Leo aims to place large monasteries, hitherto nearly untouchable, at the mercy of the Vatican, and this on the eve of the July ordinations. The grip of the 'synodologists' on the Catholic Church tightens, an iron fist in a velvet glove to impose by force, if necessary, all the abominable reforms already carried out or to come. The battlefield draws near, dear monks and nuns!
