New Director General of Legionaries of Christ

The General Chapter of the Legionaries of Christ has elected Carlos Gutiérrez López, LC, as the Congregation’s new Director General for the six-year term 2026–2032. The order counts over 1,000 priests worldwide.
Fr. Carlos Gutiérrez López, 51, is a native of Hermosillo, Mexico, and was ordained a priest in 2009. He has served in Chile, Italy, Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico.
The language surrounding his election reflects themes strongly associated with Pope Francis. The General Chapter entrusted him with continuing the Legionaries’ path of renewal, emphasizing transparency, care for persons, communion with the wider Church, and renewed outreach toward the “existential peripheries.”
The election marks the conclusion of the service of Fr. John Connor, LC, who has served as Director General since 2020. The General Chapter will now continue with the election of the General Government and further discernment on the congregation’s future.

Pope Leo interprets the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms irrationally and schismatically. There has been no denial from the Vatican Dicastery for Communications.

04.02.2025
Here are some views on X on the consecration of new bishops of the SSPX on July 1, with my comments
Pope Leo interprets the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms irrationally and schismatically. There has been no denial from the Vatican Dicastery for Communications.
With Vatican Council II rational, which is orthodox and ecclesiocentric, religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality and the liturgy are not an issue. It will be an issue for the liberals.
Austen Ivereigh
@austeni
Superb overview of Leo’s commitment to deepening conciliar reform, including of liturgy. His response to traditionalists is to realize, not reject, liturgical renewal.
Lionel: False. You cannot have a Conciliar or liturgical reform based upon Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally and not rationally. The Council has to be interpreted with the Rational and not Irrational Premise.

Epstein Correspondence Mentions Vatican Bank And Benedict's Resignation

The recent release of emails and documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice includes speculation about the Vatican Bank IOR and Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation.
In a February 21, 2013 email to economist Larry Summers, Epstein suggested in his distorted view that the most significant change in the Vatican was not Benedict XVI’s resignation, but a leadership shift at the IOR. He claimed the Vatican’s sovereign status exempted the bank from Italian and European Union transparency rules.
The email referred to the removal of IOR president Ettore Gotti Tedeschi in May 2012 amid Italian investigations into alleged financial misconduct. Epstein wrote that 47 dossiers were found at Tedeschi’s home and that intercepted calls showed he feared for his safety due to his knowledge of Vatican financial matters. Epstein wrote that by late 2012, Tedeschi was cooperating with Italian authorities.
Epstein also noted that German lawyer Ernst von Freyberg was appointed president …More

1. Podesta emails revealed by wiki leaks discussed the "Catholic spring" which was basically that the neutering of the Catholic Church had already been accomplished?

2. Cardinal Pell was placed in charge of investigating the Vatican bank, and was falsely accused, he had to stand trial and found not guilty, and then his death was surrounded by unsolved anomalies?

3. Pope Benedict appointed a small group to investigate the "lavender lobby" in the Catholic Church who handed him a completed 300 page report which has gone missing as soon as Bergoglio entered the picture with his stage name Pope Francis ?

Will the new bishop of Hamilton defend Catholic education?

In Hamilton, Ontario, the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King on February 2, 2026 was filled with parishioners, visitors, friends and clergy. They were there to see Bishop Joseph Dabrowski installed as the new shepherd. We congratulate and wish him well. However, he comes to a diocese that has been very open about accepting inclusive education in their publicly funded Catholic schools.
In 2022, it was the Hamilton Diocese that released a document called, "
Supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ Students: A Pastoral Response." The title speaks for itself.
The pastoral document states that while Catholics have the Constitutional right to govern their schools, they must also follow the Ontario Human Right Code (OHRC). In short, the OHRC trumps Catholic identity.
Here's the wording: "Separate schools in Ontario have special rights guaranteed by the Constitution and by the Education Act. Section 19 means that the [Ontario Human Rights Code] cannot affect those rights, which are mainly related to the existence …

The Freemasonic Revolution in full bloom

The Freemasonic revolution within the Church that I've been warning readers about for almost four decades ( see here for example) is now in full bloom.
Heresies are being promulgated to prepare the world for the entrance of the Man of Sin ( see here), he who comes in his own name (John 5:43).
The confusion deepens. See here.
"Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.
The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be …

‘EC interfered in elections across Europe and censors content,’ US Republicans say – Allah's Willing Executioners

Former Internal Market European Commission Commissioner, Thierry Breton, an EU censor who threatened X if they carried an interview with Donald Trump. Wikimedia Commons, Bogdan Hoyaux / European Union, CC-BY-4.0
The US House Committee on the Judiciary has ramped up its accusations against the European Commission, accusing it of repeated election interference and censorship.
After reviewing documents and communications of European regulators regarding Brussels’ tech regulation, the Republican-led Committee published a report titled The EU Censorship Files, Part II.
It is accompanied by thousands of pages of internal Big Tech documents and communications with European regulators.
The committee, chaired by Republican Jim Jordan, describes the material as proof of a decade-long European campaign to impose global narrative control through pressure on social-media platforms.
The findings build directly on January’s exposure by the same committee of the EC’s first-ever fine under the …

"In a word, the cross, that is, the Passion of Jesus Christ, is that which will gain for us the victory over all our passions and all the temptations that hell will hold out to us, in order to separate us from God. The cross is the road and ladder by which we mount to heaven. Happy he who embraces it during his life, and does not put it off till the hour of death. He that dies embracing the cross has a sure pledge of eternal life, which is promised to all those who follow Jesus Christ with their cross."

V. ~ Jesus upon the Cross
Jesus upon the cross was a spectacle which filled heaven and earth with amazement
, at the sight of an Almighty God, the Lord of all, dying upon an infamous cross, condemned as a criminal between two other malefactors. It was a spectacle of justice, in displaying the Eternal Father, in order that his justice might be satisfied; punishing the sins of men in the person of his only-begotten Son, loved by him as himself. It was a spectacle of mercy, displaying his innocent Son dying a death so shameful and so bitter, in order to save his creatures from the punishment that was due to them. Especially was it a sight of love, in displaying a God who offered and gave his life to redeem from death his slaves …More

Texas Senate seat loss sends shockwaves through the Republican Party

In this image taken from KXAS video, State Sen-elect Taylor Rehmet (D) speaks Jan. 31, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas, after winning a special election for the Texas state Senate and flipped a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024. (KXAS via AP)
AP
Texas is still a red state, but the
stunning election results in Fort Worth on Saturday show that a blue spine continues to grow along Interstate 35, threatening the GOP’s hold.
When Democrat Taylor Rehmet defeated Trump-endorsed Leigh Wambsganss, he won an area in North Texas that President Donald Trump had just carried by 17 percentage points in 2024.
What’s worse for Republicans is how Rehmet did it. About 50% of the voters who showed up in the special election in Tarrant County previously voted in a GOP primary, which should have given Wambsganss an edge.

Instead, Rehmet dominated with independents and peeled off enough past GOP voters in winning a seat that a Democrat …

‘THE ART OF DYING WELL’ by CARDINAL Saint BELLARMINE - ‘CHAPTER III ~ THE THIRD PRECEPT, WHICH IS CONCERNING THE THREE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES.’; pages 7-9

[St. Robert Bellarmine – XVI-XVII Century A.D.; Montepulciano, Grand Duchy of Tuscany/Rome, Papal States; (Aged 78); Cardinal; Rector; Professor; Doctor of the Church; Role in Giordano Bruno & Galileo cases]
“CHAPTER III ~ THE THIRD PRECEPT, WHICH IS CONCERNING THE THREE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES.
IN the last chapter we showed, that no one can die a good death, without first dying to the world.
Now we shall point out what he must do who is dead to the world, in order that he may live to God; for in the first chapter we proved, that no man can die well, without having lived well. The essence of a good life is laid down by St. Paul, in his first Epistle to Timothy, in these words: " Now the end of the commandment is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith." (chap, i.) The apostle was not ignorant of the answer our Lord gave to one who had asked Him: " What shall I do to possess eternal life ? " He answered, “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments …More

"Hear what the wise man thinks of the hope of the wicked: "The hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind; and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by."(Wisdom v. 15.)."

In Principio

"There are, therefore, three virtues, in which the perfection of the Christian law consists; charity from a pure heart, hope from a good conscience, and faith unfeigned. But as charity is first in the order of perfection, so in the order of generation, faith cometh first, according to the words of the apostle: " Now there remain, faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greater of these is charity."

Fr Pagliarani Wants to Meet Leo XIV Before Consecrations

Fr Davide Pagliarani, the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX), wants to meet Pope Leo XIV before the bishops’ consecration on July 1, he said in his homily today at the seminary of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, France. Relevant quotes.
- We wrote to the Holy Father to explain the particular situation in which the Fraternity finds itself, and to let him take the means to continue this work.
- This work has only the purpose of preserving tradition for the good of souls.
- These reasons have not found yet an open door at the Holy See. We regret this very much.
- We think that July 1 could be a good date, an ideal date for episcopal consecrations.
- In the coming days, we plan to provide further clarification.
- I would like one day to be able to meet the Pope before July 1st.
- I would like to explain our intentions and our attachment to the Church to him.

BREAKING: SSPX episcopal consecrations announced

The SSPX has announced that they will be consecrating bishops 1 July 2026, apparently without pontifical mandate, following Archbishop Lefebvre’s ‘Operation Survival’ in 1988 and another in 1991.
Following the death of
Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais in 2024 (and also Bishop Richard Williamson in 2025), the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) has announced that they will be following in his footsteps and consecrating bishops, apparently without the permission of Leo XIV, on 1 July 2026.
This will mark the second time – and not the first, as many think – that the Society of St Pius X’s bishops have conferred episcopal consecration since 1988 (more on this below).
The statement is as follows:
Press release dated 2 February 2026.
On 2 February 2026, the feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin, the Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, during the ceremony of the taking of the cassock which he presided over at the International …
