Catholic Church

By Fr. Richard Heilman, Roman Catholic Man - After 31 years of priesthood, it has become crystal clear to me that my primary mission is to do everything I can to bring people to the point in which they cry out, “My Lord and my God!”… Jesus told Thomas, “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29). This place of “True Belief” is the “ultimate” or “pinnacle” for every soul. This is the place that brings “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). This is the place that calms the restless soul, bringing them to nestle in the loving arms of God. This is the place of “Sublime Blessedness.”

By David G Bonagura, Jr., The Catholic Thing - For Ratzinger, the core problem with the Novus Ordo was its subjectivist tilt away from glorifying God to glorifying His people. His first chapter, “Liturgy and Life” (which signals his broad perspective), famously located the apostasy of the Israelites around the golden calf: “Worship becomes a feast that the community gives itself, a festival of self-affirmation. Instead of being a worship of God, it becomes a circle closed in on itself.”… The comparison to the manner in which the liturgy has been celebrated since Vatican II is not subtle.

By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register - “The overall loan and guarantee transaction was executed covertly by APSA, shielded from the eyes of the public,” an informed source told the Register. “APSA didn’t lend the money to the Luigi Monti Foundation or to IDI. Formally, it was lent to the congregation (CFIC), who in turn instructed APSA to pay it out of their account to the foundation — it was all smoke and mirrors.”… Although committed to prevent the IDI from collapse with consequent job losses, Cardinal Pell advised the Pope and Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, in 2014 not to go ahead with the loan.

By Christine Niles, M.St. (Oxon.), J.D., Church Militant - Father Eduard Perrone was suspended from ministry in July over a 40-year-old allegation of abuse based on a so-called repressed memory… Michael Voris: "Are the charges that have been publicly leveled against you true or not?"… Fr. Eduard Perrone: "They're entirely false."… Critics have blasted the archdiocese for finding the allegation credible, especially in light of newly published documents revealing that the accuser admitted he could not recall any specific incidents of abuse, and at most all he has is a hunch.
