For nothing more glorious, nothing nobler, nothing surely more honorable can be imagined than to belong to the One, Holy Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church - Pope Pius XII, Encyclical Mystici Corporis Christi, no. 91

Spain can do the funniest thing today

Is it OK to celebrate 🇫🇷 14 of July by reading the speeches of Pope Pius XII to the aristocracy of Rome? Asking for a friend

Thirty Nobel laureates, former heads of state, 20 leading artificial intelligence experts; including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, AARU and Anthropic, and 30 of the world’s most prominent universities, will meet today in Castel Gandolfo vaticannews.va/en/church/news…

Who is the Vatican subtweeting with this?

oday is the Feast of St. Camillus de Lellis, a soldier who experienced a conversion while recovering from an injury suffered in war. A ruffian who became a priest and founded the Clerics Regular, Ministers to the Sick (Camillians), dedicated to care of the sick. Ora pro nobis

Beating Brazil at the World Cup is not the big deal it used to be.

This by the way was the reason some believe that Vatican II didn’t explicitly condemn Communism; namely that the Church had already condemned it.

@schwabsauce @TeaKupps It’s a FIFA rule. That’s why every team whose home shirt isn’t white, their away shirt is white, or light enough to be considered white by FIFA. FIFA prefer games to always feature one team in white

@TeaKupps It bugged me that there was a white team in almost every match. I figured it was because it makes the players easier to see

Why would Spain play in white when their home kit (red) doesn’t clash with France (blue)? literally makes zero sense

Let us pray for Archbishop Hicks as he recovers from a retinal detachment.

“The Jansenist heretics dared to teach such doctrines as that an excommunication pronounced by a lawful prelate could be ignored on a pretext of injustice.” - Blessed Pius IX in Quartus supra He continues: “Each person should perform, as they said, his own particular duty despite an excommunication. Our predecessor of happy memory Clement XI in his constitution Unigenitus against the errors of Quesnell forbade and condemned statements of this kind. These statements were scarcely in any way different from some of John Wyclif’s which had previously been condemned by the Council of Constance and Martin V. Through human weakness a person could be unjustly punished with censure by his prelate. But it is still necessary, as Our predecessor St. Gregory the Great warned, “for a bishop’s subordinates to fear even an unjust condemnation and not to blame the judgment of the bishop rashly in case the fault which did not exist, since the condemnation was unjust, develops out of the pride of heated reproof.” But if one should be afraid even of an unjust condemnation by one’s bishop, what must be said of those men who have been condemned for rebelling against their bishop and this Apostolic See and tearing to pieces as they are now doing by a new schism the seamless garment of Christ, which is the Church?”

“Pope Leo XIV is said to have initiated a series of direct communications with Emmanuel Macron. According to sources within both the diplomatic sphere and the Vatican, His Holiness has been making regular 15-minute phone calls to the French President focused solely on the euthanasia and assisted suicide bill.”

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ, Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte; Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

The always emotional ‘Adeus’ or goodbye in Fatima today. Ó Virgem do Rosário, da Fátima Senhora; De Portugal Rainha, dos homens protectora. Ó Virgem do Rosário, da Fátima Senhora, Do Vosso Santuário, forçoso é ir-me embora. Uma prece final ao deixar-Vos, Mãe de Deus: Viva sempre em minha alma Este grito imortal: Ó Fátima, Adeus!

Hosana, Hosana, Rainha de Portugal Hosana, Hosana, Virgem Maria. Senhora, nós Vos rezamos, Quem Vos reza, em Vós confia, Senhora, nós Vos rezamos! Hosana, Hosana, Rainha de Portugal Hosana, Hosana, Virgem Maria.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui: Præstet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et Jubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.
