Kroatien schickt beim Eurovision Song Contest 2026 ein Lied, das tiefer geht als die meisten Beiträge: „Andromeda“ der Band Lelek erzählt von weiblichem Widerstand gegen historische Islamisierung – und löst bereits Kontroversen aus. nius.de/unterhaltung/e…

@GeorgeJanko I guess we know it was not good for him as his wife was spiralling from pod to pod. He probably removed himself from the audience

Pope Pius X was pretty clear on that. So they are not even following him

Why does the SSPX need to consecrate bishops?
It's a reasonable question. After all, none of the other traddy groups have their own bishops, and they seem to get along just fine.
1. The mission of the SSPX is to preserve the traditional Catholic priesthood, including formation, discipline, philosophy, and pastoral practice.
Archbishop Lefebvre sold this mission to Paul VI as the "experiment of tradition." During a time when it seemed anything could (and would) be changed, why not keep a little side chapel in the Church of the New Advent for the old stuff?
Now, the preservation of the priesthood obviously requires the ability to ordain priests, and to do this requires a bishop.
Unfortunately, the SSPX continues to be Church's loudest critic of Vatican II — the council that somehow changed both nothing and everything at the same time, and by which the Church now seeks to define herself.
Consequently, the SSPX is the third rail of the entire conciliar milieu. Archbishop Lefebvre was forbidden to ordain priests in 1976, but continued doing so. No conciliar bishop in his right mind is stepping up to ordain SSPX priests today. Could you imagine the headlines?
The FSSP and similar groups rely on TLM-friendly prelates like Cardinal Burke and Bishop Bruskewitz to confer priestly ordination, but these men are known to denounce the SSPX publicly. The only outsider who might even consider ordaining SSPX priests is Bishop Schneider.
And since everyone must "return in due time" to the Novus Ordo according to Traditionis Custodes, there is presently very little reason to think that Rome would even allow such ordinations to take place.
So, if the SSPX is to continue to exist, they will need bishops to continue ordaining priests from their ever-growing classes of seminarians.
2. The SSPX has hundreds of thousands of lay faithful requiring the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Because SSPX bishops have no ordinary jurisdiction, they cannot delegate the task of Confirmation to SSPX priests. (Of course, any priest can administer Confirmation to someone in danger of death.)
The SSPX has only two aging bishops, but hundreds of chapels across six continents. A huge portion of their bishops' time is spent traveling the world and slapping kids with Sacred Chrism.
You might argue that those people could receive Confirmation from just about anyone else. Why do they need the SSPX to do it?
Well, for whatever reason, those people have chosen the SSPX for their spiritual home — and the faculties granted by Rome in recent years have not exactly discouraged them from doing that. If you think it's easy to call up a random parish and schedule Confirmation, I encourage you to give it a try!
3. There are very few bishops remaining who were consecrated in the Old Rite.
The bishops currently providing ordination to the FSSP/ICKSP/etc were consecrated using the Novus Ordo formula, and in the context of the Novus Ordo Mass.
I'm not here to argue about validity of the Novus Ordo episcopal consecrations — but there's obvious value for a group like the SSPX to maintain continuity with the traditional episcopal rites for the bishops that serve them.
So, what now?
In 1988, Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops to guarantee continuity of the traditional priesthood.
Of the four original bishops, two have recently gone to their eternal reward. The remaining two are approaching their 70s.
Since the original excommunications, the SSPX has steadily grown — thanks in part to the Society's quasi-regularization by Rome over the years.
Now, they have 5 seminaries,
94 Catholic schools,
798 Mass locations,
733 priests,
264 seminarians,
395 religious brothers and sisters,
and hundreds of thousands of lay faithful that depend on them for traditional sacraments.
And after witnessing the Francis pontificate and the death of half their bishops, the man to decide their fate within the structures of the Church is...Cardinal Tucho Fernandez.
Given the current state of the Church, accepting a future without SSPX bishops is tantamount to informing all their priests and faithful that "it's over."
Do I wish they had tried harder to negotiate this time? Yes.
Do I have any reason to believe that the end result would be any different? No.
And if you think the situation is less dire now than it was in 1988, you may want to do some research on the Overton Window.

@Prunkundshiva ZdK spricht generell nicht für Katholiken. Ich Frage mich warum das alle ständig glauben. Da kann man selber kein katholik sein.
Deutsch

Die Staatskirchen sind schon lange vom Glauben abgefallen. Falls er dort jemals existent war.
„Es darf nicht sein, dass Katholiken und Katholikinnen die AfD wahlen. Das muss verhindert werden.“ Die Partei widerspreche dem christlichen Menschenbild, so Marc Frings, Generalsekretär des Zentralkomitees der deutschen Katholiken.
Ausgerechnet die katholische Kirche, die immer wieder durch Missbrauchsskandale auffällt, argumentiert mit Menschenrechten, während sie selbst Andersdenkenden Rechte abspricht. Das hat man auch während Corona ganz deutlich sehen können. Sowas ist nicht christlich, das ist nur noch bigott und zum Fremdschämen. Kein Wunder, dass Leute in Massen austreten.

Kroatien setzt bei der Eurovision ein starkes historisches Zeichen. 🇭🇷
Mit dem Lied „Andromeda“ der Gruppe Lelek prangert Kroatien die osmanische Besatzung an. Das Stück hat nichts mit moderner Wokeness zu tun, sondern verurteilt die jahrhundertelange islamisch-türkische Herrschaft auf dem Balkan.
Kroatische Frauen tätowierten sich mit traditionellen Sicanje-Mustern als Akt des Widerstands gegen die islamische Herrschaft. So schützten sie ihre christliche Identität und Freiheit vor Unterdrückung.
Endlich ein Beitrag, der echte Geschichte statt ideologischer Einheitskultur feiert.

@paramounttactcl @RealCandaceO What a stupid take. Just stop and ppl might forget.
But with this stupid takes we won't ever forget it.

@RolandTichy Die katholische (echte) Kirche gibt es noch. Einige Bischöfe kämpfen auch dafür. In den Medien und der Zeitgeist zeigt und propagiert links, queer und co.
Alternative Medien sind hier meist nicht anders und dreschen sowieso auch gern auf Christen ein.

Früher war es die Kirche Christi. Heute ist es eine staatstreue "Demokratiekirche" mit Schwerpunkt Queere, Bondage- und Sado-Maso-Techniken. Die sexuellen Phantasien der katholischen Funktionäre werden ausgebreitet wie sonst nur ein Gebetsteppich. tichyseinblick.de/meinungen/bdsm…

I say this as a Candace fan and nothing to do with her husband specifically.
It is not uncommon for gay men to be in straight marriages and procreate during that time. Women also marry men, have children, and end up having only attraction to women. Basically, a man can f a woman and still be gay. There are also other ways Candace could become pregnant that doesn’t involve sex.
Let’s leave her personal life for her to share.

Everyone keeps saying they see the baby glow on @RealCandaceO. What you think?
All I keep thinking is when Candace announces that baby #5 is on the way how do you think the haters will spin that her husband is gay? 🤨😂 Clearly he can’t keep his hands off her!
Great interview with @imelizabethlane! Happy I found her from Candace.
