@APRILMARY There will be 2 backpacks in that pic this time next year. An over 60s group!

@gd292532 I’m entering into the spirit of it vicariously.

One week from today -- 20,000 young Catholics will be at the Latin Mass in a huge field on the road to Chartres, France. Why Chartres? What lesson does the Cathedral teach Protestants? What message does the Pilgrimage send the world? How does this impact you if you aren’t there? I answered these questions and a lot more from the north porch of Notre Dame de Chartres. Please pray for the success of Chartres 2026

@holysmoke In mu elderly mothers local church in Dublin they have birthday Sunday, the priest asks anyone who’s birthday is that month to stand up for a birthday blessing and then the choir launches into happy birthday. Absolutely crusty!

I sometimes wonder if there’s a database of priests doing silly things during the vernacular Mass that serves as a resource for trads who want to persuade us that this cartoonish stuff happens all the time. Maybe it does in the US and Europe, but I’ve almost never encountered it in England. Bad and boring liturgies, yes. I’m personally turned off by things other Catholics consider ‘reverent’, such as the cantor-led abominations of Gelineau.

@APRILMARY There is always next year; it’s never too late ! I think I will raise the age profile quite a bit in the Irish chapter.

@gd292532 @Michael_J_Matt I’m 62 and I’ve wanted to do it for years and my only window without children having exams was 2020. 😞 Now my 19 year old is going this week. Let me know how you get on.

@Pontifex How about you communicate directly with the sspx instead of hiding behind Tucho

In many countries, World Communications Day is being marked today, whose theme this year I have chosen as “Preserving Human Voices and Faces.” In this era of artificial intelligence, I encourage everyone to commit themselves to promoting forms of communication that always respect the truth of the human person, on which every technological innovation should be focused. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@newmrpford Are #australian people really daft enough to fork out 2k for this absolute rubbish.

Prince Harry speaking at $2000 a ticket conference in Melbourne on mental health in the workplace next month. Really hope someone asks him about his own incredible staff turnover and their mental health. Physician heal thyself!

Wow , an Irish bishop talking sense….

@IrishmanIRL I don’t think she is ever getting pregnant…..

"Did you know you can get an abortion in UCD?" Lefty UCDSU candidate reminds students they can abort their babies on campus

@wallacemick You are not serious

Respect to Iran. Respect to Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Shame on the Political Class + Media who refuse to call out the lawless Terrorism of Western Imperialism + Zionism... #TorinoLazio

@wittysmug @MaryKenny4 @KilkennyOf Hopefully not all Irish. some of us are listening

@KilkennyOf Seeing Ireland’s response hurts. I’m an Irish Iranian. Both countries are my home. It’s painful to watch my fellow Irish refusing to listen to Iranians and understand their pain. Talking over us, silencing our voices, erasing our Iranian history all in favor of a rotten ideology

Is #Ireland being misled? Many Iranians are happy with the news.

@UnaVoceSevilla He needs less hair dye and more faith

Mons. Breis Pereira de Maceió, arzobispo de Maceió (Brasil), ha declarado la excomunión de cualquier sacerdote que celebre o fiel que asista a la Misa tradicional fuera del único lugar autorizado por el obispo Oremos por la paz litúrgica

Had to attend a #novusordo mass today. After communion priest asked anyone born on February to stand up for a birthday blessing. Then the truly awful choir sang happy birthday. It was torture. #harlayshanger

@A_friend_in_GOD @TaylorRMarshall They still need bishops

@TaylorRMarshall Dumb question, but why doesn’t the SSPX just become part of the Latin Mass communities that are in full communion with Rome? Like Join with the FSSP for example? Problem solved.

I'm currently in Rome and, of course, people are discussing the SSPX meeting. Apparently, Cardinal Fernandez strongly REJECTED the SSPX's request for permission to consecrate more bishops, and instead proposed a long-term theological “dialogue” with the SSPX regarding Vatican 2.

@peltedrebel35 @TaylorRMarshall He is, the vile creature

@TaylorRMarshall Isn’t Cardinal Fernandez the “Heal Me With Your Mouth” dude?

@jj_sterz @MarkTezak @dianemontagna And then Rome will change its mind again and excommunications will be turned over again and Rome will look silly again.

@MarkTezak @dianemontagna Latae sententiae excommunication This will automatically occur with no action required by the Church Anyone participating in a SSPX service will be in mortal sin and also earn Latae sententiae excommunication

JUST IN: Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issues statement following today’s meeting at the Vatican between SSPX Superior General Fr. Davide Pagliarani & DDF Prefect Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández. According to the statement: “After clarifying certain points presented by the FSSPX in various letters, particularly those sent between 2017 and 2019 — including, among other topics, the question of the divine will concerning the plurality of religions,” Cardinal Fernández proposed a structured theological dialogue to clarify unresolved issues. However, the Cardinal emphasized that ordaining bishops without the Pope’s mandate “would constitute a decisive rupture of ecclesial communion (schism), with serious consequences for the Fraternity as a whole.” Consequently, the proposed dialogue requires the Fraternity to suspend any planned episcopal ordinations. The Superior General of the FSSPX will present the proposal to his Council and will provide his response to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Here is a working English translation of the DDF’s Statement: *** STATEMENT OF THE DICASTERY FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH Regarding the Meeting between the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Superior General of the FSSPX On 12 February 2026, a cordial and sincere meeting took place at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith between the Prefect, His Eminence Cardinal Victor Manuel FERNANDEZ, and the Superior General of the FSSPX, Reverend Don Davide PAGLIARANI, with the approval of the Holy Father Leo XIV. After clarifying certain points presented by the FSSPX in various letters, particularly those sent between 2017 and 2019 — including, among other topics, the question of the divine will concerning the plurality of religions — the Prefect proposed a pathway of specifically theological dialogue, following a precise methodology, on issues that have not yet received sufficient clarification. These include: the distinction between an act of faith and the “religious submission of mind and will,” as well as the differing degrees of adherence required by various texts of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council and their interpretation. At the same time, he proposed addressing a series of topics listed by the FSSPX in its letter of 17 January 2019. The aim of this dialogue is to highlight, in the topics under discussion, the minimum requirements for full communion with the Catholic Church, and consequently to outline a canonical statute for the Fraternity, along with other aspects requiring further study. The Holy See reaffirmed that the ordination of bishops without the mandate of the Supreme Pontiff, who possesses ordinary, supreme, universal, immediate, and direct power (cf. CIC, can. 331; Dogmatic Constitution Pastor aeternus, chs. I and III), would constitute a decisive rupture of ecclesial communion (schism), with serious consequences for the Fraternity as a whole (John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei, 2 July 1988, nn. 3 and ff.; Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Explanatory Note, 24 August 1996, n. 1). Therefore, the possibility of undertaking this dialogue presupposes that the Fraternity suspend the announced episcopal ordinations. The Superior General of the FSSPX will present the proposal to his Council and will provide his response to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. In the event of a positive response, the steps, stages, and procedures to be followed will be established by mutual agreement. The Church is asked to accompany this process, especially in the coming times, with prayer to the Holy Spirit, who is the principal agent of true ecclesial communion willed by Christ.

@Sajwani @elonmusk Can i come too

@elonmusk 🤯 WooW so my wife can actually ask me to take her to the Moon 😂

SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩

@Teflon93Wins @GibsonWrites Who is new bishop for FSSP.?

@GibsonWrites We have waited 38 years and are down to 2 bishops. Pope Leo just announced a new bishop for FSSP while ignoring the SSPX request to meet. Let’s not pretend the Society rashly decided to do anything. You didn’t wait 38 years for a Pride Mass, I presume.

Latin Mass Trads are going to ordain their own bishops because Pope Leo did not give them what they want. Schismatics gonna Schism. This mentality is endemic to the Latin Mass Trad mentality, indeed it is at the core. I am not sure how we could ever expect a different outcome.

@griptmedia She is full of shite…

JOHN MCGUIRK: Former President McAleese says that her baptism as an infant put limitations on her "inalienable intellectual rights". That's a lot of nonsense: gript.ie/mcguirk-mcalee…
