Read This Article Very, Very Carefully!! Leo XIV Adopts Francis’ Ecological Language In ‘Care Of Creation’ Message!!

Can you point out to me the difference between Prevost and Bergoglio, if there is one?

Please read the following article very carefully then figure out if you are guilty of some type of ecological "sin" that needs to be "confessed"!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Gaetano Masciullo Fri Aug 21, 2026 - 7:09 am EDT: Leo XIV adopts Francis’ ecological language in ‘Care of Creation’ message - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV has called the faithful to “an authentic ecological conversion” in his message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.

On Thursday, the Holy See Press Office released Leo XIV’s message for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to be observed on September 1 under the theme, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks,” from Isaiah 2:4.

In his message, dated August 15 and published August 20, the Pope links war, poverty, and “ecological degradation,” arguing that “where hearts are renewed, new possibilities begin to open.” This renewal, according to Leo, is “the path of an authentic ecological conversion” – echoing core “green” agenda themes of the Francis pontificate, particularly those articulated in his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’.

“Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom,” Leo wrote.

The Pope’s message presents war and “social and ecological destruction” as interconnected manifestations of a deeper disorder. “Moreover, the interaction between armed conflicts and environmental degradation often creates a vicious cycle, which destroys ecosystems, contaminates essential resources, such as air and water, and undermines food security. This fuels poverty, inequality, and new social tensions that can contribute to the emergence of further conflicts,” the Pope wrote.

Leo locates the root of these problems within “the human heart.” Referring to Gaudium et spes, he describes “violence, injustice, and ecological degradation” as symptoms of “the deeper dichotomy that is rooted in humanity itself.”

“The wounds of war and the degradation of the earth, then, are profoundly linked to the condition of the human heart.… In order to build a peaceful society, therefore, we must not only reform structures but also renew our hearts. The deep-set causes of conflict and the exploitation of creation stem from an ethical and cultural crisis, including the loss of a sense of limits, the desire for domination, the pursuit of immediate profit, and the inability to recognize the God-given dignity of each human person,” the Pope stated.

According to Traditional Catholic teaching, true peace is not simply the result of political negotiation or social compromise but the fruit of conversion to the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ, that is, to the Catholic faith. “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony,” Pope Pius XI taught (Quas Primas, n. 19).

Additionally, Traditional social doctrine teaches that disorder within creation is not merely the result of human-driven pollution or capitalist economics, but of the deeper wound of original sin. As St. Paul writes, “the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now” (Romans 8:22).

Leo XIV’s message explicitly adopts modern ecological terminology strongly associated with the pontificate of Francis, citing Laudato Si’ and describing several “ecosystems” that Christians are called to safeguard: creation, human relationships, and “the human heart itself.”

The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation was first established in 1989 by Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I of Constantinople, who invited Christians to dedicate September 1 to prayer and reflection on the environment. The initiative also draws on Jewish creation theology, as stated on the official page of the initiative.

Pope Francis extended the observance to the Catholic Church in 2015, framing it within the vision of the encyclical Laudato Si’ and calling believers to “ecological conversion.”'

Good News!! Florida’s Catholic AG Pushes Back On Archbishop For Rejecting Vaccine Exemptions!!

Good men still exist in this veil of tears, fighting back against the so-called shepherds of the Church who have lost their way and their charism to teach and guide the flock to Christ.

The Catholic AG of Florida is doing just that.

From lifesitenews.com and written by Emily Mangiaracina Thu Aug 20, 2026 - 2:47 pm ED: Florida's Catholic AG pushes back on archbishop for rejecting vaccine exemptions - LifeSite

(See the archbishop's article here: Florida archbishop tells state that Catholic schools will continue to mandate vaccines - LifeSite)

"(LifeSiteNews) — Florida’s attorney general has met the archbishop of Miami’s refusal to provide vaccine religious exemptions at diocesan Catholic schools with sharp criticism.

Early this month, Florida AG James Uthmeier warned the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops that Catholic schools may be disqualified from state-funded scholarships and vouchers due to their denial of vaccine religious exemptions. On Monday, Archbishop Thomas Wenski ironically insisted that Uthmeier’s challenge to the bishops’ policy “intrudes upon our religious freedom.”

“The state cannot disqualify Catholic schools from the scholarship program merely because a state official’s understanding of Church teachings differ from that of the bishops,” Wenski wrote in an op-ed. He maintained, however, that a Catholic school may disqualify a student from admission because their understanding of Church teachings differs from that of the bishops.

Wenski claimed that Catholic schools do not grant religious exemptions for student vaccinations “because the vaccines as presently developed and administered do not violate Church teachings,” seemingly ignorant of the fact that, as Uthmeier pointed out, “the Catholic Church has historically encouraged the faithful to abstain from the use of vaccines produced from aborted fetal tissue.”

Several vaccines required for school entry are developed using aborted babies’ tissue, including Rubella vaccines and chickenpox vaccines.

“I did not realize the Catholic Church had a ‘religious mission’ to force vaccinate students over the religious, conscience, and medical objections of their families — including vaccines derived from aborted fetal cell lines,” wrote Uthmeier in a social media post on Wednesday.

“If the Church’s new position is that vaccines that have previously been ‘permitted’ are now ‘mandated,’ then that is a completely new teaching,” the attorney general observed.

He stated that if it is truly the religious mission of the bishops to mandate, for school admission, vaccines that were developed using aborted fetal tissue, “it is not for the state to dispute it.”

Uthmeier pointed out, however, that Wenski’s insistence on mandating such vaccines is “confusing” given that not all U.S. dioceses are doing the same, and that the Catholic Catechism “strongly emphasizes the right of parents to manage the healthcare of their children and the fundamental right of conscience.”

Christ-Hating Jews Continue Their Attacks On Catholic Churches In Tel Aviv: Vandalized And Attacks On Christians Surge Across Israel!!

Elder brothers in the faith??

Really?

Who still believes that nonsense??

From lifesitenews.com and written by Patrick Delaney Wed Aug 19, 2026 - 6:19 am EDT: Catholic church in Tel Aviv vandalized as attacks on Christians surge across Israel - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — A man has been arrested on suspicion of vandalizing and desecrating a Catholic church in the Jaffa neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Israel Police announced on Monday.

According to authorities, a report of damage was received on Sunday morning. Officers who responded found that several religious statues inside St. Anthony of Padua church had been smashed and a number of crosses broken. Police identified the suspect, a local resident in his 20s, and took him into custody for questioning a short time later. Photographs released by Israel Police show broken statues scattered on the floor and damaged crosses.

The incident at the Latin-rite church, which belongs to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and serves the local Catholic community, comes amid documented reports of rising harassment and attacks against Christians and Christian sites in Israel.

An independent Israeli organization, the Religious Freedom Data Center (RFDC), recorded 83 acts of harassment against Christians across 76 incidents between April and June 2026 alone. The most common form was spitting at or on Christians (47 incidents), followed by verbal assaults, threatening behavior, physical attacks, defacement of signage, and other acts. Nearly 90 percent of the incidents occurred in Jerusalem, particularly in the Old City.

The RFDC, directed by scholar Yisca Harani, noted that such acts have increasingly taken place openly and in broad daylight, sometimes in a deliberately demonstrative manner. Overall trends show an upward trajectory: 107 incidents in 2024, 181 in 2025, and already 120 by mid-2026.

Hate crimes against Christians ‘mostly go unpunished’

Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa has publicly linked the rise in aggression to the political climate under the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, which was formed in late 2022.

In earlier remarks, the Franciscan cardinal stated that extremists “feel they are protected … that the cultural and political atmosphere now can justify, or tolerate, actions against Christians.” He described the frequency of attacks as “something new.” Church leaders have repeatedly complained that many perpetrators face little or no accountability, with many of the vandals being treated as having mental health issues rather than deliberate malice.

Such anti-Christian hate crimes have included radical Jews attempting to assault an Orthodox bishop and priest during a Sunday morning Divine Liturgy, another smashing a statue of Jesus Christ at the Church of the Flagellation, radical Jewish gangs attacking Christian pilgrims and committing vandalism, the desecration of Christian cemeteries, frequent incidents of their spitting on Christians, and on other occasions torching their churches.

Such impunity extends to Jewish terrorist attacks upon Christians and other Palestinians in the Israeli occupied West Bank, and in Gaza.

Israeli officials ‘facilitate and enable’ anti-Christian terrorist attacks

In July of last year, after Israeli terrorists destroyed farmland, torched holy sites, and terrorized Christian families in the West Bank town of Taybeh, Holy Land prelates charged that local law enforcement authorities “facilitate and enable” attacks through non-enforcement of laws supporting the basic human rights of their occupied Palestinian population.

Their judgments have been confirmed by current and former Israeli ministers who corroborate the complicity of Israeli government officials in facilitating ongoing crimes through obfuscation, encouragement, or ensuring “the [Jewish] terrorists don’t get arrested.”

Responding to the report on X, Palestinian Christian activist Ihab Hassan emphasized how attacks upon Christians by Jewish Israelis has “reached deeply alarming levels,” to a parallel degree with “attacks against Palestinian Christians in the West Bank.”

“The problem is not only the attacks themselves,” Hassan stated. “It is also the people who refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem and continue portraying Israel as a great and completely safe place for Christians while dismissing or ignoring what Christians themselves are experiencing.”'

More Earth Worship?? Vatican Official Performs Pachamama Ritual Ahead Of Pope Leo’s Peru Visit!!

Can this really be happening?

See if you can stomach this horrible blasphemy and violation of the First Commandment...

From lifesitenews.com and written by Gaetano Masciullo Tue Aug 18, 2026 - 9:00 am EDT: Vatican official performs Pachamama ritual ahead of Pope Leo's Peru visit - LifeSite

"CUSCO, Peru (LifeSiteNews) — Last week a senior Vatican official participated in a Pachamama ritual alongside two Catholic bishops.

The ritual took place on August 13 at a conference in Cusco, a Peruvian city in the Andean mountains, promoted by the Catholic Church. The event anticipated Pope Leo XIV’s planned visit to the country.

According to Spanish news outlet InfoVaticana the conference opened with an Andean ritual dedicated to Pachamama, involving coca leaves, food offerings, and guided breathing exercises. Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu, a priest and canon lawyer who serves in the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and as papal commissioner for clerical sexual abuse cases, took an active part. Video shared with InfoVatican show him placing coca leaves among the ritual offerings. Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera, secretary general of CELAM (Latin American and Caribbean Episcopal Council) and Bishop Miguel Ángel Cadenas of Iquitos, Peru, were also in attendance.

“This month of August is very special for us, for the Andean worldview; it is the month of Mother Earth, who loves us so much, who is so caring, who is so generous, who gives us food,” a woman leading the opening ceremony told participants.

According to Vatican News, the event, entitled “Weaving Voices for Dignity: For Human Rights and the Common Good,” brought together Catholic leadership in the region with “representatives of social organizations, Indigenous peoples and communities, grassroots groups, and human rights defenders from nine regions of southern Peru.” The report states that the purpose of the meeting was to provide “a space to share experiences from different territories, identify common challenges, and develop proposals in response to the main human rights issues facing the country.”

The ceremony involved distributing coca leaves to attendees and then guided breathing exercises. Participants were instructed to close their eyes and reflect on their interior state before placing the leaves in bowls arranged on an altar on the ground. “We are seeing how our interior is,” the woman said. “This body, this body that we inhabit is land, it is territory.… We thank the earth in this important month: we give her three breaths when we deposit the [coca leaves].” Food, too, was presented as an offering to the earth.

The bishops are offscreen for the video of the offerings. However, the available images clearly show them participating in the offering rather than merely observing it. Bishop Estrada, the auxiliary bishop of Cusco, offered his cocoa leaf just before the Vatican official did.

The ceremony was followed by the meeting’s formal program. Bertomeu told the gathering about his investigation into allegations of systematic sexual abuse and corruption in Peru within the Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana group. It had led to the dissolution of the organization. InfoVaticana also reported that, after his speech, Bertomeu turned over his name card and left the camera frame.

The meeting was formally presented as a Church-supported initiative concerning human dignity and the common good.

“The initiative is […] being developed as part of the preparation path for the upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV to Peru, generating a meeting space between the Church, social organizations, human rights defenders and representatives of different territories to collect their voices and strengthen commitments in favor of human dignity and the common good,” the Vatican News report reads.

The official Vatican account mentioned neither the ritual offering to “Mother Earth” nor Bertomeu’s participation.

Bertomeu drew criticism for concentrating power and allegedly bypassing canonical procedures amid his investigation into the Sodalicio case. This included allegations that he procured an excommunication decree, later revoked, from Pope Francis against journalists who denounced him.

Leo XIV’s connection to the Sodalicio case dates back to his years in Peru, long before his election as Pope. He personally asked Bertomeu to complete the suppression of the organization within a few hours after his election as Pope. While confirming the decision to dissolve the group, Leo XIV emphasized justice for victims and institutional transparency, but remained silent on the controversies regarding Bertomeu’s conduct.

In 1995, while still an Augustinian priest, then-Father Robert Prevost participated in an official theological symposium in São Paulo, Brazil, whose program included a Pachamama “Mother Earth” ritual. The photos unearthed by LifeSiteNews show him kneeling among the participants during the ceremony."

Who Are These People?? "Priest" Denies Bodily Assumption Of Mary At Mass While Allowing ‘Liturgical Dance’!!!

The "priest" in this article has separated himself from the Catholic Church and is a formal heretic!

See if you can stomach this... from lifesitenews.com and written by LifeSiteNews staff Mon Aug 17, 2026 - 4:24 pm EDT: Priest denies bodily Assumption of Mary at Mass while allowing 'liturgical dance' - LifeSite

Comment: do you think that this "priest" will be excommunicated or declared to be in schism? Not likely...

He will continue to be in "good standing" in the "synodal church," but remember, the SSPX has been "excommunicated" and is in "schism"!

"(LifeSiteNews) — During a televised Mass celebrating the 125th anniversary of his parish’s founding on the Feast of the Assumption, a priest delivered a heretical sermon questioning the Assumption of the Virgin Mary while also allowing men and women dressed in brightly colored hoop skirts to perform a liturgical dance.

The troubling liturgy took place at La Asunción parish in the town of Torrelavega, Spain.

“Today we celebrate Mary ascending to heaven, body and soul,” began Fr. Juan Carlos Rodríguez del Pozo’s homily. He then declared:

Obviously, we should not take this literally. No human being ascends to heaven, body and soul. Heaven is not a physical place; it is a state of the soul — a state of fulfillment and happiness.

According to a report by InfoVaticana, a media outlet that covers events in both Rome and Spain, the priest also referred to the many names with which the church honors Mary as “mythology”:

God chooses Mary, a humble woman, a woman of the people. Mythology has shaped her and exalted her to such an extent — adorning her with so many necklaces, crowns, privileges, and titles — because sometimes we must turn to mythology to speak of realities that are earthly (…) realities of this world that are difficult to put into words, and so we have to resort to mythology.

Universitarios Católicos (UC), an organization that says it is obliged “to bring the Cross to the world,” took the heretical parish to task.

“Don Juan Carlos, the Assumption of Mary is NOT something “symbolic” or ‘mythological.’ It is a dogma of faith defined ex cathedra by Pius XII in 1950: ‘she was assumed in body and soul to heavenly glory,’” UC declared. “To deny it is to desert the Catholic faith (Munificentissimus Deus).”

“A priest who does this incurs formal heresy, places himself outside of communion, and exposes souls to error,” the UC post adjured.

“Preach the faith of the Church, not your own,” they insisted.

Before the homily, Fr. Rodríguez introduced a liturgical dance that he then sat and watched with the rest of his congregation.

And now, we are going to watch the parish’s contemplative dance group (…) as they offer us a special tribute for this 125th anniversary. We will see a multitude of colors symbolizing the rose window (…) colors, diversity, and joy (…) They will dance in a circle. The circle represents perfection (…) Around the Eucharistic table, there is a place for everyone (…) So, with this in mind, let us enjoy this moment.

Immediately after the group of men and women “clad in enormous hoop skirts of vivid colors orange, fuchsia, red, purple, light blue, white, and yellow” finished their dance around the altar and throughout the church, the celebrant proclaimed that the dance “has enveloped us in that circle of love and solidarity.”

The InfoVaticana report explained the grievous nature of the priest’s error: “On November 1, 1950, in the Apostolic Constitution *Munificentissimus Deus* — exercising the supreme degree of the papal magisterium — Pius XII declared and defined ‘as a divinely revealed dogma of faith that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.’”

The same document warns that “if anyone — which God forbid — should dare willfully to deny or call into doubt that which We have defined, let him know that he has fallen away from the divine and Catholic faith.”'
