Another Horrendous Example Of The Massive Apostacy In The Novus Ordo: Catholic College Allows Female Anglican ‘Priests’ To Celebrate ‘Eucharist’ Inside Basilica!!

 "A spokesman for the Diocese of Greensburg told LifeSiteNews that Bishop Larry Kulick had nothing to do with the event."

He really didn't know??

But how could he not know that this sacrilege, this blasphemy, this show, was going to be put on by heretics in St. Vincent Basilica???

Here is the complete article from lifesitenews.com and written by Antonino CambriaCatholic college allows female Anglican 'priests' to celebrate 'Eucharist' inside basilica - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

"(LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic college in Pennsylvania allowed a group of Anglicans, including women “priests,” to celebrate an “Anglican Eucharist” inside a historic basilica.

Back in June, St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, permitted the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) to hold on campus its 2024 Provincial Assembly, which included “Eucharistic” services inside St. Vincent Basilica.

Hundreds of Anglican clergy and laity from across the globe, including female “priests” and “deacons,” gathered at the school that is home to the oldest Benedictine monastery in the United States. The event was held from June 25-28 and included liturgy, prayer, talks, and the election of their new “archbishop,” according to the assembly’s schedule of events.

Throughout the assembly, “Anglican Eucharists” were celebrated inside the student chapel, campus gymnasium, and, most glaringly, in St. Vincent Basilica. Impressively clear photos from the June 26 “Eucharist” held in the basilica – which can be viewed by clicking here – show female Anglican “priests” processing into the church, carrying the Gospel, and celebrating the liturgy with their male counterparts.

The Catholic Church teaches that Anglicans and other “ecclesial communities derived from the Reformation” do not have valid holy orders because of broken apostolic succession, and therefore they do not confect a valid Eucharist.

While the ACNA extensively advertised the assembly, St. Vincent College and the Diocese of Greensburg did not mention it on their websites. A spokesman for the Diocese of Greensburg told LifeSiteNews that Bishop Larry Kulick had nothing to do with the event. LifeSiteNews also reached out to St. Vincent College for comment by phone and email, but they have not responded as of publication.

In other parts of the assembly, the female “Rev.” Sue Currie led the laity in “an invitation to pray with Jesus,” and the ACNA held a conclave to elect a new “archbishop,” Steve Wood, from the basilica crypt. Unlike his predecessor, Wood supports women’s “ordination.”

The ACNA is a splinter group that separated from the mainstream Anglican Communion in 2009 in protest of its tolerance of homosexual “marriage” and female “bishops.” The ACNA, however, leaves the question of ordaining women as “priests” and “deacons” up to the discretion of each diocese.

This year’s assembly was not the first time the college allowed the ACNA to use its campus for the event. The 2014 Provincial Assembly was also held at St. Vincent, and video from that year’s event shows female “priests” celebrating the “closing Eucharist.” At that time, then-Archbishop Robert Duncan credited his friendship with then-Archabbot Douglas Nowicki for being allowed to use the campus for that year’s assembly. St. Vincent Basilica also appears on the heretical New Ways Ministry’s list of “LGBTQ-friendly” parishes.

The assembly occurred just months after Pope Francis allowed the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to say “Mass” at the Basilica of St. Bartholomew in Rome. The Pontiff himself led an ecumenical Vespers service along with Welby that same month in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome.

In February, Francis also invited a female Anglican “bishop” to address him and the Council of Cardinals during their discussions on “the role of women in the Church,” sparking concern about the Pope’s possible intention to allow women to be “ordained” in the future."

I wonder how many dumbed-down, gullible "Catholics" attended this sham??  

Doesn't this basilica have to be reconsecrated to rid it of the evils perpetrated within its walls???

Stay away from the novus ordo at all costs!!

St. Teresa Of Avila Found To Be Still Incorrupt After More Than 400 Years!!

 Once again, our dear Lord and God showers His miracles on one of His favorite Saints, St. Teresa of Avila, whose body has been found to still be incorrupt after more than 400 years!!

This from lifesitenews.com and written by  Clare Marie Merkowsky

St. Teresa of Avila found to be still incorrupt after more than 400 years - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

ALBA DE TORMES, Spain (LifeSiteNews) — The more than 400-year-old body of St. Teresa of Avila has been discovered to still be incorrupt after being exhumed for the first time since 1914.   

On August 28, researchers opened St. Teresa of Avila’s coffin for the first time in 110 years, to find that her body remains incorrupt, according to Marco Chiesa, the general postulator of the Order of Discalced Carmelites.  

“Today the tomb of Saint Teresa was opened, and we have verified that it is in the same condition as when it was last opened in 1914,” Chiesa stated.   

“The uncovered parts, which are the face and foot, are the same as they were in 1914,” he continued. “There is no color, no skin color, because the skin is mummified, but you can see it, especially in the middle of the face. It looks good. The medical experts, they can almost see Teresa’s face clearly.” 

Credit: Diocese of Avila

The purpose of exhuming her body was to confirm that it had remained incorrupt since 1914, when her tomb was last opened. The Carmelite nun and Doctor of the Church was first discovered to be incorrupt in 1585, after her death in 1582.  

Since then, her body has remained at the Basilica of the Annunciation in Alba de Tormes in northwestern Spain, except for certain relics that have been sent to other churches for veneration.   

Opening St. Teresa’s coffin is a complicated process, involving 10 keys. Three of the keys are kept in Alba de Tormes, three on loan from the Duke of Alba, and three kept in Rome by the Discalced Carmelite Father General, along with the king’s key. 

The first three keys are used to open the exterior grille, the second three to open the marble sepulcher, and the other four are used to open the silver casket. 

Chiesa explained that the research aims to “check aspects of the saint’s life such as her illnesses and problems, as well as the state of preservation of the body to see how it can be intervened to preserve it for centuries.”  

The process began in August 2022 by the prior of Alba de Tormes and was given approval by the Vatican and Pope Francis. 

He expressed hope to “get to know the saint better, her offering, her last years of life defined by pain.” 

“It has already been detected that she suffered from calcareous spine in her foot which made it impossible for her to walk, but she walked and arrived at Alba de Tormes and her desire was to continue but it was physically difficult,” he revealed.  

The research is expected to take some time and will involve three stages. The first will be to use visual recognition, photographs, and x-rays, then the findings will be examined by Italian laboratories by the team of participating doctors and scientists.  

Finally, the team will likely suggest methods for better preserving the body, before the tomb and will be closed and sealed."

So Now It Is A "Grave Sin" For A Nation To Protect And Defend Its Borders, Its Sovereignty?

 Just when you think the lunacy emanating from the mouth and pen of Bergoglio couldn't get any nuttier, there comes this craziness: 

Pope Francis says deliberately opposing migration ‘is a grave sin’

Remember it was Francis who said that we are guilty of sinning against the earth -- ecological sinning, I guess?? -- because the West, in other words the U.S.! -- consumes most of the resources, but conveniently forgets that we also feed nearly half of the third-world nations.  Not to mention -- he never does! -- the generosity of Americans when it comes to their less fortunate neighbors, especially when disaster strikes.

How clever...

Let the following article from lifesitenews.com sink in, then make up your own mind: Pope Francis says deliberately opposing migration ‘is a grave sin’ - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)


"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis condemned efforts to regulate immigration, stating that those who “systemically” work to “repel migrants” are committing a “grave sin.”

Leaving aside his series of catechetical addresses, Pope Francis today used his Wednesday audience to address the topic of immigration. “I would like to pause with you to think about the people who – even at this moment – are crossing seas and deserts to reach a land where they can live in peace and safety,” he opened.

‘A grave sin’

Using the themes of “seas and deserts,” Francis stated that both seas and deserts are becoming “cemeteries of migrants.” He added that “the tragedy is that many, the majority of these deaths, could have been prevented.”

Francis has often highlighted the topic of migration from the very earliest days of his pontificate.

Today’s general audience saw him amplify his already strong rhetoric as he condemned anyone who took steps to oppose migration:

It must be said clearly: There are those who work systematically and with every means possible to repel migrants – to repel migrants. And this, when done with awareness and responsibility, is a grave sin.

Elaborating on his description of opposing migration as being a “sin,” Francis drew on Sacred Scripture: “Let us not forget what the Bible tells us: ‘You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him’ (Ex 22:21). The orphan, the widow and the stranger are the quintessential poor whom God always defends and asks to be defended.”

The Pontiff also pointed to a disparity between the wealth of different societies, commenting that “in the time of satellites and drones, there are migrant men, women and children that no one must see: they are hidden. Only God sees them and hears their cry. And this is a cruelty of our civilization.”

“It will be good for us today: the Lord is with our migrants in the mare nostrum, the Lord is with them, not with those who repel them,” Francis commented.

The Pope did not distinguish between legal and illegal immigration during his audience address, or on the manner in which immigrants should be welcomed and acclimatize to the local culture – an aspect on which the Church has clear teaching. His words appeared to be a general invitation for increased immigration of any kind.

Open borders and Catholic social teaching

Italy has been facing a spiraling migrant crisis for many years due to the mass influx of individuals into the country, chiefly from African Muslim nations. The harbor town of Lampedusa is a popular destination for such migrant boats due to its position in the far south of Italy, and it is increasingly being overrun by Muslim immigrants. It was here that Pope Francis made his first trip outside of Rome in July 2013.

With much of Europe now seeing a marked increase in violence linked to illegal immigration, often by Muslims, Francis has nevertheless continued to issue a call for more immigration rather than less.

Addressing the audience in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, Francis said that to prevent migrants from suffering in “those lethal deserts” there should be more open borders:

But it is not through more restrictive laws, it is not with the militarization of borders, it is not with rejection that we will obtain this result. Instead, we will obtain it by extending safe and legal access routes for migrants, providing refuge for those who flee from war, violence, persecution and various disasters; we will obtain it by promoting in every way a global governance of migration based on justice, fraternity and solidarity. And by joining forces to combat human trafficking, to stop the criminal traffickers who mercilessly exploit the misery of others.

The Catholic Church’s teaching regarding immigration is a careful mix of charity to the citizens of a nation and those seeking entrance to that nation for just reasons. The Catechism notes that “political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants’ duties toward their country of adoption.”

Furthermore, the Catechism outlines that “immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.”

Such a teaching was expounded upon in 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI in his message for the 97th World Day of Migrants and Refugees. While quoting from Pope John Paul II to defend the “possibility” for people “to enter another country to look for better conditions of life,” Benedict also defended the rights of the home nations to restrict such entries:

At the same time, States have the right to regulate migration flows and to defend their own frontiers, always guaranteeing the respect due to the dignity of each and every human person. Immigrants, moreover, have the duty to integrate into the host Country, respecting its laws and its national identity.

Indeed, prior to this, John Paul II wrote for the same occasion in 2001 that the exercise of the “right to emigrate … is to be regulated, because practicing it indiscriminately may do harm and be detrimental to the common good of the community that receives the migrant.”

Papal praise for Mediterranean project

Concluding his Wednesday audience, Pope Francis praised the “courageous men and women” who “do their utmost to rescue and save injured and abandoned migrants on the routes of desperate hope, in the five continents.”

He included the organization Mediterranea Saving Humans (MSH) among those he described as being “on the front line” in the “fight for civilization.” In recent days, the scandal-encircled organization embarked on another trip to bring illegal immigrants to Italy, and for the first time did so in conjunction with the Italian Catholic bishops’ conference.

Pope Francis sent a handwritten note praising the endeavor.

MSH’s ship “Mare Jonio” has previously been confiscated and fined over disputes with the local authorities regarding their bringing illegal refugees to Italian ports.

Scandal erupted last December when it was reported that controversial activist Luca Casarini – personally invited to the Synod on Synodality by Francis – has had his activity supporting illegal immigration heavily bankrolled by the Italian bishops.

Casarini works with MSH, and the group’s chaplain has been identified as a key link between Italian bishops’ conference president Cardinal Matteo Zuppi and a recent increase in funding from the Italian episcopate."

The Diabolical Sell-Out Of Faithful (Underground) Chinese Catholics Continues Under The Demonic 2018 Agreement Between Apostate Rome And The Murderous Communists!

 A lot of sinister and demonic programs have been initiated under the heavy-handed reign of the Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio -- known as Pope Francis -- especially the near complete sell-out of faithful Chinese Catholics who have been driven underground, or, should I say, back to the catacombs, in order to escape the wrath and hate of the commies.

That 2018 "agreement" between the Vatican and the Red Chinese devils is set to be renewed -- again!!

This, regardless of the proven facts of its initial effects, such as punishing faithful bishops and the lay faithful, and the destruction of many churches, chapels and the replacement of religious icons with "icons" of the mass murderer, Mao -- now burning in hell, no doubt!

And who do we "thank" for this ongoing apostacy foisted on the faithful Catholics in Red China?  Why none other than the pervert, former "cardinal" McCarrick and Bergoglio, that's who.

Does anyone need any more proof of the false "church" created by the new-world-order -- the novus ordo -- and its Communist comrades hell-bent on destroying what is left of the Catholic Church in order to create a man-centered "religion" devoid of the Holy Ghost and sanctifying grace?  

Can anyone ignore or close their eyes to the eradication of literally hundreds of millions of souls murdered or starved to death under Stalin and Mao under their "cultural revolutions"? 

These maniacs worked directly for Satan and his minions and now have allies inside the parallel "catholic" church with wicked and evil clerics wearing the Roman collar, but, in reality, are nothing more ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing, and Judas goats, leading the gullible over the cliff to certain spiritual death.

The following article from lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent highlights the continued treason of these modernist, red monsters...

Beijing recognizes Vatican-appointed bishop ahead of expected renewal of China-Vatican deal - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

"TIANJIN, China (LifeSiteNews) — The Holy See announced that the Chinese government has officially recognized a Vatican-appointed bishop of the underground Church, in what appears as a significant moment in Sino-Vatican relations.

On August 27, the Holy See press office issued a statement detailing that Bishop Melchior Shin Hongzhen had been recognized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government as ordinary of the Diocese of Tianjin:

The Holy See learns with satisfaction that today, August 27, 2024, H.E. Msgr. Melchior Shi Hongzhen is officially recognized for the purposes of the civil order as Bishop of Tianjin (Municipality of Tianjin, People’s Republic of China).

 The Holy See commented that the development “is a positive fruit of the dialogue established over the years between the Holy See and the Chinese government.”

Bishop Shi, 94, had been appointed by the Vatican as coadjutor bishop of Tianjin in 1982, and succeeded Vatican-approved and fellow “underground” Church Bishop Stephen Li Side, who died in 2019 aged 92. The diocese, however, had been without a bishop since 2005.

Like his predecessor, Bishop Melchior Shi has consistently refused to join the state-approved church in China – the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association (CPCA) – and has subsequently been under house arrest for a number of years.

Diocese of Tianjin: pivotal see in Sino-Vatican relations

The Diocese of Tianjin has long been a contended one, with the CCP authorities refusing to recognize the Vatican-appointed bishops. While still a priest, Bishop Stephen Li was arrested in 1958 upon the launch of the CPCA. He spent four years in jail before being released. Arrested once again in 1963, he was sent to work camps until 1980.

Bishop Li was then secretly consecrated bishop of the Diocese of Tianjin in 1982, but the CCP refused to recognize him. Imprisoned again in the late 1980s, he was released on house arrest until his death.

In his place, the CCP positioned Bishop Giuseppe Shi Hongchen as leader of Tianjin – a former member of the underground Church who had been consecrated an auxiliary of Tianjin by Bishop Li. Bishop Giuseppe Shi died in 2006.

According to the Holy See, the diocese has “56,000 faithful, distributed in 21 parishes, served by 62 priests and a good number of women religious.” A 2019 report by AsiaNews attested to “100 thousand faithful, cared for by 40 official and 20 underground priests” with a further 60 CPCA priests and sisters.

AsiaNews – a reliable documenter of news pertaining to the Church in the region – previously described the Diocese of Tianjin as “a significant test for the agreement on episcopal appointment.” Such a comment came in light of the much-discussed and highly controversial 2018 deal the Vatican has with Beijing.

The officially secret Sino-Vatican deal is believed to recognize the state-approved church in China and allows the CCP to appoint bishops. The Pope apparently maintains veto power, although in practice it is the CCP that has control, as demonstrated by a series of recent episcopal appointments by the CCP. It also allegedly allows for the removal of legitimate bishops to be replaced by CCP-approved bishops.

In a 2018 letter to Chinese Catholics, Francis described the deal as forming a “new chapter of the Catholic Church in China.”

But outside the walls of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace, criticism has come from Catholic clergy, freedom advocates, and China experts. The highly secretive deal has been styled by Hong Kong emeritus Cardinal Joseph Zen as an “incredible betrayal,” with the much-loved cardinal further accusing the Vatican of “selling out” Chinese Catholics.

“All bishops who refuse to join the Catholic Patriotic Association are being placed under house arrest, or disappeared, by the CCP,” China expert Steven Moser told LifeSiteNews. “Although the Vatican said several years ago that the Sino-Vatican agreement does not require anyone to join this schismatic organization, refusal to do so results in persecution and punishment. And the Vatican stands by and does nothing.”

Tianjin a sign of the deal’s renewal?

In April this year, Vatican Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin confirmed to this correspondent that the Holy See hoped to renew the deal this fall, for the third such renewal.

READ: EXCLUSIVE: Cardinal Parolin confirms Vatican aims to renew secretive deal with China this year

Prior to the 2022 renewal, the Holy See and CCP authorities held joint discussions in Tianjin in early autumn, and the Vatican delegation also visited Bishop Melchior Shi in his house arrest. The Holy See team was led by Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, an official who was heavily instrumental in orchestrating the original Sino-Vatican deal, alongside Cardinal Parolin.

Various Vatican sources have confided to certain members of the Vatican press corps that relations between Beijing and the Vatican have apparently “made progress.” This, the officials said, was largely due to the current bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Stephen Chow, SJ, who has highlighted a spirit of “dialogue” between the two parties.

READ: EXCLUSIVE: Incoming Hong Kong cardinal highlights ‘dialogue’ between Vatican and Communist China

Notwithstanding such power games, the deal has led to a heightened increase in religious persecution, which the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China described as a direct consequence of the deal. In its 2020 report, the Commission wrote that the persecution witnessed is “of an intensity not seen since the Cultural Revolution.”

Did Crooks Act Alone In His Attempt To Kill President Trump?

 With each passing day, more and more information is surfacing that indicates that Thomas Matthew Crooks did not act alone in his failed attempt (by the Hand of God?) to kill President Trump!

Flash!  Flash!  Flash!  

I just checked a previous article I wrote and posted on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.

Video "Mysteriously" Disappears From The Net!!!


Well, I just checked the video, and the forensic sequence of the shots fired are, in fact, still in the video!  


(Start at minute 17:45 and see and hear for yourself that there were at least two shooters!)

Now, back to my new article...

This from thegatewaypundit.com and written by  

"The parents of Thomas Matthew Crooks have hired a high-powered legal firm as the investigation continues into their son’s July 13 attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump.

The firm of Quinn Logue, which is based in Pittsburgh, will represent Matthew Crooks and his wife Mary, according to the Daily Mail.

The firm, founded by some of Pittsburgh’s top attorneys, says it specializes in “criminal defense and civil suits including wrongful death and personal injury.”

The Mail, citing a supposed anonymous family member, reported that as the FBI investigates the shooting, the agency remains uncertain exactly how much the gunman’s parents knew about his plans.

“The FBI still very much has questions about how much they knew and how he [Thomas] slipped through the net,” the source reportedly said.

Prior to the shooting, the parents contacted law enforcement, saying their son had not responded to their attempts to contact him.

Crooks’s parents have made no statement after the shooting, and when confronted by the media have asked to be left alone.

Some Republicans have voiced concerns over the pace of the investigation and the lack of any apparent motive in the shooting, which killed one rallygoer while wounding Trump and two spectators.

“It’s been more than a month since former President Trump’s near-assassination, yet the FBI has still not offered Congress or the public any real insights into Crooks’ motivation,” Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said, according to the New York Post.

“The FBI ought to stop dragging its feet and provide a serious update on their investigation. Every day the FBI, as well as the Secret Service, keep the American people in the dark is another day wasted,” he said.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who is part of the Senate panel investigating the assassination attempt, was more blunt.

“All I can really tell you is the Secret Service, FBI are basically dragging their feet. They’re stonewalling us,” Johnson said.

The lack of progress has led Republican Rep. Mike Walz of Florida to question the federal dogma that Crooks acted alone, according to the Daily Mail.

“I don’t understand, and I don’t have any answers yet to help me understand how the [Secret] Service and DHS came out so quickly and said – and I think the FBI as well, but I’ll have to check that – and said, he operated alone,” Waltz said.

“How do you know that mere days into your investigation?”

“You can’t tell us his motive, but you could tell us he operated alone? You can’t get into these encrypted overseas accounts, but you can tell us he acted alone?” he said, referring to accounts found on Crooks’s phone.

“So, I don’t buy that yet.”
