Cardinal Sarah's TLM Canceled in ParisNext Saturday is the 40th anniversary of the French organization responsible for the Chartres Pilgrimage.As part of that happy event, Cardinal Robert Sarah, former prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, was supposed to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass in the Church of Saint-Roch in Paris.Incredibly, the Archbishop of Paris, Laurent Bernard Marie Ulrich, has decided to cancel Cardinal Sarah, prohibiting him from offering that important anniversary Mass in Paris.And why was Cardinal Sarah canceled? I believe it is because the mainstream Church is becoming increasingly concerned over the...

As the NBA scene grows more uncivil — last week, Warriors star and repetitive reprobate Draymond Green put on a vulgar public show following his assault of a teammate — commissioner Adam Silver continues to whistle past the dump. Silver seems unwilling to firmly or even tangentially deal with what’s increasingly plaguing the NBA. Brings to mind Silver’s mentor, the late NBA commissioner David Stern, who, during an interview with NBC’s Bob Costas, scoffed at the notion that taunting and trash-talking inspire too many on-court fights. The next season, the NBA added anti-taunting rules to reduce the number of on-court...

Ecclesial Center-Right and Center-Left Strategies Have Been Tried and Found Wanting — Article by Abbé Claude Barthe Vatican II, we need more Vatican II! But the reforming elixir has long since grown stale...Reforming what, by the way? Francis's grand design, symbolized by Prædicate Evangelium, the constitution that reforms the Curia, is as much a reform of the Church according to the spirit of Vatican II as it is a reform of the Curia. There is certainly an ambiguity about the object -- the Curia, the Church -- which is prolonged and increased by the media, but the links between...

Rethinking Obedience in an Age of ResistanceLast weekend, I had the pleasure of attending and covering The Remnant’s Catholic Identity Conference (CIC), and it was spectacular. The theme of this year’s event largely focused on how to resist a globalist push in the world and, sadly, in the Church. On Saturday, John-Henry Westen of LifeSiteNews appeared alongside Remnant editor Michael Matt and his co-organizer of the event, Eric Frankovitch, where all three declared resistance to Pope Francis, insofar as the pope has promulgated error or scandal.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowWesten went through a litany of errors and scandals that have...

"Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you." "But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd." "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." Matthew, Chapter 9 1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick...

Müller: "How Is It Possible That Cardinal Grech Is More Intelligent Than Christ?"The Vatican Synod’s approach of "listening to the individual [homosex] experience and desires" is wrong, Cardinal Müller told EWTN.com (October 6).The Church needs to listen to God’s words, not to "our strange reflections" and a "self-revelation,” Müller said explaining that Church’s doctrine isn’t “like the program of a political party” than can be changed by votes.Commenting on the cheep slogan “all are welcome,” he stressed that one has to confess one's sins and change one’s life according to God’s Commandments to be "welcome" in the Church.The Vatican’s Synod...

Conspiracy theorists celebrated this week after the arrest of the CEO of an election software company, who they accused of flipping the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. But is their rejoicing actually valid? The fiasco began on Monday after the New York Times released an article centered around a small elections company in Michigan that had become the target of unfounded voter fraud claims. The company, known as Konnech, had been accused of not only having secret ties to China but of giving the Chinese Communist Party backdoor access to personal data on roughly two million poll workers in...

Former President Trump is opening up his wallet to save Herschel Walker, whose Senate campaign has been reeling from allegations he paid for a woman to abort his child. Trump endorsed the one-time NFL star early in Georgia’s GOP Senate primary and Walker’s showing next month will be a big test of the former president’s continued influence with voters. Make American Great Again Inc., a Trump-backed Super PAC, injected $750,000 into ad spending in the Peach State in support of Walker, Politico reported Friday. An ad for the group now airing leans heavily into culture war issues and attacks against...

Russia’s Defense Ministry on Saturday appointed a general with a reputation for ruthlessness and long experience fighting in complex wars to command its forces in Ukraine, where repeated setbacks have provoked highly unusual public criticism of the military as incompetent. Gen. Sergei Surovikin, 55, who was already the commanding officer of Southern Military District and whose troops have been facing a fierce Ukrainian counteroffensive, will lead what Russia still calls its “special military operation,” the ministry said in a statement. Although the general has specialized in infantry for much of his career, he also has commanded the Russian air force....

The homeless man accused of fatally slashing a union steamfitter aboard a Brooklyn L train was free without bail after a 2021 knife attack in Brooklyn. Alvin Charles, 43, was arrested in July 2021 and charged with attempted first-degree assault, accused of stabbing a man in the arm and stomach that April. Prosecutors asked for $50,000 bail, but Judge Jessica Earle-Gargen granted him supervised release. Law enforcement sources said he was complying with the terms of his release and showing up at his court appearances, so when a grand jury indicted him on attempted murder charges in March, Supreme Court...

A new PayPal policy update appears to authorize the company to pull a significant sum of money from the accounts of users who spread “misinformation. ”Effective November 3, the new conditions will be added to the restricted activity section of the PayPal User agreement, the Daily Wire first reported. Changes include prohibitions on “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that “promote misinformation. ” While the prior policy already forbade “hate,” “intolerance,” and discrimination, the new one now also explicitly applies to specific “protected groups” and “individuals or groups based on protected characteristics.” Identities under this...

The man accused of stabbing eight and killing two in Las Vegas on Thursday walked free from another violent crime charge last year after the district attorney failed to prosecute in time. Court documents exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com reveal that Guatemalan alleged undocumented migrant Yoni Barrios, 32, was charged in 2019 with criminal domestic violence by Los Angeles district attorney Jackie Lacey, who has since stepped down. Had he been convicted, Barrios would likely have been imprisoned and deported and would not have been free to commit the senseless slaughter on the Vegas strip this week.

Former CNN President Jeff Zucker addressed his time at the helm of the media company on Friday, saying that it was not “anti-Trump,” an assertion that is directly contrary to former President Trump’s attacks. “As I said all the time, we were not anti-Trump. We were pro-truth,” he said of CNN’s coverage of the former president. “If that came off as anti-Trump because he didn’t tell the truth, I’m not going to apologize for that.” Trump routinely hit CNN, accusing the outlet of being “fake news.” At one point, CNN correspondent Jim Acosta was barred from the White House after...
