Yesterday, the Vatican published the program for the Consistory of June 26–27, thus providing a picture of the themes, personalities, and processes that Leo XIV wants for the Church. The scheduling information had already been leaked on June 17. Francis' Personnel Remains The Vatican has entrusted the four principal sessions to Cardinals Grzegorz Ryś (Poland), Víctor Manuel Fernández (Curia), Stephen Brislin (South Africa), and Mario Grech (Curia). All four are prominent figures associated with Francis' "project". Cardinals Fernández and Grech are homosexual activists. Francis' Synodal Procedures Remain MessaInLatino immediately noted that the structure of the meeting is unmistakably similar to the synods of Francis: small groups, listening sessions, synthesis reports, and strictly timed interventions. Two of the four sessions are organized around Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica humanitas. This means discussions about peace, reconciliation, social fragmentation, technology, and power. …Okuningi
Louie Verrecchio, June 17, 2026 Posts discussing the Thesis (N.B. Cassiciacum), meaning those that point to its deficiencies, always elicit an unusually large response from readers. My most recent one is no exception. One of the respondents is a dear priest friend whose opinions I genuinely value. Rather than reply to his comments in private, the way they were offered, I decided (and he approved) to make a post of our exchange for the benefit (God willing) of all concerned. Initially, it seemed that the points he briefly raised could be addressed in an equally brief manner. I should have known better. The ideas expressed in the Thesis simply do not lend themselves to concise answers as each one invites even more commentary. Below, therefore, is a limited attempt to speak to my friend’s comments. I’ll return to this exercise in a future post soon. In any case, I hope readers will find this effort worthwhile. My friend began his message: Recently you wrote, “the Church possesses within …Okuningi
One message for Muslims, another for Catholics: While Pope Leo XIV described the Great Mosque of Algiers in April as "a divine, sacred space" where "God is present", Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, Prefect of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, told AdVaticanum.com on June 22 that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue" and "not as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
After Leo XIV told moslems that mosques are "sacred space", Cardinal Koovad says that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces (Mosques) as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue, not as a denial of the uniqueness of Christ or as approval of all religious beliefs equally."

Sinking Titanic Back at the Vatican: "We are human beings, not techno-robots," Leo XIV told the children of the Vatican summer camp today, encouraging them to limit screen time, pray, cultivate real friendships, and avoid becoming dependent on technology. The scene featured the Pope addressing hundreds of children beneath a giant inflatable sinking Titanic. The plastic 'bouncy castle' in the shape of the Titanic has been in use for several years.

Running Gloria.tv is not an easy task. Neither is reading it, contributing to it, discussing on it, accepting other users, or donating to keep it alive. Yet together we have built the only Catholic social media platform. It serves the Faith. It serves its users. And increasingly, it serves freedom. Gloria.tv is financed entirely by donations. Almost all of them are small; many are very small. They are given for God's sake. There are no tax deductions. There are no foundations. There are no wealthy sponsors with agendas. There is only the support of ordinary people, many of them retired, who believe that Gloria.tv should exist. Every summer brings the same challenge. Donations decline sharply, while the costs of operating Gloria.tv remain the same. That is why your donation is greatly appreciated - or rather, needed. If you can help, please donate.

The Church has “frequently wounded the LGBT community through judgmentalism and exclusion,” Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy claimed in a June 20 homily at the homosexual conference Outreach, held at the Jesuits’ Georgetown University. He pointed to "two developments during the pontificate of Leo XIV". The first was a remark Leo XIV made during his trip to Africa in April, when he said that “the unity or division in the church should not revolve around sexual matters.” Cardinal McElroy commented: “Too often both in magisterial statements and on the popular level, sexual sins have been condemned with an ardor that effectively places them in the eyes of many believers as the core moral obligation of Christians.” Leo XIV instead pointed “to the comparative importance of economic justice, war and peace, immigration and racism as key elements of the Christian moral life.” The second development cited by McElroy was the publication of the report of synod's Study Group 9 in May and …Okuningi
"[T]he unity or division in the church should not revolve around sexual matters.” . I agree with this completely, however it is the fruitcake community who insist upon showcasing their respective highly disordered natures. They are the source and cause of the division.
