Visited Bishop Williamson’s House-Chapel. Later had tea with him, and after he and I had a terrific lunch. He’s doing well, very generous and his advice is stellar. Please do pray for our Bishop’s continued health!

Excerpts of @RealAdVaticanum obituary for Archbishop Héctor Aguer:
"Two days later, at his first Mass, according to Fr Christian Viña, the Archbishop’s secretary, Fr Gustavo Podestá delivered words that would acquire particular significance in retrospect. “Héctor, you will live your priesthood in a world clouded by fear. You will live in a bleeding and torn Church. And how much we need you, man of God!”"
"According to Fr Viña, Archbishop Aguer believed that speaking too openly about developments within the Church while still governing La Plata could have resulted in his premature removal.... On 16 December 2024, during a visit from Fr Viña, the priest told him that he had begun preparing his obituary under the proposed title Monsignor Aguer: Bishop with the scent of Christ, who knew how to face the wolves. Archbishop Aguer smiled and responded: “It’s true the wolves lashed out at me a few times, but they didn’t stop me…”
The interview, conducted during the preparations for Leo XIV’s visit, would become his last. It was a final opportunity to hear directly from an archbishop who had spent much of his retirement defending positions he believed were being abandoned or weakened within the Church.

I visited the grave of our dear Bishop Williamson. Please pray for him, though I’m certain he’s a saint! His motto Fidelis Inveniatur — to be found faithful — is so fitting.
Disastrous approach by the Vatican
LATEST: Cardinal Parolin confirms Pope Leo XIV has given his assent to episcopal appointments under the Holy See–China Agreement.
“That has been the line, so there have been no changes. The appointments of bishops are made according to the provisions of the Agreement, and the Pope has given his assent to this.”
Responding to Abp Gallagher’s remarks on its imperfections, His Eminence said: “Of course, all agreements are imperfect. And therefore the one on China is too.”

A brilliant interview by Niwa, it’s great to see the bishop on these issues
EXCLUSIVE: Saturday morning, before the procession and the Mass at Saint Mary Major’s Basilica, we sat down with Bishop Athanasius Schneider.
In the interview we discuss how future harmony between the Society of Saint Pius X and Rome might be achieved. We also examine whether the 1986 Assisi interreligious meeting constitutes ordinary magisterium. Bishop Schneider explains why sedevacantism is wrong, and we reflect on the complex legacy of Pope Francis.
We asked other questions beyond these as well.
Join us as His Excellency offers his candid insights on these crucial questions facing the Church.

A very interesting character, not one with much episcopal regality
EXCLUSIVE: As the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage takes place this week, Bishop Fernando Rifan sits down with me and tells me his successor and any bishop consecrated for Campos to govern according to the old rite, depends entirely on Pope Leo.
In an exclusive interview with me for @RealAdVaticanum , the Apostolic Administrator of the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney looks back on the 2002 reconciliation of Campos and the decree Animarum bonum. Twenty-four years on, he calls the return to Rome “truly providential.”
On what Rome should do next with the traditional Mass, His Excellency says the best thing is to pray, and that the polarization in the liturgy must be overcome if there is to be “a genuine liturgical peace.”
On the Society of Saint Pius X, he is blunt. Of the irregular path taken in 1981 and 1988, he says, “To err is human; to correct oneself and to forgive is Christian; to persevere in error is diabolical.”

But will he correct the Vatican? Will it only be passive aggressive statements
LATEST: In today’s keynote for the Marian Conference, His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke defends the title Co-Redemptrix against the caution of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in Mater populi fidelis.
“The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, participated in an altogether unique way in the mystery of the Redemptive Incarnation, and is rightly called Co-Redemptrix.” For over 500 years, he says, the title has meant that Mary".
His Eminence distinguishes the objective redemption accomplished on the Cross, in which Mary cooperated uniquely, from the subjective application of its fruits, in which she is Mediatrix of all graces and the baptised become co-redeemers by offering their sufferings.
“Our Lady participates in both of these phases of the work of redemption, while all other Christians can participate in the application of the graces of redemption to specific persons and situations. Hence, we can all be called co-redeemers in actu secundo.”
His Eminence says that if Mary cannot be called Co-Redemptrix, Christians cannot call themselves co-redeemers on the journey of faith: “So too, to the degree that we unite our hearts to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we participate in the saving mission of Christ. We can rightly be called co-redeemers.”

While Sheen went full Novus Ordo and Vatican II, and toured the country with his cape telling jokes, Lefebvre came out of retirement to train priests and reject Vatican II and the Novus Ordo.

Timeline Cleanse: Solemn I Vespers at SSPX's US Seminary, for the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Following liturgical custom, Solemn I Vespers are celebrated the eve of a major feast, the start of the liturgical day.
Because Our Lady of Sorrows is a special patron of the SSPX, the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the BVM is celebrated as a First Class Feast throughout the Society.

@RealAdVaticanum sat down with social media superstar Braden Peters, aka @Clavicular0 , for a wide-ranging interview on Catholicism, looksmaxxing, morality, Protestantism and the importance of order in society.
On why he was drawn to Catholicism:
“I really liked the order that followed, having some sort of authority that I believed to be virtuous, keeping people in line, because I do not think that the average person is very smart.”
On the Catholic Church’s aesthetics — and Protestant churches:
“If you look at those Gothic cathedrals in countries like France and Germany, that is definitely a huge draw, because aesthetics is something that is hugely influential...Then you look at Protestant churches. They are not really as beautiful...Sometimes they are in the basement of a building, or they just do not take a lot of pride in the aesthetics.”
Clavicular also challenges the reasoning of St Alphonsus Liguori on the relationship between temptation, beauty and virtue:
“You are not a moral person if you are not moral by choice — if it is just moral by the consequences of your genetics or your laziness...If you do not have the opportunity to turn down these opportunities from women, I do not really consider that a just person.”
