Self-proclaimed "faithful creators". Yet, St. Pius X said that "the first and greatest criterion of the faith, the ultimate and unassailable test of orthodoxy is obedience to the teaching authority of the Church, which is ever living and infallible" (Con Vera Soddisfazione).

This exchange between @Michael_J_Matt and @FrDaveNix is long, but worth pondering. The key phrase in Michael's reply:…
In meeting with Ghana's new ambassador to Vatican, Leo XIV "stressed that the Catholic Church did not seek to proselytise but rather to promote the welfare, dignity and integral development of every human person through education, health care, social outreach and advocacy for
Waiting for X to temporarily disable use of title 'Co-Redemptrix' for posts made by Catholics - to ensure nothing gets misconstrued. 😏

BREAKING –
X has temporarily disabled translation from Hebrew to English for posts made by IsraeIi users
X made this decision because such Hebrew posts often call for viоIence and genоcide https://t.co/UKbf9D5OIZ
OK, but let's be fair and realistic in all directions. Leo had already allowed the LGBTQ lobby to march through the Holy Door into St. Peter's Basilica. Why wouldn't he eat at a table with transvestites? Aside from a few differences in personal style, there is virtually nothing
The latest storm over Pope Leo XIV began with a headline claiming he dined with transgender activists at the Jubilee of the Poor. Within hours it became “proof” that Leo is simply Francis II and that the Church is plunging deeper into chaos.
But when you dig into the reporting,
@ThaddeusPapist Nice try, but that was Innocent III's position as a private doctor at best, not his magisterial teaching. https://t.co/5EvtPFX7p7 https://t.co/aVRxBVxXsb

Synod’s vapid interim report offers word salads, not moral or theological clarity - https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/synods-vapid-interim-report-offers-word-salads-not-moral-or-theological-clarity/
Leo asks for liturgy that is ‘sober in its solemnity’ while respecting popular piety - https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2025/11/17/pope-leo-asks-for-liturgy-that-is-sober-in-its-solemnity-while-respecting-popular-piety/ Blah, blah. Some nice words, not unexpected, but absolutely NOTHING will change, and he will do absolutely NOTHING about it.
@csmjr91090 You don't see the essential difference between the two positions? One acting in what he believes is the absence of the proper authority, and the other AGAINST what he believes is the proper authority?

@msirilla1 Nobody's in actual fact, but only because there isn't a local bishop at present. At least that's my position. Dr. Kwasniewski's position, on the contrary, differs in essence: He insists that there are lawful diocean bishops all over the place, yet he preaches refusal of
@ComesDeSerenno That's a good point I hadn't considered. Unless they find some way to exclude him from being co-consecrator... 😉
“I ask you to cultivate reciprocity through relationships based on gratuitousness and experiences that foster fraternity and dialogue between different cultures”, a profound Leo XIV tells Pontifical Lateran University. https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2025/11/14/251114c.html
“The Washington Post reports that at the lunch for the poor, no transgender person sat next to the Pope. Seats were assigned at random, replies Cardinal Krajewski. It is not the Holy See that chooses participants by 'category', but perhaps those demanding gestures from Prevost
‘Cardinal’ Matteo Zuppi, president of Italian Novus Ordo bishops: “The end of Christendom does not signify the disappearance of faith, but rather the transition to a time when faith is no longer taken for granted by the social context but becomes a personal and conscious
In encounter with Hollywood celebrities, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV sings insufferable ode to cinema, filled with adulations, buzzwords, and not a hint of criticism - https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/speeches/2025/november/documents/20251115-mondo-del-cinema.html What an utterly useless and embarrassing speech!
@BreeSolstad @HettrickMichael “…it is to give proof of a submission which is far from sincere to set up some kind of opposition between one Pontiff and another. Those who, faced with two differing directives, reject the present one to hold to the past, are not giving proof of obedience to the authority which
In address to ‘Catholic’ Biblical Federation, Leo XIV claims he wants for “God’s Word [to] take root in people’s hearts and lead all to live in his grace”: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/speeches/2025/november/documents/20251117-febic.html He could lead by example and start telling the Jewish authorities that salvation is no longer found
