During an audience with Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, on October 24, the Pope authorized the promulgation of six decrees of heroic virtue. The six may now be known as Venerable Servants of God. Among them are two remarkable missionary bishops. Venerable Friedrich Kaiser Depel, born in Germany, was sent as a missionary to Peru in 1939. He later became the first Territorial Prelate of Caravelí and worked to spread Sacred Scripture, strengthen isolated Catholic communities and respond to the shortage of priests. He also founded the Missionary Sisters of Jesus, Word and Victim, a congregation dedicated especially to serving communities where priests were scarce. The second missionary bishop is Venerable Oreste Marengo, an Italian Salesian who travelled to …Siwaju sii

FROM SWISS GUARD TO DEACON: A CALL TO SERVE CHRIST | SG News For eight years, Didier Grandjean stood guard at the Vatican, serving two Popes and protecting the heart of the Catholic Church. Now, the former Pontifical Swiss Guard has taken another kind of oath — one that brings him a major step closer to the Catholic priesthood. Didier Grandjean was ordained a deacon on October 24, 2026, at the Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Albeuve, Switzerland. Bishop Charles Morerod of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg presided over the celebration in Grandjean’s native Gruyère region. But his road to the altar began long before seminary. Before joining the Swiss Guard, Grandjean trained as a landscaper. At 21, he entered the Pontifical Swiss Guard in 2011. He would spend eight years serving at the Vatican — first under Pope Benedict XVI and then under Pope Francis. During his years of service, Grandjean rose to the rank of vice-corporal and worked in communications for the Guard. But something …Siwaju sii
VON DER SCHWEIZERGARDE ZUM DIAKON: EIN RUF ZUM DIENST AN CHRISTUS | SG News Acht Jahre lang versah Didier Grandjean Wache im Vatikan, diente zwei Päpsten und schützte das Herz der katholischen Kirche. Nun hat der ehemalige Schweizergardist einen anderen Eid abgelegt – einen, der ihn dem katholischen Priestertum einen großen Schritt näher bringt. Didier Grandjean wurde am 24. Oktober 2026 in der Kirche Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Albeuve, Schweiz, zum Diakon geweiht. Bischof Charles Morerod von Lausanne, Genf und Freiburg leitete die Feier in Grandjeans Heimatregion Gruyère. Doch sein Weg zum Altar begann lange vor dem Priesterseminar. Bevor er der Schweizergarde beitrat, absolvierte Grandjean eine Ausbildung zum Landschaftsgärtner. Mit 21 Jahren trat er 2011 in die Schweizergarde ein. Acht Jahre lang diente er im Vatikan – zunächst unter Papst Benedikt XVI. und dann unter Papst Franziskus. Während seiner Dienstzeit stieg Grandjean zum Vizekorporal auf und arbeitete in der Kommunikati…Siwaju sii
From the text: drawing on the numerous documents and resources prepared by the Dicastery for Evangelization, it is now more urgent than ever to examine wisely and with discernment the current ways of organizing catechesis, so that the transmission of the faith is not confined to language that can be labeled as ‘scholastic,’ ‘dogmatic,’ or ‘moralistic.’
Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …Siwaju sii
"How dare those bishops pray with Trump!" Meanwhile... Pro-abortion Dems are given awards by 'catholic' dioceses. Oh, and some bishops are telling their 'faithful' to make sure to vote blue! Cuz the poor & refugees and stuff.
Who are these jokers....first they urinate and celebrate then they say we’re sorry...it’s a mistake...out of which deep hole in hell have have these people crawled?
I'm sorry but I don't' want to hear the whining from Dr. Kwasniewski, Matt and the other " wait before we judge Leo" appeasers. Start acting like men! Defend and support the SSPX, denounce the infiltrators or keep straddling the fence.

Una Voce clarifies why traditional Latin Mass pilgrims were denied access to St. Peter’s Basilica. The International Federation Una Voce (FIUV) has issued today a statement correcting misunderstandings surrounding this year’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage to Rome. According to FIUV, the Vatican Secretariat of State rejected the organizers’ request to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in August. The organizers then sought permission for a collective devotion inside the Basilica, as had been permitted in 2023 and 2024 despite the refusal of Mass. That request was also rejected in a letter dated September 30, which reached the organizers only in October. Thus, pilgrims were denied not only Mass in St. Peter’s, but also permission for organized communal prayer inside the Basilica. Meanwhile, permission was granted for a Pontifical Low Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Una Voce thanked the Cardinal Archpriest, sacristans, security personnel, and Dominican …Siwaju sii
Full statement “Many members and supporters take part in the pilgrimage and we as an organisation are a member of the Caetus Internationalis Summorum Pontificum; we regard the annual pilgrimage as having great significance for the movement for the Traditional Mass. We would like to correct some misunderstandings which have arisen over the organisation of the pilgrimage this year. The authorities (through the Secretariat of State) declined the Coetus’ request for the celebration of Mass in St Peter’s, in August. At that point it was hoped and assumed that it would nevertheless be possible to have a collective devotion of some kind for the pilgrims, in St Peter’s, as happened in 2023 and 2024 when permission for Mass was refused. The August letter did not rule this out, so the Coetus requested it. This request was refused in a letter dated 30th September, which was however not received by the organisers until well into October. In the meantime permission was sought and gained for a Prelatial …Siwaju sii
The Letter from the Secretary of State shows the Ad Petri Sedem procession was refused entry to St Peter’s on 30 September, weeks before the event, yet pilgrims were only told the day before. However the Saint Peter's Sacristy had indicated 1 pm was feasible; Secretariat of State still blocked it.

@In Principio May GOD keep Blessing you abundantly for all the good you do. May The Blessed Mother keep protecting you. Do not listen to haters and liars who are full of pride and sick agenda's. Which I am sure you don't do because of your humility. Just in case it was a shock for you from a true hater attacking you. I think you are a wonderful Catholic. I think GOD is very pleased with you. And I thank GOD for sending you to me, always when I needed help the most. I know you won't defend yourself. So forgive me if I do.
If I were you @Jeffrey Ade I would immediately remove your angry face and your sick comment. I have not seen a more true and honest Catholic as this man is. Along with just a few others. GOD Through this man has helped me so many times for so many years, I can't count them. And it's always immediately I am helped when I ask GOD For help. There is not another person on gtv who claims they are Catholic that is as kind, humble or truthful as In Principio. With a few other Catholics I admire for the same virtues. I have never seen him call anyone names. Put anyone down. lie about a person or accuse anyone of anything at all. You need to do one of two things. Either apologize to him. which you will never do. Or remove your angry face and sick comment. The truth is the truth. But it's one thing you hate and fight against. I am forever grateful to GOD for sending this man to us. Especially to me. GOD is so awesome and so Loving and Good. But once again I am sure you have made GOD very displeased …Siwaju sii
