France: Warning Call from the Society of St. Pius X’s District Superior
On Thursday, March 4, 2010, Fr. Régis de Cacqueray, Superior of the Society of St. Pius X's district of France, published an letter entitled: “The Bishops: Guardians of the Faith or Proselytes Protecting Other Cults?” Fr. de Cacqueray reflects on the role of the bishop, guardian of the flock and preacher of the faith, “successor of the Apostles and martyrs”. Doubtless there have always been good and bad bishops, “there have been heroic bishops and there have been weak bishops. There have been Hilaries of Poitier and Bossuets. There have been Cauchons and Talleyrands. But never before has a nation, formerly ...
Interview with Bishop Fellay on the Rosary Crusade
Your Excellency, you called for a Rosary Crusade from May 1st, 2009, until May 31st 2010. What was the reason for such an important effort? Answer. Is is obvious that we are not in normal times. Also that we still are in the time covered by the message of Fatima. In 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared three little children and promised that at the end her immaculate Heart shall triumph. In 2000 apparently something of what was called the “third secret” of Fatima was released by the Vatican, to the unsatisfaction of almost everybody. And frankly, it is not over, ...

In the face of “relativism and subjectivism”, the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas
On January 28, Benedict XVI received in audience the 350 members of the seven Pontifical Academies, the day after their 14th public meeting organized in Rome on the theme of The Theological Formation of the Priest. After evoking the prestigious past of these institutions, the pope drew the attention of their members to the absence “of ideal and moral points of reference” in contemporary society. “As I have affirmed on several occasions, he declared, today’s culture strongly suffers at once from a vision dominated by relativism and subjectivism and from methods and attitudes at times superficial or even banal which detract from the ...
Algeria: No reciprocity
As reported by the Algerian daily L’Expression, a conference on the theme of religion organized by the government was held in Algiers on February 10, 2010. The Most Reverend Ghaleb Bader, Archbishop of Algiers, in particular, raised the question: since "Muslims welcome Christians who convert to Islam, why shouldn’t Christians do the same?” The Algerian daily noted in its online edition of February 11 that "everyone took exception to his remarks. Professor Mustapha Cherif, who attended the conference in his capacity as an Islamic scholar, was astonished by this request for reciprocity." In his speech, Archbishop Bader was no doubt ...
Catholic Churches Attacked in India
In January three Catholic churches were attacked in Karnatak, a state in the south of India. According to the local media, as well as Christian representatives, these attacks are the reprisals announced by extremist Hindu groups who had threatened to attack the Church if the Indian government did not sufficiently sanction the recent aggressions (two of which caused deaths) against the very numerous Indian community that works in Australia. On January 22 a group of Hindu extremists attempted to tear down a cross erected near the church of Our Lady of Lourdes in the diocese of Karwar. According to the local ...
