++Gänswein Removed From All Vatican Posts
Archbishop Georg Gänswein in an audience with Pope Francis on January 9, 2023. It was the last audience for the German prelate, and there will be no farewell celebration either. Before July 1, Gänswein has to leave the Vatican without an office or assignment.
(Rome) Archbishop Georg Gänswein, officially still Prefect of the Papal Household and former private secretary of Benedict XVI, had been removed from all Vatican posts, as reported by the traditional blog Messa in Latino, citing a "cardinal source".
Pope Benedict XVI, shortly before resigning from office, appointed Msgr. Gänswein as Titular Archbishop of Urbisaglia and Prefect of the Papal Household in 2012. Even after the German Pope withdrew to the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican Gardens, Gänswein accompanied him as private secretary.
It was an open secret in the Vatican that Francis only left him in office him out of consideration for Benedict XVI. Gänswein's dismissal would be viewed by many Catholics as an affront to Benedict XVI. Francis was not interested in alienating the faithful any more than they already did over a personal issue.
At the beginning of 2020, when the post-synodal exhortation on the Amazon Synod was to be used to lay hands on the sacrament of Holy Orders, Francis shied away at the last moment when Cardinal Robert Sarah, together with Benedict XVI. presented a passionate plea for priestly celibacy in book form. Francis raged unmistakably because of the thwarted plans, as reported by informed circles. According to the motto "If you can't beat the master, beat his servant", Gänswein drew all of the Bergoglian lightning bolts. At the same time, Francis suspended Benedict's private secretary from his official post as prefect of the papal household.
"Francis said humiliation would do me good"
As Msgr. Gänswein writes in his memoirs published earlier this year. It has remained so to this day. Gänswein continued to receive his pay for the post, but no longer had a job.
On January 9th, four days after the funeral of Benedict XVI, Francis called Gänswein. Then it was said presumably that the encounter was about Gänswein's future. Several weeks later, rumors circulated that he was being transferred to a Central American country as apostolic nuncio. The statement never had any basis, but it confirmed that Francis had told the German prelate that he no longer had any need for him now that Benedict was dead.
The day before the last audience for Monsignor Gänswein, on January 8th, at the Angelus in St. Peter's Square, Francis had said:
"Let's ask ourselves: am I a person who divides or a person who shares?"
as Msgr. Gänswein writes in his memoirs published earlier this year. It has remained so to this day. Gänswein continued to receive his pay for the post, but no longer had a job.
The statement was obviously not meant to be self-critical, but rather rhetorical.
In the meantime, the rumor had spread, much more plausibly, that Gänswein had to return to his seething homeland without an office or assignment. He would not be the first dignitary for whom Francis no longer has a need. Interestingly, it hits a striking number of Germans, i.e. churchmen of that nation, whose highest exponents, secular and ecclesiastical, rehearse the rebellion against the divine order, especially sub et cum Francis.
Benedict XVI died on December 31, 2022. Shortly thereafter, Francis gave Gänswein six months to pack his bags as mentioned at the audience. The cessation of salary payments fits in with this. In addition, according to Messa in Latino, Gänswein was ordered to vacate his apartment in the Vatican, which he had paid for with his own funds to renovate. A subsequent tenant from Bergoglia will be happy about it. The office of a prefect of the papal house should not be filled under Francis anyway. As it was said some time ago in the papal circle, it works without it, as has been shown since Gänswein's suspension more than three years ago.
Official confirmation of the impeachment and Gänswein's removal from the Vatican, decisions that only Francis himself can make, is not yet available.
[Update: June 15, 2023] No sooner said than done: With today's daily bulletin, the Vatican press office announced that Archbishop Gänswein had already lost his position as head of the Prefecture of the Papal House on February 28th and, as was recently leaked, sent back to his home diocese by Pope Francis. Msgr. Gänswein has to leave the Vatican on July 1st.

“Gotcha Moment”: Sign of God’s Love of Holiness and the Immemorial Mass
Edit: “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.”
These things don’t happen generally in the NO, except perhaps where there is great faith or irreligion.
And of course this is an endorsement of the correct political order. Where does this bloodless spiritualism come from?
We don’t sell t-shirts and religious goods, so we should be able to safely, unscrupulously, if you will, see God’s hand in this as an endorsement towards “our” side, that is the side of the Catholique et Royale.

Fake Eucharistic Miracle in Connecticut
Edit: basically, one of the Eucharistic Monsters didn’t have enough Hosts and probably forgot that they/their had additional Hosts in the ciborium. Alzheimer’s is the first thing I thought of.
Another sign that there’s likely nothing miraculous going on at these “Masses”, besides the fact that a Eucharistic Monster hands out sacrilegious Communion in the hand, is that the tabernacle has no veil.
Presybyter: “…Sometimes it comes in this weird way…” After saying how it was “pretty cool”, a few laity scattered in the church gave themselves some half-hearted applause. How lugubrious!
If you want to be demoralized, go to the Novus Ordo.
The parish is Saint Maximilian Kolbe and was the last parish attended by the founder of Knights of Columbus.
It looks fairly conservative. Surely, most of the laity who attend there believe in the Dogma of real presence of Christ in Holy Communion. I’m sure in most liberal parishes, the “faithful” would scoff at this as much as I am but for different reasons.
Can you imagine a more humdrum and almost profane way God could manifest Himself? It’s not cool at all.
What’s even weirder, is that the pastor allegedly couldn’t give Holy Communion because his thumb was bandaged.
The Pastor is Rev. Joseph Crowley of the St Maximilian Kolbe Parish at St Thomas Catholic church in Thomaston, CT. This parish was previously known as St Thomas Parish until a merger and was the last parish served by Blessed Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus.

New York Church Has Blasphemous Display
Edit: someone will probably tear this down, but this “parish” even has a groomer salon where vile perverts meet and broaden their social circles.
Of course it’s run by the Paulists. They started out as a universalist heretical organization and became more open about what they are as time goes on.

[Catholic Snooze Agency] A controversial art display at a Manhattan Catholic church titled “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” is undergoing a name and description change, but has not been removed as was previously reported.
News of the exhibit at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan was originally reported by the New York Post on May 7, causing a firestorm online with many calling the artwork “blasphemous.”
A sign accompanying the display said the artwork, a three-painting collection, “maps the queer spiritual journey” while claiming that “there is no devil.”

🏳️⚧️ Fighting Globo ⚧️ Homo🏳️🌈 with John Waters ☘️
Hatred of Speech Laws: 2 Podcasts and a Treatise‘Essentially it is totalitarian . . . in its attempt to close down not just speech, but actually thought. It’s trying to turn off thought at source, so it doesn’t get to the root of the tongue.’
The Internment of ThoughtOnce again, Ireland finds itself functioning as the petri dish of a predatory experiment orchestrated by the motherWEFfers and their puppet masters. The Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill, 2022, now at the final stages prior to enactment, and without other than token parliamentary resistance, is the prototype for a form of thought-control previously associated chiefly with the great tyrannies of the twentieth century. In the past few weeks, largely thanks to the sterling ingenuity of activists like Keith Woods, the Ireland’s latest descent into shame and degradation has come to the notice of international figures, like Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson. But even yet, the message has failed to penetrate the mainstream of public discussion, in Ireland or elsewhere, so that the former free West continues to sleepwalk into the digital dungeon being prepared for it. Two years ago, I wrote of the then threatened legislation: Unless constitutionally overturned, the ‘hate speech laws’ . . . will turn Ireland into a two-tier society of adult-children who cannot be looked crooked at and will have no responsibility for anything, and adults who will require to tiptoe around the adult-children for fear of offending them, to be held responsible for every conceivable remotely slighting meaning of their words or actions. The Bill, therefore, if made into law, will achieve all the things the authorities currently claim are resulting from our ‘racist’ society. It will divide the ‘community’; it will give rise, in the absence of the capacity for verbal exchanges, to violent interaction; it will turn Ireland into a profoundly racist society. There are those who say that this is the intention behind it; that, as a Cultural Marxist instrument, it is designed to foment division and chaos, leading eventually to civil war. If so, it will in time be a resounding success. In recent weeks, as the Bill made its way — with minimal resistance — though the Irish parliament, I have been working in common with other Irish writers and commentators to alert and inform the outside world of what is happening in our country, and to warn them that it is soon to happen to their countries too. Below are links to two of the interviews I’ve conducted in the past week. One is with Patrick Henningsen of the alternative podcast platform, 21st Century Wire; the other was conducted on The Freeman Report with James Freeman, and broadcast on TNT Radio, Australia. We have provided individual links for each of the interviews, so that they can be shared separately as well as in the form of the complete post. Please share the links as widely as possible. Underneath them is a link to a comprehensive analysis of the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill, 2022, first published here on Substack last October, which includes also links to previous articles I’ve written on the same subject. Please also share however possible.

Minnesota State Legislature Wants to Make Pedophiles a Protected Class
Edit: they aren’t hurting anyone! 😂
[Hot Air] What if I told you that a bill in the Minnesota Legislature is changing the definition of “sexual orientation” to include pedophilia?
That’s crazy, right? Who thinks pedophiles should be a protected class?
The authors of this bill which is progressing through the Minnesota State Legislature, that’s who.
The bill amends the provisions in Minnesota law that created sexual orientation as a protected class, meaning that discrimination of any kind based upon sexual orientation is illegal in the state. It’s been around for a long time, unsurprisingly, and like all such provisions, it encourages mischief such as lawsuits, quotas, DEI initiatives, etc. They als
