Lux Mundi
On February 2, Holy Church celebrated the feast of the Purification of Our Lady. On this feast, she reminds us that Our Lord is the light of the world: “ Ego sum lux mundi ” (Jn 12:8). The prayers of the blessing of the candles repeat this truth in various ways. The procession of candles teaches us that it is Our Lord who enlightens all men who come into this world. He who does not follow Him walks in darkness. This is why the modern world walks in darkness and, through supre

Episcopal Consecrations in the Society
The communiqué from Menzingen dated February 2, the feast of the Purification of Our Lady, announces new episcopal consecrations for July 1. After contact with Rome and after having received a letter that “in no way responds to our requests,” Fr . Pagliarani, Superior General of the SSPX, supported by the unanimous opinion of his Council, judges that “the objective state of grave necessity” in which souls find themselves requires such a decision. We can only rejoice at this n

The true opposition
by H.E. Bishop Thomas Aquinas O.S.B. The true opposition is not between the right and the left, nor between the West and the East, nor between China and the United States. The true opposition is between Catholicism and the enemies of Catholicism; between the Catholic Church and the enemies of the Catholic Church, whoever they may be. All other oppositions, in the face of this true opposition, are superficial. Freemasonry has members both on the left and on the right. In the

Die Finsternis hat Ihn nicht erfasst
+ PAX Die Finsternis hat Ihn nicht erfasst 24 Dezember 2025 Von Anfang an gab es Widerstand gegen die göttliche Wahrheit, zuerst unter den Engeln und dann unter den Menschen.Für die Engel gibt es keine Umkehr. Ihre Natur ist zu vollkommen, als dass sie umkehren könnten. Die Menschen sind jedoch nicht so. Sie haben sich durch Ungehorsam gegen Gott aufgelehnt, von Luzifer angestiftet, und dennoch ist es möglich umzukehren, oder besser gesagt, es ist möglich, Gegenstand

Darkness did not receive Him
+ PAX Darkness did not receive Him December 24, 2025 From the beginning, opposition to divine truth manifested itself, first among the angels, and then among men. For the angels, there is no possibility of repentance or reversal. Their nature is too perfect for them to be able to turn back. Men, however, are not so constituted. They rebelled against God through disobedience, having b

A holy and happy Christmas
O blessed Grotto, which had the good fortune to see the divine Word born within you! O blessed manger, which had the honor of receiving within you the Lord of heaven!

Oh, with what joy and satisf

Sermon for the XXIII Sunday after Pentecost - 2025
by H.E. Bp. Thomas Aquinas O.S.B. “Filia mea modo defuncta est…” “… non est enim mórtua puella, sed dormit…” “Et deridebant eum.” Holy Church seems dead at this moment. She has been invaded by the modernists who have taken the key positions. The predictions and plans of Freemasonry seem to have triumphed. Freemasonry wanted a pope who would hold the ideas of Freemasonry. It did not want a Masonic pope—this could be dangerous for them—but a pope with their ideas would be ide
