Pope Leo XIVโ€™s doctors have confirmed that the tumor removed on October 13 was a lung adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized. Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said on Wednesday evening that a subsequent oncological assessment has confirmed that โ€œno further treatment is necessary.โ€

Does @archchicago have a priest union?
The archbishop of Detroit deciding to rearrange the lives of his priests and every Catholic in his diocese all at once due to boredom might be another case of @lukei4655 and the need for priests to be able to organize in a union.

A brief reminder: if women โ€œhear the call to priesthood,โ€ they are not hearing this call from God. God has definitely declared, through Pope St. John Paul II, that nobody can ever have the power to ordain women as true Christian priests.

I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase I will gradually resume my activities, always with Godโ€™s help and your prayers.

I was promoted this afternoon to a Knight Commander of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem (KCHS). It is the highest rank a member of the clergy can achieve, unless called the episcopacy (KC*HS). Im fine with KCHS. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Look, I am not a trad, and a Pope can supress whatever liturgical rite he wants to. But I really don't like Roche's disingenuous sophistry in this response, which he has deployed in a couple of interviews now. Its not true & he knows its not. advaticanum.com/article/exclโ€ฆ

This is the crux: Cardinal Roche insists on uniformity with the Ordinary Formโ€”but which expression of it? Francis emphasized the importance of pastors in helping the faithful to discern liturgical signs and symbols (Desiderio Desideravi, 47โ€“49). Yet bishops restrict legitimate options within the Novus Ordo, tying their pastorโ€™s hands! The dissonance is strikingโ€ฆ.
The DDW prefect seems out of touch with reality. Despite his insistence, the use of Latin, ad orientem, etc., is being prominently, actively *prohibited* in many diocese in the Ordinary Form. If a demand that trads embrace the NO is to be at all credible, they need to respond.

The problem is that our lived experience is quite the opposite. Priests of a certain age were in seminaries that had Traditional Latin Masses as part of their usual schedules. Parishes around the country housed both forms without issue. I even remember certain churchmen advocating for the TLM in every parish church! Now youโ€™re trying to tell me that it was merely an accommodation to the SSPX?
Exclusive interview: Cardinal Roche to traditionalists: โ€˜You are edging yourself away from the centre of Catholicismโ€™ In an exclusive interview with AdVaticanum, the Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship speaks about his dicastery, the controversy over an Islamic chant at a Belgian university Mass, the future of Traditionis Custodes, the validity of SSPX sacraments and whether there was an appetite among bishops for change from Summorum Pontificum โœ๏ธ@ThomasEdwardsVa advaticanum.com/article/exclโ€ฆ

Praying for you, @Pontifex!
At today's Angelus, the Pope said: โ€˜Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, doctors found a small, localised nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well localised. The doctors believe it is advisable to remove it, so I have decided to follow their advice and undergo surgery. The operation has already been scheduled for the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.โ€™
