That’s YOU on the funeral bier – Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost Our Lord’s raising of the widow’s son at Naim has personal significance for every one of us.

What are scruples? Fr William Doyle SJ's guide for the scrupulous 'Full of scorpions is my mind', said Macbeth – and this is a good a description of scruples as any. Fr William Doyle sets out the problem: https://www.wmreview.org/p/doyle-scruples-i

Can the Pope teach ex cathedra in a letter to a single bishop? Fr Palmieri explains The answer is YES – if it is clear that he is exercising his authority as the Supreme Pastor, and defining a doctrine to be held by all: https://www.wmreview.org/p/can-the-pope-teach-ex-cathedra-in

When we have the book, we will be able to confirm whether he mentions Mgr GuĂ©rard, and how far his exposition conforms to the Dominican's. You can read more about the Thesis here: https://www.wmreview.org/p/the-cassiciacum-thesis-one-explanation And you can read more about Mgr GuĂ©rard des Lauriers – a modern saint, probably – here: https://www.wmreview.org/p/in-memoriam-guerard-des-lauriers

Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂČ has announced a video on the concept of "capital schism". This is intriguing. The term is from Mgr GuĂ©rard des Lauriers, today most known for the Cassiciacum Thesis. This Thesis holds that Leo et al. have been Popes "materialiter" (proximately disposed to become Pope) but not "formaliter" (viz., they have not been Popes, nor have they had the jurisdiction or authority of the Papacy), principally due to a defect of intention in accepting the election. In addition ViganĂČ has released a 38-page book/essay under the same title. In referring to "capital schism", Archbishop ViganĂČ is referring to the Thesis and Mgr GuĂ©rard des Lauriers. That is clear, even though the name of the late Dominican bishop does not appear on the book description. ViganĂČ has previously signalled alignment with aspects of the Thesis, but never fully expressed his adherence. He has sometimes indicated that he has only Francis (and now Leo XIV) in view.

What Fr Palmieri ACTUALLY says about resisting the Pope Having seen a wide range of other texts from Fr Domenico Palmieri SJ, can he credibly be cited as an authority for the ‘recognise and resist’ movement? https://www.wmreview.org/p/palmieri-xxix-q

"Cringing submission or servility in matters where one should think and judge for oneself is only a simulacrum of obedience." Fr John A. McHugh OP and Fr Charles J. Callan OP, Moral Theology, n. 2365(a). (H/T @AmericanReform for the picture of Fr Charles Callan)

The Healing of the Ten Lepers Only one the the ten returned to thank Our Lord – and he was a ‘foreigner’, not of the Chosen People. What are we to learn from this? https://www.fathercoleridge.org/p/the-healing-of-the-ten-lepers-thirteenth

Pretty amazing response to this appeal for the family of the late Mr Martin Martinez. In 24 hours, Catholics have managed to raise over ÂŁ8,000 (nearly $11,000). If you haven't contributed yet, please consider doing so. Mr M leaves behind seven children. https://www.gofundme.com/f/martin-martinez-cdgf7

‘The Elephant in the Room’: The Indefectibility of the Apostolic See Indefectibility has become a popular topic – and it’s more important than ever to understand the doctrine correctly: https://www.wmreview.org/p/the-elephant-in-the-room-the-indefectibility

In your charity, please spare a prayer for the repose of the soul of Mr Martin Martinez, who died today. He was a member of a well-known family of traditional Catholics here in England, and he himself leaves behind his wife and 7 children. Friends of his family are organising a fundraiser to help with funeral costs. Please do contribute if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/martin-martinez-cdgf7 (Today is also the anniversary of S.D. Wright's grandmother, Mrs Beryl Wright. She had a holy death. Please say a prayer for her too. RIP.)

Eastern Orthodoxy? The problem was always Constantinople, not the Papacy (Orestes Brownson) Completely contrary to the 'Orthodox' narrative, the problems lie in Constantinopolitan ambitions and pretensions, not the Papacy: https://www.wmreview.org/p/brownson-orthodoxy-2-7

‘Undoubtedly Magisterial Acts’? Pope Honorius and Roberto de Mattei Were Pope Honorius’ controversial letters to Sergius acts of the papal magisterium – or something else?

Suárez’s ‘resistance quotes’ don’t help the ‘recognise and resist movement’ Continuing our deep-dive into the sources of the ‘recognise and resist theology’... ... We've followed Fr Palmieri’s reference to Suárez, and found that his comments don’t help: https://www.wmreview.org/p/suarezs-resistance-quotes-dont-help
