Pilgrimage & Four More Homo Cardinals
Soul’s Pain after Cremation
I would like to let you know that Saint Teresa of Avila reveals: The Pain the Soul Suffers after Cremation.
It is quite an original topic, since I had never heard of it in sermons or even in Catechism classes. Nonetheless, the argument makes sense to me.
I hope this is sound doctrine and not fake news made by AI or some Protestant to confuse Catholics.
You may watch the full exposition here.

LGTB Welcomed at Jubilee
How ironic...
Regarding your post on the SSPX Holy Door pilgrimage.
AA pope that allows SSPX and LGBTQ+ access to the Holy Door.. (See below)
Neither got a private audience.
The important thing for both is that they are part of the “ecumenical zoo,” as you so aptly put it.

Pilgrims march to pass the holy door of St Peter's basilica during the LGTB jubilee, at the Vatican
Some 1,400 Catholics donning rainbow attire and carrying crosses are taking part in the first officially recognized LGBTQ+ pilgrimage to Rome as part of the Vatican's Jubilee Year.
Coming from 20 countries, pilgrims are attending prayer vigils, masses and other activities this weekend - though they will not have a private audience with Pope Leo XIV.
His predecessor Pope Francis, who died in April, did not change the Roman Catholic Church doctrine regarding the LGBTQ+ community - but made overtures in a decree in 2023.
These included allowing priests to bless same-sex couples - a move that angered conservatives Catholics, notably in Africa.
On Saturday, members from the LGBTQ+ community entered St Peter's Basilica though its Holy Door - a procession that symbolises reconciliation.

Whistleblower: Four More Homo Cardinals
Salve Maria!
I saw this piece of news. I think it is worth reporting. Fr. Michael Briese, a priest from the Archdiocese of Washington became a whistleblower. He is making explosive accusations against Cardinals, including Cardinal McElroy. The allegations are that senior clergy covered up homo abuse in seminaries.
[This matter appeared on The Catholic Herald here, but was deleted...]
McElroy is now threatening Fr. Briese with laicization as a result of his accusations.
I found Fr. Briese's SubStack where he gives details of the allegations, including the one that accuses Card. Gregory of having had a homosexual relationship with Card. Bernardin (!!) for fifty years…
Excerpts from one of his posts:
““Both Cardinals Gregory and McElroy fear you, the public learning about their own decades long involvements in numerous acts of homosexual relations. Gregory had years of sexual relations with his boss, the Archdiocese of Chicago Archbishop, the late Cardinal Bernadin.e. Bernadin must have truly loved then Fr Gregory… and so he installed Fr Gregory to be an Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago. Their homosexual activities persisted. With Gregory, I ask, what happened to his public promise at Ordination to faithfully live out a celibate priesthood? Were his fingers crossed?
“To err is human. To have fifty years of homosexual relations with various men is a chosen lifestyle and lufelng acts of priestly infidelity. This is Gregory’s mostly unknown but nonetheless more thorough and true history.
“The current Archbishop of Washington, Cardinal McElroy, much like Gregory is a practicing homosexual infidel. He also is a liar and manipulator. McElroy in his initial years as a priest, served as the Secretary to the late homosexual Archbishop of San Francisco, Archbishop Quinn. McElroy had ongoing homosexual relations with Quinn. Both Gregory and now McElroy. Together as lifelong ordained homosexual infidels, they have sought to remove me from priesthood. Neither of these two morally repugnant men ought to be Catholic priests, little alone bishops. They are much like the late and removed Cardinal Teddy McCarrick.”
In this post he gives more details of sexual predation at seminaries:
In Jesu et Maria,

Ave Maria!
On top of your personal account to me which I held lovingly in my heart and soul, late last night as I returned to shut down the laptop and pull out the cord that connects me to WiFi, what did I see but TIA's Pilgrimage photos of Carmel and Our Lady of Bethlehem had arrived.
Truly, the new camera is extraordinary! I enlarged the images on my screen, I poured over every detail, marveling at the artistry, the colors, rejoicing at every single photo and every word written which conveyed so intimately the splendor and graces of the pilgrim's visit. I can't thank you enough. The timing of it, coming as it did in the quiet and dark of night, allowed me a most peaceful transition before bed.
Not only peace but enormous refreshment -- so much so -- that instead of going to bed, I opened my copy of your book on Our Lady of Bethlehem and read again quite a few Chapters before laying it aside to recite my St. Philomena Chaplet and Holy Face Chapel.
How grateful I am, too, to have a beautiful statue of Fr. Serra to honor this Saint's sacrifices (just think of his ulcerous leg!), of his trust in Saint Joseph and the sacrifices of all on the expeditions -- oh, this is true Catholicism in action -- which will one day rise again to defeat the abomination of the Conciliar counterfeit church.
So anyhow, I had to say thanks this morning, before getting on with my day. Knowing you is a tremendous blessing, surely arranged by Our Lady Herself, who is Our Mother.
Take care,
God bless you, In Maria,
E.Z.
