China opens its doors to the world by kicking off its first in-person 'Summer Davos' since the pandemic



Impressions from the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2023 in Tianjin, People's Republic of China World Economic Forum/PASCAL BITZ

• The Chinese city of Tianjin is hosting the World Economic Forum's "Summer Davos."
  
• Chinese Premier Li Qiang opened the conference, acknowledging global challenges and warning about future public health crises.
  
• Saudi Arabia has sent a top delegation to the event, reflecting the importance of its oil trade relationship with China.
  

The wisdom of Archbishop Lefebvre, who clearly understood the traps being laid for the Traditionalists:

“It is imperative to know that today Rome is at the service of the revolution and therefore terribly anti-traditional. That is why I refused to put myself in their hands. They only wanted that, by recognizing my mistakes, I help them continue their revolution in the Church – no more, no less. All those who have left us are not aware of the situation and believe in the good will and the rectitude of thought of the bishops or cardinals in Rome. Nothing is further from the truth! ‘It is not possible for them to lead us into the revolution,’ say those who agree with the Pope and his bishops. Well, that is exactly what will happen.” (Interview for Controverses, 1989)

Vatican denies Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage permission to say Latin Mass in St. Peter’s
Catholics will not be able to attend the traditional Mass in the Vatican, which has marked the annual pilgrimage for over a decade.

Quote:since Cardinal (Mauro) Gambetti – certainly due to a superior order – is not authorizing the celebration of a Mass this year (i.e., the directive is only for this year, and even so, subject to a possible last-minute change), our celebration there will consist of:

1. The procession to the tomb of the Prince of the Apostles and the chanting of the Credo

2. The chanting of the office of Sext of the Holy Apostles Simon and Jude at the altar of the Chair

3. The veneration of the relics of the Holy Apostles Simon and Jude (their bodies are in the Vatican Basilica); the blessing; and a final chant.

Quote:The Traditional Latin Mass has been celebrated publicly for international groups of Traditional Catholics since 2007, thanks to the hospitality of Pope Benedict and Pope Francis, and the success of these events has emphasized Traditionalists’ strong attachment to the See of Rome and the Papacy. The Pilgrimage will still take place this year, and despite everything Traditional Catholics all over the world will continue to venerate the tombs of the Apostles and to pray for the Pope, as we continue to work for the good of the Church as a whole in everything that we do.”

Quote:Naturally, one might have been surprised that it continued as long as it did … and it is also possible that the decision could be reversed, by means of continued negotiations.

Frankly, the thought that the immemorial rite of the Church of Rome, offered by countless popes, cardinals, bishops, and pilgrim priests, would be forbidden at the heart of the Vatican is so absurd it can hardly be put into words.

Is there an itinerary for the August boy’s pilgrimage? Thank you.

Our 2006 study presented the obvious differences in the two Sister Lucys

The pictures of age progression & regression of Sister lucy 1, above, and Sister Lucy II, below, clearly show two different persons based on the known photos

The question becomes, What happened to Sister Lucy 1?

• The crime is replacing Sister Lucia Santos with an imposter Sister.
  
• The perpetrator of that crime is the Vatican.
  
• The primary victim of the crime is the real Sister Lucia do Santos of Fatima, who lost her identity and voice, significantly right before 1960, the year the Secret should have been released. She had been personally instructed by Our Lady that the Secret should be revealed in that year and there is no doubt the real Sister Lucy would have made every effort to do so, even thwarting Vatican commands.
  

Photos used of the pre-1967 Sister Lucia dos Santos by Prof. Bezerra for his study

• A tendency to height over width in the bone structure of the face, resulting in a more lengthy, oval and narrow overall format.
  
• A jaw with a tendency to recede, the bone structure taking a downward and backward vertical development.
  
• The forehead smooth and round, bringing the more perfect design of the eyebrows closer together toward the nasal bone.
  
• The teeth of the upper arch protrude forward, which in technical language is called a bimalillary protrusion.
  

The photos used to make the analysis of the Post 1967 Sister Lucy

• The arched forehead (or supraciliary arch), a feature acquired in childhood or that is congenital, makes the space between the eyebrows larger and reduces wrinkling in the forehead.
  
• The chin is more prominent, corpulent and voluminous.
  
• This jutting forward of the chin makes the lower lip larger (not thicker) with the tendency to protrude forward. It is this protrusion that makes the individual quite different from what is seen in Sister Lucy I, and, as Prof. Bezerra states: “This difference cannot be explained in any way, neither by the aging process, nor by the use of dental prosthesis (denture or dental surgery to restructure a mouth).
  
• Thus Sister Lucy II has a concave-shaped profile, with a more prominent forehead and chin.
  

Convex vs. concave profiles, the structure does not change with aging

Conclusion: The two facial structures cannot be the same person

Please pray for Bishop Strickland.

BREAKING: Bp. Strickland Gets ‘Visit’ From Rome News: US News

DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - According to Church Militant sources, the bishop of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, is currently undergoing an "apostolic visitation" from the Vatican's Dicastery for Bishops.  The immediate focus of the examination is unknown at this time, but the increasingly outspoken prelate, dubbed "America's bishop," has certainly irritated high-ranking members of the hierarchy by defending the Deposit of Faith and condemning the more heterodox opinions of various other prelates.  He was the only U.S. bishop to attend the June 16 protest against the Los Angeles Dodgers for the team's support of the blasphemous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. It created something of an embarrassment for L.A. Abp. Jose Gómez and his auxiliary bishops.  Strickland has stepped up his social media postings over the past year, going after increasingly confusing comments and holding accountable multiple members of the worldwide hierarchy.

While not confirmed, there is widespread speculation in certain circles that Rome is now striking back.   Archbishop Robert Francis Prevost, the recently appointed prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, ordered Strickland's visitation, and it is being carried out by two retired U.S. bishops acting on behalf of the dicastery's directive.   The two bishops, sources report, are the rather notorious Bp. Gerald Frederick Kicanus and auxiliary Bp. Dennis Joseph Sullivan. According to those on the ground, the pair was in Tyler for a full week questioning multiple employees of the diocese.   Church Militant reached out to Bp. Strickland for any comment but have received no reply.   According to sources in Rome, some Vatican and U.S. bishops don't like Strickland's repeated public defense of Church teachings and some in Rome are labeling his speech and social media postings as "imprudent."   It is unclear whether the visitation is a warning to the 63-year-old bishop or a prelude to his removal. What appears to be clear is that, whatever the official reason, it is most likely a pretext to silence Strickland's comments, according to Church Militant sources.  Church Militant broke this developing story, and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Quote:In our view it would not be proportionate to consider what might happen in a hypothetical situation such as if you were to be approached by a transgender patient for instance and we could not open an investigation on this basis.

Assessing all the rulings and legal documents, they concluded:

We also note the tribunals’ comments around whether your views might contravene GMC guidance, however, again there is no evidence to indicate that you have provided inappropriate advice or care to patients based on your views.

Quote:Everyone in the NHS should be able to say publicly without fear that a person cannot change sex, but instead we are being forced to accept a massive change to our concept of the medical reality of sex, with no scientific basis for that change.

No doctor, or researcher, or philosopher, can demonstrate or prove that a person can change sex. Without intellectual and moral integrity, medicine cannot function. I believe this conclusion from the GMC brings some much-needed sanity to these issues in the medical profession.

Fatima seer Sr. Lucia named Venerable, but controversy over identity remains
Pope Francis has recognized the 'heroic virtues' of Fatima seer Sr. Lucia, though controversy remains regarding her date of death.

Quote:the heroic virtues of the Servant of God Lúcia de Jesus e do Coração Immaculado (born: Lúcia dos Santos), a professed nun of the Order of Discalced Carmelites; born March 28, 1907, in Aljustrel, Portugal, and died Feb. 13, 2005, in Coimbra, Portugal.

Quote:Over the course of the years 2018-2022, Sister Lucy Truth commissioned a wide range of scientific professionals and medical specialists and has now compiled a sufficient number of expert reports to make the judgment that there were in fact two women, one the authentic Sister Lucy who was the Seer at Fatima in 1917, and the other an imposter who presented herself as the real Sister Lucy of Fatima at least from May 13, 1967 until her death on February 13, 2005.
