📢 🇻🇦✝️ Vatican declares Society of St. Pius X in schism, excommunicates bishops
The Vatican responded aggressively Thursday to a traditionalist society that consecrated bishops without the pope's consent, declaring the Society of St. Pius X in schism, excommunicating its bishops and priests and warning its faithful they too face the harshest sanctions in the Catholic Church.
During a ritual-filled, five-hour Mass on Wednesday, attended by some 15,500 people and their children, the SSPX consecrated four new bishops in direct defiance of Pope Leo XIV, who had urged the SSPX to hold off for the sake of the church's unity.
The Vatican warned the faithful who go to the society's Masses to stop, declaring "those who adhere formally" to the society are considered themselves schismatic and excommunicated. It declared SSPX priests to be schismatic, and therefore excommunicated, and invalidated the sacraments of confession and marriage that they administer.

Multiple heat signatures were detected on the smuggling route into North Darfur on 1 Jul & again today, with another seen in the Border Triangle.
On closer inspection, the airstrikes appear to have been heavily concentrated in Sudan's Border Triangle (al-Muthalath) area. The area has been under RSF control for over a year, making it a key supply corridor from south-eastern Libya.
Today's NASA FIRMS data shows numerous large fires along the smuggling route from south-eastern Libya into Sudan's North Darfur.
The density of heat signatures points to a significant wave of strikes, unlike anything seen since November 2025.
NASA FIRMS imagery from 1 and 2 July 2026 highlights persistent heat signatures along the smuggling corridor from south-eastern Libya into Sudan's North Darfur region, with the 2 July imagery showing fires extending across a much larger stretch of the route.

Mar-a-Lago pulled in $77.5 million last year, triple its 2020 haul.
Doral, his golf resort near Miami, cleared $122 million.
The membership fee jumped from $100,000 to $1 million right before his reelection, and the line only got longer.
Nobody pays that for the golf.
They're paying for a seat near the president who dines on the patio most nights.
Trump: "You know why I'm profiting? Because the stock market's going up. Everybody's profiting."
Access to the president was always the real product.

The bill is due to be voted next week, the last week before the EU Parliament closes for the summer and it is expected that many MEPs will be absent and a majority for the bill will be possible.
This is the 3rd vote on the Chat Control legislation, the EU Parliament having rejected twice the proposals coming from the Commission and European Council which want to put an end to encrypted messaging, enforce age verification and read the private conversations of their citizens.
This latest attempt to pass the bill is said to originate from Berlin, with the governing CDU-SPD coalition being strongly in favor of ending anonymity online. Recall that the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has taken to court 300+ German citizens who mocked him on social media.
