God’s Iron Rod & Mass Attendance
Caution in Videos
Salve Maria!
Thank you for your recent work. I especially enjoyed the latest "Egalitarianism" article. I wonder: How long of a series will it be? I hope it will be very long.
I write because part of my last comment was accidentally mistranscribed - just a grammar form. I had not been recommending Fr. Iannuzzi's videos; they had been recommended to me (by the Youtube algorithm).
Lately I am wary of recommending any priest's videos on Youtube without knowing a little bit about them, especially since the most in-vogue priest among traditional Catholics (Fr. Ripperger) has some little modernisms of his own which I have found out about over the years.
As it turned out, Fr. Iannuzzi had an ecumenical surprise for me... I can't understand how one learned in theology can accept and defend someone like Vassula Ryden. Maybe some part of these priests does not really believe in what they study? Of course, one can always be a Secret Forces plant.
In Maria,
Dylan Catlett

Advice on SSPX Mass Attendance
My name is C.B. and I love TIA. It’s content and information have challenged me to become a much more conscientious Catholic. I have asked you for advice and greatly appreciate it and benefited from it.
My question is this: Now that the SSPX consecrations have come and gone, is it still permissible to attend Mass at their chapels, or should I pursue other options?
Please keep up the excellent work you do!!
In Domino,
C.B.

TIA responds:
Hello C.B.,
Thank you for your encouragement and your confidence.
In times of confusion like the one we live in, each person must act according to his own conscience and answer for his decision before God.
So, our response, within our limits, is only to clarify your conscience and assist you in your decision. It is not to impose our position.
We believe that since the SSPX voluntarily entered into schism, we are avoiding contact with those who incurred automatic excommunication. Consequently, from that date on (July 1, 2026), we neither attend their Masses nor seek out their sacraments nor recommend our readers to do so.
Cordially,
TIA correspondence desk

Prayer Request from a SSPX Priest
My name is Fr. S.A.. I am a member of the Society of St. Pius X. But I am in my 11th year of Sabbatical.
Therefore, I was hoping your group could do a 54-day Rosary novena for my intentions. But any prayers and sacrifices would be greatly appreciated. I know Our Lady will reward you generously for this.
I thank you in advance, since I don't always get all my communication.
In Our Lady,
Fr. S.A.

TIA responds:
Rev. Fr. S.A.,
Due to an overload of spiritual and temporal commitments, we are not able to join you in an extra 54-day Rosary said specially for your intentions.
However, since most of our members pray the full Rosary every day, we are putting your request in the intentions of our Rosaries for the next 54 days that Our Lady may help you to discern what to do and how to act faithfully in the delicate situation in which you find yourself trapped.
We also are passing on your request to our readers so that they might pray and offer sacrifices for you.
Cordially,
TIA correspondence desk

Defending Children from Bishops
Here is a good reaction from German parents demanding the Bishops to withdraw “sexual education” from the curriculum of Catholic schools.
Actually, under the title of “sexual education,” the teachers are putting an enormous quantity of immorality and perversion against nature into the minds of children.
I am glad these Germans are doing this. I wish American parents would imitate the example, not only in Catholic schools but in all the schools throughout our country.
In Jesus through Mary,
R.K.
rescind pro-LGBT ‘sexual education’
Andreas Wailzer
The Archdiocese of Hamburg last year implemented ‘sexual education’ curriculum for all Catholic schools that promotes homosexuality and transgenderism, and now parents are fighting back.
July 14, 2026 – Catholic parents in the Archdiocese of Hamburg are calling on the archbishop to reverse pro-LGBT “sexual education” curriculum for Catholic schools.
The “Parents’ Network for Child Protection and Prevention” reached out to the then-apostolic nuncio to Germany, Archbishop Nikola Eterović, and the chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference (DBK), Bishop Heiner Wilmer, regarding the dispute over the heterodox framework for “sex education” in Catholic schools in the archdiocese.
The parents say that the framework – which was implemented in June 2025 by Vicar General Father Sascha-Philipp Geißler, SAC, under pro-LGBT Archbishop Stefan Heße – sexualizes children.
Since an initial informational meeting attended by 80 participants, the initiative has grown to over 200 members – parents, educators, doctors, and lawyers, the network reports.
In an interview with CNA Deutsch, the Parents’ Network spokesperson Varinia Arauco Vera said that “the Archdiocese and the Bishops’ Conference have not taken any verifiable action to date.”
“Our inquiries regarding the objectives, content, and implementation of the framework concept are no longer being addressed, not even by school administrators,” she said.
“In the view of lawyers specializing in administrative law, the schools are thereby violating Section 20(3) of the Diocesan School Law for the Archdiocese of Hamburg—that is, their own school law. It states: Parents must be informed in advance (i.e., before the implementation of the framework concept for sex education) about the objectives, content, and format of sex education at the school, as well as about the teaching and learning materials used in this context.”
“The openness to dialogue claimed by the Archdiocese to the outside world serves only as a façade,” Vera stated.

Ave Maria Purissima!
I read with great interest the article about Venezuela and the very severe earthquake. I am not familiar with the politics. I prefer to leave that to the men who generally have a better understanding of such issues. However, Venezuela had become a communist country and this punishment was well deserved.
The issue then becomes why the innocent must suffer along with the guilty. This is not an injustice because God is incapable of being unjust. In truth, none of us is truly innocent. We are all sinners and God's justice demands that an evil such as Communism must at some stage receive punishment.
It seems the patience of Almighty God ran out with his errant Venezuelan children and like a loving Father he used the rod of discipline. I hope the people of Venezuela now realise their error and will turn to prayer and penance and ask forgiveness of their just Father in Heaven.
God bless you all at TIA.
Yours sincerely
C.P., Ireland
