A much more balanced argument that any @USCCB "special message" would ever achieve.
The Catholic Accountability Project is about exposing the lies, ending the confusion, and shining a light on every Catholic leader or institution in public life https://t.co/7n1B3h6QSp
Another fact most people don't know about the SSPX: It was formed as a pious association of the lay faithful in 1970 on an ad experimentum (temporary) basis. It was not and has never been a priestly society under canon law.
And it was suppressed in 1975.
That means in 1975, this pious association of the faithful ceased to legally exist. They became non-existent under canon law.
Abp. Lefebvre ignored the canonical suppression and acted as if it remained a legitimate society in the Church, when it had actually ceased to exist.
He also ignored his suspension in 1976, continuing to ordain priests in defiance of the decree for 12 years.
It was not until 1988, when he participated in illicit consecrations, that he was excommunicated.
Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392
A major city in Colombia cooled itself by 2°C simply by planting millions of trees and shrubs—demonstrating that nature provides one of the most effective cooling solutions available.
Medellín has turned its urban environment into a cooler, more livable space through its innovative Green Corridors project, launched in 2016. The initiative planted nearly 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants along busy roads and waterways, replacing heat-trapping concrete with lush vegetation. This created an extensive network of interconnected green zones that function like natural cooling systems, reducing the city's average temperature by more than 2°C.
Beyond cooling, the project delivers wide-ranging benefits: it purifies the air, boosts urban biodiversity by welcoming back wildlife, and fosters a healthier atmosphere through shade and evapotranspiration—the natural process by which plants release water vapor. Honored with the 2019 Ashden Award for Cooling by Nature, Medellín's approach has become an inspiring model for cities worldwide seeking sustainable ways to adapt to rising temperatures and combat climate change.
