The following is an excerpt from an article by The Catholic Trumpet [February 5, 2026]:
This Is Coordination, Not Resistance
"It is not we who are in schism but the Conciliar Church." (+Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Sermon preached at Lille, August 29, 1976)
This press release confirms coordination, not resistance.
Meeting confirmed with Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández author of the book "Heal me with your mouth, The art of Kissing."
This Communiqué Confirms Coordination, Not Resistance
The February 5, 2026 communiqué confirms one thing beyond dispute: these episcopal consecrations are being negotiated, not resisted.
The moment consecrations were announced, Rome intervened.
The Superior General immediately accepted a meeting in Rome.
The faithful were instructed to pray for a “good outcome.”
That sequence alone is decisive.
Nothing has changed since 2012.
The rest of the article here.
NB by The Catacombs: A quick reminder of the scandal-plagued Cardinal Fernandez that the SSPX will be negiotating with regarding these consecrations (a brief AI summary):
Quote:Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández is an Argentinian prelate and theologian who has served as the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith since July 1, 2023, appointed by Pope Francis. He is widely recognized as a key theological advisor to Pope Francis and is considered the principal author of the apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (2016), which addressed family life and pastoral care for the divorced and remarried.
Fernández has authored numerous books, many of which are short, pastoral works published by Latin American publishers. His writings often focus on spirituality, human relationships, and biblical themes. Notable titles include:
- Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing (1995) — a controversial work that sparked significant debate due to its erotic and sensual content.
- The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality (1998) — a book that was withdrawn shortly after publication and is now considered highly problematic by critics and abuse survivors.
- Aparecida: Guía para leer el documento y crónica diaria (2007), which played a key role in shaping the Aparecida Document, a foundational text for Latin American bishops.
In recent years, new revelations have emerged about additional texts with explicit sexual content published between 2002 and 2009, prompting further scrutiny. These include passages [...] linking physical experiences to spiritual states. Fernández has stated he would not write such books today, citing concerns over misinterpretation, and claimed he destroyed remaining copies.
Despite controversy, he remains a central figure in shaping the Church’s doctrinal direction under Pope Francis, with a reputation for progressive theology and a focus on integrating contemplation and action in Christian life.

City of Zurich will mandate assisted suicide option in every care home, including religious ones
Zurich officials support a policy requiring every hospital, care home to provide assisted suicide,
overturning protections that allowed religious homes to refuse participation.

(Euthanasia Prevention Coalition) — Swissinfo.ch reported on February 2 that the Swiss Canton of Zurich is in favour of requiring assisted suicide in all hospitals and retirement homes but not in psychiatric facilities and prisons.
The Swissinfo article reported:
Quote:The cantonal government is generally in favour of assisted suicide in all retirement and nursing homes. It has drawn up a corresponding counter-proposal to the initiative “Self-determination at the end of life in retirement and nursing homes too.” This would mean that all homes would have to tolerate assisted suicide in the future.
READ: Disabled Canadian man chooses euthanasia due to loneliness, ‘psychosocial suffering’
This proposal, which requires every care home to provide assisted suicide, does not extend to psychiatric facilities and prisons. The article further explains:
Quote:The popular initiative challenges a cantonal decision in October 2022 that not all care homes should allow assisted suicide on their premises, but only those with a service mandate from a municipality. This considers religious care homes, that often reject euthanasia.
This news article is essentially stating that the new policy ordering all retirement homes to provide assisted suicide only differs from the previous policy by the fact that it requires religious care homes to also permit assisted suicide.
What begins as an option for people who are seeking assisted suicide becomes an obligation to provide assisted suicide, even for people and groups who oppose killing.

How Our Lady Gave ‘Good Success’ to the Obregon Brothers
José Muñoz Maldonado, Count of Fabraquer
Adapted from José Muñoz Maldonado, Historia, tradiciones y leyendas de las imágenes de la Virgen aparecidas en España, 1, Madrid,
Impr. y Litografía de D. Juan José Martínez, 1861, pp. 511-522
TIA | January 30, 2026
Note: A reader sent us a link to this Book of Histories of various statues of Spain. It tells of the conversion of the founder of the Minim Order, Ven. Bernadino de Obregón, and describes how the statue was found and how Pope Paul V gave it the name Our Lady of Good Success.
This account was written by the Count of Fabraquer in 1861. We offer it here to our readers and point out the use of the term ”good success” in the context not of the "event" of the Purification, as some are wrongly claiming today, but of a good outcome, or success, for the Obregon Order.
On a winter morning in the year 1567, a gallant young man of age 27, whose chest already bore the red emblem of the Apostle Saint James, was walking down Postas Street in the town of Madrid, where King Philip II's Court was then located. A poor young man was cleaning the mud from the street and unfortunately splashed some on the elegant cabellero. In the first flash of anger that overcame him, the knight struck a hard blow to the face of the street cleaner.
![[Image: A027_Sold.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/OLGS/OLGSimages/A027_Sold.jpg)
A knight who did great feats in Spain’s wars with Flanders under King Philip II
Without showing any emotion, the young man who had received the insult knelt before his aggressor and said: "I thank you, Sir Knight, for the favor and honor you have bestowed upon me, and never in my life have I felt more honored than now."
The knight, a moment before so proud and haughty, was astonished to witness such humility. He was no longer the same man and, hiding his face in his hands, yielded to the sudden change he felt within himself. He fell to his knees and begged forgiveness from that poor man whose revenge had been humility.
Upon rising to his feet, that brilliant proud knight showed by his pale face and uncertain gait that happiness had fled from him, that the butterfly had lost its wings.
That young man was Don Bernardino de Obregón, who was born in Las Huelgas de Burgos in 1540 into a noble family. He had distinguished himself by his brilliant exploits in the wars of Flanders, and had been decorated by the Order of Santiago. Now, he had come to Court where his merit and comely appearance had won him great favor.
The past, present and future smiled on this youth. The son of rich parents, brave and of noble bearing, there was no whim that crossed his mind that he could not satisfy. In the glittering salons of the Court and among the grandes, where egoism has its throne, everyone rushed to celebrate him and greet him with flattering smiles.
![[Image: A027_Obr.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/OLGS/OLGSimages/A027_Obr.jpg)
Obregón became the founder of an Order that nursed the sick & poor he had once despised
He was praised for his courage and talent; mothers coveted him for their daughters. Thus, vanity had crept into his heart, and in his pride he considered himself almost a demigod to whom antiquity would have erected altars. Suddenly, his arrogance found itself face to face with the deepest humility. God touched his heart at that moment, and he saw how vain was his grandeur and how unjust his refusal to endure even the slightest offense.
Returning home, he bemoaned his vanity and contemplated the humility of the Redeemer of mankind stretched out on the vile instrument of his torture. He compared the small offense he had suffered and aroused his anger to those that Jesus Christ had suffered for him before reaching the summit of Calvary. It was a grain of sand next to an immense mountain, a drop of water compared to the unfathomable sea!
Obregón had received a religious education from his parents: The divine faith and the celestial hope that they had instilled in his heart had vanished after succumbing in the battle of the most shameful passions, but the pious memories of childhood remained. The example of the humility of the poor man he had offended was enough for those memories to suddenly rise up powerfully, tearing away the dark veil that concealed from his sight the radiant truth and the new mission to which God destined him on this earth.
That man who had rejected the poor and wretched now resolved to dedicate his life to their service, detesting and cursing pride and vanity as the prophets of old cursed the sinful cities. He left his position in the military and gave away his riches, becoming poor to join the ranks of the poor. Humbling his pride, he dedicated himself to serving the sick in the Royal Hospital, submitting his will to that of its administrator, exchanging his finery in which he had once taken such pride for a coarse black sackcloth.

An old biography: The Life & Virtues of the Servant of God Bernadino de Obregón
The sudden change in young Obregón astonished the Court. His zeal found imitators, and the following year, with the permission of the Papal Nuncio, the Archbishop of Toledo and King Philip II, he founded a Congregation, calling his brothers the Franciscan Minims, because of the humility they were to practice in the service of the poor. But the people themselves gave the Order the name of their founder, calling them the Obregones, or Obregon Brothers, a name they have conserved for three centuries. They vowed to God chastity, poverty, obedience and hospitality.
The number of those who came to enlist in the new army of charity grew day by day. Bernardino de Obregón's zeal knew no bounds: He founded convalescent homes, schools for foundlings, several hospitals, including one in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, whose Kingdom King Philip II had added to the Crown of Spain. It was Bernardino de Obregón who the Monarch called to his deathbed to assist him in his last moments in El Escorial, where the King died in 1598.
Bernardino de Obregón, so haughty and proud in his youth, suffered with the greatest patience and humility many hard persecutions, from all of which the hand of the Lord delivered him. To the great sorrow of the Court, so edified by his virtues, he died at age 59 on August 6, 1599, and his body was buried in the General Hospital in Spain, which he had founded.
His Order approved by the Pope
Brother Gabriel de Fontanet, who had succeeded him in the governance of the Congregation, accompanied by Brother Guillermo Rigosa, decided to go to Rome to obtain for their Institute the sanction of the Apostolic See, then occupied by Pope Paul V.
They traveled on foot to Valencia, where their Congregation had a hospital and was highly regarded by the holy Patriarch of that Diocese, Archbishop Don Juan de Rivera. They continued on their journey and, after leaving Traiguera, a town in the jurisdiction of Tortosa along the borders of Catalonia, they lost their way, and a terrible storm surprised them during the night.
![[Image: A027_Trai.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/OLGS/OLGSimages/A027_Trai.jpg)
The mountains in the distance seen from the medieval town of Traiguera
The rain fell in torrents, the winds raged, terrifying thunder resounded in the hills, and the two pious pilgrims, thinking themselves soon to be victims of the fury of the elements, fervently commended themselves to God. Suddenly, from the light of the flashes, they discovered in that engulfing darkness some overhanging rocks and ran to take refuge there.
From that weak shelter, they then saw a glowing site on a distant hill that at first they thought was but a reflection from the continuous lightning. However, this light remained even after the storm had abated. The climb to the top of that mountain was difficult and arduous, but by taking off their shoes and helping each other, they managed to reach the summit.
In a hollow place inside the rock, they found an exquisitely carved small shrine or chapel, and, as if embedded in the rock face, an image of the Virgin Mary, about half a yard tall. The two Obregón Brothers were astonished, and the words of the Prophet Isaiah came to their minds: Invenerunt qui non quaesierunt me. “I was found by those who did not seek me." (Chap. 65)
![[Image: A027_Mir.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/OLGS/OLGSimages/A027_Mir.jpg)
Miracles recorded of cures by the miraculous Image of Our Lady of Good Success discovered by the Obregon Brothers
They humbly venerated the image, then contemplated it carefully and saw that it was made of cypress wood. The Virgin held her Divine Son in her left arm and a scepter in her right hand; a beautiful and unusually shaped crown was on her head, she wore and ancient dress of fine fabric and design, with another reserved beside it. On the rock was a lit lamp whose light illuminated the darkest shadows of the cave.
They decided to take the holy image and the extra gown beside it, which is still piously preserved today, and to make her the intercessor for the petition they were bringing to Rome. Thinking that perhaps the holy statue might belong to one of the nearby towns that placed it in that shrine for veneration and not wanting to steal what belonged to another, they remained in the area for several days, cautiously inquiring amongst the oldest inhabitants of the surrounding towns whether anyone knew of the existence of an image of the Virgin, but always keeping their fortunate discovery a secret.
Finally, they surmised that the image found so miraculously was one of those hidden by Spanish Catholics during the sad days of the Arab domination. This belief was confirmed by the ancient dress they had found next to the image, for the Catholics would also hide the ornaments with the statues, as noted by that genius of poets, the great Lope de Vega:
They enclose the images,
and hide them in the countryside,
With their sacred ornaments,
While from their faces,
They are banished with tears.
(Las imágenes encierran,Y en las campañas las cierran Con los ornamentos sacros, Mientras de sus simulacros Con lágrimas se destierran)
The Statue receives Her name
The two Brothers made a wicker basket and lined it with buckram. In it they placed the holy image and took turns carrying on their backs, never leaving it for even a moment until they arrived in Rome.
They presented themselves to kiss the foot of Pope Paul V, who, seeing the so carefully tended basket, curiously asked them what was in it. They told the Pope about their miraculous discovery of the Holy Virgin, to whom they had entrusted the good success of their intentions, which they humbly exposed to him.
![[Image: A027_Bros.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/OLGS/OLGSimages/A027_Bros.jpg)
Pope Paul V puts the purple cross on the statue & names her Our Lady of Good Success
They took the holy image out of the basket, and Paul V, admiring her beauty, venerated her and, taking a gold cross with purple enamel from around his neck, placed it on the statue. Then he told them that they should take her as the special patroness of their Institute and Congregation, and gave to her the name of Our Lady of Good Success because of the fortunate outcome of their endeavors.
He granted many indulgences to this Virgin, and in memory of the gilded enamel cross he had placed upon her, he authorized the Brothers of the Congregation he had just approved to wear a purple cloth cross on their black habits.
Joyful and content, Brothers Fontanet and Rigosa returned to Spain, heading once again to Valencia, because the Pope had entrusted to Archbishop and Patriarch Don Juan de Rivera the organization of the Congregation, which was now established as a Religious Order. Along the way they revisited the place where, on a night of a terrible storm, they had found the miraculous image that had brought such success to their mission.
The plague was then ravaging the city of Valencia, and the Brothers found a vast field in which to exercise their zeal and ardent charity. Of the thirteen Minim or Obregon Brothers who were there, nine had succumbed to the contagion while caring for the poor and infirm.
![[Image: A027_Ind.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/OLGS/OLGSimages/A027_Ind.jpg)
Indulgence given in 1760 for reciting a Hail Mary before the statue & making Acts of Faith, Hope & Charity
Archbishop Don Juan Rivera delayed as long as he could the implementation of the Pope's bull and the presentation of the purple cross to Brothers Fontanet and Rigosa, because he wanted to keep them near him as long as possible. He tried to persuade them to settle in Valencia so that the center and head of the new Hospital Order would reside there.
But Brother Gabriel de Fontanet did not consider this advisable and left with his companion for Madrid. There they placed their image of Our Lady of Good Success on an altar in one of the rooms of the General Hospital, and they wore their habits and purple crosses for the first time on Corpus Christi Day in the year 1610.
Our Lady of Good Success remained in the General Hospital of Madrid until the Obregon Brothers in charge of the Royal Hospital of the Court transferred her to its infirmary. This is the hospital which was located in Puerta del Sol and sadly was demolished to make way for the expansion of the Plaza.
The body of Ven. Bernadino de Obregón was first interred in a vault of the General Hospital when it was located at San Jerónimo Street, which was originally a shrine founded by the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella for the relief and treatment of sick soldiers. Emperor Charles V expanded it in 1529 and established it as the Royal Hospital of Corle for the treatment of soldiers and employees of his royal household.
King Philip II, so knowledgeable and skilled in architecture, rebuilt the Hospital on the Puerta del Sol in Madrid in 1587. He personally designed the plan of the small church, which was cruciform and of regular shape, will pillars and a dome in the center proportionate to the building. Philip III dedicated this church on July 6, 1611, with the attendance of Queen Margaret and the entire Court.
At that time, the statue of Our Lady of Good Success, which had previously been in the infirmary, was placed in the a chapel of the church.

Vandals desecrate Catholic school in California, destroy statue of Our Lady, throw tabernacle to floor
Attackers devastated Holy Innocents Catholic School in Long Beach, destroying a large statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, attempting to break into the tabernacle, and destroying objects made by religious sisters.

LONG BEACH, California (LifeSiteNews) — Staff arriving at Holy Innocents Catholic School in Long Beach, California, on Monday morning found the school assembly hall, chapel, and classrooms had been ransacked, with smashed statues, ruined images of Our Lady, and the tabernacle knocked to the floor.
Vandals had evidently attempted to break into the tabernacle, but were unsuccessful. “The tabernacle was not breached and the hosts, though damaged, remained inside,” noted a statement by the school.
The school was forced to cancel Mass, though the school was able to open for the day.
One statue of Our Lady, which has been in the school since 1958, was worth at least $40,000, Tony Tripp, director of advancement for the school, told the Long Beach Post. Another was valued around $10,000. “Many of the religious articles couldn’t be priced, as they had been handmade by the sisters,” Tripp said, according to the Post.
After inspecting the damage, Bishop Mark Trudeau said that it is the worst case of vandalism that he’s ever seen in the region.
“The sound equipment and that sort of thing was ripped out of the wall,” Tripp told local news outlet, KTLA. “Any closet that was there, everything was pulled out, so we thought, ‘Oh, OK. This is to be expected,’ but what was not to be expected is the sanctuary part. We have a large statue of Mary that was pushed down and destroyed. We had the tabernacle, the gold tabernacle where our Lord is kept here, they tried to break that open to get the host out of there.”
“I want to know why you could do this to kids,” said the school’s principal, Cyril Cruz. “What kind of heart do you have to do this?”
“This is horrific, there are some demonic forces at work in our country,” noted Jeremy Wayne Tate, the leading promoter of classical education in the United States.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division immediately promised to investigate what she described as “an awful crime.”
Activist Robby Starbuck, a Protestant, and Catholic convert and entertainer Rob Schneider stepped forward and offered to cover the cost of replacing Bibles destroyed in the attack on the school.
The desecration of the Catholic school comes just two weeks after an angry mob stormed a Baptist church in St. Paul, Minnesota, while a Sunday worship service was in progress.
A GoFundMe account created to help the school recover from the vandalism has quickly garnered nearly $90,000 in donations.

Archbishop Viganò gives ‘full support’ to SSPX consecrations, Bishop Eleganti calls them ‘schismatic’
Archbishop Viganò declared new SSPX consecrations necessary for the ‘good of souls’ while Bishop Eleganti believes the ‘salvation of souls’ is not an excuse.
![[Image: Archbishop-Vigano-e1751367598608.jpeg]](https://www.lifesitenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Archbishop-Vigano-e1751367598608.jpeg)

Feb 3, 2026
(LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted, not all hyperlinks from original included below; emphasis mine]) — Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò expressed his “full support” for the upcoming Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) episcopal consecrations, as Bishop Marian Eleganti has condemned the plans as a “schismatic act.”
“When the Hierarchy becomes complicit in the demolition of the Church, the only solution is to appeal to the state of necessity and guarantee that Apostolic Succession continues for the good of souls,” Viganò wrote in a X post. “Nothing has changed since 1988, and we can even say that the situation has dramatically worsened.”
“I therefore express my full support for the decision taken by the Society of Saint Pius X,” he concluded.
Viganò had highlighted the “double standard” demonstrated by the Vatican’s “refusal to comply with” the requests of an orthodox Society as it promotes “synodality” that “opens to the way to schism,” something admitted by Bishop Eleganti himself.
According to Viganò, the Vatican has denied the SSPX permission to consecrate new bishops “precisely because it has not compromised with the conciliar revolution, the highest expression of which is synodality.”
By contrast, Bishop Eleganti, who has defended the Catholic faith from post-conciliar innovations such as synodality, denounced the SSPX’s plans for episcopal consecrations as “schismatic.”
The General House of the SSPX announced Monday that it plans to proceed with new episcopal consecrations without Vatican approval on July 1:
“After having long matured his reflection in prayer, and having received from the Holy See, in recent days, a letter which does not in any way respond to our requests, Father Pagliarani, in harmony with the unanimous advice of his Council, judges that the objective state of grave necessity in which souls find themselves requires such a decision,” read an SSPX communiqué dated February 2, 2026.
Bishop Eleganti maintained in a statement received by LifeSiteNews that the SSPX’s appeal to a state of emergency and prioritizing “the salvation of souls” “cannot in any way legitimize” episcopal consecrations without papal approval. The Catholic Church, he said, is “visibly realized in unity with the pope,” and this unity must be realized “canonically by refraining from obvious acts of canonical disobedience.”
“Popes adhere to tradition and do not contradict their predecessors on the Chair of St. Peter,” Bishop Eleganti said.
The SSPX and other orthodox clergy and Catholics have maintained, on the contrary, that popes have demonstrably contradicted their predecessors, particularly Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV. For example, Francis’ document Traditionis Custodes, which directly touches on a key part of the SSPX’s mission, the preservation of the TLM, contradicts Summorum Pontificum as well as Quo Primum by declaring that bishops have the right to restrict the traditional Latin Mass in their dioceses.
Quo Primum, by contrast, specifically states that the traditional missal “is hereafter to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used … We likewise declare and ordain … that this present document cannot be revoked or modified but remains always valid and retains its full force.”
In another example of papal contradiction to predecessors, Pope Leo XIV recently declared that different Christian churches are “already” “one,” contrary to Catholic catechisms, as well as Pope Leo XIII’s teaching in the encyclical Satis Cognitum that Christian unity is grounded in shared faith, the sacraments, and governance.
