Vatican Engages in Dialogue with SSPX to Prevent Excommunications

Vatican Engages in Dialogue with SSPX to Prevent Excommunications

The Vatican has initiated a dialogue with the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) to prevent further excommunications due to the illicit ordination of bishops. Cardinal Victor Fernandez, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, met with SSPX's Superior General, Father Davide Pagliarani, to discuss theological issues and potential paths to full communion with the Catholic Church. The SSPX, founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, has been in conflict with the Vatican since 1988 when it consecrated bishops without papal approval, leading to excommunications. Pope Francis has extended certain faculties to SSPX priests, such as the ability to hear confessions, as a gesture of goodwill. The Vatican's current proposal includes a structured theological dialogue to address unresolved issues from the Second Vatican Council.

California Lawmaker Warns of Economic Strain as Benicia Refinery Closure Tightens Fuel Supply

California Lawmaker Warns of Economic Strain as Benicia Refinery Closure Tightens Fuel Supply

California's fuel market is facing increased pressure as the Valero Benicia refinery, a major facility in Northern California, is set to close. This closure is part of a broader trend of refinery shutdowns that have reduced the state's capacity to produce its own gasoline. As a result, California is becoming more reliant on a limited number of operational refineries and imported fuel that must adhere to specific regulatory standards. The reduction in refinery capacity has already led to higher gas prices and increased market volatility. Republican state Senator Suzette Martinez Valladares has expressed concern over the situation, highlighting the impact on consumers who are experiencing rising costs at the pump. The closure of the Benicia facility is expected to exacerbate these issues, as the state's fuel supply becomes even more constrained.

Judge Dismisses Deportation Case for Mexican Father of U.S. Marines

Judge Dismisses Deportation Case for Mexican Father of U.S. Marines

An immigration judge in California has dismissed the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, a landscaper and father of three U.S. Marines. Barranco, who was arrested in 2025, has been living in the U.S. without legal status since the 1990s. His case drew significant attention due to the aggressive nature of his arrest and the fact that his children serve in the U.S. military. The judge's decision allows Barranco to pursue legal permanent residency. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced plans to appeal the decision, while Barranco's lawyer has expressed relief over the dismissal.
