The document addresses the current challenges facing the Catholic faith, particularly regarding the suppression of Marian titles like Co-Redemptrix. It argues that true

In recent months, shifts in media coverage suggest a revival of interest in Catholicism among Gen Z. Statistics indicate a rise in youth identifying as Catholic, with Traditional Latin Mass appealing due to its beauty and stability. However, many still embrace secular values. Authentic conversion requires deeper commitment beyond aesthetic attraction.

The Old Roman Apostolate addresses the challenges young Catholics face in today’s morally compromised society, particularly in higher education. Financial burdens and ideological conformity compromise students’ faith and virtue. Instead of rushing to university, the Apostolate encourages practical experience and discernment, prioritizing spiritual and moral integrity over mere academic pursuits.

The passage of the Assisted Dying Bill highlights a concerning shift in societal values regarding life and dignity. There is profound disappointment in the recent decriminalisation of abortion, viewed as a failure to protect vulnerable individuals. The author advocates for enhanced palliative care and emphasizes the sacredness of every life, urging a return to valuing human dignity.

On June 19, 2025, Archbishop Jerome Lloyd urged Sussex MPs to oppose the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, citing moral, medical, and legal concerns. He warns of a slippery slope toward legalized death and stresses the dangers posed by inadequate safeguards and medical opposition, framing the vote as a crucial moral choice for society.

The recent House of Commons vote on the Criminal Justice Bill’s amendments has removed protections for unborn children, declaring human life subjective and disposable. This legislation endangers women’s safety by allowing unregulated abortions. It reflects a moral decline, demanding a call to action for defenders of life and a rejection of complacency in the face of injustice.

On June 17, 2025, the British Parliament will vote on a contentious amendment to decriminalize abortion up to birth, facing strong opposition from healthcare professionals and public opinion against such measures. Advocates urge action to protect the unborn and maintain legal safeguards, emphasizing the moral importance of defending life.

The Old Roman Apostolate announces the election of Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, expressing support and prayers for his papacy. The statement emphasizes the need for renewed Catholic unity and fidelity to tradition amid moral confusion. It hopes for reconciliation and guidance from Mary and Saint Peter for the new Pope’s leadership.

As the College of Cardinals convenes in Conclave, the faithful are urged to pray for the election of a true shepherd, not a mere administrator. The Church seeks a leader who embodies faith, wisdom, and compassion. Members are called to offer penance and supplication for guidance from the Holy Ghost during this sacred time.

On the Feast of Pope St. Pius V, the author reflects on thirteen years of episcopal ministry with gratitude. Emphasizing the need for steadfastness in faith amidst societal confusion, they urge clergy and laity to commit to prayer, education, and preaching truth. They seek prayers for perseverance and express hope for the Church’s future.

The message commemorates St. George, England’s patron saint, and emphasizes his historical significance and virtues of courage, truth, and fidelity amid contemporary moral confusion. It calls on the faithful to live out their Christian identity and witness, encouraging a return to virtues that can renew England’s spiritual essence.

As Passiontide begins, the Church prepares the faithful to enter into the mystery of Christ’s Passion. The traditional liturgy, particularly the relocation of Psalm 42, emphasizes this shift from individual priestly preparation to the public proclamation of Christ as High Priest. This signifies a deeper participation in redemptive grace.

The text addresses the crisis of fatherhood today, emphasizing the importance of models like St. Joseph. It urges fathers, husbands, and clergy to embrace their responsibilities and spiritual leadership with strength, humility, and dedication. The message calls for a restoration of true fatherhood, self-mastery, and a commitment to guiding families and communities in faith.

As Lent approaches, the Church invites the faithful to deeper conversion and reflection on God’s merciful love. The ashes symbolize human mortality and the need for inner renewal through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Embracing these practices joyfully helps detach from worldly desires and focus on loving God and others, culminating in holiness.

The Community Safety Strategy 2023-26 (Year 2 Refresh) by Brighton & Hove City Council aims to address crime and social issues while prioritizing community safety. However, the Archbishop of Selsey critiques its broad definitions, warning against potential infringements on free speech and religious freedoms, urging alignment with legal protections and human rights obligations.

The message to the Old Roman Apostolate emphasizes courage and hope as the New Year approaches, rooted in Christ’s eternal promises. It reflects on past challenges, celebrates new ordinations and clergy incardination, and calls for commitment to humility, fidelity, and the sanctity of life. The Holy Name of Jesus is central for guidance and unity.

It reflects on past challenges, celebrates new ordinations and clergy incardination, and calls for commitment to humility, fidelity, and the sanctity of life. The Holy Name of Jesus is central for guidance and unity.

The Twelve Days of Christmas, beyond its festive nature, serves a vital catechetical role, encouraging spiritual reflection from Christmas to Epiphany. It discreetly conveys Catholic truths through symbolic gifts, aiding the faithful to preserve their beliefs during persecution. Archbishop Jerome’s meditations emphasize these meanings, fostering a deeper understanding of faith and joy in Christ.

This meditation on Christmas Eve invites reflection on the Incarnation, emphasizing the humility of Christ’s birth and God’s love for humanity. It encourages participants to set aside worldly distractions to embrace the profound mystery of this sacred season, focusing on the hope and peace brought by the light of Christ.

The Daily Advent Reflection by Jerome Lloyd focuses on the Jesse Tree’s symbology, illustrating God’s salvation plan from creation to Christ. Each day features a symbol, Scripture, and promise, inviting deeper understanding of God’s love and redemption. These meditations aim to prepare hearts for welcoming Christ and celebrating His promises.

The passage condemns the Assisted Dying Bill, viewing it as a severe moral failure that undermines the sanctity of life and the dignity of vulnerable individuals. It argues that the Bill legitimizes ending lives, exploits suffering, damages doctor-patient trust, and ultimately calls for greater investment in palliative care rather than legalization of assisted dying.

The Old Roman Apostolate calls the faithful to embrace Advent as a time for reflection, preparation, and penitence. This dual focus encompasses the remembrance of Christ’s first coming and the anticipation of His second coming. Advent invites believers to renew their hearts through repentance and acts of charity, reclaiming the true meaning of Christmas.

Archbishop Jerome Lloyd urges Sussex MPs to oppose the Assisted Dying Bill, highlighting ethical concerns about its societal impact. He emphasizes the need for improved palliative care, warning that the bill could compromise life sanctity and lead to coercion. Citing international examples, he calls for cautious deliberation on end-of-life legislation.

The Feasts of All Saints and All Souls emphasize our connection with God and the communion of saints. All Saints’ Day celebrates those in heaven, inspiring us towards holiness, while All Souls’ Day is a time for intercession for the faithful departed. Together, they guide us to live virtuously and prepare for eternal life.

On 19th October 2024, a coalition of concerned professionals, including Archbishop Jerome, Titular Archbishop of Selsey, and authored by gender-critical advocate James Esses, sent an open letter to the UK Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer.… More

The 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony has triggered significant controversy among the Christian community due to perceived blasphemy and inappropriateness. Specific segments, like the portrayal of “Festivité” and the “Last Supper,” have been interpreted as disrespectful and offensive. The ceremony’s lack of sensitivity towards religious symbols and traditions has sparked widespread condemnation from diverse religious leaders and communities, highlighting the need for greater respect and understanding of religious beliefs in global events. These blasphemous portrayals emphasize the importance of upholding the sanctity of religious traditions and promoting genuine inclusivity and respect for all faiths.

In the lead up to upcoming elections, faithful Catholics are encouraged to engage thoughtfully and prayerfully in the political process with a focus on the supreme good of their neighbors—eternal salvation and a closer relationship with God. This approach involves sacrificial love, speaking truth in love, compassion for all, and advocating for laws reflecting Christian values.

The text emphasizes the importance of speaking out against ideologies and actions contrary to Catholic teachings, invoking the Latin phrase “Qui tacet consentire videtur” to denote that silence can imply consent. It urges faithful engagement and the necessity of personal testimony in spreading the Gospel, highlighting the risks of inaction amid societal changes.

The contemplation of whether one aligns more with Judas or Peter invites profound introspection during the Sacrum Triduum. It emphasizes themes of betrayal, redemption, and personal growth. Engaging in this reflection helps individuals understand their motivations and fosters a renewed commitment to live according to Christ’s teachings amidst ongoing challenges within the Church.

The Lenten season invites believers to engage in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as paths to spiritual renewal and deeper connection with God. Through sincere practices, participants are encouraged to reflect, transform their hearts, and support those in need, fostering empathy and compassion while mending their relationship with the divine.

The Epiphany celebrates Christ’s illumination to the Gentiles, symbolized by the Magi’s gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Each gift reflects Christ’s kingship, divinity, and humanity, foreshadowing His mission. This occasion invites believers to offer their hearts to God and share His divine light and love with others.
