Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump. Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, currently auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington, is the new bishop of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia. He is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk. Furthermore, Leo XIV elevated the prelates Gary Studniewski, 68, and Robert Boxie, 45, as new auxiliary bishops for Washington Archdiocese. Cardinal McElroy of Washington is one of the strongest pro-homosexual infiltrators. He publicly defended Fiducia Supplicans and said U.S. opposition focused on homosexual blessings reflected “enduring animus” toward homosexuals. His Archdiocese of Washington spans Washington, D.C., and surrounding Maryland communities, placing its bishops in regular contact with policymakers, diplomats and national media. With Menjivar, Boxie and Studniewski, Leo XIV has again reinforced a leadership group …More
Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure. InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post." Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese. Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007. He has been a Russian citizen since 2011. In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states. Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity …More
“Pezzi generally shares the position expressed in the statement, but the internal rules of the Roman Catholic Church do not allow him to make similar statements on his behalf,” Gorbunov said, according the Russian news agency RIA.

When the disciples had spoken to Heli of Hebron, the latter went back into the house by the court, but they turned to the right, and hastened down the north side of the hill, through Sion. They passed over a bridge, and walking along a road covered with brambles, reached the other side of the ravine, which was in front of the Temple, and of the row of houses which were to the south of that building. There stood the house of the aged Simeon, who died in the Temple after the presentation of our Lord; and his sons, some of whom were disciples of Jesus in secret, were actually living there. The Apostles spoke to one of them, a tall …More

Saint Joseph the Worker - May 1 Readings proper for the feast: Gn. 1:26-2:3 or Col. 3:14-24; Mt 13:54-58 Today is a wonderful occasion to reflect on the importance of work in the life of the human person, the family and the community. We are made in the image and likeness of God, we participate with God in the work of maintaining and sanctifying His creation. We work with Jesus; Jesus said “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working” (Jn. 5:17). Every day, St. Joseph, as a carpenter, provided for the family's needs with manual work. Thus the Church rightly points to him as the patron of workers. The dignity of the human person is constructed through work, and in the light of this truth, we can clearly perceive the fundamental connection between the person, work and society. Human activity - the Second Vatican Council recalls - proceeds from the human person and is ordered to the person. According to God's design and will, it must serve the true good of …More
The historic Église Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, France, was just set on fire. Survived both world wars but couldn’t survive diversity.
L’église Saint-Cyriaque de Montenach a été gravement endommagée par un incendie le 30 avril 2026. Le feu, probablement parti d’une zone végétalisée voisine, s’est propagé à la toiture sous l’effet du vent, détruisant une grande partie de la charpente et provoquant l’effondrement partiel du clocher. Aucun blessé n’est à déplorer. Les causes exactes restent à déterminer.
