Leo XIV says that he and the Vatican rejects Cardinal Marx move to allow the blessing of homosexual couples in his Diocese: “The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. When a priest gives a blessing at the end of Mass, when the Pope gives a blessing at the end of a large celebration like the one we had today, they are blessings for all people. Francis’ well-known expression ‘Tutti, tutti, tutti’ is an expression of the Church’s belief that all are welcome; all are invited; all are invited to follow Jesus, and all are invited to look for conversion in their lives. To go beyond that today, I think that the topic can cause more disunity than unity, and that we should look for ways to build …More
A dying Novus Ordo parish is given a Latin Mass, which naturally explodes in popularity. A few influential Novus parishioners get jealous, make up bogus accusations, and run the trads out of town. Now the parish is basically closed, and they call it a success. Sound familiar?
A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21. St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline. This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics. However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest. Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years. Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists. This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …More
On the return flight to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the decision of Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, to enforce "blessings" for homosexual couples in his archdiocese. Leo XIV replied: "First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. …More
Well it is unjust as it would be against divine law so it is a matter of justice. It pretends to equality with properly ordered relationships which it most surely is not so it offends true equality. It promotes slavery as freedom which is an attack on freedom itself. It therefore is a simulation of a blessing which attacks the true religion.

The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, commented on the July 1 episcopal consecrations in an in-house interview with LaPorteLatine.org. Key lines. - The episcopal consecrations… are not a rebellion, but the response to a cruel necessity. - Cardinals Gerhard Müller, Robert Sarah, and other bishops suffer from a typically modern malaise: an inability to reconcile the demands of faith with those of canon law, leading to a kind of paralyzing dichotomy. - The FSSPX holds that these principles must not simply be juxtaposed, but hierarchized - one subordinated to the other. - The ‘rigorous’ canonists still consider the FSSPX schismatic — this is how one must understand the statements of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. - Bishop Athanasius Schneider has shown great courage and freedom of speech… his support will go down in history. - I thank Bishop Joseph Strickland for his message full of strength, clarity, and courage. - Bishop Vitus Huonder,…More
A rare celestial event is set to capture attention as an interstellar comet makes its way through the solar system, offering skywatchers a unique viewing opportunity not seen since prehistoric times, reported NYPost. The interstellar comet known as C/2025 R3 (Pan-STARRS) was first discovered on September 7, 2025, by the Pan-STARRS survey at Haleakala, Hawaii. This icy object completes an orbit around the Sun only once every 170,000 years, making its current appearance extremely rare. Over the next ten days, this comet will steadily increase in brightness as it moves toward the inner solar system. On April 19th, it will reach its closest point to the Sun, or perihelion. Although it will come very close, it will remain confined to about half the distance between Earth and the Sun, making it highly unlikely to break up, as happens with some comets that approach extremely close to the Sun. On April 27th, the comet will be closest to Earth and at the same time, it will appear brightest. …

Ken Harbaugh examines how Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, and Donald Trump have each, in their own way, weaponized and debased religious faith — from Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer at the Pentagon to Trump's “Jesus, MD" post. He's joined by Reverend Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President of Interfaith Alliance, to discuss what it means for American democracy when the people in power treat faith as a political prop.

SEAN HANNITY DEAD WRONG ON CLERGY ABUSE - … SEAN HANNITY DEAD WRONG ON CLERGY ABUSE Bill Donohue I have known Sean Hannity for years, and he is a good guy. But I cannot allow our friendship to get in the way of my job. He made comments on his April 16 Fox News show about the clergy sexual abuse scandal that are dead wrong. Apparently, he also offended Catholics on his radio show this week. Sean started out by saying he was raised Catholic, went to Catholic schools and attended a seminary high school. He said he broke away from the Catholic Church because of the clergy sexual abuse scandal. That is his business. But it is my business to correct the record when misstatements of fact abound about this subject. Sean said, “I left the Catholic Church in large part because of institutionalized corruption. And it was at the parish level to the bishop level, cardinals, all the way to Rome. And you know, the very top scandals, terrible behavior, frankly, went not only unchecked, but they never …More
