Tue Apr 14, 2026 - 12:07 pm EDTWed Apr 15, 2026 - 11:56 am EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — In what is the first official Vatican acknowledgment of an active investigation into the legitimacy of Pope Benedict XVI’s 2013 resignation, the Office of the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican City State has formally confirmed that it is actively carrying out an investigation into a petition to the court alleging the nullity of the resignation. The Office is the body responsible for conducting criminal investigations for the Tribunal of the Vatican City State (commonly referred to by journalist Andrea Cionci as the “Vatican Criminal Court”). Cionci is a veteran Roman journalist with 20 years’ experience at Italy’s major daily newspapers and the author of the bestselling book The Ratzinger Code (25,000 copies sold and translated into five languages). He has conducted one of the most detailed examinations of Benedict XVI’s renunciation since 2020. LifeSiteNews has received and independently …
ESCLUSIVA: La Corte vaticana conferma l'indagine in corso sulla validità delle dimissioni di Papa Benedetto XVI È la prima volta che la Corte penale vaticana mette per iscritto che le accuse, risalenti a diversi anni fa, hanno dato il via a un'indagine attiva sulla validità delle dimissioni di Benedetto XVI.
As Kevin Tierney has pointed out more than once, there are many indications that Traditionis Custodes has been a tremendous failure in its overt mission of ridding the Church once for all of the dreaded Tridentine rite. For sure, its implementation (like that of Sacrosanctum Concilium) has led to damages, divisions, and dismay in far too many places, but worldwide there has been little attempt to suppress the old rite altogether, which continues to flourish in or adjacent to parishes and in certain fortunate dioceses. Pope Leo XIV himself has signaled that this policy is no longer a priority and has urged making room for diverse “sensibilities.” Whether he will dismantle or modify his predecessor’s legislation on this point is difficult to say. All the same, Traditionis Custodes looks like an act of violence in comparison with the pacific intentions of Summorum Pontificum, and it is well for us to reflect on the deeper theological and pastoral issues at stake, in order (ideally)…
Vatican.va that contains an archive of speeches of recent popes, altered the prayer delivered by Pope John Paul II in March 2000 in Wadi al-Kharrar, Jordan, in all languages. John Paul II concluded the prayer with the following words: "May Saint John the Baptist protect Islam." Unsurprisingly, this caused a huge scandal at the time. Archive.org has saved screenshots of the relevant files in different languages up to 10 February 2026. The new, fabricated version on Vatican.va, which John Paul II never uttered, reads: "May Saint John the Baptist protect this land." #newsHgeytapbbx
The devil does not operate from strength, but from desperation. Here's what I didn't understand for many years: I thought of the devil as an opponent who fights to win, who wants to win, who believes in his success. And this feeling made him scary, because an enemy who is confident of victory is dangerous. But then I read in the “Revelation” of St. John the Theologian, and this place turned my whole understanding upside down: “Woe to you, who inhabit the land and the sea, because the devil has come down to you with great anger, knowing that he has little time left”~Rev. 12:1. He has little time left, he knows it, so he is furious. It is not the wrath of the winner; it is the wrath of the condemned. Imagine a man who was sentenced to death saying, “After an appointed time, it will all be over for you.” What can he do? He can humble himself, but the devil is not capable of humility. This is the only thing he is deprived of by nature because of his pride. So he's doing something else: …More

The mission of Leo XIV will be to “calm the waters,” asserts the pro-gay Masonic “rabbi”—who denies Christ—Abraham Skorka, a friend of that reprobate of unhappy memory, Jorge Bergoglio. Skorka states: “We must not forget that the new Pope is, so to speak, a product of Francis. Francis saw him in Peru—he saw what this man accomplished in Peru—he fully identified with his work, brought him to the Vatican, and *made* him—to use the correct verb—a cardinal; it was as if he sensed a certain chemistry.”
I would love to throw a big bucket of Holy Water over Kissy Tucho and kick his alphabet donkey out of the Vatican - that's what Pope Leo should do if he had a shred or spark of Catholic courage.
The demons work through thoughts. St. Anthony the Great—a man who spent decades in the desert face-to-face with demons—spoke of this directly: 'The demons have no power over us by themselves. They merely suggest thoughts to us—nothing more.' What was he thinking? He refers not to the thought itself, but to the first impulse—a spark. Have you ever noticed this? You are calm, and then suddenly, for no reason, a feeling of frustration toward a loved one arises. Or a heavy, unnecessary gloom descends like a fog; or you suddenly want to say something offensive, and the words are already on the tip of your tongue." Abba Dorotheos of Gaza described Eight Generic Logismoi (tempting thoughts): 1. Gluttony (gastrimargia): Excessive focus on food/drink. 2. Lust (porneia): Sexual immorality or delusional thoughts. 3. Avarice (philargyria): Attachment to money/possessions. 4. Sadness (lype): Grief arising from unsatisfied desires. 5. Anger (orge): Malice or rage. 6. Acedia (akedia): Spiritual …More

This is how the basis for the U.S. president’s decisions can be described. We are currently witnessing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which was ordered personally by the U.S. president. The Liberia-flagged bulk carrier Christianna crossed after unloading 74,000 tons of corn at the Iranian port of Bandar Imam Khomeini, passing Iran’s Larak Island in the strait around 1600 GMT on April 13, Kpler data showed. A second ship, the Comoros-flagged tanker Elpis, was near Larak Island around 1100 GMT and cleared the strait about 1600 GMT. It was loaded with 31,000 tons of methanol, having left the Iranian port of Bushehr on March 31, Kpler data showed. Source. Monday, April 13, 4:00 p.m. GMT – that was the time Trump had announced for the start of the blockade. Taking advantage of the ceasefire, which miraculously remains in effect, the …
"Nothing could better serve Russia’s goal of insidious coexistence than reducing universal mistrust and opening many areas of sympathy worldwide… while it arms itself to the teeth." Short read explaining the "Perestroika Deception."
– Folha de S. Paulo, August 27, 1969 - by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira A few years ago, international communism stood as a unified doctrinal, cultural, and political force. Later, this monolith began to break apart. In Europe, the Yugoslav and Albanian divisions appeared. In Asia, a large rift formed with China. This caused communist circles worldwide to split into two opposing factions: pro-Russian and pro-Chinese. The 1968 Marcusian revolution in Paris and the Czechoslovak unrest highlighted the difference between liberal and anarchic neo-communism and the fiercely authoritarian Soviet communism. While all this was happening outside Russia, the monolithic nature of communism also underwent significant changes within the country. Khrushchev-era “thawed” communists appeared alongside traditional Stalinists. Then emerged post-Khrushchev communists, a seemingly mixed blend of Khrushchevism and Stalinism. Post-Khrushchev factions further split into doves and hawks. Ultimately, according to …More
During the flight from Algeria to Cameroon, Pope Leo XIV explained his visit to a mosque: "The visit was significant in showing that, despite our different beliefs, ways of worshipping and ways of living, we can live together in peace." However, Leo XIV had referred to the mosque as a 'divine, sacred space' and was not just talking about social affairs.
Pope explains his visit to the mosque was not to pretend Catholicism and Islam are the same but simply to promote the rejection of religious violence in Algeria.
