The Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship has acknowledged receipt of a “hierarchical recourse” filed against the apparent refusal of Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, to respond to requests concerning liturgical matters. The Vatican letter, dated February 16 and signed by Fr. Pierre Paul, confirms that the case has been assigned protocol number 369/25 and will be examined according to the applicable procedures. However, in the Vatican, such procedural formalities often lead nowhere; even the acceptance of an appeal does not guarantee any intervention or substantive action. Bishop Martin has aggressively curtailed Catholic liturgical practices in the Diocese of Charlotte. #newsAhximseszf
A common argument about 'recognising and resisting' the modern papal claimants is contrary to divine revelation, as taught by Vatican I, Sacred Scripture and the Church's tradition. M. J. McCusker May 27, 2025 A common argument about 'recognising and resisting' the modern papal claimants is contrary to divine revelation, as taught by Vatican I, Sacred Scripture and the Church's tradition. The primacy promised Everyone is familiar with the beautiful text of Matthew 16, in which Our Lord Jesus Christ promised to build His Church upon St Peter, as upon a rock: Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever …More
Mon Apr 27, 2026 - 6:09 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Every new passenger vehicle in the U.S. will soon be required by law to contain dystopian technology that places drivers and occupants under constant surveillance, creating an unprecedented level of intrusion into private lives while threatening citizens’ Fourth Amendment rights. Big Brother will be closely watching you every time you enter your vehicle in ways undreamed of until now. A national nightmare is on the near horizon. In 2021, Congress put in motion new federal requirements putatively aimed solely at reducing drunk driving accidents beginning in 2027. But they could open the door to far darker applications impacting every driver and passenger on the highway, in their own neighborhoods, or even their driveways. A chilling video shared on X lists the myriad ways that the new requirements could be used to severely — and dangerously — limit constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms. Technology meant to trigger a “kill switch” if a …
Bishop Bernard Fellay has warned members of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) that they could face excommunication after the episcopal consecrations planned for July 1. He made these remarks during a sermon at a confirmation on April 19 in St. Marys, Kansas, USA, as reported by AdVaticanum.com. Monsignor Fellay called it “enormously probable” that the FSSPX would be declared excommunicated and schismatic. He repeated: “There is a very high probability.” And: “They are so to say forcing themselves to do it. But whatever, God can do miracles. It’s not the end.” Picture: FSSPX, #newsZshndnlefa
Look at your keyboard. See the ⌘ key? In 1983, an artist who couldn't code drew it on a piece of graph paper — and changed how the world talks to computers. Her name is Susan Kare. And in 1982, she wasn't anywhere near Silicon Valley. She was in Arkansas, welding a life-sized razorback hog for a museum. She had a PhD in fine art from NYU. She had spent her career sculpting, painting, and curating. She had never written a line of code. She didn't even own a computer. Then her phone rang. On the other end was an old high school friend named Andy Hertzfeld — a programmer at a struggling young company called Apple, working on a secret machine called the Macintosh. He had a strange request: would she sketch a few icons for it? In exchange, they would give her an Apple II computer. That was the deal that quietly changed the modern world. When Susan walked into Apple in early 1983, computers were terrifying. To use one, you typed cryptic commands into a black screen. DIR. COPY. RUN. If you …More
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “Chapter IV ~ THE SUSPICIONS OF ST. JOSEPH INCREASE, AND HE RESOLVES TO LEAVE HIS SPOUSE—THE ANGEL OF THE LORD DECLARES TO TIIM THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION. The passion of jealousy produces sharp wounds in him who is attacked by it, and no one ever felt its effects so sensibly as St. Joseph, though, in fact, there was no foundation for it, if he had but known the truth. He was endowed with a singular intelligence to penetrate the sanctity and the lovely character of his spouse. But this, in augmenting his esteem for her whom he was about to lose, augmented his sorrow to find himself necessitated to abandon her. St. Joseph was not subject to the disorders of common jealousy, in which the passions of concupiscence are engaged, which neither reason nor prudence can vanquish. The jealousy of the saint arose only from the depth of his love and a conditional suspicion, viz.: whether his chaste spouse …More
"St. Joseph awoke, informed of the mystery which had been revealed to him, and instructed that his spouse was the Mother of God. He found himself divided between the joy of his happiness, and his unhoped for dignity, and sorrow for what he had been about to do. He prostrated himself instantly on the ground, and made, with humble fear and inconceivable contentment, heroic acts of humility and gratitude. He gave thanks to God for the mystery which had been disclosed to him, and for having made him the spouse of her whom He had chosen to be His mother—him, who did not deserve to be her servant. The doubts and uncertainty which St. Joseph had suffered, laid in him the foundations of the most profound humility, necessary for him to whom was confided the dispensation of the most holy counsels of the Lord. The remembrance of what had passed served as a lesson for his future life."
"St. Joseph saw not the angel through any image or form—he heard only the internal voice, and understood the mystery. He heard what St. Gabriel said, “ that he should not fear to remain with Mary his wife, because her condition was the work of the Holy Ghost. That she should bring forth a son, whom he should call Jesus; that He should deliver His people from their sins; and that in this mystery would be accomplished the prophecy of Isaiah —‘A Virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son, who shall be called Emmanuel, which means, God with us.’” We perceive from the words of the celestial ambassador, that the saint had separated from the pure Mary in intention, since he was commanded to receive her without fear."
A New Worry for Republicans: Latino Catholics Offended by Trump In 2024, the president made significant inroads with Hispanics. But in a competitive Arizona congressional district, voters now express dismay at his feud with the pope. nytimes.com/…26/04/24/us/politics/trump-pope-lati…When Stuart Sepulvida arrives at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Parish in Tucson, Ariz., for Mass, which he attends most mornings, he passes a display honoring local soldiers and encouraging parishioners to pray for their safety. Hundreds of small cards record their names: Robles, Arenas, Grajeda. A portrait of Pope Leo XIV hangs across the lobby. Mr. Sepulvida, 81, is a Vietnam veteran whose patriotism and Catholicism are deeply intertwined. He voted for President Trump three times but has never felt more betrayed by an American president than when Mr. Trump denounced Pope Leo as “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” “It was very disturbing to me to hear both of them clashing like they …More

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them. Elena Gorochowa, The Mountain of Crumbs Some attribute this sentence to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It is difficult to arrive at the truth through it, especially when one wants to describe that truth. We know they’re lying. They know they’re lying. We know that they know we know they’re lying. And yet they keep on lying. Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Who is moved by the “truth” that the President of the United States proclaims on TruthSocial or during exchanges with journalists? The Donald Trump Bridge, which the U.S. president just unveiled on truthsocial.com. The disconnect between reality and narrative clearly made an impression on Orwell, who worried that “the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.” The theme of falsified history and the destruction of truth would …
The Anglican heretic—pro-gay and pro-abortion—Sarah Mullally desecrates the tomb of Saint Peter in collaboration with the apostate Flavio Pace
On April 25, Sarah Mullally, who holds the title of Anglican Archbishop of Westminster, blessed at the tomb of St Peter and Archbishop Flavio Pace, 48, Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian unity, crossed himself.
Sacred Scripture He who receives a heretic shares in his evil works Anyone who is so ‘progressive’ as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him in your house or even greet him; for whoever greets him shares in his evil works. (2 Jn: 9-11)
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith In no way to be tolerated: that the clergy or faithful pray for Christian unity under the leadership of heretics Surely nothing should be preferable to a Catholic man than that schisms and dissensions among Christians be torn out by the roots and that all Christians be ‘careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace’ (Eph 4:3)… But, that the faithful of Christ and the clergy should pray for Christian unity under the leadership of heretics, and, what is worse, according to an intention, polluted and infected as much as possible with heresy, can in no way be tolerated. (Denzinger-Hünermann 2887. Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Letter to the bishops of England, September 16, 1864)
This was a set-up, another attempt by Donald Trump to draw attention to himself and away from plummeting ratings and widespread criticism of the war, says former soldier Tony Aguilar.

St. Louis de Montfort - April 28 Priest (1673 - 1716) Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (31 January 1673 – 28 April 1716) was a French Roman Catholic priest and confessor. He was known in his time as a preacher and was made a missionary apostolic by Pope Clement XI. He was born in Montfort-sur-Meu, the eldest surviving child of eighteen born to Jean-Baptiste and Jeanne Robert Grignion. His father was a notary. Louis-Marie passed most of his infancy and early childhood in Iffendic, a few kilometers from Montfort, where his father had bought a farm. At the age of 12, he entered the Jesuit College of St. Thomas Becket in Rennes, where his uncle was a parish priest. He was then given the opportunity, through a benefactor, to go to Paris to study at the renowned Seminary of Saint-Sulpice. When he arrived in Paris, it was to find that his benefactor had not provided enough money for him, so he lodged in a succession of boarding houses, living among the very poor, in the meantime attending …More
