Today, Leo XIV has appointed Archbishop Hubertus van Megen as Apostolic Nuncio to Germany. A Dutch prelate born in 1961, van Megen was ordained for Roermond in 1987 and entered the Vatican diplomatic service. His career includes postings in Somalia, Brazil, Malawi, Sudan, and Eritrea. In 2014, Pope Francis appointed him nuncio to Sudan. Cardinal Pietro Parolin consecrated him a bishop. He later served as nuncio to Kenya and South Sudan, while also acting as the Holy See’s observer to the United Nations Environment Programme and UN-Habitat in Nairobi. After twelve years as nuncio in Africa, van Megen’s move to Germany may amount to a cultural shock. Archbishop van Megen emerges as a typical Francis-era field diplomat: shaped by the Global South, active in UN frameworks, and strongly aligned with interreligious and ecological initiatives. His expansive praise of Francis places him firmly within the current Vatican trajectory. Francis-Era Profile: "The Plague of Clericalism" Monsignor Van …More

On OeuvreDesVocations.fr, he highlights the "synodal method" of "conversation in the Spirit" in his pastoral approach. Loyal Member of the Apparatus Accordign to Riposte-Catholique.fr, he lost his tenderness when Catholics of …More
"sadly". Monsignor Novak was a staunch liberal with lots of "options for the poor". …and someone was actually expecting him to react differently when confronted with a situation of homosexual priest abusing a young boy????
The apostolic visitation of "conservative" Heiligenkreuz Abbey in Austria has concluded. Following several months of investigation and interviews with 90 monks, the Vatican has issued a number of recommendations. These include calls to 'clarify identity', 'reflect on its theological and spiritual orientation', and 'improve communication', both internally and externally.
Heiligenkreuz. For Rome, young monks are the problem, not heretical nuns without the veil
Should be what has the Church come to! The world follows the Church’s lead! “Sister Linda Pocher is left free to go around promoting heresies even on the ordination of women; the monks of Heiligenkreuz, by contrast, are told that they must review their theological and philosophical formation. What can one say - what is the world coming to?”
BEWARE - In a stunning video statement, Iran's Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi reassures Iranians that the two-week US-Israel-Iran ceasefire signals the regime's defeat, not survival. He calls for patience, self-protection, and readiness inside Iran for the "decisive final strike".
Priest’s chilling account of shooting in Nigerian Church on Easter | Shalom World News This Catholic priest’s testimony from St. Augustine Catholic Church, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has revealed the horror of an Easter night attack in Nigeria, where armed assailants opened fire on worshippers gathered to celebrate Easter.

The gunmen reportedly struck quickly and escaped before security forces arrived. The incident highlights ongoing insecurity and the persistent persecution of Christians in parts of Nigeria. Despite threats and repeated violence, many continue to gather in faith, even as fear grows over …More
One of the most shocking forced beatifications of the Francis pontificate was that of Bishop Angelelli, a terrorist-supporting Bishop from Argentina, who died in an automobile accident, but was deemed a martyr. He was so liberal, so cruel against orthodox Catholics, and so against any orthodox causes in his lifetime, that serious Catholics in Argentina mocked him by calling him "Satanelli" during his own lifetime. Another extreme liberal bishop, Jorge Novak, of Quilmes, was also placed by Francis on a fast track to beatification and canonization. Thankfully, with the new pontificate, the fast tracking is being reexamined, and, in Novak's case, at least one serious impediment has been found: his lax conduct regarding the case of at least one abusive priest under his care. The announcement of the Vatican derailment of the cause was made public yesterday by the local diocese: Communiqué on the Cessation of the Canonical Cause for the Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God …
Every country has both good and bad. Israel has such a small portion of good people, that sometimes I don't think they count. It's disgusting for anyone to support them. I see a lot of evil they do, but I don't post much at all on them so that no hate will be stirred in the people. I try to avoid it as much as I can GOD help those who support Israel and what they are doing not only in Israel but other countries like Lebanon, Iran etc. GOD Bless Abby and those who aren't afraid of showing the truth about Israel.
