A new advertisement for a French perfume brand appeared on the LED screens covering the façade and apse of Rome’s Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. This prompted a group of residents and worshippers from the Monti district to send a protest letter to Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, criticising what they described as the “commercialisation” of the historic basilica. The screens were installed during restoration works that began in late 2024. Back then, Vatican officials said the advertising revenue helps cover renovation costs ahead of the Jubilee.

La pubblicità di un noto profumo francese sulla facciata della basilica patriarcale di Santa Maria Maggiore è stata la goccia che ha fatto di nuovo traboccare il vaso facendo insorgere un gruppo di fedeli del quartiere Monti che, alquanto sbigotti, hanno inviato una lettera di protesta al cardinale arciprete Rolandas Mackrikas.
«In quanto membri del Comitato cittadino del Rione Monti e residenti del Rione, vi scriviamo per esprimervi il nostro profondo sgomento per i due enormi cartelloni pubblicitari luminosi sulla facciata e sull’abside della veneranda Basilica». Il gruppo di fedeli si chiede se sia necessario ricorrere a pubblicità tanto appariscenti che nulla hanno a che fare con l'atmosfera e il luogo sacro. Dal volto di Sinner che fa da testimonial ad una marca di caffè, piuttosto che all'ultimo modello di uno smartphone, fino a un profumo. Il tema che viene sollevato è la evidente “mercificazione” di Santa Maria Maggiore...

Dancing Queen precedent! - Pax Orbis

It was honestly quite embarrassing to hear a band welcoming the Pope into St. Peter’s Square to the strains of the ABBA song, Dancing Queen. You can watch that cringe-worthy performance here.
Yet this song is something of a theme among some of the recent post-conciliar Popes.
The clip below comes from the film “The Two Popes” and has the character of Francis Bergoglio whistling “Dancing Queen” in a bathroom with Pope Benedict XVI.
In the movie, that scene moves into a montage of reports about a new conclave, as the ABBA rendition plays in the background.
Quite the coincidence.

THE EVIL OF THE BRITISH LABOUR PARTY CRIES OUT TO HEAVEN.

Say No to Labour’s ‘Summer of Sex’.
The Labour Party is attempting a radical transformation and degradation of our society’s foundational values. How? Through a new initiative, they are calling the ‘Summer of Sex’.
Related: BBC'S TRANSGENDER PROPAGANDA
Labour MP Samantha Niblett recently launched her “lifelong learning” project with the backing of adult entertainment and adult “toy” industries. This project aims to radically overhaul education and reshape public discourse around intimacy.

German Star Wars "Liturgy" Will Be Repeated - "Bookable Church Service"

Rev Gerd Neumeier of the Archdiocese of Bamberg has justified his “Star Wars” service held on April 18 talking to Katholisch.de on May 3. Neumeier emphasized that it was not a Eucharist, but a Liturgy of the Word.
The Church’s liturgy is “diverse”, he said: “When people hear the word ‘church service,’ most associate it with the same Mass over and over again, especially in connection with a priest.”
The event began with a lightsaber duel between Darth Vader and a Jedi knight. This was followed by the Kyrie, a first reading, Psalm 27, the Hallelujah, and the Gospel account of the temptations of Jesus.
According to Neumeier, Star Wars, with its themes of good and evil, light and darkness, is a perfect bridge to an encounter with God.
Neumeier announced that the format would be repeated: “Because the first one was received so well, we believe we are moving in a good and sustainable direction.”
The Star Wars service is part of the “bookable church services” project of the youth office …More

Vatican Sponsors Subversion of the Faith: The report of the Synod’s study group number 9 attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts "by stigmatizing that teaching as the expression of an obsolete ‘paradigm’ that no longer can be relied upon to communicate God’s will to His people," wrote Rev. Gerald Murray in TheCatholicThing.org: "This Vatican-sponsored destructive subversion must come to an end now."

‘Synodal Shepherds’ Attack the Sheep - The Catholic Thing

The Catholic Church is accustomed to attacks upon her teaching. The history of heresy over the centuries reveals the never-ending efforts of those who seek to replace Catholic doctrine with various errors. What the Church has only recently become accustomed to is attacks upon her teaching coming from some of her shepherds, especially from the never-ending pronouncements emanating from the office of the Synod of Bishops.
The latest imposition of the Synod is the recently published full-fledged endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle in the
Final Report of Study Group Number 9 “Theological Criteria and Synodal Methodologies for Shared Discernment of Emerging Doctrinal, Pastoral, and Ethical Issues.”
This report attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts – and the disordered nature of the homosexual inclination – by stigmatizing that teaching as the expression of an obsolete “paradigm” that no longer can be relied upon to communicate God’s will …

Fr. Gerald E. Murray on EWTN: "And the document, the report of study group number nine is horrific. I'll say that quite clearly. I've read that document. I find it to be a subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality. And this is a really, really crucial moment for the church because. The program of subversion in plain sight of Catholic teaching on the immoral nature of homosexual activity and the disordered nature of the homosexual inclination, this is a number one target for some people in the church. And sad to say, the Synod office is now just another public relations arm of that pressure group."

The Vatican is deaf when it comes to traditional Catholic morality. What a shame and look at the scandal this is causing.

If things keep going as they are going, Newchurch will have full acceptance of homosexuality. We shall see if God allows it to go that far. These gays who write these documents would do well to remember Sodom.

On Friday, Leo XIV. visited Naples Cathedral. Shortly before his arrival, the blood of Saint Januarius reportedly liquefied off-schedule. The miracle traditionally occurs three times a year and has also been linked to earlier papal visits, including that of Pius IX in 1848. During visits by John Paul II in 1979 and Benedict XVI in 2007, the miracle did not occur. Francis witnessed a partial liquefaction in 2015.

Digging into denialism: Emily Enns wins the 2026 Peter Mansbridge Investigative Writing Award

The Master of Journalism student earned the award for investigating the roots of residential school denialism and highlighting Indigenous resilience through on-the-ground reporting in Kamloops, B.C.
When Emily Enns began exploring a story about the replacement of existing Canadian street names with Indigenous ones for her second-year
Master of Journalism (MJ) investigative journalism project, she did not expect it to lead her into one of the nation’s more contentious historical debates.
While researching, she came across an online rant opposing street-name changes in Winnipeg. What surprised her was not the content but that it was written by a professor at her alma mater, the University of Manitoba (UM). Curious, she began looking more closely at the professor’s work, which led her to writings that downplayed the impact of the residential school system.
Enns soon discovered that some of the most visible disseminators of residential school denialism were not fringe commentators but …

This nonsense is driving people out of the Church.

Receive Christ, Receive The Holy Trinity
St. Peter urges us to sanctify Christ in our hearts, meaning to recognize and uphold His holiness. This is achieved through union with Christ, not just belief, but by entering into His love. The indwelling of the Holy Trinity within us, a mystery rooted in love, is exemplified by the Eucharist, where the entire person of Jesus, and thus the Trinity, is received.
The Holy Trinity, dwelling within each person in a state of grace, invites us to participate in their love. This love, exemplified by the union of Jesus and Mary, is not just a concept but a reality within us, calling us to love and be loved in return. By recognizing Christ’s presence and loving Him, we sanctify Him in our hearts and live in His love.
