Leo XIV Appoints Woman as Scriptor Latinus of the Vatican Library

On April 30, Pope Leo XIV appointed Andreina Rita as Scriptor Latinus of the Vatican Apostolic Library.
The Italian scholar will help oversee the stewardship of the Library’s Latin manuscripts and texts.
Born in Caprarola, Italy, in 1965, Rita studied Modern Literature at La Sapienza University of Rome and completed further training in library science and archival studies.
She joined the Vatican Apostolic Library in 1994, became Head of Office in 2017, and has served as Director of the Department of Printed Books since 2020.
She joins Fr. Giacomo Cardinali, 48, who was appointed in April 2025, as one of the Library’s two Scriptores Latini.

Migrant rapist gets a trivial 6-month sentence because he’s too ‘low-IQ’ – Allah's Willing Executioners

Medforth AI
A 21-year-old migrant rapist, who assaulted and violated a 13-year-old girl, has just been given extreme leniency in Norway because the court has found him too stupid to be held accountable as a rapist should—he’s been sentenced to just six months in jail, and I have to wonder if he’ll get out early.
According to an
article at Remix News, Syrian man Abdelmonem Abdelrazak Al-Yousef, who doesn’t speak any Norwegian, tried to deny that he ever met the girl, but the cops found his semen all over the asphalt of the bicycle parking area where the assault occurred, and spotted him on surveillance video. My kids have a phrase for situations like this: “caught in 4K.”
Naturally, the court rejected Al-Yousef’s defense, “noting it was entirely lacking in credibility”—DNA evidence and video footage tend to be conclusive! But, after forensic psychiatric experts evaluated Al-Yousef, they concluded that “he had a mild intellectual disability,” determining his IQ to be somewhere …

The calm, the coherence and the logic of St. Joseph

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
March, 19th 1976
“A Roman and Apostolic Catholic, the author of this text submits himself with filial devotion to the traditional teaching of Holy Church. However, if by an oversight anything is found in it at variance with that teaching, he immediately and categorically rejects it.”
The words “Revolution” and “Counter-Revolution” are employed here in the sense given to them by Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira in his book Revolution and Counter-Revolution, the first edition of which was published in the monthly Catolicismo, Nº 100, April 1959.
What was the occasion in Saint Joseph’s life when he practiced logic to a heroic degree?
It was the well known episode when he saw that Our Lady had conceived a child of which he was not the father. The Gospel mentions the matter. He was faced with an absurd situation.
On one hand, it was evident to him that Our Lady was a saint because her sanctity shone forth in every way. However, on the other hand, he faced …More

Acts 13:44-52
On the road, there are people who have no idea of what God's presence is like.
It is good to approach them gently and reveal the beauty of God in their hearts.
John 14:7-14
Jesus said to Philip, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.”
When we realize that the love of God loves us infinitely more than the greatest joy we have ever experienced, we begin to see God.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Possible Suicide Note Hidden From Public View
An inmate said he discovered the note after Mr. Epstein was found injured in his jail cell, weeks before his death. It’s now locked in a courthouse.

A suicide note purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan jail has been kept secret for nearly seven years, locked up in a New York courthouse.
A cellmate said he discovered the note in July 2019, after Mr. Epstein was found unresponsive with a strip of cloth around his neck. Mr. Epstein survived that incident but weeks later was found dead in the jail.
The note was eventually sealed by a federal judge as part of the cellmate’s own criminal case, according to documents and interviews. That means investigators scrutinizing Mr. Epstein’s high-profile death lacked what could have been a key piece of evidence.
On Thursday, The New York Times petitioned the judge to …More

Why do the righteous suffer while the wicked prosper?
Why is it that those striving for righteousness are often beset by trials, sorrows, and infirmity, while the transgressor appears to dwell in uninterrupted peace?
Consider the hunter: he wastes no arrow on the carcass, nor does he strike the prey already bound within his cage. In this same manner, the Devil—the Great Hunter of Souls—sets his sights only upon those who are spiritually vibrant. He does not waste his strength on those who already wear his chains; he reserves his fury for the one attempting to escape. To the spiritually dead, he grants a false peace—the quiet of the graveyard.
A Call to Vigilance:
Let not the heart be deceived by a season of ease, for the silence of the Enemy is often the greatest proof of his ownership. The peace of the sinner is not a blessing; it is a numbing anesthetic administered before the final blow.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, …More

Report: Vatican Preparing for Aftermath of SSPX Consecrations
Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith reportedly “concerned about pastoral care” of clergy leaving SSPX after July 1 episcopal consecrations.
VATICAN CITY, 29 April 2026 — Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández has prepared a declaration of schism should the Society of St. Pius X proceed with episcopal consecrations in Écône on July 1. The Vatican is also making pastoral arrangements to welcome those who may leave the SSPX after it ordains new bishops without papal permission.
This is according to reports by Italian journalist Nico Spuntoni. His comments come amid online rumors about who precisely will be subject to the decree prepared by the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
“Informed sources on the matter have confirmed to me that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is already prepared for a scenario of schism following the likely new consecrations,” Spuntoni confirmed to me recently.

I'm so glad Cardinal Porn is going to declare the Vatican in schism with the Catholic Faith. Jonah began his journey into the city, walking for an entire day. Then he proclaimed, “After forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown.” The people of Nineveh believed this message from God. They proclaimed a fast, and everyone, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. -- Jonah 3:4-5

Prevost exercises his spurious Masonic pontificate in a synodal manner.
In the Anti-Church led by Prevost, all false religions are considered equal.
The apostate Robert Prevost: "Everything we hear today regarding synodality, we were already doing in Chulucanas back in the 1980s."
That is why this apostate and sacrilegious Marxist priest accompanied shamans to worship Pachamama.
The Church has condemned religious indifferentism; it is for this reason that it condemned Freemasonry. This religious indifferentism—which violates the First Commandment—is considered the greatest blasphemy against the Most Holy Trinity, drawing down the most severe punishments upon humanity. These parodies of invalid blessings are, in reality, curses.

Let us also recall that, under the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI (March 6, 2010), the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith broke with the Anglicans:
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
The decision of the Church of England to permit the ordination of women bishops was a step which would have a serious negative impact on full union with the Church
Pontifical Council for promoting Christian unity
The Anglicans themselves requested to put a hold on the meetings geared toward their full union with the Catholic Church in order to bless unions between persons of the same sex

Robert Prevost committed a sin of malice: Let us recall that she—disguised as a bishop—guided Prevost in "prayer" after the heretic—disguised as a priest—profaned the Tomb of Saint Peter.

Factory Employee May Be Taken Any Moment Atlanta Georgian
A sensational arrest will be made in the Mary Phagan murder mystery within a few hours.
It will be based on the firm theory of the police and detectives that the strangled girl was never outside the factory of the National Pencil Company from the time she went in there for her pay Saturday noon until her dead and mutilated body was taken to the morgue early Sunday morning.
The detectives do not believe that Arthur Mullinax is guilty of the murder.
They do not believe that J. M. Gantt is guilty of the murder.
They do not place any dependence on the identifications of Gantt and Mullinax made by various persons before Chief of Detectives Lanford.
They are confident that the author of the terrible deed was a person who is not under arrest at the present time. They know his name. They have talked with him. They have his story of …
