Tue Apr 28, 2026 - 9:46 am EDTWed Apr 29, 2026 - 5:53 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A German theologian and vice president of a Catholic lay organization claimed that Cardinal Reinhard Marx implementing same-sex “blessings” in Germany was done “in consultation with Rome.” Thomas Söding, the vice president of the heterodox Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), was asked about Pope Leo XIV’s response to Marx implementing “blessings” for “couples of all gender identities” in an interview with Deutschlandfunk. Söding stated that what the Pope said “about blessing ceremonies is, as I see it, a kind of peace offering to the universal Catholic Church, which is, after all, torn in two on this issue.” “In Germany, what should and can happen with same-sex couples has been discussed with Rome, and that is not going to change,” he asserted. He said that the heterodox “blessing” guidelines came out of the German Synodal Way, which “is a response to an unresolved issue.” “At present, the …
The Finding of the Holy Cross - May 3 (326) When God restored peace to His Church by exalting Constantine the Great to the imperial throne, that pious prince, who had triumphed over his enemies by the miraculous power of the Cross of Christ, was very desirous of expressing his veneration for the holy places which had been honored and sanctified by the presence and sufferings of our blessed Redeemer on earth. He accordingly resolved to build a magnificent church in the city of Jerusalem. Saint Helen, the Emperor's mother, desiring to visit the holy places there, made a journey into Palestine in 326, though she was at that time near eighty years of age. On her arrival at Jerusalem she was inspired with a great desire to find the identical cross on which Christ had suffered for our sins, in order to build the proposed church on the site of Calvary. But there was no mark or tradition, even among the Christians, to show where it might lie. Saint Helen consulted everyone in Jerusalem and the …More

Vatican Press Director Under Fire Over Workplace Relationship: SilereNonPossum.com reports that Vatican Press Office Director Matteo Bruni allegedly has a relationship with an employee that “isn’t very clear”. However, one staff member added: “Actually, it’s very clear.” Sources provided chats, videos, and images allegedly showing Bruni with employee Chiara Armenti, including photos of them having drinks and dinner together outside working hours in Rome. Armenti, who has headed the Bulletin for the past year, is said by colleagues to enjoy a “privileged relationship” with Bruni that has “been wearing down the atmosphere in the Press Office for years.” Colleagues further allege that, feeling protected by the director, she has increasingly treated coworkers with condescension and arrogance, including those who had worked in the office long before her arrival.
05/03/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. There is a lot of money behind every war. Gutle Rothschild (wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild 1753-1849): “If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” Her husband Mayer Amschel Rothschild: “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws”. Source. Millions of people who have died in wars were, for the most part, unaware that they were dying simply so that a handful of banksters could consolidate their power over our world. Today, there are only three countries in the world that do not have a private central bank. They are: Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. Certainly, there are other areas of the world over which the Rothschild clan has no influence, but hardly anyone has heard of them, and therefore they play no role in today’s world. Both are wearing Turnbull & Asser ties. If you can pat King Charles on the chest as if he were your towel, then you must be a Rothschild… Inciting and supporting both sides in a war …
"Whenever human reason imitates God, then a human being can reach God, who has neither beginning nor end. For God is revealed by the knowledge of good and evil. This is what the wheel of eternity is like."

The Trinity (Scivias II, 2) ~ STRUGGLES FOR INDEPENDENCE 7. Songs for Saint Disibod [The universal community of the saints was a genuinely felt reality in the lives of Hildegard and her nuns, not only as an example to follow but also as a source of inspiration and a focus of devotion. This was especially true of patron saints of the locality such as Disibod, the seventh-century Irish bishop and hermit who founded a monastery on the summit of the hill that later bore his name. Hildegard spent half her life on the Disibodenberg and must have been highly familiar with its topography. She clearly associated the heights of the mountain with the spiritual stature of the saint to whom she dedicated …More
"Consider the One who saw you on the first day, who gave you eyes to see with; who gave you the wings of all creation to fly with. Consider the One who made human beings to be a mirror to the fullness of all his miracles, so that the knowledge of God would shine in them, as it is written: ‘You are gods and all of you are sons of the most high’. May he look upon you, and direct you to his will."
Rev. Larry Holland, a 79-year-old Catholic priest recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered medical assistance in dying twice by hospital staff. This was despite him making it clear that he is a Catholic priest and is morally opposed to euthanasia.
Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture. Priest Offered Death While Recovering, Not Dying Holland broke his hip after falling on Christmas Day. He is …More
1) The Muslim doctrine denies that Jesus was crucified on the cross. They teach that another person died in His place. a) John 19:17–18, 23, 30: Carrying His own cross, He went out to the place called Calvary, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha, and there they crucified Him and two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. After they had crucified Jesus, the soldiers took his garments, dividing them into four parts, one for each soldier, and the tunic. The tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. b) John 19:30 When After Jesus had taken the vinegar, He said, “It is accomplished.” And bowing His head, He gave up His Spirit. c) John 20:19-20; On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, while the doors of the place where the disciples were gathered were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After saying this, He showed them His HANDS and his SIDE. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. …More

PRAWDA o tym, dlaczego papież Franciszek i papież Leon XIV zabiegają o przychylność muzułmanów i zapraszają ich do Watykanu, by oddawali cześć „swojemu półksiężycowi”, podczas gdy kardynałowie wierni Ewangelii są odsyłani.
On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text: "There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.' What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter? Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions? Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More
Robert Prevost maliciously trampled upon the male priesthood and the papacy—instituted by Christ—while wearing the mask of so-called "ecumenical dialogue." Saint Alphonsus Liguori teaches that when a priest sins, he does so out of malice, and his sin is equivalent to that of the apostate angels. Furthermore, this approach is unbiblical; for, while Jesus commanded us to go forth and preach the Good News of the Gospel, He did not instruct us to persist in pleading with obstinate heretics. Regarding the heretic, Scripture tells us that, after two admonitions, we must turn away from him, for he is perverted and stands condemned by his own rejection of the Gospel. He has rejected the Holy Spirit. What Jesus taught us is that if someone does not receive the Gospel of Christ, we must shake the dust from our feet; for obstinacy is a sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit—it is a rejection of the Grace that God offers to those willing to repent and amend their ways, not to those who defy God. …More

A Legend of St Helena, the Discoverer of the True Cross The Basilica of the Holy Cross, the main church of the Franciscan Order in Florence, was founded on May 3rd, the feast of the Finding of the Cross, in 1294. Last September, on the Exaltation of the Cross, I posted pictures of the frescoes which the painter Agnolo Gaddi added to the main choir around the year 1385, a cycle that depicts the Legend of the True Cross. The Franciscans were extremely important patrons of the arts in that era, and the basilica is so rich in artworks that it would take several posts to list and describe them all. Here are some pictures from one of the side-chapels, which I am posting today because they are marginally connected to the story of the Finding of the Cross. The Bardi di Vernio chapel, located in the left transept, is dedicated to Pope St Sylvester I, and was decorated with stories of his life around the year 1335 by Maso di Banco; very little is known about this painter, but he is generally …
