Four Catholics were arrested in Rajasthan after Hindu nationalist activists stormed a Catholic gathering of about 70 faithful and accused them of “forced conversions.” Police intervened and detained the four Catholics, even though Church leaders say the meeting was a peaceful religious event attended only by Christians. Attacks and harassment against Christians continue to rise across India.
07.05.2026 TRUMP AND THE IRANIAN PROBLEM I was a Staff Reporter at the daily Morning News, Karachi, Pakistan, for about 12 years in the 1980’s.I had worked as a Stringer Sports Reporter, part time, for the newspaper and then was apprenticed to the Sports Editor,HMS Baig, before I joined them.I was not content there and switched to the City Desk. The City Editor Iqbal Mirza appreciated my work and I was happy with my ‘beats’. The work was meaningful Some of the things I remember were my in- depth reports on the pharmaceutical companies dumping banned drugs in the country. This led to the government banning Clioquinol. The multinational company stopped its sale. Then there were a series of reports with Latafat Ali Siddiqui on the sale of marijuana and other narcotics in the city. Other newspapers picked it up. The drugs were not available in the city for some time. I remember being at St. Patrick’s High School one evening talking to the priests I knew there, when there was a loud blast …More

"(33) So the enemy made up his mind against her and aroused some people of high status in the world who secretly asked her to please agree to go and stay in their house in the company of one of their lonely little daughters, and said that if it was necessary to obtain permission from the pope or from anyone else, she should not doubt that all which was necessary to the health of the soul and the body would be provided her better than she could know how to ask for it.. She did not consent to all these promises, but stayed firmly and constantly in the aforementioned place with full faith that she was still established in the cloister under the Rule of St. Clare. And so it was."
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (28) After some more time had passed in such poverty, the enemy of all those who have set foot on earth appeared again. This time he came in the appearance of the Virgin Mary with her little Son in her arms. He addressed her and spoke thus, scolding her: “You have not wished to abandon your wicked self-love, and I will not give you the virtuous love that is my little Son’s.” And having said this, he disappeared like a person who was upset. And she, thinking that it was the Mother of Christ, pondered very bitterly, believing that she was estranged from her and her Son. (29) Now let the listener think into what mortal weakness and sadness of heart this led her, so much that she could scarcely hold herself upright, so much that many times she would have despaired if she had not known well that the worst sin that can be is that of despair, and also because the divine …More

'Regardless of the report, the Catholic Churchteachesthat homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” TheCatechism of the Catholic Churchstates: “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”
Tue May 5, 2026 - 12:08 pm EDTTue May 5, 2026 - 5:40 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A report from the Vatican’s General Secretariat of the Synod published Tuesday suggests a reframing of homosexuality, endorsing testimony without qualification that “sin, at its root, does not consist in the (same-sex) couple relationship” but in “a lack of faith in a God who desires our fulfilment.” The Vatican-commissioned Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality published its Final Report May 5, “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues.” Under the heading, “Taking a synodal approach to discernment: A proposal for implementation in local Churches,” the 32-page document relies on the testimonies of the “lived experience” of two individuals with same-sex attraction to “aid the promotion of pastoral discernment.” Framing the two testimonies as “experiences of goodness” which constitute “successive stages of development in …
Cardinal Tucho Fernández repeated to VaticanNews.va on May 6 that the German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. The pro-homosexual cardinal is a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. He stated that a letter he sent in November 2024 regarding an earlier draft of the German bishops’ blessing guidelines remains fully applicable to the final version approved in April 2025. The German bishops’ document in question is titled Blessing Gives Strength to Love. They falsely claimed Vatican support for their guidelines. The Vatican’s release of the November 2024 letter was “in agreement with Pope Leo XIV.” “That letter is the only and final response,” Tucho told Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, chairman of the German bishops’ liturgy commission, during a meeting in the Vatican on November 12, 2025. Tucho explained that although the final German text differs somewhat from the original draft …More
By refuting the formal ritual of the pseudo-blessing of sodomitic concubines—devised by the schismatic German apostates—Tucho reaffirms his own sacrilegious and "informal" pseudo-blessing for sodomitic concubines; while it might appear that he is taking a step backward, in reality he is moving forward by reaffirming his own pseudo-blessing. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples
The Alberta Independence petitions are now in the hands of Elections Alberta. A lot of people are asking what happens next. Because of the temporary court stay, the signatures currently sit sealed while the court decides whether the counting process can proceed. And that court process matters. For many Albertans, this is exactly the problem. A Liberal-appointed judge now has the power to delay or block a democratic process supported by over 300,000 Albertans. This is exactly why the independence movement exists: Albertans are tired of having their future decided by people and institutions that do not share their values. If cleared, Elections Alberta can verify the signatures and the question can move toward the October 19 referendum: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall cease to be part of Canada and become an independent state?” But if the court blocks the process, the democratic demand does not disappear. The pressure shifts directly back to Premier Danielle Smith. The …More
Our Lady’s prayers are so powerful! e.l.f Cosmetics co-founder Deacon Scott Borba will be ordained a priest on May 23, 2026, in the Diocese of Fresno, California. Deacon Borba is a former esthetician, actor, model, author, and singer who gave up his multimillion-dollar career to answer a call to the priesthood. He spent over 20 years working in the health and beauty industry, and donated all of his wealth to charity after answering a lifelong call to the priesthood at the age of 42. According to Angelus News, Borba said God called him to the priesthood at the age of 10, but he “accepted late.” He also told his conversion story to yourcentralvalley.com in a 2019 interview, explaining that “God has blessed me with everything under the sun.” Borba said he asked God to allow him to fulfill multiple dreams, to which he felt the Lord say “yes.” “He not only blessed me with blessed me with money, and awareness, and just every business I had, he allowed me to have success with it,” Borba …
How about they set aside their fear and start by calling things by their proper names? This "emergency" is called apostasy. Prevost and his accomplices are rebelling against God and against the Church.
Remember the good old days when the Jesuits forbade their members from becoming bishops or accepting any other kind of powerful religious or secular office to keep their innate intelligence and talent from devolving into arrogance, and resulting in their judgment about whether they existed to serve God or to improve on Him being clouded? So much of the evil that has seized the church has been initiated by Jesuits who were set free to give their conceit and arrogance free rein.
Matthew McCusker Thu May 8, 2025 Both liberals and traditionalists are often under the false impression that the infallible exercise of the Church’s teaching authority is something which occurs only rarely. Painting of the First Vatican Council, 1870 Editor’s note: Despite the recent death of Francis the debate over his claim to the papacy remains of importance if we are to understand recent events, and prepare for what happens next. For this reason, LifeSiteNews will continue to publish the remaining installments of this series. We ask our readers to pray for the repose of Francis’s soul. All those things are to be believed with divine and Catholic faith which are contained in the Word of God, written or handed down, and are proposed by the Church either by a solemn judgment or by her ordinary and universal magisterium to be believed as divinely revealed.

06.05.2026 Popes Leo, Francis and Benedict use the LG 16 - visible premise to interpret Vatican Council II liberally : President Trump could correct the general dishonesty of the U.S State Dept., the Vatican and Italian Govt. This dishonest interpretation of Vatican Council II is being used by the U.S State Department and the Government in Italy. The Catholic traditionalists have to accept Vatican Council II interpreted with the Irrational and not Rational Premise or be excommunicated. This is not the Gospel. This is not the truth but a falsehood. With the LG 16- error the books of Cardinal Ratzinger are no more conservative and authoritative but heretical and schismatic. It is the same with the writings of Pope Francis. For Pope Leo, Vatican Council II has exceptions for EENS. It indicates that LG 16 refers to a physically visible and not invisible case. This is dishonesty and it is irrational. Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez used the LG 16 error of Rahner and Ratzinger to interpret …More
