The French public prosecutor has closed a case against Abbé Matthieu Raffray, a known member of the Institute of the Good Shepherd. The report against the priest was filed by an inter-ministerial office "for the fight against anti-LGBT hatred" (sic). Key phrase of the public prosecutor who refused to play 'Gaystapo': "After careful examination of the comments, no offence appears to be sufficiently serious to justify criminal proceedings against you. I am therefore closing this case." So even in decadent France, Abbé Raffray can call homosexual acts a sin and a vice. #newsXgpfdxurvb

Pope to CBS: Negotiated peace better than war without end The Pope's interview with CBS was the first one-on-one of a pope with American TV. Excerpts were broadcast on April 24; the full version comes out on May 19. Pope Francis asks the belligerent nations in conflicts around the world to “stop the war” in an interview with American journalist Norah O’Connell, an excerpt of which was broadcast on CBS on April 24, 2024. “Please, countries at war, all of them … Stop the war. Look to negotiate. Look for peace. A negotiated peace is better than a war without end,” Pope Francis said, addressing all nations at war in response to a question on what message he would like to send to Vladimir Putin regarding the conflict in Ukraine. About the risk of famine and genocide in Gaza, the Pope did not use these terms himself, but explained that he calls the local parish every day, where “there are about 600 people.” “They tell me what’s going on. It’s very hard. Very, very hard. And food goes in, but …More

Warning for the consecrated souls. "428. Before the Most High reforms or advances those, who for any reason enter the religious state, it is no more than right, that in turning away from the world they avert also their eyes from it and blot out from their memory all its images, forgetting all that they have in so praiseworthy a manner left behind. Those that neglect this requirement and are ungrateful and disloyal toward God, will doubtlessly fall under the punishment of the wife of Lot (Gen. 19,26), and if on account of the goodness of God they do not suffer this punishment in an equally open and visible manner, they nevertheless undergo it interiorly, remaining congealed and full of dryness, without fervor or advance in virtue. Forsaken by grace they thus do not attain the end of their vocation, make no progress in religion, nor find any spiritual consolation in it, and do not merit to be visited by the Lord as children, but to be left to their own resources like unfaithful and fugitive …More

“But woe to you, scribes (writers of the law) and Pharisees (clergy), hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven (mystical Bodyof Christ/the Church). For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them." [Matthew 23.13] The Novus Ordo ecumenic church of Vatican II is a perfect example of this hypocrisy.

APRIL 27 - THE FIRST READING breski1 Acts of the Apostles 13,44-52. On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said. Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'" The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe, and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region. The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas,…More

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced in a video released on Friday that Francis will attend the G7 meeting in Apulia, Italy, on 13-15 June. The Vatican press office confirmed the news. Francis accepted an invitation from the Italian government to discuss artificial intelligence, about which he has no idea, he doesn't even use a computer. Meloni said that this is the first time that a pope will participate in the work of the Group of Seven. The G7's commitment, she added, "is to ensure that artificial intelligence is both human-centred and human-controlled". Of course, the G7 ministers are also committed to anti-human abortion. The June meeting will be attended by - US President Joe Biden - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni - French President Emmanuel Macron - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz - Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida The European Union will be represented by Charles Michel and Ursula …More

Sister Nathalie Becquart, undersecretary of the former Synod of Bishops, told the German newspaper 'Die Tagespost' (25 April) that there is currently "no consensus" on the introduction of a diaconate for women. But she thinks it would be "a possibility" to leave the diaconate of women to the individual bishops' conferences (sic). There is already a diversity of [lay] ministries worldwide, she says: "The synod could emphasise this diversity by further decentralising it". Sister Becquart believes that Francis cannot or will not make a decision at this time. He has therefore again delegated the issue of women deacons to a commission. At the same time, he is "definitely" open to the "question" of the diaconate for women, but will "take a different path". Sister Becquart sees her leadership of the Ex-Synod as a consequence of a "decoupling leadership positions from priestly ordination". Francis is also doing this in the Roman Curia by appointing lay people or women to [useless] positions …More
