On April 9, Pope Leo XIV met with David Axelrod, one of the most seasoned operators in the Democratic Party and the architect of Barack Obama‘s rise to power; four days later, Leo delivered the first in a series of pointed public critiques of President Donald Trump and his Republican administration. Hal Lambert, the founder of Point Bridge Capital and one of the more clear-eyed observers of the intersection between American politics and institutional power, saw coordination where others saw coincidence. ‘This is 100 percent political, ok? This is all about trying to hurt President Trump’s Catholic vote during the midterms and Republicans in the midterms,’ Lambert said Monday on CNN. A Pope who breaks bread with partisan operatives and emerges days later to attack a sitting president has ceased, in my mind, to function as a shepherd of souls. He has become, instead, a political actor—and a graceless one at that. And this fits a recent pattern for the Vatican. When Hamas butchered …
Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of the vsionary of Lourdes, Saint Bernadette Soubirous. She was known as the visionary who saw the Blessed Mother ,18 times,at a Grotto in Lourdes. It wasn’t until the sixteenth vision that the white-veiled beautiful woman identified herself as the Virgin Mary, saying “I am the Immaculate Conception." From her childhood until her death at age thirty-five, Saint Bernadette underwent much suffering caused by poverty, sickness, and the unkindness of some people. She endured her trials with patience and always maintained great faith and hope in God. Bernadette’s body is incorrupt, till date,which means that it is preserved by God from decay. She is the patron saint of bodily illness, Lourdes, against poverty, shepherds and shepherdesses, and people ridiculed for their faith St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes, Pray for us. Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us. Amen
So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left. And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing. All organically, I'm sure. I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne. This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in …More
Vatican.va that contains an archive of speeches of recent popes, altered the prayer delivered by Pope John Paul II in March 2000 in Wadi al-Kharrar, Jordan, in all languages. John Paul II concluded the prayer with the following words: "May Saint John the Baptist protect Islam." Unsurprisingly, this caused a huge scandal at the time. Archive.org has saved screenshots of the relevant files in different languages up to 10 February 2026. The new, fabricated version on Vatican.va, which John Paul II never uttered, reads: "May Saint John the Baptist protect this land." #newsHgeytapbbx
The change is sudden after all these years but... only the truth is interesting. The problem is: which version is correct - to establish it one has to check the original video/audio/broadcast and 2000 press releases (including e.g. the speech text - originally in English - in L'Osservatore Romano). For example here sb claims (February video) it was the long term Vatican error corrected allegedly this year (unfortunately do not placing links for the source material used which in the AI era is crucial): youtube.com/watch?v=u30ai5LQyKM
A Nigerian man is living in Letterkenny in the NW of Ireland: He's not fleeing because of war but because he is gay, but he's having a night out. He's asked whether he has family back home? "My wife and two sons."
The author has bought into all kinds of propaganda. The answer in this case is "no", for the simple reason that the full truth cannot be known by the lay Catholic, or even priests and bishops (at least in this country). There is simply too much propaganda. If Iran should not have nuclear weapons, then Israel should also be barred from having them. Yes, muslims in the region often chant "death to all Jews!" But Jews also often chant "death to all muslims!" There are some truths we can know for sure. There are millions of Christians, including Catholics, living peacefully in Iran. They haven't been deprived of their priests and bishops, or of their sacraments, by the Iranian government. The same cannot be said for the Christians and Catholics in Israel, who's numbers are smaller, and who have been deprived of access to the use of their own churches, and who are often spat upon by the Jews there (of this we now have dozens of videos as evidence). Trump is not the good guy in this. Those …More

Tue Apr 14, 2026 - 12:07 pm EDTWed Apr 15, 2026 - 11:56 am EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — In what is the first official Vatican acknowledgment of an active investigation into the legitimacy of Pope Benedict XVI’s 2013 resignation, the Office of the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican City State has formally confirmed that it is actively carrying out an investigation into a petition to the court alleging the nullity of the resignation. The Office is the body responsible for conducting criminal investigations for the Tribunal of the Vatican City State (commonly referred to by journalist Andrea Cionci as the “Vatican Criminal Court”). Cionci is a veteran Roman journalist with 20 years’ experience at Italy’s major daily newspapers and the author of the bestselling book The Ratzinger Code (25,000 copies sold and translated into five languages). He has conducted one of the most detailed examinations of Benedict XVI’s renunciation since 2020. LifeSiteNews has received and independently …
