Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing." When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal …More
Not the Vatican, your excellency, Vatican II. If you would forcefully denounce the most visible false and heretical teachings of the Council, such as Ecumenism, Religious Liberty, Collegialism, and Nostra Aetate, perhaps you might cause some of them in the Vatican to examine their conscience.
Screengrab OK At a press conference in Dover, Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s spokesperson on immigration, policing, and national security, launched the party’s mass deportation proposal. He described the UK as “invaded” by migrants and said the plan would be the largest deportation programme in British history. Reform has stated it would deport more than 600,000 people in its first term, using a dedicated unit to track down, detain, and remove those in the country illegally, at a rate of up to 288,000 per year. Yusuf was born in October 1986 in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, the son of Sri Lankan Muslim immigrants who came to the UK in the early 1980s. His father is a doctor and his mother a nurse, both working for the National Health Service (NHS). A Muslim son of immigrants leading a party strongly associated with anti-immigration politics, Yusuf nonetheless shares many concerns familiar to American conservatives. Reform UK’s platform addresses illegal immigration, welfare …
For about forty years, the United States and the Soviet Union spent an absurd amount of money preparing for the end of the world. Both sides built bunkers, stockpiled supplies, trained civilians, and developed survival protocols that most people today have completely forgotten about. But here’s the thing – the scenarios they were preparing for sound a lot like what you are getting ready for right now. The triggers might be different, but the problems are the same. The Cold War generated decades of real, government-funded survival research. Most of it gathered dust in declassified archives and forgotten civil defense manuals. Some of it is surprisingly practical, and almost none of it gets talked about anymore. That changes now. The Swiss Shelters When people think Cold War bunkers, they think of secret government facilities buried inside mountains. Fair enough, but the most impressive civilian shelter program didn’t come from the US or the Soviet Union. It came from Switzerland. …
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 7:08 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A mother in Austria has been fined for temporarily keeping her 10-year-old son out of school during a sexual education class. Michaela Vamos-Karandish was fined 110 euros ($128) for keeping her young son out of school for four days in March 2025 after an external sex education workshop was to take place. The workshop’s content had not been disclosed to parents beforehand. In addition, numerous sex education books – the content of which some parents found questionable – were made available in the classroom for unsupervised use by students. According to a report by ADF International, the materials included books such as Lina, the Explorer and My First Sex Education Book, which contain explicit depictions of sexual practices. Some of the books also depicted modern views on gender and family, incompatible with nature and traditional teaching. The mother argued that these violated the principle of neutrality in public schools. In a book …
These filthy pigs are filled with the spirit of their Father, Satan and desire nothing more than to destroy innocent children. May God strike them all.
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit priest Joseph Samedi, 54, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Bangui. The appointment places Fr Samedi alongside Cardinal Dieudonné Nzapalainga, 59, who is only five years his senior. Background to the Appointment Cardinal Nzapalainga has led the Archdiocese of Bangui since 2012 and was made cardinal by Pope Francis in 2016. He rose to international prominence for his interfaith work during the Central African Republic’s civil conflict, particularly through the 'Plateforme des Confessions Religieuses de Centrafrique', a coalition of Christian and Muslim leaders promoting reconciliation. In recent years, however, local and regional reporting has pointed to growing tensions between the Archdiocese of Bangui and the Nunciature in the Central African Republic. The most sweeping allegations have come from journalist Jean-Paul Naïba, who accuses the cardinal of greed, financial misconduct, nepotism, and misuse of church-affiliated NGOs. Regional outlets including …More
"Kwasniewski’s program for a new Church constitution (after years of heavy hints) has finally seen the light of day as a Manifesto translated from German and heavily inspired by Georg Hegel. This turgid text might only be closely examined by those sympathetic or scandalised enough to be bothered (it’s a pity Luther is not around – he could have helped with the prose), but it leaves one thing clear: Kwasniewski is no traditional Catholic....It is also for the reader to fathom how Kwasniewski’s declaration of neutrality1concerning the SSPX consecrations can be reconciled with his total support for a Manifesto centred on condemning these consecrations and ridiculing their justification." The high church modernist Synodal Way to …
Vinicius returns to the theme of High Church Modernism (see previous articles here and here) – that incoherent ideology found among many influential ‘traditionalist’ commentators but which is in fact a blend of occult mysticism, Vatican II ecclesiology and the rejection of the decrees of the dogmatic First Vatican Council. by Vinicius For Gallican “reformers” the Catholic Church has been all wrong for most of the last thousand years. Their unoriginal solution (in view of Lutheranism, Gallicanism, Anglicanism etc) is to go back to the “early Church”. Writers like Peter Kwasniewski, Sebastian Morello, and Tim Flanders can’t be sure exactly what period has to be dusted off or what this means; the only dogma seems to be anti-papalism and open-ended radical change to the constitution and even doctrine of the Church. Traditional rite Catholics who endorse the unorthodox novelties and equivocations in Vatican II texts have been thrown completely off-balance by the Society of Saint Pius …
04/25/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. As I sat on the terrace this morning drinking my coffee and enjoying the sight of the blooming chestnut trees, the birdsong and the buds on the trees reminded me of my childhood. I didn’t drink coffee as a child, but everything else was already part of my life. There were also May beetles… This pleasant atmosphere would surely have lasted much longer had I not looked up at the sky. To the conspiracy theorists who believe in contrails, I assure you that passenger planes do indeed fly in this area of Vienna. They always fly in one direction toward the airport and never leave contrails, as they are in the landing phase, during which the plane reduces its speed and altitude. These contrails were not left by any commercial aircraft. The flight paths of planes departing from Vienna pass over different parts of the city depending on their destination. Wikipedia • Chemtrails are said to be a specific type of contrail that, according to related …
Jesus explained that it was preferable to be punished with the death penalty than to face the eternal punishment that awaits those who corrupt the weak and cause them to stumble. Luke 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas Pro death … Saint Thomas Aquinas, in the *Summa Theologiae*, teaches that heretics render themselves worthy not only of excommunication but also of physical extermination. In his *Summa Theologiae*, he writes: "In the case of heretics, two aspects must be considered: one on their part, and the other on the part of the Church. On their part, there is indeed a sin whereby they have merited not only separation from the Church through excommunication, but also exclusion from the world THROUGH DEATH." "However, on the part of the Church, there is mercy in favor of the conversion of those who err; and for this reason …More
Catena Aurea: Saint Jerome When the Lord says: "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, etc.," He employs the language customary in that province; for it was the custom among the ancient Jews to punish the most heinous criminals by casting them into the sea bound to a stone—a punishment that was, in fact, preferable for them. For it is far better to undergo a brief punishment than to be reserved to suffer eternal torments.
Jesus endorsed the death penalty to protect the innocent from depraved men who seek to corrupt them or cause them to sin. Matthew 18:6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
"6. The three powers of a flame And just as there are three powers in the glowing heat of a flame, so the one God is in three persons. How is this? The flame consists of splendid brightness, purple vigour and fiery glow. It has a splendid brightness so that it can shine its light, a purple vigour so that it can maintain its existence, and a fiery glow so that it can burn. Consider the Father in the splendid brightness, for he sends out his brightness to the faithful through the goodness of his fatherhood; and in the purple vigour held within the flame and containing its strength, consider the Son, who assumed a body from the Virgin in which the godhead declared its marvels; and in the fiery glow perceive the Holy Spirit, who pours his fire over the minds of believers.But the flame will not be seen if there is no splendid brightness, or purple vigour, or fiery glow; in the same way, God is not worthily honoured in any place where neither the Father, Son, nor Holy Spirit is venerated."
[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] “5. The Trinity (Scivias II, 2) The illustration accompanying this vision of the Trinity in the Rupertsberg codex shows a series of three concentric coloured circles with a large figure of a man standing in the middle. The subtlety with which Hildegard uses imagery to explain the mysteries of the Trinity should be compared with her letter to Odo of Soissons (4) on the same subject. Scivias, Part II, vision 2 Then I saw an extremely bright light and in the light the figure of a man the colour of sapphire, and it was all burning in a delightful red fire. And the bright light flooded through all the red fire, and the red fire through all the bright light, and the bright light and the red fire shone …More
"Therefore the salvation of love did not originate in us, for we neither knew nor were able to love God for our salvation; rather, it came from our Creator and Lord,who loved his people so much that he sent his Son for our salvation, as leader and Saviour of the faithful, who washed all our wounds. Thus also he shed that sweet balm from which all the good things of our salvation flow. Therefore, O human creature, you too should know that God is not affected by any adverse mutability, for the Father is the Father, the Son is the Son, the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit;these three persons exist indivisibly in the unity of the godhead. How does this come about?"
Pope Leo XIV affirms informal blessing for homosexual couples and downplays sexual sin Prevost’s Evasive Response to the Apostate Marx’s Homosexual Pseudo-Blessings: No Sanctions. Malachi 2:2 I will send a curse on you, and I will turn your blessings into a curse. se. Prevost has not repudiated "the entirety" of the apostate and heretical pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans*. Rather, Tucho and Prevost seek to legitimize this by invoking an alleged transgression of the boundaries that the homosexual Tucho—acting in complicity with Bergoglio—had established; this maneuver, in its diabolical cunning, was skillfully contrived to soften the impact of the apostasy. But homosexual activists—beginning with Tucho, Bergoglio, Prevost, James Martin and the sacrilegious German apostates—have, in fact, given themselves permission to transgress biblical boundaries and Catholic moral doctrine. Consequently, the pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans* consummate a triple …More
It is simple math: "Tutu, tuti, tuti" + "We can hope Hell is empty" = Christ was only kidding. (What a scamp.) This club has fallen below protestant standards and is not even a shadow of the church founded by the Apostles.
Footnotes Hebrews 10:26 Once again the author repeats this somber warning (see Heb 6:1-8; Mt 12:31). Those who rebel against Christ exclude themselves from Christ’s forgiveness, from his life, and from his grace. Let them, therefore, meditate on the threats of God’s vengeance about which the Bible speaks, and especially the texts cited here (see Ex 24:8; Deut 17:6; 32:35f; Isa 26:11).
PresidentDonald Trump’s job approval among Catholicvoters rebounded in April despite his public feud with Pope Leo XIV intensifying this year. The shift challenges assumptions that Trump’s attacks on a sitting pope would alienate a key religious voting bloc. Catholics—long a pivotal swing constituency—appear more resistant to Vatican criticism than many Democratic and Republican strategists had anticipated. White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Newsweek in an emailed statement: “There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his record proves it. “President Trump ended the weaponization of the federal government against Christians, proudly defended and expanded our religious rights, pardoned pro-life activists, stopped the chemical mutilation of our nation’s children, and protected parents’ rights. The president will never waver in his support for Catholic Americans and will continue delivering unprecedented victories.” Continue …
enya’s Court of Appeal ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right and is only legal in limited situations, such as when the mother’s life or health is at risk or in emergencies. The court said Kenya’s constitution protects life from conception and generally prohibits abortion except for those narrow exceptions. The ruling reverses a 2022 High Court decision that had broadened abortion access and restores criminal proceedings against an abortion provider in a 2019 case involving complications after a teen’s abortion. Supporters of abortion rights criticized the decision and plan to appeal to the Supreme Court, while pro-life groups and many Christians in Kenya praised it as protecting unborn life. Kenya remains socially conservative on abortion despite limited legal exceptions.
BREAKING: Kenya's Court of Appeal rules that abortion violates the child's right to life and overturns the decision of a rogue judge who had tried to legalise abortion! This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.

"Do you renounce Satan? And all his works? And all his pomps?" R: "I do." When we, as Catholics, renew our baptismal promises or vows, we swear before God and renounce all attachment to sin—all the works of Satan and his seductions; that is to say, we renounce living deliberately in sin. Therefore, it is impossible to receive a blessing when we deliberately defy God and, sinning out of presumption, expect Him to grant us impunity to continue sinning. Hebrews 10:26 For if we go on sinning willfully after having come to the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. Jesus warned that we must not cast our pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot—a reference to the Sacraments—for these are not the private property of priests. The Church has declared that in the proper use of a sacramental—for example, the wearing of a scapular—one commits oneself to wearing it with dignity; that is, to not continue sinning, for such items are abused when one …More
