Elbridge Colby, serving as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy under Donald Trump, reportedly summoned the then Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, to the Pentagon in January. This was reported by TheFp.com on April 6. The meeting followed a speech by Leo XIV to diplomats in which he warned against “the imperialist occupation of the world” and urged leaders to abandon the “desire to dominate others.” The Pentagon considered the speech as a bitter lecture against the USA. Colby and his colleagues told the Nuncio that the Catholic Church had better take its side. One U.S. official went so far as to mention the Avignon Papacy (1309–1377), when the popes were under strong influence from the French crown. Cardinal Pierre sat through the lecture in silence. #newsYbhsfkutcq
Prevost and Tucho remain silent regarding the accusation of homosexual abuse against the Bishop-Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference, Antonio Santarsiero Rosa. Prevost—as a "cardinal"—was informed of this accusation in 2024, and subsequently in 2025, when he was already usurping the papacy. The General Secretary of the Peruvian Episcopal …
A formal complaint of homosexual abuse against Italian-born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 74, has been hand-delivered to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima on March 31, reports InfoVaticana.com. The dossier was simultaneously sent to pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Bishop Santarsiero is the Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference and Bishop of Huacho. The accusation is systematic homosexual abuse and psychological mistreatment of individuals under his authority. Vulnerable Minor from Poor Rural Background The main complaint comes from an anonymous young layman called “D.” He is now around thirty years old, originally from a rural area in northeastern Peru and from a humble, large family. His testimony claims that the abuse began at the Catholic high school of the Diocese of Huacho and continued for several years. According to the complaint, the alleged acts include forced hugs, genital touching, and pressure …More
Bishop Hervé Giraud of Viviers, France, has ordered the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND), a Novus-Ordo community, to stop accepting new members and to suspend all religious vows, following a recent court ruling involving the community’s former superior, Fr Bernard Domini. The decision, announced on 30 March, follows a French court sentencing the former leader for “abuse of weakness”. However, the community’s lawyer described the ruling as 'close to an acquittal'. Both sides have appealed the verdict, meaning the case is not final. The bishop presented the measure as a precautionary step, but it has drawn strong criticism. Some families argue that it disregards the presumption of innocence and disrupts long-standing vocations. Parents have accused the bishop of “abuse of power” and of “destroying the religious lives” of their children by preventing them from making commitments that had been prepared for over many years. Bishop Giraud has since said [=words], he is willing …More

There is something terribly wrong with that kind of people. Terribly terribly wrong. For 2000 years already. And that, my friends, is a very long time. Go figure it.
Receiving communion in the hand was the common practice of the Church in both East and West for the first 800 years of Christianity, and it was certainly considered reverent by the Fathers.
The Article presents very impressive and notable persons who detail the proper method of receiving communion in the hand, which was modeled after the Hebrew Passover Sedar, where not only the Rabbi , but all in attendance were required to strictly hash the hands several times in prayer before participation in the Sedar. The people quoted refer to making a proper throne for the Lord when receiving the Eucharist. It is only a guess, But it's my guess that later on in time, the Roman Slobs came in from the fields without a proper hand wash to receive the communion. This floored the priest and considered it Heresy to place something so Holy into such filthy abode, certainly it was desecration. I'm sure those priests refused to do so and told them to open up your mouth and let me place this on your tongue. Now today, the hand receiving is back. I'm in total agreement with it providing: The hands impeccably clean, and the proper prayers have been said over them to prevent desecration. In …More
It may have been reverent and accepted in the early church, but the usurpers brought it back not for historical significance as they pretend but to denigrate the priesthood. The same with bringing up "the gifts". Take away the sacred and mysterious and dumb it down. reduce the priest to presider and shift all focus to the idiots in the pews and away from God. We also had Ember days and Rogation days in the "early church". Why not bring those back?
One of the most shocking forced beatifications of the Francis pontificate was that of Bishop Angelelli, a terrorist-supporting Bishop from Argentina, who died in an automobile accident, but was deemed a martyr. He was so liberal, so cruel against orthodox Catholics, and so against any orthodox causes in his lifetime, that serious Catholics in Argentina mocked him by calling him "Satanelli" during his own lifetime. Another extreme liberal bishop, Jorge Novak, of Quilmes, was also placed by Francis on a fast track to beatification and canonization. Thankfully, with the new pontificate, the fast tracking is being reexamined, and, in Novak's case, at least one serious impediment has been found: his lax conduct regarding the case of at least one abusive priest under his care. The announcement of the Vatican derailment of the cause was made public yesterday by the local diocese: Communiqué on the Cessation of the Canonical Cause for the Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God …
Kneel like Romans or Stand like the Ancients? Early Christians generally did not kneel while taking Holy Communion; they stood to receive it, viewing it as a joyous, resurrection-themed act. Kneeling was primarily associated with penance or solemn prayer, not communion, with the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) forbidding kneeling on Sundays. The shift to kneeling at Communion began much later, around the 12th century. Standing is Ancient: The earliest practice, especially in the East, was to receive communion standing and often in the hand. Kneeling as Penance: Early Christians often stood during liturgy. Kneeling was largely used for prayers of repentance, not as a standard posture for receiving the Eucharist. 12th-Century Shift: Kneeling for Communion became more common in the West in the 12th century, introduced alongside the adoration of the Host during the Elevation Prohibition on Sundays: The early Church, including the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325), encouraged standing on Sundays …More
By their fruits, every knee shall bend at his name never mind his true presence Actually bowing touching your head to the floor even though private revelation the Angel of Portugal taught the children Fatima prayer On one occasion, the three children saw the angel prostrate himself before a host and chalice that hung in the air. Worshiping the Eucharist, the angel prayed: Most Holy Trinity—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
The Heralds of the Gospel announced on April 5 in São Paulo that priestly ordinations will resume in April 2026, following a suspension in place since 2019. 31 acolytes will be ordained as deacons on April 11 and 26 deacons to the priesthood on April 12. The ordinations concern members of the clerical society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli, which is associated with the Heralds of the Gospel. The diaconal ordinations will be conferred by Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães, archbishop emeritus of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil. The priestly ordinations will be presided over by Raymundo Damasceno Assis, archbishop emeritus of Aparecida and Pontifical Commissioner. Ordinations within the Heralds had been suspended following a Vatican intervention that began in 2017 and was reinforced in 2019 with the appointment of a Pontifical Commissioner. During this period, candidates for ordination remained in a state of waiting, and no formal public accusations or clear timeline for resolution …More
The Heralds were right to choose Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães and Raymundo Damasceno Assis, since they were not elevated as archbishops by the false Pope Francis nor the current one; otherwise, the ordinations would be invalid.
Did Trump Just Threaten to Nuke Iran Tonight? /Lt Col Daniel Davis I think someone who called him Nero is much closer. Low on everything. 15 Tomahawk missiles left, so what is he thinking? What will he use to destroy a whole civilization? I would love to see him removed, but it's GOD'S Will that he will be our punishment. Did Trump Just Threaten to Nuke Iran Tonight? /Lt Col Daniel Davis
Few people know that for years before he became pope, Robert Prevost met most Saturdays with Francis inside the Casa Santa Marta. And in the final weeks of his life, from a hospital bed at Gemelli, Francis elevated him to the highest rank of cardinal — the act that placed him at the center of the conclave that would soon elect him pope.

Make A One-Time Gift to Support My Work Pope Leo XIV teared up this morning. Standing at the Apostolic window at the Vatican on Easter Monday, the American pope paused mid-sentence as he tried to describe the man who had summoned him from a small diocese on Peru’s northern coast and, in the final weeks of his life, made him one of the few cardinal bishops in the Catholic Church. The man he was mourning was Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday last year — April 21, 2025 — after twelve years of upending the Church and infuriating the powerful. The official anniversary of his death falls in just over two weeks, but Leo will not be in Rome to mark it. He will be in Africa, on the second major papal voyage of his young pontificate, carrying the Gospel to a continent Francis loved and visited often. So this morning’s tribute …
04/07/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Monday, April 6, 2026. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it had attacked the landing ship “Tripoli,” which can carry up to 2,500 marines, with missiles. There is no information available regarding possible damage to the ship. Following the attack, the ship retreated southward and moved away from the Iranian coast. One could say that it employed the “Abraham Lincoln” strategy. The next U.S. warship, built as a deterrent, is turning its propeller and hastily leaving the conflict zone. The proponents of the American defense shield have fallen silent. As the myth of U.S. invincibility crumbles and the previous strategy—hiring U.S. military units to secure borders against an imaginary enemy—even the greatest statesmen of the caliber of Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz, or Keir Starmer—who have always been pathetic puppets of the globalists—distance themselves, at the behest of Davos, from the pathetic policies of the pro-Zionist …
