On 10 April, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Claudio Pablo Castricone as coadjutor bishop of the diocese of Orán in Argentina. Born on 16 April 1958 in Villa Constitución, he was ordained a priest in 1984. Monsignor Castricone has openly identified with Francis’s destructive programme for decades. The article's photograph shows him meeting Cardinal Bergoglio in Misiones, northern Argentina, in 2007. Diocese of Orán: Ruined by Homosexual Leadership The diocese of Orán is famous because it was led by the homosexual Gustavo Oscar Zanchetta, another close associate of Francis, from 2013 to 2017. In 2017, Francis accepted Zanchetta’s resignation for 'health reasons' and soon after appointed him to a Vatican financial role. It later emerged that priests had reported Zanchetta to Rome for possessing pornographic images of young men on his phone. He was also notorious for financial misconduct and abuse of authority. In 2022, he was convicted by an Argentine court of homosexually abusing two …More
Acts 2:42-47 “All who believed were together and had all things in common.” What these people already had in common was Jesus Christ. They recognized in God, joy, peace, and love, and that he is always present, represented by the resurrection. 1 Peter 1:3-9 “God, in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” The resurrection is the sign that God raises us up to himself. His love lifts us and propels us toward others to reveal to them the joy of God within them. John 20:19-31 “A week later, Jesus came.” Jesus appeared again to the Apostles. God's love entered Thomas’ heart, revealing his joy: "My Lord and my God!" Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

Gaglo served as a parish priest, diocesan consultor, and administrator of Aného before being appointed bishop of Aného in 2007. When he visited Geneva, Switzerland, in April 2019, on a pastoral trip to support Togolese priests working in the area, he was dressed in civilian clothes, wearing a light-colored turtleneck sweater with a light-colored blazer. Region Dominated by Vodun The Diocese of Aného is in southern Togo. About 40–60% of the population follows ancestral religious practices; a large share of these are connected to Vodun. In southern Togo, about 30–40% of the population are Catholics and …More
Cardinal Arinze: "the priest has a key role in the celebration of the Mass, but if he behaves badly, if he introduces into the Mass parts that are not approved, or eliminates parts that are approved, he harms the Church"

MODLITWA za OJCZYZNĘ : Boże, Stwórco wszystkiego co istnieje i Ojcze całej rodziny ludzkiej, Ty powołałeś Ojczyznę naszą, Polskę, do przekazania światu iskry Bożego Miłosierdzia, przygotowującej na powtórne przyjście Twojego Syna. Zmiłuj sie, Panie nad nami, bośmy nie okazali się godni Twego wybrania. Zbrodnie i zdrada, kłamstwo i niewierność, pycha, egoizm i lenistwo stały się naszym sztandarem. Tak wielu wśród nas zwiedzionych, pogubionych i poranionych. Przez Niepokalane Serce Maryi, Matki Twojego Syna, błagamy Cię, uchroń nas od słusznej kary za nasze grzechy. Wzywani przez Maryję wielokrotnie do Pokuty i Modlitwy w La Salette, Lourdes, Gietrzwałdzie, Fatimie, Akita upadamy, Panie, na kolana nasze i chwytamy za różaniec, zawierzając siebie samych i braci naszych. Boże i Panie nasz! Ty, który jesteś Sprawiedliwością ale i Miłosierdziem, błagamy Cię: Zmiłuj się nad nami. Tobie zawierzamy losy naszej Ojczyzny, jej teraźniejszość i przyszłość; każdą rodzinę, każdego człowieka, …More
Oh, the Liturgy is the very banner of the Catholic Faith. As Pius XI says (Divini Cultus, 1928, Denz. 2200): "the liturgy is an undoubtedly sacred thing; for, through it we are brought to God and are joined with Him; we bear witness to our faith, and we are obligated to it by a most serious duty because of the benefits and helps received, of which we are always in need. Hence a kind of intimate relationship between dogma and sacred liturgy, and likewise between Christian worship and the sanctification of the people. Therefore, Celestine I proposed and expressed a canon of faith in the venerated formulas of the Liturgy: "Let the law of supplication establish the law of believing. For when the leaders of holy peoples administer legislation enjoined upon themselves they plead the cause of the human race before divine Clemency, and they beg and pray while the entire Church sighs with them"
The abbot of Fontgombault, Dom Jean Pateau interprets the baptism of desire irrationally. In the 16th century France, they interpreted the baptism of desire rationally. So today the Athanasius Creed has visible exceptions of the baptism of desire for the abbot, but in 16th century France, at the TLM, there were no visible exceptions for the Athanasius Creed. The interpretation of the dogma EENS, has exceptions for the Aboot but this was not the problem at Mass over the centuries. So the Mass offered by the Abbot is not theologically the same as that in the 16th century for example. He can correct the error by simply interpretating Vatican Council II rationally and so traditionally and not like the French Conference of Bishops.
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Guy Boulanger as Archbishop of Sherbrooke, Canada. Biographical Outline Born in 1963 in Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology, and earned a doctorate in canon law in Ottawa. Ordained a priest in 1991 for the Archdiocese of Sherbrooke, he held numerous pastoral and administrative roles, including parish priest, rector of a shrine, and vicar general. Pope Francis appointed him Bishop of Rouyn-Noranda in 2020 and also Bishop of Amos in 2023. He governed both dioceses simultaneously. Francis-Aligned Bishop His public profile presents a Francis-aligned, loyla bishop: supportive of synodality, pastorally focused on the poor, and attentive to Indigenous groups. During the diocesan synod, he opened consultation broadly to the population, even beyond Catholics. He framed the Church as a space “where everyone can express themselves and contribute” In 2025, after the election of Leo XIV, Boulanger stated that the new …More
St. Thomas Cajetan, O.P. (1469-1534) Theologian and Cardinal He points out that the famous axiom “Ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia” (Where the Pope is, there is also the Church) holds true only when he acts and behaves as the Pope, because Peter “is subject to the duties of the Office” otherwise," neither is the Church in him, nor is he in the Church.”
The historic visit of JD Vance to Hungary (including to the Mathias Corvinus Collegium!) confirmed that hypocrisy is the native language of progressive elites. While the electoral campaign in Hungary has been an obscene and unprecedented festival of interference, the Euro-establishment chokes with indignation when the American Vice President comes to remind them that this election belongs to the Hungarians and to no one else. One must possess a truly steel-forged cynicism of the “anywhere” variety to express outrage when, after a month of campaigning, the only question the “somewhere” crowd is asking is whether they can still take part in free and fair elections in Europe. After the scandalous precedents of electoral interference in Georgia, Poland, and Romania, we had been warned. And yet, once again, the autocratic impulse of Brussels and Co. has descended upon Hungary with the premium zeal reserved for its nemesis: Viktor Orbán, whose scalp they want, dead or alive. To achieve …
Since 2019, the German-speaking 'Conference on the Liturgy' has been working on a new book of blessings Benedictionale. The Vatican signalled its openness to the project in 2023, with completion planned for 2029. In an interview with katholisch.de on 9 April, the project's chairman, Benedictine Father Johannes Feierabend, said that the blessing formulas are "no longer formulated with priests and deacons in mind". Instead, they speak more generally of 'leadership'. It is still unclear whether laypeople would conclude blessings of the congregation with “May the Lord bless you” or “May the Lord bless us”. The new Benedictionale also includes blessings for homosexual and 'loving' couples: “We believe there should be a formula for this as well,” said Fr. Feierabend. This was the “only point that immediately caught the eye” in the Vatican. Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier suggested that the Vatican should draft such a formula. However, the German-speaking working group wants to write …More
Ninth Day: Saturday within the Octave of Easter, Eve of Divine Mercy Sunday: Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM,* and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy.
The relief organization 'Catholic Charities of Central New Mexico' publicised information about homosexual events during Holy Week. One activity promoted a "Transgender Day of Visibility". On 7 April, LepantoIn.org reported that another advertisement included a homosexual event called 'Lavender Prom' that was sponsored by the abortion industry Planned Parenthood. These actions are not isolated. This affiliate of Catholic Charities has an ongoing record of engagement with homosexual initiatives, including public messaging, partnerships with local groups such as the 'Transgender Resource Center' of New Mexico, and involvement in Pride March events and transvestite shows. #newsEvcarsaovf
Planned Parenthood released a report over Easter weekend showing a record number of abortions between 2023-2024. The abortion giant’s service data is a year behind, with the 2024-2025 report showing the number of abortions the organization carried out between 2023 and 2024. According to the report, titled “Care Continues,” Planned Parenthood aborted 434,450 unborn babies in that time period. The pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) released an analysis of the report, showing an 8 percent increase from the previous year and a 34 percent increase since 2014. “Yet again, abortions performed by Planned Parenthood hit a record high, demonstrating that abortion remains a top priority for the organization,” CLI Senior Research Associate Tessa Cox said in a statement. The report shows that prenatal services, miscarriage care, and adoption referrals accounted for only 1.7 percent (7,685), 0.6 percent (2,852), and 0.7 percent (3,038) of the organization’s other services.
