Bishop Bätzing Stands by Homosex "Blessing Ceremonies"

Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, Germany, told KNA that his diocese continues to offer "blessings" for homosexual couples: "Pastoral workers are encouraged to responsibly respond to this desire and organize blessing ceremonies with the couples."
As he put it: "Even though there are differing views on this within the global church, I see this practice in the diocese of Limburg as being within a responsible framework."
Those blessings "serve people and do not endanger the unity of the Church," said Bishop Bätzing.
Until a few weeks ago, he served as chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference.

Saint Paul teaches in Romans 1:32 that those who support sodomy are, themselves, sodomites.
Only a sodomite who rebels against God can commit the sacrilege of imparting a "sacrilegious blessing" to concubines who cohabit and practice the sin of sodomy—a sin that God abhors and forbids. A traitorous and apostate priest who rebels against God is a servant of Satan. He is a Satanist.

Prevost attempts to normalize Bergoglio's *Fiducia Supplicans*, which promotes the sacrilegious blessing of the sin of sodomy.

The entirety of the pro-homosexual pamphlet *Fiducia Supplicans*—which permits sacrilegious blessings of unrepentant homosexual concubines—is heretical, sacrilegious, and diabolical, just as Cardinal Müller warned.

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

Homosexual concubines participate in a shared and eternal spiritual suicide. They are active participants in their mutual condemnation.

'Likewise, Sodom, Gomorrah and the surrounding towns, indulged in fornication and practiced unnatural vice, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.'

Let us also recall that Bergoglio, in defending the sacrilegious blessing of homosexual concubines, stated that "they loved one another". This is not—as Prevost attempts to make us believe—merely a blessing of individuals (who, in fact, do not present themselves individually, but rather as homosexual couples); rather, it is a malicious act that confirms these concubines in their sinful homosexual relationship.

People have fallen into unbelief because they have completely lost the spirit of prayer

People have fallen into unbelief because they have completely lost the spirit of prayer, or never had it at all—in short, because they do not pray.
The prince of this century [the devil] has free rein in the hearts of such people; he is their master. Because they do not pray, they do not ask the Lord for the dew of His Grace (for only those who seek receive the gifts of the Lord).
Consequently, their hearts, corrupted by nature and lacking the nourishing dew of the Holy Spirit, have dried up. From this extreme dryness, they are finally set ablaze by the hellish flame of unbelief and various passions.
The devil then knows how to ignite the passions that sustain this terrible fire, triumphing at the sight of the perishing souls—souls redeemed by the blood of Him who purified them.

Over 8 in 10 Want French Government to Cut Fuel Taxes – Allah's Willing Executioners

The French public is overwhelmingly in favour of the government cutting fuel taxes amid the growing energy crisis across Europe, a survey has found.
A CSA poll
conducted on behalf of broadcasters CNews, Europe 1 and Le Journal du Dimanche found that 82 per cent of French voters support reducing taxes on fuel to lower pump prices for consumers.
Perhaps reflecting the particularities of the French political landscape, voters on the left were more likely to favour a reduction in the fuel tax than those on the right, by a margin of 80 per cent to 66 per cent.
However, supporters of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party, which advocates for strict immigration in conjunction with strong state intervention in the economy, were the most likely to back a fuel tax cut at 93 per cent.
National Rally President Jordan Bardella — who would serve as the party’s presidential candidate next year should the ban on Le Pen be upheld — came out this week in favour of reducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) on …

WHITE SMOKE 1958 -16- THE IMPORTANT THING

As I said at the beginning, and as we have just seen, it is certain that a Pope was elected on 26 October 1958, and that this Pope accepted and took a name, with the white smoke coming only afterwards. Whether the elected Pope was Cardinal Siri or someone else is of little importance: the important thing is that there was a Pope! This obviously has consequences. First of all, we must examine what may have happened inside the conclave, which is unknown to us, but we can presume it with almost certainty.

Saint Fidèle de Sigmaringen, Capucin, Martyr
Fidèle, né à Sigmaringen, ville de Souabe, de l’honnête famille des Rey, se distingua dès l’enfance par les dons singuliers de la nature et de la grâce dont il était orné. Doué du meilleur naturel et formé au bien, grâce à une excellente éducation, il remporta les palmes au collège de Fribourg pendant ses cours de philosophie et de droit, en même temps qu’à l’école de Jésus-Christ il s’efforçait d’atteindre au sommet de la perfection par la pratique assidue des vertus. Ayant été donné pour compagnon à plusieurs gentilshommes, qui visitaient différentes contrées de l’Europe, il ne cessa de les exciter à la piété chrétienne par ses paroles et ses actions.

Bishop Schneider praised this archbishop's speech against concelebration at Vatican II - LifeSite

(
LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
“The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote.
“The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …

Leo XIV: "I Condemn Capital Punishment"

On the return flight to Rome on April 23, Leo XIV took questions from selected journalists. Main quotes.
- We must promote a culture of peace. The issue is not whether there is regime change or not; the issue is how to promote the values we believe in without the death of so many innocent people.
- The situation in Iran is clearly very complex. Even the negotiations themselves—one day Iran says yes and the United States says no, and vice versa.
- I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during the visit to Lebanon, was waiting there with a sign saying “Welcome Pope Leo.” He has been killed in this final phase of the war.
- A state has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order.
- We must treat migrants humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens.

Go to your muslim friends and tell THEM 'we must promote a culture of peace'. Tell them to their faces - unambiguously ie tell them to stop murdering and hating Christians. Tell them that their populations in the Christian West need to respect OUR culture, OUR Christianity, OUR history - or leave. Preferably leave. Start preaching it regularly to the whole world without exception - and see what happens.

"The august Mary comprehended how important it was that St. Joseph should have to endure this affliction, by which his spirit was exercised and prepared for the great charge that was to be confided to him. He had now passed two months of suffering, and, overcome by his apprehensions, he exclaimed: ‘I find no remedy for my grief but absence. I acknowledge that my spouse is perfect, but it is not possible for me to penetrate the mystery of her condition, and I will not insult her virtue by subjecting her to the penalties-of the law. I will depart forthwith.” The saint resolved to set out during the night. He therefore prepared a small packet of clothing. Having received a trifling sum of money which was due to him for work, he determined to leave the house after midnight."

"And as he /Joseph/ preserved silence, not seeking consolation elsewhere, (as men usually do,) the sufferings of the saint were naturally more intense.
The heart of the gentle Mary was penetrated by a sorrow not less profound; but she resolved to redouble her cares for the health of her spouse. She continued to conceal the mystery which she had no command to disclose, in order to honor and to preserve the secret of the celestial King.

Establishment Parties Push Through Reform To Curb Surging AfD – Allah's Willing Executioners

Riposte Laique
Germany’s political establishment has pushed through a controversial parliamentary reform in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt in a thinly veiled attempt to curb the rising influence of the right-wing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party ahead of September’s state election.
The reform, approved with the required two-thirds majority, was backed by an alliance of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, the liberal FDP, and the far-left Die Linke. The AfD’s 22 MPs were the only ones to vote against it.
Supporters of the changes say they are needed to protect the functioning of democratic institutions, but the real aim is to weaken the AfD, which is currently leading in the polls by a large margin.
Surveys suggest the AfD could win around 40% of the vote in September, well ahead of the CDU on about 25%. Smaller parties like the FDP and Greens may not even enter parliament.
The reform introduces several key changes,…

Old Age: Decrepitude or Glory? Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier

Ambiences, Customs and Civilizations
Catolicismo, Campos (Rio de Janeiro), no. 23 – November 1952
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
How the modern world, caught up in sensuality, deceives itself when it sees only decadence in aging. When one knows how to esteem the spirit more highly than the body, growing old is to grow into what is most noble, the soul.
Although aging does entail bodily decadence, this is only the material element in the human person. The body may indeed lose its beauty and its vigor, but it may enrich itself with the translucence of a soul that knew how to develop and grow along the course of life. This translucence constitutes the highest beauty the human face may acquire.

Detroit Parish That Drew Crowds With Latin Mass Closed

A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21.
St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline.
This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics.
However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest.
Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years.
Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists.
This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …More

This homosexual, Marxist, and Masonic sect—which worships false gods—hates the Traditional Holy Mass, because said Mass was declared the Official Mass of the Church until the end of time. Conversely, the *Novus Ordo* Mass permits the changes that modernist heretics—infiltrated within the Second Vatican Council—introduced under the pretext of ecumenism; an ecumenism that promotes neither the conversion of Jews who reject their Messiah, nor that of idolatrous Muslims and followers of other false religions, but rather a Masonic fraternity in which polytheism is promoted. And a false peace with those who reject the Prince of Peace. A false UNITY wherein false gods are equated with the Most Holy Trinity (such as the false god Allah), and wherein Christ is not considered necessary as Redeemer. For this reason, no effort is made to ensure that idolaters convert, believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are baptized. The synodal sect promotes the notion that Christ is no longer necessary …More

"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.
