Melkite Catholic bishops decry Israelis' destruction in southern Lebanon - LifeSite

Wed May 6, 2026 - 7:22 pm EDT
(
LifeSiteNews) — The Council of Melkite Greek Catholic Bishops in Lebanon has voiced deep concern over Israeli military demolitions of civilian homes and religious buildings in areas of southern Lebanon under Israeli control.
In a statement reported by the Associated Press on Monday, the bishops urged the Lebanese government and the United Nations to intervene and protect the property of civilians and religious institutions. They described the destruction — carried out after residents obeyed Israeli evacuation orders — as “a deep wound in the national and human conscience.”
The bishops’ appeal centers on events in the village of Yaroun, where Israeli soldiers bulldozed a Melkite convent belonging to the Greek Catholic Basilian Salvatorian Sisters earlier this month.
The convent, which also supported local education through an associated school run by the Sisters of the Holy Savior, had been evacuated at the outset of intensified fighting. Its two resident …

French Bishop Removes Three Conservative Priests After Parish Disputes

The Diocese of Amiens, northern France, has announced that it will not renew the mission of three conservative priests from the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon after months of “growing tensions” within the parishes.
Fathers François-Régis Favre, Éloi Legrand, and Pierre-Marie Brochery, began serving in the parishes of Albert, Bray-sur-Somme, Mailly-Maillet, and Acheux in September 2025. They will depart at the end of the current pastoral year.
In a statement released on April 27, Bishop Gérard Le Stang said the decision followed “a long period of reflection” and consultations with diocesan clergy and parishioners. He described the situation as having created a “deep and lasting disruption” within the communities.
Cassocks, Novus Ordo in Latin
The priests drew criticism from some parishioners for wearing cassocks, celebrating the Novus Ordo partly in Latin, and emphasizing moral teaching.
Complaints also emerged regarding what some described as divisive preaching.
One deacon reportedly …More

Der ehemalige Marineminister Pat Phelan, den Pete Hegseth letzte Woche entlassen hatte, traf am Samstagmorgen auf dem Marinestützpunkt Guantanamo Bay ein —nicht als Gast, sondern als “feindlicher” Häftling, dem Hochverrat und Anstiftung zum Aufstand vorgeworfen wurden, wie Real Raw News erfuhr.
Wie bereits berichtet„ Phelan wurde freigelassen, nachdem Präsident Donald J. Trump und Kriegsminister Pete Hegseth Phelans Pläne entdeckt hatten, Flaggoffiziere und Kongressabgeordnete dazu zu bewegen, die amerikanische Intervention im Iran anzuprangern und Feldkommandeure dazu zu bewegen, Trumps Kriegsbefehlen nicht zu gehorchen.

What Can Rome Offer?

What Can Rome Offer?

A recent report from veteran Vatican journalist Nico Spuntoni (mentioned in English at Diane Montagna’s Substack) mentions that Rome:
“… is concerned about the pastoral care of the persons (i.e. clergy) connected to the Society who do not intend to remain in it after a further break with Rome.”
This should come as no surprise, as the Church has historically tried to limit the fallout of excommunications and schisms. Yet this presents an interesting question: what can Rome offer in terms of “pastoral” care to priests affiliated with the Society?
I know there are some of my brethren who think Rome’s response will be quite limited, but I think that is a risky proposition. In the eyes of Rome, the Society will now have had two generations of episcopal lineage consecrated in opposition to Rome. The 1988 consecrations did not necessarily (and did not in the end) create a parallel hierarchy. The act of illicitly consecrated bishops consecrating their successors illicitly effectively creates …

Synod Proposes Consulting Non-Believers and Ex-Catholics in Bishop Selection

Synod.va published on May 5 the final report of Study Group number 7 on the selection of bishops: “In the selection of a bishop, it is necessary to consider, among other qualities, his ‘synodal competencies’.” (page 3)
At least, the document also mentions Catholic criteria: “Among the qualities sought in a bishop are moral integrity, doctrinal orthodoxy, pastoral sensitivity, leadership ability, and the capacity to administer the Church’s goods.” (page 3)
The main idea of the report is expanding lay influence in bishop selection: “The cathedral chapter… finance council… lay council… youth and the poor should also be convened.” (page 4)
The report proposes that, when a diocese is vacant, a committee be established to work with the Apostolic Nuncio, consisting of priests, consecrated religious, and laypersons. (page 5)
Informants should include women, youth, academics, ecclesial movement members, the poor, marginalized persons, and representatives of Indigenous or minority communities. …More

Church in Mozambique Destroyed in Islamist Attack

Islamists attacked the parish of St. Louis de Montfort in Meza, Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique, on April 30.
According to Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), militants entered the parish in the afternoon and destroyed the church, parish offices, missionaries’ residence, and kindergarten.
Buildings were set on fire and the historic church was reduced to rubble.
The parish was founded in 1946 and was one of the main Catholic landmarks in the region.
Bishop António Juliasse of Pemba said civilians were captured and forced to listen to speeches during the attack. The Cameroonian missionaries serving the parish were not present when the attackers arrived and were unharmed.
There were no confirmed deaths during the April 30 attack.
The insurgency in Cabo Delgado has continued since 2017 and has caused thousands of deaths and displaced more than one million people. Church officials say at least 118 churches and chapels have been destroyed during the conflict.

Living Off the Grid: The Complete Guide to Energy, Water, Food, and Independence - Ask a Prepper

The power grid goes down more often than the people who run it want to admit. Extreme weather events, infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, and supply chain disruptions have all demonstrated in recent years that the utilities most Americans depend on for heat, light, water, and communication are less reliable than advertised. The households that felt those outages least were the ones that had already reduced or eliminated their dependence on public infrastructure.
Living off the grid is not a fringe movement or a lifestyle aesthetic. It is a practical approach to self-reliance that addresses one of the most fundamental vulnerabilities in modern life: the assumption that the systems you depend on will always work. This guide covers everything involved in building a genuine off-grid setup, from power generation and water supply to food production, waste management, and the legal considerations that most people overlook until they are already committed.

Vatican Report: "Sin… Does Not Consist in the Homosexuals’ Relationship…"

Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality.
The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6).
Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8)
The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements.
It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9)
The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …More

Has The Vatican’s Synod Office Become Fr. James Martin’s PR Arm?

On Tuesday, the Vatican published the Final Report of the Synod on Synodality’s study group on “controversial doctrinal, pastoral and ethical questions,” prominently featuring two anonymous testimonies from openly homosexual men in “same-sex marriages.”
The decision was immediately
praised by Fr. James Martin, SJ, as “a significant step forward in the Church’s relationship with the LGBTQ community.”
Published by the General Secretariat of the Synod, the final report was prepared by Study Group No. 9, part of a broader set of ten study groups established by Pope Francis in February 2024 to examine issues that emerged during the first session of the Synod on Synodality, held at the Vatican in October 2023.
Study Group No. 9 was tasked with examining “theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of controversial doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues” — though the group notably chose midway through its work to reframe such issues as “emerging” rather than …

Gay activist & Apostate James Martin: “As far as I know, it’s the first time that in any official publication of the Vatican, they’ve included witnesses and testimonies and stories from LGBTQ Catholics in any kind of detailed way.” “ It’s a big deal because they included testimonies and published testimonies from two LGBTQ people, both of them married, which is also unusual for the Vatican to do”

Vatican Synodal Reports Assaults Holy Scripture – Bishop Strickland: The report by the Vatican's synodal group on homosexuality “is deeply alarming and stands in direct contradiction to the constant teaching of the Catholic Church”, writes Bishop Joseph Strickland: “To suggest that the sin does not consist in the same-sex relationship itself is not merely confusing language. It is a direct assault upon Catholic moral doctrine and upon the words of Scripture itself.” Monsignor Strickland adds that this atmosphere of doctrinal instability is part of the reason why the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X argues that extraordinary measures are necessary in our time.

Bishop Strickland responding to Synod Group 9's report

If someone were to publicly spread the idea that the government of nations should be handed over to high schoolers, he would be considered crazy or put in jail. The reason is obvious: Teenagers are still in an early learning stage of life and need to reach maturity of judgment before they are able to govern themselves and others. A nation governed by teenagers would be doomed to failure.
For an analogous reason, in civilized nations the legal decisions made by minors are not accountable before the law. It is the father or guardian of a minor who is responsible for his conduct.
Habitually the law of nations considers that the age of majority – when a youth can be held responsible for himself – is 18 years old. Before this age the youth should be learning from others how to think …

New Report Suggests the Synod Still Cannot Speak Clearly on Homosexuality

Platforming active dissent from Church teaching on homosexuality while also giving a hat-tip to that same teaching, the latest advisory document from the synod is a textbook case in the style of the entire affair.
On May 5, the
final report of Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality was published. Led by Peruvian Cardinal Carlos Gustavo Castillo Mattasoglio, the group is one of 10 established at the direct command of Pope Francis.
It is the latest study group report to emerge from the synod and it demonstrates why so many notable prelates raised concerns about the event, given that it makes a token nod to Church teaching on homosexuality while simultaneously undermining it somewhat by the nature of the views the report platforms and promotes.

'Regardless of the report, the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”

Synod report suggests homosexual 'relationships' may not be sinful - LifeSite

(
LifeSiteNews) — A report from the Vatican’s General Secretariat of the Synod published Tuesday suggests a reframing of homosexuality, endorsing testimony without qualification that “sin, at its root, does not consist in the (same-sex) couple relationship” but in “a lack of faith in a God who desires our fulfilment.”
The Vatican-commissioned Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality published its Final Report May 5, “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues.” Under the heading, “Taking a synodal approach to discernment: A proposal for implementation in local Churches,” the 32-page document relies on the testimonies of the “lived experience” of two individuals with same-sex attraction to “aid the promotion of pastoral discernment.”
