“We are working in our own small way, with our limited manpower, to bring about an Imperfect General Council that will publicly recognise the present Catholic disaster that has no way out but through,” said Father Michael Mary, head of the Congregation of the Transalpine Redemptorists, in an interview with ThePress.co.nz on 10 April. The group was expelled from the Christchurch Diocese in New Zealand in July 2024 following allegations, primarily concerning unauthorised exorcism practices. The priests denied any wrongdoing. In October 2025, the community repudiated “false shepherds” and recent papal documents without explicitly declaring the papal office vacant. Their proposed “council” would consist of bishops acting without papal authority, though no names have been given: “There are Catholics all over the world left in ‘Catholic bunkers’ who know what is going on. It is a matter of reaching out to them.” Toward Electing a "Pope"? To justify the idea, Father Michael Mary invokes …More
Let me guess. That Hindus are on a loving, trusting flight towards God, and that Muslims prize the moral life and give worship to God through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. How did I do? I went right to the documents of Vatican II.
Leo XIV's current visit to Algeria is (also) personal. In 2004, Father Prevost participated in a pilgrimage to mark the 1650th anniversary of Saint Augustine’s birth, reports IlGiornale.it on 13 April. Due to security concerns, the group had been heavily escorted by police and had been restricted to a brief visit to Annaba (ancient Hippo). No broader travel inside Algeria was considered safe at the time. They were strongly advised not to spend the night in Algeria, which is why they returned to Tunisia the same day. Fr Prevost was dressed entirely in civilian clothes, as usual. Returning now as Pope, he revisits those same places. Picture: Conversation Nico Spuntoni, #newsJsaejrgunk
"But from that very hour in which, with God's help, he can overcome his selfhood—that is to say when he is so detached from himself that he is able to leave in the keeping of God everything of which he has need—behold, through doing this he is so well pleasing to God that God bestows upon him His grace. And, through grace, he feels true love: and love casts out doubt and fear, and fills the man with hope and trust, and thus he becomes a faithful servant, and means and loves God in all that he does. Behold, this is the difference between the faithful servant and the hireling.”
[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] “Chapter VI ~ OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HIRELINGS AND THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF GOD NOW you may mark this: that some men receive the gifts of God as hirelings, but others as faithful servants of God; and these differ one from another in all inward works, that is, in love and intention, in feeling and in every exercise of the inward life. Now understand this well: all those who love themselves so inordinately that they will not serve God, save for their own profit and because of their own reward, these separate themselves from God, and dwell in bondage and in their own selfhood; for they seek, and aim at, their own, in all that they do. And therefore, with all their prayers and with all their good works, they seek after temporal things, or may be strive after eternal things for their own benefit and for their own profit.…More

The Ontario's government announced yesterday that it intends to pass legislation called, Putting Student Achievement First Act. This is to make changes to public and separate education. The government claims it's to improve school board governance, student learning and teacher training. The Doug Ford government has taken over the governance of eight school boards. It was done over the concern of financial mismanagement, growing deficits, and depleted reserves.

InfoVaticana.com published the testimony of one of two alleged victims of homosexual abuse by the Peruvian Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa of Huacho. Last week, he stepped down as Secretary General of the Peruvian Bishops’ Conference after two accusers came forward. Bishop Santarsiero denies any wrongdoing. He was an institutional colleague of Bishop Robert Prevost of Chiclayo (2014-2023). Santarsiero, Bishop of Huacho since 2004, moved in the same circles, and both held leadership roles in the Peruvian Episcopal Conference. Santarsiero was president of the Economic Council (2020–2022) and Prevost a second vice president of the Peruvian bishops. The testimony of the anonymous seminarian includes graphic and traumatising details. "When I was 15, I went to a minor seminary in December 2010. My older brother [name], had gone there before me. He invited me to go. My experience there was positive, and I attended my senior year of high school in [city] in 2011. When my brother left the seminary …More
Valentina Gomez: «First, you give them a prayer room inside the Vatican. Second, you visit a mosque instead of the Christians in Nigeria that are being slaughtered by muslims. muslims call for the murder of Christians, Jews, & the rest of the infidels. Resign as pope, & go become an imam then.» Apostasy from the Faith is defined as “the complete and voluntary abandonment of the Christian religion, whether the apostate embraces another religion such as Paganism, Judaism, Mohammedanism, etc., or merely makes profession of Naturalism, Rationalism, etc.” (Catholic Encyclopedia,s.v. “Apostasy”). Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. Apostate Robert Prevost: "All Religions Are Mothers. All Believers are Brothers" Prevost stated that “our task is not to build a Christendom,” which is directly contrary to the “Great Commission” entrusted to the Apostles by Christ before his Ascension.

Saint Alphonsus Liguori Christians have the right to confide in God, contrary to the followers of Mohammed A priest of the Society of Jesus, who during life devoted a great deal of time to the conversion of sinners, died with joy and confidence of salvation; this some considered to be excessive. Hence he was told that at death we should entertain sentiments of fear as well as of confidence. He answered: Have I served Mahomet? I have served a God who is so grateful and faithful; why, then, should I fear? (Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Dignity and duties of the priest: or, Selva, pg. 172)

The latest outburst from Donald J. Trump is a direct and unusually aggressive attack on Pope Leo XIV. Trump wrote on social media that Leo XIV is “weak on crime” and “a disaster in foreign policy”. “He talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart.” Trump does “not want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers and drug dealers into our Country.” “And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE …More
