Early Resignation of Moscow Archbishop Paolo Pezzi

Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure.
InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post."
Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese.
Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007.
In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states.
Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity of the Missionaries of St. Charles …More

The Quiet Catastrophe in American Childhood

For decades, American culture has told competing stories about divorce. One story says unhappy marriages poison children, so dissolution frees everyone to flourish. A second story says divorce harms children by fracturing the stability they need to grow. A third insists that genes and temperament dwarf family structure, making divorce a minor player in a child’s life. A new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, Divorce, Family Arrangements, and Children’s Adult Outcomes, by economists Andrew C. Johnston, Maggie R. Jones, and Nolan G. Pope, settles much of the argument with data earlier researchers could only dream of.
The authors linked federal tax records with Census Bureau data to track more than five million American children born between 1988 and 1993. They followed these children into adulthood and watched what happened when their parents separated. The findings are sobering, and they deserve a wider hearing than a technical paper typically receives.

12 Ways to Overcome a Scrupulous Conscience

DIFFICULT MORAL QUESTIONS: The good news is that scrupulosity is not incompatible with holiness. More good news is that the malady can be overcome. Here are 12 points of advice for doing so.
Most of us have experienced scruples in our spiritual life and some of us have found them spiritually crippling. St. Ignatius of Loyola
defines scruple as “when I freely decide that that is sin which is not sin.” The scrupulous conscience sees sin where there is none.
We should distinguish this from a sensitive or tender conscience. A tender conscience is a true conscience. It is sensitive to occasions of venial sin. For example, it avoids ever speaking contrary to what one believes to be true, even in small matters, so-called “white lies.” It avoids watching television shows that disrespect the Lord, his commandments or the Church, because one doesn’t want the images and blasphemies in one’s mind. It refrains from negativity, especially when speaking about others who are not present.
A scrupulous …

Outside of Leo’s consistories – in January and upcoming in June – the October meeting will be the first such between a pope and only prelates for many years. The Synod on Synodality’s setup saw the participation of lay people as voting members, and at the time looked likely to be the format used in the future under Pope Francis.

Synod office to provide ‘organizational support’ for Vatican's Amoris Laetitia meeting
While the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life is responsible for organizing the event, the General Secretariat of the Synod will wield strong influence in directing its trajectory.
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — The meeting of bishops convened by Pope Leo XIV to discuss Amoris Laetitia will take place from October 7 to 14, as early details begin to emerge.
Now with dates confirmed for the week-long meeting, the presidents of national bishops’ conferences will begin to plan their attendance for October’s meeting, after Leo announced it in March.

Leo XIV Appoints Smuggled Illegal Immigrant as U.S. Bishop

Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump.
Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, currently auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington, is the new bishop of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia. He is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk.
Furthermore, Leo XIV elevated the prelates Gary Studniewski, 68, and Robert Boxie, 45, as new auxiliary bishops for Washington Archdiocese.
Cardinal McElroy of Washington is one of the strongest pro-homosexual infiltrators. He publicly defended Fiducia Supplicans and said U.S. opposition focused on homosexual blessings reflected “enduring animus” toward homosexuals.
His Archdiocese of Washington spans Washington, D.C., and surrounding Maryland communities, placing its bishops in regular contact with policymakers, diplomats and national media.
With Menjivar, Boxie and Studniewski, Leo XIV has again reinforced a leadership group …More

Iraqi father arrested in Sweden for beating and imprisoning daughter in Italy over forced marriage plot – Allah's Willing Executioners

Medforth AI
An Iraqi father accused of beating, imprisoning, and threatening to kill his daughter after she refused an arranged marriage has been arrested in Sweden on a European warrant issued by Italian authorities.
The 52-year-old man was tracked down by Taranto State Police after the authorities in southern Italy opened an investigation into domestic abuse and forced marriage following a complaint from the young woman last November.
As reported by
Il Giornale, prosecutors say the victim told officers her father had demanded she marry a Kurdish man selected by him and had threatened her with death if she resisted or tried to flee abroad.
The woman had traveled from Iraq to join her family in Taranto, but investigators say she soon found herself trapped in what police described as a family campaign to force her into submission.
According to the allegations, her relatives sided with her father because they believed she wanted to live in a way that was too “Western” and incompatible …

Acts 6:1-7
"The apostles chose seven men filled with the Spirit."
The more people there are to proclaim the joy of being children of God, the more joy will spread to every heart.
1 Peter 2:4-9
"You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood."
This kingship is the kingship of God. Jesus Christ is the King, and his Kingdom is the Love of God. Let us discover the joy of the child within us and welcome God's Love into the Kingdom.
John 14:1-12
Thomas said to Jesus, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"
Eternal life is found in the Heart of Christ, in the Heart of God. God's Love is eternal life, and his Love is present right now. Let us fully embrace God's love.

Becciu's lawyers accuse the Promoter of Justice of failing to comply with court orders

Becciu's lawyers accuse the Promoter of Justice of failing to comply with court orders

The lawyers of Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu have denounced a “serious breach” by the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican for not fully delivering the documentation of the London property case, despite the express order of the Court of Appeal on March 17, in a statement sent directly to the French media Tribune Chrétienne.

The defense argues that the prosecution has omitted documents alleging their supposed irrelevance, which would constitute a direct violation of the right to defense and the principle of equality between the parties. According to lawyers Fabio Viglione and Maria Concetta Marzo, “nothing can be examined by the judge that has not been previously made available to the parties,” so any filtering of evidence compromises the validity of the process.
The complaint comes after the Court of Appeal of the State of the Vatican City decreed the total nullity of the trial and …

Report: Vatican Preparing for Aftermath of SSPX Consecrations
Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith reportedly “concerned about pastoral care” of clergy leaving SSPX after July 1 episcopal consecrations.
VATICAN CITY, 29 April 2026 — Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández has prepared a declaration of schism should the Society of St. Pius X proceed with episcopal consecrations in Écône on July 1. The Vatican is also making pastoral arrangements to welcome those who may leave the SSPX after it ordains new bishops without papal permission.
This is according to reports by Italian journalist Nico Spuntoni. His comments come amid online rumors about who precisely will be subject to the decree prepared by the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
“Informed sources on the matter have confirmed to me that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is already prepared for a scenario of schism following the likely new consecrations,” Spuntoni confirmed to me recently.

I'm so glad Cardinal Porn is going to declare the Vatican in schism with the Catholic Faith. Jonah began his journey into the city, walking for an entire day. Then he proclaimed, “After forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown.” The people of Nineveh believed this message from God. They proclaimed a fast, and everyone, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. -- Jonah 3:4-5

Prevost’s seminary classmate: The Synodal church is 'diabolical'

News
Sarah Mullally, a heretical rainbow activist, pro-abortion, desecrates St. Peter's Basilica.
Deacon Nick Donnelly:
First they desecrate St. Peter’s with a protestantized Mass, then they desecrate it with Pachamama, a gay pride march and now they desecrate St.Peter’s with a woman pretending to be the Archbishop of a schismatic Protestant group that persecuted Catholics for hundreds of years
The Church teaches that heretics cannot validly administer even sacramentals, such as blessings, consecrations, and exorcisms
Luke 13:24
“Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will try to enter but will not succeed in doing so.
Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.

Cardinal DiNardo, of Galveston-Houston, was born in 1949. He retired and was replaced by his coadjutor, named by Francis, in 2025.
Cardinal Dolan, of New York, was born in 1950. He was replaced by Leo XIV very shortly after turning 75, in 2025.
There is one Cardinal who is older than both of them, and who is still in charge. And not just any cardinal: a horrible administrator, a lousy shepherd, and an ideological nightmare, who, though a native of Nebraska, has been the Archbishop of the pope's own birthplace: Chicago. A formerly exemplary American Catholic town, whose diocese is falling apart.

A formerly exemplary American Catholic town, whose diocese is falling apart.
One would think this useless bishop of nefarious influence would have been retired immediately. But Francis knew his presence irked his imagined "enemies" in America, so he kept him. With Leo XIV, it's different. He knows he's lousy. He is aware. Why has he kept him?... Our contributor Serre Verweij tries to understand it.

Entire blog as a free PDF eBook.
A title like that fits practically any topic that might come to mind. The carbon tax, the fight against the economic decline caused by the authorities’ “rescue measures” in the area of migration, global warming, which is currently heading in a direction that threatens the planet with apocalyptic cold waves. One could go on and on with this list. This whole circus boils down to one thing: governments are serving us, on a silver platter, a solution to problems that would never have arisen in the first place without the active involvement of these very governments. It’s as simple as building a flail.
A flail is an agricultural hand tool used for threshing, the process of separating grains from their husks. It can also be used for military purposes being made in the same way as a threshing-flail but much stronger and furnished with iron spikes.

Time To Take Stock – Allah's Willing Executioners

Exactly fifty years ago, France introduced the principle of family reunification for immigrants who had come to work in France. Over the years, the measure has taken on symbolic significance as a sign of an out-of-control migration policy, making it highly unpopular today. But which politician will dare, in the coming years, to tackle what is also considered a taboo in France, the principle of the “land of welcome”?
On April 29, 1976,
family reunification, as it remains in force in France today, was introduced under a centre-right government, with Jacques Chirac as Prime Minister and Valéry Giscard d’Estaing as President of the Republic.
The decree established the general framework for family reunification, allowing a foreign national legally resident in France to bring over their spouse and minor children. Other legal provisions already existed prior to this decree. Since the 1920s, a period when significant labour migration was flowing into France—which had suffered from a shortage …

Sorrell Booke

If you grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard, you knew Boss Hogg. The white suit. The white hat. The cigar permanently clamped between his teeth. The waddle. The schemes that never worked. He was the kind of cartoon villain you couldn't help but love — gluttonous, scheming, and somehow harmless.
Almost none of it matched the man inside the costume.
The actor was Sorrell Booke, born in Buffalo, New York in 1930 to a physician's family. By age ten he was performing on local radio. By high school he was class valedictorian. He got into Columbia University, graduated magna cum laude in three years, then earned a Master of Fine Arts from Yale.
Somewhere along the way, he discovered he had an extraordinary ear for languages. By the time he left Yale, he was fluent in Japanese, Russian, French, Italian, and Spanish — with working familiarity in roughly half a dozen more.
That's exactly why the U.S. Army wanted him.
When the Korean War broke out, Booke was conscripted and assigned to the …More
