Cardinal Tucho Fernández repeated to VaticanNews.va on May 6 that the German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. The pro-homosexual cardinal is a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. He stated that a letter he sent in November 2024 regarding an earlier draft of the German bishops’ blessing guidelines remains fully applicable to the final version approved in April 2025. The German bishops’ document in question is titled Blessing Gives Strength to Love. They falsely claimed Vatican support for their guidelines. The Vatican’s release of the November 2024 letter was “in agreement with Pope Leo XIV.” “That letter is the only and final response,” Tucho told Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, chairman of the German bishops’ liturgy commission, during a meeting in the Vatican on November 12, 2025. Tucho explained that although the final German text differs somewhat from the original draft …More
German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. Ahhhhhhhhhh, the weasel clause Germans, please make sure they first go to confession rather quickly before issuing a blessing. OOOOH, please come back to me again after you back slide, I mean rump range ever again. #2 Weasel Clause How am I suppose to know if they are in mortal Sin? " Who am I to Judge" is the Holy Motto of Pope Francis
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights posted this as their feature article today. I should be flattered, but more importantly I admire them for their sense of justice and support for Pornchai Moontri. -- Father Gordon MacRae
Fr. Gordon J. MacRae (This story originally appeared onBeyond These Stone Walls) I wrote a post recently entitled “Book of Tobit: The Angel Raphael on the Road with Pornchai Moontri.” It was an allegory, like the Book of Tobit itself. An allegory is a sort of genre of Sacred Scripture in which a story is told more for its meaning than for its historical value. Every parable of Jesus falls into this same genre. A part of the story of Tobit, and his son Tobias and their interactions with the Archangel Raphael in disguise were all part of the allegory. That does not mean the allegory did not happen. It means only that the truth of the story does not depend upon someone believing it. There was one aspect of the Book of Tobit story that became a centerpiece of my blog linked above. At the beginning and the end of the Book of Tobit there is a mysterious dog whose presence, meaning and purpose remain a mystery. My friend Pornchai Max and his grueling assimilation to his native Thailand after …
ANTI-CATHOLIC PROPAGANDA IN THE 19TH CENTURY Introduction In the 19th century, anti-Catholic/Roman polemics in the USA multiplied and used the best propaganda tools of the time, starting with the opening of several new daily and weekly newspapers, the most violent of which was The Protestant, a paper founded by the Presbyterian pastor George Bourne in New York in 1830 (See Antony Chester, “The Monstrous Offspring of Babylon the Great”. At the Roots of American Anti-Catholicism, Rimini, Il Cerchio, 2026, p. 59). Protestant tabloid sensationalism The tone was very heated and filled with sensationalism, which remained the core of Protestant proselytism, based on scandalous gossip that presented Catholics, consecrated persons, and priests as essentially corrupt. This type of propaganda has continued to the present day through Hollywood (p. 60), in which pre-conciliar Catholicism is presented as inevitably and unfailingly characterized by widespread negligence, decadence, and intellectual …More
Wed May 6, 2026 - 10:35 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Catholic AfD politician Nicole Höchst has said that her party is “grounded in the Christian faith and Christian values of Catholic social teaching.” In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Höchst discussed whether the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a Christian party, her view of the Synodal Way of the German Catholic bishops, and her personal faith journey. Höchst is a member of the German Parliament, or Bundestag, and the AfD’s spokesperson for religious affairs. She is also a practicing Catholic. Regarding the AfD’s policy positions, Höchst said, “We are, after all, grounded in the Christian faith – specifically, in the Christian values of Catholic social teaching, as one might say – and this is clearly articulated, above all, in our party platform; consequently, we base many of our political positions on this Christian theological foundation. ” However, many AfD politicians are not practicing Christians, and one of the …
[Saint Anselm of Canterbury/Anselm of Aosta; XI-XII Century AD; born: Aosta, Kingdom of Burgundy, Holy Roman Empire/died: Canterbury, England; (aged 72); Italian Benedictine Monk; Archbishop; Abbot; Philosopher; Theologian; Doctor of the Church] Chapter XVI ~ This is the unapproachable light wherein he dwells Truly, 0 Lord, this is the unapproachable light in which you dwell; for truly there is nothing else which can penetrate this light, that it may see you there. Truly, I see it not, because it is too bright for me. And yet, whatsoever I see, I see through it, as the weak eye sees what it sees through the light of the sun, which in the sun itself it cannot look upon. My understanding cannot reach that light, for it shines too bright. It does not comprehend it, nor does the eye of my soul endure to gaze upon it long. It is dazzled by the brightness, it is overcome by the greatness, it is overwhelmed by the infinity, it is dazed by the largeness, of the light. O supreme and unapproachable …More
"Chapter XVIII ~ God is life, wisdom, eternity, and every true good And lo, again confusion; lo, again grief and mourning meet him who seeks for joy and gladness. My soul now hoped for satisfaction; and lo, again it is overwhelmed with need. I desired now to feast, and lo, I hunger more. I tried to rise to the light of God, and I have fallen back into my darkness. Nay, not only have I fallen into it, but I feel that I am enveloped in it. I fell before my mother conceived me. Truly, in darkness I was conceived, and in the cover of darkness I was born. Truly, in him we all fell, in whom we all sinned. In him we all lost, who kept easily, and wickedly lost to himself and to us that which when we wish to seek it, we do not know; when we seek it, we do not find; when we find, it is not that which we seek. Do you help me for your goodness' sake! Lord, I sought your face; your face, Lord, will I seek; hide not your face far from me (Psalm 26:13). Free me from myself toward you. Cleanse, heal,…More
"Chapter XVII ~ In God is harmony, fragrance, sweetness, pleasantness to the touch, beauty, after his ineffable manner Still you are hidden, 0 Lord, from my soul in your light and your blessedness; and therefore my soul still walks in its darkness and wretchedness. For it looks, and does not see your beauty. It hearkens, and does not hear your harmony. It smells, and does not perceive your fragrance. It tastes, and does not recognize your sweetness. It touches, and does not feel your pleasantness. For you have these attributes in yourself, Lord God, after your ineffable manner, who have given them to objects created by you, after their sensible manner; but the sinful senses of my soul have grown rigid and dull, and have been obstructed by their long listlessness."
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.
The destruction of doctrine under the language of “discernment,” “listening,” & “lived experience” is one of the gravest spiritual dangers of our time. Truth is not determined by experience. Truth is revealed by God An Emergency in the Church - Pillars of Faith
Although he led and was at the center of the heinous debacle of lies, treachery and betrayal perpetrated against John Henry Westen, at least Strickland is willing to speak out against sodomy…..small mercies.
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); Bishop; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian; Founder; Doctor of the Church] VI. Spiritual Desolation. We ought to view in the light of God’s holy will, the loss of persons who are helpful to us in a spiritual or material way. Pious souls often fail in this respect by not being resigned to the dispositions of God’s holy will. Our sanctification comes fundamentally and essentially from God, not from spiritual directors. When God sends us a spiritual director, he wishes us to use him for our spiritual profit; but if he takes him away, he wants us to remain calm and unperturbed and to increase our confidence in his goodness by saying to him: “Lord, you have given me this help and now you don’t take it away. Blessed be your holy will! I beg you, teach me what I must do to serve you.” In this …More
"Prayer made amid sensible devotion is not much of an achievement: “There is a friend, a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress.” You would not consider the casual guest at your table a friend, but only him who assists you in your need without thought of benefit to himself. When God sends spiritual darkness and desolation, his true friends are known."
"It is well to remember, however, that aridity is not always a chastisement; at times it is a disposition of divine providence for our greater spiritual profit and to keep us humble. Lest St. Paul become vain on account of the spiritual gifts he had received, the Lord permitted him to be tempted to impurity: “And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan to buffet me.”
Second uncertainty: Since we do not know what happens in a conclave, which is perfectly normal, we also do not know why Pius XII's successor, after being elected, accepting the position and taking a name, suddenly renounced it shortly afterwards. We should not give credence to all the more or less far-fetched hypotheses of those who claim to know what happened, because no one from the conclave has spoken. The only thing that is certain is that the elected candidate accepted and then renounced: the rest is superfluous. (Source: first comment)
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. Picture: ACN, #newsQveepjzxvl

05/06/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The Elite’s technocratic program has been planned for a long time. It has been progressively implemented over many decades under the guise of ongoing technological changes which have been presented as designed to make life easier. But hidden in the rapid technological changes we have learned to accept was a deeper, more insidious and comprehensive program to kill or enslave us all. There is little time left to start defending yourself if you haven’t already. This text is taken from an article published on April 20, 2026, on globalresearch.ca: Resisting the New World Order: Your Technocratic Slave Camp. I am not in favor of labeling people as an “elite” simply because they have amassed a huge fortune through fraud and, having learned from experience, now constantly devise new scams because that is how they achieve the results they want. The article in question addressed many topics. Among other things, the author described the role of wars …
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (28) After some more time had passed in such poverty, the enemy of all those who have set foot on earth appeared again. This time he came in the appearance of the Virgin Mary with her little Son in her arms. He addressed her and spoke thus, scolding her: “You have not wished to abandon your wicked self-love, and I will not give you the virtuous love that is my little Son’s.” And having said this, he disappeared like a person who was upset. And she, thinking that it was the Mother of Christ, pondered very bitterly, believing that she was estranged from her and her Son. (29) Now let the listener think into what mortal weakness and sadness of heart this led her, so much that she could scarcely hold herself upright, so much that many times she would have despaired if she had not known well that the worst sin that can be is that of despair, and also because the divine …More
"(3l) So, one night, when the other sisters slept, she heard him walking around the monastery like a madman yelling with frightful and terrible voice. And after this, when he didn’t receive from God freedom to destroy the monastery to the ground as happened to blessed Job, he did so much that, in a short while, the monastery was empty of both goods and sisters. But she stood firm and did not wish to go outside until it was promised to her by those who went out of there that she could return and begin again in better surroundings than before."
"(30) And when the malign one saw that through all this he could not obtain her damnation, it seems that he received from God the freedom to redouble his rage against her. Knowing how and how much she loved the honor of this monastery from her heart and the common good of all the sisters, he sought to afflict her in another way.

Remember the good old days when the Jesuits forbade their members from becoming bishops or accepting any other kind of powerful religious or secular office to keep their innate intelligence and talent from devolving into arrogance, and resulting in their judgment about whether they existed to serve God or to improve on Him being clouded? So much of the evil that has seized the church has been initiated by Jesuits who were set free to give their conceit and arrogance free rein.
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
Since Rome has lost the faith and is the seat of the Antichrist, it is worth noting that the synod of apostates—homosexual activists and worshippers of Pachamama—consults with non-believers, apostates, and enemies of God and of the Church.
