On today's first anniversary of Francis's death, the homosexual activist James Martin SJ shared a memory from 2024. At the time, Francis had made some negative remarks about homosexual priests using the Italian slur "frociaggine" (faggotry) in a meeting with Italian bishops. A few weeks later, Francis received Fr Martin and discussed the expression. Francis said then that he knew "many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians". When Fr Martin suggested proclaiming this publicly, Francis replied, "Oh, but I think I have. And in any event, you can say that!" According to Fr Martin, Francis asked back: "So you're saying that I can say you know many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians?" Francis shrugged and said, "Of course. Because I do!" [In reality, the Church has suffered from many unholy, unfaithful, sexually active gay priests.] A few days later, during an audience with comedians, Fr Martin greeted Francis again. The Pope said, "Thank you for our meeting …More
21.04.2026 WHEN THE SSPX SAYS VATICAN COUNCIL II HAS THE HERMENEUTIC OF DISCONTINUITY AND CARD. MULLER SAYS IT HAS A CONTINUITY THEY ARE VAGUE : WE CAN NOW BE SPECIFIC When we refer to the hermeneutic of continuity or discontinuity, it is important to refer to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS)with exceptions or without exceptions. Since if Lumen Gentium 8, 14, 16 etc refer to visible cases then there is a discontinuity, with the dogma EENS of the Council of Florence 1442 etc, which did not mention any exceptions. But if LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to invisible cases there is a hermeneutic of continuity with EENS. Similarly with reference to Tradition, we must ask, do we affirm an Athanasius Creed which has exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II or no exceptions mentioned in the Council-text. So when the SSPX says Vatican Council II has the hermeneutic of discontinuity and Cardinal Muller says it has one of continuity, this is vague. They must be specific. …More
Amid growing controversy over the future of the Valley of the Fallen, Spain’s Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has defended Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid. Bolaños told LaSexta.com that the plan to secularise the religious site was not the cardinal's initiative, but the result of an agreement reached directly with the Vatican. He emphasised that no personal deal had been made with Cobo, who has faced significant pressure from Catholics over the issue. The minister also said that the Vatican is fully committed to transforming the Valley from a monastery into a site of "democratic memory". Addressing divisions within the Catholic Church, Bolaños described it as a 'plural organisation', while criticising more traditional sectors that oppose the transformation and suggesting that they are out of step with 'contemporary society'. He also placed the “re-signification” of the Valley within a broader set of negotiations between the Spanish government and the Church, covering issues …More
The Valley of the Fallen is the equivalent of Arlington National Cemetery in Virgina. The main difference is that priests live in the monastery that is there and the edifice is large and quite awesome to behold.
Just war is again being discussed in the public square by policymakers and prelates alike. Recently, the chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Doctrine, Bishop James Massa, made a clarification about just war in response to comments from the president and vice president. Given the war in Iran, there is no better time for such conversation. While much of Bishop Massa’s statement could be interpreted as a defense of the pope, I feel compelled to correct the record on the just war tradition. Before going further, permit me to make two caveats. First, the discussion of just war in the public square is a welcome occurrence even as it comes in the wake of war, of which Augustine warns us, “if he remembers that he is a human being, he will be much readier to deplore the fact that he is under the necessity of waging even just wars.” Both politicians and clerics avoid discussions of the just war tradition far too often, so I praise Bishop Massa for entering the fray. Second, I leave the analysis …
If just War can be waged against bad actors who kill 64 million of the innocent and defenseless for more than 50 years then certainly abortion qualifies.
The recent death of Paul Ehrlich (1932–2026), that master of anti-natalist propaganda, should cause us to consider the far-reaching consequences of his doctrine. As the author of The Population Bomb, (Note: all page references given below refer to this work) written in 1968, Ehrlich helped shape the disastrous demographic policies which many countries around the world are currently scrambling to reverse. by Kathy Clubb Among his predictions was the frightening spectre of overpopulation and world-wide famine to be experienced in the 1970s. By tying food availability to increasing population, Ehrlich successfully sowed enough fear into the academics of his day to ensure that his message would be taken up and disseminated into the unsuspecting community at large. Contraception Central to Ehrlich’s policies for population control was contraception; this was to be subsidised by the government and especially was to be made available to the poor. He lauded the U.S. government’s multi-million …

Mon Apr 20, 2026 - 1:41 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A newly unearthed photograph taken in Rome in 1983 shows a young Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, participating in a left-leaning mass demonstration against NATO missile deployment. On April 14 Luca Casarini, an Italian left-wing activist known for his role in the “no-global” movement and, more recently, for his work in migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean, posted an image on his Facebook profile showing a young Father Robert Prevost during a peace march. Several news outlets have since picked up the story. “You’ve come a long way, brother Robert. But you haven’t changed direction,” Casarini commented in his post. READ: Pope Leo should canonize the thousands of Catholics martyred by Islamic terrorists in Nigeria On October 22, 1983, during a large march for peace held in Rome against the installation of NATO Cruise missiles in Comiso, Sicily, and across Europe, a young Prevost – not long ordained and engaged in …
The church Saint-Nicaise de Rouen in Rouen, France, will become a brasserie-restaurant with an additional museum space. The site dates back to the 7th century, when a chapel was built for the relics of Saint Nicaise. The current building was reconstructed in reinforced concrete after a fire in 1934 and reopened for worship in 1940. Due to structural deterioration, water infiltration, and lack of maintenance, the church was closed in 2006 and officially deconsecrated in 2017. The new project includes a restaurant, on-site beer production, and preservation of some architectural elements. The church’s large organ, completed in 1957 and one of the most important in Rouen, has been removed and will be relocated to another church in Paris for restoration. Local authorities cited high restoration costs as the main reason for the conversion. #newsRxmfreixrh
Israel is two faced like trump. Condemning one of their soldiers for smashing a Crucifix while the bomb and kill Christians. No doubt they say they are outraged but no surprise if he is rewarded in secret.
Shah Rahman was jailed in 2012 – alongside three other extremists inspired by Al-Qaeda – over the plot | MET POLICE An Islamist terrorist who plotted to blow up the London Stock Exchange was allowed to stay in Britain despite having his asylum claim turned down. Shah Rahman was jailed in 2012 – alongside three other extremists inspired by Al-Qaeda – over the plot. Just five years later, he was released onto Britain’s streets, but was later recalled to prison in 2022 for breaches of his license. However, a fresh immigration case involving his wife has uncovered that the terrorist had been allowed to remain in the country despite having his asylum claim turned down. Rahman married Mauritian national Parveen Purbhoo while on license in 2019 in an Islamic ceremony in London. She was later barred from Britain for life by then-Home Secretary Suella Braverman after officers at Heathrow Airport uncovered Isis-related material on her phone. Her relation to Rahman can now be revealed after …

04/21/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. First, a brief comparison. In history class, we learned about a Mongol ruler from the turn of the 12th to the 13th century: the ruthless conqueror of half the world, Genghis Khan. His wars claimed the lives of 40 million people at the time—that is 11.11% of the entire known world population. Today I asked “Google Intelligence” the following question: How did Genghis Khan treat envoys? The answer surprised me greatly: Genghis Khan treated envoys with the utmost respect, and their protection was a fundamental principle of Mongol law and strategy. The most important aspects of this topic are listed below: Absolute inviolability: The killing of an envoy (ambassador) was considered one of the gravest acts of hostility, which typically led to merciless revenge and the complete destruction of the state that had committed such an act; The Jam System (Jaam): Genghis Khan established an efficient courier system (Jam) that enabled messengers to travel …
Cardinal Frank Leo, the metropolitan archbishop of Toronto yesterday sent a letter "to Prime Minister Carney and all federal Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Archdiocese of Toronto asking for their support of Bill C-218 and decrying the rapid expansion of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Bill C-218 is a private members’ bill currently before Parliament that would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027." The terrible law itself needs to be stopped. Since euthanasia was legalized in Canada in 2016, over 20,000 Canadians have been killed. Abortion kills 100,000 unborn babies each year, all paid for by Canada Health. Did you know that the yearly number of deaths in Canada will soon surpass the number of births? There is no future of any kind in that coming …

According to the First Book of Chronicles, David gave the purest gold: to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims, spreading their wings and veiling the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
