“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
'The nuncio was reminded of what had happened to the papacy during the Avignon “captivity”.' What is that supposed to mean? Is Trump going to kidnap the pope like he did the Venezuelan president?
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
Illustration The transformation of the European Union into an increasingly centralized structure—what many describe as the “United States of Europe”—is now closer than ever after Fidesz’s defeat in Hungary. As soon as the new Hungarian government’s victory was confirmed, Ursula von der Leyen declared that Hungary was “returning to its European path.” It sounded like a congratulatory remark. In reality, it signaled that the EU’s main sovereigntist stronghold has fallen. For years, Viktor Orbán turned Hungary into the firmest obstacle to the political integration project that the Commission, much of the European Parliament, and several major member states have long sought to advance. Budapest blocked sanctions, challenged the rule-of-law conditionality mechanism, rejected mandatory migrant quotas, and, above all, used unanimity as a tool to defend national interests. That is now over. The first consequence will be political. Without Budapest, the governments that still defend greater …

The communist Prevost—who exploits faith for his leftist political interests—masquerades as a "pacifist" whenever it suits him; yet his double standard betrays him, as he silently permits Catholics to be persecuted by the Chinese communist government.
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
Pope Leo XIV responds to Donald Trump's personal attacks -- “I have no fear of the Trump administration, nor speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel.” x.com/MLJHaynes/status/2043624726732390706/photo/1
If it wasn't for Trump no one would pay attention to Jorge Prevost (aside from us who care about the Church and keep an eye on Prevost's destruction project)
Ambiences, Customs, Civilizations by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Old magazines are often very charming. This is true even when what comes down to us are only loose undated pages that give us glimpses of the remote past. A Paris journal of the last century, L ‘Illustration, carried an article, “Customs of the Café Valois,” written by A. de Belloy, whose memory has been whisked away by time. What is the date of these pages? The article gives us only the most vague elements as to the answer. It is safe to place them somewhere in the 1860’s. In any case they have the merit of evoking certain values of the social conduct of old. Values that disappeared more and more as large cities came into being in the last century, and of which, not even vestiges have remained among the general public of today’s Babels of concrete, steel and asphalt. They were precious values that endowed social relationships with human warmth and that stemmed from the fact that the civilization of yesteryear was centered …More
Alexander Litvinenko’s accusation that Vladimir Putin was a paedophile may have been one of the motives for the Russian government to order his assassination, a report into the former Russian spy's death has found. Sir Robert Owen’s inquiry looked at the former FSB agent’s “highly personal attacks” on the Russian President, which culminated with an article on the Chechenpress website in July 2006, four months before he was poisoned. Mr Litvinenko’s article, which was published as evidence in the report, started by recounting a meeting between Mr Putin and a boy “aged four or five” in a square near the Kremlin. 0 seconds of 2 minutes, 26 secondsVolume 90% “Putin kneeled, lifted the boy’s T-shirt and kissed his stomach,” Mr Litvinenko wrote. “Nobody can understand why the Russian president did such a strange thing as kissing the stomach of an unfamiliar small boy.” The former FSB agent claimed there were “blank spots” in Mr Putin’s career that could be explained by his superiors …

Rational people see this as pure manipulation of Markets; and the nitwits in the markets seem to actually believe it! Trump makes this announcement on a Tuesday. The 48 Hours covers Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday, maybe negotiations start, maybe they don’t., but in the meantime, MARKETS hold-the-line thinking “all will be well” when that’s simply not the case. The people I spoke with today about this told me they see this as PURE MARKET MANIPULATION. They’re gob-smacked that the so-called “experts” in the markets, are so gullible, so blind to reality, so utterly stupid, they can’t even see they’re being grossly manipulated. Unlike the folks I spoke with, I do not believe the “experts …
