Rev Gerardo Saco resigned from his appointment as Bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran in the Philippines. Pope Leo XIV appointed Rev. Saco on 25 March 2026, with the episcopal ordination scheduled for 26 May. On 5 May, Cebu Archbishop Alberto Uy announced that Leo XIV had accepted Rev Saco’s resignation. Rev Saco suddenly discovered a “change of heart” and “human limitations and inadequacies”. However, it is more likely that there is an undisclosed issue behind this decision. Choosing Bishops with Hidden Scandals Declining after papal appointment and before ordination used to be very rare in the Church. It has increased in the past decade as a side effect of deliberately appointing compromised or unsuitable candidates. In Argentina alone, Francis appointed three priests as bishops who then resigned from the episcopal consecration weeks later. Bishop Pascalis Syukur, who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a woman and had fathered two children, accepted Pope Francis’s …More

1. The Dire State of the Church Today It is common knowledge that since the revolution of Vatican II, the enemies of God, through their words and deeds, have worked tirelessly to destroy the Catholic Faith. Through teachings contrary to the Faith of our Fathers, through revolutionary changes in the liturgy, and through false interreligious dialogue, they have accomplished the wildest dreams of all those who, for centuries, have conspired to destroy the Church of the Incarnate Word. They attacked the Faith at the Second Vatican Council by substantially changing the holy doctrine of the Church. They attacked the sacraments and, in particular, the rites of priestly ordination and episcopal consecration. They transformed the Mass, turning it into a Protestant worship service. They perverted canon law, traditional devotions, and all the other treasures of the Holy Church. To make these great evils worse still, it may be said without fear of being mistaken that these enemies of God have found …More
Fri May 1, 2026 - 4:59 pm EDTMon May 4, 2026 - 6:12 am EDT ROME (LifeSiteNews) — The Diocese of Rome announced on Thursday that it has organized a Christian-Muslim dialogue event hosted at the Great Mosque of Rome next week. In its April 30 announcement, the diocese announced that next on Thursday, May 7, it will send representatives to speak at the interfaith “Christians and Muslims in Dialogue at the Great Mosque” meeting organized by both the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy and the Diocese of Rome. In its announcement, the diocese stressed that this “interfaith encounter” will follow the examples of Pope Leo – the bishop of Rome – his predecessor Pope Francis, as well as the Second Vatican Council’s Nostra Aetate, the declaration on the relation of the Church to non-Christian religions. The diocesan representatives who will be speaking at the meeting include Monsignor Marco Valenti, auxiliary bishop of the Northern Sector; Monsignor Marco Gnavi, head of the Office for Ecumenism …

'It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies, and to fewer still so to love the truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace.'

Say No to Labour’s ‘Summer of Sex’. The Labour Party is attempting a radical transformation and degradation of our society’s foundational values. How? Through a new initiative, they are calling the ‘Summer of Sex’. Related:BBC'S TRANSGENDER PROPAGANDA Labour MP Samantha Niblett recently launched her “lifelong learning” project with the backing of adult entertainment and adult “toy” industries. This project aims to radically overhaul education and reshape public discourse around intimacy. See also: 1. SIX YEARS WITH MILES CHRISTI. - 2. THREE YEARS WITH “SUPER OMNIA VERITAS”. Niblett’s main partner and advisor in the campaign is ‘sex educator’ and pornography site owner Cindy Gallop, who publicly boasts about enjoying hardcore adult content and believes that children as young as 8 should be taught the ‘joys of sexual pleasure’. Their plan is alarming: to expose people of all ages to adult content in a ‘positive way’ and teach how people how to derive pleasure from their own …More
Awarding of doctoral degrees by Sorbonne Universities on May 14, 2011. CamilleStromboni, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons It is no longer a secret that universities have become one of the arenas where some of today’s fiercest ideological battles are being fought: research and knowledge are being subjected to the dictates of wokeism, in defiance of academic freedom—a glorious European legacy dating back centuries. In France, the phenomenon has reached such proportions that lecturers are forced to organise themselves to fight against what sometimes takes the form of relentless harassment. In many French universities, a climate of intellectual terror prevails that is not—minus the physical elimination—unlike the “terrorism without the gulag,” to use the phrase of the Quebec intellectual Mathieu Bock-Côté during the heyday of the Soviet Union. Some professors and researchers, hounded for non-conformist views and for the content of their courses deemed controversial, find themselves …
Meanwhile, The Tablet magazine reported May 4 that Pezzi had addressed the circumstances of his resignation at a Mass on the day of the announcement. The archbishop reportedly said that, “to make it clear and not spread any conspiracy theories or incorrect rumors, I want to announce that I have resigned because of my health, which does not allow me to manage this beloved, beautiful diocese as I should.”
In his book Popes, Dollars, and War, Italian journalist Massimo Franco claims that Leo XIV was elected, in part, to help bring American donors and dollars back to the Vatican. Franco found an anonymous cardinal who said that "the combination of doctrine and dollars won". And: "The American bishops were tired of being criticised [under Francis] and decided to make themselves heard [...] The new incentive is money, first used against Francis and then in the conclave to elect Prevost." During the pre-conclave meetings, Japanese cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi said: "Are politics involved in the Conclave? No, I don’t think so. But maybe money." Cardinal Reinhard Marx dedicated a full day of the pre-conclave discussion to the Holy See’s finances. Cardinal Müller responded back then, "Enough! We have to elect the successor of Peter, not Judas!" At a book presentation in Rome on 27 April, Cardinal Gerhard Müller rejected the hypothesis that money played a role in Leo XIV’s election with an outright …More
Staff Writer May 4, 2026 News Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors. So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses. The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb. The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.” Chubb …
Mon May 4, 2026 - 7:06 am EDTMon May 4, 2026 - 11:41 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Leo XIV has publicly rejected the teaching of the Catholic Church that capital punishment is legitimate under certain conditions. This teaching, having been proposed for our belief by the universal and ordinary magisterium, must be believed by all Catholics. The denial of this doctrine constitutes heresy. The implications of Leo XIV’s public profession of heresy deserve careful consideration. Leo XIV’s position on capital punishment On April 24, in a video address commemorating the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in Illinois, Leo XIV said: The Church teaches that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person.” The words within speech marks are from the text on capital punishment inserted into the Catechism of the Catholic Church in 2018 by Francis. Speaking to journalists in a plane interview on April 27, Leo XIV reiterated …

Breaking News Methylene blue has been shown to shrink cancer tumours Methylene blue has been shown to shrink tumours and slow cancer growth by targeting cancer cell metabolism and energy production. Photodynamic therapy with methylene blue uses light activation to destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed, making it a more precise treatment option. Research on ovarian cancer found that methylene blue forces tumours to shift away from their preferred energy source, making them more vulnerable to treatment. Unlike chemotherapy, methylene blue treatment does not cause significant side effects or toxicity, making it a promising option for patients with drug-resistant cancers. Proper dosing is important. Just 5 milligrams of pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue per day is enough to reduce cellular stress and support mitochondrial health.

These masonic prelates knew exactly what they were doing in their attempt to destroy the Church by destroying the Mass. They have been largely successful but God always will leave at least a remnant that is faithful. One day, God will bring about a complete restoration of His Church. Let us thank God if we are part of the faithful few.
