Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Reinhard Marx at the Vatican—just a few days after Rome issued a strong criticism of the ritualized blessings of same-sex couples in Germany.
Right, strong criticism of RITUALIZED blessings, while that same Rome sees no sin in sodomy. Germans are just a bit too forward about the same things that Vatican is pushing and it's hypocritical to blame them while being quiet about Vatican.
The number of Catholic weddings in Ireland fell by over half from 2014 to 2024, reflecting an increasing preference for civil marriages as well as a decline in marriage overall. Catholic weddings in the country fell by 51% over the decade-long period in a remarkable drop from 13,071 in 2014 to 6,425 in 2024, according to the Central Statistics Office. By 2024, civil marriages outnumbered Catholic marriages by a small margin at 6,743.
The French Bishops Conference has issued a communique stating that Pope Leo will visit the country at the end of September; 2 stops on the trip to include Paris, and Lourdes.
Après les rumeurs persistantes, la confirmation (presque) officielle... la Conférence des évêques de France annonce une visite du pape Léon XIV en France probablement fin septembre, à Paris et Lourdes.
The anti-white culture of blame has become a business model. In the UK, Green Party “reparations commissioner” Antoinette Fernandez is demanding billions in compensation for the slave trade. Yet, according to reports, she descends from the Obas of Lagos, rulers historically linked to major slave trading operations. Historians claim one ancestor owned 1,400 slaves, while another reportedly brought slaves back from Brazil to build properties in Lagos.
Der antiweiße Schuldkult ist vor allem ein Geschäftsmodell. Ein Beispiel aus GB: Antoinette Fernandez ist die „Reparationsbeauftragte“ der Grünen und fordert Milliardenentschädigungen von Großbritannien für den „Sklavenhandel“. Wie jedoch die Daily Mail berichtet, ist die grüne Politikerin „eine Nachfahrin der Obas (Könige) von Lagos, die ... als bedeutende Sklavenhändler beschrieben werden, die mit Sklavengeschäften hohe Provisionen verdienten. Einem Historiker zufolge besaß einer von Frau Fernandez' Vorfahren persönlich 1.400 Sklaven, und ein anderer brachte sogar nach Brasilien verschiffte Sklaven wieder zurück, um für sich in Lagos Häuser zu bauen.“ Link: Greens hopeful calling for UK to pay reparations …
“Self defense has traditionally always been allowed by the Church. To talk about just war today is a very complex problem. Ever since the entrance into the nuclear age, the whole concept of ‘war’ has to be reevaluated” - Leo XIV last night.
Who that British prime minister that waved a piece of paper we have peace with Hitler. War starts in the heart and minds of men not being in the state of grace is the root of war. Confession and the other sacraments are the anti atomic bomb Salt of the earth .....etc
Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …More

A letter in today's Irish Times claims that 'most Catholics' support women's ordination The letter writer claims that it should be 'the headline issue at the National Synodal Assembly of Ireland on October 17th, 2026'
So, what! The laity have no voice at all in changing dogma and traditional practices of the Catholic Church. Wrong is wrong even though everyone is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it.
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 …
A newly emerged letter from pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, has revealed that he warned the German bishops in 2024 against proceeding with their proposed homosexual blessings. Dated 18 November 2024, the letter was addressed to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, who is responsible for liturgy. It was published today on X.com by Mexican priest Jorge Enrique Mújica, head of Zenit.org. In the letter, Tucho states that the German bishops’ proposed guidelines for blessings “effectively legitimise the status of such couples” and therefore contradict his homosexual pamphlet Fiducia Supplicans. He also criticises the German text for creating what amounts to “a kind of liturgy or para-liturgy” for homosexual blessings. Specifically, Tucho rejected: • the treatment of homosexual unions as a status to be publicly recognised, • the inclusion of ritual elements resembling marriage ceremonies, • prescribed …More
Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture. Priest Offered Death While Recovering, Not Dying Holland broke his hip after falling on Christmas Day. He is …More
The more we tell what is happening, the better the chance that it will become a ground swell, and we'll overcome the evil people who hope to benefit by our forced death. Thank you, Father.
Ecco cos'è l'eutanasia spacciata per libertà. Una pistola alla tempia del malato, per il quale il grilletto per lo sparo al momento viene abbassato dal paziente. In alcuni stati come Belgio o Paesi Bassi viene abbassato da giudici o periti sociali giudicando le persone degne o meno di vivere. In Italia in alcune Regioni si è tentato già di sdoganare tale legge, ma in qualche caso non è stata approvata, non certo per il silenzio assordante di certi... che dovrebbero parlare...
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
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.
Fri May 1, 2026 - 12:16 pm EDT TYLER, Texas (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV named Tyler, Texas, priest Fr. John Gomez as the new bishop of Laredo, Texas. The move raised eyebrows since Gomez was instrumental in the removal of beloved Tyler, Texas, Bishop Joseph Strickland by Pope Francis. Gomez was vicar general in Tyler under Strickland, but was nevertheless the one who arranged clergy from the diocese to meet with Vatican investigators sent to assess Strickland’s leadership. One of the sources close to Strickland who identified Gomez’s role was Deacon Keith Fournier, who, when called in to give testimony about Bishop Strickland to the Vatican investigators, informed me that he was called by the vicar general – Gomez. Fournier told me that on his arrival he found that the visitation was “not seeking information but a foregone conclusion seeking a way to justify asking (Strickland) to resign.” I communicated with three other individuals intimately involved with the diocese who confirmed …
Oh, dear. Poor Bishop Strickland. When we catch a glimpse of the cross others are asked to carry, sometimes it is very painful to see. May God give him strength and courage.
The Archdiocese of Rouen cancelled a scheduled performance by a well-known Portuguese DJ priest at its Joan of Arc celebrations amid mounting criticism.
Despite originally being announced as one of the event’s featured attractions, Portuguese priest and DJ Guilherme Peixoto will no longer perform at the opening-night concert of Rouen’s 2026 Jeanne d’Arc celebrations on 14 May. The Archdiocese of Rouen, France, said that Padre Guilherme had requested to postpone his appearance. This followed public criticism of his inclusion in the festival programme. Critics questioned the appropriateness of a priest performing electronic music during celebrations dedicated to Joan of Arc. He will be replaced by French DJ Charles B, who will be accompanied by a local opening act. Unlike Padre Guilherme, the replacement performers are not clergy and their performance is not framed by religion. Picture: Padre Guilherme, #newsJkmrzqlodl
Video from a Confirmation Mass yesterday in the Diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina. Bishop Michael Martin sits-eyes closed-as priests, deacons, and laity distribute Holy Communion to all but one family who is ignored as they kneel at the altar rail. This is a parish where, until 6 months ago, the Latin Mass was offered and where (until just a few weeks ago) Communion was distributed at the rail.
Among Benedictines, the Roman Rite and the Novus Ordo coexist very peacefully side by side, said Abbot Primate Jeremias Schröder, a German Benedictine, in an interview with KNA on 30 April. Throughout the order, there are around ten abbeys that celebrate the old rite, mostly in France. The majority belong to the Congregation of Solesmes. Fontgombault Abbey was the first of a group of monasteries that celebrate according to the old rite and they are fully integrated into the Solesmes congregation. Most monasteries in that congregation use the Novus Ordo. In addition, there is Le Barroux Abbey and its daughter foundations, which were initially oriented towards the Lefebvrist movement. Following the episcopal consecrations in 1988, the monastery returned to full communion with Rome is now under the authority of Abbot Schröder. He also mentioned the community in Norcia, Italy (pictured). Novus Ordo in Fontgombault Abbot Schröder summarised: "We all treat one another with respect. As Abbot …More
