Victoria Villarruel, the vice president of Argentina, who is also a devout Catholic, prays on her …

I wonder if a truly devout politician would allow publicity shots of herself praying.

Different countries have different names in different languages. No need to interpret that as an insult.

👏 👏 The eclipse we really want to see in Canada

Fingers crossed.

Francis Literally Digs His Own Grave

Just more arrogance on his part. Doesn't want to mix with his riff-raff predecessors.

Another Reminder, Another Bad Omen, In a Chronology of Bad Omens - Doves Released At Vatican Attacked …

Cruel. It's well known that that's the fate of doves released at celebrations.

“The Catholics” (1973): A Trad Film Ahead of Its Time

One of my all-time favorite movies. Saw it for the first time when I thought there must be something wrong with me for preferring the radical love and beauty of the traditional church to the loud, back-slapping, endless-discussion modern one. It showed me there was a slight chance I wasn't crazy.

Westminster Cathedral forced to turn people away due to unprecedented numbers attending Easter Triduum …

I used to think that building was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen, but now it's growing on me.

Hard to Believe: “Benedict Defended Me On Homosex-Couples” - Francis

" I explained the reasons and he was happy." No, he wasn't happy, just too smart and civilized to bother arguing with someone who was an ideologue and thus utterly uninterested in any contrary opinions.

St Patrick’s Cathedral, Easter Vigil: A climate activist shouted “Free Palestine” as they were …

Cardinal Dolan needs to start acting like a man and demand that New York City provide police to screen each and every person who wants to attend a special event like the Easter Vigil. It takes more than being jolly and uber-tolerant to be a competent Cardinal Archbishop.

Police tell Jews Swastikas can be ACCEPTABLE! – Allah's Willing Executioners

If you're a cop you have to do what you're told and how you're told to do it. That poor cop (evidenty poorly schooled in European history) had to respond as he did unless he wants to get fired. It's a horrible situation, but please remember that London police are, in effect, working in a foreign country where western values simply aren't shared.

Perfect for Easter: Francis Wraps Baldachin of St Peter's Basilica

He's getting laughably petty.

At least 33 Canadian churches have burned to the ground since May 2021. So far, 24 are confirmed arsons …

I suspect they've just joined the highly profitable, now-decades-long victimhood game that's still being played on many different fields (because anyone who speaks the truth out loud to try to stop it will become the real victim).

Résultats record en 2024 du nombre de catéchumènes en France - Église catholique en France

That's fine, as long as they're not in danger of deportation and are saying their conversion would be a virtual death sentence if they were returned home.

Rigid Francis: "We Must Be Freed From Rigidity And Frustration"

Francis the Protestant Pope prefers to use his strength to preach The New Gospel rather than fulfill his duty as a Catholic priest.

Rotten: A German Bishop Says Abortion Is Workable "Compromise" (sic)

Wonder if he also has a "workable compromise" for genocide.

What do men think about this?

It looks like he's sleeping in the wrong direction, slumbering down on the more narrow side of the mattress rectangle.

Supreme Court of Canada Argues Lower Court Judge Made “Unfortunate, Confusing” Decision In Referring …

On the bright side, I think we may have reached a milestone here: things can't POSSIBLY get any worse up there, so maybe they'll start reversing course (please, God, PLEASE!!!).

Cardinal Dolan on Lent, Passover and Ramadan: “Spring is time of triumph of light and life. That is …

Good grief. What a bunch of syncretic theological junk food, but that's about all most Catholic bishops now offer to their spiritually starving charges.
