In a hard-hitting interview with Dr. Thomas Ward, President of the John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family (JAHLF), renowned German Catholic sociologist and author Gabriele Kuby denounced the German bishops’ conference’s recent document endorsing the “diversity of sexual identities” in Catholic schools. In the interview, published in the latest issue of The Academy Review, Kuby called the document the latest and most alarming manifestation of the German hierarchy’s decades-long rebellion against the Church’s teaching on sexual morality. The document itself, called “Created, Redeemed, and Loved: Visibility and Recognition of the Diversity of Sexual Identities in the School,” was published on 30 October 2025 by the German bishops’ conference under Archbishop Georg Bätsing. It declares that “the diversity of sexual identities is a fact” and it instructs Catholic schools to accept pupils’ self-identification as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or non …
Bishop Schneider defies Traditionis Custodes: During his current stay in Brazil, Bishop Athanasius Schneider celebrated Mass in the Roman Rite at the Cathedral of Nossa Senhora das Dores in Caruaru, Pernambuco. Bishop José Ruy Gonçalves Lopes, 58, of Caruaru was present at the Mass. According to Traditionis Custodes (2021) a diocesan bishop cannot authorize the public celebration of the 1962 Missal in his cathedral without the Holy See, which is practically always denied.

I would be happy to applaud Bishop Schneider if I believed his celebration of the TLM in defiance of the Modernists’ TC was a step in the direction of rejecting the Novus Ordo Mass and the false teaching of Vatican II, but doubt very much that it is. He’s like so many who genuinely sense that they should be living very different lives but lack the spiritual fortitude to make the change—most likely out of fear of reaction from his confreres and personal supporters Still, I pray that I’m wrong, because a shift on his part would greatly please God and encourage many others to follow.
IF SCIENCE STILL CANNOT EXPLAIN, THERE ARE ONLY TWO OPTIONS: TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE Saint Bernardette Soubirous of Lourdes died in 1879 at the age of 35. Her body was excavated due to the process of canonization and to the surprise of doctors and examiners alike, her body was completely intact. Her teeth and nails were found incorrupt and perhaps equally compelling was the fact that the Rosary in her hands was still wet so many years after her death. Bernardette still has liquid blood flowing through her body. If she were alive today she would be 181 years old

Bishop Eleganti’s comments stand in stark contrast to Pope Leo’s recent statements. On January 25, 1986, Pope John Paul II announced the first multi-religious World Day of Prayer for Peace, which took place on October 27 of the same year. It was attended by 150 representatives of various religious groups, including the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, representatives of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism, Inamullah Khan from the Islamic World Congress, and the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Elio Toaff, to name but a few. Further meetings followed with different emphases: in 1993, 2002, 2011, and 2016. As far as the interfaith meetings in Assisi were concerned, there were concerns from curia officials and bishops from the very beginning. They wondered whether this meeting of non-Catholic and non-Christian religious leaders was not dangerously close to “the heresy of syncretism.”[1] Above all, did these meetings not ipso facto place all religious traditions on the same level? “How could the pope …

Dec 7 Second Week of Advent, Sunday We continue posting daily Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book titled, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathers by Marco Pappalardo. Introduction Praying is stretching a hand toward the Infinite. You are always heard. And no one ever really knows what he or she is asking. It is a loving dialogue between our own lowliness and the greatness of God. Our meager words, silence, abandonment, and meditation rise and go to the heavens. God will never hold back his hand when we turn to him with a sincere heart, with our limitations, and with our journey of faith. Dec 6 Is there no limit to Canada's shame? Just days ago, Calgary Pastor Derek Reimer was arrested once more and sent to jail. His crime this time? He had been ordered by a court to write an apology for protesting a public library's "drag queen story hour." He refused to do so. He's Christian …
“There’s no budget for it anymore,” he said. “They’re closing parishes throughout the Northeast.” Haberski, who described Franciscan Media’s origins as “kind of pro-labor and pro-family,” with material that sought to reach the working class, said, “It’s a shame we are losing that legacy — but it still exists for people to read and to look at.”
