Archbishop Emeritus of the Abuja Catholic Archdiocese, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has declared that the Federal Government is fully aware of those responsible for the ongoing killings across Nigeria, insisting there is no longer any justification for inaction as insecurity worsens nationwide.
The Cardinal urged the government to “name, shame and deal with” all those supporting or financing terrorism in the country, saying impunity has emboldened attackers who “are killing and getting away with it.”
...a mother and her little daughter, both stricken by the plague, [were] trapped in a house whose door had been sealed. Without hesitation, the scion of the illustrious Borromeo family used a ladder to climb through an upstairs window into the room where the two lay. The mother was dead. After praying for her soul, the Cardinal descended the ladder holding the child tightly in his arms. The child survived. Deeply moved by this incredible act, Manning rightly exclaimed: “A deed worthy of a picture.”
A new wave of anti-Catholic violence struck Nigeria on November 17, when armed men attacked St. Stephen’s Parish in Kaduna State. They kidnapped parish priest Father Bobbo Paschal along with an unspecified number of parishioners. During the assault, the attackers also killed Gideon Markus, brother of Father Anthony Yero, according to the Archdiocese of Kaduna.
Der deutsche Kurienkardinal Walter Brandmüller ist Kirchenhistoriker. Im Interview sagte der 96-Jährige, was er als einer der letzten Zeitzeugen über das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil (1962-1965) und dessen Folgen denkt. "Traditionalisten" führte, waren hingegen die Exzesse der Nachkonzils-Zeit, als man nicht die Beschlüsse von "Sacrosanctum Concilium" umsetzte, sondern eigene Dinge hinzuerfand und mancherorts die Liturgie – meist unbeanstandet – in Willkür und Chaos endete. KNA (Archivbild) Feierliche Eröffnung des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils am 11. Oktober 1962 im Petersdom, der als Konzilsaula diente. "Nostra aetate" über die Elemente der Wahrheit in den anderen Religionen und über "Dignitatis humanae" zur Glaubens- und Gewissensfreiheit. Das sind zeitbedingte Erklärungen des Konzils, die mittlerweile überholt sind – man denke nur an die damaligen Aussagen über den Islam oder über die sozialen Kommunikationsmittel. Konzil von Trient, das 1563 endete. Einige zentrale Beschlüsse …
Für ein neues Konzil ist es naturgemäß noch zu früh ... ! So lange die alten Köpfe von Kardinälen und deren Auftraggeber die Freimaurer, das Sagen haben, kann das neue Konzil nur noch Chaos bedeuten ! Denn wenn viele Ungäubige mit Modernisten konferieren, kommt nur Ungeist heraus und den haben wir schon beim letzten Konzil gehabt ... !
Preis dem einundzwanzigsten Konzil, Das den Völkern weist ihr höchstes Ziel Und durch strengen Lebenssatz verbürgt, Daß nun Reich und Arm sich nicht mehr würgt. "Das Lied der Linde" DAS LIED DER LINDE von der kommenden Zeit
Leo XIV is expected to be asked to resolve one of the longest-standing consequences of the Reformation by formally designating St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral in Dublin as the city’s official Catholic cathedral.
Too bad that most (not all) Catholics in Ireland now no longer believe in anything. They will still demand all the bells and whistles though = hatched, matched and dispatched. They voted in large numbers for "same-sex marriage" and abortion and have to date killed 50,000+ unborn Irish babies. In the meantime the Bishops are busy pushing synodality bulls~~t!
A Catholic majority country has its Catholic Cathedrals stolen from it. The Catholic populace is relegated to a temporary building constructed during penal times when practicing Catholicism was persecuted by the minority Protestant fat cats. The Church of Ireland is a false and irrelevant church of land rewarded apostate landlords. Down with tyrants! Who has the Book of Kells? A Catholic treasure. You guessed it. The Church of Ireland who expropriated it ( euphemism for ‘stole’). The English genocided the Irish during the Potato Famine by exporting out Ireland all cattle and beef. What was left? A few blighted, moldy potatoes. Would Sunni Muslims stand for the Shia taking over Mecca, Medina and the Grand Mosque in Jerusalem? Hell no! Irish Catholics put up with blood thirsty tyrants stealing everything that they could get their hands on, while savagely persecuting the Church back into the catacombs ie, Mass Rock, St. Oliver Plunket, Bishop and Martyr, pray for us! vs. Sir Oliver Plunkett …More

More than 5.4 billion people globally could face persecution and discrimination for their beliefs, according to a new report from Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) The report highlights grave violations of religious freedom in 62 countries: 24 classified as “persecution” (the worst category) and 36 as “discrimination” (the second most serious category).
"The irony of Newman being given this rare honor just now lies in the fact that the unity of the Church is threatened by recrudescent ultramontanism: not the old, nineteenth-century reactionary model, but a new hybrid combining Catholic progressivism in the realm of ideas with liberal authoritarianism in Church governance."
The University of Notre Dame’s tour guides are trained to downplay Catholicism and spotlight diversity. A 2022 manual mandates land acknowledgments, celebrates Diwali, and repeats 3×: “Being Catholic is NOT a requirement.”
Tucho Fernandez: “When an expression requires many, repeated explanations to prevent it from straying from a correct meaning, it does not serve the faith of the People of God and becomes unhelpful.” Kind of like “synodality” or “Fiducia Supplicans” or Amoris laetitia or "poor" or "Madre Terra"?

September 3, 2025 Norfolk Superior Court today granted a preliminary injunction blocking the planned installation of two large statues of Catholic saints outside the entrance of the new public safety headquarters in Quincy. The ruling ensures that the statues of St. Michael and St. Florian will not be installed while the case proceeds. The court also denied the City of Quincy’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The lawsuit was brought in May by a multifaith group of Quincy residents, who argue that the plan violates the separation of church and state, as codified in the Massachusetts Constitution. The plaintiffs are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and Cloherty & Steinberg LLP. “My Christian faith is at the core of my life — and the City’s plan to install religious statues at the entrance to a government building goes against that faith,” said In its …
Earlier this month, GAFCON (the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans) declared itself the new “Global Anglican Communion.” Formed in 2008 as a conservative response to the appointment of the first openly gay bishop in the U.S. Episcopal Church, GAFCON claims to represent the majority of Anglicans, though this is disputed by liberal Anglicans. Its latest rebranding comes after the announcement that Sarah Mullally, a woman, will become the next Archbishop of Canterbury, the traditional head of the Church of England.
"With the announcement of Wu Jianlin's episcopal ordination, the Holy See has responded publicly its acceptance of him as auxiliary bishop. This is despite the fact that Beijing appointed him unilaterally during the sede vacante."
