French Archbishop Allows Illegal Immigrants to Occupy a Church: On Sunday, 23 November, about fifty young undocumented migrants occupied Saint-Polycarpe Church in Lyon with the parish priest’s approval. Archbishop Olivier de Germay announced via the Archdiocese of Lyon’s official account that he would not call the police and would allow the group to enter the church each afternoon and evening so it can remain open for prayer. He said this was an emergency response and that political leaders still bear responsibility for addressing the wider migration situation. Saint-Polycarpe, a protected historic monument from the 17th–18th centuries, houses an 1841 organ by Augustine Zeiger.
Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments. Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.
“The reason the Church’s leaders persecute the most faithful Catholics is that, broadly speaking, the leadership of the Catholic Church on earth at this time is dominated by a network of active homosexuals and theological modernists”, philosopher Peter Kwasniewski wrote on his Substack.com-account TraditionSanity.com on November 20. He added that they in the network rely on one another’s support: “We all know individual good bishops or cardinals but such exceptions are a controlled opposition, with very limited mobility.” Kwasniewski explains that their “religion” is one of self-actualization and self-regard: “Theirs is the fashionable subjectivism and flexible relativism of the postmodern West, where ‘anything goes’ - except, of course, traditional faith and morals, for this faith and these morals would eliminate them ...” The more fruitful the Mass in the Roman rite is, the more furious they will be: “It’s precisely because of this fruitfulness, not in spite of it, that its …More
Isn't what's needed is a list of all non-believing popes, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, religious order heads, major theologians, etc., from 1930 (when the plan to seize the Church supposedly started) to the present (preferably in reverse order). Surely there is a group of believing theology professors with trusted masters and PhD students who could produce the list relatively quickly if a rich layman would agree to cover the costs and any legal consequences. If not, how else will this seizure of God's house by evil be reversed? Or should we all just wait for the Second Coming to solve it?
Pope Leo XIV reinstated the pastoral district of central Rome, which Pope Francis had dissolved in October 2024. The decree, published on Wednesday, is titled Immota Manet ('It remains unchanged'). The restored district encompasses Rome’s historic city centre, characterised by its dense concentration of churches, and is home to most of the city's clergy. Francis distributed this territory among the city's four outer districts, claiming that it should not become a 'museum'. Leo XIV argued that the city centre forms a coherent whole. Francis's change was met with strong resistance from the clergy and was reluctantly implemented.
DIOCESI DI ROMA: LEONE XIV RIMETTE A POSTO IL DRAMMA TARANTELLI Leone XIV: "stabilisco e dispongo che le cinque Prefetture, dalla I alla V, ritornino a far parte di un unico Settore Centro, che dunque si aggiunge nuovamente agli altri quattro Settori della Diocesi di Roma" da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum
Leo XIV calls for respect for ALL religions: When asked on Tuesday evening in Castel Gandolfo about his message for the Holy Land, Leo XIV replied: "Encouraging all people to look for peace and justice. We have to work together and look for greater unity, respect for all people and all religions."
Pope Leo XIV: "I think we have to work together to look for greater unity, respect for all people and all religions."

Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Łódź as the new Archbishop of Kraków in Poland. Born in Krakow in 1964, he was ordained as a priest in 1988. In 2011, Benedict XVI appointed him as an auxiliary bishop of Krakow. Pope Francis named him archbishop of Łódź in 2017 and cardinal in September 2023. Francis' man in Poland Edward Pentin described Cardinal Ryś on CollegeOfCardinalsReport.com as an extremely liberal bishop and as Poland’s "Pope Francis man". "His elevation to the cardinalate was seen as a reward and encouragement for his attempts to reform Poland's conservative Church." Pentin added that, since Ryś became a member of the Congregation for Bishops in October 2023, new bishops in Poland have been more progressive than their predecessors. Like Cardinal Ryś, they all strongly promote the Church’s new synodal way. In October 2023, Cardinal Ryś said that opposition to Pope Francis is "completely unjust" and "always based on one or two phrases taken out of …More
In a recent video, the young Vietnamese-American convert Laura pleads with Pope Leo XIV to stop being "confusing", calling this "false compassion". Initially, she was “very hopeful” about his election, but she now presents a list of his failures. She notes that he does not discipline priests who advocate heresies such as female ordination. She also mentions the appointment of Cristiana Perrella, who has promoted 'very perverse' artworks, as the new president of the Pontifical Academy for Fine Arts. She adds that Leo XIV has received homosexual activists and tolerates homosexual Eucharists: "These bishops and priests are giving the Eucharist to people who are committing unrepented mortal sins," she underlines. Furthermore, she criticises Leo XIV’s support for the global climate change agenda. Finally: "You talk about synodality, but you don't do anything to actually unite us," she declares.
In a remarkable video, a young woman named “Laura” who converted from Buddhism to Catholicism in 2018 pleads with Pope Leo XIV to be faithful to his role as Christ’s representative on Earth and urged him to stop being “confusing and abstract.” “When I heard that the world was receiving a new Pope, I was very curious, was very hopeful to see what was to come,” she began.
A new report has found that, since 1992, more than 700 Anglican clergy, including 16 bishops, have converted to Catholicism. Of these, 486 were ordained as priests. There were two major peaks: The first was in 1994, following the approval of women's "ordination", when around 160 conversions occurred. The second spike occurred in 2011, following the establishment of the Ordinariate, with over 80 conversions.
Hundreds of Anglican Priests Have Converted To Catholicism
In April 2012, the elderly religious Brother Tom Cavanaugh recounted his experiences at an Indian residential school to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Victoria, British Columbia. There were no abuses at his school, he explained. "Frankly the care was excellent," he recalled. There were indigenous staff members, and parents were welcome to visit the school at any time. His statement provoked a demonic reaction from the anti-Catholic audience, “Shame on you!”
At today's press conference, Tucho was asked if his document on monogamy also applies to two homosexuals in a stable relationship. He replied that the Church considers marriage to be an exclusive union between a man and a woman. But: "That does not mean that there are no values in other contexts and that what we say here cannot also apply to other forms of unions. When we talk about patience, respect, etc., that also applies to relationships between friends and other forms of relationship."
“Eminenza, vorrei sapere: questo documento, per persone dello stesso sesso che vivono unioni di monogamia… Sono esclusi da Una carne?” Tucho: “Quello non vuol dire che in altri contesti non ci siano dei valori, no? E che quello che diciamo qua non possa servire anche ad altre forme di unioni. Quando si parla della pazienza, del rispetto, eccetera eccetera, quello vale anche per un rapporto tra amici, vale per altre forme di rapporto.”
On 25 November, InfoVaticana.com released an audio recording related to alleged money laundering involving the Vatican, the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (Sodalicio) and an ongoing FBI investigation. In the recording, Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu — an official of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, as well as the Vatican’s commissioner overseeing the suppression of the Sodalicio — admits that the Holy See was aware of the FBI's investigation into the suspected money laundering. The audio captures a conversation between Msgr. Bertomeu and a Sodalicio representative in which they discuss strategies to 'avoid scandal' and reduce the impact of the case in Peru and the US. According to InfoVaticana, the actions described by Monsignor Bertomeu could constitute obstruction of justice under US federal law. In the recording, he suggests informing the FBI that the Church has already 'cleaned up' the situation by recovering assets and severing ties with the Sodalicio. This an approach should …More
At today’s presentation of the sexual psychology document Una caro. Elogio della monogamia, Tucho Fernández linked celibacy with abuse, reports German agency KNA. A priest cannot expect to fill his feelings of loneliness with another person, he said, noting that this can give rise to abuse: "I have to resolve my feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and psychological problems in other ways." For decades, many experts have pointed out that there is no evidence that celibate men are more likely to be pedophiles than the general male population. Psychologists and criminologists also emphasize that celibacy itself does not increase the likelihood of pedophilic tendencies [but how about porn?]. Furthermore: Data from Germany indicate that the extent of sexual abuse in Protestant and Catholic institutions is comparable. #newsCsohvpenln
Who would even think that Tucho is a Catholic? Who would even consider his documents seriously? Who would even say that the documents Tucho publishes could in any way be accepted or used within the Catholic Church?
Full quote: “Certainly what is said about non-possession also applies to us. As a priest, I cannot presume to fill my sense of loneliness by using another person. Abuse also comes from there, doesn’t it? From my sense of emptiness, of loneliness. I should look for other ways, not another person who can satisfy these needs. This also applies to the celibate.”
Tucho Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, released on November 25 the document on monogamy, titled ‘Una caro. Elogio della monogamia’. This 156-paragraph, 40-page text essentially compiles what has been said throughout history about matrimony, from the Book of Genesis and the Church Fathers to Popes, philosophers, pagan cultures, and poets. For example, Fernández quotes Hindu sources such as the Manusmṛti, the Bhagavata Purana and the Thirukkural to affirm the value of monogamy. The document was written after discussions with African Bishops on polygamy and also on polyamorous relations, growing in the West. During the press conference, Tucho couldn’t help himself but make a pro-homosexual “joke”. He said that about how 40 years ago, people used to say that Romans had a wife, but they also had another woman and another man. In the document itself, Tucho does not appear to have committed one of his usual doctrinal errors, nor does he seem to have granted …More
Pope Leo XIII: "There can be nothing more dangerous than those heretics who admit nearly the whole cycle of doctrine, and yet by one word, as with a drop of poison, infect the real and simple faith taught by our Lord and handed down by Apostolic tradition." -Auctor Tract, de Fide Orthodoxa contra Arianos.
In September 2024, a German general practitioner wrote to eleven German-speaking cardinals and bishops, as well as the conservative Cistercian abbey of Heiligenkreuz near Vienna, Austria. His aim was to propose a redefinition of the concept of protecting human life—one that would recognize human life from the moment an egg and sperm fuse. The outcome: He received evasive replies from the prelates Rainer Maria Woelki (Cologne), Bertram Meier (Augsburg), Reinhard Marx (Munich), and Rudolf Voderholzer (Regensburg), all of whom sidestepped the issue. No reply at all came from Stephan Burger (Freiburg) and Christoph Schönborn (then still Archbishop of Vienna), from Heiligenkreuz Abbey, or from the German Bishops' Conference - which had in fact received three letters. Bishop Stefan Oster (Passau) forwarded the letter to the German Bishops' Conference. The then-bishop Gregor Hanke (Eichstätt) and Cardinal Gerhard Müller responded positively. Cardinal Müller replied in April 2025 about "the …More
Leo XIV has released today two documents a new General Regulation of the Roman Curia and a Personnel Regulation about recruitment. They enter into force on 1 January 2026 for a five-year ad experimentum period. The Personnel Regulation requires Vatican employees to uphold exemplary religious and moral conduct, also in private life. It sets employment rules: six-day work weeks, fixed hours, 26 days of annual leave, monitoring of sick leave, restrictions on part-time work, and bans on employing relatives within the same office. The General Regulation represents a complete reconstruction of the curial system—administrative structure, documentation regime, digitalization, the rights of the faithful, and a renewed centrality of the Secretariat of State. End of Latin The previous obligation to draft acts “as a rule” in Latin disappears. Italian, English, French, and other modern languages may now be used normally. This will practically mean the abandonment of Latin. Faithful’s right to a …More
After eight years of Vatican oversight and stalled reforms, and the unexpected delay in accepting their commissioner’s resignation, the Vatican must decide on the heralds of the gospel. 2017: Opening of apostolic visitation The Brazil-based group was accepted as 'Pontifical Association' by Pope John Paul II in 2001. In 2017, Pope Francis initiated an apostolic visitation against them, conducted by the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life. At this stage, according to their documentation, no formal list of charges or specific reasons for the visitation was communicated to them. Parallel to this, various civil and canonical complaints were filed against the heralds. In the years that followed, more than thirty of these cases were resolved through acquittal or archival in both civil and ecclesiastical tribunals. 2019: Appointment of the commissioner In September 2019, after reviewing the results of the visitation, Francis appointed Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno Assis, Archbishop …More
Samba-Singing Bishop Accompanies Brazil’s Homosexuals: The Brazilian bishops' conference has appointed Bishop Arnaldo Carvalheiro Neto of Jundiaí, São Paulo, as the prelate responsible for supporting homosexuals. Brazil is thus following countries such as Germany and Belgium. Homosexual groups in Brazil hailed the appointment as a 'historic achievement'. Bishop Carvalheiro is known in Jundiaí for his authoritarian style. He ordered the crosses on the main altars to be moved to the side and permitted weddings to take place outside of church buildings. According to CatolicaConect (September 2024), he frequently visits a local bar to sing samba, once inviting seminarians to join a samba gathering.
A CNBB nomeou Dom Arnaldo Carvalheiro Neto, bispo de Jundiaí, como bispo referencial para o acompanhamento pastoral de grupos católicos LGBT+. A Rede Nacional de Grupos Católicos LGBT+ celebrou a decisão como uma conquista histórica após anos de articulação. A escolha gerou preocupações devido ao histórico de controvérsias do bispo e ao silêncio da CNBB sobre os critérios e objetivos do novo encargo.
Ezekiel 3:18-19 "When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his wicked ways so that he may live, he will die for his sin, but I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his evil ways, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved your life."
On 22 November, the Peruvian woman Ana Maria Quispe Diaz issued a statement on LaNuovaBq.it accusing Pope Leo XIV of blocking justice. She has claimed since 2020 that she and her two sisters were sexually abused as children by Padre Eleuterio 'Lute' Vásquez. Padre Lute has admitted to wrongdoing. During a recorded meeting in April 2025, the diocesan delegate, Father Gambaro, acknowledged that the initial investigation conducted by Bishop Prevost in 2022 was inadequate. Ms Quispe quotes Fr Gambaro as saying: 'The preliminary investigation was a joke. Very poorly done. With formal errors, even.' She adds that, by granting Father Lute a dispensation from the priesthood, Leo XIV has effectively prevented a canonical trial that could have determined his responsibility and provided justice for the victims. And: “Granting a dispense to Eleuterio Vásquez is also especially irresponsible given that there are witnesses who have publicly stated that he frequently took other children to the same …More
Since 1 September 2025, the Greek Catholic Church in Hungary has omitted the 'Filioque' from the Creed during the Divine Liturgy. This decision to abandon a Catholic tenet in order to appease the schismatic Orthodox was announced on Hd.gorogKatolikus.hu. The article argues that, in recent decades, Pope John Paul II prayed with Orthodox patriarchs, omitting the 'Filioque'. It claims that this change is not an innovation, but a return to a text prayed by ancestors. The current version states that the "Holy Spirit [...] proceeds from the Father". However, this can easily be misunderstood. According to the Western Church, the Holy Spirit proceeds "from the Father and the Son". The Eastern fathers said, what is also legitimately formulated, that he proceeds "from the Father through the Son". However, the Holy Spirit does not proceed from the Father alone. #newsBihsfdbpvh
The original form of the Creed does not have the Filioque. Just a reminder - the Creed that is recited as the Nicaean Creed is actually the Nicaean-Constantinopolitan Creed. It was formulated at the 1st General Council in Nicaea in the year 325 and then updated to the modern usage at the 2nd General Council known as 1st Constantinople in the year 381. Look up both versions - they are very different from each other. The 381 Creed can be read in full here in English translation: CHURCH FATHERS: First Council of Constantinople … You will notice that it is very familiar, but in the original form it does not have the Filioque (proceeds from the Son). Do a double take on that. Common Roman Catholic thought these days is that the Filioque is necessary. But including the Filioque is not what the General Council (which was an authoritative body of the assembled Church in a decision in union with the Pope of Rome) established. Remember from our Church history that the first use of the …More
Pope Leo XIV has issued a new Apostolic Letter titled In unitate fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), calling Christians to renewed "dialogue" and "unity". Released on Sunday to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, the document contains the usual word salad about "shared foundations" of the Christian faith. Next Friday, Leo XIV and the controversial Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew will visit Nicaea, near today’s Iznik in Turkey. Credo in pluralitatem Ecclesiarum In the new letter, Leo XIV writes that Christian unity is not about “returning” to the past, but about “an ecumenism that looks to the future, that seeks reconciliation through dialogue.” He even speaks - contrary to the Faith in the ONE Church founded by Christ - of a “current status quo of the diversity of Churches and ecclesial communities.” Leo XIV continues: “We must therefore leave behind theological controversies that have lost their raison d’être in order to develop a common understanding and, even …More
