Initiators: Working Group on §218 of the German Criminal Code
Title: Between the Protection of Life and Self-Determination: Positions and Perspectives of the Catholic Women's Association of Germany (kfd) on Section 218 of the German Criminal Code
Introduction
In 2024 and 2025, the Catholic Women's Association of Germany (kfd) undertook a process of opinion formation regarding the treatment of Section 218 of the German Criminal Code (StGB). This paper illustrates the highly controversial discussion and diversity of opinions within the association.
The kfd emphasizes that at the center of the debate on Section 218 is the idea that carrying a child to term is fundamentally of great value. Pregnancy is not merely a biological process but a profoundly human event in which new life can develop. From a Catholic perspective, and also for the kfd, life begins with the fertilization of the egg cell. Every pregnant person who …

Viennese Rosary rapper translates Bible Verses into youth language
With Papal and episcopal blessing, confirmation sponsor and musician Michalitsch aims to encourage young people to explore their faith with curiosity, creativity, and freedom.
The Viennese artist "Freeman Vienna" has already received papal blessing for his "Rosary Rap." At the end of April, Philipp Michalitsch traveled to the Vatican with Bishop Hermann Glettler to present his project to Pope Leo XIV. The song, titled "Mama Mary," features him, along with seminarian Sebastian Cotroneo ("PietroPizzi") and Matthias "Maron" Haberler, interpreting the "Victorious Rosary" in a rap-culture style to bring the Bible verses into the lives of young people. But the Rosary Rap is more than just a song. Freeman wants to pass on the beat—or, you could say, the "beads" (rosary beads)—to young people. Instrumental versions are available on YouTube for anyone who wants to try their hand at Rosary Rap. Video and English translation of …

Vienna Festival Opens Three-Day "Tribunal of Faith"
Jury to Hear Cases of Blasphemy, Cultural Appropriation, and Religious Fundamentalism This Weekend - Criticism of Peter Thiel and His Invitation to the Festival Continues to Spark Controversy
The Vienna Festival opened Milo Rau's three-day theatrical documentary format "The Tribunal of Faith" with an opening session on Friday at the Odeon Theater. Until Sunday, a jury of experts will examine three cases concerning the artistic, institutional, and political appropriation of religion, as well as the misuse of religious practices, symbols, and systems of thought. Under the title "Holy Shitstorm," the boundaries between blasphemy and artistic freedom will be explored on Saturday, while "Stolen Goddesses" will address the culture of appropriation. Fundamentalist theocracies will be the focus on Sunday under the title "Bad Religion." The final decision will be announced in a concluding session.
On Friday, speeches by bestselling author Alice …

Regensburg Bishop forbids Pius X members from planned Episcopal consecrations
Protecting Church order
Pascal Schreiber, rector of the Society of St. Pius X seminary in Regensburg, is slated to be consecrated a bishop along with three other members of the Society. Diocesan Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer has objected.
Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer of Regensburg has forbidden the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X from consecrating four men as bishops. The ordination is scheduled to take place on July 1st in Écône, Valais, Switzerland. The "Mittelbayerische Zeitung" was the first to report this.
One of the candidates is 53-year-old Pascal Schreiber. The Swiss priest has been the rector of the Sacred Heart Seminary of the Society of St. Pius X, located in Zaitzkofen in the Diocese of Regensburg, since 2020.
Since Pope Leo XIV already refused to permit the ordination due to doctrinal differences with the Society of St. Pius X, the candidates and the ordaining bishop face automatic excommunication …
Das ist ein Verbot, von einer Person, die in und für die Gemeinschaft der Priesterbruderschaft nichts zu sagen hat. Warum ein Verbot, das nicht befolgt werden kann.
Als ob er die Macht hätte, dies zu tun. Voderholzer befindet sich in der vom Weinstock getrennten Novus Ordo Rebe und die FSSPX befindet sich seit immer in der von Christus gegründeten katholischen überlieferten Kirche, d.h. sie sind am Weinstock Christi geblieben. Sie brauchen keine Erlaubnis von Voderholzer.

The Jesuits in Liège: Departure and Thanksgiving
Present in Liège since the time of Saint Ignatius, the Jesuits will bid farewell to the "Fiery City" on June 13th. A look back at the history and unique influence of the Jesuit community in Liège.
The first Jesuits arrived in Liège a few decades after the founding of the Society of Jesus (1540). Peter Canisius, a Dutch religious and one of the first members of the Society of Jesus, stayed there for a time. In Liège, the Jesuits founded two colleges during the 16th century: the Collège en Isle (or Walloon Jesuit College) and the English College. In 1828, a few years after the restoration of the Society, the Collège Saint-Servais was founded clandestinely by a diocesan priest. Ten years later, upon becoming a Jesuit, this priest entrusted the Collège Saint-Servais to the Society of Jesus. The institution quickly moved to Rue Saint-Gilles and flourished there.
Other institutions in Liège were founded by the Society of Jesus. For example …

"We Need Volume"
The heavy metal services of a Catholic pastoral assistant near Bruchsal regularly cause a stir and fill the church. Now the band project "Headbangers' Church" is also celebrating a service at the Catholic Congress.
They're a little nervous about how their shouted "Amen!" amidst a brutal sonic onslaught will be received by the congregation.
The heavy metal service on Friday at the Catholic Congress in Würzburg will last an hour. "We have no idea what to expect there or whether people will like it," says Simone Hingst, singer of the Bruchsal-based band project "Headbangers' Church."
She and her bandmates from northern Baden and the Palatinate are preparing in their rehearsal room for their performance at the Catholic gathering: It will be a Catholic service with a sermon, prayers, intercessions, the Lord's Prayer, a blessing, and heavy metal …

First victim after the eviction moratorium ends: a religious order with more than 300 apartments evicts Mariano
"He is the first of a list of 60,000 people who could be evicted from their homes" by the votes of the PP, Vox, and Junts
Last Tuesday, the People's Party (PP), Vox, and Junts per Catalunya joined forces in the Congress of Deputies to overturn the social safety net, which included the eviction moratorium designed to protect vulnerable families. This Thursday, Mariano Ordaz faces the first eviction of the more than 60,000 that could occur after the suspension ends. A 66-year-old resident of the Embajadores neighborhood in Madrid faces eviction from the home he has lived in since birth, the same home his grandmother and parents once shared.
The speculator behind the eviction is the Venerable Third Order (VOT), a Franciscan religious institution that owns more than 300 apartments in central Madrid alone. This speculative accumulation of a basic necessity directly contradicts the …
