Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon: “Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”
On April 16, at the Apostolic Nunciature, Pope Leo XIV met with twelve leaders of local Islamic groups of Cameroon who are working with the Church on social justice projects.
Fri Apr 17, 2026 - 12:26 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In a recent interview with Matt Fradd on his podcast Pints With Aquinas, Father John Perricone described how Mother Teresa had once told him that receiving the Holy Eucharist on the hand was the worst evil she had seen in her decades as a religious. During the podcast, which first aired April 13, Perricone recalled having breakfast with Mother Teresa, who had attended his Mass on several occasions, and how he had asked the nun about the most evil thing she had seen in her work with the most vulnerable across the globe. The priest emphasized how, without hesitation, the sainted nun said, “Communion in the hand.” “I remember once I said, ‘Mother, you’ve been in the worst areas, sectors of the world imaginable, and you’ve seen the greatest evils. Tell me, of all the things that you’ve seen, what can you tell me is the worst evil you’ve come across?” he recalled. “I suspected she was going to say abortion or euthanasia, (but) she looked …
—Saint Augustine (born in 354; died in 430—75 years old), who combated heresies, including Arianism (which denied the divinity of Christ), Saint Augustine would also have condemned Muhammad and his false religion of Islam, had he been born and invented in his time. Muhammad (570 AD – 632) However, Saint Augustine was invited to the Council of Ephesus (430) who could not go, as he died on August 30, 430. The Council of Ephesus ( which anathematized anyone who denied the Incarnation of Christ and proclaimed the Christological dogma of the Divine Motherhood of Mary—Theotokos. And since Islam was invented by Muhammad in the year 614, this means that Islam had already been anathematized by the Catholic Church. In other words, The anathema of the Council of Ephesus fell upon Muhammad and his false religion of Islam. Furthermore, Scripture emphatically condemned the denial of the Incarnation as the work of the Antichrist. When Muhammad was 40 years old, he invented Islam. He consolidated …更に表示
On his anti-apostolic journey, Robert Prevost—to endorse the false god of Muhammad, Allah, and his false religion of Islam—dared to instrumentalize Saint Augustine, uttering in his name various lies that contradict the true God, the Scriptures, and the Catholic faith
1. Can God on Quasi modo Sunday ( geniti infantes is a Latin phrase meaning "as newborn infants" or "as newborn babes") provide the means for what essentially is a second baptism? Yes or No? Well yes God can do this. Go to confession and Holy Communion on this one Sunday and I God will forgive all punishment owing for sin. As a new born! God wants you to make a big deal of His Mercy this one Sunday of the year. 2. The Church is so corrupt that God chooses to be directly more Merciful to Catholics than ever before. Where evil abounds, grace abounds more! God makes up for where His Church representatives lack. 3. God says you do this and I will do that! How simple go to confession and Holy Communion on this one day! It’s like go and bath 7 times in the Jordan! Would you?
Dr. Mazza, trying to prove that Bergoglio was never a pope, goes to proving that Ratzinger had never been the pope: "Unfortunately, it appears we are not just dealing with an heretical opinion held by Rahner back in the 1970s, but potentially Joeph Ratzinger too! As Archbishop Vigano recently revealed, he was informed by Walter Cardinal Brandmüller that Professor Ratzinger supported Professor Rahner’s “shared papacy” idea: Brandmüller confided to me in January 2020 in response to a specific question of mine – that Professor Joseph Ratzinger was developing the theory of the Pope Emeritus and a collegial [shared] Papacy with his colleague Karl Rahner in the 1970s when they were both “young theologians.” (emphasis mine) In 1647, Pope Innocent declared that the notion of a shared papacy is heretical." It will be interesting to watch further developments of his investigation. Perhaps they will reach even Montini.
Dr. Edmund Mazza’s Official Statement on the Vatican Investigation into the Putative Partial Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI Itis encouraging to learn that the Vatican has an active criminal investigation into the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, a subject I have labored upon for over seven years. His Excellency, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano first called for an investigation into Pope Benedict’s resignation in 2022: But before discussing the next conclave, it is necessary to shed light on the abdication of Benedict XVI and on the question of the frauds of the 2013 Conclave, which sooner or later will have to give rise to an official investigation. If there were to be proofs of irregularity, the conclave would be null, the election of Bergoglio null, just as all his appointments, acts of government and magisterium would be null. A reset that would providentially bring us back to the status quo ante, with a College of Cardinals composed only of cardinals appointed up to Benedict …
Ah...the Index. And as a "canonist" you surely know that the Index no longer carries any canonical force. Again, no one is forcing anyone to submit to the argument with any appeal to authority. If you honestly seek the truth, simply read the argument with an open mind and see if you can find any errors. May God bless you and lead you to the truth.
So in canon law as in Catholic moral theology, there is the criterion of "extrinsic credibility". The criterion was recognized in order to protect the faithful lest they be seduced by authors who were condemned or placed on the Index by Holy Mother Church. Knowing if the author has been recognized by the Church as being an expert in the field in which he opines adds to his extrinsic credibility. Knowing if the author, on the other hand, has been placed under censure, or is a rascal, also serves the search for the truth. Admittedly, per se, not knowing the degree of extrinsic credibility to be attributed to a proposition doesn't increase the intrinsic credibility of the argument, but it could, per accidens, diminish it.
Bishop Antonio Santarsiero of Huacho, Peru, convened all his clergy last Tuesday in a parish hall and publicly identified his two alleged victims, reports InfoVaticana.com. Furthermore, he asked the priests to sign a document supporting his innocence, which carries no probative value. The bishop stepped aside last Friday as Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference while the case is investigated. The Church’s legal framework runs counter to the bishop’s actions. The motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi requires the protection and confidentiality of reports and forbids interference in investigations. The two alleged victims are a priest who lived with Santarsiero and a former seminarian. Both accuse him of homosexual misconduct and psychological manipulation.

Leo XIV on his flight from Algeria to Cameroon: "I know that in Europe there are many times fears that are present but oftentimes generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race. And in that sense, I would say that we all need to work together. One of the values of this trip is precisely to raise the world's attention to the possibility that dialogue and friendship between Muslims and Christians is possible. I think one of the great lessons that Lebanon can teach the world is precisely showing a land where Islam, Christianity are both present and are respected, and that there is a possibility to live together, to be friends. Stories, testimony, witnesses that we heard even in the past two days of people helping each other, Christians with Muslims, both of whom had their villages destroyed, for example, of saying we can come together and work together. I think those are lessons that would be …更に表示
Acts of the Apostles 5,34-42. A Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the Apostles to be put outside for a short time, and said to them, "Fellow children of Israel, be careful what you are about to do to these men. Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing. After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered. So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him. After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered …更に表示
Apostelgeschichte 5,34-42. In jenen Tagen erhob sich im Hohen Rat ein Pharisäer namens Gamalial, ein beim ganzen Volk angesehener Gesetzeslehrer; er befahl, die Apostel für kurze Zeit hinausführen. Dann sagte er: Israeliten, überlegt euch gut, was ihr mit diesen Leuten tun wollt! Vor einiger Zeit nämlich trat Theudas auf und behauptete, er sei etwas Besonderes. Ihm schlossen sich etwa vierhundert Männer an. Aber er wurde getötet und sein ganzer Anhang wurde zerstreut und aufgerieben. Nach ihm trat in den Tagen der Volkszählung Judas, der Galiläer, auf; er brachte viel Volk hinter sich und verleitete es zum Aufruhr. Auch er kam um und alle seine Anhänger wurden zerstreut. Darum rate ich euch jetzt: Lasst von diesen Männern ab und gebt sie frei; denn wenn dieses Vorhaben oder dieses Werk von Menschen stammt, wird es zerstört werden; stammt es aber von Gott, so könnt ihr sie nicht vernichten; sonst werdet ihr noch als Kämpfer gegen Gott dastehen. Sie stimmten ihm zu, riefen die Apostel …更に表示
"Answer to the third question. ”As to why animals do not have a rational intellect as humans do, I answer you: All things, whatsoever have been created, are for the use of humankind, either for their needs and upkeep or for their formation and correction or for their comfort and humiliation. If brute beasts had a human intellect, they would surely cause trouble to men, and would be of harm rather than of benefit. Therefore, in order that all things might be subject to humankind, for whose sake all things were made, and in order that all things might fear them but that they might fear none but me, their God, for this reason a rational intellect was not given to animals.”
[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] “Interrogation 9 First question. After this was said, the monk appeared on his rung as before saying: ”O Judge, I ask you: Why do you seem unfair in your gifts and graces in that you gave preference to Mary your Mother before every creature and exalted her above the angels?” Second question. ”Why did you give to the angels a spirit without a body and the state of heavenly joy, while to humankind you gave a spirit in an earthly vessel, a tearful birth, a toilsome life and a painful death?” Third question. ”Why did you give humankind a rational intellect and sense, but did not give reason to the animals?” Fourth question. ”Why did you give life to animals and not to other insensate creatures?” Fifth question. ”Why is there not light at night as during day?” Answer to the first question.
