Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz. He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence. “This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.” And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …વધારે

The Vatican altered the official Italian transcript of Pope Leo XIV’s 23 April flight remarks, removing the word "infamous". He had used it while discussing homosexual "blessings" in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and describing Pope Francis’ phrase tutti, tutti, tutti as infamous, famous, well known.

The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, commented on the July 1 episcopal consecrations in an in-house interview with LaPorteLatine.org. Key lines. - The episcopal consecrations… are not a rebellion, but the response to a cruel necessity. - Cardinals Gerhard Müller, Robert Sarah, and other bishops suffer from a typically modern malaise: an inability to reconcile the demands of faith with those of canon law, leading to a kind of paralyzing dichotomy. - The FSSPX holds that these principles must not simply be juxtaposed, but hierarchized - one subordinated to the other. - The ‘rigorous’ canonists still consider the FSSPX schismatic — this is how one must understand the statements of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. - Bishop Athanasius Schneider has shown great courage and freedom of speech… his support will go down in history. - I thank Bishop Joseph Strickland for his message full of strength, clarity, and courage. - Bishop Vitus Huonder,…વધારે

Since 2023, the pro-homosex group New Ways Ministry has held three two-day meetings with US bishops to promote homosexualism, reports NCR Online (22 April). The gatherings took place at Georgetown University, St. Louis University, and the Siena Retreat Centre in Racine, Wisconsin. Seventeen bishops attended these programmes, with many being present at more than one conference. The meetings were held under the 'Chatham House Rule', which permits the sharing of information and topics discussed at the meeting. However, the names of attendees remain confidential unless a participant explicitly permits their participation or comments to be shared. Creating a pro-homosexual Church The meetings were intended for bishops who were willing "to create a more welcoming church". Bishops listened to emotional stories from gay priests, lesbian nuns, and transvestites. After one meeting, Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee said, "Dialogue and listening are essential to learning and understanding. Once …વધારે
04/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. War is good in only one instance: when it is successfully prevented. Of course, every state has the right to defend itself against aggression. There is no point in debating that. Even a state under attack has a duty to do everything in its power to avoid war. And by that I do not mean that one should give in to the enemy’s threats. Such a submissive attitude usually provokes even greater aggression. In my opinion, Iran has provided an excellent example in recent decades of how to avoid war. If you’ve read that Iran sought to build a nuclear bomb and thereby threatened the civilized world, then you’ve read that. And if you believe it, that speaks to your thoughtlessness and your susceptibility to primitive propaganda. Such a mainstream claim has just as much to do with the truth as COVID-19 has to do with a pandemic—namely, nothing at all.

On the return flight to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the decision of Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, to enforce "blessings" for homosexual couples in his archdiocese. Leo XIV replied: "First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. …વધારે

On 17 April, Portugal’s parliament passed a law banning flags displaying ideologies, parties or associations — including rainbow flags — from public buildings. The law requires these flags to be removed within 30 days. This measure applies to all public institutions and limits the display of foreign flags to official events, in order to reinforce state neutrality. Fines range from €200 to €4,000, with additional sanctions possible.
Le Parlement portugais a adopté une loi interdisant d’installer des drapeaux « idéologiques, partisans ou associatifs » aux façades ou à l’intérieur des bâtiments publics du pays. Cette mesure, qui concerne notamment les drapeaux arc-en-ciel et autres du lobby LGBTQ+, impose à toutes les institutions de retirer tout symbole non officiel dans les 30 jours suivant sa publication. Ce projet de loi, présenté par le CDS-PP (Parti populaire démocrate-chrétien ), a été adopté le vendredi 17 avril lors d’un vote final, avec le soutien du Parti social-démocrate (PSD), du parti souverainiste de droite Chega.

Elle proscrit également les drapeaux étrangers, …
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 3:56 pm EDTThu Apr 23, 2026 - 4:43 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online. Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.” “The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote. “The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …
A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21. St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline. This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics. However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest. Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years. Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists. This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …વધારે
A dying Novus Ordo parish is given a Latin Mass, which naturally explodes in popularity. A few influential Novus parishioners get jealous, make up bogus accusations, and run the trads out of town. Now the parish is basically closed, and they call it a success. Sound familiar?
This homosexual, Marxist, and Masonic sect—which worships false gods—hates the Traditional Holy Mass, because said Mass was declared the Official Mass of the Church until the end of time. Conversely, the *Novus Ordo* Mass permits the changes that modernist heretics—infiltrated within the Second Vatican Council—introduced under the pretext of ecumenism; an ecumenism that promotes neither the conversion of Jews who reject their Messiah, nor that of idolatrous Muslims and followers of other false religions, but rather a Masonic fraternity in which polytheism is promoted. And a false peace with those who reject the Prince of Peace. A false UNITY wherein false gods are equated with the Most Holy Trinity (such as the false god Allah), and wherein Christ is not considered necessary as Redeemer. For this reason, no effort is made to ensure that idolaters convert, believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are baptized. The synodal sect promotes the notion that Christ is no longer necessary …વધારે

Once, along the banks of a winding river, lived an old fisherman and his family. Fishing was the only life they knew, passed down through generations. There was a time when the river was generous, and they lived comfortably. But those days were long gone. The river had grown thin, and their wealth had vanished. The fisherman couldn't afford a new boat, and his old one was held together by nothing but luck and prayer. Every morning, instead of fishing, he spent hours patching the leaks just to keep it afloat for one more day. One evening, a wise old traveler knocked on their door, asking for a place to stay. Despite their poverty, the family welcomed him with open hearts. They shared their meager dinner—hardly enough for themselves—and gave him the warmest spot in the house to sleep. In the morning, as the sage prepared to leave, he turned to the fisherman. "Thank you for your hospitality. I wish to repay you. Ask me for anything." The fisherman looked at the old man, who seemed even …વધારે
"The august Mary comprehended how important it was that St. Joseph should have to endure this affliction, by which his spirit was exercised and prepared for the great charge that was to be confided to him. He had now passed two months of suffering, and, overcome by his apprehensions, he exclaimed: ‘I find no remedy for my grief but absence. I acknowledge that my spouse is perfect, but it is not possible for me to penetrate the mystery of her condition, and I will not insult her virtue by subjecting her to the penalties-of the law. I will depart forthwith.” The saint resolved to set out during the night. He therefore prepared a small packet of clothing. Having received a trifling sum of money which was due to him for work, he determined to leave the house after midnight."

"And as he /Joseph/ preserved silence, not seeking consolation elsewhere, (as men usually do,) the sufferings of the saint were naturally more intense. The heart of the gentle Mary was penetrated by a sorrow not less profound; but she resolved to redouble her cares for the health of her spouse. She continued to conceal the mystery which she had no command to disclose, in order to honor and to preserve the secret of the celestial King. So far as regarded herself, she left nothing undone to promote his comfort—entreating him to remind her of anything which might contribute to restore his declining health."
