Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Joseph de Metz-Noblat as the Bishop of Verdun in France. Born on 6 February 1959 in Cherbourg, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology. He obtained a licentiate in canon law from the Institut Catholique de Paris, and was ordained as a priest for the Diocese of Verdun in 1987. Leo XIV seems to favor the appointment of pro-homosexual canon lawyers. Public Profile In 2014, Francis appointed Monsignor Metz-Noblat as Bishop of the little-known diocese of Langres, in eastern France. The anti-Catholic magazine Golias described him once as "turning to literature... and terribly bored". He avoids the limelight and is reluctant to take strong public positions. However, he has been involved in one controversy: the baptism register reform in the French church. 2018 Proposal In December 2018, as president of the French bishops’ Council for questions of Canon Law, Bishop Metz-Noblat proposed changing baptismal records from 'father/mother' to 'parents or …Bongata
God did not even spare His own people after they rejected their Messiah, Jesus Christ; much less will He spare these traitors who, acting with malice and full knowledge, blaspheme against the Holy Spirit—just as He did not spare the apostate angels.
Another member of the anti-church—the harlot dressed in purple and scarlet from Revelation chapter 17. This harlot anti-church is described as holding a golden cup filled with abominations and sexual immorality. The apostate church, now led by Prevost, is seducing and leading astray many nations and peoples.
This is the priest who died on the Titanic to hear confessions and administer last rites. Given the opportunity to board a lifeboat on two separate occasions, Father Thomas Byles firmly declined. He chose instead to stay behind, absolving sins and consoling the doomed passengers. Following the vessel's collision with the iceberg, he assembled the remaining crowds on the aft deck. Those who lived through the disaster recalled him standing bravely amid the panic, listening to confessions, granting collective absolution, and reciting the Rosary right up until the ocean claimed the stern. This is the type of story we should elevate, heroic virtue. May the Lord bless us with more holy men possessing the courage of Father Thomas Byles.
I was just mentioning him to my coworkers recently! What a true hero! Those locked in steerage were blessed to have the last rites! It was better for them to save their souls then end up losing them in the States! My blood boils when I think of those Catholics being murdered!
On April 10, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Isaac Jogues Kodjo Agbéménya Gaglo as the new Archbishop of Lomé, Togo. Biographical Outline Born on 7 October 1958 in Kpémé, he was ordained a priest by John Paul II in 1985. He completed his theological studies in Ouidah, Benin, and earned a doctorate in moral theology at the Jesuit-run University of Innsbruck, Austria (1992–1997). Gaglo served as a parish priest, diocesan consultor, and administrator of Aného before being appointed bishop of Aného in 2007. When he visited Geneva, Switzerland, in April 2019, on a pastoral trip to support Togolese priests working in the area, he was dressed in civilian clothes, wearing a light-colored turtleneck sweater with a light-colored blazer. Region Dominated by Vodun The Diocese of Aného is in southern Togo. About 40–60% of the population follows ancestral religious practices; a large share of these are connected to Vodun. In southern Togo, about 30–40% of the population are Catholics and …Bongata
The U.S. birth rate reached a new record low in 2025, according to provisional Vital Statistics data released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Last year, the U.S. recorded only 53.1 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age (ages 15-44), a 1.3% decline from 2024 and a 23% decline from 2007. The decline reflects a social shift as women are choosing to bear children later in life, as well as the combined weight of decades of social changes that undermined the American family. The U.S. birth rate today is so far below historical averages that the total number of annual births is much smaller than in previous years, when the U.S. had a significantly smaller population. For example, there were 4.3 million births in 1961, when the U.S. population was 184 million, slightly larger than the current population of Bangladesh. In 2025, there were only 3.6 million births in the entire U.S., despite a population of 342 million. In 1961, the general fertility rate …
Jesus said “Take and Eat” Most Catholics tell Jesus:“Heck no, I don’t have to obey you Jesus said “Take and Eat” Most Catholics tell Jesus:“Heck no, I know a better way. I will open my mouth and stick out my tongue.”
I guess the Roman Catholic Church was wrong and disobedient then throughout most of her history. And all the Eastern Churches are wrong and disobedient for using various forms of intinction and spoons and forbidding Eastern Catholics from touching the Eucharist with their hands, too. Doctors of the Church, the Early Church Fathers, popes, saints, and encyclicals throughout most of the Church's history were wrong, because they interpreted receiving on the tongue or directly in the mouth as "taking". Well, in that case I'm glad we have the extremely wise and prudent and charitable @chris griffin here, on this online forum, to tell us what the saints and popes and Fathers of the Church and Doctors of the Church were too ignorant to teach us, and to tell us about how we are being prideful for insisting on not desecrating the Eucharist with our hands.

Pro-homosexual Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich has warned that the idea of female ordination would "currently" split the Church. In an interview with VaticanNews.va on 10 April, Cardinal Hollerich referred to the divisions within the Anglican group following the appointment of Sarah Mullally. According to the cardinal, any [impossible] change in access to ordained ministry must come through “the consensus of the whole Church,” not through isolated regional decisions. However, Hollerich claimed a growing frustration among “many” women. For him it is difficult to imagine a Church enduring long-term if “half of the People of God suffer because they have no access to ordained ministry.” Asked about a possible timeline, Cardinal Hollerich said: “I leave that to the Holy Spirit.” In the meantime, he wants to expanding women’s roles in decision-making within the Church. He has three women serving as episcopal delegates in his Archdiocese for consecrated life, the social sector,…Bongata
“I do not think there are many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish.” St. John Chrysostom, Extract from St. John Chrysostom, Homily III on Acts 1:12.
Canada's Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, is another veiled attack on Christian belief. It changes the criminal code to include measures to fight hate propaganda and hate-motivated crimes. The law creates new criminal offences for obstructing and intimidating access to places of worship, schools, seniors' residences and the display of hate symbols in public places. Readers may have already realized the problem with such law: who gets to define the meaning of "hate"? To get a better idea of what the law could mean once passed we can look at the recent guilty decision against Finnish MP Paivi Rasanen. She expressed her Christian views in a pamphlet and for that she was convicted of "insulting" speech. When this happens everyone becomes afraid of speaking openly and freely. Rasanen had written a pamphlet back in 2004 expressing Christian teaching on marriage and human sexuality. The court ruled the publication's content “insults homosexuals as a group.” She did not harass anyone. The …

Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa of Huacho has stepped down as secretary general of the Peruvian bishops’ conference. The move follows homosexual abuse accusations published by InfoVaticana.com. Two independent witnesses accused the bishop of homosexual and psychological misconduct. In a statement posted on X on 9 April, the bishops’ conference said that, in light of the report, Bishop Santarsiero had requested to step aside. He described this as “an act of responsibility towards the institutional mission, in order to dedicate himself to clarifying the truth.” Bishop Santarsiero added that he “categorically” denies the allegations. The statement from the Peruvian bishops’ conference promised “all necessary efforts to clarify the accusations, acting in accordance with established protocols and current legislation, both canonical and civil.” #newsIxrkdohymc
"Upon his return, the most ample promises of obedience were made, but never fulfilled. So the saint again abandoned his rebellious flock, and went to preach the Gospel to the idolaters of Hungary. His success here, however, was not proportionate to his zeal ; and the Bohemians continuing as obstinate as ever, he again re turned to his monastery at Rome."

Kingdom of Naples; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, theologian; Bishop; Doctor of the Church] The Feast Day ~ April 23 “ST. ADALBERT was born in Bohemia, of noble parent age, about the middle of the tenth century. His father, a Slavonian, sent him to study at Magdeburg, under the care of the Archbishop Adalbert ; who placed him in a school, under the direction of a holy monk, named Odericus, where the pupils, by serious attention to their studies, and most exemplary morals, edified one another. Adalbert, having remained nine years in this school, made considerable progress in human sciences, but still more in the science of the saints ; for whatever time was allowed for recreation, he spent in holy prayer, in relieving the poor, and visiting the sick. Having made a copious collection of books, consisting chiefly of the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church …Bongata
