3 days ago DRESDEN, Germany (Reuters) — Thousands of anti-war demonstrators flooded the streets of Dresden on German Unity Day to protest Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government over record defense spending boosts and controversial military recruitment reforms. Protesters carrying banners reading "Diplomats instead of grenades" and waving peace flags challenged Berlin’s expanding defense outlay—set to reach €108.2 billion in 2026—and new Bundeswehr registration rules requiring 18-year-old men to complete military readiness questionnaires. Demonstrators warned that continued NATO arms deliveries to Ukraine and growing confrontation with Moscow risk direct retaliation against European cities. The rally in Dresden—supported by simultaneous demonstrations in Berlin and Stuttgart—highlighted rising public opposition across Eastern Germany against compulsory military service screenings set to begin for young citizens. Russian flags flying, banners read, peace with Russia. And swearing on a banner …Lahi ange
“It felt like a nightmare.” Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet has spoken about the four-year ordeal of being accused of sexual assault, after a Quebec court ruled in his favor in a defamation case and found the allegations against him unfounded. Speaking to Rome Reports on October 7, Ouellet said: “It felt like a nightmare, a very difficult and costly experience, because I had to hire lawyers to defend myself, and this had an impact on my reputation, my moral authority, my health, and many other things.” “I think that today, with all the cases that have been publicized, there's actually a presumption of guilt, and so I felt like I was under this cloud of suspicion and doubt.” “I'm afraid the damage can't really be undone.”

Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco: "There was more unity in the Church when we were living under Summorum Pontificum than we are now under Traditionis Custodes."
Very tense exchange between Bérénice, a doctor of philosophy and professor, and Elwan, a 17-year-old high school student. As he challenges her legitimacy to speak about school, she responds: "This young man is not going to explain to me what a teacher's mission is." Then she recalls what she considers to be the role of the educator: to transmit "the heritage of past centuries" and "the great works." Before concluding, dryly: "I am the possessor of knowledge and you are not. You are a student." A sequence that sums up the debate on authority in school all by itself.
Leo XIV sounds decentralizing: “new paths” for local Churches. At yesterday’s meeting on Amoris Laetitia, Pope Leo XIV spoke of “the (alleged) fruits that Amoris Laetitia has borne in our local Churches.” And then: “It will also help the local Churches to recognize new paths and to involve all the baptized more deeply in the Church’s synodal journey.”
Pope Leo XIV calls on the Church to gather the “fruits” of 10 years of Amoris Laetitia — saying they should nourish the whole Church and help local Churches “recognize new paths.”

Pope Francis appointed Sister Helen Alford as President of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences on 1 April 2023.
At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.

NATO’s generals gather in Kiev The bloc’s top military body has convened in Ukraine despite consistently rejecting the country’s attempts to join Published 7 Oct, 2026 13:23 | Updated 7 Oct, 2026 16:18 Military representatives from all of NATO's 32 members have gathered in Kiev. Ukraine has been trying to join the expansionist military-bloc for years, but has been consistently rejected. The visit by the members of the so-called Military Committee, takes place just a day after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said possible Ukrainian membership of NATO – one of the central issues at the heart of the Ukraine conflict – “is not on the table as we speak.” Moscow has long opposed the US-led military bloc’s eastward expansion and has made Ukrainian neutrality a key condition of any settlement, arguing that NATO’s presence there would pose a direct threat to Russian national security. Ukraine made joining NATO a foreign policy priority following the Western-backed Maidan coup in Kiev in 2014…Lahi ange
“If there’s a bad Novus Ordo Mass, you can’t improve those priests, I’m afraid. So just go anywhere else,” Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Robert Mutsaerts told LifeSite. “I used to think, ‘Support your own parish.’ I’m not saying that anymore … because you might lose your faith there. Go somewhere where you think, ‘This is right, this is authentic, this is true.’” And especially for families: “If you have children or youngsters, go where they’ll meet other young people … at places where they find the sacred, where the liturgy is in order. You need some encouragement. You don’t get it if you’re 18 and all the rest are 80.”
Lo facciamo abitualmente, mia moglie e io, da anni. In particolare la "gestione sanitaria/globalistica COVID" ci ha spinti fortemente a "Qualcosa di pulito e di normale". Spesso trovato - Deo gratias !!
Sometimes it helps to step back and take in the full context. These prelates are sitting, quite literally, in the mouth of a serpentine building, contemplating the fruits of having spent the past ten years telling Catholics that they may receive the Eucharist while divorced and remarried. Is the symbolism is difficult to see?
“Recognizing the work of grace in situations of failure.” Pope Leo XIV opened a Vatican meeting on marriage and family in the Paul VI Audience Hall on October 7, marking the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. Presidents of bishops’ conferences, bishops and experts participate. “In many contexts, a growing distance has emerged between the way sex and intimacy are experienced and the Christian vision of marriage,” Leo XIV admitted. Speaking about "fragility" and "wounded" situations, he asked whether the Church can “recognize the work of grace even in situations marked by limitations, wounds, and apparent failure.”

Ap@statePrevost challenges Christ himself. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Are you not aware that wrongdoers will never inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, extortioners, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
Bishop Heiner Wilmer announces that he will bring to Rome the experience of same-sex couples
German Bishops’ Conference president Bishop Heiner Wilmer says he will bring the “experiences” of homosexual couples to Rome for the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia summit. Wilmer told katholisch.de that he prepared for the meeting, which begins tomorrow, by speaking with homosexuals and adulterers in a "second union". Pope Leo XIV has stacked the meeting’s additional invitees with several pro-homosexual cardinals, including Jean-Claude Hollerich, Blase Cupich, Robert McElroy, Joseph Tobin, Víctor Manuel Fernández, José Cobo Cano and Luis Antonio Tagle. Notably absent from Leo XIV’s 22 additional invitees are prominent critics of developments surrounding Amoris Laetitia, including Dubia Cardinal Raymond Burke and former Curia prefect Cardinal Gerhard Müller.

Francis’s “personal diary” was never a diary. In November, the Vatican publishing house will release The Personal Diary of Pope Francis, edited by Cardinal Fernández. But Dagospia.com claims Francis never kept a diary and destroyed much of his correspondence after handling it - while Fernández received a box of his old agendas. Dagospia questions what these documents really are and calls the “diary” a commercial operation driven by Andrea Tornielli and Lorenzo Fazzini. It argues that papal documents belong to the Holy See and are subject to Vatican archival rules, questioning whether Fernández can publish them this way. It claims officials at the Secretariat of State and Vatican Apostolic Archive have sought explanations, while Vatican canon lawyers have raised objections. Dagospia likens it to a new “Vatileaks” - except this time through official Vatican institutions.
