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.
Pápež Lev XIV. sa počas svojej návštevy Kamerunu 16. apríla stretol na apoštolskej nunciatúre v Yaoundé s dvanástimi zástupcami miestnych islamských komunít. Viacerí z moslimských predstaviteľov sa už predtým stretli s pápežom v Ríme v decembri 2025, čo naznačuje pretrvávajúce vzťahy.
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 …More
Mass migration into Europe’s aging and largely defenseless societies is a social Darwinist experiment, and it doesn’t take much imagination to foresee its outcome.
Thus, the Promoter of Justice’s rejection Cionci’s access request amounts to something of a “domani” reply, as the Italians might say, or a “tomorrow” reply. The rejection of access is, in the Italian way of doing things, a polite way of saying “no,” or of saying “we’re not touching this nonsense with a ten foot poll” without actually saying it. It’s the polite, Roman way. That is what I think is really happening here. In sum, it is “much ado about nothing.”
A nice gesture: Cameroon’s prime minister welcomes Pope Leo with a colorful drink. Cheers to a fruitful trip! We don’t actually know what he was served… any guesses?

Bishop Barron had followed provocative male accounts on his Facebook. Word on Fire explained it away, saying he had been the subject of a recent hack. The problem? He had followed similar accounts, going at least as far back as January 2024...

Foley admitted that it is difficult for him to have faith, “especially now because of all the bad things that have happened to me,” though he accepts Catholic teaching about the sacraments. His condition makes it difficult for him to move, and he can no longer eat or drink, receiving his nourishment from IV fluids. On top of this, he has suffered pain, severe fatigue, and cognitive decline, as well as cruel behavior from hospital staff.
Mon Apr 13, 2026 - 11:55 am EDTMon Apr 13, 2026 - 10:57 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A disabled man known for speaking out against Canada’s aggressive euthanasia regime recently received sacraments, including Extreme Unction, from a traditional Catholic priest. Roger Foley, who suffers from an incurable and degenerative brain disease, told LifeSiteNews that he welcomed the opportunity to have a priest visit after a period of health decline despite the fact that he has long been irreligious. “It was a very wonderful experience,” Foley said regarding the visit. “I felt honored and humbled, especially with the kindness and knowledge of the priest. I would tell him how confused I am, and he would tell me more about the Catholic faith. He answered a lot of my questions.” Foley admitted that it is difficult for him to have faith, “especially now because of all the bad things that have happened to me,” though he accepts Catholic teaching about the sacraments. His condition makes it difficult …
No one has ever been able to agree about what exactly we are required to accept from Vatican II. Even the particular innovations of it (such as religious liberty) are understood very differently by different theologians and bishops, with precious little indication of, or conflicting accounts of, the "correct" reading.
The Mass in the Roman rite touches on the very idea of tradition in the Church, Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, president of the French bishops, told KTO on April 5. Bishops are called to show “pastoral solicitude” toward those Catholics: “First, to welcome them. It is not about judging them.” He added that this welcome should not begin by trying to redirect them and “not to say: 'they should go elsewhere or do it differently'.” At the same time, Cardinal Aveline emphasized that this welcome must remain within the framework of official Church structures: “Tradition goes all the way to the last council, including the Second Vatican Council.” Cardinal Aveline added that the liturgy and Vatican II “is not necessarily irreconcilable” as there is “a hermeneutic of continuity”. Councils “do not abolish previous ones.” On the announcement of episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X., Cardinal Aveline spoke of “a cause of sadness.” He believes: “It is …More
When Vatican Council II is interpreted rationally it is traditional and ecclesiocentric. It is aligned with the ecclesiology of the Papal States in Europe. So in harmony with Tradition, it is in harmony with the Catholic Church of the 1930's.So Collegiality, Liturgy, Ecumenism, Mission, Dialogue etc are no more controversial for conservative Catholics.

Cardinal Arinze: "the priest has a key role in the celebration of the Mass, but if he behaves badly, if he introduces into the Mass parts that are not approved, or eliminates parts that are approved, he harms the Church"
I agree but, what if the Vatican does it? Father Denzil Mueli in his essay titled "Res Sacramenti," clearly shows that, when the modernists rendered the Novus Ordo Mass into the English vernacular, they also rendered it invalid!
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 …

“We were already lost. And the only thing that could save us is if the Pope (Benedict XVI) dies, and he hasn't died, he resigned, oh thank God, and Bergoglio has saved us” Kiko Argüello, founder of the Neocatechumenal Way
Kiko Arguello and the Neo Cathechumenale Way interprets Vatican Council Ii irrationally and schismatically and not rationally and traditionally. If he interpreted Vatican Council II rationally he would be a Feeneyite on extra ecclesiam nulla salus. It would mean during the Catechesis of the Way, it would have to be said that the Catholic Church is like the Ark of Noah, a boat, in which all need to enter for salvation. Now at the catechesis which I attended they say in the past it was taught the Church was like a boat in which all need to enter, but now it is taught that all do not need to enter. It is with this error that the Way does mission. 08.04.2026 CARDINALS FERNANDEZ, LADARIA, O’MALLEY, BISHOP LIBASCI AND FR. LAIRE LIKE CARDINAL RATZINGER, INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II UNETHICALLY AND SCHISMATICALLY. The popes from Pius XII to Leo XIV have been in schism on a particular point. With Vatican Council II and the Catechism interpreted rationally they become Feeneyite traditionalists …More
