Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together. They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly. “When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern. I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time. Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using …More
Skip to content Medforth AI A network of migration lawyers in Italy is allegedly gaming asylum laws by presenting migrants as gay or at risk of family persecution to halt deportations, an investigation by Il Giornale claims. The paper also alleges that the lawyers tell migrants to say they would face persecution from their families if they returned home. One Bologna lawyer told the paper: If a migrant is Nigerian, everything is focused on homosexuality. It’s claimed that their client is gay and that if repatriated, he or she will face persecution. If, however, the detainee is of another nationality, the focus is on the family harassment he or she would face if returned to his or her homeland. It’s a fixed pattern. Journalist Matt Carus described this as proof that “we’re beyond human rights, we’re at organised fraud,” and said the state—and, indeed, the Italian taxpayer—was being “taken for a ride.” Lega MEP Silvia Sardone, who says the Left “want[s] our country invaded by …
Acts 11:19-26 We observe that the first Apostles and disciples are on their way proclaiming that Jesus is Lord. Let us go everywhere to evangelize that God loves us; his joy and his peace are within us. John 10:22-30 "The Father and I are one." The number one is God. God is Love. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources. This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988." The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act". Excommunication of entire FSSPX ? Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour. Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops". Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism …More
'Olive branches' and 'synodality' for heretics and apostates but excommunication for those who have 'gone astray' by following the orthodox teachings of the Church for nearly 2 millennia?! Something looks awry. Pray for the Holy Father that he may need the Holy Spirit more fruitfully.
"I asked what the colored edges of these dew eddies portended, and was given as an explanation the example of the mother-of-pearl shells in the sea which also bore edges of shining color; they expose themselves to the sun, absorbing the light and cleansing it of color until the pure white pearls take form in their centers. It was shown to me, too, that this dew and the rain that followed it was something much more than the ordinary refreshing of the earth by moisture. I was given clearly to understand that, without this dew, the coming of the Blessed Virgin would have been delayed by more than a hundred years; whereas, after this softening and blessing of the earth, nourishment and refreshment were imparted to the human beings who lived on the fruits of the soil; the blessing communicated itself to their bodies and ennobled them. This fructifying dew was associated with the coming of the Messiah, for I saw its rays penetrating generation after generation until they reached the substance …More
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer] “II. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION “2. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN. [Here follow various visions which Catherine Emmerich communicated at different times in the course of her yearly meditations during the octave of the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Though they do not directly continue the story of the Blessed Virgin’s life, yet they throw a remarkable light on the mystery of her election, preparation, and veneration as the vessel of grace. As these visions were related by Catherine Emmerich in the midst of much suffering and many interruptions, it is not surprising if they are somewhat fragmentary in character.] 2.1 THE ANGELS ARE SHOWN THE RESTORATION OF MANKIND. I saw in a wonderful picture that God showed the angels how it was His will to restore mankind after the Fall. At first sight I did not …More

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them. Elena Gorochowa, The Mountain of Crumbs Some attribute this sentence to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It is difficult to arrive at the truth through it, especially when one wants to describe that truth. We know they’re lying. They know they’re lying. We know that they know we know they’re lying. And yet they keep on lying. Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Who is moved by the “truth” that the President of the United States proclaims on TruthSocial or during exchanges with journalists? The Donald Trump Bridge, which the U.S. president just unveiled on truthsocial.com. The disconnect between reality and narrative clearly made an impression on Orwell, who worried that “the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.” The theme of falsified history and the destruction of truth would …
On 24 April, Bishop Joseph Strickland posted a comment on X regarding Pope Leo XIV's response to a question on blessings for homosexual couples in the Archdiocese of Munich during the flight from Africa to Rome. Monsignor Strickland called the distinction between 'formal' and 'informal' blessings, as referenced in 'Fiducia Supplicans', confusing because sin cannot be blessed. Likewise, the suggestion that there are 'greater and more important' moral issues than sexual morality must be understood with great care: "The Church has never taught that sins against chastity are of little importance." "Sacred Scripture and the constant teaching of the Church affirm that sexual morality touches deeply on the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of marriage, and the proper ordering of love." Leo XIV had said that there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, equality, and the freedom of men and women and of religion. Bishop Strickland responded: "The moral law is not …More

"78. ‘I desire also that the holy doctors acquire for themselves much grace, light and glory by their earnest, laudable and sacred study, and that the truth be more and more clearly detected and purified, and be traced to its source. By humbly investigating the mysteries and the admirable works of my right hand, they come to be partakers of them and of the bread of the understanding, the holy Scriptures (Eccli. 15, 3). I have especially shown my Providence in regard to doctors and teachers, although their opinions and doubts have been so diverse and for such different ends. Sometimes, for my greater glory and honor, sometimes for earthly purposes, they are permitted to dispute, and to contradict each other; and there is a great inequality in the manner in which they have proceeded and do proceed to show their emulation and earnestness."
[Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain/ Agreda, Spain; ‘Lady in Blue’; Abess; Writer; Mystic] “Chapter VI, part II ~ CONCERNING A DOUBT, WHICH I PROPOSED REGARDING THE DOCTRINE CONTAINED IN THESE CHAPTERS, AND THE ANSWER TO IT. 75. ‘The existence of different opinions regarding these sacraments and other mysteries in the Church, arises from the fact that I manifest and give light concerning one set of mysteries to some teachers, and illumine others concerning other mysteries; for mortals are not capable of receiving all the light. It is not expedient, that the knowledge of all things be given to one man, as long as men are viators. For also in the state of comprehensors, they obtain them in parts and according to the state and the merits of each. But the plenitude of all gifts is due only to the humanity of my Only-begotten and to his Mother in proper proportion. The other mortals receive it neither entirely, nor is it always given so clearly, as to assure them altogether.…More
Forming Your Children for Chastity: A Letter to Parents: COMMENTARY: Chastity is the power to love well, body and soul. It is a powerful and beautiful virtue and one of the great goods of life, one that is completely worth the price.
By far the worst PM in Canada's history is now lecturing the world on good governance. If it weren't real, this would be humorous. Yes, former PM Justin Trudeau recently spoke in Singapore claiming the old international ties are no longer useful for world trade. There is a need to change economic relationships because of the President of the United States Donald Trump. So, Canada is now forced to economically get closer to Europe and China for trade. Trudeau never tells the audience that he was responsible for the cold shoulder Trump has given Canada. Trudeau and now PM Marc Carney have failed miserably to work effectively with Trump. They both have put their personal hurt feelings and serving the WEF ahead of Canada's security and economic prosperity. This is a mark of failed and incompetent political leadership. Whatever feminist, blackface Trudeau charged to give the speech is too much. His inept ideas are not worth a penny. Yes, he talks lot, but in the end he says little of use.…
When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal consecration in the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X is labelled a schismatic act."
Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing."

France has deployed a squadron of nuclear-capable Dassault Rafale fighter jets to Poland, conducting high-intensity drills that simulate tactical nuclear strikes near the borders of Russia and Belarus. The aircraft, equipped with the supersonic ASMP-A cruise missile capable of delivering a 300-kiloton payload, are operating out of Polish airbases in a move that signals a hardening of Europe’s independent nuclear deterrent. While the French Ministry of Armed Forces emphasizes the drills are "defensive exercises," the forward deployment into Poland represents a strategic shift toward a "European nuclear shield" that operates outside the traditional U.S.-led NATO nuclear sharing framework. Moscow has denounced the move as a direct provocation and "encirclement," as Polish officials reportedly explore deeper integration with France’s nuclear arsenal to counter the evolving threat from the war in Ukraine.
