The German Bishops’ Conference gave Leo XIV a "very clear vote in favor of the female diaconate", Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg told Mainpost.de on May 19. Now it is up to Leo XIV "to decide how things proceed," Bishop Jung added. The issue remains on the agenda and, in his view, it will "not be pushed aside from anytime soon".

The feminists will not be satisfied with being thrown a bone. They will become deconettes and then still demand that women be allowed in the priesthood. The German churchmen will accompany them on this.
Archbishop Marcelo Colombo of Mendoza, president of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, has denied receiving any formal reprimand from the Vatican regarding the reception of Holy Communion, according to a report by InfoVaticana.com. The controversy began after ElWanderer.com claimed last week that both Archbishop Colombo and Bishop Gabriel Barba of San Luis had been reprimanded by the Vatican because they had prohibited kneeling to receive Communion. Archbishop Colombo described the reports as “a lie” and “fake news”. Speaking to Radio María, Archbishop Colombo insisted that 'there is nothing' to the story, adding that he had never received any official communication from the Vatican on the matter.

Worse than Germany: During Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain in June, the Archdiocese of Madrid will not be providing confessionals at any of the large-scale events or during the youth vigil. Instead, 'listening spaces' staffed by lay pastoral workers who have received specific training for this purpose. These spaces will be located along Paseo de la Castellana. Sara de la Torre, the press speaker for the Archdiocese of Madrid, told the Substack.com account ‘The Pillar’ that the “listening spaces” do not replace confessions, but complement them. Catholics should look to confess at any of Madrid's many parishes. The “listening spaces” are intended for those who wish to have a conversation, and are “something different”. On 6 June, during the youth vigil in Plaza de Lima, there will be no confessionals. At previous church gatherings in recent decades, such as World Youth Days, the presence of priests hearing confessions was at least a sign of Catholicism and the sacrament of reconciliation. …Mwy

Cardinal Tucho Fernández, head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, is preparing yet another blah-blah Vatican document about the “transmission of the faith.” According to ElConfidencialDigital.com (May 19), the upcoming document will focus on: - why faith is no longer being passed from one generation to another in many countries, - possible causes for declining religious practice and belief, - the importance of liturgy, - the “deepening of the question of inculturation, so present in Saint John Paul II.” The document is being prepared in consultation with bishops’ conferences worldwide and in collaboration with the Dicastery for Evangelization. Leo XIV Keeps Tucho, a Rumoured Homosexual, in Office On September 18, 2023, the Argentine Sister Lucía Caram claimed on the Spanish TV program 'Cuentos Chinos' on Telecinco that Francis had appointed a practicing homosexual to “one of the most important dicasteries” of the Roman Curia dealing with protection issues, apparently …Mwy
I give them a lot of credit. What they do is amazing. Pro-Lifers Destroy the “Babies Are Parasites” Argument Sign the pro-life petition to defund Planned Parenthood here Defund Planned Parenthood to End Abortion NOW Ready for a rematch, TFP Student Action returned to Millersville University to defend the unborn and oppose the culture of death. Although universities are supposed to be places where science, reason, and truth prevail, many woke students on campus appeared more interested in relativism and emotional slogans than in objective moral truth. Pro-abortion students made shocking claims: · “An unborn human is like a tumor.” · “I was a parasite before I took my first breath.” · “That white men make up moral absolutes.” In traditional TFP style, Student Action volunteers responded to the rudeness and racism with chivalry, charity, logic, and the simple facts. A pro-life college student voiced her support for the campaign saying: “I believe that when a child is conceived, there …Mwy
The 1986 video of John Paul II in Fiji is currently going viral again online. During his visit to Suva, the Pope was welcomed with a traditional yaqona (kava) ceremony: indigenous, half-naked Fijian chiefs in ceremonial dress sat around the large communal tanoa bowl while kava - a ritual drink made from the root of the yaqona plant - was mixed and served to the Pope in a coconut-shell cup. These ceremonies were not merely social gatherings, but tied to chiefly authority, reconciliation rites, and connection to the ancestral world.

This alone would disqualify him for sainthood but Newchurch couldn't care less about that. Newchurch has an agenda and making all the modernist popes saints is part of the agenda.
Congressmen Thomas Massie has lost primary in KY to a Trump yes man. AIPAC and other Jewish billionaires have spent $25 million to cancel him. Mr. Massie is a pro Americans in the Congress and pushed legislation regarding the Epstein Transparancy Act. Trump bullied and slandered the man. Just like Marjorie Taylor we have lost another true American.
Just so people know. The democrats did not donate 80% to Massie. That's a lie from fake news, the forked tongue beast and fake checkers and who knows who else. Research the truth. Because that is a lie! Some people want to believe in lies and don't research because it makes them feel better to attack a REAL AMERICAN! AN AMERICAN WHO HAS THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT HIS POCKET LIKE the beast.
Worse than Germany: Bishop Vincenzo Viva of Albano, Italy, spoke on May 16 at the Parish of Santa Maria Stella during a homosexual "prayer", as Outreach.faith reports. Main quotes, slightly shortened while preserving his pro-homosexual tone. - For the first time, the Diocese of Albano is holding a "prayer vigil" against homophobia and transphobia, recognizing the "suffering" these attitudes have caused within both the Church and society. - This diocese wants to continue this effort alongside other dioceses in Italy, moving forward cautiously but deliberately, inspired by the recent Synodal process. - The day when it is no longer necessary to hold vigils like this will be the day when every person is recognized - and I use this word with full awareness and deliberation - as a living, original, irreplaceable part of the Body of Christ. - I do not wish to speak this evening of welcoming, but of recognition and full integration. - Welcoming presupposes that someone arrives from the outside …Mwy
Ah -- and the "city of seven hills" will be no more as prophesied! These apostate clerics will be the cause of the city of Rome being destroyed because of its sexual filth!
The sodomite heretics quote themselves. Meanwhile, so many priests, bishops, and laypeople who claim to defend the Church perpetuate this farce by recognizing the head of this gay mafia—which rebels against God— as their Pope.
A calendar featuring close-ups of young, handsome priests has been a popular Rome souvenir for two decades. However, many of those photographed aren't actually priests.

Firing Squads Expose the Brutality of the Death Penalty May 18, 2026 nytimes.com/…opinion/death-penalty-firing-squad-e… By Maurice Chammah Mr. Chammah is a staff writer at The Marshall Project and the author of “Let the Lord Sort Them: The Rise and Fall of the Death Penalty.” There is no tidy way to kill someone. But for the last century, Americans have searched for a way to carry out the death penalty that minimizes suffering while lessening trauma for executioners and witnesses. Those efforts have gone so poorly that we’re returning to a visceral execution method from the past. Last month, the Justice Department encouraged federal prison officials to consider execution by firing squad amid a nationwide struggle to secure lethal injection drugs. South Carolina has already used firing squads three times recently, placing a hood over the prisoner’s head and firing rifles at a red bull’s-eye placed over the heart. Four other states have authorized the method, and Idaho is renovating…Mwy
Fabio on the illegal immigrant crisis in Europe: "Everything is free for them. The law doesn't apply to them. Jails are full; they get arrested, released the next day, commit more crimes, and they get away with murder every day."
1 Peter 5 posts the full February 12, 2026 interview of canon lawyer Marc Balestrieri JCL by Matt Gaspers. A lot of ground was covered: Are episcopal consecrations conducted without papal approval intrinsically schismatic? Does canon law say anything about cases of “necessity”? Could a canonical case be made that the men involved would not be liable to automatic excommunication due to their sincere belief that they acted out of necessity? Will SSPX priests still have the faculties necessary for the sacraments of Penance and Matrimony following the unauthorized consecrations?
When Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), consecrated four bishops in 1988 against the will of Pope John Paul II, he famously referred to his act as “Operation Survival” during his sermon for the occasion: It is not for me to know when Tradition will regain its rights at Rome, but I think it is my duty to provide the means of doing that which I shall call ‘Operation Survival,’ operation survival for Tradition. Today, this day, is ‘Operation Survival.’ If I had made this deal with Rome, by continuing with the agreements we had signed [see here for context], and by putting them into practice, I would have performed ‘Operation Suicide.’ There was no choice, we must live! This past February, current SSPX Superior General Fr. Davide Pagliarani decided that the time has come for the SSPX to consecrate more bishops, after writing to Pope Leo XIV and receiving no answer: “We believe that the time has come to think about the future of the Society of …
Today, the Vatican’s Secretariat of the Synod released another document, 18 pages long, outlining the implementation phase of the Vatican’s synod. It follows a May 18 meeting between Cardinal Mario Grech, the secretary general of the Synod, and Pope Leo XIV. The text claims that synodality is “a constitutive dimension of the Church” (Page 9). It says that the final reports of the synod study groups “should be received and integrated” into the ongoing discernment process. One of these reports — Synod Study Group 9 — included testimonies from homosexuals as well as pro-homosexual language. At the upcoming assemblies, the document suggests broad inclusion of all kinds of people, including a “balance between men and women” and people living in “situations of fragility or marginality” [= homosexuals]. The document further recommends involving voices “not directly traceable to ecclesial structures.” And: “It might also be worth considering inviting representatives of other Christian …Mwy
