A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21. The parish St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline. This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics. However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between long-standing Novus Ordo parishioners and those attending the Latin Mass. this followed the appointment of a new parish priest. Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the newer group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years. Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists. This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish …More
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 7:08 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A mother in Austria has been fined for temporarily keeping her 10-year-old son out of school during a sexual education class. Michaela Vamos-Karandish was fined 110 euros ($128) for keeping her young son out of school for four days in March 2025 after an external sex education workshop was to take place. The workshop’s content had not been disclosed to parents beforehand. In addition, numerous sex education books – the content of which some parents found questionable – were made available in the classroom for unsupervised use by students. According to a report by ADF International, the materials included books such as Lina, the Explorer and My First Sex Education Book, which contain explicit depictions of sexual practices. Some of the books also depicted modern views on gender and family, incompatible with nature and traditional teaching. The mother argued that these violated the principle of neutrality in public schools. In a book …
On 17 April, Portugal’s parliament passed a law banning flags displaying ideologies, parties or associations — including rainbow flags — from public buildings. The law requires these flags to be removed within 30 days. This measure applies to all public institutions and limits the display of foreign flags to official events, in order to reinforce state neutrality. Fines range from €200 to €4,000, with additional sanctions possible.
Le Parlement portugais a adopté une loi interdisant d’installer des drapeaux « idéologiques, partisans ou associatifs » aux façades ou à l’intérieur des bâtiments publics du pays. Cette mesure, qui concerne notamment les drapeaux arc-en-ciel et autres du lobby LGBTQ+, impose à toutes les institutions de retirer tout symbole non officiel dans les 30 jours suivant sa publication. Ce projet de loi, présenté par le CDS-PP (Parti populaire démocrate-chrétien ), a été adopté le vendredi 17 avril lors d’un vote final, avec le soutien du Parti social-démocrate (PSD), du parti souverainiste de droite Chega. Le parti Initiative libérale s’est abstenu et tous les partis de gauche et d’extrême gauche ont voté contre. La nouvelle loi interdit expressément les drapeaux de mouvements idéologiques, partisans ou de protestation, d’associations civiles ou privées (même légalement constituées), de clubs sportifs et de causes temporaires. Elle proscrit également les drapeaux étrangers, …
23.04.2025 THE ARCHBISHOP OF MILAN AND THE SSPX WERE NOT THERE AT THE MILAN MEETING : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS CONSERVATIVE 1. Pope Leo and the SSPX are in schism with the Magisterium of the 16th century on extra ecclesiam nulla salus, with no exceptions. The Council of Florence 1442 also did not mention any exceptions for EENS. 2. Pope Leo and the SSPX are in schism with the times of Augustine and Aquinas, on the Creeds (Nicene, Athanasius and Apostles). They interpret LG 16 as being a physically visible case. 3. Pope Leo and the SSPX are in schism on the Catechisms. There is a rupture with Tradition. In the Catechism of Pope Pius X, 29Q is not an exception for 24Q and 27 Q for me as it is for them. 4. For Pope Leo and the SSPX ‘the passages in red’ contradict ‘the passages in blue’ but not for me. The passages in red (AG7, LG 14 etc) are hypothetical cases and not explicit examples of salvation outside the Church. So they do not contradict EENS and the blue orthodox passages …More
On 22 April, ElWanderer.com wrote that one of the most painful legacies of Francis’s pontificate was the bishops he left the Church. In Argentina, Francis appointed 67 bishops, choosing them from among priests who lacked the most basic and essential qualities. On at least three occasions, Francis appointed bishops in Argentina who accepted the nomination but then renounced their consecration weeks later. The rumoured reason was 'skeletons in the closet'. The same happened with the failed Indonesian bishop, Pascalis Syukur: he was chosen as a cardinal by Bergoglio in 2024, gladly accepted the designation, but resigned a few days later. It later emerged that he had been in a romantic relationship with a woman with whom he had two children. It seems likely that Francis appointed bishops from among priests he found personally agreeable or with whom he had some affinity. ElWanderer gives another example. All of the Jesuits who formed the Bergoglian group in the 1980s are now bishops. During …More
I suspect the followers of their new religion, and Conciliarism most certainly Is a new religion, would absolutely disagree. Virtually all post-Vatican II appointees are faithfully following the false and heretical teachings of the Second Vatican Council.

The Vatican is pressing forward with the plan to reshape the Church into a more participatory, consultative body with shared decision-making across multiple levels, according to a report by katholisch.de on April 21. On April 17, the General Secretariat of the Synod convened the XVI Ordinary Council in an online session chaired by Cardinal Mario Grech. The meeting opened with a prayer led by Sister Nathalie Becquart. Council members reviewed progress on implementing the final document of the Synod on Synodality and examined ongoing work by study groups. A key next step will be a preparatory meeting at the Vatican from June 23–25, aimed at translating the Synod’s 2024 conclusions into concrete action at the continental level. This implementation phase is scheduled to run through spring 2028. Participants in June will include leaders of major continental episcopal bodies (CELAM, CCEE, and SECAM) alongside representatives of Eastern Catholic patriarchates and delegations from the bishops …More
Wed Apr 22, 2026 - 11:58 am EDTWed Apr 22, 2026 - 3:41 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — While celebrating Pope Francis’ “birth into heaven” on the first-year anniversary of his death, Pope Leo XIV said his predecessor took up the legacy of the Second Vatican Council. In a message delivered by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major, Leo honored Francis yesterday as a “devoted shepherd,” saying that he, “in continuity with his predecessors, took up the legacy of the Second Vatican Council,” Vatican News reported. Leo’s remarks were given on the first year anniversary of Francis’ death, a day which Leo called Francis’ “birth into heaven,” in the assumption not only that Francis was headed toward heaven, but that he went straight there as a saint. This assumption contradicts Catholic tradition by which, for the good of the deceased, one prays for their souls in the hope of salvation and for deliverance from purgatory. The assumption that Pope Francis was …
Struggling with the same sin doesn't mean you’ve lost your faith; it means you’re still in the fight. Shame tells you to hide from God until you're "clean," but grace invites you to run to Him while you're still weak. youtube.com/watch?v=DyyNqukj9qI
04/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. War is good in only one instance: when it is successfully prevented. Of course, every state has the right to defend itself against aggression. There is no point in debating that. Even a state under attack has a duty to do everything in its power to avoid war. And by that I do not mean that one should give in to the enemy’s threats. Such a submissive attitude usually provokes even greater aggression. In my opinion, Iran has provided an excellent example in recent decades of how to avoid war. If you’ve read that Iran sought to build a nuclear bomb and thereby threatened the civilized world, then you’ve read that. And if you believe it, that speaks to your thoughtlessness and your susceptibility to primitive propaganda. Such a mainstream claim has just as much to do with the truth as COVID-19 has to do with a pandemic—namely, nothing at all. A young Pakistani artist paid tribute to the slain leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, by creating an …
Since legalising euthanasia in 2016, Canada has recorded about 95,000 deaths under the Medical Assistance in Dying programme (MAiD). Starting in 2027, the programme is set to expand further to include people suffering from mental illness. Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto has appealed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Members of Parliament to block the expansion. He warned of the pressure vulnerable individuals could face, adding: "A society is rightly judged by how it cares for its most vulnerable members."
Cardinal Frank Leo, the metropolitan archbishop of Toronto yesterday sent a letter "to Prime Minister Carney and all federal Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Archdiocese of Toronto asking for their support of Bill C-218 and decrying the rapid expansion of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Bill C-218 is a private members’ bill currently before Parliament that would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027." The terrible law itself needs to be stopped. Since euthanasia was legalized in Canada in 2016, over 20,000 Canadians have been killed. Abortion kills 100,000 unborn babies each year, all paid for by Canada Health. Did you know that the yearly number of deaths in Canada will soon surpass the number of births? There is no future of any kind in that coming …
