Both of these things remain true. The year is …More

The EU forces Hungary to allow children access to LGBTQ+ content. The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that Hungary's 2021 law, which restricts the dissemination of content related to homosexuality and gender transition to minors, violates EU law.

The First American Pope Once Marched With Italian Communists Against Reagan’s Missiles — And the Photo Proves It 1983, Comiso, Sicily — the epicenter of NATO’s Double-Track Decision. A freshly ordained American Augustinian, Fr. Robert Francis Prevost, marches arm-in-arm with fellow priests in a demonstration organized by the Italian Communist Party (PCI). Their target? Ronald Reagan’s Ground-Launched Cruise Missiles — the West’s calibrated answer to Soviet SS-20 nuclear blackmail aimed at the heart of Europe. That same priest is now Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff.
