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." 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 …Okunengi
Not the Vatican, your excellency, Vatican II. If you would forcefully denounce the most visible false and heretical teachings of the Council, such as Ecumenism, Religious Liberty, Collegialism, and Nostra Aetate, perhaps you might cause some of them in the Vatican to examine their conscience.
Day of the Most Holy Miracle of Santarém In the year 1247, a poor woman lived in Santarém whose husband greatly offended her, going astray with another woman. Tired of suffering, she went to ask a Jewish witch to end her misfortune with her spells. The witch promised her an effective remedy, but for that she needed a Consecrated Host. After much hesitation, the poor woman consented to the sacrilege. She went to the Church of Santo Estêvão, confessed, and asked for Communion. Once she had received the Sacred Particle, she carefully removed it from her mouth and wrapped it in her veil. She quickly left the church and headed for the witch’s house. However, without her noticing, blood began to drip from the veil. Several people saw it and asked the unfortunate woman what wounds she had that were bleeding so much. Extremely confused, she ran home and locked the Miraculous Host inside one of her chests. Later that day, in the afternoon, her husband returned. Deep in the night, both woke up …Okunengi
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit priest Joseph Samedi, 54, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Bangui. The appointment places Fr Samedi alongside Cardinal Dieudonné Nzapalainga, 59, who is only five years his senior. Background to the Appointment Cardinal Nzapalainga has led the Archdiocese of Bangui since 2012 and was made cardinal by Pope Francis in 2016. He rose to international prominence for his interfaith work during the Central African Republic’s civil conflict, particularly through the 'Plateforme des Confessions Religieuses de Centrafrique', a coalition of Christian and Muslim leaders promoting reconciliation. In recent years, however, local and regional reporting has pointed to growing tensions between the Archdiocese of Bangui and the Nunciature in the Central African Republic. The most sweeping allegations have come from journalist Jean-Paul Naïba, who accuses the cardinal of greed, financial misconduct, nepotism, and misuse of church-affiliated NGOs. Regional outlets including …Okunengi
Ken Klippenstein writes on April 24 the truism that the U.S. has long maintained extensive intelligence and security monitoring of the Vatican. The used agencies are the CIA, NSA, FBI, and State Department. - The CIA is represented in the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican and the Agency has been penetrating the Vatican government and diplomatic corps for years. It has human spies working inside the Holy See bureaucracy. - The NSA intercepts Vatican communications, emails, and texts, working independently and through a joint NSA/CIA “Special Collection Service.” - The FBI investigates crimes committed against and by the Vatican. It also regularly provides threat intelligence to the Pope during his travels. FBI documents show that the first Trump administration sought to beef up its coordination with Italian intelligence agencies and Vatican officials on things like cyber security, white collar crime, human trafficking, art theft and other issues. - The State Department closely follows the ins …Okunengi
If Ken Klippenstein is 38 yrs old, then he was 4 yrs old when Bill Clinton became President. During the Clinton Presidency there was a row between JPII and Clinton himself. Clinton promised JPII that he opposed international funding of abortion. Clinton's promises don't come with a guarantee, and soon he “forgot” all about his promise. Afterwards, JPII publicly opposed Clinton's abortion policy. Clinton's reply came weeks later. The US embassy building to the Holy See was closed, and the office(s) moved to the Embassy to the State of Italy. The BS excuse was that it would save money.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giancarlo Dellagiovanna, 64, as Apostolic Nuncio to El Salvador. This follows one of the more unusual diplomatic incidents of the past year. On 15 March 2025, Pope Francis had named Monsignor Dellagiovanna as Apostolic Nuncio to Burkina Faso. He was consecrated as a bishop by Cardinal Pietro Parolin in Rome on 25 April 2025. However, his tenure was unusually brief, lasting only five months. On 15 August 2025, his resignation from the Burkina Faso post was quietly accepted with the appointment of a successor. The resignation remains unexplained. According to the Italian blog Cielo e Roma, the move was allegedly due to health reasons. Dellagiovanna joined the Holy See’s diplomatic service in 2005. He served in the nunciatures of Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Italy, as well as in the Secretariat of State’s Section for General Affairs. In August 2019, AciStampa.com reported that he was Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s ghostwriter. #newsRwxvrvalew
Even stranger is that the Pope has imposed a coadjutor archbishop on Cardinal Nzapalainga, 59, the metropolitan archbishop of Bangui in the Central African Republic, and this archbishop is a heretical Jesuit admirer of Francis who likes to dress up.
St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas Pro death … Saint Thomas Aquinas, in the *Summa Theologiae*, teaches that heretics render themselves worthy not only of excommunication but also of physical extermination. In his *Summa Theologiae*, he writes: "In the case of heretics, two aspects must be considered: one on their part, and the other on the part of the Church. On their part, there is indeed a sin whereby they have merited not only separation from the Church through excommunication, but also exclusion from the world THROUGH DEATH." "However, on the part of the Church, there is mercy in favor of the conversion of those who err; and for this reason, they are not condemned summarily, but rather after a first and second admonition (Titus 3:10), as the Apostle teaches. Yet, after this—should the heretic remain obstinate—the Church, having lost all hope of his conversion, looks to the salvation of others and separates him from herself by a sentence of excommunication. Furthermore, she …Okunengi
Apostate Robert Prevost endorses Bergoglio’s heresies: Through his obstinacy, he once again confirms that he possesses the element of obstinacy which establishes him as a manifest, pertinacious, and formal heretic. Prevost repeats three heresies in a row: the apostate blasphemy that God blesses the sin of sodomy and adultery, and the attack against capital punishment—which has biblical foundations. Note, furthermore, that it was the African bishops who opposed the pro-homosexual pamphlet *Fiducia Supplicans*, and it is upon returning from his anti-apostolic trip to Africa that he endorses it. Prevost again endorses Bergoglio’s heresy of ‘infinite dignity’
Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.

They have been influenced for many years by Pachamama spirituality and liberation theology. As a result, they genuinely believe much of what they promote and speak about. The real issue is that they should never have been allowed anywhere near the Vatican, let alone placed in positions of authority at its very center. Therefore, cardinals and bishops—who *should* know better—are an even greater concern. Lukewarm Catholics are problematic. Lukewarm clergy are even worse. Shame on them.
Chris Jackson rightly wrote (Hiraeth in exile): So what are we supposed to believe? That the Church “long considered” an attack on human dignity to be morally acceptable? That Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors, the Roman Catechism, and centuries of Catholic rulers all endorsed something intrinsically contrary to the dignity of man until Francis, of all people, corrected the moral theology of Christendom?
GROK youwatch It’s not looking good for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Plagued by dismal approval ratings, he has also acquired a reputation for being thin-skinned, censorious, and authoritarian. Last week, the Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg ordered Merz’s office—the Federal Chancellery—to disclose information on proceedings related to alleged insults against him, including which public prosecutor’s offices are investigating the cases and under which file numbers the proceedings are being conducted. In total, this involves approximately 300 cases. The news caused a stir and has the potential to evolve into a full-blown scandal. Most importantly, it has put Germany’s repressive anti-free speech Paragraph 188 of the Penal Code back in the spotlight—something that anyone with an interest in free speech must welcome. The law criminalises insults, defamation, and slander against public figures—i.e., politicians. The court ruling was set in motion, not least, by …
The Vatican has accepted the appeal filed by the Benedictine monks of the Valle de los Caídos against the Spanish government’s planned “re-signification” of the monument, according to Spanish media. The move is being seen as a setback for the pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid, whom critics accuse of having capitulated to the government during negotiations. Cardinal Cobo has repeatedly said that the Archdiocese of Madrid has no authority over the basilica or the Benedictine community and that responsibility lies with the Vatican. The complex includes the Basilica of the Holy Cross and the Benedictine monastery. The Sánchez government’s plans amount to the secularisation of an important Catholic religious sites. The government is expected to present in June the redevelopment project known as “La base y la cruz,” which will lay out the next stage of the redesign. This will coincide with the June visit of Pope Leo XIV to Spain. #newsDrmmbzsumh
The Vatican altered the official Italian transcript of Pope Leo XIV’s 23 April flight remarks, removing the word "infamous". He had used it while discussing homosexual "blessings" in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and describing Pope Francis’ phrase tutti, tutti, tutti as infamous, famous, well known.

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz. He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence. “This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.” And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …Okunengi
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 …
These filthy pigs are filled with the spirit of their Father, Satan and desire nothing more than to destroy innocent children. May God strike them all.
There are now *hundreds* of churches being burnt down in France and Germany every year. Dozens a year in the US and Canada, as well as Britain, Spain and Austria. Christendom is under attack, and nobody can ever name the perpetrators. What is going on?
Short answer? Chastisement. They can but don't want to name the real suspects. Because those are sitting in Rome as in almost all governments in the Once Time Ago Christian west europe.
