Staff Writer May 4, 2026 News Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors. So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses. The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb. The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.” Chubb …
Agreed! Democrats ARE brainwashed... Any Catholic voting democrat at any moment in their lives, needs to repent of all the babies murdered by the abortion democrat machine they voted for. Anyone who is for abortion is an enemy of God.
On 2 May, the Apostolic Nuncio to Poland, Antonio Filipazzi, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Roman rite on 50 young people close to the Institute of the Good Shepherd in Poland. The ceremony took place at the former Camaldolese church in Bielany, Warsaw. Afterwards, a Mass was celebrated, with the nuncio assisting from the throne. The Institute of the Good Shepherd has been working in the Archdiocese of Warsaw for 10 years. Archbishop Filipazzi is a papal loyalist. He praised Pope Francis in 2025 as an "untiring shepherd of the universal Church" who devoted "all his energy to the Church and to all humanity". #newsRokhnoszqy
This is one of the unknown miracles of the Tilma of Guadalupe: The stars on her mantle aren't decoration, they are a music. The stars on the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe perfectly align with the constellations over Mexico on December 12, 1531. The stars are arranged in emmission (as if viewed from outside the solar system, looking toward Earth) rather than reflection (as seen from Earth's surface looking up). But there is a hidden code. If you take the position of the stars and the flowers on her dress and place them on a musical staff, they create a perfect, harmonious melody. It is literally a song from Heaven. Listen:
When The Holy Spirit Confronts Your Sin... The Gospel reading discusses the role of the Paraclete, or Advocate, who will convict the world of sin, justice, and judgment. This conviction applies to those who refuse to follow the Lord, but those who have received the gift of faith are called to act on it. This involves accepting the fullness of truth, practicing meekness, and rejecting anger, malice, and uncleanness, as these hinder the reception of God’s word. God has chosen and loved us, and our response should be to love and serve Him. This love is demonstrated through living a righteous life, free from sin and injustice, and conforming ourselves to the truth of God’s teachings. To achieve this, we need the Holy Spirit to guide us, and we should pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts and help us overcome obstacles. Fr.

In his book Popes, Dollars, and War, Italian journalist Massimo Franco claims that Leo XIV was elected, in part, to help bring American donors and dollars back to the Vatican. Franco found an anonymous cardinal who said that "the combination of doctrine and dollars won". And: "The American bishops were tired of being criticised [under Francis] and decided to make themselves heard [...] The new incentive is money, first used against Francis and then in the conclave to elect Prevost." During the pre-conclave meetings, Japanese cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi said: "Are politics involved in the Conclave? No, I don’t think so. But maybe money." Cardinal Reinhard Marx dedicated a full day of the pre-conclave discussion to the Holy See’s finances. Cardinal Müller responded back then, "Enough! We have to elect the successor of Peter, not Judas!" At a book presentation in Rome on 27 April, Cardinal Gerhard Müller rejected the hypothesis that money played a role in Leo XIV’s election with an outright …More
Meanwhile, The Tablet magazine reported May 4 that Pezzi had addressed the circumstances of his resignation at a Mass on the day of the announcement. The archbishop reportedly said that, “to make it clear and not spread any conspiracy theories or incorrect rumors, I want to announce that I have resigned because of my health, which does not allow me to manage this beloved, beautiful diocese as I should.”
Christians of all denominations now make up less than two per cent of the population of the Holy Land, Benedictine Abbot Nikodemus Schnabel told Aid to the Church in Need on 29 April. “My concern is that the Holy Land could become a kind of Christian Disneyland,” he said. He warned that while the holy sites may remain, the region could lose its indigenous Christian communities, leaving places central to Christianity without ordinary Christian family life. He said that economic hardship was a major driver of emigration and noted that many local Christians depended on tourism, which had struggled since 2019 due to the pandemic and regional conflict. “People are leaving because they see no future,” he said. #newsPgoaemvkjx

A newly emerged letter from pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, has revealed that he warned the German bishops in 2024 against proceeding with their proposed homosexual blessings. Dated 18 November 2024, the letter was addressed to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, who is responsible for liturgy. It was published today on X.com by Mexican priest Jorge Enrique Mújica, head of Zenit.org. In the letter, Tucho states that the German bishops’ proposed guidelines for blessings “effectively legitimise the status of such couples” and therefore contradict his homosexual pamphlet Fiducia Supplicans. He also criticises the German text for creating what amounts to “a kind of liturgy or para-liturgy” for homosexual blessings. Specifically, Tucho rejected: • the treatment of homosexual unions as a status to be publicly recognised, • the inclusion of ritual elements resembling marriage ceremonies, • prescribed …More

The Finding of the Holy Cross - May 3 (326) When God restored peace to His Church by exalting Constantine the Great to the imperial throne, that pious prince, who had triumphed over his enemies by the miraculous power of the Cross of Christ, was very desirous of expressing his veneration for the holy places which had been honored and sanctified by the presence and sufferings of our blessed Redeemer on earth. He accordingly resolved to build a magnificent church in the city of Jerusalem. Saint Helen, the Emperor's mother, desiring to visit the holy places there, made a journey into Palestine in 326, though she was at that time near eighty years of age. On her arrival at Jerusalem she was inspired with a great desire to find the identical cross on which Christ had suffered for our sins, in order to build the proposed church on the site of Calvary. But there was no mark or tradition, even among the Christians, to show where it might lie. Saint Helen consulted everyone in Jerusalem and the …More
