Bishop Martin the Diocese of Charlotte refuses communion to families at altar rail
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte has refused Holy Communion to a Catholic family who approached the altar rail during a Confirmation Mass, in an AdVaticanum exclusive report. The incident took place on April 29 at Our Lady of Grace parish in Greensboro, North Carolina. While the Confirmation ceremony took place as usual, during Communion only two or three families approached the altar rail to receive the Eucharist. One father who brought his family said to AdVaticanum: “He was sitting in front of us when we went to the rail and he simply ignored us. All the priests turned their backs on us,” he said. “Everyone else communicated and we were denied. To be frank, it was very humiliating.” The same witness said that while the wider congregation received Communion, those kneeling at the rail were passed over. Attempts were made to speak to Bishop Martin about incident after the Confirmation Mass, but he did not respond in detail. Photo taken from the confirmation Mass. Submitted anonymously. …
Daniel 11:23: Through his accomplices, he will act with deceit. The Magisterium of the Church teaches that the elevation of a heretic to the papacy is invalid and null. Since Pope Benedict did not renounce the papal *office*—but rather the *exercise* of the episcopate of Rome—it is established that there was no apostolic succession; this means that all of Bergoglio's acts, including the election of bishops, are invalid and null, as are his false canonizations and his heretical pamphlets—such as the pro-homosexual pamphlet *Fiducia Supplicans*, and the pro-adultery, pro-fornication, and pro-cohabitation pamphlet *Amoris Laetitia*. Now, this is significant because the conclave that elected Prevost was composed of heretics—including Prevost himself, who adhered to the Marxist liberationist current of Gustavo Gutiérrez in Peru, where he was a member of the heretical Latin American Augustinians: an apostate group that worships the Pachamama and promotes a false, "inculturated" gospel that …More
Wernz-Vidal — Canon Law, 1943 “Through notorious and openly divulged heresy, the Roman Pontiff, should he fall into heresy, by that very fact (ipso facto) is deemed to be deprived of the power of jurisdiction even before any declaratory judgment by the Church... A Pope who falls into public heresy would cease ipso facto to be a member of the Church; therefore, he would also cease to be head of the Church.” And also: “A doubtful pope is no pope.”

Pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández - who is a soft porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith - is preparing for clerics who will leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X after the episcopal consecration in Écône on 1 July. According to Nico Spuntoni, Leo XIV is planning an arrangement for those clerics from the Priestly Fraternity who do not intend to remain in it following a further break with Rome. Leo XIV will treat the Priestly Fraternity as schismatics and impose penalties. Spuntoni did not find out whether the planned excommunication would apply only to the bishops or to other clerics as well. #newsAxctfujyym

On 28 April 2026, Katholisches.info reported on how Bishop Heiner Wilmer, 65, had led the Diocese of Hildesheim from 2018 to 2026, citing several recent scandals from his time there. In February 2026, Monsignor Wilmer was elected chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference. In March 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed him as the bishop of Münster, the largest diocese in Germany by membership. His installation as Bishop of Münster is scheduled for 21 June. Adult catechumen admission ceremony as event On 22 February 2026, an admission ceremony for adult baptismal candidates took place in the Hildesheim seminary church. According to eyewitnesses, the event had a distinct 'event-like' character with modern music. First Communion celebration at table In January 2026, a First Communion celebration was held in the village community hall in Schladen. Fifty children sat with the priest around a big meal table, while parents and siblings were seated behind them. Plush toys, photographs, rosaries and …More

Doug Billings @DougBillings Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1965 — warning America decades ahead of his time: “False compassion… is a pity shown not to the mugged, but to the mugger; not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer.” He predicted nations would be ruined not by wars, but by this twisted “mercy” that protects criminals and ignores victims. Watch this prophetic clip. Still true. Still urgent.
That is why I show my compassion to the family attacked by the wolves (like post-conciliar simple faithful) not to the wolves (like Fulton Sheen) themselves.
Just as Joe Biden was the face of the US presidency while the decision-makers were behind the curtain, we can now say with certainty that the Papacy of Leo is a façade for a continuation of Francis' rule. Francis was nobody's puppet, taking the conciliar church beyond conciliar in a brash and frequently rude way. He introduced the Listening Church which doesn't listen. Endless Synodal conversations followed by pronouncement of the pre-determined conclusion. An insight of the timid and rather simple Leo the image from the pachamama ceremony. Everyone else is bowing before the idol. Fr. Prevost then decides to follow - last to join, but too weak to resist the crowd. One can credibly imagine Leo asking sheepishly, "Would be OK to wash the feet in the Lateran this year on Holy Thursday?" Ignorant and heretical as they may be, the curia which Francis gathered are bold, merciless egoists, bent on tearing down the remnants of fealty to the Apostles. Leo is no match for them. He is the echo of …More
Calls for Concrete Reform Echo Among Vatican Employees Vatican lay employees urge for tangible labor reforms and greater May 1st is a significant occasion for Vatican employees to once again call on the institutions beyond the Tiber for a much-needed, yet lacking, dialogue: 'For years, the Association of Vatican Lay Employees (ADLV) has been demanding more concrete reforms in the field of labor rights. Dialogue with the ULSA, the Labor Office of the Apostolic See, has been initiated and is ongoing, but results are slow to appear and rather limited... ...According to our latest survey, 74% of Vatican workers feel this way. The number of lay managers has increased in recent years, as have the related expenses.' The ADLV emphasizes that a year and a half ago, a reform of the ADLV statute was presented; essentially, a simplification of the current one. 'So, nothing subversive—yet everything is at a standstill. This approval would be a further legitimization of the Association, and perhaps …More
These including the green one are great for Saint quotes and cross-referencing. Voluminous. But if the blue one outlaws death penalty I could not recommend it. For a shorter more traditional and inspiring Catechism, I recommend the Baltimore Catechism.
**The Aleteia article is spot-on and a helpful guide.** Your quoted text about the **green cover** accurately describes it: it's the 1997 Latin *editio typica* (typical edition), which became the official reference text with the definitive English translation and minor refinements from the earlier 1992/1994 French-based version (often tan cover). ### Key Context on Editions by Cover Color - **Tan**: Early 1990s provisional English translation (French original). Good historically, but superseded. - **Green**: 1997 official Latin-based Second Edition. This was long considered *the* standard authoritative version. Many people (including traditional-leaning Catholics) still prefer it for its "classic" status and pre-2018 wording on certain topics. - **Blue** (and some newer hardcovers/white editions): Incorporates the 2018 change to paragraph 2267 on the death penalty (now called "inadmissible" rather than allowing for rare cases). This is the most current official text. ### Thoughts on Your …More
Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas is now my hero for this dramatic and honest portrayal of the inhumanity of abortion. Thank you to Everyday for Life Canada for showing this. I have heard the descriptions of abortion hundreds of times, and it always turns my stomach.
If this maybe humanoid were faced with the entire procedure of murdering a baby and then reassembling the body parts to make sure that they wouldn’t poison the woman from whom they were torn, the attitude would be totally different assuming of course that she is somewhat human...just an idea!
