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
On the return flight to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the decision of Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, to enforce "blessings" for homosexual couples in his archdiocese. Leo XIV replied: "First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. …More
Leo XIV says that countries have a right to regulate there borders and decide who they allow to enter their country: “Personally, I believe that a State has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order, sometimes creating in destination countries situations more unjust than those they left behind. But that said, I ask myself: what are we doing in richer countries to change the situation in poorer countries? Why can we not try, both through state aid and through the investments of large wealthy companies and multinationals, to change the situation in countries like those we visited on this visit?” Adding, “And another point I would like to make is that, in any case, they are human beings, and we must treat human beings humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens. It is a very big challenge: a country can say it cannot receive more than a certain number of people, but when people arrive, they are human beings …More
Well it is unjust as it would be against divine law so it is a matter of justice. It pretends to equality with properly ordered relationships which it most surely is not so it offends true equality. It promotes slavery as freedom which is an attack on freedom itself. It therefore is a simulation of a blessing which attacks the true religion.

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, …
Leo XIV says that he and the Vatican rejects Cardinal Marx move to allow the blessing of homosexual couples in his Diocese: “The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. When a priest gives a blessing at the end of Mass, when the Pope gives a blessing at the end of a large celebration like the one we had today, they are blessings for all people. Francis’ well-known expression ‘Tutti, tutti, tutti’ is an expression of the Church’s belief that all are welcome; all are invited; all are invited to follow Jesus, and all are invited to look for conversion in their lives. To go beyond that today, I think that the topic can cause more disunity than unity, and that we should look for ways to build …More
The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, commented on the July 1 episcopal consecrations in an in-house interview with LaPorteLatine.org. Key lines. - The episcopal consecrations… are not a rebellion, but the response to a cruel necessity. - Cardinals Gerhard Müller, Robert Sarah, and other bishops suffer from a typically modern malaise: an inability to reconcile the demands of faith with those of canon law, leading to a kind of paralyzing dichotomy. - The FSSPX holds that these principles must not simply be juxtaposed, but hierarchized - one subordinated to the other. - The ‘rigorous’ canonists still consider the FSSPX schismatic — this is how one must understand the statements of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. - Bishop Athanasius Schneider has shown great courage and freedom of speech… his support will go down in history. - I thank Bishop Joseph Strickland for his message full of strength, clarity, and courage. - Bishop Vitus Huonder,…More

Acts 9:1-20 “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” All evil and harm to one's neighbor is a separation from the Love of God. John 6:52-59 Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.” Whoever realizes that God is Life remains in God and recognizes God's presence within them. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
“Remember that it has never been heard of in any age, that any sinner who turned to you was rejected by you. I am a miserable sinner, but I turn to you and trust in you.” - Saint Bernard of Clairveaux
Prevost promotes a UNION with heretics and false gods—the very same Masonic fraternity that his infamous mentor promoted. Let us recall that Bergoglio and Shimon Peres advocated for "a UN of religions."
A rare celestial event is set to capture attention as an interstellar comet makes its way through the solar system, offering skywatchers a unique viewing opportunity not seen since prehistoric times, reported NYPost. The interstellar comet known as C/2025 R3 (Pan-STARRS) was first discovered on September 7, 2025, by the Pan-STARRS survey at Haleakala, Hawaii. This icy object completes an orbit around the Sun only once every 170,000 years, making its current appearance extremely rare. Over the next ten days, this comet will steadily increase in brightness as it moves toward the inner solar system. On April 19th, it will reach its closest point to the Sun, or perihelion. Although it will come very close, it will remain confined to about half the distance between Earth and the Sun, making it highly unlikely to break up, as happens with some comets that approach extremely close to the Sun. On April 27th, the comet will be closest to Earth and at the same time, it will appear brightest. …
