Riposte Laique Germany’s political establishment has pushed through a controversial parliamentary reform in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt in a thinly veiled attempt to curb the rising influence of the right-wing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party ahead of September’s state election. The reform, approved with the required two-thirds majority, was backed by an alliance of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, the liberal FDP, and the far-left Die Linke. The AfD’s 22 MPs were the only ones to vote against it. Supporters of the changes say they are needed to protect the functioning of democratic institutions, but the real aim is to weaken the AfD, which is currently leading in the polls by a large margin. Surveys suggest the AfD could win around 40% of the vote in September, well ahead of the CDU on about 25%. Smaller parties like the FDP and Greens may not even enter parliament. The reform introduces several key changes,…
Christian pastor is arrested for 'criticising Islam' while preaching in Watford town centre - as police officer tells him 'in the name of Jesus, get in the car' A video of a 66‑year‑old Christian pastor, Steve Maile, being arrested in Watford town centre has gone viral. He was preaching, singing hymns and pop songs adapted to a Christian message. Pastor Maile, a grandfather with no criminal record, was arrested after briefly criticising Islam and LGBT lifestyles while preaching, something he says he has done peacefully for decades. Footage shows multiple police officers converging on him within seconds, placing him in handcuffs in full view of the public and his family. The arresting officer arguably mocks the Christian faith by saying to him before putting him in the police car: 'In Jesus name get in the car.'
A Sévis, au pays des Grisons, saint Fidèle de Sigmaringen, prêtre de l’Ordre des Frères Mineurs Capucins et martyr. Sanctoral Saint Fidèle de Sigmaringen, Capucin, Martyr Fidèle, né à Sigmaringen, ville de Souabe, de l’honnête famille des Rey, se distingua dès l’enfance par les dons singuliers de la nature et de la grâce dont il était orné. Doué du meilleur naturel et formé au bien, grâce à une excellente éducation, il remporta les palmes au collège de Fribourg pendant ses cours de philosophie et de droit, en même temps qu’à l’école de Jésus-Christ il s’efforçait d’atteindre au sommet de la perfection par la pratique assidue des vertus. Ayant été donné pour compagnon à plusieurs gentilshommes, qui visitaient différentes contrées de l’Europe, il ne cessa de les exciter à la piété chrétienne par ses paroles et ses actions. Il fit plus : durant ce voyage il s’efforça de mortifier par de fréquentes austérités les désirs de la chair, et de se rendre tellement maître …
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.
The Vatican is editing out Pope Leo XIV’s joke that Pope Francis’ “tutti, tutti, tutti”, is “infamous”
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 …More

Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 3:56 pm EDTThu Apr 23, 2026 - 4:43 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online. Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.” “The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote. “The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …
On the return flight to Rome on April 23, Leo XIV took questions from selected journalists. Main quotes. - We must promote a culture of peace. The issue is not whether there is regime change or not; the issue is how to promote the values we believe in without the death of so many innocent people. - The situation in Iran is clearly very complex. Even the negotiations themselves—one day Iran says yes and the United States says no, and vice versa. - I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during the visit to Lebanon, was waiting there with a sign saying “Welcome Pope Leo.” He has been killed in this final phase of the war. - A state has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order. - We must treat migrants humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens. - The issue of human trafficking is also part of migration. - What are we doing in richer countries to change the situation in poorer countries? - Africa is …More
Go to your muslim friends and tell THEM 'we must promote a culture of peace'. Tell them to their faces - unambiguously ie tell them to stop murdering and hating Christians. Tell them that their populations in the Christian West need to respect OUR culture, OUR Christianity, OUR history - or leave. Preferably leave. Start preaching it regularly to the whole world without exception - and see what happens.

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.
"The august Mary comprehended how important it was that St. Joseph should have to endure this affliction, by which his spirit was exercised and prepared for the great charge that was to be confided to him. He had now passed two months of suffering, and, overcome by his apprehensions, he exclaimed: ‘I find no remedy for my grief but absence. I acknowledge that my spouse is perfect, but it is not possible for me to penetrate the mystery of her condition, and I will not insult her virtue by subjecting her to the penalties-of the law. I will depart forthwith.” The saint resolved to set out during the night. He therefore prepared a small packet of clothing. Having received a trifling sum of money which was due to him for work, he determined to leave the house after midnight."

ST JOSEPH endeavored to calm the painful agitations of his heart by doing his utmost - remove the conviction of his mind respecting the condition of his wife.

"And as he /Joseph/ preserved silence, not seeking consolation elsewhere, (as men usually do,) the sufferings of the saint were naturally more intense. The heart of the gentle Mary was penetrated by a sorrow not less profound; but she resolved to redouble her cares for the health of her spouse. She continued to conceal the mystery which she had no command to disclose, in order to honor and to preserve the secret of the celestial King. So far as regarded herself, she left nothing undone to promote his comfort—entreating him to remind her of anything which might contribute to restore his declining health."
How Iran Committed Suicide: Iran’s decades-long bluff—built on terror proxies, nuclear brinkmanship, and Western appeasement—collapsed the moment it faced direct force and a changed geopolitical landscape.
A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21. St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline. This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics. However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest. Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years. Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists. This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …More
A dying Novus Ordo parish is given a Latin Mass, which naturally explodes in popularity. A few influential Novus parishioners get jealous, make up bogus accusations, and run the trads out of town. Now the parish is basically closed, and they call it a success. Sound familiar?
This homosexual, Marxist, and Masonic sect—which worships false gods—hates the Traditional Holy Mass, because said Mass was declared the Official Mass of the Church until the end of time. Conversely, the *Novus Ordo* Mass permits the changes that modernist heretics—infiltrated within the Second Vatican Council—introduced under the pretext of ecumenism; an ecumenism that promotes neither the conversion of Jews who reject their Messiah, nor that of idolatrous Muslims and followers of other false religions, but rather a Masonic fraternity in which polytheism is promoted. And a false peace with those who reject the Prince of Peace. A false UNITY wherein false gods are equated with the Most Holy Trinity (such as the false god Allah), and wherein Christ is not considered necessary as Redeemer. For this reason, no effort is made to ensure that idolaters convert, believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are baptized. The synodal sect promotes the notion that Christ is no longer necessary …More

04/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. War is good in only one instance: when it is successfully prevented. Of course, every state has the right to defend itself against aggression. There is no point in debating that. Even a state under attack has a duty to do everything in its power to avoid war. And by that I do not mean that one should give in to the enemy’s threats. Such a submissive attitude usually provokes even greater aggression. In my opinion, Iran has provided an excellent example in recent decades of how to avoid war. If you’ve read that Iran sought to build a nuclear bomb and thereby threatened the civilized world, then you’ve read that. And if you believe it, that speaks to your thoughtlessness and your susceptibility to primitive propaganda. Such a mainstream claim has just as much to do with the truth as COVID-19 has to do with a pandemic—namely, nothing at all. A young Pakistani artist paid tribute to the slain leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, by creating an …
