Transalpine Redemptorists declare 'sede vacante'

The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer – commonly known as the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – have issued a declaration stating that “we cannot accept the current pretenders to the papacy from the time of the Second Vatican Council.”
The Transalpine Redemptorists were founded in 1987 with the blessing of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The founder, Fr Michael Mary, derives his holy orders from Lefebvre. The community operated on good terms with the SSPX for many years, until the majority of the community reconciled with the Vatican in 2008.
A community of nearly 30 members, “The Sons” have had operations in Scotland, USA and New Zealand. In recent years, they have experienced acrimonious relations with the bishop of Christchurch Diocese, NZ, who evicted them from the diocese in 2024.
In October 2025, the community issued a forceful open letter repudiating “the Synodal Church” and the reforms of Vatican II. While aspects of the October letter pointed towards the conclusion of a vacant See, …More

Pope Leo XIV has brought to the table the delicate situation of Christians in the Middle East during a telephone conversation held this Wednesday, April 29, with the President of the European Council, António Costa, in a context marked by the growing instability in the region and the real risk to Christian communities.
According to Vatican News, the Pontiff centered the dialogue on two particularly sensitive points: the West Bank, in the State of Palestine, and the situation of Christians in southern Lebanon, one of the areas where the Christian presence is increasingly threatened by geopolitical tension.
Lebanon, a focus of concern for the Holy See
During the conversation, Leo XIV emphasized the situation of Christians in southern Lebanon, where communities live under constant pressure amid unending conflicts.
The reference is not minor. Lebanon has historically been one of the few countries in the region with a significant Christian presence, today weakened by political instability …More

1234. When the authorities invent their own reality – World Scam

05/02/2026
Entire blog as a free PDF eBook.
A title like that fits practically any topic that might come to mind. The carbon tax, the fight against the economic decline caused by the authorities’ “rescue measures” in the area of migration, global warming, which is currently heading in a direction that threatens the planet with apocalyptic cold waves. One could go on and on with this list. This whole circus boils down to one thing: governments are serving us, on a silver platter, a solution to problems that would never have arisen in the first place without the active involvement of these very governments. It’s as simple as building a flail.
A flail is an agricultural hand tool used for threshing, the process of separating grains from their husks. It can also be used for military purposes being made in the same way as a threshing-flail but much stronger and furnished with iron spikes.

Denied Rumour: Mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Roman Rite in October

The Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage in the Roman Rite will take place from October 23 to 25 in Rome.
However, there is conflicting reporting about whether a Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 24, in Saint Peter’s Basilica, similar to the one in 2025 celebrated by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke.
The official program on Summorum-Pontificum.org for the 2026 pilgrimage lists a Pontifical Mass at the Altar of the Chair in Saint Peter’s Basilica.
The president of Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce, Joseph Shaw, denied the report on X on May 2, writing: “I am told by the organisers that this is not true. Please pray that it will become true.”

Legal Positivism and Liberalism Drive Hatred of the SSPX

Just imagine waking up every day of your life and telling yourself that you have to be obedient and in communion with Cardinal Victor “Tucho” Fernandez for the salvation of your soul because of a title he holds at the Vatican.
Now imagine having to convince yourself that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, a respected Archbishop in good standing with the Catholic Church for decades, excommunicated himself and became schismatic because he needed to find a way to preserve the faith as it always existed for generations to come.
That’s the life of a liberal, legal positivist. That’s the life of dedicated SSPX haters.
If you engage in the online social media debates over the Society of St. Pius X’s (SSPX’s) plan to consecrate auxiliary bishops in July 2026 without Papal approval, you will inevitably find yourself trapped in the same annoying intellectual meat grinder that makes you just want to quit.
The typical debate goes something like this:

Here's a thought exercise. What if the hierarchy is replete with sodomites. I am not making any accusations, but Jesus did ask "What did you go into the wilderness to see?" It is the scientific method to know what to expect before examining the evidence.
If they are sodomites, it would be important to eliminate any judgement in the church. They can't exclude just their own sin because anyone with rudimentary reading skills can see that sodomy is condemned all the way back to... well, Sodom. They would eliminate reverence since reverence is specifically controlling ones urges which flies in the face of the surrender to urges which is at the base of their lifestyle. They would promote situational ethics (the "concrete situation" of Amoris Letitia) since their urges are the situation which defines their morality. They would say, as Leo says, there are worse sins than sexual sins. (Actually, it is not "sexual sin" but specifically sodomy which cries out, along with three other sins for …More

Miami Catholic Charities to lay off more than 80 employees after government cut millions in funding

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami (CCADM) said it will cut more than 80 jobs after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declined to renew an $11 million federal contract.
“HHS not renewing funding to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami will result in 85 staff members being laid off as of May 31, 2026,” Peter Routsis-Arroyo, the organization’s CEO, said in a statement to EWTN News.
He said another 20 employees will be let go on June 30.
For decades,
CCADM partnered with the federal government to serve vulnerable children and families. The termination of the contract ended a more than 65-year relationship that began with Operation Pedro Pan, which resettled about 14,000 Cuban children who were fleeing the Castro regime in the U.S.
The layoffs follow the announcement that CCADM "had to make the difficult decision to close the Msgr. Bryan Walsh Children’s Village,” Devika Austin, chief administrative officer of CCADM, wrote in an April 24 letter.

Leo "has visited Israel repeatedly" and "expressed admiration for the resilience of Jewish life and has cultivated ties with Jewish leaders in Peru, the United States, and Europe. He does not sentimentalize the Palestinian cause, nor reduce the Middle East to a victim-oppressor binary."
Those same Vatican sources report that Leo sees "Israel as 'a moral project within history.'" He also "called Netanyahu 'a necessary man in dangerous times,' which, in Vaticanese, borders on radical candor."

With Pope Leo, It's Morning Again in All of Christendom

U.S. Catholics have cause to be proud over the election of Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost as the Church's 267th Pope, and traditional Catholics the world over have reason to be optimistic — cautiously optimistic perhaps, but optimistic nonetheless.
In the beginning there was a fear, with some cause, that he might be a clone of his predecessor, Pope Francis. After all, Francis elevated him from the priesthood to bishop, then from bishop to cardinal.
But during a private audience with the Vatican's diplomatic corps Friday, the new pontiff emphasized the importance of the traditional Judeo-Christian view that marriage is defined as the union of one man and one woman.
"It is the responsibility of government leaders to work to build harmonious and peaceful civil societies,"
said Pope Leo. "This can be achieved above all by investing in the family, founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman."
Pope Francis claimed to hold the same view of marriage, but his critics believe …

Ignorance or Bad Faith - on Leo XIV's Reception of Mrs Mullally

On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text:
"There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.'
What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter?
Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions?
Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More

Does Ignorance mean direction nowadays?

la verdad prevalece

There is not even the possibility of ignorance that excuses their betrayal, since this implies that they lack the necessary qualifications for the office they usurp. Prevost, Tagle, Koch, and Flavio Pace and the other minions have committed a sin of malice. They are apostates and are not in communion with the Catholic Church, as established by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith itself— under the pontificate of John Paul II—wherein it is specified that priests take an oath of profession of faith, and where it is clearly taught that Anglican orders are invalid and null. The Church has indicated that this heretical sect lacks apostolic succession. Furthermore, that same decree states: "15 Whoever denies these truths would be in a position of rejecting a truth of Catholic doctrine 16 and would therefore no longer be in full communion with the Catholic Church."

Outside of Leo’s consistories – in January and upcoming in June – the October meeting will be the first such between a pope and only prelates for many years. The Synod on Synodality’s setup saw the participation of lay people as voting members, and at the time looked likely to be the format used in the future under Pope Francis.

Prevost’s seminary classmate: The Synodal church is 'diabolical'

Sarah Mullally, a heretical rainbow activist, pro-abortion, desecrates St. Peter's Basilica.
Deacon Nick Donnelly:
First they desecrate St. Peter’s with a protestantized Mass, then they desecrate it with Pachamama, a gay pride march and now they desecrate St.Peter’s with a woman pretending to be the Archbishop of a schismatic Protestant group that persecuted Catholics for hundreds of years
The Church teaches that heretics cannot validly administer even sacramentals, such as blessings, consecrations, and exorcisms

Timeline Emerges: Mary Phagan Dead Hours Before Body Found
The headline you referenced, "Girl Was Dead Ten Hours Before Her Body Was Found," reflects the intense scrutiny during the 1913 investigation into Mary Phagan’s death. Mary Phagan was last seen alive on Saturday, April 26, 1913, when she arrived at the National Pencil Company to collect her wages. Her body was discovered by the night watchman, Newt Lee, in the factory basement at approximately 3:30 a.m. the following Sunday morning.
The forensic and investigative timeline of the case became a primary point of debate during the coroner's inquest, as officials worked to determine the exact hour of her death and the circumstances surrounding her final hours at the factory. The assertion that she had been dead for many hours prior to the discovery was a key element in establishing the timeline of the events that unfolded at the factory on that Saturday.

Have you ever paused to look at the wrinkles on your mother’s face and felt a sudden lump in your throat, knowing that time spares no one?
In your relationship with your parents, don’t fall into the petty trap of keeping score. Avoid thinking bitterly:
“Why should I be the one to step up when my brother Alejandro doesn’t lift a finger?” or “If they don’t help, why should all the burden fall on me?”
Always remember this: caring for your aging parents is not a group school project where you wait for everyone to participate before starting.
It is an act of purely individual love. Your devotion and loyalty should not be conditioned by what anyone else is doing. Being there for them—crossing the threshold of their home—matters deeply, even if you are the only one who does it.
And it’s almost never about money. In the end, the most valuable things you can offer them are not found in a bank account. They are found in:
Your physical presence. Sitting down to have breakfast with them, maybe …More

"The great chalice had formerly been in the possession of Abraham; Melchisedech brought it with him from the land of Semiramis to the land of Canaan, when he was beginning to found some settlements on the spot where Jerusalem was afterwards built; he made use of it then for offering sacrifice, when he offered bread and wine in the presence of Abraham, and he left it in the possession of that holy patriarch. This same chalice had also been preserved in Noah’s Ark."
