Kash Patel files $250M suit against The Atlantic Patel accused the magazine of publishing a “sweeping, malicious, and defamatory hit piece” What happened FBI Director Kash Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit on Monday accusing The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick of publishing a “sweeping, malicious, and defamatory hit piece” designed to destroy his “reputation and drive him from office.” Fitzpatrick, citing more than two dozen unidentified sources, reported last week that Patel was “deeply concerned that his job is in jeopardy” and “has good reasons to think so,” as his “conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences” have alarmed FBI and Justice Department officials. Who said what “We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel” and “will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit,” the publication said in a statement. As a public figure, Patel will have to prove “actual malice,” a “higher standard than an ordinary citizen …More

During his flight to Equatorial Guinea, Pope Leo XIV responded to questions regarding a potential future consistory. “That is a question that many people want to ask,” he said. He then made it clear that no decision had yet been taken on the timing of a new consistory. "We need to consider the matter from a broader global perspective," he added, also suggesting that the African continent is being given attention.
Today, Leo XIV commented on the possibility of the next consistory and the creation of new cardinals: 'No decision has yet been made on when new cardinals will be created. We need to consider the issue from a global perspective. We hope that, in the near future — or perhaps a little further down the line — the appointment of a new cardinal for Angola can be considered, and that this will be the case for Africa, and perhaps even for Angola.”
04/21/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. First, a brief comparison. In history class, we learned about a Mongol ruler from the turn of the 12th to the 13th century: the ruthless conqueror of half the world, Genghis Khan. His wars claimed the lives of 40 million people at the time—that is 11.11% of the entire known world population. Today I asked “Google Intelligence” the following question: How did Genghis Khan treat envoys? The answer surprised me greatly: Genghis Khan treated envoys with the utmost respect, and their protection was a fundamental principle of Mongol law and strategy. The most important aspects of this topic are listed below: Absolute inviolability: The killing of an envoy (ambassador) was considered one of the gravest acts of hostility, which typically led to merciless revenge and the complete destruction of the state that had committed such an act; The Jam System (Jaam): Genghis Khan established an efficient courier system (Jam) that enabled messengers to travel …

The oldest prayer from the Apostles that miraculously still exists… Three years after the crucifiction, St Thomas sent Thaddeus to Edessa. Thaddeus not only brought the word, he brought the oldest Anaphora. This was a Eucharistic Prayer *from Jerusalem* which was prayed by the *Apostles themselves*. This prayer was kept alive in the Assyro-Chaldean churches, which are slowly going extinct. A prayer from the time of Christ. Not a few centuries later. Saving ancient Christianity = saving the prayers & treasures of the Apostles.

Kat A @SaiKate108 The Irish people are waking up and there’s no turning back!! Ivor Cummins says they now see it’s about so much more than fuel - it’s about the Epstein class ruling over them. Even the media which is usually a Government mouthpiece has turned on them over their sinister attempt to review and censor coverage of the protests. A powerful testament to what happens when people finally stand together.
The Israeli army has stated that it has replaced the crucifix that one of its soldiers defaced in Lebanon. The IDF has expressed deep regret over the incident and is working to ensure that it does not happen again.
While they kill Christians they pretend they are outraged over smashing a Crucifix. I won't be surprised that soldier was rewarded but warned not to be seen on camera next time. That's how Israel works.
Kristus ukrižovaný zvíťazil: V koordinácii s kresťanmi z Debelu izraelská armáda nahradila kríž, ktorý bol sťatý v južnom Libanone. K tomuto kroku pristúpila (až) po tom, čo sa zábery incidentu rozšírili na internete a vyvolali všeobecné pobúrenie.
In June, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X will announce the names of the future bishops to be consecrated on 1 July in Ecône, Switzerland. Father Kevin M. Cusick published this rumour on the Rorate-Caeli blog, referring to an anonymous 'reliable source' who claimed that both Don Davide Pagliarani, the Fraternity's Superior General, and Father John Fullerton, the Fraternity's Superior for the US, had confirmed the information.

21.04.2026 WHEN THE SSPX SAYS VATICAN COUNCIL II HAS THE HERMENEUTIC OF DISCONTINUITY AND CARD. MULLER SAYS IT HAS A CONTINUITY THEY ARE VAGUE : WE CAN NOW BE SPECIFIC When we refer to the hermeneutic of continuity or discontinuity, it is important to refer to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS)with exceptions or without exceptions. Since if Lumen Gentium 8, 14, 16 etc refer to visible cases then there is a discontinuity, with the dogma EENS of the Council of Florence 1442 etc, which did not mention any exceptions. But if LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to invisible cases there is a hermeneutic of continuity with EENS. Similarly with reference to Tradition, we must ask, do we affirm an Athanasius Creed which has exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II or no exceptions mentioned in the Council-text. So when the SSPX says Vatican Council II has the hermeneutic of discontinuity and Cardinal Muller says it has one of continuity, this is vague. They must be specific. …More
On 19 April, the Israeli army confirmed that a soldier had beheaded a crucifix in Debel, southern Lebanon. In response, the Christian town wrote: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”. The army claimed that it views the incident with “great severity”, that the act is inconsistent with its values, and that an investigation is underway. The army also promised that measures would be taken against those responsible.

I must "pass" in the eyes of Jews. Two times I've overheard negative comments by Jews about Catholics. Once it was at a restaurant; they were at the next table. I made sign of the Cross. They shut up in total embarrassment.
Ice Age Farmer @iceagefarmer A fire has broken out at Western India’s largest oil refinery at Pachpadra, Balotra, ahead of its planned inauguration by PM Narendra Modi on 21th of April. The destruction of energy infrastructure is continuing and is quite blatant — they WANT you to know. Evil is BEGGING to be seen. This is the collective shadow seeking integration. The destruction grows by the day — time to start growing food and building your own systems.

This is INSANE!! This guy defended his girlfriend from a Somali who was trying to sexually assault her. The Somali stabbed him, and he tried to defend himself, ending up in the hospital. Scottish justice pursued him with assault charges and convicted him, ruining his criminal record, while the Somali was free and didn’t even show up.
