18. apr. 2026. The Catholic Family Podcast Bishop Pierre Roy Answers Questions Regarding an Imperfect General Council "When there is no true successor of Saint Peter, the election of a Supreme Pontiff remains an important duty incumbent upon the Church. When the Church finds Herself without a Pope, as happens upon the death of the Pontiff, She is bound to provide Herself with another; that is to say, Her members must act to ensure that the Holy See is once again occupied. This shows how important it is for the Church to have a visible head, the true principle of unity." Source: Novus Ordo Watch on Catholic Family Podcast
The Kyiv Independent Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will not let Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico use their airspace to travel to Moscow for Russia's Victory Day celebrations in May, officials said. "Lithuania and Latvia have already announced that they will not allow us to fly through their territories during the flight to Moscow," Fico said in an address on April 18. "Why? Member states of the European Union do not allow the Prime Minister of another member state of the European Union to fly to these territories," the leader said, criticizing the decision. On April 19, Estonia confirmed it will also refuse access. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said Tallinn would not permit the use of its airspace for flights to Moscow for the May 9 parade, which he described as an event "aimed at glorifying the aggressor." Tsahkna said that no country should be allowed to use Estonian airspace to strengthen ties with Russia while it continues its war against Ukraine and violates international law. …More

Saint of the Day, April 20th 1967. Without revision of the Author Statue of Saint Anselm outside Canterbury Cathedral Tomorrow, the 21st, we have the feast of St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033 ca. – 1109), Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church. Intrepid in the battles of the Faith, he defended the Church against King William, the redhead. “Christ, he used to say, does not want a slave for a wife. He loves nothing in this world so much as the freedom of His Church.” An account of the consecration of St. Anselm published in Lives of the Saints by Rohrbacher: The English bishops decided to consecrate Anselm as Archbishop of Canterbury, but he flatly refused because he knew of the royal intrusion into this office. The prelates showed him the consequences of his refusal for England. The Saint replied he was aware of those problems but was old and barely able to carry himself. How could he bear the burden of an entire Church? On the other hand, it was not his nature to take care of temporal …More
"The same happens in this episode with St. Anselm: they are mysteries of the Church’s life. God shows His divine greatness through these mysterious facts, and later, things are explained."
“I am your God who was crucified on the cross; true God and true man in one person who is present everyday in the hands of the priest. When you pray any prayer to me, always end your prayer with the intention that my will always shall be done and not yours. For when you pray for the already condemned, I do not hear you. Sometimes you also pray for some things that are against your own welfare and that is why it is necessary for you to entrust your will to me, for I know all things and do not provide you with anything but what is beneficial. Many pray without the right intention and that is why they do not deserve to be heard."
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] The words of Christ to his bride about the method and the veneration she should maintain in prayer, and about the three kinds of people who serve God in this world. Chapter 14 “I am your God who was crucified on the cross; true God and true man in one person who is present everyday in the hands of the priest. When you pray any prayer to me, always end your prayer with the intention that my will always shall be done and not yours. For when you pray for the already condemned, I do not hear you.

The Shadow Papers nytimes.com/…s/supreme-court-shadow-docket-papers… A Breakdown of Five Days of Secret Supreme Court Memos The New York Times obtained a trove of documents illuminating the inner workings of the court as it embraced a secretive track for making major decisions. Over five days in the winter of 2016, the justices of the Supreme Court exchanged an extraordinary series of confidential memos about how the court should address an ambitious climate change initiative from President Barack Obama. The debate yielded an order halting the program by a 5-to-4 vote — without any explanation. Legal scholars have called the episode the birth of the modern shadow docket, in which the court has used truncated procedures cloaked in secrecy to block or allow major presidential initiatives in terse rulings. Ordinarily, justices’ confidential papers are not disclosed until after their deaths, meaning the public might not learn what happened, and why, for decades. The Inside Story Behind …More
During Mass, a priest asks the Lord to “take Donald Trump” during a prayer. The entire congregation starts laughing. “We pray for peace. We pray for Donald Trump, the Lord will take him.”
Novus Ordo: This is Fr. Christopher Ginnelly, parish priest for the Church of the Holy Family in Ballycroy, praying for the death of Donald Trump. The audience starts laughing.
If they clapped in support that would be the decider. Sometimes people laugh in shock at statements they are not comfortable with. It’s a very common reaction in Ireland. The priest is a scandal to the priesthood and I would imagine not a few of his congregation know it.

John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …More
