CLEVELAND -- A Republican judge for a county juvenile court is challenging the voter‑approved reproductive rights amendment in the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing that it is being interpreted in a way that eliminates Ohio’s parental consent and judicial bypass requirements for minors seeking abortions.
Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations and Juvenile Division Judge David Engler filed suit in the Ohio Supreme Court this week, contending that the amendment conflicts with Article IV of the Ohio Constitution, which establishes the authority and jurisdiction of the state’s courts.
Engler argues that the amendment, approved by voters in November 2023, has infringed upon his jurisdiction as a juvenile court judge …

James Martin in leaked audio: There has been a “step forward,” not a full change in doctrine. Martin points to Fiducia Supplicans, approved under Pope Francis. It allows priests to give non-liturgical, spontaneous blessings to same-sex couples. These are not marriages and not formal ceremonies. Recognition of “goodness” in these relationships. He emphasizes that the Church is beginning to acknowledge positive elements (love, commitment, faith) in same-sex couples. Change is gradual, not revolutionary. The Church is “moving,” but slowly. What may seem minor in Western countries is very controversial globally, especially in parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Pastoral shift driven by real people. The growing visibility of LGBTQ individuals (family members, parishioners) is pushing the Church to engage more compassionately and realistically.

An Open Letter to Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, S.J. - First Things

Your Eminence:
In an article recently published by a major German Catholic website, you suggested that the question of whether the Church can ordain women has not been definitively settled: “I cannot imagine how a Church can continue to exist in the long run if half of God’s people suffer because they have no access to ordained ministry.” Putting aside for a moment the questions of what, and how, suffering is caused by the Church’s ancient practice of calling only men to holy orders, your formulation raises questions about the past, present, and future.
Are you, for example, suggesting that there has been something essentially wrong with the Catholic understanding of holy orders for two millennia? How would such a notion square with the Lord’s promise to preserve his Church in truth through the continual outpouring of the Holy Spirit (John 15:16; 16:13)? The question of who can be admitted to holy orders has never been understood as a secondary matter of ecclesiastical discipline; it …

A church of accommodation to the world soon becomes a church of irrelevance to the supernatural lives of the people. It abandons the city of God for the city of man. The Protestant reformation has proven that lesson all too well.

Saint Anselm: The Beauty of God’s Surprising, Disconcerting and Mysterious Ways

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

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

New Report Reveals that Most Catholics Find Peace in Confession and 83% Desire the Sacrament for God's Mercy and Forgiveness

New Report Reveals that Most Catholics Find Peace in Confession and 83% Desire the Sacrament for God's Mercy and Forgiveness
The 2026 Catholic Pulse Report: The Confession Study, conducted by Vinea Research Group, was released in March 2026. The report challenges the idea that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is in "irreversible decline" and instead suggests that many Catholics are open to returning to the practice if barriers related to personal discomfort and habit are addressed.

What stood out in this report is not a vague trend line but something concrete and measurable. Confession is increasing.
In a time when the common narrative says Catholics are disengaged, this points in the opposite direction. People are returning to the sacrament that requires honesty, examination of conscience, and a real encounter with mercy.

Pope's Brother: "When He Was 7, a Mom Said He’d Be the First American Pope"

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

If only he listened to his mama rather than pachamama

Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV.
Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon:
“ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

Tribal Leader Issues Polygamy in Cathedral - Leo XIV Remains Silent But Catholics React

On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral.
He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'.
In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example.
He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church.
The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …More
