The church Saint-Nicaise de Rouen in Rouen, France, will become a brasserie-restaurant with an additional museum space. The site dates back to the 7th century, when a chapel was built for the relics of Saint Nicaise. The current building was reconstructed in reinforced concrete after a fire in 1934 and reopened for worship in 1940. Due to structural deterioration, water infiltration, and lack of maintenance, the church was closed in 2006 and officially deconsecrated in 2017. The new project includes a restaurant, on-site beer production, and preservation of some architectural elements. The church’s large organ, completed in 1957 and one of the most important in Rouen, has been removed and will be relocated to another church in Paris for restoration. Local authorities cited high restoration costs as the main reason for the conversion. #newsRxmfreixrh
Medforth AI A survey in Spain found some 80.5 percent of individuals aged 17 – 25 reject the socialist government’s mass amnesty plans for half a million illegal migrants, the digital newspaper El Españolreported on Sunday. The survey was conducted by the polling and research firm SocioMétrica for El Español between April 15 and 18 — the same week that the socialist government led by Prime Minster Pedro Sánchez began its mass amnesty process to benefit 500,000 illegal migrants in Spain with legal residence and work permits. The Spanish government launched the highly criticized amnesty process despite a fierce rejection from the nation’s population and parliament. El Español detailed that, per SocioMétrica‘s findings, the measure is not just overwhelmingly rejected by the Spanish youth, but by the Spanish population in general, with 66.7 percent of respondents expressing to be against the mass amnesty plans against roughly one third of respondents who expressed to be in favor …

published on “O Estado de S. Paulo”, august 22th 1979 São Paulo, August 15th 1979 Sir : I write to you as a subscriber to O Estado de S. Paulo, which I have been for about forty years. Be notified that I no longer wish to receive your newspaper, consider my 1979 subscription cancelled, and do not expect to be sought after by your advertising department for a new subscription in the years to come. This is due neither to the recent attacks made by your paper against the TFP, of whose National Council I am the President, nor to those against my person. The TFP has already been attacked in the past by O Estado de S. Paulo without me even having thought of terminating my subscription. However, in a news item published on the 12th of this month, the TFP and I were the objects of a polemic viciousness from your paper such as to have, to our knowledge, no precedent in its past or in the history of the Brazilian press. The news item to which I alluded was intended to strike me in one of the …More

The Diocese of Cremona, Italy, has announced two spring events flirting with homosexuality. A biblical-theological meeting will take place on April 24, followed by a prayer vigil on May 8 at the Church of San Giuseppe in Cambonino. The April meeting, led by Jesuit priest Father Iuri Sandrin, is intended to reflect on how homosexual relationships raise questions for Christian communities. The May vigil, presided over by Bishop Antonio Napolioni, is described as being for the overcoming of discrimination, particularly "homophobia" and "transphobia". According to the diocese, the initiatives aim to “help” homosexuals to feel more included in the Church. The announcement also references a 2025 synodal document by the Italian Bishops’ Conference, which encourages local Churches to promote homosexualism. In November 2018, Monsignor Napolioni held an ecumenical prayer vigil with Methodists and Seventh-day Adventists in Cremona. #newsNdjhryqaaq
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.
On Sunday, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski of Łódź, Poland, met with the faithful of the Roman rite at the Chapel of All Saints in Łódź outside of the liturgy. Cardinal Krajewski said he was happy that Catholics could attend Mass in the Roman rite at three locations within the Archdiocese of Łódź. He added that ten priests have been assigned to this pastoral ministry of the Latin Mass under Rev. Paweł Markowski's responsibility. Cardinal Krajewski served as Papal Almoner from 2013 to 2026. On 12 March 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed him Archbishop of Łódź. The cardinal was renowned for his activism on behalf of transvestite prostitutes, having organised several lunches for the 'poor' with Pope Francis to which he invited dozens of transvestites. #newsZfmceyuwqp

Südlibanon: Israelischer Soldat verunstaltet Jesusfigur Die israelische Armee hat eingeräumt, dass es im Süden Libanons zu Vandalismus gegen eine Jesusfigur gekommen ist. Die Streitkräfte verurteilen den Vorfall und kündigen angemessene Maßnahmen gegen die Verantwortlichen an. Außenminister Gideon Sa’ar erklärte in einer Stellungnahme, es handele sich um „eine Geste, die unseren Werten völlig zuwiderläuft“. Die israelischen Streitkräfte (IDF) haben die Echtheit des in den sozialen Medien kursierenden Bildes bestätigt, das einen israelischen Soldaten zeigt, wie er mit einer Art Axt auf den Kopf einer Jesusstatue schlägt, die sich vom Kreuz gelöst hatte. Die Statue befand sich im christlichen Dorf Debl im Südlibanon, nahe der Grenze zu Israel. Die IDF teilte in einem Beitrag auf ihrem offiziellen Social-Media-Profil X mit, den Vorfall „mit großer Strenge“ zu behandeln, und fügte hinzu, dass „das Verhalten des Soldaten völlig unvereinbar mit den Werten ist, die von der Truppe erwartet …More
"Mary is a pillar of fire. What would become of us wretched beings, so full of darkness, in the light of this world, if we had not so lucid a lamp, so luminous a pillar ? What would become of the world without the sun ? St. Bernard says: "Take away this lightsome body, the sun, what will give light to the world, and where is day? Take away Mary, this Star of the Sea, and what remains save an enveloping cloud, the shadow of death, and the densest darkness?" Thou hast seen how Mary is a lightgiver by her most transcendently luminous life, thou shalt now see how Mary is an illuminatrix by her most resplendent mercy."
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD: Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (aged 52-53); Cardinal, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, Seraphic Doctor, Teacher of the Faith, Writer, Philosopher] “First consider that Mary is a most pure star by living purely and without sin. Therefore doth Wisdom say of her: "She is more beautiful than light, than the sun, and above all the arrangement of the stars, and being compared to light, she is found more pure." Some read here, "before" instead of "more pure," but either phrase is fitted to our Star. For Mary is indeed prior, or before, that is, she is most worthy, most great; Mary is purer than the sun, and the stars, and the light. For both in dignity and purity she surpasses the sun, the stars, and the light, yea, even every spiritual and angelic creature, of whom it is said: "God divides light from darkness," that is, the angels who stood firm from those who fell. Mary is prior to and purer than this angelic light. …More

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6,22-29. [After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.] The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left. Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." So …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 6,22-29. In jener Zeit stand die Menge am anderen Ufer des Sees von Galiläa; sie hatten gesehen, dass nur ein Boot dort gewesen war und dass Jesus nicht mit seinen Jüngern ins Boot gestiegen war, sondern dass seine Jünger allein abgefahren waren. Von Tiberias her kamen andere Boote in die Nähe des Ortes, wo sie nach dem Dankgebet des Herrn das Brot gegessen hatten. Als die Leute sahen, dass weder Jesus noch seine Jünger dort waren, stiegen sie in die Boote, fuhren nach Kafarnaum und suchten Jesus. Als sie ihn am anderen Ufer des Sees fanden, fragten sie ihn: Rabbi, wann bist du hierhergekommen? Jesus antwortete ihnen: Amen, amen, ich sage euch: Ihr sucht mich nicht, weil ihr Zeichen gesehen habt, sondern weil ihr von den Broten gegessen habt und satt geworden seid. Müht euch nicht ab für die Speise, die verdirbt, sondern für die Speise, die für das ewige Leben bleibt und die der Menschensohn euch geben wird! Denn ihn hat Gott, der Vater …More
