America’s Bishops ‘Turn A Blind Eye’ to Abuse of American Generosity

They’re at it again. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to support President Donald Trump in terminating temporary protected status (TPS) for a host of foreign nationals, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is once again raising the hue and cry. Here’s what USCCB Migration Committee chairman Bishop Brendan J. Cahill had to say:
Revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of people residing in our country creates a moral crisis when returning to their country of origin is not a safe or reasonable option. If we are truly to affirm the God-given dignity of every human person, we as a nation cannot turn a blind eye to such an injustice and the impossible choices it will create for families and communities.
First of all, as the name suggests, TPS is not exactly the same thing as legal status, properly understood. Instead, TPS is intended to be temporary, which is exactly what the Supreme Court and the Trump administration agreed on. Second of all, …

This Trad ‘godfather’ would confess to James Martin over an SSPX priest? - Pax Orbis

In an interview with Joe McClane, Eric Sammons of Crisis Magazine made the outrageous claim that he would prefer to have Fr. James Martin SJ1 hear his confession over a priest of the SSPX, should the latter be excommunicated after the upcoming Consecrations.
Mr Sammons, referred to by some as the ‘godfather’ of traditional Catholicism, gives his reasons in the short video below. In it, he digs a hole for himself and displays his bitter prejudice against the Society.
For the benefit of Eric Sammons and those who may be confused by his comments, here are some excerpts from Credo, the catechism by Bishop Athanasius Schneider. [This contemporary but traditional catechism has been chosen for its accessibility.]
The references begin with what is known to be the approach taken by James Martin to the sacraments, then move onto how those errors alone would render his confessions invalid. Finally we look at some points regarding schism and excommunication.
All of this assumes that Martin’s …

At an outdoor "Pride Mass" this week In New York, Fr Chris Lawton apologized to the attendees, claiming the Church doesn't "recognize the presence of God" in them, and is carrying out acts of injustice against "transgenders".

Homosex Eucharist in New York

On June 25, skinny Paulist Father Chris Lawton celebrated an annual homosex Eucharist at the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park, New York City. Around 150 people attended, reports NcrOnline.org.
The Eucharist was organized by the notorious homosexual parish St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. It took place at the start of 'New York Pride weekend'.
The location was disfigured with dozens of rainbow flags.
Fr Lawton apologized to homosexuals for times when the Church had failed to recognize God's presence in them. He believes that „transgender Catholics” continue to face unique injustice within the Church.
He added that there is a movement toward inclusion of homosexuals underway in the Church: "The train has left the station. And we are going somewhere."
Since February 6, the Archdiocese of New York has been led by Monsignor Ronald Hicks - another of Leo XIV's bad appointments.

Instead of going closer to Christ, the Church is rapidly going farther away from Him.

Lisi Sterndorfer

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X has sent an open letter to all the cardinals. It is our duty by virtue of our office, both individually and as a college, to reject the scandalous accusation that the Roman Church has departed from the Catholic faith. In the face of the schismatic act of episcopal consecration carried out without the prior grant of communio with the Pope, there must be no ambiguity. In pastoral and liturgical matters, one may proceed with pastoral sensitivity. I propose the establishment of a commission, along the lines of the former Ecclesia Dei, to enable those who have embraced this schismatic position to return to full communion with the Pope. But the boundary into schism is definitively crossed when the ministry of the Bishop of Rome, as the visible principle and enduring foundation of the Church’s unity in revealed truth, is violated. During the Council of Trent, the distinguished Polish Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius said to the Protestants of his own day—…More

Cardinal Müller’s Intervention at the Consistory of Cardinals: Full Text

ROME, 28 June 2026 — As reported yesterday, Cardinal Gerhard Müller used his intervention at the June 26-27 extraordinary consistory at the Vatican to call for a clear response to the Society of St. Pius X following its open letter to Pope Leo XIV and the College of Cardinals on the eve of the meeting.
In his three-minute remarks, the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith also proposed establishing a commission along the lines of Ecclesia Dei to facilitate the return of those seeking “full communion with the Pope” following the SSPX episcopal consecrations scheduled for July 1 in Écône.
It has now emerged that His Eminence also used his three minutes to push back on the new “synodal style” format of consistories, criticizing the prioritization of small-group exchanges over plenary debate and discussions between the Pope and members of the Sacred College.
Below is the full text of Cardinal Müller’s intervention, translated into English from the original …

The "Great Conversion Story of Louise Sighouin"

Here's the "Great Conversion Story of Louise Sighouin" from the Magnificat and written by John Janaro. He's an associate professor emeritus of theology at Christendom College. His blog can be found here. Sadly, this kind of evangelizing story can no longer be publicly told. Conversion to Christianity has become something negative. It's now associated with white supremacy, colonization and oppression.
In Canada, the early Jesuit martyrs have been pretty much forgotten. Their story of spreading the Gospel to the Indigneous peoples of Canada is politically incorrect and often edited if told. We must not commit the woke "sin" of cultural appropriation.
Nevetheless, here's the inspiring story of Louise Sighouin.
In this series, we have already heard something of the mid 19th century missionary journeys of Father Pierre-Jean de Smetand his Jesuit confreres, who came from Belgium and France to Missouri beginning in 1823. At that time, Missouri was the frontier of the rapidly expanding United …

Jerusalem Patriarchs Joint Visit to Gaza

His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem and His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, conducted a pastoral visit to the Gaza Strip from 22–23 June 2026, accompanied by His Excellency Dr. Josef D. Blotz, Grand Hospitaller of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and representatives of Malteser International.
During the visit, the Patriarchs met with the local Christian community, visited families and institutions, celebrated the Eucharist at Holy Family Parish, and reaffirmed the Churches’ closeness to the people of Gaza. They also blessed a new healthcare clinic established through the collaboration of the Sovereign Order of Malta and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, as well as a newly renovated building for the Latin Patriarchate’s kindergarten. The visit concluded with the graduation of 24 preschool children, highlighting the Church’s commitment to education, hope, and the future of Gaza.

35 of 64 condemnations of abortion

35. It is the crime of LYING IN WAIT which is first degree murder. For days or weeks with malice aforethought for brutal murder. Ps 10:8 & 37:32, Prov 1:11 & 12:6, Deuteronomy 19:11, Jer 5:26
36. Women who die from abortion are guilty of suicide and child murder states St. Jerome
35. Some, when they learn that they are with child through sin, practice abortion by the use of drugs. Frequently they die themselves and are brought before the rulers of the lower world guilty of three crimes: suicide, adultery against Christ, and murder of an unborn child.” Saint Jerome
37. God will hate her tongue, hands, heart and feet

Venezuela: The Prophetic Spark?
As global tensions rise and Venezuela once again draws international attention, many Catholics are asking a serious question: Is Venezuela simply a nation in crisis — or could it be a warning sign for the world? In this video, we explore the approved Marian apparitions of Betania, the life and mission of Servant of God Maria Esperanza de Bianchini, and the powerful call to reconciliation that Heaven delivered decades ago — a call that feels increasingly urgent today. We examine: • Official messages from Our Lady of Betania (1976 & 1989) • The reported remark “It will start here” discussed by Michael H. Brown • A balanced analysis of the Spirit Daily article “Will Venezuela Be a Prophetic ‘Spark’?” • Current global and regional tensions — presented responsibly and prayerfully • Parallels with Fatima and Akita, where Heaven warned of suffering if humanity failed to repent ⚠️ This video does not claim dates or predictions. It is offered for discernment …More

Pope Leo defends synodality, tells cardinals 'I need your support: strong, explicit, and public' - LifeSite

Sat Jun 27, 2026 - 2:34 pm EDT
VATICAN CITY (
LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV opened his second extraordinary consistory of cardinals on Friday in which he insisted that the Lord is leading the Church via “synodality” so that she can “grow in communion,” according to a report by Vatican journalist Edward Pentin.
The Pontiff encouraged the 178 cardinals to “engage wholeheartedly” in a synodal, working group structure, adding that he was “well aware that, for many of us, this is not the usual way of conducting a consistory,” Pentin said in his EWTN News report.
“I count on you to help me discern what the Spirit is saying to the Church today. I need your support: strong, explicit, and public,” Leo said in his opening remarks on Friday. “I need to feel sustained by you as brothers.”
“The pope’s comments came after some cardinals had expressed apprehensions about the consistory using a ‘synodal’ round-table format for a second time — a structure they felt was ‘very controlled’ when …

How Long Will the EU Be Writing Checks to UNRWA? – Allah's Willing Executioners

July 26, 2007 A U.N. registration card, AK-47 assault rifles, ammunition clips and additional military equipment were uncovered during a counter-terrorism operation in southern Gaza. Pictured: U.N. registration card. Israel Defense Forces, CC-BY-2.0, Wikimedia Commons
This story is bigger than Israel. This story is not about Palestinians versus Israelis. This story is not about what drives people to the streets, even when many of them could not find Gaza on a map.
This story is about the fading trust in UN institutions and, even more troubling, in humanitarian work itself.
After October 7, HonestReporting, an Israeli media watchdog, alerted the public to a series of uncomfortable facts. What they discovered was that several Gaza-based ‘freelance photojournalists’ appeared to be operating in close proximity to prominent Hamas leaders and attackers during the assault, or possessed material that raised serious questions about how it had been obtained. The photographers in question were …

Councils order homeowners to remove air con as temperatures hit 40C - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Britons sweltering through a week of near-record temperatures have been told to remove air conditioning units from their homes as councils ramp up enforcement of Net Zero-inspired planning rules.
The extraordinary crackdown has sparked fury after residents were ordered to dismantle cooling systems despite temperatures threatening to reach 40C in parts of the country.
Planning officials have argued that air conditioning should only be used as a “last resort”, insisting homeowners must first rely on measures such as opening windows, drawing curtains and using fans.
The row comes as millions struggle through another intense heatwave, with forecasters warning that some areas could challenge temperature
records set during Britain’s historic summer of 2022.
In one case, a London homeowner was ordered to “permanently remove” two air conditioning units after planners ruled there was “no justification” for them.
Officials argued the resident should instead ventilate the property naturally …

‼️👉 ☄️ Britische Behörden fordern Hausbesitzer auf, Klimaanlagen zu entfernen, während die Temperaturen auf 40 °C steigen
„Ein außergewöhnlich hartes Vorgehen der britischen Behörden hat für Empörung gesorgt, nachdem Hausbesitzer angewiesen wurden, ihre Kühlsysteme zu demontieren – und das, obwohl die Temperaturen in Teilen des Landes auf bis zu 40 Grad Celsius zu klettern drohten.
Vertreter der Planungsbehörden argumentierten, Klimaanlagen sollten nur als „letztes Mittel“ eingesetzt werden; Hausbesitzer müssten stattdessen zunächst auf Maßnahmen wie das Öffnen von Fenstern, das Zuziehen von Vorhängen und die Verwendung von Ventilatoren zurückgreifen.
Der Streit fällt in eine Zeit, in der Millionen Menschen unter einer weiteren heftigen Hitzewelle leiden; Meteorologen warnen zudem, dass in einigen Regionen sogar Temperaturrekorde aus dem historischen britischen Sommer 2022 übertroffen werden könnten.

MAGNIFICAT: The art essay of the month / The Delivery of the Keys to Saint Peter

The Delivery of the Keys to Saint Peter (1481–1482),
Pietro Vannucci, called Perugino (1448–1523).
We can all see in our head the images
of the cardinals’ entrance into the conclave on May 7, 2025, a little more than a year ago, to elect the new pope. In this way they perpetuated a centuries-old tradition: since the 1400s, this assembly has been held in the Sistine Chapel. One of the frescoes that watched over the election is particularly significant, since it depicts the appointment of Peter as the head of the nascent Church.
Michelangelo outshone Pope Sixtus IV (1471–1484), who had commissioned the construction of the papal chapel that bears his name, as well as the other painters who decorated it. Perugino, Botticelli, and Ghirlandaio, among others, nevertheless labored on the middle tier. Producing parallel scenes from the lives of Moses and Jesus, they manifested the continuity of salvation, which was offered first to the chosen people, then to the whole world. For example, opposite …More
