Selected quotes from the book A Wider View of the Second Vatican Council by Archimandrite Boniface Luykx. Republished in English by Angelico Press, Brooklyn, NY, 2025. Archimandrite Boniface Luykx (1915–2004) was a Belgian Premonstratensian canon regular, professor, and liturgical scholar. In the 1940s and 1950s he was among the leading figures of the Catholic liturgical movement and taught for many years at the University of Notre Dame’s Summer School of Liturgy. From 1960 to 1971 he served as a missionary in Africa, where he founded the Monastère de l’Assomption and taught at Lovanium University in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). Beginning in 1959, he was a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Liturgy and later served as a liturgical consultant and expert (peritus) at the Second Vatican Council, as well as one of the authors of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium). After the Council, he became a member of the Consilium …Okuninzi
Rev Gerardo Saco resigned from his appointment as Bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran in the Philippines. Pope Leo XIV appointed Rev. Saco on 25 March 2026, with the episcopal ordination scheduled for 26 May. On 5 May, Cebu Archbishop Alberto Uy announced that Leo XIV had accepted Rev Saco’s resignation. Rev Saco suddenly discovered a “change of heart” and “human limitations and inadequacies”. However, it is more likely that there is an undisclosed issue behind this decision. Choosing Bishops with Hidden Scandals Declining after papal appointment and before ordination used to be very rare in the Church. It has increased in the past decade as a side effect of deliberately appointing compromised or unsuitable candidates. In Argentina alone, Francis appointed three priests as bishops who then resigned from the episcopal consecration weeks later. Bishop Pascalis Syukur, who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a woman and had fathered two children, accepted Pope Francis’s …Okuninzi
From DA: "I am a practicing catholic. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground, pastors kidnapped and killed. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing. NO named condemnations, NO emergency visits, NO breaking of protocol, just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace - directed at nobody in particular. BUT the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages and had three Cardinals appear on 60 minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. Bishop Strickland was removed for defending the Church doctrine. Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico was removed for defending religious exemptions that the cathechism itself supports.

On 29 April, the Canadian homosexual activist Jake Tucker, 39, was found guilty of multiple sex-trafficking and assault-related charges following a trial in Barrie, Ontario. Tucker is in a homosexual "marriage" and produced/bought a baby girl via surrogacy. In the past, he has organised homosexual events, drag nights, flag raising, and other local activist initiatives. According to prosecutors, Tucker recruited, controlled and exploited two women for several years, arranging their prostitution and taking a share of the profits. He also used coercion, violence and drugs to maintain control. The case began in 2022, when a woman reported to the police that Tucker had trafficked her for years. Investigators later identified a second alleged victim who made similar claims. After the verdict, Tucker denied the allegations and said he plans to appeal, arguing that the women were lying and that the police investigation was flawed. He is expected to return to court for sentencing and could face …Okuninzi
The Secret Purpose Behind Your Suffering Suffering is essential for spiritual growth and conformity to Christ. It is a gift from God, allowing us to participate in Christ’s suffering and share in His glory. By embracing suffering, we purify ourselves, learn virtues, and offer our trials for the salvation of others. Fr.

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh HOLY SMOKES. DOJ report just dropped a bombshell: The Biden DOJ aggressively targeted and harassed Christians, privately called them "CULTISTS" and sought out HARSH prison sentences for peaceful protests Even worse: They used the SPLC to do it! This is outright Christian persecution, right on American soil! LOCK UP everyone who carried this out. "That went beyond disagreement and moved to punishing Christians who held conservative religious beliefs in conflict with the administration's pro-choice gender ideology agenda." "The report found the Biden DOJ brought multiple cases against pro-life activists, many of them Christians, under the FACE Act, the freedom of access to clinic entrances." "Email correspondence shows prosecutors privately mocked Christian pro-life views as culty and pursued more severe charges and harsher sentences for peaceful protests or pro-life defendants." "In contrast, following the Dobbs decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade, …Okuninzi

Paintings So Real, You Can Hardly Resist Believing An exhibition of works by Francisco de Zurbarán at London’s National Gallery highlights the painter’s ability to draw in the viewer with detail and drama. “The Crucifixion” (1627) by Francisco de Zurbarán opens the exhibition.Credit...The Art Institute of Chicago By Emily LaBarge May 2, 2026 No one does high drama — the agony and the ecstasy, the deepest blacks and brightest whites, the crispest lines and most lucent objects — like the Spanish Catholic Baroque painters. There is a painting of Christ on the cross so exquisitely rendered, so realistically modeled in light and shade, it was said by an 18th-century writer, that everyone who saw it believed it to be a sculpture. This work, “The Crucifixion” (1627), by the painter Francisco de Zurbarán, who spent most of his life in the southern Spanish Andalusian capital, Seville, opens the exquisite and tightly curated survey of the visionary artist’s work that is on through Aug. 23 …Okuninzi
Sunday, May 4, 1913: Grand Jury to Take Up Phagan Case Tomorrow Sunday, May 4th, 1913 The uncertainty that has marked every phase in the case of Mary Phagan probably will be somewhat removed when the new Fulton County Grand Jury for the May term of the Superior Court meets tomorrow. Definite action by that body is anticipated after the Coroner's jury, which also resumes its sessions tomorrow, has reached a decision. The action, it is believed, will be the result of the efforts of a small army of private detectives retained by the authority of Solicitor General Dorsey. The number of the detectives could not be determined, but it is the opinion in official circles that the county and the State are ready, if necessary, to spend an unlimited sum to bring the murderer of Mary Phagan to justice. The State has taken a hand in the investigation, co equal with the city, and every force at the command of the Solicitor General has been employed to unravel the mystery. It was at the request of …Okuninzi
