2 Peter 2:21-22
It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs:
“The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”

Leo Affirms Francis on Blessing of Gay Couples

Leo XIV’s answer on Cardinal Reinhard Marx and homosexual blessings was a containment strategy.
Asked about Marx’s decision in Munich to press forward with blessings for homosexual couples, Leo did not say that such couples cannot be blessed as couples. He did not say that Fiducia Supplicans created confusion. He did not say that Rome would discipline Marx. He did not even place Catholic sexual morality at the center of the answer. Instead, he began by saying that “the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters,” then shifted to “justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion,” which he said “would all take priority before that particular issue.” Only after that did he say the Holy See does not agree with the “formalized blessing of couples,” whether homosexual couples or other irregular couples, “beyond what was specifically” allowed by Francis.
That is the whole game.
The word doing the work is formalized. Leo did not close the …

Bishop Bätzing Stands by Homosex "Blessing Ceremonies"

Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, Germany, told KNA that his diocese continues to offer "blessings" for homosexual couples: "Pastoral workers are encouraged to responsibly respond to this desire and organize blessing ceremonies with the couples."
As he put it: "Even though there are differing views on this within the global church, I see this practice in the diocese of Limburg as being within a responsible framework."
Those blessings "serve people and do not endanger the unity of the Church," said Bishop Bätzing.
Until a few weeks ago, he served as chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference.

Does state secularism spell the end of the Catholic Church in Quebec?

Canada's Quebec was once a strong French Catholic province. Canada is founded on Christan roots. However, the Quiet Revolution going back to the 1960s to modernize and turn the province from a Catholic-centred society into a modern, secular and technocratic state has been largely done. The province took another step recently to complete the process.
On April 2, 2026,
Bill 9 An Act respecting the reinforcement of laicity became law in Quebec. One could argue the old Liberal government's slogan to be, "Maîtres chez nous," (Masters of our own house), from 1960-1966, has now been fully accomplished in education, healthcare, workplace and places of worship.
What is the new laicity law supposed to do? Reinforce secularism in public spaces and the workplace. Bill 9 bans the display of religious symbols and prohibits religious practice in all government institutions such as childcare centres, healthcare facilities and private schools.
"Religious practice" is defined as "any action, except the …

Prevost promotes the falsification of Jesus and the Virgin—depicting them not as Jews, but as Black—in Equatorial Guinea.

Mocking the biblical Jesus Christ, the Marxist apostate Robert Prevost recited the *Regina Caeli* before an image of a black woman with a black baby on her back.
Prevost celebrated a Marxist, inculturated "Mass" at the Malabo Stadium, before an image of a Black "Virgin" and a Black, Marxist "Baby Jesus." Equatorial Guinea.
The Marxist Prevost—while promoting a false Black Christ—has the cynicism to proclaim himself the successor of Peter.

German troubles

German Church defiantly moves ever closer to schism. After Pope's statement: Dioceses and laypeople defend blessing ceremonies.

Confusion with marriage is ruled out
On his return flight from his trip to Africa, the Pope rejected formal blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples. In Germany, Catholics are now wondering what the statements actually mean.
Following the recent statements by Pope Leo XIV, the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK) is defending blessing ceremonies for couples who are not married in the Church. There is no reason to retract a corresponding directive, said ZdK President Irme Stetter-Karp on Friday in response to an inquiry from the Catholic News Agency (KNA) in Berlin.
The document, titled "Blessing Gives Strength to Love," merely recommends "allowing blessing ceremonies for couples who do not wish to enter into a sacramental marriage or for whom such a marriage is not available," Stetter-Karp emphasized. "Nothing more and nothing less. Any confusion with the sacrament of marriage is out of the question."

It appears that Leo is between a rock and a hard spot. If he maintains strict actions with the Germans, he soon will have a mutiny to deal with.
However, this anti-blessing Papal talk, especially from a Pope who only promotes rump rangers to Cardinals and Bishops, doesn't make sense at all.
It' like deep inside Leo approves this, along with female Clergy, but to say it out loud would put his head on the chopping block.
My advice for Leo is to create a parallel Catholic Church, in which anything modern will be accepted and embraced, including the Amazonian Rite.
Let the Black Pope run that show ( Arturo Sosa )
The rest of the Church would adhere to the strict Apostolic Practices with a Particular Cardinal in charge. Leo thus would be King over both organizations, everyone would be happy, Rejoice.

(
LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
“The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote.
“The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …

Cardinal of Munich Frustrated by Online Success of Critics of Synodal Path

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz.
He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence.
“This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.”
And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …More

Therefore you see ‘an extremely bright light’, which signifies the Father, who is without the stains of illusion, failure or deceit. And in the light is ‘the figure of a man the colour of sapphire’, which represents the Son, who is without the stains of hard-heartedness, envy or evil, and who before all time, according to his divinity, was begotten of the Father, but afterwards, in time, according to his humanity, became incarnate in the world. And ‘it was all burning in a delightful red fire’; this is the fire without the stains of aridity, mortality or darkness, which represents the Holy Spirit, by whom the Only Begotten of the Father was conceived in the flesh, born in time of the Virgin and poured out his light, truth and brightness over all the world."

People have fallen into unbelief because they have completely lost the spirit of prayer

People have fallen into unbelief because they have completely lost the spirit of prayer, or never had it at all—in short, because they do not pray.
The prince of this century [the devil] has free rein in the hearts of such people; he is their master. Because they do not pray, they do not ask the Lord for the dew of His Grace (for only those who seek receive the gifts of the Lord).
Consequently, their hearts, corrupted by nature and lacking the nourishing dew of the Holy Spirit, have dried up. From this extreme dryness, they are finally set ablaze by the hellish flame of unbelief and various passions.
The devil then knows how to ignite the passions that sustain this terrible fire, triumphing at the sight of the perishing souls—souls redeemed by the blood of Him who purified them.

The Apollo missions and the Vietnam war. And the Artemis mission and the greater Israel war. The links will startle you.

One of the most interesting parallels between today's moon adventure and the moon adventure of the Apollo mission is how the moon mission was used to distract the public from unconscionable wars. Back then it was Vietnam.
Today? Was the moon again being used as a production sleight of cia hand to distract from Iran, Lebanon and Palestine?
What is Apollo but the God of War.
The moon mission sure required funds. Like creating the folding moon car that folded to the size a suitcase to fit into the moon shuttle. Sure. Haven't seen one folding car, despite this having been invented in the 60s. So that money was put where??? A siphon project.
It's Apollo during the Vietnam War. The gods of the ruling elite are in the cosmos. And the worshippers of these gods are fundamentally at war with Christianity. Then humanity broadly. The appetite is ceaseless.

‘The Book of Questions’ – St. Birgitta of Sweden – Interrogation 10, Revelation 4, pages 17-21; ‘Christ beautifully praises every limb of the Virgin Mary his Mother’

[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer]
Revelation 4 ~ The fourth revelation in the Book of Questions, in which Christ beautifully praises every limb of the Virgin Mary his Mother, giving them a spiritual and allegorical meaning by comparing them to virtues; he also declares the Virgin to be most worthy of a queenly crown.
The Son speaks: ”I am crowned king in my divinity without beginning and without end.
A crown has neither beginning nor end; thus it is a symbol of my power, which had no beginning and will have no end. I had another crown, too, in my keeping: I myself, God, am that crown. It was prepared for the person who had the greatest love for me. And you, my most sweet Mother, won this crown and drew it to yourself through righteousness and love. The angels and other saints bear witness that your love for me was more ardent and your chastity more pure than that of any other, and that …More

"Second question. ”How does your divinity encompass all things in itself yet is encompassed by none, and contains all things yet is contained by none?”
Answer to the second question. ”As to how my divinity can encompass all things in itself, I answer: I, God, am spirit. I speak, and it is done. I command, and all obey me. I am truly he who gives being and life to all, who, before making the sky and the mountains and the earth, exist in myself, who am above and beyond all things, who am within all things, and all things are in me, and without me there is nothing. And since my Spirit blows where and when it will, and can do all things, and knows all things, and is swifter and more agile than all other spirits, possessing every power and seeing beforehand all things present, past, and future, accordingly, my Spirit, that is my divinity, is rightly incomprehensible, yet comprehends all things.”

War is good in only one instance: when it is successfully prevented. Of course, every state has the right to defend itself against aggression. There is no point in debating that. Even a state under attack has a duty to do everything in its power to avoid war. And by that I do not mean that one should give in to the enemy’s threats. Such a submissive attitude usually provokes even greater aggression. In my opinion, Iran has provided an excellent example in recent decades of how to avoid war.
If you’ve read that Iran sought to build a nuclear bomb and thereby threatened the civilized world, then you’ve read that. And if you believe it, that speaks to your thoughtlessness and your susceptibility to primitive propaganda. Such a mainstream claim has just as much to do with the truth as COVID-19 has to do with a pandemic—namely, nothing at all.

Trump would like to see Putin at G20 in Miami

President Donald Trump said that he would like to see his counterpart, Vladimir Putin, at the G20 summit in Miami, even as he expressed doubt that the Russian leader would actually come.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the White House intends to invite Putin to the G20 summit in December, while a senior administration official said Russia would be welcome at both ministerial meetings and the leaders’ summit.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Pankin said there was already an invitation for Russia to participate “at the highest level,” but it is too early to say who will attend. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov likewise said Moscow will decide closer to the date who will represent Russia.
Trump said he knew nothing about any official invitation yet, but added that “if he came, it would be probably very helpful.”
“I’m of the opinion that you talk to everybody. I’m not one of these guys who, ‘Oh, let’s not talk to him,’”
Trump told reporters at the White House …

Moscow, however, has little interest in the old G8 logic Trump keeps invoking. Peskov previously said the G8 “has lost its relevance” for Russia, while the G7 looks “bleak” and “ineffective” compared to the G20. He has also argued that the G7 no longer reflects the real balance of the global economy, whereas the G20 includes the major growth centers and “better reflects the economic locomotives of the world.”

USCCB Partners With Radical Bishop To Roll-Out New Ecological Program Across U.S. Dioceses

On a recent sweltering Saturday typical of April in Arizona, around 100 people from across the state gathered at the pastoral center of the Phoenix Diocese for a day of prayer and contemplation on the environment.
The diocese’s second Creation Summit opened with a reflection by Phoenix
Auxiliary Bishop Peter Bui, with the rest of the day divided around three topics: migration and creation; local steps to address poverty and creation; and action planning, where Catholic parishioners and people of other faiths worked to develop localized blueprints for environmental initiatives.
“[We] brought them together to be in community and to journey together for the day and then they were all sent out having an opportunity to form an action plan with their communities,” said Abigail Poole, the diocese’s Catholic social teaching coordinator.
The Phoenix Diocese too is developing a plan of its own, as one of 19 dioceses taking part in an inaugural national training program to compose ecological …
