Medforth AI German schoolteachers are increasingly at risk of violent aggression. According to an analysis of the country’s police crime statistic (PKS) published by news agency dpa today, the number of severe attacks more than doubled between 2015 and 2024. In 2024, the latest year for which numbers are available, German police counted 557 cases of severe violent crime against teachers. This category includes crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape and grievous bodily harms. By comparison, in 2015 only 268 such cases were counted, meaning that the number of violent attacks rose by 108 per cent. The number of intentional simple bodily harm – attacks that do not provoke lasting damage – also rose to a new high of 1,283 cases in 2024. The numbers were provided by the interior ministry in response to a request for information by the Greens Party. The police statistic shows that attacks on police officers, firemen and other emergency service personnel have equally gone up. Germany’s …
Cardinal Francis Arinze, 93, spoke to PerMariam.com about the serious damage being caused to the sacred liturgy: "If a priest introduces parts of the Mass that are not approved, or removes parts that are, he causes damage to the Church. Even if his intentions were good, perhaps he thought, 'I want to make the Mass more interesting. I want to make it more personalised' – that's a mistake. He is wrong."
Canada's Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, is another veiled attack on Christian belief. It changes the criminal code to include measures to fight hate propaganda and hate-motivated crimes. The law creates new criminal offences for obstructing and intimidating access to places of worship, schools, seniors' residences and the display of hate symbols in public places. Readers may have already realized the problem with such law: who gets to define the meaning of "hate"? To get a better idea of what the law could mean once passed we can look at the recent guilty decision against Finnish MP Paivi Rasanen. She expressed her Christian views in a pamphlet and for that she was convicted of "insulting" speech. When this happens everyone becomes afraid of speaking openly and freely. Rasanen had written a pamphlet back in 2004 expressing Christian teaching on marriage and human sexuality. The court ruled the publication's content “insults homosexuals as a group.” She did not harass anyone. The …
Since 2019, the German-speaking 'Conference on the Liturgy' has been working on a new book of blessings Benedictionale. The Vatican signalled its openness to the project in 2023, with completion planned for 2029. In an interview with katholisch.de on 9 April, the project's chairman, Benedictine Father Johannes Feierabend, said that the blessing formulas are "no longer formulated with priests and deacons in mind". Instead, they speak more generally of 'leadership'. It is still unclear whether laypeople would conclude blessings of the congregation with “May the Lord bless you” or “May the Lord bless us”. The new Benedictionale also includes blessings for homosexual and 'loving' couples: “We believe there should be a formula for this as well,” said Fr. Feierabend. This was the “only point that immediately caught the eye” in the Vatican. Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier suggested that the Vatican should draft such a formula. However, the German-speaking working group wants to write …More
04/10/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Let us start with the underlying psychological disorder. Malignant narcissism is a clinical term, not an insult. The social psychologist Erich Fromm coined the phrase in 1964 to describe Adolf Hitler, as a merger of pathological grandiosity, psychopathy, paranoia, and antisocial personality into a single character structure. The malignant narcissist is not merely vain. He is structurally incapable of genuine empathy, constitutionally immune to guilt, and driven by paranoid conviction that enemies surround him and must be destroyed. Already back in 2017, psychologist John Garnter and many other professionals were warning of Trump’s malignant narcissism. When power faces no limit, the only remaining internal check is conscience. And the psychopath has no conscience. The text above is taken from an article published on Easter Monday on commondreams.org: Trump and Netanyahu: Two Madmen Playing God. On the first day of the ceasefire between the …
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Guy Boulanger as Archbishop of Sherbrooke, Canada. Biographical Outline Born in 1963 in Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology, and earned a doctorate in canon law in Ottawa. Ordained a priest in 1991 for the Archdiocese of Sherbrooke, he held numerous pastoral and administrative roles, including parish priest, rector of a shrine, and vicar general. Pope Francis appointed him Bishop of Rouyn-Noranda in 2020 and also Bishop of Amos in 2023. He governed both dioceses simultaneously. Francis-Aligned Bishop His public profile presents a Francis-aligned, loyla bishop: supportive of synodality, pastorally focused on the poor, and attentive to Indigenous groups. During the diocesan synod, he opened consultation broadly to the population, even beyond Catholics. He framed the Church as a space “where everyone can express themselves and contribute” In 2025, after the election of Leo XIV, Boulanger stated that the new …More
That awful Vatican II ecumenism at work. Even Archbishop Chaput had a smudging ceremony when he was installed in Denver decades ago. Ecumenism leaves a smudge on even the good men.
Barnhardt Podcast #251: The Prayerful Posse: … In this case, the excuse that we do not know whether or not Prevost has repented is groundless, for a public scandal demands reparation through a public retraction. Moreover, this constitutes a sin of apostasy against God and against the Faith. We are not dealing with just any sin; its gravity is underscored by the fact that it confirms we are facing a heretic who publicly committed an act of apostasy—a transgression that fully compromises him and renders him unfit to exercise the office of the Papacy. Nevertheless, since this scandal came to light, Prevost has maintained his silence, looking the other way as if nothing had happened. REVEALED: Clergy who attended Pachamama ritual with apostate Robert Prevostsupport Marxist Liberation Theology. Nor does Prevost have any excuse for having committed an act of apostasy thirty years ago, for there is evidence that—prior to this act of apostasy—he was part of a group of Marxist Augustinian …More
The Pacha posse dropped the ball. I'm very fond of Fr Murray but this one is a slam dunk. I can see from his face that his brain is glitching with the contradictions. He needs to take some time out, ponder the matter and come to the obvious conclusion. It's not a nice place to be in but it is as it is - reality!
Furthermore, evidence of this ongoing betrayal is manifested in the public apostasy of the other members of the Conocoto sect. One need only examine the Marxist agenda of Prevost's comrades. To date, none of them has repented; on the contrary, Joaquín García Sánchez—who offered the sacrilegious, inculturated Mass that included the adoration of Pachamama—died in his obstinacy.
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira – Folha de S. Paulo, June 21, 1978 - There are both realistic and folkloric views of the United States. Undoubtedly, these views do not contrast on all points, but above all, they do not align with each other on everything. The folkloric view seems composed of sequins floating on the broad avenues of the cities of Babel. Tourists see these sequins and believe that the whole of American reality, even its deepest layers, is authentically reflected in them. Returning to their homelands, they take this image with them and spread it. In turn, this image attracts tourists to the US who appreciate folklore and sequins. Once they arrive in America’s Babel-like cities, they set out to find “souvenirs” to bring back to their relatives and friends. Naturally, these “souvenirs” feature sequins and the inevitable tourist exaggerations. In a highly commercialized society such as the American one, demand immediately awa kens supply. If tourists seek images of sequins …More

Thu Apr 9, 2026 - 6:45 pm EDTFri Apr 10, 2026 - 5:53 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Exorcist Father Chad Ripperger told Tucker Carlson that communists operate the same way demons do. In a nearly two-hour interview released Friday, Ripperger told Carlson he has observed that the methods of demons and communists closely mirror each other, something he has expounded on in a video series. “When you strip the veneer away of one being political and the other being spiritual, the patterns of thinking are exactly the same,” Ripperger said. “The demons always present temptation as this pie-in-the-sky thing that you’re gonna get, and you’re going to get this pleasure and joy and everything’s going to turn out right,” the exorcist noted. “But then once you give into the temptation, from there they take you down. It’s the exact same thing in communism.” Communism, too, provides a beautiful, idealistic vision about what it will provide. “You’re never gonna have to worry. The government’s gonna provide …
Une "messe de table" a été célébrée le jeudi saint 2 avril à l'église Notre-Dame du Finistère, en Belgique. Elle s'est déroulée autour d'une grande table de banquet, comprenant des éléments du repas. Certaines personnes âgées y ont participé. Le curé a prétexté que le carême se finit le jeudi saint et non pas après la vigile de Pâques et que nous pouvons donc déjà célébrer. La paroisse fait partie de l'archidiocèse de Malines-Bruxelles, dirigé par l'évêque Luc Terlinden, anciennement dirigé par le cardinal Joseph De Kesel. Rappelons que, dans cet archidiocèse l'année dernière, il y avait également eu une "messe de table" dans une autre paroisse de ce même archidiocèse, mais cette fois-là pour être en union avec "nos frères" musulmans pour couper le jeûne avec eux.
Oh, the Liturgy is the very banner of the Catholic Faith. As Pius XI says (Divini Cultus, 1928, Denz. 2200): "the liturgy is an undoubtedly sacred thing; for, through it we are brought to God and are joined with Him; we bear witness to our faith, and we are obligated to it by a most serious duty because of the benefits and helps received, of which we are always in need. Hence a kind of intimate relationship between dogma and sacred liturgy, and likewise between Christian worship and the sanctification of the people. Therefore, Celestine I proposed and expressed a canon of faith in the venerated formulas of the Liturgy: "Let the law of supplication establish the law of believing. For when the leaders of holy peoples administer legislation enjoined upon themselves they plead the cause of the human race before divine Clemency, and they beg and pray while the entire Church sighs with them"
The abbot of Fontgombault, Dom Jean Pateau interprets the baptism of desire irrationally. In the 16th century France, they interpreted the baptism of desire rationally. So today the Athanasius Creed has visible exceptions of the baptism of desire for the abbot, but in 16th century France, at the TLM, there were no visible exceptions for the Athanasius Creed. The interpretation of the dogma EENS, has exceptions for the Aboot but this was not the problem at Mass over the centuries. So the Mass offered by the Abbot is not theologically the same as that in the 16th century for example. He can correct the error by simply interpretating Vatican Council II rationally and so traditionally and not like the French Conference of Bishops.
Vatican Blocks Continuity of Procedure of Beatification and Canonization of Argentine Bishop -- no new Satanellis The Church has prohibited public veneration of non-canonized persons; Bergoglio, for instance, raised recognized Marxists and apostates to the altars—an act that constitutes the sin of idolatry. Bergoglio adulterated the concept of Martyrdom to include murders for political reasons. Even the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its Profession of Faith under Pope John Paul II, affirmed that the canonizations of saints were dogmatic facts. Since it has been established that Bergoglio signed fraudulent canonization processes, we conclude that he was not the Pope. For the Magisterium—both ordinary and extraordinary—of a Pope is infallible when it teaches on matters of faith and morals. Prevost mocks Sainthood But under Prevost, not only are apostate pagan priests elevated to the altars—following Bergoglio’s heretical parameters—but half-truths also continue to be …More
