“Why would the Synod of Bishops publish interviews with men who reject Catholic teaching on the nature of marriage, inspired as it is by the Holy Spirit, as part of its effort to discern the workings of the Holy Spirit in the Church today?” asked Fr. Gerald E. Murray writing at The Catholic Thing on Saturday. “The Synod has become the Holy See’s officially sponsored agent of destruction of Catholic doctrine, which is disparaged and dismissed as being deductive principles set forth in an immutable and rigid manner – sterile, regressive and ossified statements, as being “pre-packaged” doctrines, which are merely abstractions and theories,” Fr. Murray asserted.
Lots of people think the Online Safety Act only blocks truly disturbing content. That couldn't be further from the truth. A to Z of some of the crazy things that have been age-gated under UK law.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller has strongly criticized parts of the Synod on Synodality report, warning that some Church leaders are using the synodal process to introduce gender ideology and weaken Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality. Müller argued that blessings for same-sex or irregular unions are not simply pastoral issues, but represent a deeper shift away from Christian anthropology and doctrine. He also warned against “woke” ideology entering the Church, insisting that true mercy cannot contradict the Gospel or the call to conversion. “The Church will not save the world by imitating it,” Müller said, stressing that the mission of the Church remains fidelity to Christ and the full proclamation of the Gospel.
However, the real concern isn’t about Catholicity but their jobs, how much they are paid, the amount of discretionary spending, and whether they will still in charge of the board budget.
Thu May 7, 2026 - 12:44 pm EDTThu May 7, 2026 - 2:33 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), confirmed that the Vatican had rejected the German bishops’ conference’s (DBK) proposed official guidelines for the formal “blessings” of homosexual and other irregular “couples” in a 2024 letter. In a statement to Vatican News published May 6, Fernández confirmed that back in 2024, the DDF wrote a letter to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier in Germany saying that the DBK’s proposed guidelines for the “blessing” of homosexual “couples” contradict the 2023 Vatican document Fiducia Supplicans, which allows for the spontaneous, “non-liturgical blessing” of homosexuals. The cardinal prefect stressed that the text, which was published by the Vatican on May 4, also served as a rejection of the DBK’s official guidelines for the “blessings” of homosexual “couples,” the divorced and civilly “remarried,” …
May God have mercy on us, for our Church has fallen into the hands of our enemies. What a monumental tragedy it is to witness the abomination of two apostates usurping the office of Pope—Pachamama worshippers openly promoting the practice of sodomy: the Great Rebellion against God and the Church! To suffer the misfortune of beholding two demons incarnate—enablers of pedophiles—who have trampled upon the laws of God and violated every standard of decency. To be forced to watch as they corrupt the youth with total impunity. First, the apostate Bergoglio, who—without any fear of God—dared to refer to cross-dressing homosexuals posing as women as "girls"; and who promoted sacrilegious Communion for sodomites and adulterers, as well as pseudo-blessings for those unrepentant apostates living in concubinage. And then the other impostor, Prevost, who follows in Bergoglio’s diabolical footsteps—and does not stop there—but rather, shamelessly despising the Priesthood and the Papacy instituted …More
Pope Leo XIV met today with Cardinal Marx at the Vatican It comes after a week in which the Vatican publicly rebuked the possibility of same sex blessings as proposed by Marx and also floated the possibility of disciplinary actions if needed.
Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Reinhard Marx at the Vatican—just a few days after Rome issued a strong criticism of the ritualized blessings of same-sex couples in Germany.
Right, strong criticism of RITUALIZED blessings, while that same Rome sees no sin in sodomy. Germans are just a bit too forward about the same things that Vatican is pushing and it's hypocritical to blame them while being quiet about Vatican.
The number of Catholic weddings in Ireland fell by over half from 2014 to 2024, reflecting an increasing preference for civil marriages as well as a decline in marriage overall. Catholic weddings in the country fell by 51% over the decade-long period in a remarkable drop from 13,071 in 2014 to 6,425 in 2024, according to the Central Statistics Office. By 2024, civil marriages outnumbered Catholic marriages by a small margin at 6,743.
The French Bishops Conference has issued a communique stating that Pope Leo will visit the country at the end of September; 2 stops on the trip to include Paris, and Lourdes.

The anti-white culture of blame has become a business model. In the UK, Green Party “reparations commissioner” Antoinette Fernandez is demanding billions in compensation for the slave trade. Yet, according to reports, she descends from the Obas of Lagos, rulers historically linked to major slave trading operations. Historians claim one ancestor owned 1,400 slaves, while another reportedly brought slaves back from Brazil to build properties in Lagos.
Der antiweiße Schuldkult ist vor allem ein Geschäftsmodell. Ein Beispiel aus GB: Antoinette Fernandez ist die „Reparationsbeauftragte“ der Grünen und fordert Milliardenentschädigungen von Großbritannien für den „Sklavenhandel“. Wie jedoch die Daily Mail berichtet, ist die grüne Politikerin „eine Nachfahrin der Obas (Könige) von Lagos, die ... als bedeutende Sklavenhändler beschrieben werden, die mit Sklavengeschäften hohe Provisionen verdienten. Einem Historiker zufolge besaß einer von Frau Fernandez' Vorfahren persönlich 1.400 Sklaven, und ein anderer brachte sogar nach Brasilien verschiffte Sklaven wieder zurück, um für sich in Lagos Häuser zu bauen.“ Link: Greens hopeful calling for UK to pay reparations …
“Self defense has traditionally always been allowed by the Church. To talk about just war today is a very complex problem. Ever since the entrance into the nuclear age, the whole concept of ‘war’ has to be reevaluated” - Leo XIV last night.

Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …More

A letter in today's Irish Times claims that 'most Catholics' support women's ordination The letter writer claims that it should be 'the headline issue at the National Synodal Assembly of Ireland on October 17th, 2026'
So, what! The laity have no voice at all in changing dogma and traditional practices of the Catholic Church. Wrong is wrong even though everyone is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it.
Staff Writer May 4, 2026 News Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors. So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses. The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb. The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.” Chubb …
A newly emerged letter from pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, has revealed that he warned the German bishops in 2024 against proceeding with their proposed homosexual blessings. Dated 18 November 2024, the letter was addressed to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, who is responsible for liturgy. It was published today on X.com by Mexican priest Jorge Enrique Mújica, head of Zenit.org. In the letter, Tucho states that the German bishops’ proposed guidelines for blessings “effectively legitimise the status of such couples” and therefore contradict his homosexual pamphlet Fiducia Supplicans. He also criticises the German text for creating what amounts to “a kind of liturgy or para-liturgy” for homosexual blessings. Specifically, Tucho rejected: • the treatment of homosexual unions as a status to be publicly recognised, • the inclusion of ritual elements resembling marriage ceremonies, • prescribed …More
