Armed Muslims attacked twelve Catholic students as they prayed the rosary in a residential area on the outskirts of Jakarta, Indonesia.
The video of the incident (below), posted by KatolikG on Twitter.com, went viral on social media on 6 May. The students at Pamulang University in the southern city of Tangerang were conducting a house-to-house rosary on 5 May.
"As a result, two female students were injured and a Muslim man was assaulted for defending the students," said Siprianus Edi Hardum, a Catholic lawyer providing legal assistance to the students.
One of the injured students said that the group praying the rosary was confronted by the local head of the neighbourhood association. He told them: "If you want to pray, go to church, like we Muslims pray in the mosque."
The man left and returned with a mob that attacked the students. The victims were saved from further harm only because other Muslims came to their aid.
Throughout Europe, especially in London and Paris, Muslims pray in …More

Monsignor Cerro Chaves, Archbishop of Toledo, Spain, sanctions Rev. Francisco Delgado for alleged "dissatisfaction with the person and ministry of the Holy Father" which objectively would be justified.
Delgado wrote on Twitter.com (7 May): "By direct order of my archbishop, I am forced to suspend my activity on all networks and to suspend my participation in the media. I am not doing this of my own free will".
The priest defends himself against a "slander" of which he hopes to be able to give more details one day: "In spite of the persecution, I continue to maintain my intention to be faithful to the Church of Christ and to its visible head, who is Pope Francis".
Rev. Delgado was part of the online programme "La Sacristía de la Vendée". In it, several priests who wear cassocks and who have studied together at the then conservative Toledo seminary, joked that Francis, 87, might soon go to heaven, which is a bad wish only for those who have lost Christian faith and hope.

Churches are good for everything except celebrating the Mass according to the Roman Rite, which Francis' Traditionis Custodes wants to "ban".
The latest gag: Bettina Filacanavo, 50, a journalist posing as an "art student", sits for three hours on the altar of St Matthias church in Steinhausen, Switzerland. The church was built in the 17th century.
The first session took place on 4 May. It will be repeated on 26 May, with Filacanavo wearing a blue dress with a veil. When she is normal, she works as a spokeswoman for a Protestant aid organisation.
The title of the performance, which depicts Our Lady of Mercy (German: Schutzmantelmadonna) who is protecting people, is "Mothers". The idea - to fight against war and rearmament in Europe - would not be bad if it were not mixed with blasphemy and infantile feminist prejudices. To quote: "Mary, who experienced all this suffering - war, flight, loss of her child - stands in my work as a woman of resistance. She stands for all women who resist …More

The world's first invalid deaconess is Harare Angelic Molen. Orthodox Archbishop Serafim of Zimbabwe, who belongs to the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, invalidly "ordained" her on 2 May.
Serafim told OrthodoxDeaconess.org: "She will do what the deacon does in the liturgy and all the sacraments in our Orthodox services."
Already in 2016, the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and the whole of Africa decided to "allow" women to be "deacons". Molen works at St Nektarios Parish in Harare. She studies geography and "environmental sciences".
According to her, "the earth is a sacred (sic) gift from God". She insists that "we must protect it from harm and live in harmony with plants, animals and all living things".
Speaking about her fake diaconal ordination, Molen said, "At first I was nervous about entering the altar, but when Metropolitan Serafim blessed me to enter the altar as part of my preparation this week, those feelings went away and I felt comfortable. I am ready".

The Archdiocese of Nairobi, Kenya, "allowed" a polygamist, Patrick Ndachu, to marry in a church in Kiambu County on 5 May, reports TheKenyaTimes.com.
The archdiocese is headed by Archbishop Philip Anyolo, 67. A priest celebrated the alleged "marriage" between Ndachu and Margaret while Dina, Ndachu's second concubine, was in the pews. Dina agreed to the [pseudo] wedding on the condition that Ndachu divide his property between his two families.
Ndachu and Margaret "married" outside the Church in the 1970s, started a family, and have remained together for more than four decades. Ndachu later "married" Dina in the same way, with whom he also has children.
Local media report that it took five years to get "permission" for the polygamous wedding to take place.
"In the Church it is not allowed to marry two women. But when we are outside, I will announce to the world that I have two wives and I love them both," Ndachu said: "I did not want to hide anything. I asked them [whom?] to allow me to …More

The Vatican's Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, headed by Cardinal Miguel Ayuso Guixot, sent a message on 6 May to Buddhists celebrating 'Vesak', a festival commemorating Buddha's birth, enlightenment and passing [i.e.: descent into hell].
The message expresses the belief that Christians and Buddhists can work together to promote peace, reconciliation and resilience, "values deeply rooted in our respective religious traditions". In real life, there is no way to peace without Christ, the Prince of Peace.
It even speaks of the "noble teachings of our respective traditions" and believes that "the rituals and worship appropriate to our respective religious traditions" promote reconciliation and resilience.
In reality, Buddhist ideas are wrong and their rituals are demon worship, while the Vatican fights against "the rituals and worship" according to the Roman Rite, which originated with Christ and the apostles.
The message quotes Paul VI, Desmond Tutu, Buddha, St Paul and St Francis (…More

In another pointless private audience, Pope Francis gave another pointless interview to "La Freccia" (May 4), the free on-board magazine of the Italian railways. Apparently, Francis is an advertising partner of the company.
He reiterated his regret that he cannot use public transport as he did in Argentina: "Today it's one of the habits I miss the most (sic)". The reality: The Vatican has a train station, and Francis could reach all his many destinations in Italy by train, but he prefers private helicopters.
One semi-interesting statement was his call for a climate state religion. He believes that "everyone" should "change their lifestyle" and that governments have "not done enough" to promote climate hysteria.
"The whole of society [who is "society"?] must exert healthy pressure, because it is up to every family to think that the future of their own sons and daughters is at stake."
"Healthy pressure" is another word for state terror, a method used by Bergoglio in the Vatican.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil, will inaugurate on 11 May the mosaics of its southern façade, all created by Father Marko Rupnik.
The Sanctuary is the largest shrine in Brazil and the second largest church in the world after St Peter's.
The south façade is the second of the church's four façades to be covered with Father Rupnik's artefacts. The northern facade is Rupnik's largest work to date, covering an area of 40,000 m2. It has been unveiled to the public in March 2022.
Francis consistently protects Rupnik, who was credibly accused of fornicating with dozens of nuns. He was very briefly excommunicated and immediately recycled by Francis as a Vatican Lenten preacher.
One of his victims, Gloria Branciani, had a nine-year affair with Rupnik which she now describes as a "descent into hell". She told OsvNews.com (30 April) that "with Rupnik, the sexual dimension cannot be separated from the creative experience". According to her, "when he portrayed me, he explained that I …More

Rev. John Hunwicke, an Oxford scholar, linguist, and former Anglican parson who became a Catholic priest in 2012 for the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, died on April 30, after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Since 2022, his ill health and heart made it difficult for him to walk and breathe. He was a highly learned, truly listening and kind man who showed deep respect even for his theological enemies. In his spare time, he could be found reading the classics and Latin and Greek poetry.
For thirty years, he taught Latin and Greek. He described himself as stern teacher but he was also humorous and entertaining. Rev. Hunwicke used his erudition to defend the Roman Rite. Before the failed Novus Ordo was introduced, Hunwicke learned the Roman Rite when he still was an Anglican seminarian at St Stephen's House in Oxford.
Joseph Shaw, president of the English Latin Mass Society, writes in an obituary that Hunwicke, then an Anglican parson, joined the society as a friend, since only …More

An altar server at San Dominic Savio Parish, Archdiocese of Bogotá, Colombia, observed in April during Communion that a woman was taking the host with her hands, bringing it back to the pews and sharing it with her pet which was with her in the church.
At least the dog didn't take the communion with his paw. In his sermon on 28 April (video below), the parish priest, Reverend Laureano Barón, called it a "sacrilege" and urged the anonymous woman to go to confession with the bishop, who alone can absolve this "grave" sin in confession.
Rev. Barón has nothing against it when the faithful take communion with their hand, but they should put it into their mouth in front of the priest. He also mentioned a mother who took a piece of her host and gave it to her little boy, who had asked for it "to know what it tastes like". Strangely, the priest is surprised: "It seems that we do not understand that we are facing the greatest miracle in the world".
But then, Barón himself distributes communion …More

Robin Ward, an Anglican author, lay priest and Rector of St Stephen's House, Oxford, published on Twitter.com (2 May) a picture of a woman dressed as a "deacon" distributing communion at an Orthodox service in Zimbabwe.
The church, whose location is unclear, is said to belong to the tiny Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa under Greek-born Theodore II (Nikolaos Khoreftakis), who also likes to call himself "Pope".
The Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria introduced deaconesses in November 2016 under the pretext of reviving an "ancient practice" that in reality never existed. Much less is it an "ancient practice" for a deacon, not even a validly ordained one, to distribute Holy Communion.
The Orthodox are self-governing churches. So everyone does what they want. This is why many Orthodox groups are at odds with each other.

Nearly twenty scholars have written a statement on 2 May summarising the "crimes and heresies" of Francis.
Among the signatories is a cleric, Rev. Linus Clovis. They call on Francis "to resign from the papal office".
The lengthy 18-page text lists Francis' "crimes", including a long list of cases where Francis protected homosexual abusers and then lied about doing so ("sabotage of justice"). It also lists Francis' heresies, and analyses his roots and their consequences regarding Francis' tenure.
Promotion of homosexual abusers
When he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio protected his friend Rev. Julio Grassi, who was later convicted of abusing boys in homes for street children he founded. Francis commissioned a 2,600-page report for the Argentine Supreme Court that exonerated Grassi and attacked his victims. Bergoglio's attempt failed. When questioned about the report, he lied and said he had nothing to do with it.
Francis' friend, former Bishop Gustavo Óscar Zanchetta of …More

A friend of LepantoIn.org contacted the Archdiocese of Chicago regarding a blasphemous [pseudo] "blessing" of two lesbians at St Vincent de Paul Parish in Lincoln Park, Chicago.
The email criticised a 'public perversion' and was addressed to the archdiocese's Office of Canonical Affairs: 'This is nothing short of a public disgrace and the order of justice demands a firm response not only from your office but from the office of Cardinal Cupich,' the author of the email wrote.
The original complaint didn't mention the date of the incident. The response came from Rev. Daniel Andree, the Judical Vicar. He wrote that the email was "the first notice we have received of anything that took place on 22 April".
Dutifully, Rev. Andree reported that "I have noted the sources and have begun the process for an appropriate response", and thanked "for informing us, which is often the only way we learn what is happening 'on the street'" - as if diocesan officials don't spend most of their time surfing …More

The challenge of the next conclave is that most of the cardinals do not know each other and not all speak Italian, Cardinal William Goh of Singapore told NcRegister.com (30 April).
Cardinal Goh says about himself he is an introvert with a pious childhood ("going to church before class to pray the rosary at the age of 7"). He comes from a "not very religious" family, except for his mother.
Francis "is always popular with many of our Catholics [who have no idea of the real state of affairs in Francis' Vatican], and I think he is a beacon of hope, a beacon of mercy and compassion," Cardinal Goh says.
He is as critical of the former Synod of Bishops as a submissive Asian can be. He testifies to the oppressive climate during the event: "We could not be as open or direct as you would like to be ... for fear of offending people [= Francis] who have different views".
"It takes a lot of courage to say what you have to say and to be open about it," he says. He also speaks about "a subtle pressure …More

Rev. Joseph Williams, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul in Chicago, Illinois, officiated at a pseudo-marriage for two women in his church. They posted video footage on social media on 22 April and Rev. Williams confirmed that the video is real (OsvNews.com, 1 May).
One of the women, Kelli Beard, is a United Methodist minister. She will become an associate pastor at an Arizona church starting in July. The other, Myah Knight, is a mental health therapist who runs a 'religious trauma support group'.
Beard wore an off-the-shoulder champagne-coloured sequined dress, Knight a black suit with matching fedora and white tie. Rev Williams presided over an exchange of promises and blessed the two ladies.
Addressing the women by name, he asked: "Do you freely re-commit yourselves to love each other as holy spouses [sic!] and to live together in peace and harmony forever?" They answer: "We do, I do." Then Rev Williams blasphemed: "Loving God, increase and consecrate the love that Kelli and Myah have for …More

On May 2, Francis received the leading representatives of the Anglican Communion including its president, Justin Welby, the lay archbishop of Canterbury.
Francis recalled the “many occasions” he has received his “dear brother Justin” and that they have commissioned a number of Catholic and Anglican bishops to serve together.
“We must not be afraid of disagreements, but embrace them, leaving the primacy [of the pope] to the Paraclete.”
And, “It is a gift for me to feel close to the [heretical] communities that you represent. I am aware that the role of the Bishop of Rome is still a controversial and divisive issue among Christians.”
Francis wishes for a dialogue on this subject that "leaves behind useless controversies" in order to understand “how the Petrine ministry can be developed as a service of love for all.”

Bishop Mueggenborg of Reno, Nevada, has removed Rev. Honesto Agustin from his duties as a parish priest after a nude video of him was posted online.
Mgr. Mueggenborg said on 30 April that a suspicious social media account, a duplicate account with Agustin's name and picture, recently posted a ten-second video of him undressed and alone in his home.
After being alerted to the video, the diocese hired an independent investigator who concluded that the video was real and not generated by AI. The diocese doesn't believe the priest has committed any crime.
A complaint has already been filed with law enforcement against the person who allegedly created the account and posted the video.

A partial list of the lesser known homosexual propagandists among the Cardinals has been published on LaNuovaBq.it (April 30). None of them comes from Africa:
- Cardinal Anthony Poola, 62, of Hyderabad, India, supports various programmes to propagate transvestitism. He has personally participated in such events (e.g. "inclusive Christmas celebrations", Transvestite Day). Such actions are supported by Misereor, an aid organisation of the German bishops. Poola also praised the Vatican's decision to "allow" transvestites to participate in the sacraments of baptism and confirmation.
- Cardinal Jose Fuerte Advincula, 72, of Manila, Philippines, washed the feet of Ryan Borja Capitulo, chosen to represent the homosexual propaganda machine, on Maundy Thursday 2023. However, Capitulo calls his homosexuality a "struggle" and wants to live in chastity according to Catholic teaching.
- Cardinal Soane Patita Paini Mafi, 62, of Tonga, Polynesia, is a friend of Leitis, the only homosexual propaganda …More

Sister Jeannine Gramick, a homosexual activist who belongs to the School Sisters of Notre Dame, wrote to Francis that the 8 April document "Dignitas Infinita" "harms" transvestites whom "I love".
Playing on emotions, she wrote to Francis of "my sadness" and "my disappointment".
Francis replied and Gramick published quotes from her correspondence with him on NewWaysMinistry.org (1 May).
He writes: "Gender ideology is something other than homosexuals or transsexuals. Gender ideology makes everyone equal without respect for personal history. I understand the concern about this paragraph in Dignitas Infinita, but it does not refer to transgender people, but to gender ideology, which nullifies differences. Transgender people must be accepted and integrated into society". What Francis means by "gender ideology" is clear only to himself.
Francis recommended Robert Hugh Benson's novel 'The Lord of the World' to Gramick, which he says "depicts this movement to erase differences" - an interpretation …More
