German and Austrian Catholics against vast right-wing conspiracy

Statement by the Presidium of Catholic Action Austria (KAÖ) and the Presidium of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK)
For a Catholicism of Universal Human Dignity
KAÖ and ZdK against Neo-Integralism, Right-Wing Extremism, and Right-Wing Populism.
May 8, 2026
Catholic Action Austria (KAÖ) and the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK) stand for a socio-political Catholicism that courageously raises its voice for an inclusive and socially just society and for a liberal-democratic legal order, publicly advocates for its convictions, and articulates them in public discourse.
Therefore, both organizations formulate the following guiding principles and common positions:
KAÖ and ZdK are committed to democracy.
In a democracy, the best solutions are sought through debate. Majorities are formed that make decisions in accordance with universal fundamental rights. Minorities are protected. Rights are enforceable and apply to everyone. It is the best form of government, one that the …

Pope Leo defends Pope Benedict

The future Pope Leo defended Pope Benedict XVI’s Regensburg speech in 2006

Benedict XVI's Regensburg Address caused a global uproar in 2006.
The whole address in English
A quote about Muhammad fueled Islamic-Christian conflicts. The current Pope Leo XIV defended Benedict early on.

The current Pope Leo XIV defended the controversial Regensburg Address of Pope Benedict XVI from 2006 early on. This is evident from a lecture given in Brno (Czech Republic) by the then-Augustinian Superior Robert Prevost on September 25, 2006, two weeks after the Pope's Regensburg Address. It is included in a book published on Monday, which presents contributions by the current Pope from the years 2001 to 2013.
In his address, Prevost said: "We all know what happened after the speech: Because of a quote taken out of context—let's leave aside the question of whether it was opportune or not—protests were triggered in the Islamic world."
Prevost believes Benedict was misunderstood
After describing these protests, Prevost continued by observing that few had grasped the central point of …

Prevost attacked the Pope, twisted his words and lied about pagan religions. So plainly he didn't defend him. If he wanted to defend him he would have simply pointed out that the violent protest that resulted in a muder of a Catholic nun and widesread destruction of property was an apt demonstration of the truth of Popes Benedict's address. In other words QED.

Our Lady, leader of a vast right-wing conspiracy

“The Virgin Mary is a central figure in neo-traditionalism.”
The Virgin Mary occupies a crucial place in Catholicism, even more so within its conservative and traditionalist wing. Why? How is this manifested today? David Douyère, a specialist in contemporary Catholicism, offers some answers.
“The Virgin Mary is not co-redemptrix,” asserted the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) in the doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis, published in November 2025. The document aimed to clarify the Magisterium’s position on the status and role of Mary, reiterating that, according to the Catholic faith, “only God can bestow grace.”
This high-level theological text may have seemed secondary at first glance, but it provoked numerous reactions. A wave of indignation at this “degradation” of the Virgin Mary came primarily from conservative circles within the Church. To better understand this phenomenon, cath.ch gathered an analysis from David Douyère, professor of information and communication …

Dignare me laudare te, Virgo sacrata.
Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos.

From the writings of Saint Alphonsus Liguori:
Now, as the King of Heaven is Infinite Goodness itself, He desires to enrich us with His graces, but as great confidence on our part is necessary to obtain them, He has, in order to increase our confidence, has given us His Own Mother as our Mother and mediatrix to assist us. Therefore He wishes us to place our hope of salvation and of all goods and graces in Her.

Cardinal Fernandez maintains that Francis is not dead- metaphorically

"One year later, Francis is not dead. It's dishonest to say that Leo wants to erase him."
Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández: "Prevost asks us to follow his lesson in humility."
Someone should tell him- Francis is dead in every sense leaving behind a trail of moral devastation extensively detailed on this blog.
Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, April 21st will be the first anniversary of Pope Francis's death: what is your last memory?

"In one of the last audiences I had with him, when he was almost silent, he looked at me, smiled, and repeated a phrase he had already said to me in the past, at very important moments: 'Humble yourself and trust.'"
What did he mean?
"Renounce all pride and show signs of humility, because in this way God could accomplish a great work through you."
Looking back on these 12 years of pontificate, what is the moment that has remained most memorable for you?
"The first time he called me as Pope, my first …

Prevost's secret and unpublished letter to Benedict XVI on the day of his resignation: "Thank you for your courage."

On the 99th anniversary of his birth, the 2013 letter resurfaces: "Determined to confront abuses in the Church."
Seeing a Pope under attack, as he has these days, has brought back to mind for those with a good memory the constant criticism leveled at Benedict XVI during his pontificate. Among the often unfair and sometimes slanderous accusations leveled against Ratzinger was even that of having covered up for a pedophile priest in Germany. A lie that was revived even a few months before his death, causing the now elderly and frail Pope Emeritus profound pain. In reality, Benedict XVI—whose ninety-ninth anniversary of birth is celebrated today with a Mass in St. Peter's presided over by Cardinal Kurt Koch—was the Pope who did the most to combat the scourge of abuse in the Church. This recognition was bestowed upon him by his future successor, Robert Prevost, in a letter dated February 22, 2013, which remained unknown to the general public.
The day after the news of his resignation from …

What a deep fake! Whenever Bergoglian sect needs help, traitor Ganswein jumps in. Do you think we are so naive not to notice Prevost triumphant code language on the day when 2000 years of Papacy capitulated and gave in to the evil sect of ecclesiastical masonry? How dare you compare pachamama worshiper to st. Augustine or even Pope Benedict. As with Bergoglio, Ganswein always provides fake veneer of continuity of false prophets with the Popes of Catholic Church.
