The “marriage” of two transvestites at a church in Pompeya, Argentina, has no effect and will be annulled by decree, Archbishop José Adolfo Larregaín of Corrientes told CruxNow.com on February 17. Such a “marriage” is null ipso facto because it does not comply with the requirements of matter and form necessary for a valid sacrament, Archbishop Larregaín said:"That happens automatically, but a formal decree is issued." Safeguarding Sacraments The archbishop emphasized that welcoming "everyone" in the Church, including transvestites, does not mean that sacraments may be administered when essential conditions are not met: “It is important to take into account Pope Francis’s declaration Fiducia Supplicans - regarding blessings and the need to avoid confusion with the rite of marriage,” he said. The “Wedding” Transvestite Solange Ayala (male, dressed femal), and Isaías Díaz Núñez (female, dressed male) were married on January 28 at Our Lady of Pompeii Parish. The ceremony was presided …بیشتر
Catholic Democrats in Congress say ICE is violating God’s precepts in carrying out President Trump’s mass deportation mission. More than 40 Catholic members of the House released a statement of principles saying their church’s teaching is that every migrant “is Christ himself.” “We feel called in solidarity to stand with immigrants — especially those who are poor, marginalized, or fleeing hardship — and to ensure they are treated with dignity, justice, and compassion,” the Democrats wrote. “As Catholics and elected officials, we believe that addressing long-standing inequities and expanding meaningful opportunities for immigrants is an essential part of our responsibility to community and to those most in need.” The lawmakers said in their Friday statement that Catholic teaching allows for nations to control their borders, but “it is never a license for cruelty, indifference or dehumanization.” Continue reading at the Washington Times Post Views: 39

"Supporters of the traditional Latin Mass have urged Catholics not to confuse their movement with the more controversial Society of St. Pius X, commonly referred to as SSPX, whose leaders currently risk excommunication by threatening to ordain their own bishops"
Ordination tensions risk tainting all traditionalists, they say File photo of Cardinal Victor Fernández. (Photo: Vatican News) Published: February 17, 2026 05:48 AM GMT Updated: February 17, 2026 05:51 AM GMT Supporters of the traditional Latin Mass have urged Catholics not to confuse their movement with the more controversial Society of St. Pius X, commonly referred to as SSPX, whose leaders currently risk excommunication by threatening to ordain their own bishops. "We've waited patiently for Pope Leo to consider relaxing Latin Mass restrictions -- the SSPX has now thrown a hand grenade into this," said Joseph Shaw, chairman of the London-based Latin Mass Society, part of an international network of traditionalist groups. "We've absolutely no influence over their reasoning and timing, and their approach is completely separate. But we risk being lumped together by people who don't care one way or the other."

List of 45 Mass Murders and Pharma Drugs They Were On By WhiteOut Press -June 14, 2023 February 13, 2013. One month ago, and only three weeks after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook, two well-known 2nd Amendment activists were found mysteriously murdered on two different rural roads on two different sides of the country. One of them, firearms manufacturer John Noveske, had posted one final warning on his Facebook page. It was a list of all the recent mass shootings, the kids responsible and the Big Pharma drugs they were taking. Within days, he was dead. Here is his list. --- Noveske, one of the country’s foremost gun experts, had quickly become an expert in something else – Big Pharma drugs and their connection to mass shootings. --- While America’s corporate-owned news outlets invested hundreds of millions of dollars in broadcast air time to ceaselessly blame firearms for the skyrocketing number of mass killings, Noveske and millions of others noticed something else, something the …بیشتر

Cardinal Gambetti Defends "Refreshment Point" on St. Peter's Basilica : At a Vatican press conference on February 16, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti addressed the planned restaurant on St. Peter’s Basilica's terrace. In response to concerns, Cardinal Gambetti said that since restroom facilities already exist at the site without detracting from its sacred character, a bistro should likewise be acceptable. He added that he does "not know" how large the planned bistro will be or what it will serve.
Nel video le risposte del cardinale Mauro Gambetti alle domande che sono state poste ieri dai giornalisti (video integrale della conferenza stampa youtube.com/watch?v=0PRlL-APv7Y ) Sono state poste domande sul punto di ristoro in fase di realizzazione sulla terrazza della Basilica di San Pietro, sulle profanazioni che ci sono state e sugli investimenti etici. Il cardinale Mauro Gambetti riguardo al punto di ristoro ha risposto in maniera infastidita, affermando che essendoci dei servizi igienici che non arrecano danno alla sacralità del luogo allora ci può stare anche un bistrot. Bistrot di cui pur essendo lui arciprete della Basilica di San Pietro non conosce nè quanto sarà grande e nè cosa offrirà. Sono stati posti dubbi sul fatto che l'ENI, pur non rientrando tra le aziende di cui la Santa Sede ha stilato una lista con cui fare investimenti, sia stata scelta come partner per dei lavori. Anche riguardo le profanazioni il cardinale Mauro Gambetti ha risposto affermando che non si …بیشتر
Bank of England now allows ‘genderfluid’ men to wear eyeshadow and heels Under the leaked guidance trans women are allowed to maintain facial hair if they choose to do so
Banks should be dealing with money issues, not pushing an indoctrinating ideology about transgenderism. We don’t use banks to learn how decision people can dress.
Police arrested and visited a Christian pastor’s home after he peacefully commented on Islam and transgender ideology while street preaching in Bristol city center. Pastor Dia Moodley, 58, was arrested by Avon and Somerset Police officers last November in Broadmead on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred” under the Public Order Act 1986 for his speech, despite the fact that he had merely publicly shared his Christian views.
At the Vatican press conference of the Pontifical Academy for Life today, a journalist asked whether Catholic universities should allow faculty who publicly support legal abortion (video below). The exact question was: “Several U.S. bishops criticized Notre Dame for appointing a professor [Susan Ostermann] who supports legalized abortion. What responsibility do Catholic universities have to ensure their personnel uphold Catholic teaching on the dignity of life?” The response was given by Monsignor Renzo Pegoraro, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life. He was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on 27 May 2025. Rather than addressing the question of institutional responsibility, the answer focused on: • "The need for dialogue" • "Ongoing debates about abortion" • "Helping women and couples" • "Ethical and social dimensions" • "Not immediately only the legal aspect of the problem" From Intrinsic Evil to Ongoing Debate? Here are Monsignor Pegoraro’s full remarks: “We need a dialogue and …بیشتر
