On 24 April, Bishop Joseph Strickland posted a comment on X regarding Pope Leo XIV's response to a question on blessings for homosexual couples in the Archdiocese of Munich during the flight from Africa to Rome. Monsignor Strickland called the distinction between 'formal' and 'informal' blessings, as referenced in 'Fiducia Supplicans', confusing because sin cannot be blessed. Likewise, the suggestion that there are 'greater and more important' moral issues than sexual morality must be understood with great care: "The Church has never taught that sins against chastity are of little importance." "Sacred Scripture and the constant teaching of the Church affirm that sexual morality touches deeply on the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of marriage, and the proper ordering of love." Leo XIV had said that there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, equality, and the freedom of men and women and of religion. Bishop Strickland responded: "The moral law is not …ተጨማሪ
UTRGV Hosts First Campus Eucharistic Procession | Shalom World News The first Eucharistic procession has taken place at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, marking a milestone for its Catholic community. Organized by the campus ministry, the event brought together students and staff in a public display of faith centered on the Blessed Sacrament.

Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources. This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988." The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act". Excommunication of entire FSSPX ? Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour. Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops". Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism …ተጨማሪ
How did Monsignor Lefebvre and the SSPX feel about the possibility of being excommunicated from the conciliar church? "I should be very happy to be excommunicated from this Conciliar Church" (July 29, 1976). "So we are excommunicated by Modernists, by people who have been condemned by previous popes. So what can that really do? We are condemned by men who are themselves condemned” (June 15, 1988). “We have never wished to belong to this system that calls itself the Conciliar Church. To be excommunicated by a decree of your eminence…would be the irrefutable proof that we do not. We ask for nothing better than to be declared ex communione…excluded from impious communion with infidels”; "To be publicly associated with the sanction [of excommunication] would be a mark of honour and a sign of orthodoxy before the faithful, who have a strict right to know that the priests they approach are not in communion with a counterfeit Church” (July 6, 1988).
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giancarlo Dellagiovanna, 64, as Apostolic Nuncio to El Salvador. This follows one of the more unusual diplomatic incidents of the past year. On 15 March 2025, Pope Francis had named Monsignor Dellagiovanna as Apostolic Nuncio to Burkina Faso. He was consecrated as a bishop by Cardinal Pietro Parolin in Rome on 25 April 2025. However, his tenure was unusually brief, lasting only five months. On 15 August 2025, his resignation from the Burkina Faso post was quietly accepted with the appointment of a successor. The resignation remains unexplained. According to the Italian blog Cielo e Roma, the move was allegedly due to health reasons. Dellagiovanna joined the Holy See’s diplomatic service in 2005. He served in the nunciatures of Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Italy, as well as in the Secretariat of State’s Section for General Affairs. In August 2019, AciStampa.com reported that he was Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s ghostwriter. #newsRwxvrvalew
Even stranger is that the Pope has imposed a coadjutor archbishop on Cardinal Nzapalainga, 59, the metropolitan archbishop of Bangui in the Central African Republic, and this archbishop is a heretical Jesuit admirer of Francis who likes to dress up.
There are now *hundreds* of churches being burnt down in France and Germany every year. Dozens a year in the US and Canada, as well as Britain, Spain and Austria. Christendom is under attack, and nobody can ever name the perpetrators. What is going on?
Short answer? Chastisement. They can but don't want to name the real suspects. Because those are sitting in Rome as in almost all governments in the Once Time Ago Christian west europe.
Ken Klippenstein writes on April 24 the truism that the U.S. has long maintained extensive intelligence and security monitoring of the Vatican. The used agencies are the CIA, NSA, FBI, and State Department. - The CIA is represented in the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican and the Agency has been penetrating the Vatican government and diplomatic corps for years. It has human spies working inside the Holy See bureaucracy. - The NSA intercepts Vatican communications, emails, and texts, working independently and through a joint NSA/CIA “Special Collection Service.” - The FBI investigates crimes committed against and by the Vatican. It also regularly provides threat intelligence to the Pope during his travels. FBI documents show that the first Trump administration sought to beef up its coordination with Italian intelligence agencies and Vatican officials on things like cyber security, white collar crime, human trafficking, art theft and other issues. - The State Department closely follows the ins …ተጨማሪ
If Ken Klippenstein is 38 yrs old, then he was 4 yrs old when Bill Clinton became President. During the Clinton Presidency there was a row between JPII and Clinton himself. Clinton promised JPII that he opposed international funding of abortion. Clinton's promises don't come with a guarantee, and soon he “forgot” all about his promise. Afterwards, JPII publicly opposed Clinton's abortion policy. Clinton's reply came weeks later. The US embassy building to the Holy See was closed, and the office(s) moved to the Embassy to the State of Italy. The BS excuse was that it would save money.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing." When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished.

The Vatican has accepted the appeal filed by the Benedictine monks of the Valle de los Caídos against the Spanish government’s planned “re-signification” of the monument, according to Spanish media. The move is being seen as a setback for the pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid, whom critics accuse of having capitulated to the government during negotiations. Cardinal Cobo has repeatedly said that the Archdiocese of Madrid has no authority over the basilica or the Benedictine community and that responsibility lies with the Vatican. The complex includes the Basilica of the Holy Cross and the Benedictine monastery. The Sánchez government’s plans amount to the secularisation of an important Catholic religious sites. The government is expected to present in June the redevelopment project known as “La base y la cruz,” which will lay out the next stage of the redesign. This will coincide with the June visit of Pope Leo XIV to Spain. #newsDrmmbzsumh
True, He doesn’t hear those who destroy for the sake of destruction, He never heard the ayatollahs for 46 years waging war against their own people and anyone else, but that is not what the false prophet is implying, no...

On 23 April, Bishop emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on X.com on the homosexual 'blessing' in the Archdiocese of Munich: "This is evil and must be opposed by every faithful Catholic. Woe to so-called shepherds who lead the sheep astray. Rome should speak clearly and immediately but all I hear is silence. Blessing sin is the complete opposite of love." Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has instructed all priests and full-time pastoral staff in the archdiocese to perform, enable or facilitate 'blessings' of same-sex and adulterous couples. #newsRyvhmffviq
@chris griffin I guess you just don't understand what I post or what I'm about now do you? It is clear you can't make the connection between abortion and the "Errors of Russia." And you can't make the connection between Our Lady of Fatima and Her words, "only I can help you." I really don't understand how that is lying? God bless you!
Pope Leo XIV just referred to Pope Francis as having "entered heaven." That's not how the Catholic Church has ever spoken about a deceased pontiff. Tradition demands prayer for the dead — not presumptive sainthood without formal canonization. This episode of Faith and Reason investigates the growing controversy. The hosts argue that Leo's language signals a dangerous departure from established doctrine — and they trace it back to Francis's own influence. Accounts suggest Francis considered Leo a "saint" before he even became pope and played a major role in his rapid rise through Church ranks. The picture is clear: the Church is facing a deep internal crisis over doctrine, identity, and its relationship with the modern world. Again Pope Leo Says Francis is in Heaven – Canonization Coming Soon?
Today, Leo XIV visited a notorious prison in Bata, Equatorial Guinea as part of his Africa tour. Inmates gathered in the courtyard, singing, dancing, and cheering, despite being soaked due to heavy rain. Leo XIV prayed with them and gave an Apostolic Blessing. Prisoners reportedly shouted things like “Freedom!” and “Libertad!” during the visit.

Canada’s House of Commons passes bill that could criminalize quoting the Bible Canada’s House of Commons has passed a controversial bill that could criminalize the public reading or quoting of the Bible on issues of marriage, sexuality, and human life. Bill C-9, known as the “Combatting Hate Act,” was introduced by Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser and passed on March 25, 2026, in a 186–137 vote. The bill was supported by Liberal and Bloc Québécois MPs, while Conservatives, the NDP, and the Green Party voted against it in rare cross-party opposition.
Canadá: La Biblia camino de convertirse en el gran libro prohibido La Cámara de los Comunes de Canadá aprobó el pasado 25 de marzo el proyecto de ley C-9, conocido como Ley contra el Odio, que elimina la exención histórica que protegía la expresión religiosa de buena fe frente a las leyes de propaganda del odio. La norma ha sido remitida al Senado para su revisión final, y tanto el Cardenal Frank Leo, arzobispo metropolitano de Toronto, como la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Canadá (CCCB) han exigido enmiendas que garanticen explícitamente la libertad de religión, conciencia y expresión. hmtv
Canada’s House of Commons passes bill that could … The legislation removes a longstanding religious exemption from Canada’s hate speech laws, opening the door to potential criminal charges against Christians who publicly affirm biblical teachings on topics such as homosexuality and gender. Constitutional experts and faith leaders have condemned the bill for empowering police and courts to punish individuals based on subjective claims of “hateful” feelings rather than clear incitement to violence. The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops issued an open letter strongly opposing the removal of the religious exemption and calling on the Senate to reject the amendment. Campaign Life Coalition warned that the bill will almost certainly lead to increased persecution of Christians and pro-life advocates under the guise of combating hate. CLC Campaigns Manager David Cooke stated: “With the passage of Bill C-9 in the House, Christians and pro-life advocates will almost certainly face an …ተጨማሪ
