Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.

instead of spending and wasting valuable time of this issue, what about abortion, birth control, pornography, child trafficking and heresy.

Kenyan appeal court overturns ruling that affirmed the right to abortion

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A court of appeal in Kenya Friday overturned a ruling that affirmed the right to access abortion, setting up a legal clash that is likely to be appealed again to the Kenyan Supreme Court.
The appeal was based on the 2022 case of a teenager who went to the hospital with pregnancy complications. A doctor who examined her determined she had lost the pregnancy, and provided emergency post-abortion care. They were acquitted by the high court.
The high court in 2022 had ruled that access to abortion was a fundamental right under the constitution, declaring the arrest and prosecution of women and health care providers unconstitutional.
The court of appeal on Friday reiterated that abortion denies a child the right to life as guaranteed in the constitution and is prohibited except in circumstances such as when the life …

How the U.S. Spies on the Vatican

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.

Péter Magyar Humiliates His Centrist Voters with Far-left LGBTQ Activist Education Minister

Reality check comes early for Péter Magyar’s moderate voters, who have made themselves instrumental in the appointment of Hungary’s first LGBTQ activist, pro-Ukraine far-left education minister.
Despite Rita Rubovszky — a headmistress of a Cistercian Catholic school — being touted for days as the most likely candidate for the post, Péter Magyar has ultimately decided to reward his voters with a gender-activist appointee. The choice could generate some buyer’s remorse among parts of Tisza’s electorate, but the move is likely designed to desensitize society before even more radical woke policies are introduced.
However, with the appointment of Judit Lannert, Péter Magyar’s self-proclaimed image as a “right-wing conservative” is slowly slipping. The new education minister is a well-known gender and pro-Ukraine activist, also noted for her past anti-Orbán government stance.
This comes only a day after an LGBTQ propaganda television channel applied for a license in Hungary.

Stop Using the Pope as Your Political Shield: Catholic Social Teachings is Not Your Ideological Playground
This post is about an activist student from the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines. She has been arguing certain issues involving the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and then, all of a sudden, she mentioned Pope Francis to support her political views.
“Babangon sa hukay si Pope Francis sa mga ginagawa niyo!”
Stop dragging the Pope’s name into everything like he’s some kind of political mascot for whatever narrative you’re trying to push. This issue? It’s not about him at all. You don’t get to name-drop the Pope just to give your argument fake moral weight. That’s not how the Church works.
Second, let’s get something very clear because a lot of people seem confused or just straight-up ignoring it. The Catholic Church explicitly condemns communism. Not “kind of,” not “depending on the vibe,” but clearly and repeatedly. Look at Pius XI, Pius XII …Bivule

Leo Affirms Francis on Blessing of Gay Couples

Leo XIV’s answer on Cardinal Reinhard Marx and homosexual blessings was a containment strategy.
Asked about Marx’s decision in Munich to press forward with blessings for homosexual couples, Leo did not say that such couples cannot be blessed as couples. He did not say that Fiducia Supplicans created confusion. He did not say that Rome would discipline Marx. He did not even place Catholic sexual morality at the center of the answer. Instead, he began by saying that “the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters,” then shifted to “justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion,” which he said “would all take priority before that particular issue.” Only after that did he say the Holy See does not agree with the “formalized blessing of couples,” whether homosexual couples or other irregular couples, “beyond what was specifically” allowed by Francis.
That is the whole game.
The word doing the work is formalized. Leo did not close the …

Tucker Carlson, who was often at Donald J. Trump’s side during the 2024 presidential campaign, is now expressing remorse for that support, saying he will long be “tormented” by his role helping Mr. Trump return to the White House.
Mr. Carlson, a titan of conservative media who has broken sharply with Mr. Trump over the war with Iran, acknowledged that he was part of the “reason this is happening right now,” referring to the conflict.
“It’s not enough to say, well, I changed my mind — or like, oh, this is bad, I’m out,” Mr. Carlson said in an episode of his podcast released Monday.

The Anti-natalist legacy of Paul Ehrlich - Pax Orbis

The recent death of Paul Ehrlich (1932–2026), that master of anti-natalist propaganda, should cause us to consider the far-reaching consequences of his doctrine. As the author of The Population Bomb, (Note: all page references given below refer to this work) written in 1968, Ehrlich helped shape the disastrous demographic policies which many countries around the world are currently scrambling to reverse.
by Kathy Clubb
Among his predictions was the frightening spectre of overpopulation and world-wide famine to be experienced in the 1970s. By tying food availability to increasing population, Ehrlich successfully sowed enough fear into the academics of his day to ensure that his message would be taken up and disseminated into the unsuspecting community at large.
Contraception
Central to Ehrlich’s policies for population control was contraception; this was to be subsidised by the government and especially was to be made available to the poor.
He lauded the U.S. government’s multi-million …

Leo XIV Considers Francis a "Great Gift": While flying from Angola to Equatorial Guinea today, Pope Leo XIV commemorated his predecessor, Francis, who died on April 21 last year. Leo XIV alleged that Francis had given "so much" through his words and actions. "He promoted an authentic respect for all men and women, and taught us that we are all brothers and sisters," claimed Leo XIV, adding: "We thank the Lord for the great gift of Francis's life to the Church and the whole world."

On the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ death, Pope Leo XIV remembered him as a leader who gave greatly to the Church through his life, words, and actions.“I would like to remember, on this first anniversary of his death, Pope Francis, who gave so much to the church with his life, his testimony, his words, and his gestures,” Pope Leo said. He recalled how Pope Francis truly lived with “closeness to the poorest, the little ones, the sick, the children, the elderly.”

A new automation system for the telescope at the Holy See’s astronomical observatory in Arizona will allow students from Jesuit universities to use it remotely for scientific research.
Mount Graham in Arizona is home to the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT), one of the most important observatories managed by the Vatican Observatory (Specola Vaticana).
According to a statement issued by the Governorate of Vatican City State, the robotization and automation of the telescope were recently completed successfully thanks to donations from the Thomas Lord Charitable Trust philanthropic foundation.
The automation was also made possible thanks to donations from Kim Bepler, who specifically supports various Jesuit initiatives and serves on the board of trustees of Fordham University.
Astronomers will now be able to operate the telescope remotely, without the need to be physically present on the mountain. In fact, astronomers from the …Bivule

Bergoglio's False Canonizations Collapse

Vatican Blocks Continuity of Procedure of Beatification and Canonization of Argentine Bishop -- no new Satanellis
The Church has prohibited public veneration of non-canonized persons; Bergoglio, for instance, raised recognized Marxists and apostates to the altars—an act that constitutes the sin of idolatry.
Bergoglio adulterated the concept of Martyrdom to include murders for political reasons.
Even the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its Profession of Faith under Pope John Paul II, affirmed that the canonizations of saints were dogmatic facts. Since it has been established that Bergoglio signed fraudulent canonization processes, we conclude that he was not the Pope. For the Magisterium—both ordinary and extraordinary—of a Pope is infallible when it teaches on matters of faith and morals.
