Vatican Accepts Benedictines’ Appeal Against Valle de los Caídos “Re-signification”

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.

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.
- The State Department closely follows the ins …Bivule

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.

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.

Cardinal of Munich Frustrated by Online Success of Critics of Synodal Path

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz.
He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence.
“This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.”
And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …Bivule

The Vatican altered the official Italian transcript of Pope Leo XIV’s 23 April flight remarks, removing the word "infamous". He had used it while discussing homosexual "blessings" in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and describing Pope Francis’ phrase tutti, tutti, tutti as infamous, famous, well known.

Matthew 7:12
All things therefore whatsoever you will that men do to you, do you also to them. For this is the Law and the Prophets.
1 Corinthians 13:3-10
And if I should distribute all my goods to be meat for the poor, and if I should deliver my body so that I burn, and have not charity, it doth profit me nothing.
Charity is patient, is benign: Charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely: is not puffed up,
is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh not evil,
rejoiceth not upon iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth:
suffereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, beareth all things.
Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed.
For in part we know, & in part we prophesy.
But when that shall come that is perfect, that shall be made void that is in part.

Tucker Carlson Says He Is ‘Tormented’ by His Past Support for Trump
“I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people,” said the conservative commentator, who has broken sharply with the president over the war with Iran.

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.
“It’s a moment to wrestle with our own consciences,” Mr. Carlson said on the podcast, speaking with his brother, Buckley, a former …Bivule

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 XIV: "I Condemn Capital Punishment"

On the return flight to Rome on April 23, Leo XIV took questions from selected journalists. Main quotes.
- We must promote a culture of peace. The issue is not whether there is regime change or not; the issue is how to promote the values we believe in without the death of so many innocent people.
- The situation in Iran is clearly very complex. Even the negotiations themselves—one day Iran says yes and the United States says no, and vice versa.
- I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during the visit to Lebanon, was waiting there with a sign saying “Welcome Pope Leo.” He has been killed in this final phase of the war.
- A state has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order.
- We must treat migrants humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens.
- The issue of human trafficking is also part of migration.
- What are we doing in richer countries to change the situation in poorer countries?
- Africa is …Bivule

Names of FSSPX Bishops in June

In June, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X will announce the names of the future bishops to be consecrated on 1 July in Ecône, Switzerland.
Father Kevin M. Cusick published this rumour on the Rorate-Caeli blog, referring to an anonymous 'reliable source' who claimed that both Don Davide Pagliarani, the Fraternity's Superior General, and Father John Fullerton, the Fraternity's Superior for the US, had confirmed the information.

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.
Prevost mocks Sainthood
But under Prevost, not only are apostate pagan priests elevated to the altars—following Bergoglio’s heretical parameters—but half-truths also continue to be …Bivule
