There are so few African-American bishops because of “racism,” Washington Auxiliary Bishop Robert Boxie said in a September 7 interview with Catholic News Service. He was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on May 1. The numbers: Of 268 active U.S. bishops, five (2%) are Black. Black Americans make up 2% of U.S. Catholics and, over the past 20 years, about 2% of U.S. priestly ordinations.
Why are there so few Black bishops in America? “The short answer is racism.” America’s youngest bishop, Robert Boxie, Auxiliary of Washington.
There was once a woman in a small town who loved gossip. Whenever she heard something interesting about a neighbor, she could hardly wait to tell someone else. One day, a rumor reached her about a man who lived nearby. She repeated it to a friend. The friend told someone else. Within a few days, almost everyone in town had heard the story. There was only one problem. It wasn’t true. When the man learned what people were saying about him, he was deeply hurt. His reputation had been damaged by something that had never happened. The woman who started spreading the rumor eventually learned the truth. For the first time, she felt ashamed of what she had done. Wanting to make things right, she went to an elderly woman in town who was known for her wisdom. “I made a terrible mistake,” she admitted. “I repeated something about my neighbor that wasn’t true, and now everyone knows it. How can I undo the damage?” The older woman listened carefully. Then she said, “Go to the market and buy a chicken …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
Emma Bonino has died at 78. For decades, she was one of Italy’s most prominent Radical politicians. She was a leading campaigner for abortion, euthanasia, drug legalization, and more secular causes. Although she was not a medical professional, Bonino, according to her own testimony, performed over 10,000 illegal abortions. She is one of the most sinister figures in the history of Italy. Bonino nevertheless praised Francis, who maintained a warm personal relationship with her and personally visited her in 2024, bringing her flowers and chocolates.

A historic former monastery in Germany is being converted into rental apartments. The Diocese of Osnabrück has sold the Kommende Lage in Rieste, Lower Saxony, because it could no longer afford the renovations needed for the centuries-old building. Kommende Lage is a former monastery complex dating to the 13th century. The buyer, who runs a tree nursery in nearby Bersenbrück, takes ownership January 15 and plans to renovate it for housing. The purchase price was not disclosed. The site’s nearly 800-year-old Catholic pilgrimage tradition will continue: the pilgrimage church and rectory were not sold, and a priest will remain to oversee the pilgrimage.
Die Kommende Lage im niedersächsischen Rieste ist verkauft worden. Das Bistum Osnabrück gab den Verkauf am 10. September 2026 bekannt. Der neue Eigentümer will das historische Klostergebäude sanieren und darin Mietwohnungen einrichten.
A MAN WHO CANNOT HEAR HIS WOMAN MAY STILL BE FIGHTING HIS PAST. Sometimes, she isn’t asking for too much. She isn’t trying to control him. She isn’t looking for an argument. She isn’t attacking his character. She simply wants to be heard, understood, and emotionally safe. But when a man carries wounds he has never healed, he may hear love as criticism, vulnerability as weakness, and honest communication as an attack. Because we don't enter relationships alone. We bring our childhoods with us. Our disappointments. Our fears. Our parents' voices. Our past relationships. Our deepest insecurities. And sometimes, the person standing in front of us is not the person we're actually fighting. We're fighting an old wound. A man who was taught that emotions make him weak may struggle to sit with a woman's emotions. A man who learned that love comes with rejection may push away the very person who wants to love him. A man who survived through control may mistake control for strength. But real …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ

Westminster Archbishop: Pastoral Need for Roman Rite, Pastoral Silence for “Catholic” Prime Minister Leo XIV-appointed Archbishop Richard Moth of Westminster, England, approaches 'Traditionis Custodes' from what he describes as a pastoral perspective, “Where there is pastoral need, then I would make the argument for it,” he told NcRegister.com on September 10. In his previous Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, he said he “responded to that pastoral need.” Archbishop Moth believes that we need a greater sense of the transcendent in the liturgy, but believes this is “perfectly possible” using the Novus Ordo. Asked about an expected meeting with Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is supports abortion and homosexual "marriage", Archbishop Moth replied evasively: “A conversation I would have with somebody about their conscience is between me and that individual,” he said. “If particular issues are raised, I would speak about them and address them, yes.” Moth also calls it “very positive …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
A Vatican Dicastery secretary attended an interreligious ceremony featuring the Balinese idol Barong. On 5 September, Vatican representatives attended the Tri Hita Karana Universal Reflection Ceremony at Sunset Mandala, Bali. Part of Bali Harmony Encounter Week 2026, it was organized with Pope Francis-founded Scholas Occurrentes. Present were Msgr. Indunil Kankanamalage, Secretary of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, Rev. Marcin Schmidt, and Scholas director Maria Paz, alongside Indonesian officials, Balinese royalty and representatives of different religions. Organizers said the evening was “anchored by an interfaith prayer” and included the Bumi Bajra troupe performing with a "Barong" from Ubud Palace, accompanied by “sacred rhythms.” Barong, a lion-like ceremonial figure, represents a supernatural protector in Balinese Hindu tradition and is closely associated with Balinese religious ritual and temple life.
Honoring Idol Barong in Bali: The Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue participated in a gathering in Indonesia organized by Scholas Occurrentes and United in Diversity.
"And the city of seven hills will be no more" - Rome will return to its pagan roots - all courtesy of the Vatican and Leo's religious indifferentism, a poison fruit of Vatican II. Christians, get ready to flee - just as Lot fled from Sodom - and don't look back- the chastisement is coming --

Tucker Carlson asks why algebra puts letters into numbers. Jess Elofson explains: "I think just to fuck with you." They discuss how they've never met anyone in their life who uses algebra, which is "fake math" for people "in the matrix." They conclude that caring about algebra is something that only "good little goy slaves" do.
A 35-year-old was arrested after entering a French church, shouting “Allahu Akbar” and asking for the priest. Police detained him inside Saint-Rémi church in Forbach after two 14-year-olds raised the alarm. Prosecutors say he carried an Opinel-type knife, which he never brandished, three SIM cards and cannabis resin.
I am no longer shocked at this. The people have themselves to blame because they have not stopped the illegals from invading, nor have they held their governments responsible.
A 900-Year-Old French Abbey Is Up for Sale for Just €2 Million An abbey with almost 900 years of history is up for sale in France for around two million euros. Notre-Dame de Langonnet in Brittany was founded in 1136. The estate includes around 5,380 square meters of buildings, set within nearly 58 hectares of woodland, meadows and agricultural land. For centuries, Cistercian monks prayed here and shaped the area around the monastery. After the horrors of the French Revolution, the Spiritans - the congregation whose later superior general was Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre - made Langonnet their home in the 19th century. They remained for nearly 170 years. Generations of missionaries passed through the abbey before leaving for Africa and other parts of the world. Now that chapter is coming to an end. The last Spiritans are leaving, including elderly members of the order who had spent their retirement at Langonnet. The property has reportedly been looking for a buyer for around two years, while …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
