Footage released by the Israeli police shows a man attacking a French nun in broad daylight on Mount Zion in Jerusalem on Tuesday. The nun, who is a researcher at the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem, was thrown to the ground and sustained head injuries. A 36-year-old suspect was arrested on the same day.

Carmelite community of Campiégne martyrs to close: The historic Carmelite community of Compiègne, which is now based in Jonquières, France, is closing. The six remaining nuns have announced that they will be leaving due to the ageing nature of the community and a lack of new vocations. Founded in 1641, the community is best known for the sixteen Carmelite martyrs of Compiègne who were executed during the French Revolution in 1794 and canonised by Pope Francis in 2024. The monastery in Jonquières has been home to the community since 1992. The nuns are leaving over the coming months, not all at once.
The six remaining cloistered Carmelite nuns in Jonquières, France, are closing their historic community, ending a 400-year legacy of prayer ... and martyrdom.
Second certainty: Since a Pope was elected on 26 October 1958, as attested by the white smoke, and since this Pope did not appear and the conclave continued the following day, it is certain that the successor to Pius XII, having accepted and taken a name, subsequently renounced it. How could this have happened, given that, on the one hand, everything is secret in a conclave and, on the other hand, the conclave had finished its task because of the acceptance?

Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote to Pope Leo XIV about widespread homosexuality among priests and its significance in the abuse crisis in the Church. He mentioned this on Marian-Eleganti.ch on April 24: "All church studies on abuse show a disproportionately high number of male victims. It does little good to turn a blind eye to this." He also drew attention to the numerous cases of sexual abuse occurring outside the Church, emphasising that society is primarily focused on and scandalised by those within the clergy. #newsZltfzndgfn
At least somebody is saying something about it to Leo. He'll ignore it, of course, and that's even if he actually gets the letter and deigns to read it. But at least one of his brother Bishops has made the effort to warn him directly and explicitly. He cannot claim ignorance.
THE ISLANDER @IslanderWORLD Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson — Colin Powell’s own chief of staff said the quiet part... “We lied about Vietnam, we lied about Iraq, we lied about Afghanistan, we lied about Somalia, we lied about Libya.” Then the hammer: “We put more small arms and medium arms into the hands of terrorist groups the world over by not securing Gaddafi’s weapons caches in Libya than any arms merchant has ever put into the world.” He didn’t stop there. Same story in Iraq — Saddam’s arsenals left wide open because “we didn’t have enough troops,” handed straight to Al Qaeda and ISIS. A top insider from the heart of the machine confessed: America doesn’t fight terrorism. It manufactures it, then lies about it for decades. The blowback isn’t accidental but policy. Natural consequences don’t forget who armed the monsters.
The United States Department of Justice released on April 30 a 548-page report on how the Biden administration targeted believing Christians, including traditional Catholics. The report concludes that the Biden administration “zealously pursued actions to limit Christians’ ability to act in accordance with their faith,” particularly those holding traditional biblical views on abortion, sexuality, and gender. Among the report’s findings is that the FBI’s Richmond Field Office treated traditional Catholics as potential extremists, including churches associated with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. The FBI expanded its scrutiny after interviewing Xavier Louis Lopez, a self-described “radical traditional Catholic Clerical Fascist” convicted of possessing destructive devices. Agents opened a formal law-enforcement “Guardian profile” on his church and interviewed his priest, despite the parish having no involvement in his crimes. Agents also tracked the priest’s jail visits to Lopez …Okunengi
On April 28, the German bishops published a new ‘Ratio Nationalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis’, a 203-page document reforming priestly formation in Germany. It replaces the previous 111-page guidelines from 2003. Approved by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Clergy on March 11, the new norms are binding for Germany’s 27 dioceses. Long-Term Decline The reform comes amid a long-term collapse in priestly vocations. Germany ordained 557 priests in 1962 and 303 in 1970. By 2015, that number had fallen to 58, and by 2025 to just 25, the lowest figure on record. At the same time, the number of lay pastoral workers increased from roughly 5,200 in 1990 to 7,516 in 2021, and include today transvestites. Psychological Screening The new Ratio includes expanded sections on psychology, abuse prevention, sexuality, synodality, and pastoral practice. It mandates psychological screening for candidates and places new emphasis on emotional maturity, boundaries, and abuse prevention. The document explicitly …Okunengi
The Germans haven't known the fundamentals of the Apostolic Faith for over a century, so their priests couldn't become fundamentalist in German seminaries already.
Marxist revisionism has successfully managed to pervert the root word 'fundamental' meaning 1) serving as a basis supporting existence or determining essential structure or function and 2) serving as an original or generating source, and 3) of or relating to essential structure, function, or facts into something sinister toxifying it with an 'ism'. It would seem that something as fundamental as the Gospel and orthodox Church teaching should be cherished, protected and shared by those committed to evangelizing in the name of our Lord. How sad to trivialize the Rock upon which the Church is built.

Pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández - who is a soft porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith - is preparing for clerics who will leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X after the episcopal consecration in Écône on 1 July. According to Nico Spuntoni, Leo XIV is planning an arrangement for those clerics from the Priestly Fraternity who do not intend to remain in it following a further break with Rome. Leo XIV will treat the Priestly Fraternity as schismatics and impose penalties. Spuntoni did not find out whether the planned excommunication would apply only to the bishops or to other clerics as well. #newsAxctfujyym
In other words, Tucho and Prevost expect the priests of the Fraternity to apostatize and join their rebellion—in order to seize their financial assets and physical infrastructure. For these fraudsters are not at all concerned with the salvation of souls.
“The bishops do, under the guise of a gift of the church, what advances the will of the devil.” – Tyconius, Commentary on the Apocalypse, 4th century “[T]he Antichrist belongs to the Church, grows in it and with it until the great 'discessio,' which initiates the final 'revelatio.'” – Joseph Ratzinger, Observations on Tyconius’ Concept of the Church , 1956 Pope Benedict XVI led the way to the necessary "decessio" - the SSPX will open the doors wide to such -- the faithful will follow -- this will be the fulfillment of many prophecies -
Vatican recommends Catholic families in crisis compost and a rain gauge: The Vatican has published on August 27 the handbook, Integral Ecology in the Life of the Family, urging Catholic families to adopt environmentally focused practices such as composting, collecting rainwater, and monitoring rainfall as part of an “ecological conversion.” Issued jointly by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life, the text presents care for creation and sustainable living as integral to Christian family life and holiness.
W. Todd Ed @we_todd_ed1 David Sacks argues that nonprofits and NGOs often prioritize fundraising over mission fulfillment, creating or exaggerating problems to justify continued donations. He criticizes organizations that shifted focus from civil rights to anti-racism after progress was made, suggesting the goalposts were moved to sustain relevance and funding. Chamath Palihapitiya questions why groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center focus on race issues instead of poverty. The thread, shared by W. Todd Ed and endorsed by Elon Musk, criticizes left-leaning narratives on these topics.
From 16 to 25 April, the former Chapelle Sainte Jeanne d’Arc in Paris hosted performances by a homosexual group. The neo-Gothic chapel was commissioned in 1909 by Marie de la Passion in honour of Saint Joan of Arc, following her beatification. It was deconsecrated in 2020, after the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary left the convent complex due to insufficient financial and human resources. The chapel now forms part of Village Reille, a publicly funded, cultural and social project. From 16 to 25 April 2026, Cirque Fier.e.s - a group calling itself ‘LGBTQIA+ and intersectional feminist collective’ - held a performance there. During their show, the altar was removed and replaced with circus staging featuring dance, acrobatics, nudity and provocative theatrical imagery, including sadomasochism. According to reports, transvestite Esther opened one performance by stating: “You know that Chapelle Reille is not its real name — it is actually the Sainte Jeanne d'Arc Chapel, and we are going to …Okunengi

In the summer of 1821, a frustrated mathematician named Charles Babbage sat in a London study, surrounded by stacks of astronomical tables. Page after page, he found mistakes — small numerical errors that ships' captains relied on to navigate the world's oceans. A single wrong digit could send a vessel onto rocks. Lives depended on numbers calculated by tired humans, copied by hand, set by typesetters, and printed under candlelight. Exhausted, Babbage slammed the book shut and exclaimed: "I wish to God these calculations had been executed by steam." His friend John Herschel looked up and said quietly: "It is quite possible." That single moment lit a fire that would burn for the rest of Babbage's life. He went home and began designing something the world had never seen — a colossal mechanical brain. A machine made entirely of brass, bronze, and cast iron, with thousands of interlocking gears, wheels, and levers, that could calculate complex mathematical tables without a single error. He …Okunengi
