“We are working in our own small way, with our limited manpower, to bring about an Imperfect General Council that will publicly recognise the present Catholic disaster that has no way out but through,” said Father Michael Mary, head of the Congregation of the Transalpine Redemptorists, in an interview with ThePress.co.nz on 10 April. The group was expelled from the Christchurch Diocese in New Zealand in July 2024 following allegations, primarily concerning unauthorised exorcism practices. The priests denied any wrongdoing. In October 2025, the community repudiated “false shepherds” and recent papal documents without explicitly declaring the papal office vacant. Their proposed “council” would consist of bishops acting without papal authority, though no names have been given: “There are Catholics all over the world left in ‘Catholic bunkers’ who know what is going on. It is a matter of reaching out to them.” Toward Electing a "Pope"? To justify the idea, Father Michael Mary invokes …More
1. Aquinas (and St. Agustine also) said that early gestation unborn babies are vegetable and animals before becoming human. Pro-abortion Catholic President Biden and Catholic Speaker Pelosi both quoted this in their defense of early legal abortion. 2.Aquinas said that “conscience” must always be followed. This is absolutely contrary to Catholic teaching, but some people still cite this as justification for abortion. 3. Aquinas foolishly said that lying is never permissible. Imagine the classic situation that you are hiding Jews in your attic during WW2 and the Nazis ask you if you are hiding Jews. According to Aquinas you must tell the Nazis “Yes they are in the attic” which results in the murder of the Jews. Aquinas is wrong...Biblically wrong.
The French districts of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (Clavis.org, April 11) and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (LaPorteLatine.org, April 13) have publicly clashed over planned episcopal consecrations on July 1. FSSP Position The FSSP argues that the consecrations would be illegitimate because the episcopate, by its nature, requires communion with the Pope and the body of bishops. Consecrating bishops without papal mandate therefore contradicts the Church’s divine constitution, not merely its discipline. It responds to an argument made by the FSSPX (in a technical annex), which refers to Lumen gentium in arguing that episcopal consecration does not itself confer governing authority, and therefore such consecrations would not necessarily break Church unity. The FSSP rejects this interpretation, arguing that - even if jurisdiction is not automatically given - episcopal functions can only be exercised within hierarchical communion. Acting without papal mandate leads in …More
Bishop Barron had followed provocative male accounts on his Facebook. Word on Fire explained it away, saying he had been the subject of a recent hack. The problem? He had followed similar accounts, going at least as far back as January 2024...

Leo XIV's current visit to Algeria is (also) personal. In 2004, Father Prevost participated in a pilgrimage to mark the 1650th anniversary of Saint Augustine’s birth, reports IlGiornale.it on 13 April. Due to security concerns, the group had been heavily escorted by police and had been restricted to a brief visit to Annaba (ancient Hippo). No broader travel inside Algeria was considered safe at the time. They were strongly advised not to spend the night in Algeria, which is why they returned to Tunisia the same day. Fr Prevost was dressed entirely in civilian clothes, as usual. Returning now as Pope, he revisits those same places. Picture: Conversation Nico Spuntoni, #newsJsaejrgunk

John-Henry Westen Tue Apr 14, 2026 This is the first time the Vatican’s criminal investigative office has put in writing that multi-year claims have triggered an active investigation file on the validity of Benedict’s renunciation. In what is the first official Vatican acknowledgment of an active investigation into the legitimacy of Pope Benedict XVI’s 2013 resignation, the Office of the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican City State has formally confirmed that it is actively carrying out an investigation into a petition to the court alleging the nullity of the resignation. The Office is the body responsible for conducting criminal investigations for the Tribunal of the Vatican City State (commonly referred to by journalist Andrea Cionci as the “Vatican Criminal Court”). Cionci is a veteran Roman journalist with 20 years’ experience at Italy’s major daily newspapers and the author of the bestselling book The Ratzinger Code (25,000 copies sold and translated into five languages).

Alexander Litvinenko’s accusation that Vladimir Putin was a paedophile may have been one of the motives for the Russian government to order his assassination, a report into the former Russian spy's death has found. Sir Robert Owen’s inquiry looked at the former FSB agent’s “highly personal attacks” on the Russian President, which culminated with an article on the Chechenpress website in July 2006, four months before he was poisoned.

Valentina Gomez: «First, you give them a prayer room inside the Vatican. Second, you visit a mosque instead of the Christians in Nigeria that are being slaughtered by muslims. muslims call for the murder of Christians, Jews, & the rest of the infidels. Resign as pope, & go become an imam then.» Apostasy from the Faith is defined as “the complete and voluntary abandonment of the Christian religion, whether the apostate embraces another religion such as Paganism, Judaism, Mohammedanism, etc., or merely makes profession of Naturalism, Rationalism, etc.” (Catholic Encyclopedia,s.v. “Apostasy”). Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. Apostate Robert Prevost: "All Religions Are Mothers. All Believers are Brothers" Prevost stated that “our task is not to build a Christendom,” which is directly contrary to the “Great Commission” entrusted to the Apostles by Christ before his Ascension.

Saint Alphonsus Liguori Christians have the right to confide in God, contrary to the followers of Mohammed A priest of the Society of Jesus, who during life devoted a great deal of time to the conversion of sinners, died with joy and confidence of salvation; this some considered to be excessive. Hence he was told that at death we should entertain sentiments of fear as well as of confidence. He answered: Have I served Mahomet? I have served a God who is so grateful and faithful; why, then, should I fear? (Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Dignity and duties of the priest: or, Selva, pg. 172)

Let me guess. That Hindus are on a loving, trusting flight towards God, and that Muslims prize the moral life and give worship to God through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. How did I do? I went right to the documents of Vatican II.
14. April 2026 14. April 2026 04/14/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. After all, the fragile two-week cease-fire ends on April 21. But while the threat of resuming combat operations may be invoked in coming days, it not a particularly viable political choice for Mr. Trump — and the Iranians know it. An excerpt from an analysis of the U.S. president’s genius published yesterday on lewrockwell.com in the article: Loser Tries Setting “Terms”. Everyone claims to hate liars. But what happens when you tell them the truth? The goal of the war was not to open the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade is a consequence of that war and the most effective means of pressure against the U.S. Trump, however, does not allow himself to be blackmailed by anyone—except his best friend from Tel Aviv. To open up this strait, he has therefore ordered a complete blockade to punish those countries that have reached an agreement with Iran. How can something like this be accomplished?
