US-katholische Bischöfe verurteilen Trumps Drohung gegen den Iran Die Konferenz der katholischen Bischöfe der Vereinigten Staaten kritisierte scharf die jüngsten Äußerungen von US-Präsident Donald Trump zum Iran. Sie sagten: "Die Bedrohung, eine ganze Zivilisation zu zerstören, und die gezielte Zielung auf zivile Infrastruktur kann moralisch nicht gerechtfertigt werden." U.S. Catholic Bishops Condemn Trump’s Threat Against Iran The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops strongly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statements about Iran. They said, “The threat of destroying a whole civilization and the intentional targeting of civilian infrastructure cannot be morally justified.” Orwellian Dystopia
Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.
Bishop Michael Martin says he didn’t expect Leo to defend the Traditional Latin Mass and is moving to eliminate its influence, including removing altar rails and limiting the old Mass in Charlotte.
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, has defended his decisions to restrict the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to only one location and to prohibit the use any tools for kneeling at Communion. In an interview with AmericaMagazine.org on 26 March, he began with a thinly veiled dismissal of Catholics attached to the Roman rite: "I don't want to say that they're some sort of lunatic fringe. They're not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there's goodness and holiness in that." Leo XIV Would Not Change what Francis Has Done Monsignor Martin referred to his responsibility as a bishop to maintain fidelity to the Church’s "norms". He framed his cruel decisions, especially those relating to the Traditional Latin Mass, as an act of obedience: "All I did was implement Traditionis Custodes in the Diocese of Charlotte." The bishop rejected the idea of extending the existing Masses indefinitely without a clear pastoral plan to end them: "If we need …More
He should do Charlotte a big favor, after 'removing altar rails' etc., he should ..remove himself! Maybe go to the "end of the earth" (where his hero Bergoglio came from) and form a band of novus "pachapapas"..
Bishop Athanasius Schneider regrets that communities of the Roman rite, as well as cardinals and bishops, have come out against the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX).
Bishop Athanasius Schneider regrets that communities of the Roman rite, as well as cardinals and bishops, have come out against the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). They attack the Priestly Fraternity, labelling its members schismatics and threatening excommunication. "This is unhelpful. It should be the contrary." In an interview with RemnantNewspaper.com on 25 March, he encouraged Catholics to unite as the Church is one big family: "The FSSPX belongs to this family". Bishop Schneider draws parallels with the Arian crisis in the 4th century. St Basil the Great described a situation in which even the good people, who were in the minority, were fighting each other, despite the fact that the majority of bishops were aligned with the heresy. Basil described it as "a naval battle of ships in the sea, in mist and night, but instead of fighting the enemy ship, the good ones started to attack one another". Bishop Schneider: "Why are the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter and others …More
In an abstract way the SSPX says they are united to the Pope but they act as if he has no authority over them, so, practically they act independent and autonomous from the Church. The irony here is that the very bishop who defends them, they would prohibit him from participating consecrations b/c he says the Novus Ordo in Latin.
What it is to be Catholic (truth of our Fathers living still we will be true tell death) Handed down = Sacred Tradition not novelties of new improve errors of (modernism) synthesis of all heresies
25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos has been euthanized She suffered from borderline personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder The European Court of Human Rights found no obstacles and ruled that she had the right to die, despite her father’s efforts to save her.
Noelia’s lawyer drops a bombshell… “The hospital pressured for euthanasia because her organs were already committed.” How true is this claim?
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) has sent all diocesan bishops in Italy a newly published book explaining the reasons behind its planned episcopal consecrations.
Ehrlich was warmly welcomed at the Vatican during Pope Francis’ reign, despite his decades of messaging which stood at odds with Church teaching and practices which he viewed as “regressive,” and making inflammatory statements about the hierarchy of the Catholic Church being a force of “evil.”
Ehrlich compared human babies to ‘garbage,’ said every woman needs ‘free access’ to abortion and contraception, and the Catholic Church's moral teachings are like a ‘terrorist act.’
Mon Mar 16, 2026 - 1:47 pm EDTMon Mar 16, 2026 - 2:57 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Paul Ehrlich, the undisputed father of population control whose best-selling but wildly specious 1968 book, The Population Bomb, was used to justify government and NGO programs to push contraception, normalize abortion, encourage mass-sterlization, and preach anti-family rhetoric – wreaking untold damage across the globe – has died from complications due to cancer at age 93. The population alarmist compared human babies to garbage, said every sexually active woman needs “free access” to abortion and contraception, and said the Catholic Church’s moral teachings are “just as unethical” as a “terrorist act.” His over-the-top rhetoric, sky-is-falling predictions proved time and again to be incredibly, epically wrong, yet he remained celebrated by global elites who shared his disdain for much of the Earth’s population. Perhaps most troublingly, in the final years of his life, Ehrlich was warmly welcomed at …
Population control and compulsory abortion are acceptable under the U.S. Constitution: 1968 and 1977: “Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.” (The Population Bomb; Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, p. 837.) “More and more” people are the cause inflation: August 3, 1981: “When you look at the cures for inflation that don’t consider the very fundamental cause of inflation that is, more and more people attempting to devour a finite pie – the notion that either supply side economics or standard Keynesian economics is going to solve it is just crazy.” (The Spokesman Review) There are too many people on Earth: February 6, 1989: “The world has ‘perhaps’ five times as many people as it can tolerate.” (Our Earth is Past the Point of No Return, Newsday) Sex-selective …More
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Konrad Krajewski as Archbishop of his home diocese of Łódź in Poland. He has been the Papal Almoner since 2013. However, today's appointment is unlikely to be considered a promotion for a cardinal of the Curia. Successor Was Leader of the Synod Process The new papal almoner is Spanish bishop Luis Marín de San Martín, OSA, an Augustinian friar. He was undersecretary of the Synod of Bishops and has now been made an archbishop. He helped organise the failed 'Synod on Synodality' project of Pope Francis. Activism for transvestite prostitutes Cardinal Krajewski managed several lunches for 'the poor' and invited dozens of transvestites to them. During the Covid-lockdowns, Cardinal Krajewski offered financial support to transgender sex workers. Encouraging Illegal Squatting One of Cardinal Krajewski's most notable acts occurred in Rome in 2019. A building occupied by 450 illegal immigrants lost electricity due to unpaid bills totalling €300,000. Krajewski …More
Additional information from Elwanderer: Tucho "managed to get Monsignor Daniel Pellizzon, who was Pope Francis' private secretary among other roles in Rome, appointed parish priest of the elegant and well-endowed parish of San Cayetano de Belgrano upon his return to Buenos Aires. It is strange that someone who was expelled from the seminary in Buenos Aires (we will draw a veil over the reason) and then granted papal mercy and reluctantly ordained as a priest by Cardinal Poli in 2018, should have obtained promotions and privileges of this nature so quickly."
Monsignor Pellizzon has returned to Argentina. Unfamiliar with the name? The former papal secretary has been one of the more influential figures over many years given his close links to the late Pope Francis and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández.
The Vatican's Secretary of State, Pietro Cardinal Parolin on the US-Israeli war on Iran: “This erosion of international law is truly worrying: justice has given way to force; the force of law has been replaced by the law of force.”
The peoples of the Middle East - including the already fragile Christian communities - have once again been plunged into the horror of war including the uncertain outcomes, Cardinal Pietro Parolin told VaticanNews.va on March 4. Regarding the US and Israeli attack on Iran, Cardinal Parolin said: "If states were to be recognised as having the right to 'preventive war' according to their own criteria and without a supranational legal framework, the whole world would risk being set ablaze. This erosion of international law is truly worrying: justice has given way to force; the force of law has been replaced by the law of force, based on the belief that peace can only be achieved by annihilating the enemy." Cardinal Parolin questioned whether anyone truly believed that launching missiles and bombs was the solution. He continued: "A multipolarism marked by the primacy of power and self-referentiality is dangerously taking hold." Vatican Has Not Even Media to Make Any Difference The cardinal …More
ALTRA CHIESA CATTOLICA ANDATA A FUOCO. SIAMO GIÀ NEI TEMPI DELLA PERSECUZION, SATANA È SCATENATO E HA FRETTA PERCHÉ SA BENE CHE IL TEMPO CHE GLI È RIMASTO È SEMPRE PIÙ BREVE!
Did we ever get the completed investigation by the French government on the cause of the devastating fire at Notre Dame cathedral? Was it arson? Were any suspects arrested? No accountability.
Pope Leo XIV will make Apostolic Journeys to the Principality of Monaco in March; Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea in April; and Spain and the Canary Islands in June.
Pope Leo XIV has appointed today four priests as new auxiliary bishops of the Diocese of Rome, all of them insiders of Roman diocesan machinery. Mons Stefano Sparapani, 69 - Born in Rome (1956) - Ordained priest in 1991 - Episcopal Vicar for the North Sector (since Jan 2025) - Spiritual Father at the Almo Collegio Capranica (since 2015) - Parish priest of St Basil (since 2010) His parish San Basilio has a high concentration of immigrants, poor people and a lot of criminal activity (drugs, abuses, thefts, violence). He told OsservatoreRomano.va in June 2020 that Pope Francis is liked very much there: “Because people recognize him as someone ‘real,’ someone who believes in and loves the Gospel.” Mons Sparapani described himself as “not coming from the sacristy”. “I have always been in the world, where I try to bring a bit of light to those who never see the light and therefore despair.” He commissioned the accused pervert Marko Rupnik to paint his parish church. In February 2021, …More
In this extract from the book, ‘Unholy Craft’ by Arnaud de Lassus, the author relates the method used by an infiltrator to convince a Catholic priest to become involved with Freemasonry. In Italy, in 1999, a book was published anonymously entitled Via col vento in Vaticano and, according to the editor the French version, “would have come from a group of high-ranking Vatican dignitaries who chose to break the law of silence.” It is a collective work describing various disorders affecting the Holy See. The chapters are not all of equal value and some call for serious reservations. Chapter 18, The Smoke of Satan in the Vatican, deals with Freemasonry and, in four very interesting pages, explains the process used to entice prelates to affiliate to the craft. There is a real novitiate for recruiting ecclesiastics to the Masonic order. Among ecclesiastics, there is a certain category of men in which Masonry seeks possible collaborators; these must combine certain gifts: keen intelligence …
Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Jean-Marie Speich, 70, as apostolic nuncio to the Netherlands—just ten months after Pope Francis appointed him. Although nuncios may retire at 70, such a brief tenure is highly unusual. Dutch newspaper Nederlands Dagblad said the reasons for his resignation are “shrouded in mystery.” Named an archbishop by Pope Francis in 2013, Speich previously served as nuncio to Ghana (2013–2019) and Slovenia (2019–2025) before being appointed to the Netherlands shortly before Pope Francis’ death.
On February 21, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Archbishop Jean-Marie Speich as nuncio to the Netherlands. Monsignor Speich left The Hague only ten months after his appointment. Nuncios may retire upon reaching the age of 70 (and not only at 75). Pope Francis appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to The Hague in April 2025. He turned 70 in June 2025. Had Monsignor Speich truly planned to step down at 70, he could have requested to remain in Slovenia until his birthday and then taken his leave. He became known for his role as nuncio in Slovenia in connection with the Marko Rupnik case. Rupnik is accused by two dozen former nuns of sexual perversion. Monsignor Speich is considered responsible for Rupnik's incardination in the diocese of Koper (Capodistria). Born in Strasbourg on June 15, 1955, Speich was ordained a priest in 1982 for the Archdiocese of Strasbourg. He joined the Holy See's diplomatic service in 1986 and served in numerous countries, including Haiti, Nigeria, Bolivia, Canada …More
Recalling his meeting with Pope Leo XIV in December, Bishop Athanasius Schneider said: "Leo XIV himself said that he had met young people — and I was surprised to hear this from his own lips — who told him that their conversion to God had come through the Traditional Latin Mass.”
+Schneider on his meeting with Leo XIV in December 2015: He said from himself that he met youth who converted thanks to the Tridentine Latin Mass.
