The first papal encyclical on artificial intelligence, Magnifica Humanitas (May 15, 38,000 words), contains lots of truisms but also a bit of everything and nothing. The central contradiction of Magnifica Humanitas is that it condemns centralized technological power and “Babel-like” global systems, while simultaneously demanding supranational governing structures to regulate AI worldwide. In the encyclical, "Babel" becomes a symbol of a civilization built on centralized power, uniformity, and human self-sufficiency. §5 warns that private, often transnational actors possess “resources and capabilities superior to those of many governments,” giving them “impressive power over all of humanity.” However, the proposed solution is stronger international coordination and global governance of AI. The encyclical calls for an “international order” (§33), “universal fraternity” (§44), and globally shared moral principles for governing AI. §64 calls for “more effective forms of cooperation …More
“Thanks to Francis, the discourse on migration is now established,” the pro-homosexual Madrid Cardinal José Cobo told ReligionDigital.org (May 23). He asks the rhetorical question why Leo XIV is going to the Canary Islands. His answer: “For the same reason Francis went to Lesbos or Lampedusa.” One of Cardinal Cobo’s most troubling ideas is his desire to “redefine” human dignity according to “the criteria of our time.” #newsFmjosltxra
Pope Leo XIV is ultimately not against AI but aims to guide it toward the common good, writes Nico Spuntoni on LaNuovaBq.it (May 24). He has seen a preview of the encyclical ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ that will be published tomorrow. Leo XIV writes about a crossroads between self-sufficiency and solidarity. The pious-sounding solution Leo XIV offers to avert dehumanization through AI is "the mystery of the Incarnation". As did Leo XIII facing the social question of the 19th century, Leo XIV believes to offer an answer “to another industrial revolution and the developments in artificial intelligence, which pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice, and work.” Leo XIV talks consistently with the overused word “discernment” to guide the actions in an age of widespread familiarity with artificial intelligence. The encyclical warns of danger of humanity gaining excessive power over itself and against moral irresponsibility resulting from overreliance on artificial intelligence. …More
Today, Bishop Philippe Christory, 68, of Chartres visited and blessed the pilgrims of the Roman Rite on the road to Chartres, France.
Sur la route de Chartres, les pèlerins ont reçu avec joie la visite et la bénédiction de l’évêque de Chartres, au cœur de cette chrétienté vivante et fidèle à la tradition de l’Église.
Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández, a soft-porn author and the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, criticized the Congregation’s Notification on the Works of Fr. Jon Sobrino, S.J. from 2006. At the time, the congregation was led by Cardinal William Levada. The notification was issued with the approval of Pope Benedict XVI. It declared that some of the Spanish Jesuit’s works contain “notable discrepancies with the faith of the Church.” On May 12, speaking at Pontifical Urban University, Tucho claimed that the notification “does not encourage the effort to take seriously the context in which theological reflection takes place.” He attacked the notification for declaring that theology rooted in “the context of the poor” was “inadequate and dangerous”. Tucho also criticized the idea that theology can begin only from ecclesial tradition without serious engagement with lived historical realities. Major Ecclesiological Shift Another revelation from Tucho: “Some …More
Another revelation from Tucho: “Some time ago, in the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the instruction given to nuncios in those countries was that they should carefully monitor possible deviations and dangers of inculturation. Now, instead, they are asked to encourage initiatives and processes of inculturation in the lands where they serve as pontifical representatives.”
The very fact that Leo allows Fernandez to remain in charge of the DDF speaks volumes about Leo - Leo and Fernandez embody the Modernist heresy - and are solidifying the errors and demonic inversion of truth warned about by Pope St. Pius X.
Worse than Germany: On 16 May, the social media account 'SG News' published a video showing a priest celebrating the Eucharist in shallow waters in Sri Lanka. The priest is wearing violet liturgical vestments. He and altar servers stand and walk in the water while the faithful gather in fishing boats.
Pro-homosexual Archbishop Josef Grünwidl of Vienna - one of the many questionable appointments by Leo XIV - has confirmed that the controversial rector of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Rev Toni Faber, 64, will retire. The cathedral will receive new leadership in summer 2027. Society priest Faber has attended public dance festivals with a woman for years and has questioned celibacy. He has also supported same-sex blessings. In an interview with Austrian state radio ORF on Saturday, Archbishop Grünwidl claimed that his decision was mainly due to Rector Faber's long tenure. Archbishop Grünwidl noted that no one in the history of the Cathedral has held the post of rector for 30 years, describing Faber’s tenure as “a record”. However, the archbishop stressed that this does not mean that Rev. Faber will withdraw completely from pastoral work or leave St. Stephen’s Square. The Archbishop even praised Rev. Faber’s decades of service and emphasised their close personal relationship. “We were …More
Brother Ignatius laid to rest on Papa Stronsay: On 13 May, Brother Ignatius Maria, a 24-year-old monk of the Transalpine Redemptorists from New Zealand, was laid to rest on Papa Stronsay in Scotland. His body was returned to the monastery one month after he disappeared on 12 April in an incident involving the sea. Accompanied by his parents and fellow brothers, he made his final journey from Stronsay pier to his burial place on Papa Stronsay. The Transalpine Redemptorists said that Brother Ignatius Maria would be "deeply missed by us all".
Following the tragic passing of Br Ignatius Maria, on 13 May 2026 his body was committed to the grave on the the Monastery-Island of Papa Stronsay, which had been his home. He is deeply missed by us all. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
On 22 May, the synod of the schismatic Coptic Orthodox group in Egypt decided to resume theological dialogue with the Church. This followed a telephone conversation on 15 May between Leo XIV and the Coptic leader, Tawadros II. During this call, Leo XIV told Tawadros II that homosexual couples would not be blessed in the Church. However, this claim was just words because there is lots of photographic evidence of homosexual "blessings" being performed in the Catholic Church. Tawadros II is aware of this. The Copts broke off ecumenical dialogue after Francis approved the homosexual pamphlet 'Fiducia Supplicans', which is still in place and being implemented by the Church. If words do not match reality, this is commonly called a lie. #newsPxzibulzbg
Het grootste probleem in de Rooms Katholieke kerk is het grote aantal kardinalen, bischoppen en priesters die praktiserend homoseksueel zijn. Praktiserende homoseksuele kardinalen, bisschoppen en priesters moeten worden ontslagen omdat zij niet meer in staat zijn de bocht te horen. Hoe kunnen deze kardinalen, bisschoppen en priesters demonen vergeven van een huisvader die vreemd gaat, terwijl zij zelf ook in zonde leven.
184 Reasons to Read Leo XIV’s First Encyclical with AI Summarisation: US publisher Ignatius Press is offering Monday's encyclical, 'Magnificent Humanity', for pre-order. At 184 pages long and given the Vatican's usual style of gibberish, the book has almost no chance of actually being read.

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Cesare Di Pietro as the new bishop of the Diocese of Locri-Gerace in Calabria. Born in Messina on March 12, 1964, he was ordained a priest in 1997. He held several institutional Church roles, including secretary to Archbishop Marra of Messina, official at the Congregation for Bishops, rector of the Messina seminary, and professor of Church History. In 2018, Pope Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop of Messina. At his first press conference, he supported “a Church open as Pope Francis wants it”. In May 2019, he attended the Muslim Iftar dinner during Ramadan at the Islamic Center in Messina, and afterwards declared: "Today, we lived a beautiful moment united by fraternity." In summer 2023, he attended the Muslim Eid al-Fitr celebrations at the mosque in Messina. He told the congregation that he has come to celebrate the great feast, which recalls the sacrifice of Abraham our father in faith: “Here I feel at home”. In June 2024, the Muslim …More

Worse than Germany:Bishop John Stowe of Kentucky, USA, compared the founders of the homosexual group ‘New Ways Ministry’ - which promotes homosexual “marriage” and “gender transitions” - to St. Paul, St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, and other Catholic figures. In a May 21 podcast the prelate said that the "Holy Spirit" might do something new: “Isn't this what Francis of Assisi experienced when his exuberance of spirit moved him to renounce the materialism and status that had defined his life and to embrace the outcast and the lepers? The Holy Spirit empowered him to discern how to rebuild the church by fidelity to the gospel and inclusion of the poor. Isn't this what Paul of Tarsus experienced when he saw no reason to exclude the Gentiles from this universal community? […] Isn't this opening of windows and doors what the founding leaders and supporters of 'New Way's Ministry' were doing as they embrace those wounded by rejection because of their sexual orientation?

On 21 May, Fsspx.news published a message from Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, addressed to its members regarding the Episcopal Consecrations. The text was signed March 7. Main points, slightly shortened. - While the state of necessity could already be invoked in 1988, this state of necessity is, unfortunately, even more evident in 2026. - There is a positive aspect to this situation. The announcement on 2 February left no one in the Catholic Church indifferent. Almost everyone feels concern and the need to express their approval or disapproval. - The reason behind the decision to proceed with episcopal consecrations is the salvation of souls. This should not be seen as mere rhetoric or a simple canonical justification. - We must love the Church, even if its official representatives were to declare us excommunicated and schismatic once again. - We must never succumb to bitterness. - We must remember that if Divine Providence grants us the …More
The Superior General of the SSPX has defended the Society’s decision to consecrate bishops this summer, arguing that the “state of necessity” first invoked by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1988 is now “even more evident in 2026”. Fr Davide Pagliarani also warned that any declaration of excommunication or schism against the Society “would be objectively unjust”.
