Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.

The appeal of the Old Liturgy for young people lies in its focus and orientation on God, not on the community.
We have so many rites in the Catholic Church. We should accept them for what they are: mere rites. We must infuse every rite with love and devotion; otherwise, it misses its mark.
The Old and New Rites, as such, have nothing to do with whether we recognize the Council or not, or how we deal with its texts or reforms.

Neues Interview mit Mir von Niwa Limbu

Das folgende Interview behandelt Themen wie die Liturgiereform; die Situation des Glaubens; die Entwicklungen nach dem Konzil u.a.m. Das Original ist auf Englisch (siehe weiter unten!). Ich habe es mit Niwa Limbu geführt, der bis vor kurzem beim Catholic Herold gearbeitet hat und sich beruflich neu aufstellt.
1) Exzellenz, Sie wurden 1955 geboren und haben berichtet, dass Sie in Ihrer Kindheit als begeisterter Messdiener im traditionellen Ritus tätig waren, bevor Sie für den Novus Ordo umgeschult wurden. Sie haben die nachkonziliare liturgische Umgestaltung als „eine ziemlich gewaltsame, provisorische Neugestaltung der Heiligen Messe … verbunden mit großen Verlusten, die angegangen werden müssen“ beschrieben und dabei insbesondere auf Unterschiede bei den Gebeten, den Körperhaltungen und der Ausrichtung ad orientem hingewiesen. Junge Katholiken von heute, die oft wenig über die Texte des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils wissen, fühlen sich zunehmend vom tridentinischen Ritus angezogen …

Win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases: Kenya’s Court of Appeal on Friday ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right, overturning a 2022 High Court decision that had expanded access. The judges found now that abortion violates the child's right to life.

Kenyan appeal court overturns ruling that affirmed the right to abortion

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A court of appeal in Kenya Friday overturned a ruling that affirmed the right to access abortion, setting up a legal clash that is likely to be appealed again to the Kenyan Supreme Court.
The appeal was based on the 2022 case of a teenager who went to the hospital with pregnancy complications. A doctor who examined her determined she had lost the pregnancy, and provided emergency post-abortion care. They were acquitted by the high court.
The high court in 2022 had ruled that access to abortion was a fundamental right under the constitution, declaring the arrest and prosecution of women and health care providers unconstitutional.
The court of appeal on Friday reiterated that abortion denies a child the right to life as guaranteed in the constitution and is prohibited except in circumstances such as when the life …

Vatican Accepts Benedictines’ Appeal Against Valle de los Caídos “Re-signification”

The Vatican has accepted the appeal filed by the Benedictine monks of the Valle de los Caídos against the Spanish government’s planned “re-signification” of the monument, according to Spanish media.
The move is being seen as a setback for the pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid, whom critics accuse of having capitulated to the government during negotiations.
Cardinal Cobo has repeatedly said that the Archdiocese of Madrid has no authority over the basilica or the Benedictine community and that responsibility lies with the Vatican.
The complex includes the Basilica of the Holy Cross and the Benedictine monastery. The Sánchez government’s plans amount to the secularisation of an important Catholic religious sites.
The government is expected to present in June the redevelopment project known as “La base y la cruz,” which will lay out the next stage of the redesign. This will coincide with the June visit of Pope Leo XIV to Spain.

The last journey doesn't send a warning.
It arrives without asking. Without preparation.
Sometimes... it doesn't even give you a chance to say goodbye.
You leave without an "I love you,"
Without a "Forgive me,"
Without that last, unspoken embrace.
We spend our days obsessed with plans—
Vacations, career goals, shopping lists, errands to run…But we rarely think about that other trip.
The one that comes like a thief in the night,
Grabs you by the hand—and takes you away.
It doesn’t matter if you’re ready,
If you’re wide awake or fast asleep,
If you’re terrified,
Or if you still have so much left to say.
And it hurts.
It hurts so much it’s hard to draw a breath.
Because only then do we realize that we can't take anything with us.
Not our things, not our titles... only the love we gave.
Only the memories we left behind in the hearts of others.
Sometimes we walk out the door in a rage,
Slamming it behind us...
Never thinking that it might be our very last "goodbye."
Seeing so many people …Yana

UFO-linked scientist who warned 'my life is in danger' before she was found dead at 34 becomes ELEVENTH mysterious case

A scientist experimenting with anti-gravity tech was found dead at 34 after warning that her life could be in danger, marking another mysterious case of deaths and disappearances in recent years.
Amy Eskridge was just 34 years old when she allegedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head in Huntsville,
Alabama on June 11, 2022. However, neither the police nor the medical examiners have publicly released any details of an investigation ever taking place.
Before her death, she was openly researching and trying to develop anti-gravity technology, a way to control or cancel out gravity, which could revolutionize space travel and energy production.
Anti-gravity propulsion has also been widely discussed by UFO researchers, who have claimed this advanced technology is what allows alien spacecraft to achieve impossible speeds.
Conspiracy theorists have also claimed the US military has been experimenting with this technology for years, but the government has denied that alien technology …

The Vatican altered the official Italian transcript of Pope Leo XIV’s 23 April flight remarks, removing the word "infamous". He had used it while discussing homosexual "blessings" in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and describing Pope Francis’ phrase tutti, tutti, tutti as infamous, famous, well known.

1227. Withdrawal of U.S. military bases from the Middle East – World Scam

04/24/2026
Entire blog as a free PDF eBook.
The American military bases are strikingly reminiscent of the situation with the eleven U.S. aircraft carriers: instead of serving as a deterrent, they themselves have to flee. The U.S. empire remains dangerous. This is because the paper tiger is highly flammable and, when it burns, can set bystanders ablaze. This is the only element of intimidation that still works on some people. It drives the enemies to roaring laughter. The Americans had to make such fools of themselves, but as we can see, they wanted this war, which exposes their powerlessness.
Most of the US military bases and facilities in the Persian Gulf (listed below) have been hit by Iran during the first five weeks of the war. And many of these are no longer operating or have been effectively destroyed. The US Naval base in Bahrain is no longer operational and cannot service US ships. One of Iran’s stated demands in its 10-point plan, which was presented to the US more than two …

Cardinal Marx Must Be Opposed – Bishop Strickland

On 23 April, Bishop emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on X.com on the homosexual 'blessing' in the Archdiocese of Munich:
"This is evil and must be opposed by every faithful Catholic. Woe to so-called shepherds who lead the sheep astray. Rome should speak clearly and immediately but all I hear is silence. Blessing sin is the complete opposite of love."
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has instructed all priests and full-time pastoral staff in the archdiocese to perform, enable or facilitate 'blessings' of same-sex and adulterous couples.

@chris griffin I guess you just don't understand what I post or what I'm about now do you? It is clear you can't make the connection between abortion and the "Errors of Russia." And you can't make the connection between Our Lady of Fatima and Her words, "only I can help you." I really don't understand how that is lying? God bless you!

@chris griffin The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church has blessed and approved the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. I disagree it is "fair and just," "all Catholics should ignore Fatima." Our Lady of Fatima said "only I can help you." If we had done what Our Lady of Fatima asked there would be no abortion today plain and simple. I think your position in opposition to Our Lady of Fatima only continues the "Errors of Russia," and abortion is one of those "Errors." God bless you!

Cardinal of Munich Frustrated by Online Success of Critics of Synodal Path

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz.
He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence.
“This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.”
And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …Yana

Padre Pio Saw the One Sin Disguised as a Virtue
A respected Italian doctor traveled to San Giovanni Rotondo in 1947 to confess to Padre Pio. He had spent his life helping the sick, donating to the church, and living what everyone around him considered an exemplary Catholic life. He expected absolution in minutes. Instead Padre Pio refused him. Not once. Not twice. Three times over three consecutive days. What had Padre Pio detected in this man that no one else could see?

SHOCKING: Mother Miriam Drops Truth Bombs on the Pope & Vatican! “False prophets” now have an official prayer room inside the Vatican Library — so Muslims can pray to their false god on sacred ground. Mother Miriam is speaking out with righteous fire: This is a grave scandal and betrayal of the Catholic Faith. How on earth do you allow this inside the heart of the Church?! Christ is King. The First Commandment still matters. You don’t honor the true Faith by giving equal space to falsehood. Wake up, Catholics. This interfaith “openness” is going too far. Who else is tired of watching the Vatican bend over backwards?

USCCB Partners With Radical Bishop To Roll-Out New Ecological Program Across U.S. Dioceses

On a recent sweltering Saturday typical of April in Arizona, around 100 people from across the state gathered at the pastoral center of the Phoenix Diocese for a day of prayer and contemplation on the environment.
The diocese’s second Creation Summit opened with a reflection by Phoenix
Auxiliary Bishop Peter Bui, with the rest of the day divided around three topics: migration and creation; local steps to address poverty and creation; and action planning, where Catholic parishioners and people of other faiths worked to develop localized blueprints for environmental initiatives.
“[We] brought them together to be in community and to journey together for the day and then they were all sent out having an opportunity to form an action plan with their communities,” said Abigail Poole, the diocese’s Catholic social teaching coordinator.
The Phoenix Diocese too is developing a plan of its own, as one of 19 dioceses taking part in an inaugural national training program to compose ecological …

EU Court Blocks Hungary’s Restrictions on LGBT Content for Children

The European Union’s top court has ruled that Hungary’s 2021 child protection law violates EU law in a decision that appears driven more by ideology than by legal reasoning.
On Tuesday, April 21st, just days after Hungary’s national elections, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered its judgment in a case brought by the European Commission, supported by 16 member states and the European Parliament.
The court
found that Hungary’s legislation—originally introduced to strengthen penalties against paedophilia but later amended to restrict the promotion of homosexuality and gender ideology to minors—violates EU rules on multiple fronts, including fundamental rights and internal market provisions.
The ECJ declared that the law infringes Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, which enshrines the bloc’s core values such as human dignity, equality, and respect for minority rights. The court argued that Hungary’s measures were “contrary to the very identity of the Union” and rejected …

Actual Grace in Conversion | The Fatima Center

Editor’s Note: An excellent way to summarize the Message of Fatima is that Our Lady is calling all of us to conversion, reparation, and consecration. Our most recent Issue of The Fatima Crusader (#136, Fall 2025) focused on how to Live the Message of Fatima by emphasizing important Catholic practices along the lines of these three themes. The Fatima Center also recently posted a video by Fr. Karl Stehlin detailing the connection between these themes, the Message of Fatima, and the lives of the three little shepherds to whom Our Lady appeared. Watch this video, Living the Message of Fatima Today: Why and How, or listen to the audio only podcast. We also invite you to read a short excerpt from Frere Michel’s The Whole Truth About Fatima which shows how Fatima Is a Call to Conversion.

@ 123jussi, You just made my point exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know very well that she has never tried to stop abortion so all you can do is insult me. The apparition is not the mother of the living because she is horribly cruel to the unborn. She never, never tries to save them or help them.
Jeffrey Ade the apparition has no sympathy of the unborn and you know it. That is why you can only spout a generalization that is meaningless.

I don't know what moves you to speak of the Mother of All the living that way Chris ,but it is probably the most serious blasphemy I have ever heard concerning her and her care for us.
