The Vatican appeals court has declared the trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu invalid, overturning his 2023 conviction and ordering a full retrial to begin June 22. In a 16-page ruling, the court found on Tuesday procedural errors by both prosecutors and Pope Francis. It did not rule on Cardinal Becciu’s guilt or innocence, but concluded the original proceedings were flawed. The indictment was nullified for two main reasons. First, Francis issued four secret decrees granting prosecutors expanded powers, including surveillance. These decrees were never published and were disclosed to the defense only shortly before trial. The court ruled that at least one decree effectively functioned as law and, because it was not made public, was legally invalid. Second, prosecutors were found to have withheld and redacted key evidence, including phone records and messages. The court said this violated the defendants’ right to a fair trial. The ruling is historic, because it raises questions about the …More
Book of Ezekiel 47,1-9.12. The angel brought me, Ezekiel, back to the entrance of the temple of the LORD, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the façade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side. Then when he had walked off to the east with a measuring cord in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and had me wade through the water, which was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand and once more had me wade through the water, which was now knee-deep. Again he measured off a thousand and had me wade; the water was up to my waist. Once more he measured off a thousand, but there was now a river through which I could not wade; for the water had risen so high it had become a river that could not be crossed except by swimming. He …More

The integration of millions of Muslim immigrants into Europe is impossible and would change the culture, provoking civil wars, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EuropeanConservative.com on March 15: "In almost all Muslim countries, Christian communities are oppressed." Politicians and citizens must decide whether they want to be marginalised in their own countries, he said, mentioning an increase in attacks against churches and Christian values. "But it is also our fault," he added, suggesting that immigration is related to falling birth rates. "I remember when I was young, there was harsh politics against the family, matrimony and children. This demographic catastrophe is man-made. Like in China with their stupid one-child policy." Cardinal Müller notes that anti-familial forces have been unleashed upon the population. "It’s a natural feeling to want children if you are married," he said. "It’s against nature and against grace not to." "The state is only there for the common good and …More

The Apostate Robert Prevost Promotes Unity in Amazonian Paganism: “Inculturation is a difficult but necessary path,” “‘We need to accept courageously the newness of the Spirit, "church in Amazonia must be sign of unity in diversity" The apostate "upheld the importance of inculturating the Gospel in local cultures."
French born Rev Jakob Rolland, chancellor of the Diocese of Reykjavik, Iceland, told the state television Ruv.is the Church's teaching on homosexual acts. On March 5, police announced it examines the remarks and assess whether there is reason to begin an investigation. Like most priests in nominally Lutheran Iceland, Rev Rolland is a missionary. He has lived in Iceland for decades and has even changed his first name to make it more Icelandic — "no one here could say 'Jacques'". The collapsed Protestantism has arguably been replaced by the state religion of "LGBT+ advocacy". In the interview, Rev. Rolland responded affirmatively when asked if the Church hopes homosexuals will change over time, adding that it provides them with support: “That is what is very much lacking in modern society. Someone who wants to leave such a lifestyle receives no assistance.” Homosexuals who seek help from a priest of the Catholic Church “cannot find” psychologists or social workers to help them. Rev. …More
One is reminded of lawsuits brought on behalf of children who were given sex reassignment therapies and surgeries against the doctors who recommended or performed those procedures. Now years later they bitterly regret the physical and mental anguish they endure. Their wish is that they had recieved better counsel. Those professionals acted against their better judgement--surely they knew better--but were themselves pressured to go along with the current of the day. To prohibit this Priest from advising against acts and a way of living that can bring great unhappiness into someone's life is an act of craven elitism.
Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht celebrated his first public Mass in the Roman rite on Sunday at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (known as the Grote Kerk) in Oss, the Netherlands. In his homily (video below), he spoke about the Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Cardinal Eijk recounted an example from the 1950s in the Netherlands. A priest teaching religion at a Catholic school told students that the multiplication of the loaves should not be taken literally, since such a miracle would be impossible. Instead, he explained it as a moral story: people shared the food they already had because they were inspired by Jesus’ preaching about love. Eijk added that this kind of denial destroyed the faith of many Catholics. He recalled that in the 1950s and 1960s the once-strong Church in the Netherlands collapsed, identifying one of the causes as poor preaching by clergy who themselves undermined belief. According to him, the faith of once-convinced Catholics was “…More
The late Cardinal Johannes Joachim Degenhardt (1926–2002), Archbishop of Paderborn, has been portrayed as a perpetrator of child homosexual abuse in many German media outlets, ranging from state television to the tabloid Bild. Some reports have even suggested that he was part of a so-called 'pedocriminal network'. However, the 747-page historical study commissioned by the Archdiocese of Paderborn and published on 12 March shows that these claims are not supported by the study. Where the Allegations Originated The accusations originated from Reinhold Harnisch, the spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Paderborn's "victims' advisory board". Harnisch claimed that Degenhardt had been part of a paedophile ring and that boys were transported between clergy. Study Finds No Evidence of Personal Abuse While the study is highly critical of the church leadership, including Cardinal Degenhardt, it found no evidence of personal abuse. It documents delayed or inadequate responses to allegations, the …More

Reforms of Opus Dei may well be needed, I wouldn’t know, but this guy is using his campaign against them in part to push an anti-Catholic agenda. I heard he is even a pro-abort.
Today, Pope Leo XIV received Gareth Gore in audience. Gore is a British financial journalist who has attacked Opus Dei in recent years. Since his election, Leo XIV has met with the leadership of Opus Dei twice to discuss the revision of their statutes. Opus Dei as "Abusive Cult" Gore's most notable book is Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church (2024). He presents a caricature of Opus Dei, claiming that the organisation has built its influence through networks of members in business and finance, including figures linked to Banco Popular Español. He speaks of an "abusive cult". Gore describes a strict internal discipline and secrecy, and alleges that Opus Dei engages in coercive recruitment and exploitation. He invents that some assistants (women who perform domestic work in Opus Dei centres) are victims of human trafficking. The Collapse of Banco Popular However, the collapse of Banco Popular in 2017 is generally explained …More
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
