Sat Apr 18, 2026 - 2:38 pm EDT Editor’s note: The following text is taken from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s X account, first published on April 18, 2026, and republished here in full. (LifeSiteNews) — It is understandable that many Catholics feel offended and scandalized by the statements made by the President of the United States regarding Leo, even if one certainly cannot claim that Jorge Bergoglio refrained during his “reign” from launching attacks and provocations against Donald Trump. Moreover, the latter’s intervention is contextualized by the statements orchestrated against him this week on the CBS, propaganda program 60 Minutes by three utterly corrupt cardinals: Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin, three prelates who are notoriously ultra-Bergoglian and ultra-progressive, part of the network of the serial abuser Theodore McCarrick, inextricably linked to the radical “woke” Left, and key electors and closest collaborators of Robert Prevost. BREAKING: Archbishop Viganò just …

On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …More
Still, as Skaespeare tells us, "give the devil his due." The Pope was clearly attempting to dampen things down, which was a wise move. Perhaps President Trump will respond in kind, and both men can get back to doing their primary jobs.
This is Trump's spiritual leader and Senior Faith Advisor, who stood at a White House podium on Easter and blasphemously compared him to Jesus Christ. She once said that when she speaks to Trump, she speaks to God. She has regular access to the president.
Camus @newstart_2024 The CIA can remotely take over your car and drive it into a bridge at 140 mph. That’s just one of the revelations from the 2017 Vault 7 leaks, according to former CIA officer John Kiriakou. A disgruntled CIA engineer allegedly dumped thousands of pages of the agency’s most advanced hacking tools to WikiLeaks. The documents showed the CIA had developed ways to: - Hack your car’s computer and seize control - Turn your “off” smart TV into a live microphone - And much more that makes the old MKUltra programs look primitive. Kiriakou says it’s terrifying what the agency is now technologically capable of.

[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] “15 ~ . The body of the Son of God, lying in the tomb for three days, rose again and showed humanity the way of truth from death to life But you see that ‘the light-filled man, who had emerged from the dawn, appeared in greater splendour than any human tongue can express’. This shows that the Father’s glory touched the most noble body of the Son of God, born of the sweet Virgin, lying in the tomb for three days, in order to confirm that there are three persons in one Godhead. Thus he received back the Spirit and rose again in brightest immortality in such a way that no human imagination or words can explain. And the Father presented him with his open wounds to the heavenly choirs, saying: ‘This …More
"The Living Light therefore speaks with the secret word of Wisdom: God is full and whole and beyond the beginning of time, and therefore he cannot be divided or analysed by words as a human being can. God is a whole and nothing other than a whole, to which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be taken away. For he-who-is is both paternity and divinity, since it is said ‘I am who I am’. 2 And he-who-is is fullness itself. How is this to be understood? By his activity, creativity and perfection."
Stephen Colbert Wants the Vice President to Lay Off the Pope "More Catholic Than the Pope" The “Late Show” host scolded JD Vance for suggesting that Pope Leo XIV “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” nytimes.com/…16/arts/television/stephen-colbert-v… Appearing at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Ga., on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance commented on Pope Leo XIV’s criticism of the U.S. bombing of Iran, saying the pontiff should “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” Stephen Colbert, a fellow Catholic, called Vance, a relatively recent convert, out on Wednesday. “Wow! Hey, hey, hey, JD, I know you’re Catholic, but you joined in 2019, OK?” he said. “I’ve been genuflecting since the mid-1960s.” “I think you’re out over your Catholic skis here, OK? I think it’s time for you to sit down, then stand back up. Then kneel. Then stand again. Then shake hands with people around you. Then kneel a little more, then go take communion, then go back to your …More
With Fatherly tenderness, Pope Leo hugs a child after Bamenda Mass | Shalom World News At the close of the Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon, as the crowd slowly parted and the moment seemed to fade, a small girl broke through the tide of people—driven by a quiet, unshakable determination. Past barriers, past hesitation, she ran toward Pope Leo, as if carried by something greater than courage. He saw her. And in that instant, the atmosphere seemed to pause. The Pope stepped forward, gathered her into a gentle embrace, and smiled with the tenderness of a shepherd who knows his flock. He lingered—long enough for a photograph, long enough to honor the moment—and placed a rosary in her hands. No words were needed. In her persistence, and in his response, something deeper was revealed: a meeting of innocence and compassion, where faith became touch, and joy became unforgettable.
