“We are working in our own small way, with our limited manpower, to bring about an Imperfect General Council that will publicly recognise the present Catholic disaster that has no way out but through,” said Father Michael Mary, head of the Congregation of the Transalpine Redemptorists, in an interview with ThePress.co.nz on 10 April. The group was expelled from the Christchurch Diocese in New Zealand in July 2024 following allegations, primarily concerning unauthorised exorcism practices. The priests denied any wrongdoing. In October 2025, the community repudiated “false shepherds” and recent papal documents without explicitly declaring the papal office vacant. Their proposed “council” would consist of bishops acting without papal authority, though no names have been given: “There are Catholics all over the world left in ‘Catholic bunkers’ who know what is going on. It is a matter of reaching out to them.” Toward Electing a "Pope"? To justify the idea, Father Michael Mary invokes …More

Rational people see this as pure manipulation of Markets; and the nitwits in the markets seem to actually believe it! Trump makes this announcement on a Tuesday. The 48 Hours covers Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday, maybe negotiations start, maybe they don’t., but in the meantime, MARKETS hold-the-line thinking “all will be well” when that’s simply not the case. The people I spoke with today about this told me they see this as PURE MARKET MANIPULATION. They’re gob-smacked that the so-called “experts” in the markets, are so gullible, so blind to reality, so utterly stupid, they can’t even see they’re being grossly manipulated. Unlike the folks I spoke with, I do not believe the “experts …
The latest outburst from Donald J. Trump is a direct and unusually aggressive attack on Pope Leo XIV. Trump wrote on social media that Leo XIV is “weak on crime” and “a disaster in foreign policy”. “He talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart.” Trump does “not want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers and drug dealers into our Country.” “And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE …More
1. Aquinas (and St. Agustine also) said that early gestation unborn babies are vegetable and animals before becoming human. Pro-abortion Catholic President Biden and Catholic Speaker Pelosi both quoted this in their defense of early legal abortion. 2.Aquinas said that “conscience” must always be followed. This is absolutely contrary to Catholic teaching, but some people still cite this as justification for abortion. 3. Aquinas foolishly said that lying is never permissible. Imagine the classic situation that you are hiding Jews in your attic during WW2 and the Nazis ask you if you are hiding Jews. According to Aquinas you must tell the Nazis “Yes they are in the attic” which results in the murder of the Jews. Aquinas is wrong...Biblically wrong.
1. Was there clarity regarding the infusion of the soul at that time settled by the Church ? You can be sure St Thomas would have changed his opinion to be in conformity. He is obviously not infallible. 2. Conscience is "with knowledge". Plainly without knowledge would mean something different. As Catholic Doctrine is clear i.e the science exists and is clear that abortion is a grave moral evil , those who support it follow contrascience. 3. Is a bit of a straw man and obviously the action of providing information to aid evil would not be supported by Aquinas. You could truthfully hold the position that Christ determines the sons of Abraham as those who like Abraham, rejoiced at His coming. Being God, He gets to define who they are surely. What labels men choose to erroneously co-opt is their own affair. You are quite free to ignore the misdesignation without scruple. So you can with good conscience say quite truthfully there are no Jews here, thereby protecting your neighbour and avoid …More
Leo XIV's current visit to Algeria is (also) personal. In 2004, Father Prevost participated in a pilgrimage to mark the 1650th anniversary of Saint Augustine’s birth, reports IlGiornale.it on 13 April. Due to security concerns, the group had been heavily escorted by police and had been restricted to a brief visit to Annaba (ancient Hippo). No broader travel inside Algeria was considered safe at the time. They were strongly advised not to spend the night in Algeria, which is why they returned to Tunisia the same day. Fr Prevost was dressed entirely in civilian clothes, as usual. Returning now as Pope, he revisits those same places. Picture: Conversation Nico Spuntoni, #newsJsaejrgunk
Valentina Gomez: «First, you give them a prayer room inside the Vatican. Second, you visit a mosque instead of the Christians in Nigeria that are being slaughtered by muslims. muslims call for the murder of Christians, Jews, & the rest of the infidels. Resign as pope, & go become an imam then.» Apostasy from the Faith is defined as “the complete and voluntary abandonment of the Christian religion, whether the apostate embraces another religion such as Paganism, Judaism, Mohammedanism, etc., or merely makes profession of Naturalism, Rationalism, etc.” (Catholic Encyclopedia,s.v. “Apostasy”). Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. Apostate Robert Prevost: "All Religions Are Mothers. All Believers are Brothers" Prevost stated that “our task is not to build a Christendom,” which is directly contrary to the “Great Commission” entrusted to the Apostles by Christ before his Ascension.

Saint Alphonsus Liguori Christians have the right to confide in God, contrary to the followers of Mohammed A priest of the Society of Jesus, who during life devoted a great deal of time to the conversion of sinners, died with joy and confidence of salvation; this some considered to be excessive. Hence he was told that at death we should entertain sentiments of fear as well as of confidence. He answered: Have I served Mahomet? I have served a God who is so grateful and faithful; why, then, should I fear? (Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Dignity and duties of the priest: or, Selva, pg. 172)
Alexander Litvinenko’s accusation that Vladimir Putin was a paedophile may have been one of the motives for the Russian government to order his assassination, a report into the former Russian spy's death has found. Sir Robert Owen’s inquiry looked at the former FSB agent’s “highly personal attacks” on the Russian President, which culminated with an article on the Chechenpress website in July 2006, four months before he was poisoned. Mr Litvinenko’s article, which was published as evidence in the report, started by recounting a meeting between Mr Putin and a boy “aged four or five” in a square near the Kremlin. 0 seconds of 2 minutes, 26 secondsVolume 90% “Putin kneeled, lifted the boy’s T-shirt and kissed his stomach,” Mr Litvinenko wrote. “Nobody can understand why the Russian president did such a strange thing as kissing the stomach of an unfamiliar small boy.” The former FSB agent claimed there were “blank spots” in Mr Putin’s career that could be explained by his superiors …

Foley admitted that it is difficult for him to have faith, “especially now because of all the bad things that have happened to me,” though he accepts Catholic teaching about the sacraments. His condition makes it difficult for him to move, and he can no longer eat or drink, receiving his nourishment from IV fluids. On top of this, he has suffered pain, severe fatigue, and cognitive decline, as well as cruel behavior from hospital staff.
Mon Apr 13, 2026 - 11:55 am EDTMon Apr 13, 2026 - 10:57 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A disabled man known for speaking out against Canada’s aggressive euthanasia regime recently received sacraments, including Extreme Unction, from a traditional Catholic priest. Roger Foley, who suffers from an incurable and degenerative brain disease, told LifeSiteNews that he welcomed the opportunity to have a priest visit after a period of health decline despite the fact that he has long been irreligious. “It was a very wonderful experience,” Foley said regarding the visit. “I felt honored and humbled, especially with the kindness and knowledge of the priest. I would tell him how confused I am, and he would tell me more about the Catholic faith. He answered a lot of my questions.” Foley admitted that it is difficult for him to have faith, “especially now because of all the bad things that have happened to me,” though he accepts Catholic teaching about the sacraments.
