The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer – commonly known as the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – have issued a declaration stating that “we cannot accept the current pretenders to the papacy from the time of the Second Vatican Council.” The Transalpine Redemptorists were founded in 1987 with the blessing of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The founder, Fr Michael Mary, derives his holy orders from Lefebvre. The community operated on good terms with the SSPX for many years, until the majority of the community reconciled with the Vatican in 2008. A community of nearly 30 members, “The Sons” have had operations in Scotland, USA and New Zealand. In recent years, they have experienced acrimonious relations with the bishop of Christchurch Diocese, NZ, who evicted them from the diocese in 2024. In October 2025, the community issued a forceful open letter repudiating “the Synodal Church” and the reforms of Vatican II. While aspects of the October letter pointed towards the conclusion of a vacant See, …More
Catholic Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee opens tiny home village for senior citizens The church has identified more land that it already owns and plans to build more tiny homes Local News from WALA
Here's a thought exercise. What if the hierarchy is replete with sodomites. I am not making any accusations, but Jesus did ask "What did you go into the wilderness to see?" It is the scientific method to know what to expect before examining the evidence. If they are sodomites, it would be important to eliminate any judgement in the church. They can't exclude just their own sin because anyone with rudimentary reading skills can see that sodomy is condemned all the way back to... well, Sodom. They would eliminate reverence since reverence is specifically controlling ones urges which flies in the face of the surrender to urges which is at the base of their lifestyle. They would promote situational ethics (the "concrete situation" of Amoris Letitia) since their urges are the situation which defines their morality. They would say, as Leo says, there are worse sins than sexual sins. (Actually, it is not "sexual sin" but specifically sodomy which cries out, along with three other sins for …More
Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure. InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post." Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese. Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007. He has been a Russian citizen since 2011. In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states. Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity …More
On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text: "There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.' What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter? Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions? Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More
Wounded Art: Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, Austria, has encircled a loaned statue of the Sacred Heart from Vienna’s Votive Church with string lights. Entitled “Wounded Light”, the result is on display at an exhibition in the Kunsthaus Mürzzuschlag from 25 April to 14 June 2026. The bishop's Instagram post reads: “On the polished surface of the figure are auratic cones of light, sites of inflammation, and light-shy wounds.” On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV received Bishop Glettler after the general audience.

05/02/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. A title like that fits practically any topic that might come to mind. The carbon tax, the fight against the economic decline caused by the authorities’ “rescue measures” in the area of migration, global warming, which is currently heading in a direction that threatens the planet with apocalyptic cold waves. One could go on and on with this list. This whole circus boils down to one thing: governments are serving us, on a silver platter, a solution to problems that would never have arisen in the first place without the active involvement of these very governments. It’s as simple as building a flail. A flail is an agricultural hand tool used for threshing, the process of separating grains from their husks. It can also be used for military purposes being made in the same way as a threshing-flail but much stronger and furnished with iron spikes. Source. Yes, it’s simple—but not for everyone. I still come across people who are firmly convinced …
Home » Architecture » Before and After: St. Frances Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin Conrad Schmitt Studios have provided us with yet another 'before and after' project, this time coming out of the parish church of St. Francis Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The present church building was originally constructed in the year 1870 and over the century it underwent at least two renovations; one around the mid-century period, and another following the Second Vatican Council. In the mid-century period it obtained a renovation which essentially modified the church's altars and decoration programme to something more akin to the fads and fashions of the twentieth century liturgical movement; what came in the latter part of the twentieth century was far more radical with decorative paintwork being white-washed over, altars stripped out, and the sanctuary ordering completely changed. That is the particular face of the church that constitutes what came immediately before the restorative works …
02.05.2026 CARD.FERNANDEZ REALLY WANTS THE SSPX, SBC, F.I TO BE IN SCHISM OR BE EXCOMMUNICATED : WITH VATICAN COUNCIL II IRRATIONAL HE MAKES TRADITION OBSOLETE A If LG 8,14,16 etc are invisible then Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez are in schism with Vatican Council II rational ( which they don’t accept) and the Athanasius Creed etc with no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II, which they also do not affirm. They are not Feeneyite on extra ecclesiam nulla salus, even though LG 8, 14 16 etc are not explicit exceptions for EENS etc. B If LG 8, 14, 16 etc are physically invisible cases in 2026 then Bishop Bernard Fellay and Fr. Davide Pagliarani are in schism with Vatican Council II , irrational, which they do not accept and they are in schism also with the Athanasius Creed , which has exceptions for them. They are not Feeneyite on EENS, like the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention any exceptions. Vatican Council II has exceptions for the Creeds for the SSPX …More
Papa León XIV y el presidente del Consejo Europeo hablan sobre temas importantes El Papa León XIV y el presidente del Consejo Europeo, António Costa, hablaron por teléfono este 29 de abril sobre diversos temas como Palestina, Medio Oriente, los cristianos en el Líbano y la situación actual de África. hmtv
Pope Leo XIV has brought to the table the delicate situation of Christians in the Middle East during a telephone conversation held this Wednesday, April 29, with the President of the European Council, António Costa, in a context marked by the growing instability in the region and the real risk to Christian communities. According to Vatican News, the Pontiff centered the dialogue on two particularly sensitive points: the West Bank, in the State of Palestine, and the situation of Christians in southern Lebanon, one of the areas where the Christian presence is increasingly threatened by geopolitical tension. Lebanon, a focus of concern for the Holy See During the conversation, Leo XIV emphasized the situation of Christians in southern Lebanon, where communities live under constant pressure amid unending conflicts. The reference is not minor. Lebanon has historically been one of the few countries in the region with a significant Christian presence, today weakened by political instability …More
Timeline Emerges: Mary Phagan Dead Hours Before Body Found The headline you referenced, "Girl Was Dead Ten Hours Before Her Body Was Found," reflects the intense scrutiny during the 1913 investigation into Mary Phagan’s death. Mary Phagan was last seen alive on Saturday, April 26, 1913, when she arrived at the National Pencil Company to collect her wages. Her body was discovered by the night watchman, Newt Lee, in the factory basement at approximately 3:30 a.m. the following Sunday morning. The forensic and investigative timeline of the case became a primary point of debate during the coroner's inquest, as officials worked to determine the exact hour of her death and the circumstances surrounding her final hours at the factory. The assertion that she had been dead for many hours prior to the discovery was a key element in establishing the timeline of the events that unfolded at the factory on that Saturday.
Oh, Tom, I love this. It is so, so true. We could benefit, perhaps, in those hard moments by going into our rooms, closing the door, getting on our knees and begging Our Blessed Mother for the right things to say and to help us be the kind of Mother she is.
