US Justice Department: "Prosecute Any Nun Who Still Wears the Veil"

Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration joked about prosecuting Catholic nuns who attended a pro-Trump rally, according to text messages released by Senator Chuck Grassley and reported by DailyWire.com on April 29.
Prosecutor Molly Gaston wrote after viewing a photo of nuns wearing habits at the rally: “I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them.”
Prosecutor Joseph Cooney replied, “I’m with you,” adding that he would like to prosecute “any nun who still wears the head habit.”
Grassley obtained the messages during an investigation into Justice Department conduct and condemned the remarks as evidence of bias against religious Americans.

She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived.
“Take me in, oh tender woman ,
“Take me in, for heaven’s sake,
“Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake.
Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried.
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died.”
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight .
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite.
…“I saved you,” cried that woman.
“And you've bit me even, why?

The Archdiocese of Rouen cancelled a scheduled performance by a well-known Portuguese DJ priest at its Joan of Arc celebrations amid mounting criticism.

Padre Guilherme Replaced at Catholic Event After Criticism

Despite originally being announced as one of the event’s featured attractions, Portuguese priest and DJ Guilherme Peixoto will no longer perform at the opening-night concert of Rouen’s 2026 Jeanne d’Arc celebrations on 14 May.
The Archdiocese of Rouen, France, said that Padre Guilherme had requested to postpone his appearance. This followed public criticism of his inclusion in the festival programme. Critics questioned the appropriateness of a priest performing electronic music during celebrations dedicated to Joan of Arc.
He will be replaced by French DJ Charles B, who will be accompanied by a local opening act. Unlike Padre Guilherme, the replacement performers are not clergy and their performance is not framed by religion.

Biden Admin Targeted Traditional Christians, Tracked Catholic Priests

The United States Department of Justice released on April 30 a 548-page report on how the Biden administration targeted believing Christians, including traditional Catholics.
The report concludes that the Biden administration “zealously pursued actions to limit Christians’ ability to act in accordance with their faith,” particularly those holding traditional biblical views on abortion, sexuality, and gender.
Among the report’s findings is that the FBI’s Richmond Field Office treated traditional Catholics as potential extremists, including churches associated with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X.
The FBI expanded its scrutiny after interviewing Xavier Louis Lopez, a self-described “radical traditional Catholic Clerical Fascist” convicted of possessing destructive devices. Agents opened a formal law-enforcement “Guardian profile” on his church and interviewed his priest, despite the parish having no involvement in his crimes.
Agents also tracked the priest’s jail visits to Lopez …Ētahi atu

Bishop Eleganti Wrote to Leo XIV about Homosexual Clergy

Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote to Pope Leo XIV about widespread homosexuality among priests and its significance in the abuse crisis in the Church. He mentioned this on Marian-Eleganti.ch on April 24:
"All church studies on abuse show a disproportionately high number of male victims. It does little good to turn a blind eye to this."
He also drew attention to the numerous cases of sexual abuse occurring outside the Church, emphasising that society is primarily focused on and scandalised by those within the clergy.

Fatima priests Gruner and Kramer: Benedict’s resignation invalid - Bergoglio was NOT Pope

Daniel 11:23: Through his accomplices, he will act with deceit.
The Magisterium of the Church teaches that the elevation of a heretic to the papacy is invalid and null. Since Pope Benedict did not renounce the papal *office*—but rather the *exercise* of the episcopate of Rome—it is established that there was no apostolic succession; this means that all of Bergoglio's acts, including the election of bishops, are invalid and null, as are his false canonizations and his heretical pamphlets—such as the pro-homosexual pamphlet *Fiducia Supplicans*, and the pro-adultery, pro-fornication, and pro-cohabitation pamphlet *Amoris Laetitia*. Now, this is significant because the fraudulent conclave that elected Prevost was infested with heretics.—including Prevost himself, who adhered to the Marxist liberationist current of Gustavo Gutiérrez in Peru, where he was a member of the heretical Latin American Augustinians: an apostate group that worships the Pachamama and promotes a false, "inculturated …Ētahi atu

German Bishops Reform Priestly Formation, Warn Against "Religious Fundamentalism"

On April 28, the German bishops published a new ‘Ratio Nationalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis’, a 203-page document reforming priestly formation in Germany.
It replaces the previous 111-page guidelines from 2003. Approved by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Clergy on March 11, the new norms are binding for Germany’s 27 dioceses.
Long-Term Decline
The reform comes amid a long-term collapse in priestly vocations. Germany ordained 557 priests in 1962 and 303 in 1970. By 2015, that number had fallen to 58, and by 2025 to just 25, the lowest figure on record.
At the same time, the number of lay pastoral workers increased from roughly 5,200 in 1990 to 7,516 in 2021, and include today transvestites.
Psychological Screening
The new Ratio includes expanded sections on psychology, abuse prevention, sexuality, synodality, and pastoral practice.
It mandates psychological screening for candidates and places new emphasis on emotional maturity, boundaries, and abuse prevention.
The document explicitly …Ētahi atu

Anglican 'Archbishopessa' Hints at Male-Only Priesthood as Injustice: After her audience with Leo XIV on Monday, Mrs Sarah Mullally, who holds the title and costume of Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, was asked whether she had spoken with the Pope about the impossibility of female ordination. She replied evasively, stating that although she is not a politician, one of her roles is to "speak out where there is injustice". The interview took place at the Venerable English College, a Catholic seminary in Rome.

In an interview at the Venerable English College in Rome following her private audience with Pope Leo XIV, Sarah Mullally was asked whether she discussed the ministry of women with the Pope.
“First and foremost, I am a pastor and a spiritual leader. But of course, in sometimes speaking as a spiritual leader and a pastor and a Christian, there are things that we will say that may be perceived as political – but I am not a politician.”
“In a sense, what I’m hoping to do is to provide people with hope, praying for those who are in difficulty,” she continued.
Mullally then hinted that she sees the ban on female ordinations as an “injustice,” stating that one of her tasks is “at times speaking out where there is injustice, but doing it in a way that is certainly pastoral and spiritually founded.”

Brothers—in case you have not yet grasped it—allow me to translate this for you into the very language of Marxist liberation pseudo-theology. Do you not realize that the war Prevost is waging is against Christ and His Church? This ideology teaches that the Catholic Church—Christ, His Church, and His male priesthood—are precisely the oppressors against whom they fight to defend the rendering of "justice" to (heretical) Protestants, to Jews who reject Christ, to pagans (Pachamamists), to idolatrous Muslims and all other false religions, to blasphemous atheists, and to all the unrepentant—such as sodomites, adulterers, and the like.

The Forgotten Catholic Origins of the Bachelor Party

Today, a bachelor party is often understood as the “last night of freedom.” However, from a Catholic perspective, it is possible to rediscover a deeper meaning: an interior preparation before giving one’s final “yes.”
The Catholic Classroom” shared a reflection on Instagram about this celebration, which many consider a modern invention, but which can also be connected to ancient Christian practices such as the Vigil of Arms.
“One night, a man stayed awake to pray, fast, and examine his heart before making a lifelong vow.”
According to the post, becoming a husband in the Middle Ages was taken as seriously as becoming a knight. Before making this lifelong commitment, a man would spend a night in vigil—not to celebrate, but to prepare himself spiritually.
It was a time of silence and reflection. Through prayer and fasting, the groom-to-be prepared his heart for a commitment that would shape the rest of his life.
In this context, the Groomsman were not merely party companions. Their …

Carmelite community of Campiégne martyrs to close: The historic Carmelite community of Compiègne, which is now based in Jonquières, France, is closing. The six remaining nuns have announced that they will be leaving due to the ageing nature of the community and a lack of new vocations. Founded in 1641, the community is best known for the sixteen Carmelite martyrs of Compiègne who were executed during the French Revolution in 1794 and canonised by Pope Francis in 2024. The monastery in Jonquières has been home to the community since 1992. The nuns are leaving over the coming months, not all at once.

Carmelite community of Campiègne martyrs to close

The six remaining cloistered Carmelite nuns in Jonquières, France, are closing their historic community, ending a 400-year legacy of prayer ... and martyrdom.
It's a sad consequence of the lack of religious vocations. Bishop Jacques Benoit-Gonnin of Beauvais, Noyon, and Senlis (France) announced on April 21 the closure of the Compiègne
Carmelite community, located some six miles from the original site, in Jonquières, since 1992.
"As age advances, numbers decrease, vocations are slow in coming, and external reinforcements are impossible to find, our Carmelite Sisters of Compiègne have decided to close their community," the bishop explained. Six nuns currently remain at the monastery. They will leave gradually over the coming months.
Famous martyrs
The Carmel of the Annunciation, founded in Compiègne in 1641 and following the Rule of St. Teresa of Avila, was the 53rd foundation in France at the time. It had a unique impact, giving the Church 16 holy martyrs.
These 16 nuns were expelled …

And the impostor Robert Prevost, mocking the male priesthood instituted by Christ, began his speech by addressing the heretic Sarah Mullally disguised as a bishop and her accomplices with: "Your Grace,

Prevost maliciously using the name of Christ carried out his vendetta against the male priesthood instituted by Christ and against his Church

Prevost fails to point out that what he himself characterizes as " continuing challenges"—which have hindered full communion with Anglicans—are: schism, heresy, and apostasy; the invalidity of the ordination of women and homosexuals; and immoral practices that defy God's natural law and contradict Catholic morality, such as promoting the practice of sodomy. Which, moreover, contradict Scripture.
Prevost said: Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges * to prevent us from using every possible opportunity to proclaim Christ to the world together. As my beloved predecessor, Pope Francis, said to the Primates of the Anglican Communion in 2024, “it would be a scandal if, due to our divisions, we did not fulfil our common vocation to make Christ known” (Address to Primates of the Anglican Communion, 2 May 2024). For my part, I add that it would also be a scandal if we did not continue to work towards overcoming our differences, no matter how intractable they may appear. …

Catholic families in crisis: the Vatican recommends compost and a rain gauge

Vatican City – The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life have jointly published an eighty-page volume entitled Integral Ecology in the Life of the Family. The text, presented by Cardinals Michael Czerny S.J. and Kevin Joseph Farrell, is offered as a practical handbook intended to “inspire and encourage families to adopt attitudes and practices that promote the teachings of the Encyclical Laudato Si’”. The stated intention is a noble one; the result, however, raises serious questions about the pastoral priorities of the Holy See in an age marked by a crisis of the family which is, first and foremost, a crisis of faith, an economic crisis and an educational crisis.
An agenda dressed up as the Gospel

The structure of the document gives the game away: after a brief section on the “foundations”, the handbook devotes seven thematic chapters to goals which, as the introduction itself openly admits, are “taken from Laudato Si’
