On 19 April, the Israeli army confirmed that a soldier had beheaded a crucifix in Debel, southern Lebanon. In response, the Christian town wrote: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”. The army claimed that it views the incident with “great severity”, that the act is inconsistent with its values, and that an investigation is underway. The army also promised that measures would be taken against those responsible.

Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …بیہ
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.

Having already appointed several syncretic bishops, and just days after describing a mosque as a “divine, sacred space,” Leo XIV condemned syncretism in words. During the Eucharist in Bamenda, Cameroon, on 16 April, he cautioned against “falling into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature.”
Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon: “Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”

Then hear, O gracious Saviour, accept the love we bring, that we who know your favour may serve you as our king; and whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, we’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still: to marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways, and make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise. We bow in adoration and kneel before your throne, we sing of our devotion and make your presence known: with …بیہ
From Pope Francis, the idea of synodality remains - that is, the notion that the Church is a process of listening, consultation and struggle, Austrian Jesuit Andreas Batlogg told Kirche-und-Leben.de on 17 April. He has written several books about Francis, including an early biography. Regarding the 2019 Amazon Synod, Father Batlogg said that Francis had come close to abolishing celibacy: "Then there was massive backlash. And he slowed down." Something similar happened with the Synod on Synodality, which concluded without a final document. The internal division within the Church under Francis has become "very deep": "There was open resistance, not just behind the scenes." With Leo XIV, however, there has been "more of a shift in tone than a break in substance", according to Fr Batlogg. Leo XIV presents himself as calmer and more controlled, with a greater focus on clarity and a more traditional demeanour: "However, these are initially matters of style." Und: "In terms of content, I see …بیہ
18.04.2026 The SSPX maintains the separation of Church and State, a leftist concept. Since they use the New Theology created with the False Premise they have collegiality, with the liberals. With the New Theology they are liberals on Ecumenism and Inter-Religious Dialogue, like the pope and the cardinals and bishops. Cushingism is liberalism and schism. They cite Tradition but in Tradition there were no separation between state and Church. Presently Pope Leo is aligned with the leftist state. They interpret Vatican Council II as does Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium. EG mentions hypothetical cases as if they are visible and personally known people, in the present times saved outside the Catholic Church. Ad Gentes 7 is not mentioned and it is assumed that Vatican Council II has explicit exceptions for AG 7 and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is the common irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II. APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION EVANGELII GAUDIUM OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS …بیہ
Prevost in condemning all war as incompatible with God’s will, has broken with Scripture, Church Tradition, and centuries of Catholic just war doctrine. LifeSiteNews— Leo XIV has publicly contradicted the teaching of the Catholic Church that engaging in warfare is morally legitimate under certain conditions. Before that battle, Constantine and his army saw a gigantic luminous cross in the sky above the sun, bearing words in Greek that they translated into Latin as *“In hoc signo vinces”*—*“With this sign, you shall conquer.”* Deeply impressed, Constantine had dreams about this and decided to mark his soldiers' shields with this Christian symbol. Pope Urban II summoned the "soldiers of Christ" to participate in a holy war against the Muslims—a "savage, impious, and subhuman" race. During the Crusades, indulgences were granted to those who fought for the Faith. Prevost despises Christ Crucified
Pope Clement XI extended the Feast of the Holy Rosary to the entire universal Church in thanksgiving for the victory against Islam during the assault by the infidels. Pope Benedict XIII decreed that all these events were to be included in the historical lessons of the Roman Breviary.
We live in a time where the "Prince Charming" bailed on foot because his horse died miles ago, and the "Princess" is still locked in her tower, terrified to turn the key because she just got her nails done... Whatever happened to values? To real love, loyalty, and basic respect for another human being? Where did it all go? Face-to-face conversations have been replaced by ghosting and silence. Working on a relationship has been traded for "upgrading" to a newer, shinier model. Friendships now have an expiration date—usually right when the benefits run out. People who were supposed to be your rock end up becoming your worst enemies. Where the hell did the integrity go?! Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. Not for a second. The "Prince" who was supposed to be charming turns out to be just another player who used you and moved on. The "Princess" who was once wrapped around your neck, telling you that you were her entire world, turns on a dime the moment she finds someone with a bigger bank …بیہ
