Cardinal Tucho Fernández repeated to VaticanNews.va on May 6 that the German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. The pro-homosexual cardinal is a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. He stated that a letter he sent in November 2024 regarding an earlier draft of the German bishops’ blessing guidelines remains fully applicable to the final version approved in April 2025. The German bishops’ document in question is titled Blessing Gives Strength to Love. They falsely claimed Vatican support for their guidelines. The Vatican’s release of the November 2024 letter was “in agreement with Pope Leo XIV.” “That letter is the only and final response,” Tucho told Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, chairman of the German bishops’ liturgy commission, during a meeting in the Vatican on November 12, 2025. Tucho explained that although the final German text differs somewhat from the original draft …অধিক
By refuting the formal ritual of the pseudo-blessing of sodomitic concubines—devised by the schismatic German apostates—Tucho reaffirms his own sacrilegious and "informal" pseudo-blessing for sodomitic concubines; while it might appear that he is taking a step backward, in reality he is moving forward by reaffirming his own pseudo-blessing. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples
The homosexual Tucho defends the sacrilegious and informal "blessing" of homosexual concubines—all while using the Germans as a scapegoat to create the impression that he is defending the Faith, given that the latter reveal the true face of apostasy and seek to formalize this sacrilegious pseudo-blessing of homosexual concubines. Bergoglio employed this very same cunning and diabolical strategy in Argentina to support the law regarding civil homosexual "pseudo-marriage," while simultaneously shielding his apostasy behind the argument that such civil homosexual unions could not be compared to the Sacrament of Matrimony.

We sit down with the rector of Our Lady of Victory, Msgr. David LiPuma, and Tom Lucia to discuss the incredible legacy of Venerable Nelson Baker.

Tonight at Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV responded to the criticism he has received from Donald Trump: "From the first moment, I have spoken of peace. The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to promote peace. If anyone wants to criticise me for doing so, they should do so truthfully. The Church has spoken out against nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that."
Leo's brief comments to the press this evening -- “I have already spoken from the first moment ‘peace be with you.’ The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully. The Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that”
Wed May 6, 2026 - 7:22 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The Council of Melkite Greek Catholic Bishops in Lebanon has voiced deep concern over Israeli military demolitions of civilian homes and religious buildings in areas of southern Lebanon under Israeli control. In a statement reported by the Associated Press on Monday, the bishops urged the Lebanese government and the United Nations to intervene and protect the property of civilians and religious institutions. They described the destruction — carried out after residents obeyed Israeli evacuation orders — as “a deep wound in the national and human conscience.” The bishops’ appeal centers on events in the village of Yaroun, where Israeli soldiers bulldozed a Melkite convent belonging to the Greek Catholic Basilian Salvatorian Sisters earlier this month. The convent, which also supported local education through an associated school run by the Sisters of the Holy Savior, had been evacuated at the outset of intensified fighting. Its two resident …
Islamists attacked the parish of St. Louis de Montfort in Meza, Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique, on April 30. According to Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), militants entered the parish in the afternoon and destroyed the church, parish offices, missionaries’ residence, and kindergarten. Buildings were set on fire and the historic church was reduced to rubble. The parish was founded in 1946 and was one of the main Catholic landmarks in the region. Bishop António Juliasse of Pemba said civilians were captured and forced to listen to speeches during the attack. The Cameroonian missionaries serving the parish were not present when the attackers arrived and were unharmed. There were no confirmed deaths during the April 30 attack. The insurgency in Cabo Delgado has continued since 2017 and has caused thousands of deaths and displaced more than one million people. Church officials say at least 118 churches and chapels have been destroyed during the conflict. Picture: ACN, #newsQveepjzxvl

A recent report from veteran Vatican journalist Nico Spuntoni (mentioned in English at Diane Montagna’s Substack) mentions that Rome: “… is concerned about the pastoral care of the persons (i.e. clergy) connected to the Society who do not intend to remain in it after a further break with Rome.” This should come as no surprise, as the Church has historically tried to limit the fallout of excommunications and schisms. Yet this presents an interesting question: what can Rome offer in terms of “pastoral” care to priests affiliated with the Society? I know there are some of my brethren who think Rome’s response will be quite limited, but I think that is a risky proposition. In the eyes of Rome, the Society will now have had two generations of episcopal lineage consecrated in opposition to Rome. The 1988 consecrations did not necessarily (and did not in the end) create a parallel hierarchy. The act of illicitly consecrated bishops consecrating their successors illicitly effectively creates …
Synod.va published on May 5 the final report of Study Group number 7 on the selection of bishops: “In the selection of a bishop, it is necessary to consider, among other qualities, his ‘synodal competencies’.” (page 3) At least, the document also mentions Catholic criteria: “Among the qualities sought in a bishop are moral integrity, doctrinal orthodoxy, pastoral sensitivity, leadership ability, and the capacity to administer the Church’s goods.” (page 3) The main idea of the report is expanding lay influence in bishop selection: “The cathedral chapter… finance council… lay council… youth and the poor should also be convened.” (page 4) The report proposes that, when a diocese is vacant, a committee be established to work with the Apostolic Nuncio, consisting of priests, consecrated religious, and laypersons. (page 5) Informants should include women, youth, academics, ecclesial movement members, the poor, marginalized persons, and representatives of Indigenous or minority communities. …অধিক
Since Rome has lost the faith and is the seat of the Antichrist, it is worth noting that the synod of apostates—homosexual activists and worshippers of Pachamama—consults with non-believers, apostates, and enemies of God and of the Church.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15,9-11. Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete."
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 15,9-11. In jener Zeit sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Wie mich der Vater geliebt hat, so habe auch ich euch geliebt. Bleibt in meiner Liebe! Wenn ihr meine Gebote haltet, werdet ihr in meiner Liebe bleiben, so wie ich die Gebote meines Vaters gehalten habe und in seiner Liebe bleibe. Dies habe ich euch gesagt, damit meine Freude in euch ist und damit eure Freude vollkommen wird. angelyelina
Leo XIV is expected to visit France at the end of September, according to a statement released Wednesday by the French Bishops’ Conference.

Truly, I see it not, because it is too bright for me. And yet, whatsoever I see, I see through it, as the weak eye sees what it sees through the light of the sun, which in the sun itself it cannot look upon. My understanding cannot reach that light, for it shines too bright. It does not comprehend it, nor does the eye of my soul endure to gaze upon it long. It is dazzled by the brightness, it is overcome by the greatness, it is overwhelmed by the infinity, it is dazed by the largeness, of the light. O supreme and unapproachable …অধিক
"Chapter XVIII ~ God is life, wisdom, eternity, and every true good And lo, again confusion; lo, again grief and mourning meet him who seeks for joy and gladness. My soul now hoped for satisfaction; and lo, again it is overwhelmed with need. I desired now to feast, and lo, I hunger more. I tried to rise to the light of God, and I have fallen back into my darkness. Nay, not only have I fallen into it, but I feel that I am enveloped in it. I fell before my mother conceived me. Truly, in darkness I was conceived, and in the cover of darkness I was born. Truly, in him we all fell, in whom we all sinned. In him we all lost, who kept easily, and wickedly lost to himself and to us that which when we wish to seek it, we do not know; when we seek it, we do not find; when we find, it is not that which we seek. Do you help me for your goodness' sake! Lord, I sought your face; your face, Lord, will I seek; hide not your face far from me (Psalm 26:13). Free me from myself toward you. Cleanse, heal,…অধিক
"Chapter XVII ~ In God is harmony, fragrance, sweetness, pleasantness to the touch, beauty, after his ineffable manner Still you are hidden, 0 Lord, from my soul in your light and your blessedness; and therefore my soul still walks in its darkness and wretchedness. For it looks, and does not see your beauty. It hearkens, and does not hear your harmony. It smells, and does not perceive your fragrance. It tastes, and does not recognize your sweetness. It touches, and does not feel your pleasantness. For you have these attributes in yourself, Lord God, after your ineffable manner, who have given them to objects created by you, after their sensible manner; but the sinful senses of my soul have grown rigid and dull, and have been obstructed by their long listlessness."

Acts of the Apostles 15,7-21. After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, "My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts. Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they." The whole assembly fell silent, and they listened while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them. After they had fallen silent, James responded, "My brothers, listen to me. Symeon has described how God first concerned himself with acquiring …অধিক
