Vatican Misrepresenting 'Courage' - Like Secular Media: The Vatican’s recent final report of the Synodal group on “emerging issues” [=homosexuality] drew criticism from 'Courage International'. This group helps homosexuals to live according to the teachings of the Church. In a May 8 statement, 'Courage' said the Vatican's report had committed “both calumny and detraction against the organization and its members.” Courage rejected claims that it engages in 'reparative therapy' and said that Synod officials could have clarified the matter by consulting its leadership rather than relying on one individual’s testimony. The organisation also expressed sadness that such criticism had appeared in an official Vatican document rather than from secular critics.

Ambrosiaster (Catena Bible Romans1) AD 400 Those who knew by the law of nature that God requires righteousness realized that these things were displeasing to God, but they did not want to think about it, because those who do such things are worthy of death, and not only those who do them but those who allow them to be done, for consent is participation. Their wickedness is double, for those who do such things but prevent others are not so bad, because they realize that these things are evil and do not justify them. But the worst people are those who do these things and approve of others doing them as well, not fearing God but desiring the increase of evil. They do not seek to justify them either, but in their case it is because they want to persuade people that there is nothing wrong in doing them. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles
Scary stuff! I'm thankful for her deliverance. God is all powerful and anyone needing help in this kind of situation can reach out through prayer! Don't give up! God bless you!
Vatican Sponsors Subversion of the Faith: The report of the Synod’s study group number 9 attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts "by stigmatizing that teaching as the expression of an obsolete ‘paradigm’ that no longer can be relied upon to communicate God’s will to His people," wrote Rev. Gerald Murray in TheCatholicThing.org: "This Vatican-sponsored destructive subversion must come to an end now."

Vatican News produced the documentary Leone a Roma for the first anniversary of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate. One scene featuring older photos shows him wearing Nike sneakers and liturgical vestments, sparking huge reactions online.
On Friday, Leo XIV. visited Naples Cathedral. Shortly before his arrival, the blood of Saint Januarius reportedly liquefied off-schedule. The miracle traditionally occurs three times a year and has also been linked to earlier papal visits, including that of Pius IX in 1848. During visits by John Paul II in 1979 and Benedict XVI in 2007, the miracle did not occur. Francis witnessed a partial liquefaction in 2015.

On 25 March, Pakistan’s Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the 13-year-old Christian girl Maria Shabaz should be returned to the man accused of abducting and forcibly marrying her. Maria was reportedly abducted in July 2025 when she was 12 years old, forcibly converted to Islam, and married to a 30-year-old man. The legal marriage age in Punjab is 18. In recent weeks, three Catholic bishops and human rights organisations have issued statements urging the authorities to review the ruling.
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar announced on Easter Sunday, April 5, that the government had constituted a committee to examine the March 25 judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court validating the marriage of 13-year-old Maria Shahbaz to 30-year-old Shaheryar Ahmad.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller on “fraudulent and blasphemous Blessings”: “The heretical relativization of natural and sacramental marriage is openly welcomed,” Cardinal Müller told PerMariam.com regarding the final report of the Vatican's synodal study group on homosexuality. “They do not openly deny the revealed truths. But they ignore them and build their own house of a comfortable and worldly-conforming Christianity alongside them.” Cardinal Müller also stated: “The private or even paraliturgical blessing of same-sex and opposite-sex couples in irregular relationships is based on the heretical denial of the revealed truth that God created human beings as man and woman.” Cardinal Müller further described such blessings as “fraudulent and blasphemous blessings.”
The Diocese of Amiens, northern France, has announced that it will not renew the mission of three conservative priests from the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon after months of “growing tensions” within the parishes. Fathers François-Régis Favre, Éloi Legrand, and Pierre-Marie Brochery, began serving in the parishes of Albert, Bray-sur-Somme, Mailly-Maillet, and Acheux in September 2025. They will depart at the end of the current pastoral year. In a statement released on April 27, Bishop Gérard Le Stang said the decision followed “a long period of reflection” and consultations with diocesan clergy and parishioners. He described the situation as having created a “deep and lasting disruption” within the communities. Cassocks, Novus Ordo in Latin The priests drew criticism from some parishioners for wearing cassocks, celebrating the Novus Ordo partly in Latin, and emphasizing moral teaching. Complaints also emerged regarding what some described as divisive preaching. One deacon reportedly …अधिक
During yesterday’s Papal General Audience, the music ensemble in St. Peter's Square entertained the older generation with 1970s songs: Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Dancing Queen by ABBA. The latter celebrates nightlife.
Ist „Dancing Queen“ ein passender Song für eine allgemeine Papstaudienz? Was meint ihr dazu?
@JANET ZIMMER Perhaps it was to awake nostalgy for the spirit of "conciliar spring" of 1960's and 1970's - long gone and forlorn. The song came out in 1976 - just a year after Montini's "charismatic moment" in St. Peter's Basilica.
By Alison Bevege https://lettersfromaustralia.substack.com/p/australia-sues-covid-vax-class-action Thousands of covid vaccine-injured Australians have been given new strength today after the Federal Court of Australia discussed dates for their class action to proceed. It has been a long road for the bereaved. They were pushed aside by the government at every turn, and they struggled with repeated submissions in their attempts to get justice through the courts since April 2023. In April last year, Justice Anna Katzmann gave their crowd-funded class action one last chance to overhaul its pleadings with a new legal team.
