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.”

Cardinal Robert Sarah spoke with La Nef on May 4 about his new interview book. Main quotes. On Francis: “It would be unjust to attribute to one man alone a crisis that largely preceded him. I had the opportunity to speak privately with Pope Francis to humbly share my concerns that practical ambiguity might blur doctrinal clarity.” Return of paganism within the Church: “This paganism can be recognized by several signs: the fading sense of sin, embarrassment at affirming revealed truth, the trivialization of liturgy, fascination with worldly categories, the forgetting of the Church’s supernatural purpose. When God is no longer first—even within the Church—everything else deteriorates.” Susceptibility to the spirit of the age: “One ends up believing that the Church will be better heard if she speaks like everyone else. But the world does not expect the Church to repeat its own words; it expects her to open Heaven to it.” Signs of renewal? “I believe the Church’s interior reform has …Ebisinga
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he told Pope Leo XIV on May 7 that Iran poses “a danger to the world, which is largely recognized.” He also described the Vatican meeting as “very cordial and important,” downplaying suggestions of animosity between the US and the Holy See.
Sec Marco Rubio: "I expressed to them on the situation with Iran, expressed our point of view about why this was an important and the danger that Iran posed us to the world, which is largely recognized." "The Holy Father is a spiritual leader, he's the first and foremost, that's his role to play, and obviously the church has always interacted on behalf of a mission for peace and a respect for all of humanity." "But at the end, it was very cordial and important meeting, and it's important to share our points of view and an explanation and an understanding of where we're coming from, and I thought it was very positive."
Mr. Rubio is mistaken; the real global danger (not for bodies but for souls) is that Satan is now sitting on the Throne of Peter and no one realizes it, treating him as if he were the Vicar of Christ.
The sadomasochism group “Ecumenical Working Group on BDSM and Christianity” will be taking part in the 104th German Catholic Congress (Katholikentag) in Würzburg from 13 to 17 May. The Katholikentag is one of the largest gatherings of "Catholics" in Germany. It includes liturgical scandals, political discussions, cultural events, and stands from hundreds of different organisations. The sadomasochism group will host a stand from 14 to 16 May. Its members are “Christians” from various denominations who discuss sexuality and eroticism "particularly in the field of sadomasochistic sexual preferences". They aim to remove the taboo surrounding the topic and provide information about sadomasochistic practices within a 'faith' context. Also present at the Katholikentag will be the 'Network of Catholic Lesbians', which describes itself as an independent, feminist, Catholic-oriented spiritual network. #newsGobikwjarm
This is one of the unknown miracles of the Tilma of Guadalupe: The stars on her mantle aren't decoration, they are a music. The stars on the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe perfectly align with the constellations over Mexico on December 12, 1531. The stars are arranged in emmission (as if viewed from outside the solar system, looking toward Earth) rather than reflection (as seen from Earth's surface looking up). But there is a hidden code. If you take the position of the stars and the flowers on her dress and place them on a musical staff, they create a perfect, harmonious melody. It is literally a song from Heaven. Listen:
The Polish priest Beniamin Sęktas (ordained in 2020) from the Diocese of Drohiczyn in eastern Poland publicly called for the resignation of Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, 62, of Krakow. Pope Leo XIV had promoted the pro-homosexual Cardinal Ryś from Łódź to Krakow in November 2025. In an open letter published in mid-December 2025, Rev. Sęktas asked the Cardinal to resign. He called Cardinal Ryś a “public collaborator of rainbow Catholics.” Furthermore, Rev. Sęktas noted that Cardinal Ryś promotes extraordinary lay ministers to distribute Communion. The letter included statements such as: “You continue to shock and scandalize many Catholics” “the cynical face of an activist seeking the applause of opinion-forming elites” Bishop Henryk Sawczuk of Drohiczyn summoned Rev. Sęktas and reprimanded him. On May 4, the Diocese of Drohiczyn published a statement saying that the priest had violated the media guidelines adopted by the Polish Bishops’ Conference in 2023. The bishop also forbade him from …Ebisinga

Thu May 7, 2026 - 12:44 pm EDTThu May 7, 2026 - 2:33 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), confirmed that the Vatican had rejected the German bishops’ conference’s (DBK) proposed official guidelines for the formal “blessings” of homosexual and other irregular “couples” in a 2024 letter. In a statement to Vatican News published May 6, Fernández confirmed that back in 2024, the DDF wrote a letter to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier in Germany saying that the DBK’s proposed guidelines for the “blessing” of homosexual “couples” contradict the 2023 Vatican document Fiducia Supplicans, which allows for the spontaneous, “non-liturgical blessing” of homosexuals. The cardinal prefect stressed that the text, which was published by the Vatican on May 4, also served as a rejection of the DBK’s official guidelines for the “blessings” of homosexual “couples,” the divorced and civilly “remarried,” …
May God have mercy on us, for our Church has fallen into the hands of our enemies. What a monumental tragedy it is to witness the abomination of two apostates usurping the office of Pope—Pachamama worshippers openly promoting the practice of sodomy: the Great Rebellion against God and the Church! To suffer the misfortune of beholding two demons incarnate—enablers of pedophiles—who have trampled upon the laws of God and violated every standard of decency. To be forced to watch as they corrupt the youth with total impunity. First, the apostate Bergoglio, who—without any fear of God—dared to refer to cross-dressing homosexuals posing as women as "girls"; and who promoted sacrilegious Communion for sodomites and adulterers, as well as pseudo-blessings for those unrepentant apostates living in concubinage. And then the other impostor, Prevost, who follows in Bergoglio’s diabolical footsteps—and does not stop there—but rather, shamelessly despising the Priesthood and the Papacy instituted …Ebisinga
