Statue of Our Lady Remained Untouched After a Fire: A fire severely damaged sections of Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital in Enugu, Nigeria, on May 10, destroying offices, hospital equipment, and part of the children’s ward. Hospital administrator Sister Maria Chinaemerem Igwe said the blaze may have been caused by a power surge. Despite the destruction, a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary near the administrator’s office remained completely untouched, even though nearby objects melted and burned. Sister Maria described the event as a miracle talking to EWTN.

Worse than Germany: During a recent wedding at Saint Martin Church in Aubière, Diocese of Clermont-Ferrand, France, a deacon sang Claude François’s song “Cette année-là” (“That Year”) in front of the altar. The guests are jumping up and down, applauding and singing along. The Diocese of Clermont has been ruined by Archbishop François Kalist since 2016.

Worse than Germany:Bishop John Stowe of Kentucky, USA, compared the founders of the homosexual group ‘New Ways Ministry’ - which promotes homosexual “marriage” and “gender transitions” - to St. Paul, St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, and other Catholic figures. In a May 21 podcast the prelate said that the "Holy Spirit" might do something new: “Isn't this what Francis of Assisi experienced when his exuberance of spirit moved him to renounce the materialism and status that had defined his life and to embrace the outcast and the lepers? The Holy Spirit empowered him to discern how to rebuild the church by fidelity to the gospel and inclusion of the poor. Isn't this what Paul of Tarsus experienced when he saw no reason to exclude the Gentiles from this universal community? […] Isn't this opening of windows and doors what the founding leaders and supporters of 'New Way's Ministry' were doing as they embrace those wounded by rejection because of their sexual orientation?

Værre end Tyskland:Biskop John Stowe fra Kentucky, USA, sammenlignede grundlæggerne af den homoseksuelle gruppe 'New Ways Ministry' - som promoverer homoseksuelle "ægteskaber" og "kønsovergange" - med Paulus, Frans af Assisi, Moder Teresa og andre katolske personligheder. I en podcast den 21. maj sagde prælaten, at "Helligånden" måske ville gøre noget nyt: "Er det ikke det, Frans af Assisi oplevede, da hans sprudlende ånd fik ham til at give afkald på den materialisme og status, der havde defineret hans liv, og til at omfavne de udstødte og de spedalske? Helligånden gav ham kraft til at finde ud af, hvordan han kunne genopbygge kirken ved at være tro mod evangeliet og inkludere de fattige. Er det ikke det, Paulus fra Tarsus oplevede, da han ikke så nogen grund til at udelukke ikke-jøderne fra dette universelle fællesskab?

"I am not married and I don't have children, but I am not alone. I also have a partner, a woman, who supports me in my role as a priest", Munich parish priest Rainer Maria Schießler told Katholisch.de on May 22. He added that he stands by his way of life, saying: "You don't just choose a partnership; it develops because people are sympathetic to one another, and ultimately, it's a great gift. For me, at any rate, it gives me tremendous strength and enormous support in my work and in my celibate [!] way of life." He continued: "As a priest, I have just as much a right to my private life." When asked if he had received enquiries from Munich Archbishop Reinhard Marx regarding his public comments about his "female partner", Rev Schießler replied: "No, there was never anything to hide or explain." Rev Schießler is notorious for blessing homosexuals (pictured) and causing liturgical scandals. #newsDbopvakddv
What do these scandals seek to achieve? To discredit the Church and assassinate souls. To cause more people to be lost—for when people witness the bad example set by their pastors, they use it to justify their own sins, and thus join in the rebellion against God.
In the Prophecy of Saint Francis of Assisi, we are told that scandals will increase during the usurpation of the Papacy; and evidently, there is no one in Rome to restore order—for they all belong to the same apostate, homosexual sect that rebels against God, promoting adultery, sodomy, divorce, the abolition of celibacy, female ordination, the worship of false gods from false religions, and so forth. In other words, the presence of those scandals that go unpunished confirms to us that there is no legitimate Pope—and much less a defender of the Faith.
Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote a blog post on May 21 about the synodal “occupational therapy” ordered by the Vatican. Main points slightly shortened. - What comes from Rome — the workshop behind the universally proclaimed synodal process — is human wisdom. Apparently, its protagonists have nothing better to do than keep issuing instructions to local churches on how to manage and sustain this synodal process, a stillbirth from the start. - It is the full-time actors of this dysfunctional, committee-run Church who busy themselves - at great expense - with commissioned management tools and synodal papers. - Nothing comes of it except ever more documents to read, heterodox study results, and newly invented committees — on top of the many already existing ones. - By now, it has become clear what this process aims at: restructuring the Church’s longstanding doctrinal positions on divorce and remarriage, homosexuality and the broader queer agenda, the synodal democratization of …Meira
Capuas stift undersöker påståenden om att en glasfiberstaty av Padre Pio i Casalba nära Neapel fällde en tår, vilket först uppmärksammades den 18 april. Församlingsprästen Don Girolamo Capuano säger att han granskade övervakningsfilmerna från april och inte hittade några bevis för manipulation. Stiftet undersöker den substans som sågs på statyn. Fallet har uppmärksammats av pilgrimer och nationell media, samtidigt som kyrkans myndigheter förblir försiktiga efter att en tidigare "gråtande staty" i samma stad senare förklarades med regnvattenläckage.

Two priests and a subdeacon of the Transalpine Redemptorists have fled from the monastery island of Papa Stronsay, Scotland, according to PressAndJournal.co.uk on May 20. The three reportedly coordinated their departure with Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, who is expected to establish a new community with them in his diocese. They are said to have secretly contacted the bishop using a monastery laptop and left the island by boat without informing their superiors. The plan was discovered on the laptop on the day of their departure. Father Anthony Mary criticized the men for leaving in secret. “They left on the evening boat, and we have heard nothing since — no word, no explanation, nothing,” he said. He also accused Bishop Hugh Gilbert of having “worked against us.” Father Michael Mary, founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists, said the three left because of “theological differences.” The departure came shortly after the community published a manifesto rejecting the legitimacy of …Meira
FACTUAL CORRECTIONS: The two priests and seminarian who left the Transalpine Redemptorists: 1) The text above makes it sound as though they "escaped" in a boat. This is inaccurate. They did not live in Papa Stronsay but in Stronsay. They simply walked from the house in which they were living and took the evening ferry. That they "fled" is media nonsense. 2) Clearly because they left to go to the Bishop of Aberdeen they had to have been in contact with him. It was not a secret. Their complaints to the Bishop of Aberdeen had been ongoing since October 2025, but indeed without any reference to the monastery superior. All attempts by the superiors to talk matters through were in vain. 3) The date that they left the house in Stronsay and took the ferry was: 27 March. This was not after the death of Brother Ignatius Maria. Brother died 12 April. The text above wrongly states that Brother's body had not yet been found as of yesterday (23 May). Brother's body was found and positively identified …Meira
Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg, Germany, is "totally fascinated" by Pope Leo XIV, praising him for emphasising unity and opposing "nationalism". The bishop offered this praise in an interview with K-TV.org on 15 May. He also applauded Leo XIV’s willingness to confront powerful political figures and praised him for "standing up to Trump". "That impresses me greatly," said Bishop Jung. He added: "I rejoice very much in this calm, thoughtful manner." He also revived discussion of his favourite topics: married priests ('viri probati'), the position of women in the Church, and whether lay people could be authorised to preach — a practice which is already widespread and even expected in many German dioceses. Bishop Jung identified only one minor problem within the German Synodal Way: insufficient coordination with Rome. According to him, the German bishops now want to "take the next steps" together with the Vatican. #newsOevherwnwz
Biskop Franz Jung i Würzburg, Tyskland, är "helt fascinerad" av påven Leo XIV och berömmer honom för att han betonar enhet och motsätter sig "nationalism". Biskopen framförde detta beröm i en intervju med K-TV.org den 15 maj. Han hyllade också Leo XIV:s vilja att konfrontera mäktiga politiska personer och berömde honom för att ha "stått upp mot Trump". "Det imponerar stort på mig", sade biskop Jung. Han tillade: "Jag gläder mig mycket åt detta lugna och eftertänksamma sätt." Han återupplivade också diskussionen om sina favoritämnen: gifta präster ("viri probati"), kvinnans ställning i kyrkan och frågan om lekmän ska kunna få tillstånd att predika - något som redan är vanligt och till och med förväntas i många tyska stift. Biskop Jung identifierade endast ett mindre problem inom den tyska synodala vägen: otillräcklig samordning med Rom. Enligt honom vill de tyska biskoparna nu "ta nästa steg" tillsammans med Vatikanen.

To præster og en subdiakon fra Transalpine Redemptorists er flygtet fra klosterøen Papa Stronsay i Skotland, skriver PressAndJournal.co.uk den 20. maj. De tre har angiveligt koordineret deres afrejse med biskop Hugh Gilbert fra Aberdeen, som forventes at etablere et nyt fællesskab med dem i sit bispedømme. De siges i al hemmelighed at have kontaktet biskoppen ved hjælp af klosterets bærbare computer og forladt øen med båd uden at informere deres overordnede. Planen blev opdaget på den bærbare computer på dagen for deres afrejse. Fader Anthony Mary kritiserede mændene for at tage af sted i al hemmelighed. "De tog af sted med aftenbåden, og vi har ikke hørt noget siden - intet ord, ingen forklaring, intet," sagde han. Han beskyldte også biskop Hugh Gilbert for at have "arbejdet imod os". Fader Michael Mary, grundlægger af Transalpine Redemptorists, sagde, at de tre rejste på grund af "teologiske forskelle". Afgangen kom kort tid efter, at fællesskabet havde offentliggjort et manifest …Meira
