The Vatican appeals court has declared the trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu invalid, overturning his 2023 conviction and ordering a full retrial to begin June 22. In a 16-page ruling, the court found on Tuesday procedural errors by both prosecutors and Pope Francis. It did not rule on Cardinal Becciu’s guilt or innocence, but concluded the original proceedings were flawed. The indictment was nullified for two main reasons. First, Francis issued four secret decrees granting prosecutors expanded powers, including surveillance. These decrees were never published and were disclosed to the defense only shortly before trial. The court ruled that at least one decree effectively functioned as law and, because it was not made public, was legally invalid. Second, prosecutors were found to have withheld and redacted key evidence, including phone records and messages. The court said this violated the defendants’ right to a fair trial. The ruling is historic, because it raises questions about the …ပိုမို
The Blessed Virgin Mary was "matched" by the priests of the Temple to St. Joseph when she was approximately fourteen years of age. This is perfectly in accord with Divine Natural Law. This was the most common practice of marriage until the modern feminist era.
Scott covers a lot of things in the first video. I watched the first video and I didn't hear anything bad coming out of his mouth. The second one was a day ago and I am sorry, I can't remember if he says anything bad. Just beware that sometimes, he does that out of no where. Scott Ritter: RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE v. U.S. INTELLIGENCE Scott Ritter argues that Ukraine is experiencing a broader national collapse—not just militarily, but politically, economically, and socially. They claim President Volodymyr Zelenskyy faces a political crisis with rival figures allegedly backed by Western powers, while corruption among Ukrainian elites is described as widespread. On the battlefield, the speaker says Ukraine is struggling to replace heavy losses and must rely on forced conscription, while Russia supposedly has more volunteers than casualties. They claim Russian casualties are under 200,000 and argue that Russia holds major advantages in manpower, reserves, and defense production. Geopolitically …ပိုမို
The late Cardinal Johannes Joachim Degenhardt (1926–2002), Archbishop of Paderborn, has been portrayed as a perpetrator of child homosexual abuse in many German media outlets, ranging from state television to the tabloid Bild. Some reports have even suggested that he was part of a so-called 'pedocriminal network'. However, the 747-page historical study commissioned by the Archdiocese of Paderborn and published on 12 March shows that these claims are not supported by the study. Where the Allegations Originated The accusations originated from Reinhold Harnisch, the spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Paderborn's "victims' advisory board". Harnisch claimed that Degenhardt had been part of a paedophile ring and that boys were transported between clergy. Study Finds No Evidence of Personal Abuse While the study is highly critical of the church leadership, including Cardinal Degenhardt, it found no evidence of personal abuse. It documents delayed or inadequate responses to allegations, the …ပိုမို
Reforms of Opus Dei may well be needed, I wouldn’t know, but this guy is using his campaign against them in part to push an anti-Catholic agenda. I heard he is even a pro-abort.
Today, Pope Leo XIV received Gareth Gore in audience. Gore is a British financial journalist who has attacked Opus Dei in recent years. Since his election, Leo XIV has met with the leadership of Opus Dei twice to discuss the revision of their statutes. Opus Dei as "Abusive Cult" Gore's most notable book is Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church (2024). He presents a caricature of Opus Dei, claiming that the organisation has built its influence through networks of members in business and finance, including figures linked to Banco Popular Español. He speaks of an "abusive cult". Gore describes a strict internal discipline and secrecy, and alleges that Opus Dei engages in coercive recruitment and exploitation. He invents that some assistants (women who perform domestic work in Opus Dei centres) are victims of human trafficking.

In addition to approximately 1,400 Iranian casualties, the aggression against Iran has already claimed more than 560 US military casualties. According to the IRGC, 560 US soldiers have been killed and wounded in strikes on US bases in the region, and the attacks continue. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the deaths and injuries of at least 560 US soldiers as a result of a series of Iranian attacks on US bases in the Middle East. The IRGC statement, published by the Fars news agency, said that US forces in Bahrain were attacked with two ballistic missiles, while other bases were repeatedly attacked, resulting in numerous casualties among US soldiers, RIA Novosti reports. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, in turn, stressed that Iran has no intention of attacking countries in the region, but is attacking exclusively US bases, which it considers US territory. He also assured that the attacks would continue as long as these facilities …ပိုမို

The integration of millions of Muslim immigrants into Europe is impossible and would change the culture, provoking civil wars, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EuropeanConservative.com on March 15: "In almost all Muslim countries, Christian communities are oppressed." Politicians and citizens must decide whether they want to be marginalised in their own countries, he said, mentioning an increase in attacks against churches and Christian values. "But it is also our fault," he added, suggesting that immigration is related to falling birth rates. "I remember when I was young, there was harsh politics against the family, matrimony and children. This demographic catastrophe is man-made. Like in China with their stupid one-child policy." Cardinal Müller notes that anti-familial forces have been unleashed upon the population. "It’s a natural feeling to want children if you are married," he said. "It’s against nature and against grace not to." "The state is only there for the common good and …ပိုမို

Book of Ezekiel 47,1-9.12. The angel brought me, Ezekiel, back to the entrance of the temple of the LORD, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the façade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side. Then when he had walked off to the east with a measuring cord in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and had me wade through the water, which was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand and once more had me wade through the water, which was now knee-deep. Again he measured off a thousand and had me wade; the water was up to my waist. Once more he measured off a thousand, but there was now a river through which I could not wade; for the water had risen so high it had become a river that could not be crossed except by swimming.

French born Rev Jakob Rolland, chancellor of the Diocese of Reykjavik, Iceland, told the state television Ruv.is the Church's teaching on homosexual acts. On March 5, police announced it examines the remarks and assess whether there is reason to begin an investigation. Like most priests in nominally Lutheran Iceland, Rev Rolland is a missionary. He has lived in Iceland for decades and has even changed his first name to make it more Icelandic — "no one here could say 'Jacques'". The collapsed Protestantism has arguably been replaced by the state religion of "LGBT+ advocacy". In the interview, Rev. Rolland responded affirmatively when asked if the Church hopes homosexuals will change over time, adding that it provides them with support: “That is what is very much lacking in modern society. Someone who wants to leave such a lifestyle receives no assistance.” Homosexuals who seek help from a priest of the Catholic Church “cannot find” psychologists or social workers to help them.

One is reminded of lawsuits brought on behalf of children who were given sex reassignment therapies and surgeries against the doctors who recommended or performed those procedures. Now years later they bitterly regret the physical and mental anguish they endure. Their wish is that they had recieved better counsel. Those professionals acted against their better judgement--surely they knew better--but were themselves pressured to go along with the current of the day. To prohibit this Priest from advising against acts and a way of living that can bring great unhappiness into someone's life is an act of craven elitism.

Araghchi replied that they would remain safe if the United States and Israel do not attack Iranian prisons. His answer quickly spread online because of its blunt tone.

I like this man. I have seen interviews with him. Why do our leaders always go out of their way to make us hate people? Because people are so easily duped and brainwashed. And they are full of fear and or hate. Those same people who do that know full well they lie. People don't realize it but they are fully controlled that way and easily manipulated. The only thing I can suggest if you still listen to your governments and fake news and even conservative news, because they lie as well, just do your own research. Go right to the source. The people and countries they condemn. You will find NONE Of it is true. They edit everything and won't tell you the truth because they know people will take their word and won't look into it.
Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht celebrated his first public Mass in the Roman rite on Sunday at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (known as the Grote Kerk) in Oss, the Netherlands. In his homily (video below), he spoke about the Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Cardinal Eijk recounted an example from the 1950s in the Netherlands. A priest teaching religion at a Catholic school told students that the multiplication of the loaves should not be taken literally, since such a miracle would be impossible. Instead, he explained it as a moral story: people shared the food they already had because they were inspired by Jesus’ preaching about love. Eijk added that this kind of denial destroyed the faith of many Catholics. He recalled that in the 1950s and 1960s the once-strong Church in the Netherlands collapsed, identifying one of the causes as poor preaching by clergy who themselves undermined belief. According to him, the faith of once-convinced Catholics was “…ပိုမို
"The miraculous multiplication of the loaves was indeed performed by Jesus. (...) God created the universe ex nihilo. If He possessed the power to achieve that, then He is surely capable of multiplying bread in a miraculous manner" (Willem Jacobus Cardinal Eijk)
