The Catholic Women's Community of Germany (kfd) has called for abortions to be permitted in Catholic hospitals, adopting the position at its federal assembly in Mainz last weekend. Delegates approved by a large majority an eleven-page policy paper titled "Between the Protection of Life and Self-Determination: The kfd's Positions and Perspectives on Section 218 of the German Criminal Code." The document states that "pregnancy terminations must also be possible in Catholic hospitals," claiming that the current lack of access endangers the physical and mental health of mothers with unintended pregnancies. The paper also criticizes what it describes as "fundamentalist and anti-democratic" influences in the abortion debate and warns against uncritical support for pro-life groups such as the "March for Life" movement. The kfd, which says it has around 265,000 Catholic members , additionally advocates free contraceptives, more sexual education structures in dioceses, and health insurance …Ibindi

Essay by Phil Lawler arguing that the fact that the Secretariat of State is the most powerful office of the Vatican thwarts efforts for reform. Because of its focus on relations with the world’s governments, tends to give primary attention to worldly rather than the pastoral concerns - as seen in the "ostpolitik" approach to relations with China, Muslim regimes, South American Marxist states, etc.
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jun 11, 2026 For 30 years or more, in nearly everything I have written, I have sought to drive home a few key themes: The Catholic Church is in the midst of a serious crisis; That crisis is not merely a matter of sexual abuse, or declining Mass attendance, or doctrinal dissent, or financial collapse, or corrupt leadership, or marital breakdown. These are all symptoms of a deeper problem: a crisis of faith. A crisis of faith cannot be resolved by professional programs or administrative procedures. It will require a spiritual renewal at the level of dioceses, parishes, even households. So why am I writing today to recommend an administrative change at the Vatican? Because any administrative system rewards certain attitudes, certain instincts, certain modes of understanding situations, certain likely responses. And the current administrative structure of the Roman Curia favors a way of thought that gives priority to worldly rather than spiritual …
Austria's Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) runs a Sacred Heart campaign with 45 advertising displays nationwide, including 23 in Vienna, Austria.

Same as in Germany: French singer Julie Zenatti is scheduled to perform on June 13 at Saint Bernadette Church in Dijon as part of a tour promoting her album Le Chemin ("The Path"). Zenatti has been singing in churches across France for several months and has spoken positively about the atmosphere of these sacred places. In a May 2025 radio interview available on Youtube, she was described as "not a believer," a characterization she did not dispute. Her family background is Jewish. Churches are "a place that is absolutely unfamiliar to me." For her music, it does not matter "whether one believes or not." When she told a collaborator that she wanted to make an album about "spirituality," he replied: " Julie, I've got it—it's pagan," she recounted. The abuse of churches for anti-Catholic events is systemic in France. During the Nuit Blanche events in Paris on June 6, there were, among other installations, satanic noises in churches and a masturbating figure. #newsWvnvkrgjeo
Churches in France belong to the freemasonic & deviant Republic not to the Church. That is the key problem. Nuit Blanche was the event organized by the city of Paris not the Church.
Same as in Germany: A parish in Milan's Baggio district, Italy, will provide space for Islamic prayer during its 2026 summer youth programme. This initiative is part of the 'Summer Oratory' (Oratorio Estivo) programme at San Giovanni Bosco parish. According to the parish priest, Don Giovanni Salatino, several Muslim young people will serve as camp animators. In his view, providing them with a space for prayer is a gesture of respect and inclusion. He also stated that Christians and Muslims pray to the same God. The Archdiocese of Milan has supported the initiative on its website, describing the camp as “inclusive and open to dialogue”. #newsWpdsifzegg
I will also leave another short video which each video shown has a longer version to each of them. A young inventor gets the chance of a lifetime. During a technology exhibition, a young boy proudly showed Vladimir Putin a robot he had designed and built himself. With excitement in his voice, he demonstrated the robot's abilities and explained how it worked. Putin listened carefully, asked questions, and encouraged the young creator to keep learning and innovating. For the boy, it wasn't just a presentation — it was a chance to share his dream with the President of Russia. Moments like these remind us that every great invention starts with curiosity. I don't know nor understand how he is all over Russia. Checking all sorts of things in all area's. Being with so many children. Whether in orphanages, schools, universities, infrastructure and everything in between. And still keep the great country of Russia prospering. I enjoy how he spends a lot of time with the children teaching …Ibindi
A group of Polish Catholics led by Artur Dąbrowski, president of Catholic Action of the Archdiocese of Częstochowa, has issued an open letter criticizing the Synod on Synodality. The letter expresses concern over both the report of Study Group No. 9 (2026) and the Final Document of the Synod on Synodality (2024). The authors describe the Synod's Final Document as “deeply anti-Catholic,” arguing that it risks replacing the Church's unchanging Deposit of Faith with an ideology centered on inclusion, consensus, and process. The Synod adopts elements similar to Germany's Synodal Path, particularly through the relativization of doctrine and the decentralization of authority. Particular criticism is directed at the description of synodality as a “constitutive dimension” of the Church. The authors argue that this undermines the traditional understanding of the Church as defined by its marks of unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity. The letter also challenges the synodal methodology …Ibindi

Today, Pope Leo XIV travelled to Spain's Canary Islands, one of Europe's migration hotspots, to deliver a highly emotional and moralizing address. He met at the port with NGOs and organizations who de facto practice human trafficking. The pope spread their stories that they “had saved some 20,000 migrants”. Leo XIV dropped a wreath of flowers into the sea in tribute to the African migrants who had died while trying to enter the European Union. In what he called an "appeal to the conscience" of politicians, he said that "human dignity has no passport and does not lose its value when crossing a border." He warned “growing accustomed to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic becoming unmarked graves”. Leo XIV also said: "Dear migrants, before saying anything else to you, I want to bow before your dignity. You are not just numbers or files. You are people who have left behind families and homes. You have dreams that no one has the right to despise." He also challenged “the Church”: “Welcoming …Ibindi
12. In preparation for the fall the Soviets put the Russian speaking regions of Donbass and Crimea within the boundaries of Ukraine, so they could have an excuse to re-invade when these Russia people felt threatened. The Soviets also forced hundreds of thousands of Russians to immigrate to the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania for the same reason. They are still there and we will see them used as an excuse to invade someday too. Joel Skousen World Affairs Brief
A partial indulgence is granted to those who recite An Act of Reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is publicly recited on the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. This prayer was prescribed to be recited on this feast by Pope Pius XI. Most sweet Jesus, whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thee, eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject. Mindful, alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation, not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the promises …Ibindi

Other than supporting access to abortion, the group also called for free access to contraceptives and health insurance coverage for abortion. The Catholic Church has categorically condemned both abortion and the use of contraception. Additionally, the group has called for ordaining women to the priesthood and passed a resolution …
T.F.P. meets with problems by Miguel Martinez TFP ("Tradition Family and Property") considers itself to be engaged in a mortal conflict with the Left. It consequently tends to depict any trouble it may get into, simply as the violent reaction of the "Revolution" against its heroic opponents, a notion which Introvigne has translated into the fiction of the "anti-cult movement". Actually, opposition to T.F.P. has come mostly from parents of T.F.P. members, themselves usually Catholic traditionalists, and from conservative and traditionalist Catholic quarters. There are several reasons for this. In the first place, outside of Latin America, TFP generally keeps a low profile or operates through front organizations which the left usually does not understand. Skinhead-scalpers will turn elsewhere when they find a group like TFP whose writings are difficult to read, which is generally unobtrusive, and was founded by a man who sympathized for the British conservatives during the War (so much …
