Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump. Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, currently auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington, is the new bishop of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia. He is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk. Furthermore, Leo XIV elevated the prelates Gary Studniewski, 68, and Robert Boxie, 45, as new auxiliary bishops for Washington Archdiocese. Cardinal McElroy of Washington is one of the strongest pro-homosexual infiltrators. He publicly defended Fiducia Supplicans and said U.S. opposition focused on homosexual blessings reflected “enduring animus” toward homosexuals. His Archdiocese of Washington spans Washington, D.C., and surrounding Maryland communities, placing its bishops in regular contact with policymakers, diplomats and national media. With Menjivar, Boxie and Studniewski, Leo XIV has again reinforced a leadership group …بیشتر
Being a “critic” of DJT is a good thing….a very good thing. These newly appointed Bishops may have other dire issues but in this area they’re right on target.

A veteran of World War II who flew combat missions aboard bombers before entering the priesthood, Gracida later served as Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee and then as Bishop of Corpus Christi, Texas, from 1983 to 1997.

Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration joked about prosecuting Catholic nuns who attended a pro-Trump rally, according to text messages released by Senator Chuck Grassley and reported by DailyWire.com on April 29. Prosecutor Molly Gaston wrote after viewing a photo of nuns wearing habits at the rally: “I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them.” Prosecutor Joseph Cooney replied, “I’m with you,” adding that he would like to prosecute “any nun who still wears the head habit.” Grassley obtained the messages during an investigation into Justice Department conduct and condemned the remarks as evidence of bias against religious Americans. #newsHtiwujinop
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived. She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived. “Take me in, oh tender woman , “Take me in, for heaven’s sake, “Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake. Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried. “But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died.” Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight . But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite. …“I saved you,” cried that woman. “And you've bit me even, why? “You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die.” “Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin, “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”

The nun, who is a researcher at the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem, was thrown to the ground and sustained head injuries. A 36-year-old suspect was arrested on the same day.

The posessed act this way, this is not a case of just a man being "mental", this is posession, look how a man passes by and did nothing to protect her so the attacker did nothingto him... BUT a samaritan rushed and the posessed attacked him once he tries to protect her. Yes, the sun cannot be blocked by my or anyone's finger, both Jews and muslims are taught to hate outside of their religions since birth, AND our Lord warned us, they don’t hate you, as they hated Him first. After seeing this, did you developed hate in your heart? The lesson here is, despite the hate, we should Love, despite the anger, you should give your other cheek, despite the impotence you should continue carry your cross, there will be a time for action, as this didn’t happen in front of us, but if it did, you should be samaritans and not pharisees. Pray for those who protect and those who endure theur crosses well, pray for our clergy and religious, asthey swore to drink the chalice of suffering, this for this …بیشتر

The United States Department of Justice released on April 30 a 548-page report on how the Biden administration targeted believing Christians, including traditional Catholics. The report concludes that the Biden administration “zealously pursued actions to limit Christians’ ability to act in accordance with their faith,” particularly those holding traditional biblical views on abortion, sexuality, and gender. Among the report’s findings is that the FBI’s Richmond Field Office treated traditional Catholics as potential extremists, including churches associated with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. The FBI expanded its scrutiny after interviewing Xavier Louis Lopez, a self-described “radical traditional Catholic Clerical Fascist” convicted of possessing destructive devices. Agents opened a formal law-enforcement “Guardian profile” on his church and interviewed his priest, despite the parish having no involvement in his crimes. Agents also tracked the priest’s jail visits to Lopez …بیشتر

Despite originally being announced as one of the event’s featured attractions, Portuguese priest and DJ Guilherme Peixoto will no longer perform at the opening-night concert of Rouen’s 2026 Jeanne d’Arc celebrations on 14 May. The Archdiocese of Rouen, France, said that Padre Guilherme had requested to postpone his appearance. This followed public criticism of his inclusion in the festival programme. Critics questioned the appropriateness of a priest performing electronic music during celebrations dedicated to Joan of Arc. He will be replaced by French DJ Charles B, who will be accompanied by a local opening act. Unlike Padre Guilherme, the replacement performers are not clergy and their performance is not framed by religion. Picture: Padre Guilherme, #newsJkmrzqlodl
The Archdiocese of Rouen cancelled a scheduled performance by a well-known Portuguese DJ priest at its Joan of Arc celebrations amid mounting criticism.
Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote to Pope Leo XIV about widespread homosexuality among priests and its significance in the abuse crisis in the Church. He mentioned this on Marian-Eleganti.ch on April 24: "All church studies on abuse show a disproportionately high number of male victims. It does little good to turn a blind eye to this." He also drew attention to the numerous cases of sexual abuse occurring outside the Church, emphasising that society is primarily focused on and scandalised by those within the clergy. #newsZltfzndgfn
In one or another way, Prevost is part of the problem. So you should ask others that question. Perhaps at a session of an imperfect council that you should have convened a long time ago and still need to and should convene. The sooner the better.
کاردینال بالتازار انریکه پوراس کاردوزو، اسقف بازنشسته کاراکاس، در دهم دسامبر از خروج از ونزوئلا ممانعت شد. مقامات فرودگاه بینالمللی سیمون بولیوار گذرنامه او را در حالی که آماده سوار شدن به پروازی به مقصد مادرید بود، باطل کردند. مقامات به او اطلاع دادند که تحت ممنوعیت سفر قرار دارد، گذرنامهاش را ضبط کردند و او را حدود دو ساعت بازداشت کردند و سپس به محل اقامتش بازگرداندند. حتی برای رفتن به دستشویی نیز همراهی میشد. مقامات دلیل این اقدام را «عدم رعایت مقررات سفر» عنوان کردند و از کاردینال پوراس خواستند سندی را امضا کند که تأیید میکرد او نمیتواند سفر کند. این کاردینال گزارش داد که وقتی تلاش کرد از سند عکس بگیرد، با بازداشت تهدید شد. او همچنین گفت که یک افسر به او گفته بود در سیستم دولتی به عنوان «متوفی» ثبت شده است، که این موضوع برای توجیه لغو گذرنامه به کار گرفته شد. این حادثه در پی تنش فزاینده بین دولت ونزوئلا و کلیسا رخ داده است. هفتهها پیش، کاردینال پوراس وضعیت در ونزوئلا را «از نظر اخلاقی غیرقابل قبول» توصیف کرده و به فساد، سرکوب و فقر گسترده اشاره کرده بود. در ماه اکتبر، او همچنین …بیشتر
Among Benedictines, the Roman Rite and the Novus Ordo coexist very peacefully side by side, said Abbot Primate Jeremias Schröder, a German Benedictine, in an interview with KNA on 30 April. Throughout the order, there are around ten abbeys that celebrate the old rite, mostly in France. The majority belong to the Congregation of Solesmes. Fontgombault Abbey was the first of a group of monasteries that celebrate according to the old rite and they are fully integrated into the Solesmes congregation. Most monasteries in that congregation use the Novus Ordo. In addition, there is Le Barroux Abbey and its daughter foundations, which were initially oriented towards the Lefebvrist movement. Following the episcopal consecrations in 1988, the monastery returned to full communion with Rome is now under the authority of Abbot Schröder. He also mentioned the community in Norcia, Italy (pictured). Novus Ordo in Fontgombault Abbot Schröder summarised: "We all treat one another with respect. As Abbot …بیشتر
Erdogan warnte, dass trotz der Warnungen Ankaras weiterhin „äußerst fehlerhafte und provokative Schritte“ unternommen würden, die die Freundschaft zwischen der Türkei und dem Iran gefährdeten.

Erdogan drohte dem Iran „nicht auf diesem Fehler zu beharren und keine Sturheit an den Tag zu legen”. #Iran#Türkei Verpasse nichts! Abonniere hier: @MilitaerNews
The church Saint-Cyriaque in Montenach, France, was severely damaged by fire on April 30. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No injuries were reported.
L’église Saint-Cyriaque de Montenach a été gravement endommagée par un incendie le 30 avril 2026. Le feu, probablement parti d’une zone végétalisée voisine, s’est propagé à la toiture sous l’effet du vent, détruisant une grande partie de la charpente et provoquant l’effondrement partiel du clocher. Aucun blessé n’est à déplorer. Les causes exactes restent à déterminer.
This is exactly what Vatican Is doing to our Chruch! And almost no one cares. Our Church is burning down and our bishops and cardinals are hiding, don't care or are aiding the fire
ترجمه به زبان فارسی پیامی به مسلمانان نیکخواه و با امیدی استوار به آزادی واقعی. مسیح در انتظار توست و تو با تجربه شخصی خود، ریشهدار بودن معنا و ارزش ایمان مسیحی را خواهی دید. شجاع باش و نترس؛ عیسی، خدای راستین و انسان کامل، با توست. «همه چیز برای تو، ای قلب مقدس عیسی» نکته: گزارشهای مختلف از نهادهای مسیحی حاکی از آن است که نزدیک به ۵۰,۰۰۰ مسجد از حدود ۷۵,۰۰۰ مسجد در ایران در سالهای اخیر از فعالیت بازماندهاند یا عملاً خالی هستند، که عمدتاً به دلیل کاهش شدید حضور مردم است. بحران اقتصادی، سرکوب رژیم و تحمیل سختگیرانه قوانین اسلامی باعث ناامیدی عمیق در میان مردم شده است، به ویژه پس از خشونتهای اعمال شده علیه زنانی که علیه قوانین حجاب دست به اعتراض زدند. در میان این فضای ناامیدی، شمار فزایندهای از ایرانیان — که برخی برآوردها تعداد آنها را بین صدها هزار تا سه میلیون نفر تخمین میزنند — در حال یافتن امیدی تازه در عیسی مسیح هستند. بسیاری از آنها از رویاروییهای شخصی با عیسی از طریق رؤیاها و خوابها سخن میگویند؛ تجربیاتی که آنها را واقعی، عمیق و تحولآفرین توصیف میکنند. این دیدارهای …بیشتر
