Cotignac Shrines Survive Devastating Wildfire: A major wildfire in southeastern France burned more than 2,500 hectares, destroyed around 60 homes, forced the evacuation of 500 people, and injured four people. Although the flames came within meters of the pilgrimage sites of Our Lady of Graces and Saint Joseph of Cotignac, both sanctuaries were left undamaged, thanks in part to firefighters and vegetation-clearing efforts.
Peruvian priest Ricardo Yesquén Paiva has died at the age of 59 without ever facing a canonical or civil investigation into allegations that he sexually abused a 10-year-old girl in 2006. In September 2024, the Diocese of Chiclayo said Yesquén suffered from a "serious degenerative illness" that left him incapable of defending himself in canonical proceedings. The diocese never identified the illness. The complainants disputed the explanation, pointing to official diocesan records and photographs showing him at public liturgical events through at least early 2023, contradicting claims that he had long ceased exercising ministry. One image from January 2023 shows then-Bishop Robert Prevost - now Pope Leo XIV - celebrating a birthday alongside Yesquén, nearly three years after the first complaint. The case gained international attention because the first complaint against Yesquén reached Bishop Prevost as early as March 2020, while he led the Diocese of Chiclayo. Two Accused Priests, One …Ve

Pornographers-influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate - former webcam entrepreneurs turned pornographers-influencers – were arrested in Miami on July 18 following a provisional extradition request from the United Kingdom. The brothers also remain under criminal investigation in Romania. Allegations include human trafficking, rape, money laundering, and witness tampering. They face a total of 59 charges authorized by the UK's Crown Prosecution Service. They are British-American but have lived in Romania for years. Romanian prosecutors lifted the brothers' travel restrictions in February 2025, allowing them to leave the country. Later that month, they traveled to Florida by private jet. In March, Andrew Tate's then-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, filed a civil lawsuit alleging that he assaulted her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, accusing him of choking her nearly to unconsciousness, beating her, and threatening to kill her. Tate has denied the allegations. The Tates were in Miami to …Ve
A drag queen, speaking at All Saints Episcopal Church San Leandro, explains that Matthew 10 is a prooftext for how Jesus is "structurally against" queer folks being in the closet, and really wants them to come out.
Leo XIV Visits Mountain Sanctuary: Today, Pope Leo XIV made another surprise pilgrimage, visiting the mountainside Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity in Vallepietra. He traveled there by car. The sanctuary, famous for its medieval fresco of the Holy Trinity, lies about 60 miles northeast of Castel Gandolfo in the Simbruini Mountains.

WE TOLD YOU. eng. When Digital ID was first announced, we went out and warned you. Social credit. Control. Surveillance. All part of the same agenda. They fuel the immigration crisis .

Aztec-Inspired Concert "Misa Azteca" at Los Angeles Cathedral: On 27 June, the Cathedral of Los Angeles hosted a performance of the concert 'Misa Azteca', a piece by the composer Joseph Julián González. The production incorporated pagan Mexican musical traditions and featured Nahua poetry and Aztec-inspired dance. The programme began with a ceremonial procession of dancers. Contrary to online claims, the event was not a Eucharist.
This happened on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Apparently Misa Azteca is a unique work that brings together the prayers of the Latin Mass with the rhythms and sounds of indigenous Mexican musical traditions.
A Georgia hairstylist who had donated her eggs received a text from a teen claiming to be her biological daughter. She told her never to contact her again. The teen had originally said, "I don't mean to be a bother, but I think you may be my biological mother. My mom revealed this info to me and I was wondering if you wanted to do a DNA test and possibly get to know me and build a relationship as your daughter." The woman told her she was "not your mother," and called the message a "major breach of privacy." “Egg donation is a confidential, anonymous business transaction. I signed my parental rights away 19 years ago. I am not your mother.” In a follow-up video, the woman admitted to reacting too quickly, and said she would be open to future contact with the teen, though she still said she was not interested in being her mother. "I do understand you're looking for answers. I'm open to a phone conversation so we can both be heard." Though the woman’s original reaction was to deny a …Ve
Leo XIV Promoted This Hopping, Dancing Bishop in Mexico: In January 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Trinidad Antonio Márquez Guerrero, 60, as auxiliary bishop of San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico. He was consecrated a bishop on May 8. On Sunday, July 19, he celebrated a Eucharist during the diocesan Youth Day in the bullring in Yahualica, attended by some 1,300 young people. Still wearing his mitre and liturgical vestments, he started hopping and dancing around like an overexcited young person.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said today that “reports of any deliberation by the judges following the case of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik are absolutely unfounded.” He said the evaluation is still ongoing and the panel is examining documentation from the dioceses involved, the Jesuits, interested parties, and the press. “During the trial, as with any judicial proceeding, no information regarding ongoing activity can be shared in any way, out of respect for the trial itself and to avoid harming anyone involved.” Bruni added that the canonical criminal proceeding “may provide guidance regarding guilt or innocence in accordance with Canon Law,” while Rupnik remains subject to the civil laws and statutes of limitations of the countries where any crimes were allegedly committed. Meanwhile, Laura Sgrò - the lawyer representing five women accusing Rupnik - said the Vatican process has been almost completely opaque. She told the Associated Press that, as of July 2026, her clients had never been …Ve
The Vatican on July 22 denied reports circulating on blogs and social media that Father Marko Rupnik, the former Jesuit accused by several women religious of sexual abuse, had been acquitted.
Netanyahu declared the following: “In the last three years, through joint efforts, we have prevented the destruction of the Third Temple…Together, with the help of God, we will ensure the eternity of Israel.” Netanyahu seems to be equating the “Third Temple” with the State of Israel, which he speaks of as “eternal.”
Several German Catholic dioceses have told De.CatholicNewsAgency.com on July 21 that they have no plans to expand the celebration of the Mass in the Roman rite. The dioceses that replied included the three "conservative" German dioceses Passau, Regensburg, and Cologne and the pro-homosexual Archdiocese of Hamburg. Passau and Cologne offered only brief responses, confirming that no expansion of the Traditional Latin Mass is currently planned. Regensburg Diocese, where the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) operates a seminary, provided a more detailed explanation of its position: "A sufficient number of opportunities to celebrate Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite is an important pastoral response to the sometimes aggressive missionary activity of the Society of St. Pius X and its supporters," diocesan spokesman Stefan Groß said. He added that the FSSPX continues to refuse full communion with the Pope, particularly regarding its understanding of religious freedom …Ve
There are 27 Catholic diocese in Germany and 51 SSPX chapels. It is reasonable to expect expanded diocesen Roman Rite masses would not be well attended.

I recently spoke with a retired scientist who worked for a long time on scientific research in Switzerland, including on DNA matter... When I told him that I believe that the world and humans have not existed for more than approximately 7,000 years (looking at the Holy Scriptures, from all the generations that have descended from Adam and Eve), he said that the discovery of tissue (if I'm not mistaken) in dinosaur bones shook all previous hypotheses about millions of years of existence... Because, as he claims, and I guess every scientist knows well, tissue simply cannot exist for more than a few thousand years. So, there they go, with their stupid Darvinism and even stupid big bang theory. In fact, and I know this firsthand because I lived under such a dictatorship, Darwinism was a kind of unholy scripture of Communism. Therefore, every country, every nation, and every government that teaches children in schools the absurd dogma of millions of years of evolution through Darwinism or …Ve
Two women will jointly lead the Catholic Deanery of Bremen-Nord, Hildesheim Diocese, for the first time, marking a historic shift in church leadership. The decision was announced on July 21. Ute Zeilmann is a theologian and will oversee pastoral ministry and the pastoral staff. Agnes Dobrzynski will lead administration. Both have worked in the Bremen-Nord deanery for several years. To meet canonical requirements, Rev Johannes Pawellek will act as moderating priest, accompanying the new leadership team after his retirement in November 2026. The pastoral team will also be joined by Rev Pradyut Bahla, an Indian priest currently pursuing doctoral studies in Frankfurt. He will serve in Bremen-Nord for five years. The two women want “to embrace the global Church's call to synodality: leading together, listening to the Holy Spirit, and moving away from isolated leadership decisions”. The Diocese of Hildesheim was led by pro-homosexual Bishop Heiner Wilmer until June 2026. He was promoted by …Ve
