Since legalising euthanasia in 2016, Canada has recorded about 95,000 deaths under the Medical Assistance in Dying programme (MAiD). Starting in 2027, the programme is set to expand further to include people suffering from mental illness. Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto has appealed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Members of Parliament to block the expansion. He warned of the pressure vulnerable individuals could face, adding: "A society is rightly judged by how it cares for its most vulnerable members."
Cardinal Frank Leo, the metropolitan archbishop of Toronto yesterday sent a letter "to Prime Minister Carney and all federal Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Archdiocese of Toronto asking for their support of Bill C-218 and decrying the rapid expansion of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Bill C-218 is a private members’ bill currently before Parliament that would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027." The terrible law itself needs to be stopped. Since euthanasia was legalized in Canada in 2016, over 20,000 Canadians have been killed. Abortion kills 100,000 unborn babies each year, all paid for by Canada Health. Did you know that the yearly number of deaths in Canada will soon surpass the number of births? There is no future of any kind in that coming …

22.04.2025 SALVINI’S MILAN MEETING HAMPERED BY RATZINGER’S SECRET: NO BISHOP PARTICIPATED With Vatican Council II rational and traditional the mainline Catholic Church is conservative once again. With Vatican Council II rational the Church is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. So Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church would be fundamentalist for the political Left. Vatican Council II rational and ecclesiocentric was no known to the popes. This was part of Ratzinger’s Secret. With LG 16 invisible, Ratzinger, Rahner, Balthazar, Congar, Lubac, Kung and Pope Paul VI were in schism when they chose LG 16 visible to interpret the Council. Participants at the Milan meeting must appeal to Pope Leo to simply announce that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to hypothetical and invisible cases only in 2026. The Council then supports conservative social values. No Cardinal or Bishop participated in Matteo Salvini’s meeting in Milan the other day because …More
The characteristics of the created, evil spirit of the devil ~ "The second spirit that is created also has three characteristics. He is burning, bitter, and unclean. First, he is burning and consuming like fire, for he completely enkindles the soul he possesses with the fire of lust and evil desire, so that the soul that is filled by him can neither think nor desire anything other than fulfilling this desire; and the consequence of this is that her temporal life is sometimes lost along with all honor and consolation. Second, he is bitter as gall, since he so inflames the soul with his evil lust, that future joys seem like nothing to her and eternal goods but foolishness. And all the things that are of God and which she, the soul, is obligated to do for God, become as bitter and despicable to her as vomit and gall. Third, he is unclean, since he makes the soul so vile and inclined to sin that she does not feel ashamed for any sin, and she would not abstain from any sin, if she did not …More
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 54 ~ The words of an angel to the bride about whether the spirit of her thoughts is good or bad, and about how there are two spirits, one uncreated and one created, and about their characteristics. A holy angel spoke to the bride and said: “There are two spirits, one uncreated and one created. The uncreated Spirit has three characteristics: First, he is hot; second, sweet; and third, pure. First, he gives off warmth, and his warmth does not come from created things but from himself, since he, together with the Father and the Son, is Creator of all things and Almighty. He gives off warmth when the whole soul burns for the love of God. Second, he is sweet, when nothing pleases the soul and nothing delights it but God and the recollection of his deeds. Third, he is so pure that no sin can be found in him, nor any …More
"But what should the one who is full of the devil do, since the good Spirit cannot enter him who is full of evil? He should do three things: First, he should make a pure and complete confession of his sins. Even if he cannot directly feel a complete remorse for his sins due to his hardened heart, still the confession will benefit him so much that the devil ceases with his treachery and yields to the good spirit. Second, he should be humble and wish to amend for all the sins he has committed and do the good deeds he can, and then the devil will begin to leave. Third, he should beseech God with humble prayer in order that he may get the good Spirit back and have contrition for the sins he has committed along with true divine love, since the love for God kills the devil. This devil is so envious and full of malice that he would rather die a hundred times than see someone do God the least little good deed out of love.”
Several anonymous cardinals and curial officials told the Substack.com account The Pillar on April 17 that they do not expect any resolution to the question of the Mass in the Roman rite in the near future. Some Catholics had hoped the next extraordinary consistory of cardinals on June 26–27 would address the liturgical issue. Instead, Leo XIV chose to focus on Francis' document Evangelii Gaudium. One Vatican official said that Leo XIV was not very familiar with traditional communities or even the traditional liturgy, and that his primary concern was not liturgy but whether members of those communities accept the Second Vatican Council. As early as June 2025, the best friend of Leo XIV, Alejandro Moral, Prior General of the Augustinians, had already ruled out any return of the older form of the Mass under his pontificate. #newsVdgrmnvwkv
Paul VI killed the Old Mass; JP II gave it a tiny life; Benedict opened it up greatly, saying it had never really been officially done away with; Francis tried to kill it; Leo seems happy with Francis's decision. Zigzag, zigzag, what is the layman to think? "Officer, the light was green when I went through it." "Well, it's red now and you are in trouble." Why should the laity respect the governance of the Church?
Following Pope Francis’ Fiducia Supplicans, Cardinal Reinhard Marx has introduced heterodox guidelines for the “blessing” of homosexual and other “couples” in sinful relationships in his archdiocese. According to a report by Die Tagespost, Marx has called on priests and full-time staff in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising to implement the controversial guidelines “Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft,” which allows the “blessing” of homosexuals, as well as other “couples” who cannot enter into sacramental marriage, like the divorced and civilly “remarried” and even “couples” “of all gender identities and sexual orientations.” The guidelines are to become the “foundation of pastoral care,” Marx wrote in an internal letter seen by Die Tagespost. The cardinal ordered the guidelines to be published in parishes and said the “theological meaning” of the controversial text is to be explained to all “who still struggle with this blessing.” According to Marx, the guidelines make it …
" Wherefore, when the soul knows herself, as we have said above, she finds humility and hatred of her own sensual passion, for she learns the perverse law, which is bound up in her members, and which ever fights against the spirit. And, therefore, arising with hatred of her own sensuality, crushing it under the heel of reason, with great earnestness, she discovers in herself the bounty of My goodness, through the many benefits which she has received from Me, all of which she considers again in herself.She attributes to Me, through humility, the knowledge which she has obtained of herself, knowing that, by My grace, I have drawn her out of darkness and lifted her up into the light of true knowledge. When she has recognised My goodness, she loves it without any medium, and yet at the same time with a medium, that is to say, without the medium of herself or of any advantage accruing to herself, and with the medium of virtue, which she has conceived through love of Me, because she sees that …More
[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; Siena, Republic of Siena/Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] ‘How virtues are accomplished by means of our neighbour and how it is that virtues differ to such an extent in creatures.’ " I have told thee how all sins are accomplished by means of thy neighbour, through the principles which I exposed to thee, that is, because men are deprived of the affection of love, which gives light to every virtue. In the same way self-love, which destroys charity and affection towards the neighbour, is the principle and foundation of every evil. All scandals, hatred, cruelty, and every sort of trouble proceed from this perverse root of self-love, which has poisoned the entire world, and weakened the mystical body of the Holy Church, and the universal body of the believers in the Christian religion ; and, therefore, I said to thee, that it was in the neighbour, that is to say in the …More

"TRUE OBEDIENCE The fourth virtue is true obedience, when a man in his life does not do anything neither in thinking, nor speaking, nor acting according to his own will and inclination but according to the divine will and ordination, such a one is a sheep of Christ. Reason: For already you see how sheep are obedient to the shepherd. For a boy or girl with a small staff can easily guide thirty or forty sheep; it is otherwise with goats or kids, because a shepherd is needed for each one. If therefore on the day of judgment you wish to be a sheep of Christ, you will be obedient to the shepherd, namely to him who said: "I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me," (Jn 10:14)."

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand Mt 25:33 For the explanation of this text, approaching the material to be preached, you should …More
"And note here the example of the squire who confessed in a stable who covers his sins with confession, you understand with the tail of penance. For thus he covers sin, so the devil will not remember. And it is no wonder then if they are forgotten by the devil, because they are also forgotten by God. Authority: "But if the wicked does penance for all his sins which he has committed, and keeps all my commandments, and does judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die. I will not remember all his iniquities that he has done," (Ez 18:21-22). So David says in Psalm 31: "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered," (Ps 31:1), namely, by the tail of penance."
In June, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X will announce the names of the future bishops to be consecrated on 1 July in Ecône, Switzerland. Father Kevin M.
