Vatican Press Director Under Fire Over Workplace Relationship: SilereNonPossum.com reports that Vatican Press Office Director Matteo Bruni allegedly has a relationship with an employee that “isn’t very clear”. However, one staff member added: “Actually, it’s very clear.” Sources provided chats, videos, and images allegedly showing Bruni with employee Chiara Armenti, including photos of them having drinks and dinner together outside working hours in Rome. Armenti, who has headed the Bulletin for the past year, is said by colleagues to enjoy a “privileged relationship” with Bruni that has “been wearing down the atmosphere in the Press Office for years.” Colleagues further allege that, feeling protected by the director, she has increasingly treated coworkers with condescension and arrogance, including those who had worked in the office long before her arrival.

Rev. Larry Holland, a 79-year-old Catholic priest recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered medical assistance in dying twice by hospital staff. This was despite him making it clear that he is a Catholic priest and is morally opposed to euthanasia.
Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture.

Songs for Saint Disibod [The universal community of the saints was a genuinely felt reality in the lives of Hildegard and her nuns, not only as an example to follow but also as a source of inspiration and a focus of devotion. This was especially true of patron saints of the locality such as Disibod, the seventh-century Irish bishop and hermit who founded a monastery on the summit of the hill that later bore his name. Hildegard spent half her life on the Disibodenberg and must have been highly familiar with its topography. She clearly associated the heights of the mountain with the spiritual stature of the saint to whom she dedicated …མང་བ།
"Consider the One who saw you on the first day, who gave you eyes to see with; who gave you the wings of all creation to fly with. Consider the One who made human beings to be a mirror to the fullness of all his miracles, so that the knowledge of God would shine in them, as it is written: ‘You are gods and all of you are sons of the most high’. May he look upon you, and direct you to his will."
On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text: "There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.' What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter? Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions? Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …མང་བ།
Robert Prevost maliciously trampled upon the male priesthood and the papacy—instituted by Christ—while wearing the mask of so-called "ecumenical dialogue." Saint Alphonsus Liguori teaches that when a priest sins, he does so out of malice, and his sin is equivalent to that of the apostate angels. Furthermore, this approach is unbiblical; for, while Jesus commanded us to go forth and preach the Good News of the Gospel, He did not instruct us to persist in pleading with obstinate heretics. Regarding the heretic, Scripture tells us that, after two admonitions, we must turn away from him, for he is perverted and stands condemned by his own rejection of the Gospel. He has rejected the Holy Spirit. What Jesus taught us is that if someone does not receive the Gospel of Christ, we must shake the dust from our feet; for obstinacy is a sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit—it is a rejection of the Grace that God offers to those willing to repent and amend their ways, not to those who defy God. …མང་བ།
The Transalpine Redemptorist community has proclaimed itself sedevacantist. In a letter dated 2 May, they wrote: "The pre-Vatican II popes condemned indifferentism as a deadly heresy. The post-Vatican II claimants to the papacy have embraced it, promoted it and acted upon it." The group has three monasteries. The community's mother house is located in Papa Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland. They also have a house in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand, and a pioneer community in the Diocese of Great Falls–Billings, Montana, USA. In 2008, they broke away from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X in order to obtain regularisation from the Vatican, they were then invited by diocesan bishops to establish priories in New Zealand and Montana. Critics accuse the community of fostering a personality cult surrounding the two leading priests. In their new letter, signed by all the members, they state that "the modernist presence within the structures and hierarchy of the official Church has gone …མང་བ།

The homosexual sect led by Prevost mocks Christ. But the moment will come for the apostate Robert Prevost—who encourages obstinate, blasphemous apostates—when he will pay for his betrayal. Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs (male prostitutes and unfaithful leaders), those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
The Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage in the Roman Rite will take place from October 23 to 25 in Rome. There is conflicting reporting about whether a Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 24, in Saint Peter’s Basilica, similar to the one in 2025 celebrated by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. The official program on Summorum-Pontificum.org for the 2026 pilgrimage lists a Pontifical Mass at the Altar of the Chair in Saint Peter’s Basilica. However, the president of Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce, Joseph Shaw, denied the report on X on May 2, writing: “I am told by the organisers that this is not true. Please pray that it will become true.” #newsKffszvvztk
Sat May 2, 2026 - 10:16 am EDTSat May 2, 2026 - 2:03 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, a traditionalist Catholic congregation based on Papa Stronsay in Scotland, have issued a declaration denouncing Paul VI through to Leo XIV as “papal pretenders”, and condemning the reforms of the Second Vatican Council as having “brought about a major schism from the Mystical Body.” The community – often called the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – was founded by Father Michael Mary Sim in 1987 under the auspices of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X, at the encouragement of Cardinal Édouard Gagnon. It was reconciled with the Vatican in 2012 and has operations in the U.S. and New Zealand. The letter attached to the declaration explains the community’s position regarding the state of the Church following Vatican II, detailing the prior teaching of the Church and arguing that there has been a significant departure from it. “If the See of Peter were to …
Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure. InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post." Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese. Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007. He has been a Russian citizen since 2011. In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states. Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity …མང་བ།
A careful examination of this graphic, in and of itself, lends to the notion that this is itself little more than rough propaganda. For example, OFAC and the U.S. State Department are referred to (without any direct citations) as if they are legitimate sources of truthful information. I'm a bit disappointed.

Leo XIV is set to sign his first encyclical on May 15, according to the German news agency KNA. The working title is Magnifica humanitas. Reports suggest, the encyclical will address expected to address issues including artificial intelligence, peace, the crisis of international law, and other contemporary threats facing humanity. The May 15 date would place Leo XIV’s first encyclical in the tradition of the Church’s great social teachings: • 15 May 1891: Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII - foundational text of modern Catholic social teaching. • 15 May 1931: Quadragesimo anno by Pope Pius XI - developed subsidiarity and social doctrine further. • 15 May 1961: Mater et magistra by Pope John XXIII - focused on labor and economic justice.
