Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Joseph de Metz-Noblat as the Bishop of Verdun in France. Born on 6 February 1959 in Cherbourg, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology. He obtained a licentiate in canon law from the Institut Catholique de Paris, and was ordained as a priest for the Diocese of Verdun in 1987. Leo XIV seems to favor the appointment of pro-homosexual canon lawyers. Public Profile In 2014, Francis appointed Monsignor Metz-Noblat as Bishop of the little-known diocese of Langres, in eastern France. The anti-Catholic magazine Golias described him once as "turning to literature... and terribly bored". He avoids the limelight and is reluctant to take strong public positions. However, he has been involved in one controversy: the baptism register reform in the French church. 2018 Proposal In December 2018, as president of the French bishops’ Council for questions of Canon Law, Bishop Metz-Noblat proposed changing baptismal records from 'father/mother' to 'parents or …More
Thanks, Gloria. Do you know anything about the bishop of Botswana appointed yesterday, and anything about the bishops appointed in Australia, Zimbabwe, and Vietnam today?
04/11/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Mr. Trump, credibility isn’t a PR product. You can’t claim it, and you can’t force it. You can only squander it. And that’s precisely what has been happening in the US. The lie wasn’t told once, not twice, but repeatedly, the same pattern, with different content in Vietnam, Iraq I, Iraq II, and now in Iran. And anyone who keeps telling the same story shouldn’t be surprised when eventually no one believes it anymore. And I thought you were actually a peace president, Mr. Trump. Excuse my gullibility. With these words, Uwe Froschauer—a German expert in business psychology—addresses the U.S. president in an article published on Wednesday: Who is going to believe anything you or the USA say anymore, Mr. Trump?Source. I probably don’t need to convince anyone that Donald Trump’s remarks fall far below the level of a market vendor—without wishing to offend this perfectly respectable segment of the population. If he truly believes what he says …

Thu Apr 9, 2026 - 6:45 pm EDTFri Apr 10, 2026 - 5:53 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Exorcist Father Chad Ripperger told Tucker Carlson that communists operate the same way demons do. In a nearly two-hour interview released Friday, Ripperger told Carlson he has observed that the methods of demons and communists closely mirror each other, something he has expounded on in a video series. “When you strip the veneer away of one being political and the other being spiritual, the patterns of thinking are exactly the same,” Ripperger said. “The demons always present temptation as this pie-in-the-sky thing that you’re gonna get, and you’re going to get this pleasure and joy and everything’s going to turn out right,” the exorcist noted. “But then once you give into the temptation, from there they take you down. It’s the exact same thing in communism.” Communism, too, provides a beautiful, idealistic vision about what it will provide. “You’re never gonna have to worry. The government’s gonna provide …
11. 04.2026 HOW CAN POPE LEO BE THE POPE ? Pope Leo and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez are in schism with LG 16 visible.With LG 16 invisible they become Feeneyite traditionalists. In schism they continue to penalize the St. Benedict Center (SBC) in New Hampshire, USA. The Feeneyite traditionalists there interpret Vatican Council II with LG 16 invisible. They affirm all the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms, also rationally. In schism, Fernandez declared the traditionalist Archbishop Vigano to be in schism.Vigano will not accept Vatican Council II interpreted schismatically like Pope Francis and Cardinal Fernandez. While in schism Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez threaten the SSPX with a schism-charge. The SSPX rejects the schismatic and non traditional conclusion of Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally. The SSPX affirms Tradition without Vatican Council II irrational. They will ordain new bishops who will do the same. In China the new bishops accept Vatican Council II interpreted …More
Since 2019, the German-speaking 'Conference on the Liturgy' has been working on a new book of blessings Benedictionale. The Vatican signalled its openness to the project in 2023, with completion planned for 2029. In an interview with katholisch.de on 9 April, the project's chairman, Benedictine Father Johannes Feierabend, said that the blessing formulas are "no longer formulated with priests and deacons in mind". Instead, they speak more generally of 'leadership'. It is still unclear whether laypeople would conclude blessings of the congregation with “May the Lord bless you” or “May the Lord bless us”. The new Benedictionale also includes blessings for homosexual and 'loving' couples: “We believe there should be a formula for this as well,” said Fr. Feierabend. This was the “only point that immediately caught the eye” in the Vatican. Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier suggested that the Vatican should draft such a formula. However, the German-speaking working group wants to write …More

Street scene in Birmingham Screen grab youtube Ministers could be forced to intervene in Birmingham if the “mad” Green-Gaza coalition is able to seize power at the next round of local elections. The upcoming contest at the Labour-run Birmingham City Council is being eyed up by a spread of political hopefuls keen to capitalise on voters abandoning the serving party. However, ministers fear Labour’s 14-year-long reign over Europe’s largest council could be toppled by a “mad coalition” comprised of Green and Gaza supporters. Government sources have told The Times a coalition could “make it difficult to deliver services” and lead the council into requiring central intervention. Previously, Independent Candidates Alliance leader Akhmed Yakoob stood as an independent in the 2024 General Election, standing on a pro-Gaza ticket.

[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] “Chapter V ~ OF PATIENT ENDURANCE The third point is patient endurance. We should mark this point carefully, for it adorned Christ our Bridegroom all His life. For His sufferings began very early, as soon as He was born; they began with poverty and cold. Then He was circumcised and shed His blood; He was driven to a strange country; He served the lord Joseph and His mother; He suffered hunger and thirst, shame and contempt, the vile words and works of the Jews. He fasted, He watched, and He was tempted by the devil. He was subject to all men; He wandered from country to country, from town to town, with much labour and great zeal, that He might preach the Gospel. At last He was taken prisoner by the Jews, who were His enemies, though He was their friend. He was betrayed, mocked and insulted, scourged and buffeted, and …More
"Christ our Bridegroom, wounded to the death, forsaken by God and by all creatures, dying on the cross, hanging like a log for which no one cared, save Mary, His poor mother, who could not help Him! Christ also suffered spiritually, in His soul, because of the hardened hearts of the Jews and of those who were putting Him to death; for whatever signs and wonders they saw, they remained in their wickedness. And He suffered because of their corruption and because of the vengeance that would come on them for His death; for He knew that God would avenge it on them, body and soul. Also He suffered from the distress and anguish of His mother and His disciples, who were in great affliction."
The Hebrew Bernard Lazare says of Marx: "This descendant of a lineage of rabbis and doctors inherited all the logical force of his ancestors. He was a lucid and clear Talmudist, who did not stop at the silly minutiae of practice, a Talmudist who made sociology and applied his innate qualities of exegete to the critique of political economy. He was animated by the old Hebrew materialism that perpetually dreamed of a paradise realized on earth and always repelled the distant and problematic hope of an Eden after death. But he was not merely a logician: he was also a rebel, an agitator and a harsh polemicist and took his gift of sarcasm and invective from where Heine had taken it: in the Jewish sources." -Antisemitism, its history and its causes, Bernard Lazare.
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Guy Boulanger as Archbishop of Sherbrooke, Canada. Biographical Outline Born in 1963 in Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology, and earned a doctorate in canon law in Ottawa. Ordained a priest in 1991 for the Archdiocese of Sherbrooke, he held numerous pastoral and administrative roles, including parish priest, rector of a shrine, and vicar general. Pope Francis appointed him Bishop of Rouyn-Noranda in 2020 and also Bishop of Amos in 2023. He governed both dioceses simultaneously. Francis-Aligned Bishop His public profile presents a Francis-aligned, loyla bishop: supportive of synodality, pastorally focused on the poor, and attentive to Indigenous groups. During the diocesan synod, he opened consultation broadly to the population, even beyond Catholics. He framed the Church as a space “where everyone can express themselves and contribute” In 2025, after the election of Leo XIV, Boulanger stated that the new …More
St. Thomas Cajetan, O.P. (1469-1534) Theologian and Cardinal He points out that the famous axiom “Ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia” (Where the Pope is, there is also the Church) holds true only when he acts and behaves as the Pope, because Peter “is subject to the duties of the Office” otherwise," neither is the Church in him, nor is he in the Church.”
Oh, the Liturgy is the very banner of the Catholic Faith. As Pius XI says (Divini Cultus, 1928, Denz. 2200): "the liturgy is an undoubtedly sacred thing; for, through it we are brought to God and are joined with Him; we bear witness to our faith, and we are obligated to it by a most serious duty because of the benefits and helps received, of which we are always in need. Hence a kind of intimate relationship between dogma and sacred liturgy, and likewise between Christian worship and the sanctification of the people. Therefore, Celestine I proposed and expressed a canon of faith in the venerated formulas of the Liturgy: "Let the law of supplication establish the law of believing. For when the leaders of holy peoples administer legislation enjoined upon themselves they plead the cause of the human race before divine Clemency, and they beg and pray while the entire Church sighs with them"
The abbot of Fontgombault, Dom Jean Pateau interprets the baptism of desire irrationally. In the 16th century France, they interpreted the baptism of desire rationally. So today the Athanasius Creed has visible exceptions of the baptism of desire for the abbot, but in 16th century France, at the TLM, there were no visible exceptions for the Athanasius Creed. The interpretation of the dogma EENS, has exceptions for the Aboot but this was not the problem at Mass over the centuries. So the Mass offered by the Abbot is not theologically the same as that in the 16th century for example. He can correct the error by simply interpretating Vatican Council II rationally and so traditionally and not like the French Conference of Bishops.
Short video The Muslim Cleric Who Saved Jews from The Nazi || Dr Roy Casagranda Article Arab and Muslim rescue efforts during the … I don't usually like to post or look at Wikipedia, but it was a good article from others I have seen as well while searching. Below is just two sections from the article. Iran became the place of refuge for 116,000 Polish refugees, of whom, around 5,000 were Polish Jews. Iranians openly received them, supplying them with provisions. Young survivors who arrived in Iran became known as the 'Tehran Children'. One of the refugees, Adam Szymel, recalling the moment he entered Iran, said: Well, on the camp, there was on that ship there was just two of us. My mother stayed behind with my grandmother and two sisters. They left about two weeks later. We arrived in at that time was Persia, now it's Iran. Port of Pahlavi ... Finally, we were free. We could really say we were free... It's like when the weight is dropped off your shoulders. That you could speak freely …More
