Second uncertainty: Since we do not know what happens in a conclave, which is perfectly normal, we also do not know why Pius XII's successor, after being elected, accepting the position and taking a name, suddenly renounced it shortly afterwards. We should not give credence to all the more or less far-fetched hypotheses of those who claim to know what happened, because no one from the conclave has spoken. The only thing that is certain is that the elected candidate accepted and then renounced: the rest is superfluous. (Source: first comment)
A video of a mom, Dejana, with no arms caring for her baby girl has gone viral. In a culture that labels disability as “inconvenient,” love does not depend on physical ability.
Leo's brief comments to the press this evening -- “I have already spoken from the first moment ‘peace be with you.’ The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully. The Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that”
Il Papa dovrebbe astenersi da queste conferenze stampa settimanali. Ciò permette ai media di dettare il tono e di guidare il testimone. La maggior parte dei predecessori di Leone facevano notizia, non reagivano ad essa. In questo scenario, il Papa viene ridotto a un semplice opinionista, il che sminuisce la sua carica. Sono i media a dettare legge e il Papa sta al gioco, lasciandosi trascinare in polemiche che non sono tali.
The destruction of doctrine under the language of “discernment,” “listening,” & “lived experience” is one of the gravest spiritual dangers of our time. Truth is not determined by experience. Truth is revealed by God An Emergency in the Church - Pillars of Faith

Medforth AI The Islamisation of Vienna’s public school system is progressing rapidly. Latest numbers from the city’s education authority – published today by newspaper Die Presse – show that Muslims now make up 42 per cent of the 114,000 pupils in Vienna’s state schools. The main other groups are children without a religious affiliation (23 per cent), Catholics (17 per cent) and Orthodox Christians (14 per cent). In public, middle and polytechnical schools almost half the students (49 per cent) adhere to Islam. These are schools for children aged 10 to 15 who typically learn a trade after school. In public primary schools for kids aged six to 10, Muslims account for 39 per cent of all students. Integration expert Kenan Güngör said the proportion of Muslims in Austria had risen especially rapidly since 2015 when large-scale immigration from Arab countries and other Muslim countries to Austria started: “This is having an impact on schools – because the birth rate is higher among …
How is it possible that Francesco Capozza is still accredited to the Holy See Press Office, given that he is not a journalist on the professional register and given that he is facing pending criminal proceedings for offences of particular gravity? How is it possible that someone who insults priests by branding them as homosexuals can hold accreditation at the Pope's Press Office? It is a question which, leaving aside the parties' respective positions, goes directly to the responsibility of those who manage Vatican accreditations - Paolo Ruffini, Andrea Tornielli and Matteo Bruni - and to the overall credibility of the Vatican press corps...
Il Tempo's Vatican correspondent Francesco … [...] the Vatican reporter is facing extremely serious criminal proceedings. The Rome Public Prosecutor's Office has applied to commit him for trial on charges of extortion, harassment and stalking of a former partner. According to the prosecution case, supported by chat logs and audio recordings on file, Capozza is alleged to have extorted money from his former partner by threatening to out him publicly as gay. Capozza was questioned on 23 April 2026. The case, which has been on foot for some time, has been subject to significant delays because - as the file shows - for over a year the defendant was recorded as "untraceable" by the police. The presumption of innocence until final judgment naturally applies. A second legal front has opened in Civitavecchia, the town where Capozza lives and which he openly flags up on his social media profiles. Two of his neighbours have reported him to the police for extremely serious conduct: he is …Mai

On 27 April, Leo XIV’s liturgical vestment designer, Filippo Sorcinelli, spoke to DailyMail.co.uk about the papal liturgical wardrobe. Sorcinelli is a homosexual who uses imagery of sadomasochism in his work as a perfumer. He works with the Vatican's liturgical office to design vestments, not directly with Leo XIV. He said that the Pope does not stage spectacles: "Each visual choice contributes to building a language of reliability, balance and quiet authority." The means of communication are fabrics, colours and shapes. "Every detail is designed to support the Pope’s role, not draw attention away from it." Leo XIV has leaned into classic papal tailoring, reinstating details such as cufflinks and structured vestments that emphasise form and precision. Sorcinelli has never perceived a conflict between his faith and his vice: "I have never viewed faith and homosexuality as adversaries, but rather as a creative tension that fuels my work." He added that his experience within the Church …Mai
Wed May 6, 2026 - 10:35 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Catholic AfD politician Nicole Höchst has said that her party is “grounded in the Christian faith and Christian values of Catholic social teaching.” In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Höchst discussed whether the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a Christian party, her view of the Synodal Way of the German Catholic bishops, and her personal faith journey. Höchst is a member of the German Parliament, or Bundestag, and the AfD’s spokesperson for religious affairs. She is also a practicing Catholic. Regarding the AfD’s policy positions, Höchst said, “We are, after all, grounded in the Christian faith – specifically, in the Christian values of Catholic social teaching, as one might say – and this is clearly articulated, above all, in our party platform; consequently, we base many of our political positions on this Christian theological foundation. ” However, many AfD politicians are not practicing Christians, and one of the …
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (28) After some more time had passed in such poverty, the enemy of all those who have set foot on earth appeared again. This time he came in the appearance of the Virgin Mary with her little Son in her arms. He addressed her and spoke thus, scolding her: “You have not wished to abandon your wicked self-love, and I will not give you the virtuous love that is my little Son’s.” And having said this, he disappeared like a person who was upset. And she, thinking that it was the Mother of Christ, pondered very bitterly, believing that she was estranged from her and her Son. (29) Now let the listener think into what mortal weakness and sadness of heart this led her, so much that she could scarcely hold herself upright, so much that many times she would have despaired if she had not known well that the worst sin that can be is that of despair, and also because the divine …Mai
"(3l) So, one night, when the other sisters slept, she heard him walking around the monastery like a madman yelling with frightful and terrible voice. And after this, when he didn’t receive from God freedom to destroy the monastery to the ground as happened to blessed Job, he did so much that, in a short while, the monastery was empty of both goods and sisters. But she stood firm and did not wish to go outside until it was promised to her by those who went out of there that she could return and begin again in better surroundings than before."
"(30) And when the malign one saw that through all this he could not obtain her damnation, it seems that he received from God the freedom to redouble his rage against her. Knowing how and how much she loved the honor of this monastery from her heart and the common good of all the sisters, he sought to afflict her in another way.

Catholics unite in daily rosary in Madrid | Shalom World News In Madrid, what began as a small gathering has grown into a steady rhythm of public prayer. Each evening, Catholics assemble on the steps of the Santuario del Inmaculado Corazón de María for the “Lunes de Santo Rosario de Ferraz,” lifting their voices in the Rosary for Spain and for the preservation of the Catholic faith in an increasingly secular age. More than a devotional act, the gathering has taken on a deeper meaning: a quiet but visible witness in the heart of the city. The initiative, which emerged in late 2023, faced early legal and civic challenges, reflecting broader tensions around public expressions of faith. Yet in 2024, the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid affirmed its legitimacy, allowing the daily prayer to continue. What endures is not controversy, but constancy. Beads pass through hands, prayers rise into the night, and a community forms—bound not by spectacle, but by conviction. In a world often …Mai
