Pro-homosexual Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, defended "our Muslim neighbors' right to worship" in a July 27 statement. He had heard in recent weeks concerns from some residents regarding the proposal to build a mosque and community center in Albuquerque's North Valley. "Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own. Defending that right is not only a civic duty but a core element of Catholic teaching", the Archbishop wrote. According to Monsignor Wester, supporting the construction of a mosque is entirely consistent with Catholic tradition and moral commitments. He urged Catholics to "choose respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence." In 2025, it emerged that, Archbishop Wester promoted and lived with a priest who had spent ten years in a registered homosexual relationship. Picture: AI, #newsXofkbkkgnx

– Folha de S. Paulo, March 28, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira In my long public life, I have never been a politician. I was not one, even in 1934 when I served as a representative for São Paulo in the constituent assembly on the “Single Slate.” In fact, on that slate, I did not represent any political party but the large non-partisan organization known as the Catholic Electoral League. During my term, I took a personal stance — different from that of my caucus — only on issues related to defending the Church and Christian civilization. After my term ended, the two main political groups in São Paulo — the PRP and the Constitutionalist Party — politely yet insistently invited me to join their slates for the 1935 election. I chose instead to run as an independent candidate, even though the results of that election (which should be noted) were fiercely contested. I recall all these facts to clearly show how long I’ve been detached from party politics. It is a detachment that only very …Më shumë
Around 500 nude volunteers gathered outside the Cathedral of Santa Ana in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, on Sunday for a photographic installation by American artist Spencer Tunick as part of the Culture & Business Pride festival. Participants, painted in the rainbow colors, posed in front of the cathedral on the feast of St. Anne, the city's patron saint. The project was planned in advance as an official festival event, with backing from local tourism and government bodies. Organizers said the artwork celebrated diversity and homosexuality. According to El País, the local bishop, Monsignor José Mazuelos, said he did not object to the nude performance in front of his cathedral: "I have no problem. When we go to the beach, we see naked bodies, don't we?" His complaint was instead about access restrictions that temporarily delayed clergy and parishioners attending the 10 a.m. Eucharist. He also described the event as "marketing for the city," adding he supported it insofar as it promoted …Më shumë

Berlin’s homosex march 'Christopher Street Day' is a “joyful and moving celebration.” That is what pro-homosexual Archbishop Heiner Koch of Berlin told KNA on Sunday. He spoke after an attack on the march on Saturday evening. One woman was killed, and at least 31 others were injured, some of them seriously. The attacker, Abdul B., 21, drove a car into the crowd and was later - conveniently for the justice system and politicians - shot dead during a police operation. The full context of Archbishop Koch's statement is: "How terrible! To brutally destroy such a joyful and moving celebration. We keep all the victims, their families, friends, and everyone whose joy has been taken away by hatred in our prayers. Hatred must not prevail." Abdul B. was born in Berlin in 2005 and grew up there. His parents are from Lebanon, and he held German citizenship. His family belongs to a large extended clan. He had been known to the security authorities for years and was considered part of the Islamist …Më shumë

The Vatican has published new guidelines today, "Recollecting: Accompanying the Preparation of the Local Church's Evaluation Assembly," for the next stage of the Synod on Synodality. Every diocese is required to hold evaluation assemblies during the first half of 2027 to assess how the Synod's Final Document has been implemented. Bishops will lead the evaluation, establish or reactivate synodal teams, and approve a six- to eight-page narrative report to be submitted to Rome. They are also instructed to describe "transformations in decision-making processes, and reforms of structures" as part of their narrative report. Interreligious synodality Each diocese will also hold an evaluation assembly using the method of "conversation in the Spirit." The guidelines state that dioceses should consider inviting "representatives of other Christian Churches and communities or other religions as observers."

He hung banners accusing the six visionaries of being "frauds - I have proof", spray-painted slogans including "Medjugorje is a deception," "Only Jesus," and "Mary = devil," and set fire to the recently renovated outdoor altar behind St. James Church.

exactly how do inside and outside cameras and alarms prevent this desecration? They may help in identifing the criminals but they do not prevent it. I also am curious, what makes you think this church is relatively wealthy?
I have little sympathy for damage suffered by any relatively wealthy church that still hasn't installed inside and outside surveillance cameras, along with taking such other measures like alarming entrances and making doors & locks as break-in proof as possible. God's in there and deserves better protection.
Rev. Gerald Murray Questions Vatican's Rupnik Trial: The New York-based canon lawyer criticises the lack of transparency in the Vatican's canonical trial against Marko Rupnik. "Why don't we know who the judges are?" he asked talking to Raymond Arroyo on 25 July. Rev Murray also pointed out that "we don't know which charges" are being levelled against Rupnik. Finally, he argues that victims who provided evidence should have the right to participate in the process. "The whole thing is a horrific problem."

Video Reveals the Scale of the Nude Performance Outside Las Palmas Cathedral The video shows details of the performance involving nearly 500 nude participants painted in rainbow colours outside Las Palmas Cathedral in Spain last Sunday. Bishop José Mazuelos of the Canary Islands defended the demonstration, stating that he saw "no problem" with it and arguing that "anything that promotes the city is good marketing".
