Pyhän Pius X:n pappisveljeskunnan esimies Davide Pagliarani kirjoitti 14. toukokuuta paavi Leo XIV:lle. Avoin kirje julkaistiin alle 24 tuntia sen jälkeen, kun kardinaali Tucho Fernández oli uhannut ekskommunikaatiolla. Pappisveljeskunta pahoittelee, että se on käyttänyt yli 50 vuotta varoittaakseen Pyhää istuinta opillisista ja moraalisista virheistä, mutta nämä huolenaiheet eivät ole saaneet tyydyttävää vastausta; sen sijaan Rooma harkitsee kanonisia seuraamuksia. Fr. Pagliarani ei käsittele kysymystä piispanvihkimyksestä tai paavin mandaatista sitä varten. Sen sijaan hän julkaisi "uskonjulistuksen" ja totesi, että se edustaa "vähimmäismäärää, joka on välttämätön, jotta voimme olla yhteydessä kirkon kanssa ja kutsua itseämme todella katolilaisiksi ja näin ollen teidän poikanne". Julistus esittää itsensä lojaalina paaville. Se puhuttelee Leo XIV:tä toistuvasti kunnioittavasti ja käyttää nimityksiä "pyhin isä" ja "teidän pyhyytenne".

14. mail kirjutas Fr. Davide Pagliarani, Püha Pius X preestrivennaskonna ülem, paavst Leo XIV-le. Avatud kiri anti välja vähem kui 24 tundi pärast seda, kui kardinal Tucho Fernández ähvardas ekskommunikeerimisega. Preestrivennaskond kurdab, et on üle 50 aasta kulutanud selleks, et hoiatada Püha Tooli doktriiniliste ja moraalsete vigade eest, kuid need mured ei ole saanud rahuldavat vastust; selle asemel kaalub Rooma kanoonilisi sanktsioone. P. Pagliarani ei käsitle piiskopiks pühitsemise küsimust ega paavstlikku mandaati selleks. Selle asemel avaldas ta "usudeklaratsiooni", märkides, et see kujutab endast "minimaalset hädavajalikku, et olla ühenduses Kirikuga ja nimetada end tõeliselt katoliiklasteks ja järelikult teie poegadeks". Deklaratsioon esitab end paavstile lojaalselt. Selles pöördutakse korduvalt Leo XIV poole austusega, kasutades selliseid tiitleid nagu "Pühim Isa" ja "Teie Pühadus".

"Kirkon sisällä vahva lobbaaminen homoseksuaalisen agendan puolesta": Pyhän Patrickin katedraalin kirkkoherra Donald Haggerty arvosteli 11. toukokuuta pitämässään saarnassa Vatikaanin synodin tutkimusasiakirjaa, jossa ehdotetaan homoseksuaalisten suhteiden "uudelleentarkastelua": "On tavallaan tyrmistyttävää, että Vatikaanin asiakirjasta tulee tällaista." Hän lisäsi, että "kirkon sisällä on voimakas lobbaaminen homoseksuaalisen agendan puolesta".
Fr. Donald Haggerty denounced the Synod study document’s proposed “rethinking” of homosexuality as a disturbing challenge to Catholic teaching.

Today, 16 months later, he and his party are paying a significant political price while American consumers are stuck with the bill. That bill, according to one scholarly estimate, totals $1,508 per household since President Trump took office for the second time (in after-tax dollars). And as the president does not need reminding, that’s with the congressional elections six months away and the cost of living the voters’ top concern. As if that were not enough, these same voters, when they fill up their cars, are confronting the costs of Trump’s choice to go to war with Iran, at a national average of $4.52 a gallon — that’s $90.40 for a 20-…Lisää
Yhdysvalloissa nimitetyistä 26 ensimmäisestä piispasta 11 (42 %) oli syntynyt Yhdysvaltojen ulkopuolella. He ovat kotoisin Etelä-Amerikasta, Aasiasta ja Afrikasta, ja heidän joukossaan on entinen paperiton maahanmuuttaja El Salvadorista ja kaksi entistä pakolaista Vietnamista.
As of May 6, 2026, he has made 26 appointments of bishops for his homeland. Eleven of these bishops — 42% — were born outside the United States.
From a former undocumented immigrant to the nation's youngest prelate, Pope Leo XIV's recent bishop appointments reflect a diverse Catholic Church in his homeland. Since his election on May 8 last year, Pope Leo XIV has named numerous bishops to fill posts around the world, also in the USA. Before becoming pope, Cardinal Robert Prevost was himself in charge of proposing new bishops for established Latin Rite dioceses around the world. So, while such decisions are never taken lightly, Leo XIV is particularly keyed in to the needs and criteria involved. As of May 6, 2026, he has made 26 appointments of bishops for his homeland. This includes raising priests to the bishopric, elevating auxiliary bishops to new dioceses, and transferring ordinary bishops to new sees. Eleven of these bishops — 42% — were born outside the United States. Sixteen of them are under 60 years old, and the youngest is 45. Only three come from religious communities: a Jesuit, a Benedictine, and an Oratorian. They …

Bishop Varden on hope, AI, patience — and not weaponizing Christianity BALTIMORE (OSV News) — During his May 7 visit to St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, a member of the Trappist monastic order, sat down with OSV News to share his insights on Christian hope, the dangers of AI and weaponizing the Christian faith, and the need for patience in the spiritual life.
Noruega: Mons. Varden reivindica la paciencia frente a la cultura de lo inmediato El Obispo Erik Varden, monje trapense y titular de la diócesis de Trondheim (Noruega), ha afirmado que no alberga «absolutamente ninguna esperanza» en la inteligencia artificial como instrumento de renovación espiritual. «Cualquier renovación espiritual digna de ese nombre es aquella que traspasa el corazón humano, y eso es algo que un algoritmo no puede hacer», ha declarado en una entrevista concedida a OSV News durante su visita al seminario de St. Mary's en Baltimore el pasado 7 de mayo. hmtv
Bishop Varden on hope, AI, patience - and not … This interview has been edited for length and clarity. OSV News: You provided the reflections for the Lenten Spiritual Exercises in the Vatican for Pope Leo XIV and others, and in your final reflection, you focused on the theme of communicating hope. In the U.S. there’s been a real interest in Nordic noir films and books — often bleak and morally ambiguous — and a perception that Nordic culture is broadly the same. Do you find any irony in a Nordic bishop focusing on hope? Bishop Varden: Well, your question makes me smile, because I’ve lived in a number of different countries, mainly in Europe, and I find that the more you move south in Europe, the more people have extravagant notions of the North, and the more they assume that it is an area of the world plunged in perpetual darkness, where everyone is given to drink and excess, and where everyone is on antidepressants, and where people keep killing themselves with axes.

Hence there follows most justly the statement, "Ye are the salt of the earth;" showing that those parties are to be judged insipid, who, either in the eager pursuit after abundance of earthly blessings, or through the dread of want, lose the eternal things which can neither be given nor taken away by men. "But if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?" i.e., If ye, by means of whom the nations in a measure are to be preserved [from corruption], through the dread of temporal persecutions shall lose the kingdom of heaven, where will be the men through whom error may be removed from you, since God has chosen you, in order that through you He might remove the error of others?

"Chapter VII 18. "Let your light," says He, "so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." If He had merely said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works," He would seem to have fixed an end in the praises of men, which hypocrites seek, and those who canvass for honors and covet glory of the emptiest kind. Against such parties it is said, "If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ;" and, by the prophet, "They who please men are put to shame, because God hath despised them;" and again, "God hath broken the bones of those who please men;" and again the apostle, "Let us not be desirous of vainglory;" and still another time, "But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another."
Tuesday, May 13th, 1913, Mother Thinks Police Are Doing Their Best Mrs. J. W. Coleman, mother of fourteen-year-old Mary Phagan, rose from her grief on Tuesday for the first time in sixteen days and returned to her household duties, resigned to the tragedy that has shattered her home and trusting in the law to bring justice for her daughter's death. "It was such a beautiful morning," she told a Georgian reporter, "And I have been able to rest now for three nights, so I felt like doing my work again. My house has been in such a turmoil since this dreadful tragedy. I feel helpless, and I have resigned myself to the sad lot that has befallen us. All we can do is wait, and waiting is a hard task." No Complaint of Police Mrs. Coleman was careful to make clear she holds no grievance against the officers handling the investigation. "Don't misunderstand me. I am not complaining about what the officers are doing. It is far better to go slow and be sure we are doing right than to hurry and make a …Lisää
Tucho toys with the dogma of the papacy—not to defend the faith against heresy, but so that others may join Prevost's rebellion against God.and against the Church. Thus, for these apostates—who promote the heresy of religious indifferentism—Christ is not necessary for salvation, but Prevost is. According to this servant of the devil, sodomy no longer constitutes an offense against God, but rather the failure to join the promoter of sodomy: Robert Prevost.
Here, there is no "synodality"—that concept in which the figure of the Pope of the synodal sect is nothing more than an equal among others, even the false religions.
Thursday, May 14 - Ascension of the Lord - Solemnity Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 28,16-20. The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
Fatima Reveals Truth Most Catholics Ignore St. Paul’s experience in Athens highlights the importance of focusing on Jesus Christ and His crucifixion. Despite the Holy Spirit’s guidance and the truth revealed through Our Lady of Fatima, many resist the message of repentance and the necessity of embracing the cross for salvation. The Church and its members must confront this truth and choose to follow Christ’s path, even if it leads to suffering. Fr.
