Bishop Bätzing Stands by Homosex "Blessing Ceremonies"

Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, Germany, told KNA that his diocese continues to offer "blessings" for homosexual couples: "Pastoral workers are encouraged to responsibly respond to this desire and organize blessing ceremonies with the couples."
As he put it: "Even though there are differing views on this within the global church, I see this practice in the diocese of Limburg as being within a responsible framework."
Those blessings "serve people and do not endanger the unity of the Church," said Bishop Bätzing.
Until a few weeks ago, he served as chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference.

Saint Paul teaches in Romans 1:32 that those who support sodomy are, themselves, sodomites.
Only a sodomite who rebels against God can commit the sacrilege of imparting a "sacrilegious blessing" to concubines who cohabit and practice the sin of sodomy—a sin that God abhors and forbids. A traitorous and apostate priest who rebels against God is a servant of Satan. He is a Satanist.

Cardinal of Munich Frustrated by Online Success of Critics of Synodal Path

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz.
He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence.
“This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.”
And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …Zêde

Dear Marx of Munich,
It's called technology that now allows the truth to be embraced......rather quickly.
Trying to pull the wool over the laity's eyes is now a no-no.

"The august Mary comprehended how important it was that St. Joseph should have to endure this affliction, by which his spirit was exercised and prepared for the great charge that was to be confided to him. He had now passed two months of suffering, and, overcome by his apprehensions, he exclaimed: ‘I find no remedy for my grief but absence. I acknowledge that my spouse is perfect, but it is not possible for me to penetrate the mystery of her condition, and I will not insult her virtue by subjecting her to the penalties-of the law. I will depart forthwith.” The saint resolved to set out during the night. He therefore prepared a small packet of clothing. Having received a trifling sum of money which was due to him for work, he determined to leave the house after midnight."

"And as he /Joseph/ preserved silence, not seeking consolation elsewhere, (as men usually do,) the sufferings of the saint were naturally more intense.
The heart of the gentle Mary was penetrated by a sorrow not less profound; but she resolved to redouble her cares for the health of her spouse. She continued to conceal the mystery which she had no command to disclose, in order to honor and to preserve the secret of the celestial King. So far as regarded herself, she left nothing undone to promote his comfort—entreating him to remind her of anything which might contribute to restore his declining health."

The Vatican altered the official Italian transcript of Pope Leo XIV’s 23 April flight remarks, removing the word "infamous". He had used it while discussing homosexual "blessings" in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and describing Pope Francis’ phrase tutti, tutti, tutti as infamous, famous, well known.

Cardinal Marx Must Be Opposed – Bishop Strickland

On 23 April, Bishop emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on X.com on the homosexual 'blessing' in the Archdiocese of Munich:
"This is evil and must be opposed by every faithful Catholic. Woe to so-called shepherds who lead the sheep astray. Rome should speak clearly and immediately but all I hear is silence. Blessing sin is the complete opposite of love."
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has instructed all priests and full-time pastoral staff in the archdiocese to perform, enable or facilitate 'blessings' of same-sex and adulterous couples.

Prevost promotes the falsification of Jesus and the Virgin—depicting them not as Jews, but as Black—in Equatorial Guinea.

Mocking the biblical Jesus Christ, the Marxist apostate Robert Prevost recited the *Regina Caeli* before an image of a black woman with a black baby on her back.
Prevost celebrated a Marxist, inculturated "Mass" at the Malabo Stadium, before an image of a Black "Virgin" and a Black, Marxist "Baby Jesus." Equatorial Guinea.
The Marxist Prevost—while promoting a false Black Christ—has the cynicism to proclaim himself the successor of Peter.

It is also necessary to clarify that there is no apparition in Africa depicting a Black woman carrying the Baby Jesus on her back. Yet, it turns out that modernist heretics now take the liberty of fabricating statues with Marxist messages at their whim.

Detroit Parish That Drew Crowds With Latin Mass Closed

A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21.
St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline.
This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics.
However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest.
Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years.
Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists.
This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …Zêde

A dying Novus Ordo parish is given a Latin Mass, which naturally explodes in popularity. A few influential Novus parishioners get jealous, make up bogus accusations, and run the trads out of town. Now the parish is basically closed, and they call it a success. Sound familiar? 🤡

This homosexual, Marxist, and Masonic sect—which worships false gods—hates the Traditional Holy Mass, because said Mass was declared the Official Mass of the Church until the end of time. Conversely, the *Novus Ordo* Mass permits the changes that modernist heretics—infiltrated within the Second Vatican Council—introduced under the pretext of ecumenism; an ecumenism that promotes neither the conversion of Jews who reject their Messiah, nor that of idolatrous Muslims and followers of other false religions, but rather a Masonic fraternity in which polytheism is promoted. And a false peace with those who reject the Prince of Peace. A false UNITY wherein false gods are equated with the Most Holy Trinity (such as the false god Allah), and wherein Christ is not considered necessary as Redeemer. For this reason, no effort is made to ensure that idolaters convert, believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are baptized. The synodal sect promotes the notion that Christ is no longer necessary …Zêde

Leo XIV: "I Condemn Capital Punishment"

On the return flight to Rome on April 23, Leo XIV took questions from selected journalists. Main quotes.
- We must promote a culture of peace. The issue is not whether there is regime change or not; the issue is how to promote the values we believe in without the death of so many innocent people.
- The situation in Iran is clearly very complex. Even the negotiations themselves—one day Iran says yes and the United States says no, and vice versa.
- I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during the visit to Lebanon, was waiting there with a sign saying “Welcome Pope Leo.” He has been killed in this final phase of the war.
- A state has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order.

Go to your muslim friends and tell THEM 'we must promote a culture of peace'. Tell them to their faces - unambiguously ie tell them to stop murdering and hating Christians. Tell them that their populations in the Christian West need to respect OUR culture, OUR Christianity, OUR history - or leave. Preferably leave. Start preaching it regularly to the whole world without exception - and see what happens.

Does state secularism spell the end of the Catholic Church in Quebec?

Canada's Quebec was once a strong French Catholic province. Canada is founded on Christan roots. However, the Quiet Revolution going back to the 1960s to modernize and turn the province from a Catholic-centred society into a modern, secular and technocratic state has been largely done. The province took another step recently to complete the process.
On April 2, 2026,
Bill 9 An Act respecting the reinforcement of laicity became law in Quebec. One could argue the old Liberal government's slogan to be, "Maîtres chez nous," (Masters of our own house), from 1960-1966, has now been fully accomplished in education, healthcare, workplace and places of worship.
What is the new laicity law supposed to do? Reinforce secularism in public spaces and the workplace. Bill 9 bans the display of religious symbols and prohibits religious practice in all government institutions such as childcare centres, healthcare facilities and private schools.
"Religious practice" is defined as "any action, except the …

Leo XIV’s Evasive Response to Marx’s Homosexual Blessings – No Sanctions

On the return flight to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the decision of Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, to enforce "blessings" for homosexual couples in his archdiocese. Leo XIV replied:
"First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops.
The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. …Zêde

Over 8 in 10 Want French Government to Cut Fuel Taxes – Allah's Willing Executioners

The French public is overwhelmingly in favour of the government cutting fuel taxes amid the growing energy crisis across Europe, a survey has found.
A CSA poll
conducted on behalf of broadcasters CNews, Europe 1 and Le Journal du Dimanche found that 82 per cent of French voters support reducing taxes on fuel to lower pump prices for consumers.
Perhaps reflecting the particularities of the French political landscape, voters on the left were more likely to favour a reduction in the fuel tax than those on the right, by a margin of 80 per cent to 66 per cent.
However, supporters of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party, which advocates for strict immigration in conjunction with strong state intervention in the economy, were the most likely to back a fuel tax cut at 93 per cent.
National Rally President Jordan Bardella — who would serve as the party’s presidential candidate next year should the ban on Le Pen be upheld — came out this week in favour of reducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) on …

The law requires these flags to be removed within 30 days. This measure applies to all public institutions and limits the display of foreign flags to official events, in order to reinforce state neutrality. Fines range from €200 to €4,000, with additional sanctions possible.

(
LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
“The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote.
“The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …
