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 …Ebisinga

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.
Time to go back into your corner , eat some Brats, drink some beer, and think how to be an Honest to goodness Catholic, because at the moment, you are an utter failure and disgrace to the Uniform.

Day of the Most Holy Miracle of Santarém
In the year 1247, a poor woman lived in Santarém whose husband greatly offended her, going astray with another woman.
Tired of suffering, she went to ask a Jewish witch to end her misfortune with her spells.
The witch promised her an effective remedy, but for that she needed a Consecrated Host.
After much hesitation, the poor woman consented to the sacrilege. She went to the Church of Santo Estêvão, confessed, and asked for Communion.
Once she had received the Sacred Particle, she carefully removed it from her mouth and wrapped it in her veil. She quickly left the church and headed for the witch’s house. However, without her noticing, blood began to drip from the veil.
Several people saw it and asked the unfortunate woman what wounds she had that were bleeding so much. Extremely confused, she ran home and locked the Miraculous Host inside one of her chests.
Later that day, in the afternoon, her husband returned.
Deep in the night, both woke up …Ebisinga

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.

@chris griffin I guess you just don't understand what I post or what I'm about now do you? It is clear you can't make the connection between abortion and the "Errors of Russia." And you can't make the connection between Our Lady of Fatima and Her words, "only I can help you." I really don't understand how that is lying? God bless you!

Leo Affirms Francis on Blessing of Gay Couples

Leo XIV’s answer on Cardinal Reinhard Marx and homosexual blessings was a containment strategy.
Asked about Marx’s decision in Munich to press forward with blessings for homosexual couples, Leo did not say that such couples cannot be blessed as couples. He did not say that Fiducia Supplicans created confusion. He did not say that Rome would discipline Marx. He did not even place Catholic sexual morality at the center of the answer. Instead, he began by saying that “the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters,” then shifted to “justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion,” which he said “would all take priority before that particular issue.” Only after that did he say the Holy See does not agree with the “formalized blessing of couples,” whether homosexual couples or other irregular couples, “beyond what was specifically” allowed by Francis.
That is the whole game.
The word doing the work is formalized. Leo did not close the …

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.
- We must treat migrants humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens.
- The issue of human trafficking is also part of migration.
- What are we doing in richer countries to change the situation in poorer countries?
- Africa is …Ebisinga

1227. Withdrawal of U.S. military bases from the Middle East – World Scam

04/24/2026
Entire blog as a free PDF eBook.
The American military bases are strikingly reminiscent of the situation with the eleven U.S. aircraft carriers: instead of serving as a deterrent, they themselves have to flee. The U.S. empire remains dangerous. This is because the paper tiger is highly flammable and, when it burns, can set bystanders ablaze. This is the only element of intimidation that still works on some people. It drives the enemies to roaring laughter. The Americans had to make such fools of themselves, but as we can see, they wanted this war, which exposes their powerlessness.
Most of the US military bases and facilities in the Persian Gulf (listed below) have been hit by Iran during the first five weeks of the war. And many of these are no longer operating or have been effectively destroyed. The US Naval base in Bahrain is no longer operational and cannot service US ships. One of Iran’s stated demands in its 10-point plan, which was presented to the US more than two …

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.

@chris griffin The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church has blessed and approved the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. I disagree it is "fair and just," "all Catholics should ignore Fatima." Our Lady of Fatima said "only I can help you." If we had done what Our Lady of Fatima asked there would be no abortion today plain and simple. I think your position in opposition to Our Lady of Fatima only continues the "Errors of Russia," and abortion is one of those "Errors." God bless you!

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 16,15-20.
Jesus said to the eleven: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages.
They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Markus 16,15-20.
In jener Zeit erschien Jesus den Elf und sprach zu ihnen: Geht hinaus in die ganze Welt und verkündet das Evangelium der ganzen Schöpfung!
Wer glaubt und sich taufen lässt, wird gerettet; wer aber nicht glaubt, wird verurteilt werden.
Und durch die, die zum Glauben gekommen sind, werden folgende Zeichen geschehen: In meinem Namen werden sie Dämonen austreiben; sie werden in neuen Sprachen reden;
wenn sie Schlangen anfassen oder tödliches Gift trinken, wird es ihnen nicht schaden; und die Kranken, denen sie die Hände auflegen, werden gesund werden.
Nachdem Jesus, der Herr, dies zu ihnen gesagt hatte, wurde er in den Himmel aufgenommen und setzte sich zur Rechten Gottes.
Sie aber zogen aus und verkündeten überall. Der Herr stand ihnen bei und bekräftigte das Wort durch die Zeichen, die es begleiteten.

Prevost attempts to normalize Bergoglio's *Fiducia Supplicans*, which promotes the sacrilegious blessing of the sin of sodomy.

The entirety of the pro-homosexual pamphlet *Fiducia Supplicans*—which permits sacrilegious blessings of unrepentant homosexual concubines—is heretical, sacrilegious, and diabolical, just as Cardinal Müller warned.

Prevost has not repudiated "the entirety" of the apostate and heretical pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans*.
Rather, Tucho and Prevost seek to legitimize this by invoking an alleged transgression of the boundaries that the homosexual Tucho—acting in complicity with Bergoglio—had established; this maneuver, in its diabolical cunning, was skillfully contrived to soften the impact of the apostasy.
But homosexual activists—beginning with Tucho, Bergoglio, Prevost, James Martin and the sacrilegious German apostates—have, in fact, given themselves permission to transgress biblical boundaries and Catholic moral doctrine.
Consequently, the pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans* consummate a triple …Ebisinga

"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."

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.

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? 🤡

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 …Ebisinga

Here he /Joachim/ was met by Anna, radiant with happiness. They embraced each other with holy joy, and each told the other their good tidings. They were in a state of ecstasy and enveloped in a cloud of light. I saw this light issuing from a great host of angels, who were carrying the appearance of a high shining tower and hovering above the heads of Anna and Joachim. The form of this tower was the same as I see in pictures, from the litany of the Blessed Virgin, of the Tower of David, the Tower of Ivory, and so forth. I saw that this tower seemed to disappear between Anna and Joachim, who were enveloped in a glory of brightness. I understood that, as a result of the grace here given, the conception of Mary was as pure as all conceptions would have been but for the Fall. I had at the same time an indescribable vision. The heavens opened above them, and I saw the joy of the Holy Trinity and of the angels, and their participation in the mysterious blessing here bestowed on Mary’s parents.
