Vatican won’t stop pro-LGBT sex ed after parents appeal to Leo XIV

Vatican Noncommittal on Hamburg Sex-Education Scandal

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Education has responded to a Catholic mother involved in a parents’ campaign against a new sexual-education framework for Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Hamburg, reports LaNuovaBq.it on August 18. Hamburg is led by Archbishop Stefan Heße.
The response was sent to Varinia Arauco, a Peruvian-born mother involved with the ‘Parents’ Network for Child Protection and Prevention’. Arauco and other parents have appealed to Church authorities in Germany and Rome over the Archdiocese of Hamburg’s framework “Male, Female, Diverse: Framework for Sexual Education at Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Hamburg.”
The framework was published in 2025 and is intended to be implemented in the archdiocese’s 15 Catholic school locations from the 2026/27 school year. It explicitly supports the “acceptance of diversity with regard to sexual orientations and gender identity”
The parents also submitted a petition to Pope Leo XIV through the Apostolic Nuncio in Germany and …More

Leo XIV’s Newest Appointments: WEF, Agenda 2030 and Women-Must-Become-Priests

On 18 August 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed twelve new consultors to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. Leo XIV fills the Vatican's social-policy apparatus with mostly anti-Catholic figures.
1. Peter G. Kirchschläger, 49, Social ethicist, University of Lucerne, Switzerland
In December 2018, he said that the Catholic Church has an unresolved human-rights problem regarding the impossibility of women's ordination to the priesthood. He even claimed that the state "may not look away" but has an obligation to press the Church on it. When presented with the argument that women dissatisfied with Catholic teaching can leave, he answered: “That would be protecting the perpetrator.”
2. Kathryn A. Koch, 45, Wall Street Finance
Kathryn Koch spent 20 years at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, became a Goldman partner and ran its approximately $300 billion public-equity business.
In 2015, Koch was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
Since 2024, Koch has …More

After the gathering ended, some counter-protesters attempted to break through police lines, exerting “pressure and violence” against officers.Twelve police officers suffered minor injuries from pepper spray deployed by fellow officers while pushing back counter-protesters.

Friedliche Gebetsaktion für das Leben wird von Gegendemonstranten attackiert

In Göttingen hatten sich am vergangenen Samstag etwa 20 Beter zum „Öffentlichen Rosenkranz gegen Abtreibung“ versammelt, wie die Frankfurter Allgemeine berichtet. Eine friedliche Kundgebung, bei der das gemeinsame Gebet im Vordergrund stand. Doch als die Veranstaltung dabei war, sich aufzulösen, drohte die Situation zu eskalieren. Teilnehmer der nach Einschätzung der Polizei spontan entstandenen Gegendemonstration wollten auf die Beter losgehen. Dank des Einschreitens der Polizei, die mit einer größeren Anzahl von Einsatzkräften eine Schutzkette bildete und sich sogar gezwungen sah, Pfefferspray einzusetzen, wurden die Ausschreitungen eingedämmt. Insgesamt erlitten zwölf Polizisten Verletzungen. Ob auch Gegendemonstranten verletzt wurden, ist unklar. Nun ermittelt die Polizei und prüft mögliche Straftaten.

Vatican Won’t Stop Pro-LGBT Sex Ed After Parents Appeal to Pope Leo

Catholic parents who begged Pope Leo XIV to halt the implementation of pro-LGBT sex education in Hamburg’s Catholic schools received a brief Vatican reply reaffirming Church teaching on gender, but no direct intervention to stop the program. The pro-LGBT diocesan sex-education guidelines remain set to take effect on August 20. According to a report published by Italian outlet La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, the Dicastery for Culture and Education responded to the parents’ complaint by pointing to a 2019 Vatican document which rejects modern gender ideology in education, but it did not announce any measure to stop the pro-LGBT Hamburg guidelines from being enforced in Catholic schools. The Vatican response was sent to Varinia Arauco, a Peruvian-born mother who wrote to Pope Leo XIV and other Vatican officials to raise concerns about the new sexual education guidelines approved by local Hamburg Archbishop Stefan Heße.

'Education' is the misnomer; this is indoctrination. It is mired in ideological fantasies and obfuscations alien to any scientific or moral moorings. For any pope to remain silent in the face of such child abuse "It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea...".

RFK Jr. says Fauci paid UNC scientist Ralph Baric to develop a technique called "no-see-em," which makes pathogens MORE dangerous and COVERS UP the evidence of human manipulation. Baric went on to teach this technique to the "Bat Lady" at the Wuhan Lab. Fauci knew this. Then spent years telling the public COVID came from a "natural origin." RFK JR: "He was lying about the origins from day one. Why was he lying? Because he funded those studies at the Wuhan lab, and he funded the studies at the University of North Carolina that developed the techniques for weaponizing COVID-19." "And then [he] gave those to Ralph Baric, his funded scientist at the University of North Carolina, gave those to Shi Zhengli, the scientist, the 'bat lady' scientist in the Wuhan lab.

America and Australia run on diesel and it is running out fast - cairnsnews.org

The US is running low on diesel just like Australia because Liberal and Labor ideology allowed refineries to disappear and they want you to vote for them? With diesel at $2.50 a litre food and general freight is too expensive and inflation has gone through the roof A lack of refineries not oil is controlling the supply of diesel By Mike Adams, Natural News The most important number in the American economy right now is not the stock market, the jobs report, or even the price of crude oil. It is the diesel crack spread — now $102 over crude. That figure is so far outside historical norms that it does not represent a market correction. It represents a structural collapse in fuel supply. The economy runs on diesel, you see, not oil. Crude is just a raw material. But diesel is what moves food, medicine, construction materials, and every physical good in this country. When diesel breaks, everything breaks. And the crack spread — the canary in this economic coal mine — just died. The crack …

If the US is "good" why has the price of diesel gone up so much in the last six months. As far as making biodiesel, a typical pickup has a 25 gallon tank, how much running around are you going to have to do to get that much used cooking oil or wood alcohol? And then do that every week or so to fill your tank?

Tragic Suicide of Italian 🌈-Priest, 75

Italian priest Lino Zatelli, 75, killed himself on August 12. He had been parish priest of San Carlo Borromeo in Trento for a quarter of a century.
He was found dead inside the rectory of his parish after he didn’t show up to celebrate the Eucharist.
Corriere del Trentino reported the death as a voluntary act.
Two months earlier he had learned that he would have to leave San Carlo in November for another pastoral assignment. Zatelli publicly said he had not asked to leave.
Sad detail: During his Easter homily, Don Zatelli preached about Judas's suicide. He discussed Judas as someone overwhelmed by despair who could no longer see beyond the obstacle before him, but emphasized Christ's forgiveness and imagined Jesus ultimately embracing Judas in heaven.
Eucharists Beyond Rubrics
A 2019 interview called him the “eternal bad boy of the Trentino Church.”
A November 2020 profile describes Zatelli as working in a kind of laboratory parish.
His Eucharists went beyond formulas and interpreted …More

We are obliged to pray for all of the lost, but the point is clear - current theological aberrations are poisoning the Faith and the Faithful. We are being led by those who "are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, yet truly, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth." Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

"Remove St. John' Passion from Lectionary" - Jewish Woman New President of Catholic Biblical Association

On July 20, at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore, the 88th Annual Meeting of the Catholic Biblical Association (CBA) elected Amy-Jill Levine, 70, as president for 2026–2027.
She is the first Jewish president in the CBA’s history.
Founded in 1936, the CBA is an independent association with longstanding institutional ties to the U.S. bishops. Its constitution says it pursues biblical scholarship “in conformity with the teaching of the magisterium of the Catholic Church.”
Levine is a New Testament scholar and is a longtime member of the CBA. In spring 2019, she became the first Jewish scholar to teach New Testament at Rome’s Pontifical Biblical Institute. She has also had three audiences with Pope Francis.
In a sermon at Washington National Cathedral on March 7, 2021, Levine said: “I’m a Jew. I don’t worship Jesus as Lord and Savior.”

It was October 2023, and Donald Trump was due at a New York City courthouse to fight his latest set of legal troubles. But as the motorcade idled outside his Trump Tower residence, staffers confronted a more immediate problem: There wasn’t room for Harp, the hyper-loyal aide whose devotion to Trump had quickly entrenched her within his orbit. A screaming match in the lobby ensued, with Harp insisting that Trump had personally asked her to attend the court appearance, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Depressive German 🌈-Bishop Retires at 66

Today, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Bishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann, 66, of Speyer, Germany, due to health reasons.
He had led the Diocese of Speyer since March 2008.
Bishop Wiesemann said that "the burden of the extensive responsibility has taken a serious physical and psychological toll on me."
Depression and Health
Bishop Wiesemann had previously suffered from depression. In 2021, he withdrew from his duties for about seven months for health reasons, including inpatient treatment.
He later publicly identified the illness as depression.
In May 2026, he spoke about his experience at the Katholikentag in Würzburg during an event on depression and mental health.
He attributed his depression to prolonged pressures including the demands of episcopal office, financial and structural problems in the diocese and, above all, the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis.
Pro-Homosexual Bishop
Bishop Wiesemann was among the German bishops supporting changes in the Church's approach to homosexuality …More
