The German Bishops’ Conference gave Leo XIV a "very clear vote in favor of the female diaconate", Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg told Mainpost.de on May 19. Now it is up to Leo XIV "to decide how things proceed," Bishop Jung added. The issue remains on the agenda and, in his view, it will "not be pushed aside from anytime soon".

"Those who excommunicate us have themselves been excommunicated for a long time.Why? Because they are modernists. It is these people, imbued with modernist principles, who excommunicate us, even though they themselves were excommunicated by Pope Saint Pius X."
Firing Squads Expose the Brutality of the Death Penalty May 18, 2026 nytimes.com/…opinion/death-penalty-firing-squad-e… By Maurice Chammah Mr. Chammah is a staff writer at The Marshall Project and the author of “Let the Lord Sort Them: The Rise and Fall of the Death Penalty.” There is no tidy way to kill someone. But for the last century, Americans have searched for a way to carry out the death penalty that minimizes suffering while lessening trauma for executioners and witnesses. Those efforts have gone so poorly that we’re returning to a visceral execution method from the past. Last month, the Justice Department encouraged federal prison officials to consider execution by firing squad amid a nationwide struggle to secure lethal injection drugs. South Carolina has already used firing squads three times recently, placing a hood over the prisoner’s head and firing rifles at a red bull’s-eye placed over the heart. Four other states have authorized the method, and Idaho is renovating…More
1 Peter 5 posts the full February 12, 2026 interview of canon lawyer Marc Balestrieri JCL by Matt Gaspers. A lot of ground was covered: Are episcopal consecrations conducted without papal approval intrinsically schismatic? Does canon law say anything about cases of “necessity”? Could a canonical case be made that the men involved would not be liable to automatic excommunication due to their sincere belief that they acted out of necessity? Will SSPX priests still have the faculties necessary for the sacraments of Penance and Matrimony following the unauthorized consecrations?
When Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), consecrated four bishops in 1988 against the will of Pope John Paul II, he famously referred to his act as “Operation Survival” during his sermon for the occasion: It is not for me to know when Tradition will regain its rights at Rome, but I think it is my duty to provide the means of doing that which I shall call ‘Operation Survival,’ operation survival for Tradition. Today, this day, is ‘Operation Survival.’ If I had made this deal with Rome, by continuing with the agreements we had signed [see here for context], and by putting them into practice, I would have performed ‘Operation Suicide.’ There was no choice, we must live! This past February, current SSPX Superior General Fr. Davide Pagliarani decided that the time has come for the SSPX to consecrate more bishops, after writing to Pope Leo XIV and receiving no answer: “We believe that the time has come to think about the future of the Society of …
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes All this used to be underwater Lake Mead is on the border between Nevada and Arizona and it’s water levels are now critically low. There are many Data Centers that have been put in the Lake Mead area and draw directly from the lake - Google’s Henderson data center consumed roughly 352 million gallons in one year. It directly pulls from the Lake Mead sourced municipal supply - Flexential Data Center facility used around 20 million gallons in one year - Other Data Centers in the area collectively used over 716 million gallons in 2024, with nearly all the water drawing from Colorado River and Lake Mead sources Pair this with droughts, water demand from agriculture and resident use and now there is almost nothing left… just look at this…. The lake is only at about 32% capacity Why is this being allowed ?
Fabio on the illegal immigrant crisis in Europe: "Everything is free for them. The law doesn't apply to them. Jails are full; they get arrested, released the next day, commit more crimes, and they get away with murder every day."
21.05.2026 NOVUS ORDO PRIESTS IN ROME INDICATE THAT FERNANDEZ IS IN SCHISM WITH VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL WHICH SUPPORTS TRADITION The priests in the Prenestina, Rome area say that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2. GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical and invisible cases. They agree with me. For me, this indicates that Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez are in schism with the pre-1949 Magisterium. There are no explicit exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II rational (LG 16 invisible) for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed and the ecclesiocentric ecclesiology of the Roman Missal of the Latin Mass. So the Council really supports the traditionalists like the St. Benedict Center, the Society of St. Pius X and the Franciscans of the Immaculate. But the Vatican will excommunicate the traditionalists who do not accept Vatican Council II irrational and the accompanying ‘liberal reforms ‘based upon the irrational interpretation of the Council. It is Cardinal …More
^2 May I humbly suggest to make me a king of Europe, perhaps?! My first concern will be then to get a Catholic pope. The second one will be to help everybody to become a good Catholic.

Israel police force Gaza flotilla activists to kneel hands tied Israeli police forced activists who were aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla to kneel on the ground in rows with their hands tied behind their backs while a minister looked on, drawing criticism from foreign leaders and even from inside Israel's government.
Israelische Polizei zwingt Gaza-Flottillen-Aktivisten mit gefesselten Händen in die Knie Ein Video des israelischen Polizeiminister Itamar Ben-Gvir, das Gaza-Aktivisten in demütigender Weise zeigt, hat für große Empörung in mehreren europäischen Außenministerien gesorgt. Auch der israelische Chefdiplomat Gideon Saar sowie Regierungschef Benjamin Netanjahu reagierten mit deutlichen Worten auf den Videopost Ben-Gvirs auf der Plattform X. Die Bundesregierung kritisierte das Verhalten des Ministers ebenfalls scharf. Diverse Staaten protestierten angesichts des Videos, mehrere Länder bestellten die israelischen Botschafter ein. Außenminister Johann Wadephul sagte der dpa, das Verhalten Ben-Gvirs sei "vollkommen inakzeptabel". "Es widerspricht den Werten, für die Deutschland mit Israel gemeinsam stehen will, fundamental", so der CDU-Politiker. Er sei seinem israelischen Amtskollegen Saar dankbar "für die klaren Worte, die er für dieses unsägliche Verhalten gefunden hat". Zuvor hatte der …More
Israel Minister Taunts Pro-Palestinian Flotilla Activists in Video nytimes.com/…minister-taunts-pro-palestine-activi… The national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, posted a video in which he is seen with handcuffed activists forced to kneel on the deck of a ship. It drew a rebuke from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel’s far-right national security minister posted a video of himself Wednesday taunting detained pro-Palestinian activists while they were handcuffed and pinned down to the deck of a ship, drawing outrage both abroad and at home — including from his ally Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the minute-long video released by the minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, at least one of the detainees can be seen being manhandled by police officers on Tuesday while the Israeli national anthem is heard playing. It brought swift and rare criticism from Mr. Netanyahu. The caption of the video read: “This is how we receive terror supporters. Welcome to Israel.” The activists were …More
The way he is talking, sounds like Ilhan Omar will not be prosecuted. Let's wait and see what happens. But I already have huge doubts she will be. So I won't be expecting anything to come of it.

Acts 25:13-21 "A certain Jesus who had died but who Paul claimed was alive." It is wonderful; life continues in Christ. John 21:15-19 Jesus specifically tells Peter: "Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep." And the same message is for us as well. Let us allow the sheep to become free by revealing to them that they are loved by God. Jesus is the First Shepherd, and we lead the sheep to him.

Worse than Germany: Bishop Vincenzo Viva of Albano, Italy, spoke on May 16 at the Parish of Santa Maria Stella during a homosexual "prayer", as Outreach.faith reports. Main quotes, slightly shortened while preserving his pro-homosexual tone. - For the first time, the Diocese of Albano is holding a "prayer vigil" against homophobia and transphobia, recognizing the "suffering" these attitudes have caused within both the Church and society. - This diocese wants to continue this effort alongside other dioceses in Italy, moving forward cautiously but deliberately, inspired by the recent Synodal process. - The day when it is no longer necessary to hold vigils like this will be the day when every person is recognized - and I use this word with full awareness and deliberation - as a living, original, irreplaceable part of the Body of Christ. - I do not wish to speak this evening of welcoming, but of recognition and full integration. - Welcoming presupposes that someone arrives from the outside …More
Ah -- and the "city of seven hills" will be no more as prophesied! These apostate clerics will be the cause of the city of Rome being destroyed because of its sexual filth!
The sodomite heretics quote themselves. Meanwhile, so many priests, bishops, and laypeople who claim to defend the Church perpetuate this farce by recognizing the head of this gay mafia—which rebels against God— as their Pope.
A calendar featuring close-ups of young, handsome priests has been a popular Rome souvenir for two decades. However, many of those photographed aren't actually priests.
