Leo XIV downplayed tensions with President Donald Trump on the flight to Luanda, Angola, today. “The talk that I gave at the prayer meeting for peace was prepared two weeks ago, well before the president ever commented. And yet it was looked at as if I was trying to debate again the president, which is not in my interest at all.” Leo XIV added that “much of what has been written since then has been more commentary on commentary, trying to interpret what has been said.”
“A certain narrative has spread, not entirely accurate, because of the political situation that arose when, on the first day of the journey, the President of the United States made some remarks about me. Much of what has been written since then has been little more than commentary upon commentary, in an attempt to interpret what was said. One example is the address delivered at the Prayer Meeting for Peace on 16 April. That address had been prepared two weeks earlier, well before the President commented on me and on the message of peace I am promoting. And yet it was interpreted as though I were trying to engage once again in debate with the President, which is not at all my interest. I come to Africa primarily as a pastor, as Head of the Catholic Church, to be with, to celebrate with, to encourage and to accompany all African Catholics.”
Having already appointed several syncretic bishops, and just days after describing a mosque as a “divine, sacred space,” Leo XIV condemned syncretism in words. During the Eucharist in Bamenda, Cameroon, on 16 April, he cautioned against “falling into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature.”
Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon: “Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”

As part of Milan Art Week, an exhibition on homosexuality titled “Ritratto di famiglie” opened on April 14 at a public library in Milan. It purports to present “family stories” through photos and personal messages, but actually features homosexuals. The event includes workshops for children aged 5 to 10. The organization Pro Vita & Famiglia described the initiative as “ideological propaganda.”

Mercoledì 22 aprile aprile, presso la Biblioteca comunale Oglio di Milano, si terrà la mostra lgbtq+ e gender fluid, che dedicherà uno spazio laboratoriale ai bambini di età compresa tra i 5 e i 10 anni. L'esibizione fotografica è stata aperta al pubblico lo scorso martedì 14 aprile e verrà ospitata, nell’ambito della Milano Art Week, fino al prossimo 24 aprile.

SUNDAY OF THE MYRRH-BEARING WOMEN Kontakion O CHRIST GOD, when You greeted the Ointment-Bearing Women, You wiped away the tears of our first mother, Eve, and told the women to bring the news to the Disciples that Christ was risen from the tomb.
Kontakion Ô CHRIST DIEU, lorsque Vous avez accueilli les femmes porteuses de parfums, Vous avez essuyé les larmes de notre première mère, Ève, et Vous avez demandé aux femmes d’annoncer aux disciples que le Christ était ressuscité du tombeau.
Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Michele Morandi as the new Bishop of Faenza-Modigliana, an Italian diocese with 130,000 Catholics and 80 parishes. Born in Alfonsine, Italy, in 1976, he was ordained a priest in 2003 and has served as a parish priest, rector of the diocesan seminary and vicar general of the diocese. Closed Seminary Is "Excellent Starting Point" As rector of the seminary, he wrote in 2024 for the 70 anniversary of the large seminary building in Faenza. The seminarians now study in Bologna. The building is called the 'former seminary' and used as a library, a school, a workplace and an art space, and has become a "secular place". For Monsignor Morandi, this was an "excellent starting point", as from that moment on, things were "no longer tainted by clerical and collegial imagery or clouded by a curtain of incense." Identification with the Synodal Process Monsignor Morandi took part in the Italian Church’s national synodal assembly in Rome. In a diocesan article from 2025…níos mó

From Pope Francis, the idea of synodality remains - that is, the notion that the Church is a process of listening, consultation and struggle, Austrian Jesuit Andreas Batlogg told Kirche-und-Leben.de on 17 April. He has written several books about Francis, including an early biography. Regarding the 2019 Amazon Synod, Father Batlogg said that Francis had come close to abolishing celibacy: "Then there was massive backlash. And he slowed down." Something similar happened with the Synod on Synodality, which concluded without a final document. The internal division within the Church under Francis has become "very deep": "There was open resistance, not just behind the scenes." With Leo XIV, however, there has been "more of a shift in tone than a break in substance", according to Fr Batlogg. Leo XIV presents himself as calmer and more controlled, with a greater focus on clarity and a more traditional demeanour: "However, these are initially matters of style."

18.04.2026 The SSPX maintains the separation of Church and State, a leftist concept. Since they use the New Theology created with the False Premise they have collegiality, with the liberals. With the New Theology they are liberals on Ecumenism and Inter-Religious Dialogue, like the pope and the cardinals and bishops. Cushingism is liberalism and schism. They cite Tradition but in Tradition there were no separation between state and Church. Presently Pope Leo is aligned with the leftist state. They interpret Vatican Council II as does Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium. EG mentions hypothetical cases as if they are visible and personally known people, in the present times saved outside the Catholic Church. Ad Gentes 7 is not mentioned and it is assumed that Vatican Council II has explicit exceptions for AG 7 and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is the common irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II. APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION EVANGELII GAUDIUM OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS …níos mó

Just war not ‘a blank check for violence’ and pope is ‘guardian of conscience,’ says bishop (OSV News) — On April 15, Auxiliary Bishop James Massa of Brooklyn, chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, issued a statement clarifying the Catholic Church’s teaching on just war. The statement came as President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials have publicly challenged Pope Leo XIV’s calls for peace amid the U.S.-Israel war on Iran and other conflicts. OSV News spoke at length with Bishop Massa regarding just war doctrine.
Obispos estadounidenses explican la teoría de la guerra justa a JD Vance El episcopado estadounidense ha salido al paso del vicepresidente JD Vance después de que este pidiera públicamente al Papa León XIV «tener cuidado» al hablar de teología. El obispo James Massa, presidente del Comité de Doctrina de la Conferencia Episcopal de Estados Unidos, ha emitido un comunicado que aclara el sentido de la enseñanza tradicional de la Iglesia sobre la guerra justa y reafirma la autoridad magisterial del Romano Pontífice cuando se dirige a la Iglesia universal. hmtv
Just war not ‘a blank check for violence’ and … OSV News: Based on recent comments from Pope Leo XIV and various bishops, is it fair to say the Catholic Church’s teaching on just war doctrine is at heart a call for peace? Bishop James Massa: Absolutely. Just war theory is always meant to make war, the legitimate use of force, a last resort defense of people. When an aggressor has caused some grave, lasting, certain harm, and then when all other options have failed — peaceful options, negotiations, diplomacy, etc. — and when there’s a real chance of success, those are the criteria. And that’s called “jus ad velum,” Latin for “just reasons for going to war.” And then the other big condition that’s very important is that the fighting and the actual use of force will not cause worse evils than the harm you’re trying to stop. So clearly, going back to St. Augustine and his teacher St. Ambrose, and St. Thomas Aquinas, who brings it to another level — just war theory is never a blank …níos mó

Check out Putin making the old masonic hand sign in the beginning. Oh! Sorry he was fixing his jacket. This is why I laugh over people posting such ridiculous posts and meme's with nothing but propaganda. Russia’s defence ministry has warned that increased European support for Ukraine’s drone programme risks escalating the conflict, after publishing a list of sites across Europe allegedly linked to UAV production. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggested the list could represent potential targets, raising concerns about a broader confrontation. The warning comes as the European Union moves ahead with a €90 billion loan package, with the first tranche set to fund Ukrainian-made drones, according to Andrius Kubilius. NATO is also expected to provide additional military support, as noted by Mark Rutte, signalling a shift toward sustained, large-scale defence backing for Kyiv.
