James Martin SJ Wants the Church to Ordain [More] Homosexual Priests: Homosexual activist Fr James Martin SJ has called on Pope Leo XIV to remove the – largely unenforced – restrictions against "celibate homosexuals" to become priests. Fr Martin believes that "sexual orientation" alone should not stop a man from being ordained. He points to Pope Francis, who said there are already many "holy, healthy and celibate" homosexual priests. However, in 2005 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger concluded that men with deep-seated homosexual temptations should not enter the seminary because they lack the emotional maturity needed for lifelong celibacy.
Abortion pills are every abuser’s dream. A few clicks. A package in the mail. A baby’s life is ended. A woman left to suffer alone. (Video from “Students for Life”—whose leaders earn enormous salaries)
"A woman left to suffer alone." . While this is the most common situation, please never overlook the fact that men's reproductive rights are completely and fully abrogated and usurped by women and by law. A woman may kill a man's son or daughter with complete impunity, no recourse for the father, and typically no sympathy or support for the father.
Unconscionable and unthinkable that this used to be the land of the free and home of the brave. America is now the home of baby murder. I think the Students for Life leaders earn every penny they get and more.

Did you know that there were Catholic Samurais? Meet Justo Ukon Takayama. He was a feudal lord and samurai in 16th-century Japan. When the Shogun banned Christianity, Takayama refused to renounce his faith. He abandoned his status, wealth, and samurai position, choosing exile and poverty over apostasy. He is now a Blessed in the Catholic Church, on the path to being declared a saint.
Catholicism enhances cultures. Perfects them. This is the only reason our Lord would allow "colonization". And as our Lady of Guadalupe reminds us, she keeps colonization on the right track.
Young Catholics in Brazil are expressing a desire for deeper faith formation, greater emphasis on holiness, and well-celebrated liturgy, while also voicing frustration with what they see as an excessive focus on sociopolitical issues in the Church, according to a national survey presented to the Brazilian Bishops' Conference (CNBB). The 2025 survey, conducted by the CNBB's Episcopal Commission for Youth with academic partners, gathered responses from more than 11,000 Catholics aged 12 to 29 across Brazil. It used a voluntary online questionnaire rather than a representative random sample. According to the partial results (document below), holiness and the Christian faith were the most frequently cited topics of interest among respondents. Many also expressed a desire for stronger formation in Catholic teaching, greater emphasis on Scripture and the Eucharist, and well-celebrated liturgy. Asked what makes participation in the Church more difficult, respondents most often pointed to a lack …Дукха
The Vatican on July 22 denied reports circulating on blogs and social media that Father Marko Rupnik, the former Jesuit accused by several women religious of sexual abuse, had been acquitted.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said today that “reports of any deliberation by the judges following the case of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik are absolutely unfounded.” He said the evaluation is still ongoing and the panel is examining documentation from the dioceses involved, the Jesuits, interested parties, and the press. “During the trial, as with any judicial proceeding, no information regarding ongoing activity can be shared in any way, out of respect for the trial itself and to avoid harming anyone involved.” Bruni added that the canonical criminal proceeding “may provide guidance regarding guilt or innocence in accordance with Canon Law,” while Rupnik remains subject to the civil laws and statutes of limitations of the countries where any crimes were allegedly committed. Meanwhile, Laura Sgrò - the lawyer representing five women accusing Rupnik - said the Vatican process has been almost completely opaque. She told the Associated Press that, as of July 2026, her clients had never been …Дукха
Italian journalist Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatina.it is standing by his reporting on the Vatican's canonical trial of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik after the Holy See denied reports that the judges had reached a decision. Yesterday, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni called claims of any judicial deliberation "absolutely unfounded." However, Casalini argues today that the Vatican refuted something his publication never claimed. His sources indicated that certain allegations had been removed from the proceedings because they lacked sufficient evidence or did not constitute offenses under Canon Law - not that a final verdict had been reached. "The question," Casalini writes, "is whether our report is unfounded, or whether the only unfounded claim - one we never made - is that a final judgment has already been reached." Casalini's most striking point concerns a recent conversation with Rupnik. He says a mutual acquaintance spoke with the former Jesuit about twenty days ago, during which Rupnik …Дукха

The former Catholic seminary and boarding school in Bay Shore, New York, is set to become a Muslim boarding school, reports LiBn.com on July 15. The United American Muslim Association (UAMA) purchased the building for $5.2 million. The 6,500-square-metre centre, founded in 1926 by the Montfort Missionaries, was used to train priests before later serving as a retreat house. Pending approval of a zoning change, the new owners intend to establish an Islamic boarding school for up to 120 boys. According to its website, UAMA aims to provide an education in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. However, local residents have organised opposition to the proposal, with many displaying 'NO Boarding School' signs throughout the neighbourhood. Picture: Google street view, #newsAjnqxreavu
Archbishop Georg Gänswein, currently Nuncio to the Baltic States, praised Pope Leo XIV and U.S. President Donald Trump while attacking Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with DomRadio.de on July 22. Monsignor Gänswein said Pope Leo XIV has brought "a new sense of relief" to the Church. "Peace is the key word," he believes. "From his very first address, Pope Leo placed the peace of the Risen Christ at the center of his message." According to the nuncio, the Pope's emphasis on peace has [allegedly] transformed the atmosphere. "It has turned headwinds into tailwinds. Whether that wind will change again remains impossible to predict." Bond with Pope Benedict XVI Reflecting on his years alongside Benedict XVI, Archbishop Gänswein said their relationship developed from a professional one into a close personal friendship. "We not only worked together but also lived under one roof and spent every day together," he recalled. "During the ten years after his resignation, our relationship …Дукха

Cotignac Shrines Survive Devastating Wildfire: A major wildfire in southeastern France burned more than 2,500 hectares, destroyed around 60 homes, forced the evacuation of 500 people, and injured four people. Although the flames came within meters of the pilgrimage sites of Our Lady of Graces and Saint Joseph of Cotignac, both sanctuaries were left undamaged, thanks in part to firefighters and vegetation-clearing efforts.
Cardinal Cupich: “Viewing synodality through the lens of dance rescues this unfamiliar word and concept from the realm of dry bureaucracy, committees and paperwork. It reframes the communal journey as something dynamic, joyful and deeply incarnational.”
“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV
