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.”

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…Dugang pa

On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …Dugang pa
Still, as Skaespeare tells us, "give the devil his due." The Pope was clearly attempting to dampen things down, which was a wise move. Perhaps President Trump will respond in kind, and both men can get back to doing their primary jobs.
Imam Invoces Allah During Meeting in Cathedral with Leo XIV: On 16 April, Pope Leo XIV presided over an interreligious peace meeting inside St Joseph's Cathedral in Bamenda, Cameroon. El Hadj Mohammed Aboubakar, the chief imam of Buea, gave a speech on behalf of the Muslim community and greeted Leo XIV with the Islamic greeting, As-salāmu ʿalaykum, adding: "I greet you in the name of Allah, who is most compassionate, the most merciful".

Mandatory vaccinations are no longer a “conspiracy theory” they’re shoving it down everyone’s throat with new laws and penalties that will make your blood run cold. This is about total CONTROL. They’re testing the waters in Europe first because once the sheep there are locked in, the blueprint spreads like wildfire. Next stop: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and every other “free” Western nation that still pretends to value bodily autonomy.

For exactly 39 minutes, this crowd of 200,000 to 300,000 people waited for a Habemus Papam that never came, when Vatican Radio announced categorically that no Pope had been elected and that it was ending its special broadcast: it was 6:32 p.m.! The spotlights illuminating the chimney of the Sistine Chapel had been turned off, and everyone went home as if nothing had happened, since Vatican Radio, before going off the air, had specified that the conclave was continuing and that the fourth ballot would take place the next day at 10 a.m. It was over!

Historic church engulfed in flames in Quebec, Canada | Shalom World News A historic church in Saint-Romain, Quebec, Canada, was destroyed by a major fire on Monday evening, marking a significant loss for the small rural community. The blaze rapidly engulfed the structure, and within an hour, the church’s bell tower collapsed. Authorities say the building is likely a total loss. According to Quebec's cultural heritage records, construction of the church began in 1934. Designed by architect Joseph-Aimé Poulin, the church had long served as a spiritual and cultural landmark in the village, which is home to around 700 residents. Residents expressed deep sorrow over the destruction, noting the sacrifices made by earlier generations to build the church with limited means. “It’s extremely sad for all the families who contributed their meager resources,” one resident said. Officials have launched an investigation into the cause of the fire, but preliminary indications suggest there is no …Dugang pa
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 …Dugang pa

Camus @newstart_2024 The CIA can remotely take over your car and drive it into a bridge at 140 mph. That’s just one of the revelations from the 2017 Vault 7 leaks, according to former CIA officer John Kiriakou. A disgruntled CIA engineer allegedly dumped thousands of pages of the agency’s most advanced hacking tools to WikiLeaks. The documents showed the CIA had developed ways to: - Hack your car’s computer and seize control - Turn your “off” smart TV into a live microphone - And much more that makes the old MKUltra programs look primitive. Kiriakou says it’s terrifying what the agency is now technologically capable of.
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.”

"The Living Light therefore speaks with the secret word of Wisdom: God is full and whole and beyond the beginning of time, and therefore he cannot be divided or analysed by words as a human being can. God is a whole and nothing other than a whole, to which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be taken away. For he-who-is is both paternity and divinity, since it is said ‘I am who I am’. 2 And he-who-is is fullness itself. How is this to be understood? By his activity, creativity and perfection."
