Vatican Sponsors Subversion of the Faith: The report of the Synod’s study group number 9 attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts "by stigmatizing that teaching as the expression of an obsolete ‘paradigm’ that no longer can be relied upon to communicate God’s will to His people," wrote Rev. Gerald Murray in TheCatholicThing.org: "This Vatican-sponsored destructive subversion must come to an end now."

‘Synodal Shepherds’ Attack the Sheep - The Catholic Thing

The Catholic Church is accustomed to attacks upon her teaching. The history of heresy over the centuries reveals the never-ending efforts of those who seek to replace Catholic doctrine with various errors. What the Church has only recently become accustomed to is attacks upon her teaching coming from some of her shepherds, especially from the never-ending pronouncements emanating from the office of the Synod of Bishops.
The latest imposition of the Synod is the recently published full-fledged endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle in the
Final Report of Study Group Number 9 “Theological Criteria and Synodal Methodologies for Shared Discernment of Emerging Doctrinal, Pastoral, and Ethical Issues.”
This report attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts – and the disordered nature of the homosexual inclination – by stigmatizing that teaching as the expression of an obsolete “paradigm” that no longer can be relied upon to communicate God’s will …

Bishop calls on the faithful to pray, mobilize against France’s assisted suicide bill – Allah's Willing Executioners

Bishop Marc Aillet of Bayonne, Lescar and Oloron, France, issued an urgent appeal to Catholics across his diocese — and by extension, all people of good will — to actively oppose the country’s controversial “assisted dying” bill as it heads to a decisive Senate vote next week.
In a
statement titled “Thou shalt not kill” released Wednesday, the bishop urged prayer, fasting, and direct civic engagement to defend what he observes to be the foundational prohibition against killing human beings that remains necessary for civilized society.
Bishop Aillet, a respected traditional voice in the French episcopate known for his emphasis on moral theology, priestly formation, and fidelity to Church teaching, framed the legislation as nothing less than “a major anthropological rupture.”
The bill, which passed the National Assembly on February 25 by a 299-226 margin, seeks to legalize both assisted suicide and euthanasia. It now faces public debate in the Senate from May 11 to 13, with a solemn …

Fr. Gerald E. Murray on EWTN: "And the document, the report of study group number nine is horrific. I'll say that quite clearly. I've read that document. I find it to be a subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality. And this is a really, really crucial moment for the church because. The program of subversion in plain sight of Catholic teaching on the immoral nature of homosexual activity and the disordered nature of the homosexual inclination, this is a number one target for some people in the church. And sad to say, the Synod office is now just another public relations arm of that pressure group."

Mother’s Day Promises to Keep, and Miles to Go Before I Sleep — Beyond These Stone Walls

Honoring Mom on Mother’s Day brought me to Robert Frost’s most famous poem and its deepest meaning about life, loss, and hope.
You may remember a post I wrote a few years ago entitled “
A Corner of the Veil.” It was about my mother, Sophie Kavanagh MacRae, who died on November 5, 2006 during my 12th year in prison. That hasn’t stopped her from visiting, however. I had a strange dream about her a few nights ago, and I keep going back to it trying to find some meaning that at first eluded me.
The United Kingdom celebrates Mothering Sunday on the Fourth Sunday of Lent, but in North America, Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday of May. I wonder if that was what prompted my vivid dream. It was in three dimensions, sort of like looking through one of those stereoscopic View Masters we had long ago. Pop in a disk of images and there they were in three dimensions and living color. My dream was like that, even the color — which is strange because I am colorblind since birth. My rods and cones …

Vatican Misrepresenting 'Courage' - Like Secular Media: The Vatican’s recent final report of the Synodal group on “emerging issues” [=homosexuality] drew criticism from 'Courage International'. This group helps homosexuals to live according to the teachings of the Church. In a May 8 statement, 'Courage' said the Vatican's report had committed “both calumny and detraction against the organization and its members.” Courage rejected claims that it engages in 'reparative therapy' and said that Synod officials could have clarified the matter by consulting its leadership rather than relying on one individual’s testimony. The organisation also expressed sadness that such criticism had appeared in an official Vatican document rather than from secular critics.

On Friday, Leo XIV. visited Naples Cathedral. Shortly before his arrival, the blood of Saint Januarius reportedly liquefied off-schedule. The miracle traditionally occurs three times a year and has also been linked to earlier papal visits, including that of Pius IX in 1848. During visits by John Paul II in 1979 and Benedict XVI in 2007, the miracle did not occur. Francis witnessed a partial liquefaction in 2015.

War in Iran. Key Developments, April 24: A “Neither Peace Nor War” Stalemate. Iran Holds All the Cards—the U.S. Is Digging Its Own Grave
The war in the Middle East has entered a “neither peace nor war” phase, but this is precisely where the U.S. seems to have miscalculated: by maintaining the blockade, they are themselves provoking a rise in oil prices, putting pressure on their own economy, and strengthening Iran’s role as the controller of key routes. Trump’s “unwavering” stance isn’t working; all the trump cards are in Iran’s hands—and the US is digging its own grave.

Statement from Claire Elyse Brosseau on her decision to seek emergency relief to receive MAID | Dying With Dignity Canada

Toronto, Monday, May 4, 2026… My name is Claire Brosseau. I am the applicant in a constitutional challenge against the Government of Canada. I have been diagnosed with a severe form of bipolar I disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, among other mental disorders. Over the past three decades, I have tried a wide variety of medications and treatments for my mental illness. Despite these efforts, my mental illness just continues to get worse. I have reached the limit of my ability to live like this — in a state of unrelenting suffering.
Current MAID law discriminates against people like me. In anticipation of my litigation, I was assessed and found eligible for MAID, but I cannot access this legal medical service just because my illness is a mental illness. If my suffering were from a physical condition, I could be eligible for MAID. They are drawing a distinction that is stigmatizing, paternalistic and without any valid justification. That is discrimination.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller on “fraudulent and blasphemous Blessings”:
“The heretical relativization of natural and sacramental marriage is openly welcomed,” Cardinal Müller told PerMariam.com regarding the final report of the Vatican's synodal study group on homosexuality.
“They do not openly deny the revealed truths. But they ignore them and build their own house of a comfortable and worldly-conforming Christianity alongside them.”
Cardinal Müller also stated: “The private or even paraliturgical blessing of same-sex and opposite-sex couples in irregular relationships is based on the heretical denial of the revealed truth that God created human beings as man and woman.”
Cardinal Müller further described such blessings as “fraudulent and blasphemous blessings.”

Cardinal Müller: Synod's homosexuality report leads to ‘heretical relativization’ of marriage
The prominent German cardinal roundly slated the latest text to emerge from the Synod, as well as any proposals for blessing of same-sex unions.
VATICAN CITY (
PerMariam) — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has issued a blistering critique of the latest study group report from the Synod on Synodality and its platforming of anti-Catholic, pro-homosexual ideology.
The great welcome form LGBT advocates to the Synod Study Group 9’s recent report, is – says Cdl. Müller – greatly revealing. The report’s text highlights how “the heretical relativization of natural and sacramental marriage is openly welcomed.”
Such a move, adds the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “is portrayed as the first step toward the recognition of LGBT ideology, which advocates nothing other than a materialistic view of humanity without God, the Creator, Redeemer, and Perfecter of humankind.”

Digging into denialism: Emily Enns wins the 2026 Peter Mansbridge Investigative Writing Award

The Master of Journalism student earned the award for investigating the roots of residential school denialism and highlighting Indigenous resilience through on-the-ground reporting in Kamloops, B.C.
When Emily Enns began exploring a story about the replacement of existing Canadian street names with Indigenous ones for her second-year
Master of Journalism (MJ) investigative journalism project, she did not expect it to lead her into one of the nation’s more contentious historical debates.
While researching, she came across an online rant opposing street-name changes in Winnipeg. What surprised her was not the content but that it was written by a professor at her alma mater, the University of Manitoba (UM). Curious, she began looking more closely at the professor’s work, which led her to writings that downplayed the impact of the residential school system.
Enns soon discovered that some of the most visible disseminators of residential school denialism were not fringe commentators but …

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he told Pope Leo XIV on May 7 that Iran poses “a danger to the world, which is largely recognized.” He also described the Vatican meeting as “very cordial and important,” downplaying suggestions of animosity between the US and the Holy See.

Sec Marco Rubio: "I expressed to them on the situation with Iran, expressed our point of view about why this was an important and the danger that Iran posed us to the world, which is largely recognized." "The Holy Father is a spiritual leader, he's the first and foremost, that's his role to play, and obviously the church has always interacted on behalf of a mission for peace and a respect for all of humanity." "But at the end, it was very cordial and important meeting, and it's important to share our points of view and an explanation and an understanding of where we're coming from, and I thought it was very positive."

Mr. Rubio is mistaken; the real global danger (not for bodies but for souls) is that Satan is now sitting on the Throne of Peter and no one realizes it, treating him as if he were the Vicar of Christ.

Israel is taking out the last remaining residential towers in Gaza to make it impossible for the remaining Palestinians to live there and turning them into refugees.

One of the most terrifying attacks carried out by Israel, where it completely destroyed the Mashteha Tower within a matter of seconds, as it is considered one of the largest and most beautiful towers in Gaza, and houses thousands of families living in it, despite the thousands of tents that were located on every side of this tower, aircraft launched no less than 6 deadly missiles that resulted in thousands of lethal shrapnel fragments, which led to the destruction of thousands of tents that were the only shelter for the families. This is not just a war, this is genocide.

It is fake because the intent is to show the evil Jews destroying the housing for good Palestinian people,the building was obviously in need of demolition to make the area safe even for the Arabs. I am no friend of the Jew nor am I his enemy , but I think it is unfair that so many have a knee jerk reaction and blame nearly everything on Zionism etc. the real problem in the world is so many turning their backs to God regardless of race.

Polish Bishop Reprimands Priest for Criticizing Pro-Homosexual Cardinal

The Polish priest Beniamin Sęktas (ordained in 2020) from the Diocese of Drohiczyn in eastern Poland publicly called for the resignation of Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, 62, of Krakow.
Pope Leo XIV had promoted the pro-homosexual Cardinal Ryś from Łódź to Krakow in November 2025.
In an open letter published in mid-December 2025, Rev. Sęktas asked the Cardinal to resign. He called Cardinal Ryś a “public collaborator of rainbow Catholics.”
Furthermore, Rev. Sęktas noted that Cardinal Ryś promotes extraordinary lay ministers to distribute Communion.
The letter included statements such as:
“You continue to shock and scandalize many Catholics”
“the cynical face of an activist seeking the applause of opinion-forming elites”
Bishop Henryk Sawczuk of Drohiczyn summoned Rev. Sęktas and reprimanded him. On May 4, the Diocese of Drohiczyn published a statement saying that the priest had violated the media guidelines adopted by the Polish Bishops’ Conference in 2023.
