Today, Leo XIV has appointed Gabriele Giordano Caccia, 68, as the new Nuncio to the United States. He succeeds Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who has been Nuncio in Washington, D.C. since 2016 and turned 80 in January. Hard to Be Worse Than Cardinal Pierre Cardinal Pierre, who was born in Rennes in 1946, played a key role in appointing US bishops loyal to Pope Francis. He was also involved in the process that led to the removal of Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, in November 2023, and reportedly directed bishops to abolish Masses in the Roman rite. Casaroli-Style Diplomatic School ("Ostpolitik") Archbishop Caccia has served as the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations in New York City since 2019. Born in Milan in 1958, he was ordained a priest in June 1983 by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Milan at the time. Cardinal Martini was one of the most influential anti-Catholic figures in the post-conciliar Church. Monsignor Caccia joined the Vatican diplomatic …More
Several years ago I attended a Mass said by then Archbishop Pierre and told him afterwards that he was the second French archbishop whose Mass I had attended. And I then mentioned that the first was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (the St. Athanasius of our times.)
The March 5 Catholic Register's editorial titled, "Pope, PM’s circle of sanity," is correct in arguing that Pope Leo has a sane response to the war in the Middle East against Iran. He has wisely called for diplomacy, peace and prayer. It's the same message issued by the Conference of Catholic Bishops. It's how Catholics must respond to war, destruction, suffering and death. Nevertheless, the editorial staff at The Register believe they can square a circle and use the Pope's message to back the war. The paper supports Canada's approval to bomb Iran and kill women and children by the United States and Israel…. Why? Their insane reasoning is that the operation will stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. At the same time, Canada also supports the Iranian people as well as the right of Israel to defend itself from an oppressive regime. Do the Register writers realize that this twisted thinking makes no sense? It's completely contradictory. And so they say, "At first blush, the two statements …
Matthew 23:38-39 Behold, your house has been abandoned and left desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say: ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”
I keep thinking I have to pass a mosque who had an inman invited who told them to kill the gays. Then soon after two gay bars were shot up. I HAVE TO PASS THAT MOSQUE ON MY WAY TO MASS! I was on my way for my third First Saturday's. I got a huge blow out in front of that place. When triple A came out, the person kept saying what a Miracle it was that I didn't flip. Over and over and over till he left. My Angel as I said before is awesome.
Traditionalists appear to be divided, Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen, 94, wrote today on his blog about the case of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX). He suggests two things to consider: 1. A schism must be avoided with every effort, because it would cause serious and lasting damage to the Church. 2. A serious problem of conscience must also be respected: "How can someone be forced to follow teachings that evidently deny the Holy Tradition of the Church?" Cardinal Zen doubts that a dialogue between the FSSPX and the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will bear fruit: "Tucho, who intends to undo the traditions of the Church - how could he not hate the FSSPX? He will probably be happy to see them excommunicated!" Cardinal Zen trusts Pope Leo XIV, even though it is he who keeps Tucho as his prefect at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Cardinal Zen refers to Leo XIV as "the good Father". "Pope Leo XIV is someone who listens. He understands, and he will help his …More
The Cardinal adds that it is clearly a mistake to try to eliminate the Mass in the Roman rite: "The Novus Ordo did not respect the intentions of the Council Fathers. (Bishop Athanasius Schneider has gathered abundant evidence of this)."
Fri Mar 6, 2026 - 1:05 pm ESTFri Mar 6, 2026 - 1:28 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — Exorcist Father Chad Ripperger warned in an interview published on Thursday that the stage is almost completely set for the arrival of the Antichrist. While we ultimately cannot be certain about when the Antichrist will publicly appear, the situation needed for his arrival “is just about present,” Fr. Ripperger told podcaster and former U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan. The Church Fathers say there will be a “worldwide implosion of people’s morality” before the Antichrist arrives, which we have seen since the 1950s, noted Fr. Ripperger. There has been a widespread defiance of the laws of God and natural law. Another condition for his rule is the “unification of the worldwide economy,” said the exorcist, because it is through the economy that the Antichrist will control people, although “he’ll have control of governments too.” Father Chad Ripperger Official Preview. “Well, before the Antichrist comes, one of the …

Russian Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia delivered a pointed address to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump on Monday as she presided over a landmark UN Security Council briefing on children and education in conflict. In a session marked by high diplomatic tension, Nebenzia accused Western powers of using child protection as a tool for "political manipulation" while hushing up alleged Ukrainian military strikes on Russian educational infrastructure in Belgorod and Donbass. Addressing Mrs. Trump directly, Nebenzia rejected international allegations regarding the transfer of Ukrainian children as "disinformation," instead highlighting the role of the Vatican and Qatar in family reunifications. The exchange underscored the deep geopolitical divide as the United States began its presidency of the Security Council for March 2026.

THE “distinctiveness” that, 50 years ago, was a source of embarrassment to Roman Catholics is drawing young people to the Church and keeping their faith alive, a new book argues. In a post-modern culture characterised by the search for identity, belonging, and meaning, it is “strong religious subcultures” that will often draw young people into the fold, argues the book After Secularisation by Stephen Bullivant, Hannah Vaughan-Spruce, and Bernadette Durcan, published by the Catholic Truth Society. When it comes to the parish, the book observes a “growing trend of people choosing which parish to attend based on reasons other than pure geography. . . The cultural importance of individual choice and authenticity in the post-Christian era has made an indelible impact on the practice of Catholicism.” Growing parishes understand this, the book suggests. Instead of operating as “generalist organisations aiming to serve all in a heterogeneous market” (a quotation attributed to the sociologist …
During his time in Peru, Pope Leo XIV promoted women into leadership roles, reports VidaNuevaDigital.com on March 6, citing the book León XIV, portrait d'un pape péruvien (“Leo XIV: Portrait of a Peruvian Pope”) by authors César Piscoya and Véronique Lecaros. In Chulucanas (1985–1987), the young Father Prevost thought that women sustained parish life and began giving them an active place in pastoral work like “evangelizers”. In a second stage, from 1990 to 1999, this co-responsibility became a formation project in Trujillo. There he encouraged his fellow Augustinians to work alongside women with "equal responsibilities" in the two parishes Santa María and Nuestra Señora de Monserrate. Piscoya writes about a certain Alicia Azabache who was appointed coordinator of pastoral work and told Father Prevost that she knew nothing. He replied: “Neither do we… We will learn with you.” He deepened this path later as Bishop of Chiclayo (2016–2022), where he placed several women in charge of …More
Breaking News Sustainability NGO suggests a nuclear winter would solve climate change and a new United Nations system can be built In a 2022 webinar, the President of a Bahá’í faith-based environmental and sustainability NGO, International Environment Forum, suggested that a nuclear winter would be the best solution to “cool down the planet very quickly.” He also suggested that “another major crisis” would cause the “whole system [to] collapse,” after which a new United Nations could be built.

Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.
And t hank GOD it was NOT Russian people who brought the errors into the world. But others from other countries. And now you can plainly see how they hated and despised it. Russia who is now great and strong and loved by GOD and His Holy Mother. Which for those who don't push and love propaganda can plainly see. The c i a and America along with the UK, and others who love evil that picked up the errors so willingly because there are people around the world who prefer evil to good. So many miracles occurring in Russia. Why isn't there Miracles occurring here in America or elsewhere? Because GOD is pleased with Russia for turning away the evil that was forced on them. That's why! Some people are so angry that Putin wasn't involved in the epstein files they have to attack Russia to make up for it spreading their hatred and lies and their filthy propaganda they can't seem to let go off.

Oh thank goodness! Finally good "christian" Russia is going to help those poor people and end the US/Zionist axis in the Middle East! Oh wait, isn't Russia responsible for the acceptance of the State of Israel in the UN? Oh yeah. Thank you Russia for having all the communist countries vote for Israel. And the Mossad is also Russian KGB in Zionist drag? Oh yeah. Thank you Russia for allowing all those "Russian" "Jews" to take over the State of Israel! Wait a second, if Israel is a creation of the "errors of Russia," then why would Russia attack Israel earnestly? Oh yeah, this whole thing is about taking out the US and gaining control of the Middle East for the "errors of Russia."
Saint Thomas Aquinas The slaying of evil-doers is not contrary to the precept of the Decalogue The slaying of a man is forbidden in the decalogue, in so far as it bears the character of something undue: for in this sense the precept contains the very essence of justice. Human law cannot make it lawful for a man to be slain unduly. But it is not undue for evil-doers or foes of the common weal to be slain: hence this is not contrary to the precept of the decalogue; and such a killing is no murder as forbidden by that precept, as Augustine observes (De Lib. Arb. I, 4). In like manner when a man’s property is taken from him, if it be due that he should lose it, this is not theft or robbery as forbidden by the decalogue. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica, I-II, q. 100, a. 8, ad. 3)The death penalty must be applied to safeguard the common good Now every part is directed to the whole, as imperfect to perfect, wherefore every part is naturally for the sake of the whole. For this reason …More
Catechism of the Catholic Church The teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty The State’s effort to contain the spread of behaviors injurious to human rights and the fundamental rules of civil coexistence corresponds to the requirement of watching over the common good. Legitimate public authority has the right and duty to inflict penalties commensurate with the gravity of the crime. the primary scope of the penalty is to redress the disorder caused by the offense. When his punishment is voluntarily accepted by the offender, it takes on the value of expiation. Moreover, punishment, in addition to preserving public order and the safety of persons, has a medicinal scope: as far as possible it should contribute to the correction of the offender. (cf. Lk 23:40-43). The traditional teaching of the Church does not exclude, presupposing full ascertainment of the identity and responsibility of the offender, recourse to the death penalty, when this is the only …More
