Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV. Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon: “ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
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 …More

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Exsurge Domine Editor’s note: The following text is taken from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s X account, first published on April 18, 2026, and republished here in full. It is understandable that many Catholics feel offended and scandalized by the statements made by the President of the United States regarding Leo, even if one certainly cannot claim that Jorge Bergoglio refrained during his “reign” from launching attacks and provocations against Donald Trump. Moreover, the latter’s intervention is contextualized by the statements orchestrated against him this week on the CBS, propaganda program 60 Minutes by three utterly corrupt cardinals: Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin, three prelates who are notoriously ultra-Bergoglian and ultra-progressive, part of the network of the serial abuser Theodore McCarrick, inextricably linked to the radical “woke” Left, and key electors and closest collaborators of Robert Prevost. When asked by journalists about Donald …
The Three Daily Breads of the Our Father Prayer. 1st Bread, 2nd Bread and 3rd Bread. “Give us this day our daily bread”, exactly what bread does Our Lord teach in this one prayer he gave us? In St John Ch.6 26:40 one can distinguish the Three Daily Breads as revealed in the Book of Heaven. Ch. 6 - 26 Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. (Here we learn of the hungering for the daily material bread, known as the Third Bread) 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. (Here Our Lord introduces and develops the Second Bread of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar) For him hath God, the Father, sealed. 28 They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he …More

The Battle of Virtues and Vices by Pope Saint Leo IX | From the Publisher TAN Books Publisher Conor Gallagher explains why The Battle of Virtues and Vices by Pope Saint Leo IX is a spiritual masterpiece. Get the book: The Battle of the Virtues and Vices: Defending the Interior Castle of the Soul What is the greatest spiritual battle? The greatest battles do not occur in a distant land or even in past times but in the depths of the human soul. It is the battle between virtue and vice, the conflict between aspiring to be a saint or living a mediocre life. The conflict between reaching heaven or forfeiting it. In this spiritual masterpiece, Pope Saint Leo IX, identifies our foes: “The enemies in this battle—the vices and temptations which infect our fallen nature—are invisible and internal.” These invisible and internal vices have dragged many souls to hell, and they will not stop until every person has surrendered to their pernicious and vile attacks. Are you saddened and discouraged …More
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.”

[Saint Benedict of Nursia; V-VI Century AD; Nursia, Kingdom of Italy/Mons Casinus, Eastern Roman Empire; aged 67; Father of Western Monasticism ~ Order of Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe, Rule of Saint Benedict, Saint Benedict Medal] “Chapter VII ~ Of Maurus' walking on the water. THE venerable Benedict being one day in his cell, the boy Placidus, one of his religious* went out to fetch water from the lake, but when dipping his pitcher into the water, not taking sufficient heed, his body followed the vase and he fell into the lake. The waves immediately bore him out from the land as far as the usual flight of an arrow. The saint, who was in his cell, knew the sad accident at the very instant, and at once calling Maurus, his disciple, said to him: ''Brother Maurus, run with all speed ; the boy who went to fetch water fell into the lake and has been already carried out a long distance." A thing wonderful and unheard of since that instance of the Apostle Peter! Maurus having asked and …More
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…More
How the Supreme Court’s Shadow Docket Started nytimes.com/…04/18/us/politics/supreme-court-shad… The Supreme Court long relied on careful, time-tested procedures to issue decisions. But secret memos by the justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how the court decided to bypass those procedures and create its modern “shadow docket,” a rushed new way of doing business. Our reporter Jodi Kantor explains what these documents reveal about the court.

The Shadow Papers nytimes.com/…s/supreme-court-shadow-docket-papers… A Breakdown of Five Days of Secret Supreme Court Memos The New York Times obtained a trove of documents illuminating the inner workings of the court as it embraced a secretive track for making major decisions. Over five days in the winter of 2016, the justices of the Supreme Court exchanged an extraordinary series of confidential memos about how the court should address an ambitious climate change initiative from President Barack Obama. The debate yielded an order halting the program by a 5-to-4 vote — without any explanation. Legal scholars have called the episode the birth of the modern shadow docket, in which the court has used truncated procedures cloaked in secrecy to block or allow major presidential initiatives in terse rulings. Ordinarily, justices’ confidential papers are not disclosed until after their deaths, meaning the public might not learn what happened, and why, for decades. The Inside Story Behind …More
Typical trump lover. He said nothing at all about the Blasphemous act of the beast dresses as Our Lord and Saviour. No where on the internet or on yt did I find anything about him calling out trump for what he did. And ignoring the demon leading our soldiers into battle. It's well known that masons and globalist love to throw hints of their evil deeds or their plans. It was plain to see in the disgusting and sickening ai generated meme. First time he dressed as a Pope everyone went wild over it and thought it was great. This time they were silent. But once the beast and Leo got into it, they all came out of the wood work. Attacking Leo and not one word AT ALL AGAINST trump. That's ok, GOD knows all and He sees all. He knows who defended Him and who didn't. Who thought the demonic meme was a great thing and who didn't. This is why I stopped listening to Vigano for some time now. He is no better. Not one word from him to defend GOD and condemn trumps evilness once again.
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.

2nd reading First Letter of Peter 1,17-21. Beloved: if you invoke as Father him who judges impartially according to each one's works, conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning, realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb. He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. shareyourcatholicfaith
