Since legalising euthanasia in 2016, Canada has recorded about 95,000 deaths under the Medical Assistance in Dying programme (MAiD). Starting in 2027, the programme is set to expand further to include people suffering from mental illness. Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto has appealed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Members of Parliament to block the expansion. He warned of the pressure vulnerable individuals could face, adding: "A society is rightly judged by how it cares for its most vulnerable members."
Cardinal Frank Leo, the metropolitan archbishop of Toronto yesterday sent a letter "to Prime Minister Carney and all federal Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Archdiocese of Toronto asking for their support of Bill C-218 and decrying the rapid expansion of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Bill C-218 is a private members’ bill currently before Parliament that would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027." The terrible law itself needs to be stopped. Since euthanasia was legalized in Canada in 2016, over 20,000 Canadians have been killed. Abortion kills 100,000 unborn babies each year, all paid for by Canada Health. Did you know that the yearly number of deaths in Canada will soon surpass the number of births? There is no future of any kind in that coming …
Tue Apr 21, 2026 - 3:09 pm EDTTue Apr 21, 2026 - 4:29 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Israel’s official government X account announced “Pride Land,” a four-day LGBT festival set for June 1–4, 2026, at the Dead Sea—the lowest point on Earth. Billed as the largest such event ever in the Middle East, the gathering promises “nonstop celebration, community and connection” across a temporary “Pride City” in the Judean Desert, complete with 15 hotels, beach venues, all-day parties, and major performers. The perhaps ironic tagline of the post from the Israeli governments official X account—“Pride rises at the lowest place on earth”—resonated with some respondents who made reference to the depravity of the event while observing its physical proximity to the general region where cities had been destroyed by God for these exact sins. Pride rises at the lowest place on earth This June the Dead Sea becomes Pride Land, the biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East. Four days of nonstop …
The Vatican is pressing forward with the plan to reshape the Church into a more participatory, consultative body with shared decision-making across multiple levels, according to a report by katholisch.de on April 21. On April 17, the General Secretariat of the Synod convened the XVI Ordinary Council in an online session chaired by Cardinal Mario Grech. The meeting opened with a prayer led by Sister Nathalie Becquart. Council members reviewed progress on implementing the final document of the Synod on Synodality and examined ongoing work by study groups. A key next step will be a preparatory meeting at the Vatican from June 23–25, aimed at translating the Synod’s 2024 conclusions into concrete action at the continental level. This implementation phase is scheduled to run through spring 2028. Participants in June will include leaders of major continental episcopal bodies (CELAM, CCEE, and SECAM) alongside representatives of Eastern Catholic patriarchates and delegations from the bishops …ተጨማሪ
Acts 8:26-40 “What is to prevent my being baptized?” Everyone can be baptized. John 6:44-51 “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.” The word “living” is the word “life.” The life of God descends into us and raises us to him. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
In Malabo, Pope Leo XIV signed the guest book after meeting with civil authorities and diplomats, briefly looking to prepared notes as he wrote. The moment drew lighthearted attention on social media, where some users joked he seemed like “the kind of person who would never cheat on an exam.”

On today's first anniversary of Francis's death, the homosexual activist James Martin SJ shared a memory from 2024. At the time, Francis had made some negative remarks about homosexual priests using the Italian slur "frociaggine" (faggotry) in a meeting with Italian bishops. A few weeks later, Francis received Fr Martin and discussed the expression. Francis said then that he knew "many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians". When Fr Martin suggested proclaiming this publicly, Francis replied, "Oh, but I think I have. And in any event, you can say that!" According to Fr Martin, Francis asked back: "So you're saying that I can say you know many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians?" Francis shrugged and said, "Of course. Because I do!" [In reality, the Church has suffered from many unholy, unfaithful, sexually active gay priests.] A few days later, during an audience with comedians, Fr Martin greeted Francis again. The Pope said, "Thank you for our meeting …ተጨማሪ
Gay is an adjective that applies to someone tempted to homosexual sin and is proud of the temptation and acting on the temptation. He or she also encourages others to be proud of their temptations and sins. The specific difference is pride. One who is tempted or sins in a homosexual manner and experiences compunction and repugnance is not gay. Given that definition one cannot be a good gay catholic or a good gay priest. Pride is a vice. It changes a tempted person or sinner who should be ashamed into a vicious monster. Bergoglio's and Martin's ambiguity serves as a smoke screen for contradicting divine revelation and traditional moral doctrine.
Several anonymous cardinals and curial officials told the Substack.com account The Pillar on April 17 that they do not expect any resolution to the question of the Mass in the Roman rite in the near future. Some Catholics had hoped the next extraordinary consistory of cardinals on June 26–27 would address the liturgical issue. Instead, Leo XIV chose to focus on Francis' document Evangelii Gaudium. One Vatican official said that Leo XIV was not very familiar with traditional communities or even the traditional liturgy, and that his primary concern was not liturgy but whether members of those communities accept the Second Vatican Council. As early as June 2025, the best friend of Leo XIV, Alejandro Moral, Prior General of the Augustinians, had already ruled out any return of the older form of the Mass under his pontificate. #newsVdgrmnvwkv
Paul VI killed the Old Mass; JP II gave it a tiny life; Benedict opened it up greatly, saying it had never really been officially done away with; Francis tried to kill it; Leo seems happy with Francis's decision. Zigzag, zigzag, what is the layman to think? "Officer, the light was green when I went through it." "Well, it's red now and you are in trouble." Why should the laity respect the governance of the Church?
The late great ALAIN DELON’s parents divorced when he was 4yrs old and put him up for adoption - so his answer when asked — “if God exists what would you ask him after your death?” — hits me hard every time.
So sincere and real! It so speaks to our need for and love of our parents, and how as parents we must nurture that love and build on it. It is so sad when even people who have been successfully adopted miss their real parents.
In June, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X will announce the names of the future bishops to be consecrated on 1 July in Ecône, Switzerland. Father Kevin M. Cusick published this rumour on the Rorate-Caeli blog, referring to an anonymous 'reliable source' who claimed that both Don Davide Pagliarani, the Fraternity's Superior General, and Father John Fullerton, the Fraternity's Superior for the US, had confirmed the information.

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, has instructed priests and pastoral staff to perform "blessings" for homosexual couples and adulterers. A spokesperson confirmed to Die-Tagespost.de on 21 April that all pastoral practice should adhere to the German bishops' guideline, Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft ('Blessing Gives Love Strength'). This guideline is set to become a fundamental element of pastoral work across the Archdiocese of Munich. Training sessions for pastoral staff on how to conduct these "blessing ceremonies" are scheduled to begin in June. No couple seeking a blessing should be turned away. Priests who reject such "blessings" are expected to refer couples to either their dean or other pastoral workers willing to perform them. Furthermore, Cardinal Marx has urged that the "theological meaning" of the guideline be explained, particularly to those who may "still" struggle with the concept of such "blessings". Blessings for same-sex couples are already common practice in …ተጨማሪ
The “Wolf-Sheep” Priest Among Traditional Catholics: A quiet danger we don’t always want to see. Among us who hold to Tradition, it is not difficult to recognize the obvious problems in the modern Church. The changes after the Second Vatican Council, the new teachings, the new spirit—these things are visible enough. A priest who openly promotes those errors is easy to identify. There is no disguise there. But the more uncomfortable question is this: what about the danger that does not come from outside, but from within our own traditional circles? Because it exists. And it is far more subtle. There are priests who wear the cassock, offer the Latin Mass, speak against modernism when it is convenient—but in the long run, something is not quite right. Not openly wrong, not clearly heretical, but slowly, almost quietly, they weaken the very thing they seem to represent. This is what we mean by a “wolf-sheep” priest. Not a wolf in appearance, but one hidden under the skin of tradition. …ተጨማሪ
Christ Crucified Has Prevailed: In coordination with the Christians of Debel, the Israeli army has replaced the crucifix that had been beheaded in southern Lebanon. This action was (only) taken after images of the incident spread online, sparking widespread outrage.
The Israeli army has stated that it has replaced the crucifix that one of its soldiers defaced in Lebanon. The IDF has expressed deep regret over the incident and is working to ensure that it does not happen again.
The IDF was caught red-handed and so they went into spin control. If a picture hadn't been taken of the incident, they would have simply denied it. Since the picture is real, they say." So sorry, won't happen again". It's all optics to them.

This apostasy, foretold by Scripture, was also announced by the Virgin at La Salette, who clearly stated that Rome would lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist; that many priests would completely lose the faith and cause the loss of countless souls; and that many churches would be closed and desecrated. Furthermore, she warned that these desecrated churches would be used to worship demons.
