German Lutheran Synod President Grabs at Catholic Congress Communion: On Ascension, May 14, Anna-Nicole Heinrich, President of the Synod of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), grabbed Communion during the opening Eucharist of the German Catholic Congress ("Katholikentag"). She took Communion from a woman immediately after Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Münster, the president of the German bishops.
Chefin der evangelischen Kirche nimmt Kommunion Anna-Nicole Heinrich, seit 2021 Präses der Synode der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland, empfängt (direkt nach Bischof Wilmer) die Handkommunion beim deutschen Katholikentag.
I thought I was no longer shockable, but the sight of the de facto leader of the German Catholic Church accompanying/encouraging/blessing a Lutheran receiving Communion proved me wrong. What destructive arrogance, on both their parts.

On 21 May, Fsspx.news published a message from Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, addressed to its members regarding the Episcopal Consecrations. The text was signed March 7. Main points, slightly shortened. - While the state of necessity could already be invoked in 1988, this state of necessity is, unfortunately, even more evident in 2026. - There is a positive aspect to this situation. The announcement on 2 February left no one in the Catholic Church indifferent. Almost everyone feels concern and the need to express their approval or disapproval. - The reason behind the decision to proceed with episcopal consecrations is the salvation of souls. This should not be seen as mere rhetoric or a simple canonical justification. - We must love the Church, even if its official representatives were to declare us excommunicated and schismatic once again. - We must never succumb to bitterness. - We must remember that if Divine Providence grants us the …Daha çox
The Superior General of the SSPX has defended the Society’s decision to consecrate bishops this summer, arguing that the “state of necessity” first invoked by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1988 is now “even more evident in 2026”. Fr Davide Pagliarani also warned that any declaration of excommunication or schism against the Society “would be objectively unjust”.
Annemizin elleri kurtulus ve cennetin yoludur. Pederimiz Meryem Ananın tertemiz yüce ellerin sayesinde Sana yalvarıyoruz bize sonsuz kurtuluş lütfü ver, ölüm döşeğinde olanlar için Sana ulaşma lütfü ver, bizim kilisemizin sürünün ve bir çoban olabilmesi için diriliş ışığı ver, Amin.
Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote a blog post on May 21 about the synodal “occupational therapy” ordered by the Vatican. Main points slightly shortened. - What comes from Rome — the workshop behind the universally proclaimed synodal process — is human wisdom. Apparently, its protagonists have nothing better to do than keep issuing instructions to local churches on how to manage and sustain this synodal process, a stillbirth from the start. - It is the full-time actors of this dysfunctional, committee-run Church who busy themselves - at great expense - with commissioned management tools and synodal papers. - Nothing comes of it except ever more documents to read, heterodox study results, and newly invented committees — on top of the many already existing ones. - By now, it has become clear what this process aims at: restructuring the Church’s longstanding doctrinal positions on divorce and remarriage, homosexuality and the broader queer agenda, the synodal democratization of …Daha çox
Statue of Our Lady Remained Untouched After a Fire: A fire severely damaged sections of Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital in Enugu, Nigeria, on May 10, destroying offices, hospital equipment, and part of the children’s ward. Hospital administrator Sister Maria Chinaemerem Igwe said the blaze may have been caused by a power surge. Despite the destruction, a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary near the administrator’s office remained completely untouched, even though nearby objects melted and burned. Sister Maria described the event as a miracle talking to EWTN.

Almanya'dan daha kötü:ABD Kentucky Piskoposu John Stowe, eşcinsel "evlilik" ve "cinsiyet geçişlerini" teşvik eden eşcinsel grup 'New Ways Ministry'nin kurucularını Aziz Paul, Assisi'li Aziz Francis, Rahibe Teresa ve diğer Katolik figürlerle karşılaştırdı. Piskopos 21 Mayıs'ta yaptığı bir yayında "Kutsal Ruh "un yeni bir şey yapabileceğini söyledi: "Assisili Francis'in ruhunun coşkusu onu hayatını tanımlayan materyalizm ve statüden vazgeçmeye ve dışlanmışları ve cüzamlıları kucaklamaya ittiğinde yaşadığı şey bu değil miydi? Kutsal Ruh, müjdeye sadakat ve yoksulları kapsayarak kilisenin nasıl yeniden inşa edileceğini ayırt etmesi için onu güçlendirdi. Yahudi olmayanları bu evrensel topluluktan dışlamak için hiçbir neden görmeyen Tarsuslu Pavlus'un yaşadığı da bu değil miydi?

The man featured for nearly 25 years on the cover of the Roman priest calendar “Calendario Romano” is not a priest. Giovanni Galizia, now 39, told La Repubblica he posed for the photo at age 17 in Palermo as a joke after meeting photographer Piero Pazzi. Galizia said he was never paid, never felt called to the priesthood, and now works in flight attendant training for a Spanish airline. He described the image as an aesthetic portrait of an embarrassed teenager whose friends were laughing during the shoot.
A calendar featuring close-ups of young, handsome priests has been a popular Rome souvenir for two decades. However, many of those photographed aren't actually priests.
"I am not married and I don't have children, but I am not alone. I also have a partner, a woman, who supports me in my role as a priest", Munich parish priest Rainer Maria Schießler told Katholisch.de on May 22. He added that he stands by his way of life, saying: "You don't just choose a partnership; it develops because people are sympathetic to one another, and ultimately, it's a great gift. For me, at any rate, it gives me tremendous strength and enormous support in my work and in my celibate [!] way of life." He continued: "As a priest, I have just as much a right to my private life." When asked if he had received enquiries from Munich Archbishop Reinhard Marx regarding his public comments about his "female partner", Rev Schießler replied: "No, there was never anything to hide or explain." Rev Schießler is notorious for blessing homosexuals (pictured) and causing liturgical scandals. #newsDbopvakddv
What do these scandals seek to achieve? To discredit the Church and assassinate souls. To cause more people to be lost—for when people witness the bad example set by their pastors, they use it to justify their own sins, and thus join in the rebellion against God.
In the Prophecy of Saint Francis of Assisi, we are told that scandals will increase during the usurpation of the Papacy; and evidently, there is no one in Rome to restore order—for they all belong to the same apostate, homosexual sect that rebels against God, promoting adultery, sodomy, divorce, the abolition of celibacy, female ordination, the worship of false gods from false religions, and so forth. In other words, the presence of those scandals that go unpunished confirms to us that there is no legitimate Pope—and much less a defender of the Faith.
Piskopos Hugh Gilbert başkanlığındaki İskoçya Aberdeen Piskoposluğu 21 Mayıs'ta Transalpine Redemptorists hakkında kısa bir basın açıklaması yayınladı: "En Kutsal Kurtarıcı'nın Oğulları'nın çeşitli ilgili açıklamaları ve iddia edilen eylemlerinin ardından, Aberdeen Piskoposluğu birkaç aydır Kilise'nin Kanon Hukuku'na uygun olarak yasal bir süreç yürütmektedir. Bu süreç tamamlandığında, Piskoposluk sonuçlarını açıklayacaktır. Konu ayrıca Roma'daki yetkili makamlara da iletilmiştir. Bu nedenle, konu yargıya intikal etmiş olsa da, şu anda herhangi bir yorumda bulunmak uygun değildir." Yapay zeka çevirisi

Some 20,000 pilgrims have now set out on the 110 km walk to Chartres Cathedral, where the pilgrimage will conclude with Holy Mass offered by Cardinal Burke.

Stefan Diefenbach, a former priest, co-authored the German guideline 'Blessing Gives Strength to Love' ('Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft') in April 2025 for homosexual couples. He spoke about it with katholisch.de on May 22. Diefenbach was a priest with the Arnstein Fathers. He left the order in 2005. Since 2016, he has been in a homosexual "marriage" with a male opera singer from Argentina. Diefenbach said that the guideline merely implements Fiducia Supplicans: "It is an attempt to 'translate' it for pastoral practice in Germany and make it fruitful." He was surprised by the vehemence of the criticism. And: "I cannot fully comprehend the criticism. The text of the guideline clearly states that blessings should be given freely and spontaneously, that no approved liturgical celebrations or prayers are provided for, and that there should be no confusion with a liturgical celebration of the sacrament of marriage." Diefenbach himself was not present at the discussions in the Vatican. "But I …Daha çox
Pastoral Visit to Acerra | Pope Leo XIV | Shalom World News In a land scarred by environmental suffering, hope arrives with a message of solidarity and healing. Join Pope Leo XIV as he visits Acerra in Italy, standing with a community carrying the weight of the ecological crisis and reminding them they are not forgotten. Be sure to tune in for the LIVE coverage on Saturday, May 23, 2026, on Shalom World News.
Acerra chiama, il Papa risponde: il 23 maggio arriva Acerra si prepara a un abbraccio che profuma di storia e di riscatto. La visita di papa Leone ad Acerra, fissata per il prossimo 23 maggio, non è solo un evento da segnare sul calendario, ma un grido che parte dal cuore della Terra dei Fuochi. Il vescovo Antonio Di Donna lo ha detto chiaramente in una conferenza stampa affollata: il Papa non arriva per risolvere tutto con un tocco di magia, ma per dare voce a chi per anni è rimasto invisibile. In una terra che ha pagato un conto salatissimo all’inquinamento, l’attesa è febbrile. Tra misure di sicurezza imponenti e migliaia di transenne, la città si trasforma nel palcoscenico di una speranza che non vuole morire, pronta a riaccogliere quel filo di giustizia che si era spezzato durante la pandemia.
Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg, Germany, is "totally fascinated" by Pope Leo XIV, praising him for emphasising unity and opposing "nationalism". The bishop offered this praise in an interview with K-TV.org on 15 May. He also applauded Leo XIV’s willingness to confront powerful political figures and praised him for "standing up to Trump". "That impresses me greatly," said Bishop Jung. He added: "I rejoice very much in this calm, thoughtful manner." He also revived discussion of his favourite topics: married priests ('viri probati'), the position of women in the Church, and whether lay people could be authorised to preach — a practice which is already widespread and even expected in many German dioceses. Bishop Jung identified only one minor problem within the German Synodal Way: insufficient coordination with Rome. According to him, the German bishops now want to "take the next steps" together with the Vatican. #newsOevherwnwz
Worse than Germany:Bishop John Stowe of Kentucky, USA, compared the founders of the homosexual group ‘New Ways Ministry’ - which promotes homosexual “marriage” and “gender transitions” - to St. Paul, St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, and other Catholic figures. In a May 21 podcast the prelate said that the "Holy Spirit" might do something new: “Isn't this what Francis of Assisi experienced when his exuberance of spirit moved him to renounce the materialism and status that had defined his life and to embrace the outcast and the lepers? The Holy Spirit empowered him to discern how to rebuild the church by fidelity to the gospel and inclusion of the poor. Isn't this what Paul of Tarsus experienced when he saw no reason to exclude the Gentiles from this universal community? […] Isn't this opening of windows and doors what the founding leaders and supporters of 'New Way's Ministry' were doing as they embrace those wounded by rejection because of their sexual orientation?
