The Heralds of the Gospel announced on April 5 in São Paulo that priestly ordinations will resume in April 2026, following a suspension in place since 2019. 31 acolytes will be ordained as deacons on April 11 and 26 deacons to the priesthood on April 12. The ordinations concern members of the clerical society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli, which is associated with the Heralds of the Gospel. The diaconal ordinations will be conferred by Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães, archbishop emeritus of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil. The priestly ordinations will be presided over by Raymundo Damasceno Assis, archbishop emeritus of Aparecida and Pontifical Commissioner. Ordinations within the Heralds had been suspended following a Vatican intervention that began in 2017 and was reinforced in 2019 with the appointment of a Pontifical Commissioner. During this period, candidates for ordination remained in a state of waiting, and no formal public accusations or clear timeline for resolution …Күберәк
Rorate Blog: The Heralds of the Gospel have an extremely bizarre devotion for Plinio Correa de Oliveira (founder of the TFP) as an almost Jesus-like figure, and, worse, for his mother, Lucilia, as basically a near-immaculate saint. It's bizarre, it's well-known, it has cult-like undertones, and it should disqualify them from support in its overall creepiness.
They are approved since they interpret Vatican Council II irrationally and not rationally.If they interpreted the Council rationally they would be Feeneyite traditionalists.
Last week, Elisa Martinez of the New Mexico Alliance for Life discovered that the Catholic Charities of Central New Mexico (CCASFNM) promoted a Planned Parenthood-sponsored event called the “Lavender Prom” as well as the Transgender Day of Visibility. Martinez reported: On Holy Tuesday, the organization promoted “Trans Day of Visibility.” More alarming, the next day on Holy Wednesday, it promoted a Planned Parenthood sponsored program of TeenMpower, a “Lavender Prom” event aimed at youth under 18 to intermingle with adults, described as “teens and allies.” The event encourages participation across a broad age range of young teens with adults offering “free rapid HIV testing” during the event. In fact, the 2024 Lavender Prom featured 4-5 grown adult males and drag performers attending Planned Parenthood’s TeenMpower event. It seems fitting that CCASFNM should promote Planned Parenthood on Spy Wednesday. But given this information, it seemed unlikely that this would be a one-off …

That's right. As always, most people are clueless and believe everything the media tells them, as happened -to cite two recent examples-, with the 9/11 "terrorist attacks" or the coronavirus "pandemic." This documentary masterfully exposes NASA's deception: AMERICAN MOON.
The Church in Germany has “become a cowardly - I emphasize: a cowardly - collaborator with leftist ideology.” This is what Bishop Athanasius Schneider told JungeFreiheit.de on April 5. The German dioceses are “completely aligned … with the spirit of the times” and have “betrayed what is truly Christian and Catholic.” This development, he predicted, will go down in history as a “great disgrace.” Germany’s public media remind him “more and more of the state media in the Soviet Union,” particularly in their loyalty to the government. Regarding migration, Bishop Schneider said it is a deliberate strategy, “an orchestrated political action” aimed at supplanting Western identity. Migration is “also an instrument for infiltrating Europe and marginalizing Christianity.” Picture: Vatican Media, #newsZemdcmfvrj
His words translated into Catholic speak is that they’ve fallen into apostasy and are actively seeking to destroy the remnant of Christianity in the West. I don’t know why he chooses to use socio - political language.
The devil has sifted your earthly illusions, skillfully employing his wit and his charms but he was permitted for higher conclusions, God bless you, God keep you, Dear Brothers in Arms.
Letter to the Timothies They want you to join in, give up your last breath, become like the others: uneasy, annoyed and trapped in the working of fiefdom of death, the former empire Our Lord had destroyed. * The world has gone bigger, you're forced to the border, behold modern trends, beware of their Geist and firmly preserve the right ancient order, the order of God and His Holy Christ. * Ignore all the sirens, the voice for the stulted, wherever you struggle, just fight the good fights, this way you will hear the words of Exultet in depths of the darkest and longest of nights. * The devil has sifted your earthly illusions, skillfully employing his wit and his charms but he was permitted for higher conclusions, God bless you, God keep you, Dear Brothers in Arms.
Young Angel’s Descent Marks Easter in Spain’s Tudela | Shalom World News The Spanish town of Tudela marked Easter Sunday with its traditional “Descent of the Angel”, a ceremony that brings Holy Week to a close. Thousands gathered in the Plaza de los Fueros to watch the event. This year, a seven-year-old girl, Enma Madorrán, played the role of the angel. Secured by a harness, she was lowered from the Clock House into the square, where she symbolically announced the resurrection of Jesus to the Virgin Mary. She removed the black veil covering the Virgin’s face, a sign of mourning, and the crowd welcomed the moment with applause. The ceremony dates back to the 13th century and has been held in its current form since the 1600s. The role of the angel, once limited to boys, has been open to girls since 2008.

Bishop Hervé Giraud of Viviers, France, has ordered the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND), a Novus-Ordo community, to stop accepting new members and to suspend all religious vows, following a recent court ruling involving the community’s former superior, Fr Bernard Domini. The decision, announced on 30 March, follows a French court sentencing the former leader for “abuse of weakness”. However, the community’s lawyer described the ruling as 'close to an acquittal'. Both sides have appealed the verdict, meaning the case is not final. The bishop presented the measure as a precautionary step, but it has drawn strong criticism. Some families argue that it disregards the presumption of innocence and disrupts long-standing vocations. Parents have accused the bishop of “abuse of power” and of “destroying the religious lives” of their children by preventing them from making commitments that had been prepared for over many years. Bishop Giraud has since said [=words], he is willing …Күберәк
This is Easter Mass in 1940. Does anyone, serious about their faith, genuinely think Vatican II and the Novus Ordo and John Paul II’s communion in the hand standing were improvements on Catholic tradition?
In an article by Joseph Shaw, he states that in 878 Thomas Aquinas said only the consecrated hands of a priest should touch the Eucharist. How Ancient Is Communion in the Hand?
Communion in the hand is beautiful and reverent. Communion in the hand was the standard of the Catholic Church for the first 800 years because Jesus said "Take and Eat", not "open your mouth and stick out your tongue"
Pope Leo XIV announces April 11 peace vigil at St. Peter’s In his first Easter message to the city and the world, the pontiff urged those with weapons to lay them down.

Pope Leo XIV Announces April 11 Peace Vigil VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV announced Sunday that he will lead a prayer vigil for peace on April 11 at St. Peter’s Basilica, using his first Easter urbi et orbi message to make a forceful appeal for an end to war and a renewed embrace of dialogue. In a departure from the traditional Easter survey of major international flashpoints, Leo focused his message on the spiritual roots of peace, presenting Christ’s resurrection as the answer to a world wounded by violence, hatred, and indifference. “Easter is the victory of life over death, of light over darkness, of love over hatred,” the pope said. Yet it is also “a victory that came at a very high price”: Christ “had to die — and die on a cross — after suffering an unjust condemnation, being mocked and tortured, and shedding all his blood.” Leo said the strength behind Christ’s triumph over death was not worldly power but divine love. “This strength, this power, is God himself, for he is love …Күберәк
A formal complaint of homosexual abuse against Italian-born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 74, has been hand-delivered to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima on March 31, reports InfoVaticana.com. The dossier was simultaneously sent to pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Bishop Santarsiero is the Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference and Bishop of Huacho. The accusation is systematic homosexual abuse and psychological mistreatment of individuals under his authority. Vulnerable Minor from Poor Rural Background The main complaint comes from an anonymous young layman called “D.” He is now around thirty years old, originally from a rural area in northeastern Peru and from a humble, large family. His testimony claims that the abuse began at the Catholic high school of the Diocese of Huacho and continued for several years. According to the complaint, the alleged acts include forced hugs, genital touching, and pressure …Күберәк
The "Fog" of Disbelief Abril 12, 2026 - Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) Dear brothers and sisters, as Cardinal Cantalamessa has reminded us several times, over the past 150 years, modernity has spread a different narrative of the death of God in the West. A narrative that, instead of exploding in the joy of the Resurrection, as the Church attests, ends, as theorized by one of its most authoritative representatives, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in the sad wandering of the "superman" or the "beyond man" in an infinite nothingness. What good news, what a wonderful alternative, what boundless joy would be unleashed in the hearts of the men and women of our no longer Christian Western world in this beginning of the third millennium if, tired of wandering in the fog of disbelief, they awaken in their hearts the desire to contemplate and touch, like St. Thomas, the "signs" of God's merciful love manifested in Jesus His Son. Signs that the Risen Lord never …Күберәк
