Amidst the crises threatening the world and the Church, now is the best time for the Holy See to heed the countless petitions made over the last century calling for the solemn declaration of Mary as the spiritual Mother of all humanity, Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix. This is the key that can pave the way for the triumph of her Immaculate Heart.

Lourdes: the Pope arrives and Rupnik disappears
Those controversial mosaics would have been an embarrassing backdrop for the papal visit in September. Instead, the visit is providing an opportunity to complete the steps already taken by Bishop Micas when he had the mosaics partially covered during the Jubilee. They will now be completely covered and will remain so even after Pope Leo XIV’s departure.
Lebanon: Israel chooses feast of Assumption for new attacks
Despite the ceasefire contained in the June agreement, Israeli forces launched a new offensive against Lebanon on 15 and 16 August. This was in retaliation for the wounding of three IDF soldiers, and caused several deaths.
Tepid reply from Rome to Hamburg bishop’s 'diversity' guidelines for Catholic schools
The Dicastery for Culture and Education has sided with parents who oppose the sexual 'diversity' guidelines imposed by Bishop Hesse on Catholic schools in the German archdiocese. It is just a few lines long, due but necessary. The project must be stopped before it becomes operational.
The open letter from Dutch bishop Mutsaerts is the latest initiative to call on Pope Francis to halt the numerous reckless moves by bishops who, under the pretext of synodality, are distorting Catholic doctrine. The fundamental question that must be answered is: what is the Church?
The Assumption of Mary, a sign of the triumph of the new Eve
In the papal bull containing the solemn dogmatic definition of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven, body and soul, Pius XII explains that this truth is linked to the unique decree of predestination by which the Blessed Virgin is the 'Partner of the Divine Redeemer', the new Eve. Together, they triumphed over sin and death; together they reign in glory.

‘Spain is facing an invasion, and it is the Catholics who are bearing the brunt of it because religious persecution is intensifying.’ The Daily Compass interviews Polonia Castellanos, president of Christian Lawyers. ‘Sánchez is responsible.

Trump’s foreign aid: to Christian organisations, not to ‘woke’ NGOs

Alois: the prince who champions life and defends children from abortion
In the principality, whose capital is Vaduz, centre-left and feminist groups have collected signatures for a referendum on the legalisation of abortion. However, the Crown Prince and Regent has made it clear that he will veto the measure should the referendum pass. This is an example of a sovereign exercising power for the common good.
Irregular migration: the EU remains out of touch with reality
Another social media campaign has been launched in Morocco in preparation for a new attempt to storm Ceuta.
