The Epstein case: a lesson in the power of this world
It is not the millions of documents belonging to the paedophile financier that have been published in recent days that should give us pause for thought, but those that have not been released because they concern child pornography, torture and death. This suggests that we are probably dealing with elites who exploit weaknesses and perversions, even using them as a form of initiation
‘This is how Brussels is trying to influence the elections in Hungary’
Gergely Szilvay, writer and political analyst for the conservative newspaper Mandiner, analyses the upcoming Hungarian election on 12 April. The choice is not just between Orbán and his rival Magyar, but between two systems: a Europe of nations or an ever-closer Union, which Orbán's Hungary has so far tried to resist.
St Patrick's Purgatory: A Preview of Dante's Journey
St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is associated with a mysterious place where anyone who entered would emerge purified after contemplating the joys of the blessed and the pains of the damned.

Leo XIV has a problem, his name is Cupich
The Cardinal and Archbishop of Chicago's interventionism in matters of internal and ecclesiastical politics, such as his attacks on the ancient rite, risks causing difficulties for the Pope, who favours unity.

Undemocratic and corrupt Africa does not deserve aid
One cannot expect investments in corrupt countries where democracy has been replaced by plebiscitary dictatorships and coups have become commonplace. As many as 15 states are 'flawed democracies' (failed states), and almost all of the rest are dictatorships.
On Mary Co-Redemptrix, it is better to deepen our understanding than to misunderstand
What undermines faith and distorts doctrine is not the Marian titles that are contested today, but rather the distortion of their authentic meaning, taught over the centuries by popes, saints and theologians, but suddenly forgotten in the name of Mater populi fidelis.
England blames record abortions on economic crisis
A record number of abortions were performed in England and Wales in 2023, with almost 280,000 unborn children affected. Economic problems are cited as the main reason, with the cost of living and soaring childcare costs being the main factors. Easy access to chemical abortion acts as a multiplier.
Trump in Davos: the war of the worlds begins
The American president's speech at the Davos Forum reveals the true intentions of the US. The idea of global governance and multilateralism, as promoted by the Davos Great Reset initiative and the UN, is being abandoned. Furthermore, the entire global 'order' of the last 80 years is being called into question, including the monetary and financial order that was redesigned in 1971 and the geopolitical balance of power. Nations and the real economy are making a comeback. The world is being divided into spheres of influence before our very eyes. And Europe is standing by and watching.
Mary Co-Redemptrix manifests her total union with the Redeemer
The Mother's suffering on Calvary was her unique participation in her Son's mission, not an alternative route to salvation. To clarify any misconceptions and prevent reductionism, the reflection on Marian Co-Redemptrix continues with a series in two parts of insights by Mark Miravalle and Robert Fastiggi, cooperators of the International Marian Association document published on 8 December 2025 in response to the Note Mater populi fidelis.
Answering God's call: the true story of Opus Dei
The co-author of the first historiographical text dedicated to Opus Dei founded by St Josemaría Escrivá talks to the Daily Compass about his research in the movement’s archives and his love for the charism. Almost a century of life and a multitude of men and women dedicated to practising (and studying) their faith.
German synod elite put Pope Leo to test
The latest idea from the German synod elite aims to reshape the ecclesiastical hierarchy and reinvent doctrine, openly challenging Rome's silent disapproval. It is up to the Holy See to call time on a game that has gone too far.
