"The EU discriminated against FAFCE because we are pro-family"
"There has been a serious shift in attitude on the part of the European Commission. First, they claimed the family excludes; now, the family is excluded." Vincenzo Bassi, president of the Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe, which has been excluded from European funds because of its anti-gender stance, speaks to the Daily Compass.
Pope’s Pro-Life Message on Nativity Scene in Paul VI Hall
A pregnant Madonna and thousands of ribbons symbolising the countless children saved from abortion. When Pope Leo inaugurated the unprecedented work, he also recalled this, breaking not only the mould, but also the mould of those bishops who looked with annoyance at the prayers for life in front of abortion clinics.
China is untouchable: the Vatican's conspiracy of silence on Jimmy Lai
News of the conviction of Hong Kong Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai has been completely ignored by Vatican media outlets and the Holy See. This is yet another perverse consequence of the secret China-Vatican agreement: in the name of political expediency, Catholics are being left at the mercy of their persecutors.

Jimmy Lai found 'guilty': a predictable outcome in Hong Kong's sham trial
The Hong Kong entrepreneur and Catholic publisher was found guilty of conspiring with foreign forces, a charge that carries a life sentence. Cardinal Zen was also present in the packed courtroom.

Charlie Kirk: 'The Lord's Day saves us from burnout'
Reclaiming rest and worship, which have been banned by a hyper-productive society, is the posthumous appeal of the conservative activist who explained that working on holidays has not made us richer or freer, but only more stressed and enslaved. By denying time to God, we enslave ourselves to the Antichrist.

Catholic Church needs property to fulfil its mission
The slogan 'A poor Church for the poor' is meaningless, and the bishops have turned themselves into liquidators. However, to evangelise and support charitable works, the Church needs the necessary infrastructure. Otherwise, it becomes subservient to those in power.
Is it Mary a model of the redeemed and nothing more? The dogmatic truth is different
In this article, Father Serafino Lanzetta, a professor of dogmatic theology at the Theological Faculty of Lugano, weighs in on the debate sparked by Mater Populi Fidelis. He refers back to the first great Mariological dispute, which was resolved at Ephesus. Today, as then, downplaying Mary's role leads to a misunderstanding of the truth about Christ.

Co-Redemptrix by participation: the forgotten principle
Mary's redemptive capacity is indeed within her, but not from her; it is shared. This is a key concept, expressed precisely by the concept of co-redemption, but carefully overlooked by Mater Populi Fidelis.

'Mary Co-Redemptrix': all that's wrong in the Vatican Note
The Daily Compass publishes the document by the Theological Commission of the International Marian Association, which clarifies the correct doctrine concerning the titles 'Mary Co-Redemptrix' and 'Mediatrix of all graces'.

They want us all to become 'forest families'
The story of Nathan Trevallion and Catherine Birmingham, in Italy, is paradoxical because they embody the lifestyle that the so-called 'green' tyranny wants for everyone: they are the only people who comply with the ecological footprint. However, they clash with another ideology, that of the omnipotent state.
The diaconate divides Vatican commission on women deacons
The ten members called upon to express their opinion on the ordination of women deacons are divided into two theological currents. The issue that emerged in Cardinal Petrocchi's summary concerns the understanding of the third degree of holy orders. The ball is now in the Pope's court; he is not bound by their opinions.
