Vatican pays gay pride and sex toys artist to design Jubilee mascot
Barely presented and already in the eye of the storm: ‘Luce’ (Light) the name of the Jubilee 2025 mascot which not only resembles Greta Thumberg, but was designed by the artist Simone Legno, well known for his popular ‘Tokidoki’ brand but also for having produced gay pride gadgets and a line of vibrators. Did Monsignor Fisichella's Dicastery for Evangelisation really not know that?
Synod’s end opens door to New Synodal Order for a new Church
An interlocutory document, adopted by the Pope, concludes the work of the Synod. But what is considered by some to be a step backwards compared to the expected progressive openings, is actually a sign that what is wanted is the synodal process that, without haste, will create a new Church.
The African case explains the chaos a synodal Church produces
As questions continue to arise over the Church’s understanding of the process and meaning of “Synodality,” the notable case of Africa’s response to Fiducia Supplicans suggests that implementing Synodality will simply create division, by allowing contradictory practices to exist in the Church.
Halloween concert to honour Satan staged in Italian church
In the church of San Dionigi in Vigevano northern Italy, on loan by the diocese to a banking foundation, a concert in honour of the devil will be held on the night of Halloween, complete with devilish dress code. The curia, when questioned by the Daily Compass, pleads its ignorance, but will make enquiries. The prophecy of the Holy Curé d'Ars comes true
If the Church adhered to an anti-pope it would already be over
Peaceful and universal adherence is not a mere ‘papist’ opinion, but a dogmatic fact that guarantees who the legitimate Pontiff is, not whether he is good or bad. And it is so closely linked to Revelation that denied the former, the latter collapses as well.
Cardinal Pizzaballa challenges clichés on Middle East conflict
Hatred will make the post-war situation worse than the war itself. Peace? It is not even thinkable today, let's aim for a ceasefire. The two-state formula is unrealistic. We need a change of leaders to find a solution for the future. The Patriarch of Jerusalem challenges clichés about the Middle East situation.
Vatican-China, extending the agreement damages Catholic Church
Beijing and the Holy See have announced a four-year extension to the secret agreement on bishop appointments and administration of the Chinese Church, first signed in 2018. Despite the poor results, the Vatican insists on a semblance of dialogue that is causing an increase in persecution for Chinese Catholics.
It takes more than priests and laity to declare a Pope illegitimate
The peaceful and universal adherence of the Church would not apply to Francis, for those who support the invalidity of his election, given the presence of discordant voices. Which, however, are not sufficient: if this were the case, no pontificate would be safe.
Universal acceptance of the Pope is always valid
There is a growing number of individuals and religious who are rejecting the legitimacy of Pope Francis. According to them, the Church's acceptance of the elected Pontiff is contradicted by the case of the antipope John XXIII (Baldassarre Cossa) with the support of other historical references. On the contrary, when put to the test, the arguments don’t prove their thesis.
Catholics are increasing worldwide. Except in Europe
On the occasion of World Mission Day, 20 October, Fides published a report on the state of the Church in the world. Nearly 14 million more Catholics, but numbers are falling in Europe.
UK, shock verdict: silent prayer against abortion is a crime
Adam Smith Connor, prosecuted for violating a buffer zone protecting an abortion clinic, was found guilty and given a two-year conditional discharge and a £9,000 payment. This is the first time a thought crime has been recognised in the UK.
Shame on Democrats, Governor Whitmer mocks the Eucharist
Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer's staged a mockery of the Eucharist by giving a crisp to a kneeling feminist, mimicking the act of taking Communion. She speaks of a misinterpretation, but it her feeble excuse fails to convince.
