“Whether the Chinese Church can remain authentically Catholic in the face of Sinicization is an open question,” writes Francis X. Rocca in an essay appearing in The Atlantic. Rocca—who until recently covered the Vatican for the Wall Street Journal—takes a critical look at the secret Vatican agreement with China governing the appointment on new bishops. The results of that agreement have been disappointing to the Vatican. The goal was to ensure the appointment of enough bishops to serve the Chinese Church, but at least 40 dioceses remain leaderless. That situation does not trouble Beijing, Rocca observes, because the Communist Party finds it easier to control a leadership Church. In general, Rocca writes, the agreement: ... came at the expense of China’s second group of Catholics: the so-called underground Church, which previously ordained its own bishops with Rome’s approval and is now in effect being told by the Vatican to join the state-controlled Church.

In the German Bundestag, Robert Habeck draws a connection between the AfD and the assassination attempt on Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico. Fico is a right-wing politician. The suspected assassin is the left-wing writer Juraj Cintula. So who exactly is supposed to weigh his words, Mr. Habeck?

A female clown danced in front of the Eucharistic table in the cathedral of Speyer, Germany, to celebrate or caricature a "Day of the Deaconess". The show was officially described as a "divine service". The Imperial Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St Stephen in Speyer dates from the 11th century and is the world's largest surviving Romanesque church and building. The clown show was led by six women and a female clown and was organised by [former] Catholic associations in Germany, several [former] Catholic women's associations and the Central Committee of German "Catholics" (ZdK), a powerful lay body and leading promoter of decadence in the German Church. The focus of the show was to push for [invalidly ordained] deaconesses. A 'Day of the Deaconess' has been celebrated by German dioceses since 1998. #newsLjzjuintiu

They tell us we need unrestrained immigration because birth rates have collapsed, but increasing the birth rate isn’t the solution? It needs to happen, of course, but it is a real uphill battle. It will require a wholesale rejection of abortion and contraception. It can’t succeed unless the vast majority of people are on board. It’s going to require getting all of the anti-abortion folks on the anti-contraception team, at the very least.

Trudeau was referring the genocide by the Catholic Church. The fire in this case has nothing to do with the Catholic Church. It is a Baptist Church that is burning.

The story goes that the Rockefellers purposely positioned the statue of Atlas opposite Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York, symbolizing secular man's burden without divine assistance. In response, the Archbishop, likely Cardinal Hayes, erected a statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague, effortlessly holding the world, representing divine aid.
