On 24 March, a court in Privas, France, delivered its verdict in the case of Father Bernard Domini and the Catholic community Famille Missionnaire de Notre Dame (FMND). The case raises wider questions about religious freedom and new legal standards in France. Following a two-year investigation, the case centred on allegations of "abuse of vulnerability" and 2psychological subjection" brought by five former members of the community. The community has approximately 160 members. The charges did not involve allegations of sexual abuse, physical violence or financial misconduct, but instead focused on the community's internal practices and discipline. In its ruling, the court issued ten decisions, resulting in seven acquittals and three convictions. Father Bernard was convicted on one count and acquitted on four others, while the FMND was convicted on two counts. The punishments handed down were relatively lenient: a six-month suspended sentence for Father Bernard and a €25,000 fine for the …More
"Pride, as we have said, was the cause of the sin of Adam, and, consequently, of the ruin of the human race. On this account Jesus Christ came to repair this ruin by his own humiliation; not refusing to embrace the shame of all the insults that his enemies offered him, as he had himself predicted by David: Since for your sake I have endured reproach, confusion has covered My face. The whole life of our Redeemer was filled with shame and insults which he received from men; and he did not refuse to accept them, even to the extent of death itself, in order to deliver us from eternal shame: Who, having joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame."

Last week’s death of a young Spanish woman by euthanasia shocked the world. Although her father fought for eighteen months to have to procedure stopped, he was overruled by the Spanish courts. At the eleventh hour, Noelia’s best friend – someone who may have been able to talk Noelia out of going ahead with her death – was denied access. When there was question of yet another legal intervention, authorities stated that was not possible: Noelia’s organs had been targeted for harvesting, earning millions for their sale. This case speaks to a cascade of tragedies which ended in a young woman being failed at every turn, and paying the ultimate price to a society which unashamedly exploits the vulnerable. Noelia Castillo Ramos was a 25-year-old woman from Barcelona, Spain, who will end her life through euthanasia on 26 March, after a long legal battle. Her controversial case has attracted widespread media attention in Spain. Noelia Castillo Ramos shortly before her death The last few …
"Now, to have our "loins girt," signifies two things: First, the virtue of chastity; Secondly, a readiness to meet our Lord coming to judgment, whether it be the particular or the general judgment. The holy fathers, St. Basil, St. Augustine, and St. Gregory, give the first explanation. And truly, the concupiscence of the flesh, beyond all other passions, doth greatly hinder us from being ready to meet Christ; whilst, on the other hand, nothing makes us more fit to follow our Lord, than virginal chastity. We read in the Apocalypse how virgins follow the Lamb “whithersoever he goeth.”

THE FOURTH PRECEPT, CONTAINING THREE EVANGELICAL COUNSELS. ALTHOUGH what we have said on faith, hope, and charity, may seem sufficient to enable us to live well and die well; yet, in order to effect these two objects more perfectly and more easily, our Lord Himself has deigned to give us three counsels in the Holy Scriptures: thus He speaks in St. Luke: "Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching." (chap. xii. 35, 36.)

Israeli police prevented two of the most senior Catholic leaders in the Holy Land - Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem, and Father Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land - from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. Lpj.org announced that they were stopped while walking to the church, where they were scheduled to celebrate the Eucharist on Palm Sunday. They were required to turn back, despite not participating in any public gathering. As a result, the church leaders were unable to preside over the Palm Sunday liturgy. This is unprecedented in modern times. The Latin Patriarchate added they had complied with all restrictions imposed since the outbreak of the ongoing conflict, including canceling public gatherings and arranging for services to be broadcast to the faithful worldwide. They characterized the decision to block access as “unreasonable” and “disproportionate”. #newsTjnhyvbccs
Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, said law enforcement agents must “evaluate everything in the light of Christ” while discerning actions in regard to immigration enforcement. Seitz issued the first pastoral letter on mass detention and deportations on March 14. The letter followed the special message the U.S. bishops released in November 2025 expressing opposition to “indiscriminate mass deportations.” In his pastoral letter Seitz wrote: The “current national campaign of mass detention and detention is a grave moral evil, one which must be opposed, with prayer, peaceful action, and acts of solidarity with those affected.” In the Catholic Church, “a grave moral evil” could indicate mortal sin. When asked if agents may need to disobey orders, or even leave their jobs, to avoid mortal sin, Seitz said: “I think the first thing that is most important is that you can’t put your conscience on hold if you’re a disciple of Jesus Christ.��� “You have to evaluate everything in the …
The WM Review 03. March, 2026. Fr Maciej Sieniatycki, recently cited by Mgr Pierre Roy, described a ‘church’ built on modernist principles. These principles are those of ‘synodality’, their ‘church’ the Conciliar/Synodal Church. Editor’s Notes At the time of publishing his Open Letter to the SSPX on the announced episcopal consecrations (dated 12 February, 2026), Mgr Pierre Roy’s website presented a text from one Father Maciej Sieniatycki, professor of Dogmatic Theology, taken from Przegląd Powszechny (1916). This intriguing text read as follows: “A Church that came into being according to modernist principles—if indeed such principles could create a true religious community, which is highly doubtful—would no longer be the Church of Christ but a 20th-century creation, based on principles that are partly Protestant but primarily grounded in an ideology of agnosticism and positivism, with mystical fantasies. This new church might have both a pope and bishops, but they would be mere …More
“They want to kill the innocent, for behind their fear lies attachment to power” Leo XIV’s homily takes its starting point from the Gospel of John, from the moment when the Sanhedrin decides to put Jesus to death after the resurrection of Lazarus. The Pope does not soften the Gospel account, nor does he reduce it to a distant page. He takes it in its starkness. Jesus is condemned precisely because he has restored life, precisely because he has given back hope, precisely because he has shown himself capable of entering human suffering, even to the point of weeping at his friend’s tomb. The point on which Leo XIV insists is the deliberate nature of that decision. Not an accident, nor a tragic chain of circumstances, but a choice matured in fear. Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin do not recognise in Jesus the expected Messiah; they see someone who disrupts balances, who moves the people, who opens a hope that cannot be controlled. The Pope speaks of a “political calculation”, a phrase that …More

"They said, Save Yourself. O ungrateful men! If this great Son of God, when he was made man, had chosen to save himself, he would not voluntarily have chosen death. If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross. yet, if Jesus had come down, he would not have accomplished our redemption by his death; we could not have been delivered from eternal death. "He would not come down," says St. Ambrose, "lest when he came down, I should die."
Mar 29 Bishop Joseph Strickland defends Carrie Prejean Boller We all know at this point that Carrie Prejean Boller was kicked out of the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission. And for what? For expressing Catholic thinking out loud. Bishop Joseph Strickland has come to her rescue in an X post. He reminds us that any “opposition to political Zionism is inherently antisemitic” isn't true nor anti-Catholic. She questioned the meaning of antisemitism and if it included criticism of political Zionism and what has happened in Gaza. Isn't the Commission about religious liberty? We wonder if Bishop Barron and former Archbishop Timothy Dolan are paying attention. The two are on the Commission but have chosen to remain silent when Boller was abruptly ousted for her remarks. Here's Bishop Strickland's instructive statement regarding Mrs. Mar 28 Canada has become a post-nation state based on lies Recall when PM Justin Trudeau stated that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values?

Nice article. I think they knew in advance that she would take this position and it is being used by the antiChrist US government to portray Catholics who know their Faith as a "radical right wing" movement. Later to be rounded up by the protestant zionist zealots for extermination. Shades of the coming Fourth Reich. God bless you!
The national hymn changed, from a land devoted to our Lady to one in which catholic hospitals allow euthanasia to happen... I thought Canada was bad, but Spain is trying to take 2nd place, as the Vatican is solidly number one... Anyways, Spain while embracing the "upgraded" version of communism: socialism, in which they have some form of capitalism, we can’t deny they have embrace darkness. A "catholic" hospital there allowed a paraplegic young woman to be murdered, let me repeat this again... a "catholic" hospital let euthanasia to thrive in their halls. While Leo goes in his pachamama "feel good tour" in Monaco, catholicism is no longer solid within as priests no longer have a spine. It is truly sad seeing the rebellion everywhere and the top instead of fighting, they’re embracing, promoting and even preaching it... But who cares right? Souls are no longer important, neither teaching the truth, like pope Benedict XVI prophesied: the Church will become small. Sad seeing the destruction …More
This creep needs to be locked up. The Holy Family used oil lamps for light and wood to cook. I guess being brain dead qualifies one for the episcopacy.

I was in the middle of listening to exactly what Russia was doing to help or not help Iran. I will finish it and then post it. if I can find it again. Not sure who posted it. But was from a Russian channel I believe. I don't trust anyone from this administration or the media. I rather hear it from the mouth of Putin himself who never lies. Every time someone posts a video or article I usually already know if it's true or not. And the truth is always revealed.
