During Easter, not only did a German priest and monk declare that he could well imagine a female pope in the future, but Cardinal Christoph Schönborn – whom Pope Francis has called a “great theologian” and to whom the pope entrusted the public interpretation of Amoris Laetitia – gave an interview in which he appears to express…
“Conservative” Catholics sometimes object to the traditionalist criticisms of Amoris Laetitia by claiming that Catholics critical of the document are in fact exercising their private judgment against the Magisterium just as the Protestant revolutionaries did, with the only difference being that the Protestants appealed to Scripture alone, while traditional Catholics appeal to Tradition alone. The…
Your Holiness, I pray for your humble patience with me as I try to understand recent comments. It has been reported that in speaking to an Argentine nun, Sister Marta Pelloni, you expressed that you see no harm in using certain methods to avoid pregnancy, in an attempt to help women ultimately avoid abortion.

When contemporary clergy preach about our relationship to the Father in Christ, they will refer to Christians, almost without exception, as “God’s sons and daughters.” The new document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Placuit Deo, falls in line: The Christian faith has illustrated, throughout its centuries-long history, by means of multiple…
There are those who accuse as disobedient those who have expressed doubts, questions, and criticisms of the action of the Pope, but “the correction of confusion or error is not an act of disobedience, but rather an act of obedience to Christ and thus to His Vicar on earth.” So says Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke…
Yesterday, we told you about the situation faced by Dr. Michael Hesemann, a German Catholic historian who was suspended from Facebook for 30 days for expressing a true, if unpopular, fact about Islam’s adversarial relationship with the Christian west. This morning, I awoke to find that I, too, have been deemed guilty of thought crime…
In the wake of the 4 April revelation that seven German bishops have turned to the Vatican in protest against the recent decision of the German Bishops’ Conference in favor of intercommunion for Protestant spouses of Catholics, Ulrich Ruh, a German Catholic theologian, now claims that this move is also a vote of mistrust, not…
Yesterday, I received a text message from a priest friend, stating his intention to observe what some researchers believe is the actual day and time of Our Lord’s death on the cross: Today, at 3pm, is the day and time that Jesus died on the Cross according to all of the best research, though April…
Image: Screengrab of Pi-News.net A few days ago, LifeSiteNews had yet another report on how the big globalist social media companies – Google, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube – are doing all they can to suppress and discourage some of the more conservative media outlets dedicated to spreading truth. It is in this larger context that…
In an unusual move, seven German bishops have now protested against the 22 February decision of the German Bishops’ Conference to allow, in some cases, Protestant spouses of Catholics to receive Holy Communion. This move comes without previously informing Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the head of the German bishops in Germany. As the German newspaper Kölner…
A famous Argentinian nun has said that Pope Francis told her that several forms of contraception could be permissible to stop those women who want to avoid pregnancy from choosing abortion.
