Amazon Bishop: "Pressure" Stopped Francis from Ending Celibacy
Austrian-born emeritus Amazon bishop Erwin Kräutler told Kath.ch on March 27 that Pope Francis may have refrained from abolishing celibacy due to external pressure.
He believes Francis was open to the idea at the 2019 Amazon Synod but ultimately did not adopt it in the 2020 document Querida Amazonia: "That makes me wonder: who is responsible for this rift?" Kräutler said, suggesting outside influence.
The Amazon Bishop reveals that Francis "was put under such pressure that he could no longer do otherwise psychologically and personally, and didn’t dare allow the ordination of married men as priests," despite previously encouraging "bold proposals".
Monsignor Kräutler added that the Amazon bishops had hoped for female priests, too. Many communities in the Amazon are "already" led by women. In his religion, the ordination of women is a matter of church law that could be changed with a single signature.
Kräutler served as Prelate of Xingu in Brazil from 1981 to 2015 and helped prepare the …More

A Political Meditation on the Triumph and Passion of the Son of God
Legionário, São Paulo, March 21, 1937, N. 236
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
The events commemorated today and throughout this coming week offer Catholics, in the stormy days we are living in, excellent subject matter for an extremely useful meditation on politics.
There are two extremely deleterious errors that often pop up among Brazilian Catholics and which Holy Week makes it extraordinarily opportune to unmask. As it usually happens, these errors do not come from false premises properly so-called, but from incomplete premises. They are provoked by a partial and narrow view of things. And only an accurate meditation in light of natural considerations and arguments inspired by supernatural motives can bring out the bad germ that hides in them.
The first of these errors consists in branding the action of the Church to solve the contemporary crisis as ineffective.
The word is going around in some circles of Catholics – which are not necessarily Catholic circles – and in circles that …More

The Rebel’s Gospel and the Damnation It Purchases
St. Paul did not mince words. He rarely did.
“Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.” (Romans 13:1–2, Douay-Rheims)
Purchase. To themselves. Damnation. Not inconvenience. Not imprudence. Not a regrettable tactical error. Damnation. The Apostle uses κρίμα — condemnation, judgment — the same word used for the verdict rendered at the last hour. And he says the rebel brings it on himself. It is self-purchased. Self-willed. The logical terminus of a soul that has decided it knows better than God’s providential ordering of the world.
Keep that word in mind. We’re going to need it.

Pope Leo lands in Monaco; Historic papal visit begins | Apostolic Journey | Shalom World News
Commencing his historic apostolic journey to Monaco, Pope Leo XIV landed at world’s second smallest sovereign nation to a simple but solemn welcome ceremony with guard of honor. The papal helicopter landed in Monaco’s heliport at 9.00 am, where the Holy Father was ceremonially received by Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, which was followed by an official welcome at the Prince's Palace. This historic visit marks the first papal visit in nearly 500 years. The last visit, which is also the only previous one, was a visit by Pope Paul III in 1538. This apostolic trip is a one-day pastoral and institutional visit, consisting of meetings with Prince Albert II, a Mass at the Louis II Stadium, and visits to the cathedral. ----------------

Reports indicate Saudi Arabia is now aligning with U.S. and Israeli operations following Iranian strikes on regional bases. If confirmed, this marks a major escalation: • A U.S.-Israel operation becomes a wider coalition war • Multiple Gulf states now directly involved • Iran facing pressure from several fronts at once • The risk of full regional conflict just surged
Rumor is that after they win the war, they are going to investigate 9/11.
It was American and British interests in 1953 that made sure the autocratic Shaw had power. A little history helps to explain the animosity many have for the American empire. Who is the real bully?
The SSPX: an Eastern Catholic View – Part II.
Fr. Romano Tommasi, SLD
21 March, 2026.
Theological Persuasion, Imperial Governance, and Emergency Ecclesiology:
Structural Reassessment of the SSPX in Light of Roman Juridical Practice and Historical Parallels
Introduction: The Question Misstated
The question of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) is almost universally framed in Catholic discourse as a question of obedience or disobedience, and more sharply as a question of schism. This framing, however, presupposes what must be demonstrated—namely, that the existence of parallel ecclesial structures, sustained over time and involving episcopal ordinations without papal mandate, necessarily constitutes schism in the strict canonical and theological sense.
This article proposes a different approach. Rather than adjudicating the rightness or wrongness of the SSPX position, it asks whether the category schism is an adequate diagnostic descriptor at all. It argues that the persistence of the SSPX is better explained by a structural failure …More

Diocese of Brooklyn Students Pray Nearly 200,000 Hail Marys During Eucharistic Rallies
Middle school students in the Diocese of Brooklyn came together for the final Eucharistic rally of the school year, praying a staggering 39,220 Hail Marys in one day at St. Helen Church. Across all nine rallies this year, young Catholics prayed nearly 200,000 Hail Marys together. Students and leaders say the experience strengthened their faith and showed the power of praying as one.

Bishop Schneider Urges FSSP, Cardinals, and Bishops to Support - Not Attack - the FSSPX
Bishop Athanasius Schneider regrets that communities of the Roman rite, as well as cardinals and bishops, have come out against the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). They attack the Priestly Fraternity, labelling its members schismatics and threatening excommunication. "This is unhelpful. It should be the contrary."
In an interview with RemnantNewspaper.com on 25 March, he encouraged Catholics to unite as the Church is one big family: "The FSSPX belongs to this family".
Bishop Schneider draws parallels with the Arian crisis in the 4th century. St Basil the Great described a situation in which even the good people, who were in the minority, were fighting each other, despite the fact that the majority of bishops were aligned with the heresy.
Basil described it as "a naval battle of ships in the sea, in mist and night, but instead of fighting the enemy ship, the good ones started to attack one another".

Putin backs Cuba against ‘unacceptable’ US embargo
Cuba has one of the highest abortion rates in the world, so don’t be taken in if this is how they’re trying to manipulate emotions. There has to be a lot of martyrs for things to change there. They’ll use anything to make Americans look bad and blame the US embargo for everything. The government is a totally evil entity. They’re all oppressive liars and thieves in that government without caring one bit about the people. Yes, it’s sad that people are dying but nothing will change there until the Marxist elitist regime is totally blown off the island. I know. I’m a Cuban and I am a Traditional Catholic.
It always takes Russia to go in and help others. Even their enemies if they ask. Even the US who has helped Ukraine bomb inside Russia. Now Putin has ordered an envoy to America to try and help trump get out of this mess and seek dialogue and peace. But it's trump who refused to help Russia make peace with Ukraine. Pretending he wanted to help. Yet still helping Ukraine with INTEL and weapons etc. Finally admitting he was!
If certain countries refuse to get along with Russia, don't let anyone brainwash you that Russia is part of the deep state. They are not good at twisting the truth for those who know the truth already. Watch them closely. They repeat the same things over and over again. What do they say about that? Repeat it enough times and the people will believe it. But they can't win with people with strong minds who have common sense. Watch for that sort of person and get far away from them.
