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 …níos mó

She speaks up and trump is as usual "SILENT"! When now is the time for his big mouth to protest and use his friendship to prevent what they are doing in Israel against Christians.

“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 …níos mó
Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.” “Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”
Jerusalem: Kardinal an Zutritt zu Grabeskirche gehindert Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land, Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, ist von der israelischen Polizei am Zugang zur Grabeskirche in der Altstadt von Jerusalem gehindert worden. Der Italiener Pizzaballa habe in der Kirche die traditionelle Messe zum Palmsonntag feiern wollen, sei aber von israelischen Polizisten angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert worden, teilte das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem heute mit. Reuters/Ammar Awad Mit ihm sei zudem der Kustos im Heiligen Land, Francesco Ielpo, gewesen. Der Franziskaner ist der oberste Wächter der Heiligen Stätten, einschließlich der Grabeskirche. Das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem bezeichnete den Vorfall als „schwerwiegenden Präzedenzfall“.
I wonder where trump the fake Christian is? Why isn't he saying a word about this? He could easily stop this madness in Israel. He has a lot of pull with Israel and bibi. After all he turned jew back in 2018. Revealed by many jewish sources. Well, I guess that answers an obvious question.

Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami.

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.
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
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?
Shepherds ought to protect their flocks from wolves. Instead, we find them demanding that the wolves share our pastures. Last week, The Atlantic’s Francis X. Rocca penned a damning indictment of America’s Catholic bishops, although I doubt he intended it as such. “The most urgent political concern for America’s Catholic leaders is no longer abortion; it’s immigration,” Rocca wrote. Noting that immigration concerns are addressed in Catholic teaching, he added, “But now immigration dominates U.S. Catholic leaders’ public messaging.” How shameful. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly four years ago, but the butchering of unborn children in their mother’s wombs continues anyway. According to the abortion industry’s official research center, the Guttmacher Institute, abortions increased across the U.S. between 2024 and 2025, remaining above the one million mark in both cases, while the number of abortions committed via the abortion drug mifepristone increased by 26…
The Bishops and the Popes have never prioritized abortion except for Pope John Paul 2 who established the condemnation of abortion as an infallible doctrine of the Catholic Church equal in authority to all the Marian dogmas and the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ.
Canada is MURDERING people. A January 2026 report by the Ontario Medical Assistance in Dying Death Review Committee (MDRC) highlighted a case where a Canadian woman in her 80s, referred to as Mrs. B, was euthanized despite expressing a desire to live and withdrawing her consent. She requested palliative care instead of euthanasia, but this was denied before her death.
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
