Bishop Mutsaerts attacks “angry” Catholic blogs. Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts — one of the better bishops, who survived a car accident in June — has launched a polemical attack on Catholics who dominate online discourse. “One can eventually spend so much time fighting modernism that Christ becomes almost incidental,” Mutsaerts writes in a lengthy article on his blog on September 16. “One can read every day about everything going wrong in Rome and barely open the Gospel. One can receive news of the latest disaster in a dicastery on Facebook within ten minutes and have no idea which saint is commemorated that day.” “That is not a victory for tradition. It is spiritual distraction.” Mutsaerts continues: “Read more Augustine than ecclesiastical Twitter. Read more Benedict XVI than angry blogs. Spend longer praying for your bishop than complaining about him.” Elsewhere, he alleges that Catholics preoccupied with Church politics may not even know the Catechism: “A Catholic who does …More
Anglican Lay-Archbishop Sarah Mullally of Canterbury has revoked an award to Pakistani Muslim scholar Tahir Ashrafi. The reversal followed mounting online outrage over Ashrafi’s 2007 remarks praising Osama bin Laden as deserving the title “Saifullah” (“Sword of God”) for “waging jihad against infidels.” Ashrafi says his remarks were taken out of context.
As announced by Lambeth Palace of the Archdiocese of Canterbury on its official website, Archbishop Sarah has decided to withdraw the Hubert Walter Prize for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation, which she awarded to Imam Maulana Hafiz M.T.M. Asrafi on September 11 - a decision that caused quite a stir.
Blanche’s Political Campaigning Breaks an Ethical Norm Going Back to Watergate nytimes.com/…s/politics/todd-blanche-doj-midterm-… The attorney general’s campaign politicking for Republicans adds to the degradation of post-Watergate values at the Justice Department. By Charlie Savage Reporting from Washington Sept. 17, 2026 Attorney General Todd Blanche has repeatedly participated in campaign events and spoken in partisan terms about the coming midterm elections since his confirmation last month, despite criticism that he violated a longstanding Justice Department principle of steering clear of electoral politics. This week he waded again into those waters — twice. Since August, Mr. Blanche has come under fire for making campaign-tinged public appearances and comments. Last month, at a rally-style event on Long Island, he praised Bruce Blakeman, the Republican candidate for governor of New York. Last week, Mr. Blanche delivered remarks at the Republican Party’s midterm convention. On …More
"Leo XIV is building a homosexual church by personnel" Democrat Christopher Hale, a liberal "Catholic", draws attention to the pro-homosexual record of Pope Leo XIV’s episcopal appointments. This week, Leo XIV chose Bischof Michael Saporito - known for his outreach to homosexuals - to lead the Diocese of Metuchen. Hale notes that “Leo’s method is personnel.” He then writes: “One diocese at a time, he is choosing the men who decide whether a gay Catholic in Middlesex County finds the church door open.” And: “Pope Leo XIV is building a church where that welcome is policy, and the tool he has chosen is the men he names.” Hale lists the bishops Thomas Hennen, Ramón Bejarano, James Checchio, Michael Saporito, and Germany’s Christian Würtz, while also citing other personnel choices as part of the same broader pattern.
Leo XIV has named another LGBT-inclusive bishop to lead a diocese of 670,000 Catholics. Bishop Michael Saporito, who served under Cardinal Joseph Tobin, led a parish that welcomed gay Catholics and their families. He also participated in private dialogues with LGBT Catholics, saying he “felt enriched by the exchange of personal stories.”

The Church of England’s newest innovation A female lay “Archbishop” of Canterbury — has awarded Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi a prize for “Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation.” Ashrafi chairs the Pakistan Ulema Council, an assembly of Islamic scholars. The woman beside him is, we are helpfully informed, his wife. At no point does the Monty Python theme strike up, which is almost the most surprising part.
Once there were two men who had been best friends for many years. And they truly were friends — the kind who would do almost anything for each other. One of them was trusting and innocent, with a genuinely kind heart. He always believed the best about people. The other was much more clever and experienced. He was kindhearted too, but he understood people and life far better than his friend did. One day, the clever friend ran into serious trouble. His business collapsed, he lost nearly everything, and he found himself broke. So he went to his trusting friend and asked for help. Without hesitation, his friend gave him everything he had. Some time later, the trusting man fell in love with a young woman and became engaged. Just before the wedding, his clever friend came to him and said: “I’m in love with your fiancée. Please, let me have her.” The trusting man was shocked. He struggled with the request for a long time, but because he loved his friend so deeply, he finally stepped aside. The …More
Servant of God Therese Neumann - September 18 Therese Neumann (9 April 1898 – 18 September 1962) was a German Catholicmystic and stigmatic. Neumann has been considered a Servant of God by the Catholic Church since 2005. She was born in the village of Konnersreuth in Bavaria, Germany, where she lived all her life. She was born into a large family with little income. She was a member of the Third Order of St. Francis. Therese Neumann - Wikipedia On 11 March 1918, Therese Neumann was partially paralyzed after falling off a stool while attending to a fire in her uncle's barn. She sustained more falls and injuries during this period. After one particular fall she claimed to have lost much of her eyesight, and in 1919 she claimed to have been blinded completely. Bedridden, she reportedly developed horrible bed sores that sometimes exposed bone. Therese reported that her eyesight was restored on 29 April 1923—the day Therese of Lisieux was beatified in Rome. Therese Neumann had …More
18.09.2026 CATHOLIC CHURCH DOCUMENTS HAVE BECOME ‘TERRORIST’ FOR THE POLICE IN ROME: EXPULSION SOON Vatican Council II no more supports Alberto Melloni, the European Union and Cardinal Zuppi and the Sant Egidio. So when priests like Father Leonardo Pompei are excommunicated, in the name of Vatican Council II, irrational, immediately there must be petitions filed against the bishop and the Dicaastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), Vatican. Since they interpret Vatican Council II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Nicene Creed irrationally and so dishonestly. They wrongly interpret ‘the baptism of desire ‘as being ‘a visible case’ in the present times. The new information which people now have is as follows. 1. There is a Vatican Council II rational and irrational. 2. There is a baptism of desire visible and invisible. 3. The Nicene Creed can be interpreted with LG 16 invisible or visible and the conclusion will be different. 4. When the Catechism of the Catholic Church …More

A mosque dispute is escalating in Mestre, on the Venetian mainland. A Muslim association linked to the local Bangladeshi community bought a former sawmill for €1.5 million to build an Islamic centre. However, the site would require a municipal change of use. Venice Mayor Simone Venturini says the conditions for approval are not currently met, citing planning and integration concerns. Association president Prince Howlader threatened a strike in late August. He claimed Bangladeshi workers could disrupt tourism, hotels and restaurants. However, workers and unions showed limited support, and the protest was put on hold for talks.

Belgian Bishop Trains Married Men to Be Ordained Priests by 2028. Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, told LaLibre.be on September 14 about his plan, announced already in March, to ordain married men to the priesthood by 2028. In June, he informed two Curia Cardinals about his course of action: Cardinal Lazarus You Heung-sik, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Clergy, and Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops. Monsignor Bonny claims that the move is driven "by necessity", pointing to the acute shortage of priests in Flanders. Antwerp diocese has fewer than 70 priests under the age of 70, two-thirds of whom are from abroad. The Cardinals replied that they would discuss it with Pope Leo XIV. Bishop Bonny has identified several candidates for priestly ordination. They are receiving theological and pastoral training comparable to that of seminarians. The preparation is being conducted “in a transparent but discreet manner, away from the media spotlight,” he …More

‘ZERO A.D.’ BRINGS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST TO THE BIG SCREEN THIS CHRISTMAS | SG News The story of Christ’s birth is coming to the big screen this Christmas in a dramatic new biblical epic. Angel Studios’ Zero A.D.: The Birth of Christ, directed by Sound of Freedom filmmaker Alejandro Monteverde, is scheduled for nationwide theatrical release on December 11, 2026. Rather than portraying the Nativity only as a peaceful scene in Bethlehem, Zero A.D. takes audiences into the dangerous world surrounding the birth of Jesus — a world in which King Herod sees the arrival of a newborn king as a direct threat to his throne. At the heart of the film is Mary, portrayed by Deva Cassel. Her journey is presented as one of extraordinary courage, sacrifice and faith as she protects the Child entrusted to her while darkness gathers around the Holy Family. Jamie Ward stars as Joseph, alongside Sam Worthington, Ben Mendelsohn and Gael García Bernal. But perhaps the film’s most striking casting choice is Jim …More

Im Mittelpunkt des Films steht Maria, gespielt von Deva Cassel. Ihre Reise wird als eine Geschichte von außergewöhnlichem Mut, Opferbereitschaft und Glauben dargestellt, während sie das ihr anvertraute Kind beschützt und sich Dunkelheit um die Heilige Familie zusammenbraut.
