Leo XIV visited the Great Mosque of Algiers this afternoon. With minarets rising 265 metres, it is the third-largest mosque after those in Mecca and Medina. Upon entering, the Pope removed his shoes. However, some of his bodyguards and media personnel kept theirs on, proving that this was a performance for the cameras rather than an act of respect or religion.

13.04.2026 The real doctrinal problem today is with Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez who use the LG 16 visible heresy and the SSPX does not seem to know it. Roberto dei Mattei’s books and videos are put out with Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally. He uses the New Theology which has come from Rahner and Ratzinger in 1965 with the LG 16 visible heresy. Rahner and Ratzinger were never excommunicated. With LG 16 invisible Roberto de Mattei would become a Feeneyite traditionalist. He avoids this label to remain politically correct with the Left. Why is he allowed to receive the Eucharist at Holy Mass at the FSSP church in Rome? 1. He interprets Vatican Council II irrationally and so there are explicit exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesia nulla salus (EENS). He does not affirm an EENS with no exceptions. I interpret Vatican Council II rationally and so there are no explicit exceptions for the dogma EENS of the Council of Florence 1442. LG 8, 14, 16 etc refer to hypothetical and …Dugang pa

11.04.2026 Papst Leo XIV. verurteilt Gewalt und lädt zu Friedensgebet ein "Gott segnet keinen Konflikt" Diese Woche verurteilte Papst Leo die Vernichtungsdrohung von US-Präsident Trump gegen den Iran ungewöhnlich scharf.

Pope Leo lashed out against warmongers on Saturday while calling on billions of people around the globe to embrace peace and "believe once again in love, moderation and good politics". In one of his most passionate entreaties yet to end the raging conflict in the Middle East, the American pope said faith was needed "in order to face this dramatic hour in history together". "Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life," Pope Leo implored in an address during a prayer vigil for peace at St Peter's Basilica. Uttered in measured tones, as is customary for the soft-spoken head of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, the comments by the 70-year-old Leo nevertheless marked some of the most pointed criticism yet of the wave of conflicts inflaming the globe. "Dear brothers and sisters, there are certainly binding responsibilities that fall to the leaders of nations. To them we cry out: Stop! It is time for peace! …Dugang pa

No one has ever been able to agree about what exactly we are required to accept from Vatican II. Even the particular innovations of it (such as religious liberty) are understood very differently by different theologians and bishops, with precious little indication of, or conflicting accounts of, the "correct" reading.
The Mass in the Roman rite touches on the very idea of tradition in the Church, Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, president of the French bishops, told KTO on April 5. Bishops are called to show “pastoral solicitude” toward those Catholics: “First, to welcome them. It is not about judging them.” He added that this welcome should not begin by trying to redirect them and “not to say: 'they should go elsewhere or do it differently'.” At the same time, Cardinal Aveline emphasized that this welcome must remain within the framework of official Church structures: “Tradition goes all the way to the last council, including the Second Vatican Council.” Cardinal Aveline added that the liturgy and Vatican II “is not necessarily irreconcilable” as there is “a hermeneutic of continuity”. Councils “do not abolish previous ones.” On the announcement of episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X., Cardinal Aveline spoke of “a cause of sadness.” He believes: “It is …Dugang pa

A German Neo-Nazi who identifies as transgender has been arrested in the Czech Republic following an eight-month long manhunt. Sven Liebich, who changed his legal sex and name to Marla-Svenja Liebich, is facing an 18-month prison sentence on charges of incitement to hatred. Due to his legal status as a “female,” it is believed that Liebich will be placed in a women’s prison for the duration of his sentence upon his extradition to Germany. Shortly after being detained by Czech authorities, Liebich took to social media to confirm his arrest and to drum up support for himself using the hashtag “Free Marla.” In July of 2023, Liebich – then still known as Sven Liebich – was sentenced by the Halle District Court to a total of eighteen months’ imprisonment without probation for incitement to hatred, defamation, and insult. The sentence followed years of repeated legal violations; although he had previously avoided prison, the court had imposed alternative penalties such as fines and …
