This morning, Pope Leo XIV arrived in San Marino, where he was received by the Captains Regent, Alice Mina and Vladimiro Selva, as the Republic and the Holy See mark 100 years of diplomatic relations. At the Basilica of San Marino, he venerated the relics of St. Marinus, the country’s patron saint.
He will then continue to Rimini for the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples, stopping along the way at the Augustinian nuns’ monastery in Pennabilli.

Surrogate mother who refused to abort baby gives …
The surrogate mother who refused to abort her baby after the biological parents allegedly called for an abortion gave birth two weeks early.
The child, called Gabriel by his surrogate mother, McKenna West, was born in Dallas on Aug. 12. He was born amid an ongoing legal dispute after his biological parents, identified in court documents as Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, allegedly demanded West undergo an abortion.
At about 20 weeks, Gabriel was diagnosed in utero with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) — a serious congenital heart condition. Treatment for HLHS typically involves three surgeries, beginning with one procedure shortly after birth.
“Itʼs horrific to think that so-called intended parents, when they found out that their baby had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, told the surrogate mother that they wanted her to abort that child,” Amy O’Donnell, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, said in an interview with “EWTN …Mer

Witnesses Accuse Maronite Prelate of Public Homosexual Act

Monsignor Anthony Spinosa, 75, a Maronite Catholic priest, has been accused of engaging in a public homosexual act with registered sex offender Kenneth Kopp, 54, at Perkins Park in Warren, Ohio, according to Wfmj.com.
Spinosa had served since 2002 as rector of the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in North Jackson. He was elevated to the rank of "Chorbishop" (prelate) in 2016.
On Thursday, he was relieved of his ministerial assignment.
The allegations stem from July 31, when a couple walking their dog told police they saw Kopp on his knees allegedly performing a homosex act on Spinosa, who was smoking a cigar. They further alleged that one of the men invited them to join in and offered to let them watch for payment.
According to the police report, the incident occurred "in broad daylight," about 100 meters from a playground where children were present.
Police subsequently found Kopp in a Honda Civic near a black rug and pink boots. A search of the vehicle uncovered wigs …Mer

Apologia Pro Vita Sua: How I Arrived at a "Sede-Doubtist" Position (Part II)

Sean Johnson
Jul 23, 2025
A. Introduction
In Part I of this article, we explained how men arrive at religious conviction in matters which do not avail themselves of mathematical certitude, according to Cardinal Newman’s theory of converging probabilities (i.e., amassing such a cumulation of indications pointing toward a particular conclusion, that to refuse assent to the conclusion would be unreasonable). We reviewed the role disposition plays in this intellective process, as an explanation of why two men viewing the exact same indications can come to opposite views. And we explained that although the method is not without all risk of error, nevertheless, one can arrive at such a high probability of certitude, approximating what moralists refer to as “moral certitude,” that it becomes eminently prudent and reasonable to act upon the conclusion.
In this final installment, I will attempt to explain an array of factors which have tended to modify my position regarding the legitimacy of the …Mer

Francesco Capozza of IlTempo.it, who lives in a homosexual civil union, has reported that a group of conservative cardinals met at Cardinal Burke’s residence before the 2025 conclave and decided to block Pietro Parolin and shift a bloc of roughly 20–25 votes toward Robert Francis Prevost. Pro-homosexual Marco Felipe Perfetti counters on SilereNonPossum.it that Capozza’s conclave reconstructions are “fanciful.” He points to a record of Capozza claims subsequently contradicted by reality: the anticipated appointment of Di Tolve to Chioggia, expectations surrounding Pietro Parolin’s election as pope, and an alleged rupture in relations between the Holy See and France supposedly caused by Leo XIV’s hostility toward Emmanuel Macron - “all nonsense reported by Capozza and promptly disproved by the facts”.

THE LIBRARIES THEY BURNED.
You've been taught that the Library of Alexandria was the greatest loss of knowledge in human history. A library. A fire. A tragedy. You've never been told about the OTHER libraries. Between 1850 and 1910, over 600 major libraries, archives, and government buildings worldwide were destroyed by fire. Not by chance. Not by war. But by FIRE. The pattern is unmistakable:
1851 – Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Burned down. 35,000 volumes destroyed.
1871– The Great Chicago Fire. All of the city's public records, land registry documents, and historical records – destroyed.
1871 – In the same week as Chicago: Peshtigo, Wisconsin. The most devastating fire in American history. All records destroyed.
1872– The Great Boston Fire. Financial district and archives – destroyed.

Instaurare Omnia in Christo

Father Paul Kramer on the Essence of the secret of Fatima.

The main point of the third secret can be summed up in the words of Melanie Calvat: "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist." A heretic antipope will completely take over the Vatican apparatus and consummate Luther's Gnostic revolution and will erect a counterfeit church -- a "church" that will replace the primacy of the pope with sinodality, thereby creating a federation of regional hierarchies. It will be a Masonic inspired "dogma free Christianity" with no moral absolutes, and it will replace the holy sacrifice of the Mass with an invalid rite. The true sacrifice of the altar will be abolished. The false ecumenical religion will gain state recognition. Adherents of the Catholic religion will be severely persecuted by the civil powers. The true pope will be hunted down and killed. Then there will be world war, frightful epidemics that will exterminate entire nations, and starvation almost everywhere. There will be catastrophic natural disasters that will annihilate …Mer

Bishop Wilmer Praises "Established Tradition" of Lay Preaching during Eucharists

"For me, the Church is synodal," said Bishop Heiner Wilmer, 65, in an interview with Kirche-Und-Leben.de on 21 August. He is the chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference. In March 2026, Pope Leo XIV promoted the pro-homosexual bishop to Münster, the largest diocese in Germany.
Monsignor Wilmer said that synodality is "deeply rooted" in Münster diocese. He added that he was looking forward to "the common journey with many baptised people, but also internationally, ecumenically, and with our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters".
Grateful for Lay Preaching
When asked about lay preaching during Eucharists, Bishop Wilmer admitted that he there are "many" baptised women and men who had been engaging with this issue for years, and that a culture had developed around it.
Wilmer has "great respect for this established tradition" and is "deeply grateful" for it.
He is "convinced that the wonderful pastoral workers will find a good way to deal with the circumstances” - taking about the Vatican's …Mer

Cardinal Bustillo Meets with Freemasons

On August 7, around 100 Freemasons from different obediences gathered at the Col de Vergio in Corsica, France, nearly 1,500 metres above sea level, for a summer lunch.
Among those attending was Cardinal François Bustillo, Bishop of Ajaccio. According to LeCanardEnchaine.fr (August 18), the Cardinal spoke at length about “peace”.
The Cardinal is one of the rising stars of the French episcopate.
Seated beside him was Jean-Félix Acquaviva, the former autonomist MP currently under investigation for alleged passive corruption (offering positions to young women in exchange for sexual favours). Acquaviva has denied the allegations.

Slovak pro-LGBT Catholic priest Adam Štefanec, 29, of the Diocese of Žilina said in an August 12 video that he does not like the word “God.” Rev. Štefanec believes that the term had accumulated so many associations that it no longer speaks to people today. “I try to find words that are universal,” he said, naming “humanity” as a universal value. Asked what Christ wants from people, Rev. Štefanec said the answer is “different for everyone,” different in every age, and “constantly changing.” Previously, Rev. Štefanec has supported homosex civil partnerships and said that homosexuality is not a sin.

Only 45% of US Bishops Say Homosexuality Disqualifies from Priesthood

The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock.
The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025.
The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder.
On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination.
The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things:

St. Bridget was told by the Lord that bad priests are not truly His priests, but true betrayesr, worse than Judas in some ways, because they sell Christ after He has already redeemed the world. They handle the sacred Host while living in lust, greed, and double lives, then return to sin with firm intention.
The priesthood is the greatest dignity on earth, but also carries the strictest judgment (James 3:1).

THE GREATEST LAND GRAB IN AMERICAN HISTORY IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW — AND PEOPLE ARE PANICKING
RFK Jr. argues America is in the middle of the biggest transfer of residential real estate in modern history. In Texas, there are reportedly more than 200,000 homes currently listed for sale, with some estimates putting the number closer to 300,000. At the same time, foreclosures are accelerating and tens of thousands of households are reportedly more than six months behind on their mortgage payments. Then there's property taxes.
Across the country, homeowners, especially seniors, are struggling to keep up with soaring tax bills. Some families have reportedly lost homes over unpaid property taxes after investors stepped in to purchase tax liens. Meanwhile, younger Americans are finding it harder than ever to buy their first home.
