Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.

By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | May 26, 2026 Although I generally admired Pope Leo’s first encyclical, I was dismayed to read, in paragraph 192: Today, more than ever, without prejudice to the right to self-defense in the strictest sense, it is important to reaffirm that the “just war” theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated. Pope Leo is not the first Pontiff to say that just-war theory is outdated. Pope Francis said the same thing. Even Pope Pius XII, who cannot be classified as a pacifist, said in his Christmas message of 1948: “The theory of war as an apt and proportionate means of solving international conflicts is now out of date.” But Pius XII, speaking in the aftermath of World War II, did not jettison just-war theory—even with the advent of The Bomb threatening new levels of mass destruction. No one short of Dr. Strangelove would think that nuclear war is “an apt and proportionate means” of resolving conflicts. A …

When the Eucharistic Lord enters classrooms | Shalom World News At Epiphany Catholic School in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, something extraordinary happened in the middle of an ordinary school day. The Eucharistic Lord was carried through the hallways, entering classrooms one by one, with students welcoming Jesus. Bells echoed through the corridors. Hymns filled the air. Teachers fell silent. Children knelt in reverence. Some bowed their heads in prayer, while others simply stared in awe at the Blessed Sacrament. For a few sacred moments, lessons paused, conversations faded, and heaven seemed to walk through the school halls. This is what Catholic education looks like when Christ is truly at the center — not just taught in textbooks but carried into everyday life. At Epiphany, students attend frequent Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and faith formation centered on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Wenn der eucharistische Herr die Klassenzimmer betritt | Shalom World News An der Epiphany Catholic School in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, ereignete sich mitten im Schulalltag etwas Außergewöhnliches. Der eucharistische Herr wurde durch die Flure getragen und betrat Klassenzimmer für Klassenzimmer, wo die Schüler Jesus willkommen hießen. Glocken läuteten durch die Gänge. Hymnen erfüllten die Luft. Die Lehrer verstummten. Kinder knieten ehrfürchtig nieder. Einige senkten die Köpfe zum Gebet, während andere einfach nur staunend auf das Allerheiligste Sakrament blickten. Für einen kurzen, heiligen Augenblick unterbrachen die Unterrichtsstunden, die Gespräche verstummten, und es schien, als ob der Himmel durch die Schulflure schritt. So sieht katholische Erziehung aus, wenn Christus wirklich im Mittelpunkt steht – nicht nur in Lehrbüchern gelehrt, sondern im Alltag gelebt. An der Epiphany besuchen die Schüler regelmäßig die Heilige Messe, die eucharistische Anbetung und die Glaubensbildung …Күберәк

Swiss Bishops Back Ban on "Conversion Therapy": The Swiss Bishops' Conference (SBK) has expressed support for proposed federal legislation criminalising conversion therapy targeting homosexuals. In a statement, the SBK "firmly" rejected such measures, calling them incompatible with "a pastoral mission founded on acceptance, truthfulness, and the protection of the individual."

On Tuesday, Leo XIV visited Castel Gandolfo, where Ferrari chairman John Elkann presented the new Ferrari Luce, the company’s first fully electric vehicle and first five-seat model. Before getting in the vehicle, Leo XIV asked: "Is this the first ever four-door Ferrari?" Leo XIV sat in the vehicle for a presentation. The same day, former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo criticized the Luce sharply: "We risk the destruction of a legend." And: "At least the Chinese won’t copy this car."
Leo XIV tests drives the new Ferrari Luce, the Prancing Horse's first fully electric car, and its first with five seats.

On Monday, Raymond Arroyo, Rev Gerald Murray and Robert Royal spoke about Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on artificial intelligence. Best quotes. On the encyclical's lack of Catholic identity "There's no sense in this entire document of what the main mission of the Church is... How is that a Church document?" — Robert Royal "Sin essentially doesn't exist in the universe of Magnifica Humanitas." — Robert Royal, "The Church is here to accompany humanity — that's a very weak description. We're not simply a walking companion and conversation buddy." — Rev Murray On international regulation “If we need effective on national and international levels regulation of AI, in theory, yes, but what kind of regulations and who's putting them in?” – Rev. Murray. “Are these going to be voted by the people or is this going to be imposed by technical committees?” – Rev Murray.

Retired Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 81, told SettimanaNews.it (May 21) that Pope Francis “felt the need to adapt doctrine to new times” regarding Humanae Vitae (1968). Francis had asked the pro-homosexual Archbishop to prepare the “necessary updates.” Monsignor Paglia wrote a text with a group of theologians, and Francis “appreciated it greatly”. The issues under discussion included homosexuality, marriage, “irregular” (sinful) situations, and Communion for the divorced and remarried. Throughout the interview, Paglia portrays Catholic moral theology - including the concept of “non-negotiable values” - as “moralistic,” based on “abstract principles,” “desk theology,” and detached from "real human experience". "Immutable vision of natural law" overturned Furthermore, Archbishop Paglia stated that the 2016 “reform” of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family involved “rethinking the concept of ‘nature’.” According to Paglia, the previous approach had rested …Күберәк
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller spoke to kath.net on May 26 about the episcopal consecrations on July 1 by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. Main quotes.. No sympathy for the FSSPX “They understand themselves as an emergency community that will remain at a distance until the millions of Catholics who have fallen into Modernism, thousands of bishops and priests, and the current Pope return to the Church which the Society of St. Pius X preserves as the holy remnant of the one true Catholic Church.” Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? “From a purely human and theological perspective, it cannot be the case that the two thousand bishops and all the popes who have gathered at the Council have been mistaken on dogmatic issues or have deviated from the apostolic tradition, with the exception of a single bishop who, through illegal episcopal ordinations alone, ensures the Church’s continued existence” No one has a right to become a bishop “Nobody has a claim to episcopal …Күберәк
Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? Cardinal Mueller errors in considering the entire Church to be represented by a few thousand Bishops in 1960. The entire Church consists of the Church militant, suffering and triumphant. It consists of all the faithful members over 2000 years.
– Folha de S. Paulo, March 15, 1970 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Today, we will wrap up this series by examining aspects of the so-called convergence policy, which Roger Garaudy invites capitalists and communists of our time to adopt. I’ll briefly outline this topic. Garaudy, an expert on religious issues for the French Communist Party, was one of the leading intellectuals who helped foster collaboration between communists and Catholics. Given the significant advantages that international communism gained and fully utilized, Garaudy’s role shouldn’t be seen just as an individual stance. The meeting between communists and Catholics was clearly a strategic move orchestrated by the top communist leadership, with Garaudy acting as their tool. Now, as he prepares for another “collaboration,” it’s clear that he is again acting on the orders of the same leadership. Communists must persuade capitalists to adopt a surrender policy similar to that of progressive Catholics in other areas.…Күберәк
Vatican Must Clarify: Is Fiducia Supplicans Withdrawn?: After the Coptic Orthodox community resumed dialogue with the Vatican following a two-year freeze because of Fiducia Supplicans, Rev Gerald Murray called for “journalistic transparency”. Leo XIV reportedly told Tawadros II that the Church does not bless homosexual couples: "The next plane interview, we have to ask: is Fiducia Supplicans withdrawn? Is the Coptic Patriarch accurately describing what you told him? Because all we’ve heard from Cardinal Fernández and the Pope himself is that Fiducia Supplicans allows informal — but still real — blessings of couples. You can say they’re blessing individuals, but that’s not what Fiducia Supplicans says. It says homosex couples. And ‘couples’ doesn’t mean individual, it means couple", Rev Murray said.
Rev Murray demands public transparency on Fiducia supplicans.

Twice Torn Down and Twice Raised Again — The Story of the Aneto Cross: In mid-April, the historic iron cross on Aneto in the Pyrenees, installed in 1951, was cut down with a grinder and thrown off the mountain. Spanish authorities opened an investigation. On May 8, French climber Maël Le Lagadec, 18, carried a self-built 35-kg wooden cross to the 3,404-meter summit to replace it. Days later, the new cross was also torn down and thrown down the slope. Spanish climbers recovered it from the snow and reinstalled it on the summit.

“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII “connive in sins” various descriptions Connivance is the act of allowing wrongdoing to be covered up or overlooked, whether actively or passively; "Connivance" derives from the Latin coniveo: "to close the eyes, to overlook."; In theological terms, connivance is a useful term, especially for the passive allowance of immoral behavior; culpable indifference or criminal sympathy with the sin; Wink at his fault, and forbear to accuse and punish him; indifference to precise regulations of religion, indisposition of heart towards "perfect holiness"; a loose …Күберәк
Light penances for grave sins do more harm than good—they condemn the penitent to even greater torment in purgatory and make the priest complicit in the sins. Moreover, does a woman understand the full gravity of her sin after receiving three Lord's Prayer prayers as satisfaction for an abortion? Will she refrain from repeating the sin next time?
