Trump Spoke for China’s Catholics—The Pope Stayed Silent

Between May 14 and 15, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the first bilateral summit took place between the leaders of what are often considered the two current superpowers, Donald Trump’s United States of America and Xi Jinping’s China. The event evoked the summits of the Cold War, when the opposing pole to the West was embodied by the Soviet Union, but today, although there are some parallels, many circumstances are drastically different.

A priest targeted after refusing communion to a "married" homosexual

This case raises a fundamental question: is it better to speak the truth of the Church’s teaching, or to remain silent to avoid accusations and controversy?

A Catholic priest in Spain faces backlash after refusing communion to a man in a same-sex civil union, sparking a debate on Church doctrine.

In the Synodal Church Every Month is Pride Month

The Church that once was a sign of contradiction to the world, has been hijacked by men who are Pied Pipers leading souls to hell.

Let God Arise - Reconquest - 2026-05-28 –

Not only has the Chair of My Peter been usurped in its authority, but in its magisterium.

Papal omnipotence, the crisis of confidence in the Church and the wounds of ecclesial unity

Fr. Martin Grichting, a prominent Swiss canonist and former vicar general of the Diocese of Coire, came to prominence in 2021 when he resigned from his posts in response to the power grab orchestrated by “Francis” to impose a Bergoglian bishop. Here he delivers a full-fledged indictment of the heretical continuum of the anti-papal “Francis-Leo” governance and its most tragic consequences, namely a break with Tradition—a break that would not morally authorize him to excommunicate the SSPX. His brilliant indictment is creating a buzz. But THE question remains: Is Léon a true, legitimate pope, or an antipope? We know the answer. But it is slow to enter this debate.

Reggie Littlejohn urges Trump, Starmer to pressure China for Jimmy Lai’s release

‘The risk to his life is immediate. Any further delay may amount to a death sentence,’ human right activist Reggie Littlejohn warned regarding the ailing Jimmy Lai.

People gather in front of the Chinese Consulate General to protest the unjust conviction of media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai on February 14, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. Jimmy Lai is a Hong Kong media entrepreneur who has stood up for the freedom of the Press. He has been held since December 2, 2020 and was convicted for violating Beijing's imposed National Security Law on Hong Kong, which was passed in June 30, 2020. The prosecution retroactively prosecuted him on his activities, which were done prior to June 30, 2020

Leo XIV or the sanctification of Europe's invasion

He wants to put us on our knees but not to pray. Magnificent analysis by Fernando Paz

On our knees, subjected to the prevailing order of the world and its migratory invasion. Thus—says Fernando Paz, from the depths of his faith—the Pope wants to place us, whose Dicastery has even «congratulated the Spanish Government on its economic and social progress» (sic). Yesterday we lamented the absence of criticism from Spanish Catholics regarding the blessings the Pope has granted to the socialist government and its migratory invasion. Here, then, in the vibrant plea of Fernando Paz, we find a clear exception to such pusillanimity.

P.S. (P.S.O.E., Sánchez) hopes a synodalized Pope and a well-managed World Cup will give him a judicial respite

The journey of Leo XIV has already begun with signs worthy of comment, both from the progressive drift of the Church in Spain and the confusion in the Vatican over Bergoglio’s legacy, the so-called synodality.

Pedro Sánchez hopes a synodalized Pope and a well-managed World Cup will distract from his legal troubles.

Joseph Nicolosi Jr: Therapeutic Freedom Forbidden to Desire Dissenters?

There are subjects where our era, which believes itself passionately free, suddenly becomes very authoritarian again. It proclaims that everyone must be able to « be themselves », choose their life, their identity, their body, their narrative, their truth. But let an adult say: « I do not want to be defined by my sexual attractions; I want to work on them, understand them, order them, perhaps see them diminish », and contemporary great liberalism immediately transforms into a prison guard.
