On 17 May, Ukrainian FEMEN activist Inna Shevchenko, 35, staged a performance at the neo-Gothic St Elisabeth's Church in Vienna, Austria. The event was part of the 2025 Vienna Festival Weeks (Wiener Festwochen), which had a pagan theme entitled "Republic of Gods". Shevchenko has campaigned for abortion, homosexuality and blasphemy, usually half-naked. In 2012, she cut down a large wooden cross in Kyiv. In October 2025, Pope Leo XIV appointed Josef Grünwidl as Archbishop of Vienna. He was widely regarded as one of the most liberal priests in the archdiocese. Shevchenko Presents "New Form of Liturgy" At St Elisabeth's Church, Shevchenko was dressed in black. She presented what the organisers described as a 'new form of liturgy'. The event was even advertised as an "alternative Mass". Standing before the altar, Shevchenko asked, "Who speaks?" A women's choir responded, "Woman." She then wrote the word 'Woman' on a sign, held it aloft and began a speech centred on her interpretation of …ད་རུང་།
Today in his meeting with civil authorities and the diplomatic corps in Spain, Leo XIV portrayed the oppressive Islamic occupation of Spain (711-1492) as place of confrontation, but also of dialogue and encounter between religions: “The presence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, for example, constituted a long-standing political, cultural, and religious reality. During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews. At the School of Translators enhanced by Alfonso X (the Wise), experts from all three religions collaborated on translating the texts of the rich Arabic, Greek and Hebrew heritage, contributing to the dissemination of texts such as those of the philosophers Averroes (1126-1198) and Maimonides (1138-1204), among others. The cities of Córdoba and Toledo, in particular, became centers of dialogue between languages, religions and knowledge. …ད་རུང་།
Folha de S. Paulo, 12 novembre 1979 (*) Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Date du 20 mars de cette année qui touche à sa fin, un document que je n’hésite pas à qualifier de la plus belle lettre pastorale collective publiée depuis l’époque de Pie XII. Je ne l’ai connue que par un exemplaire de « Cristianità » (Piacenza, Italie, octobre 1979), qui la transcrit de « La Documentation Catholique » (5/19-8-79). Il s’agit d’un message signé par Mgr Matthew Kia Yen-Wen, archevêque de Taipei, par Mgr Joseph Kuo, archevêque de Salamina et neuf autres évêques et prélats de Formose [Taiwan]. Kuo Joshih (Guo Ruoshi), Joseph Kia Yen-Wen, Matthew Dès que je l’ai lu, j’ai décidé d’en faire un résumé pour les lecteurs de la « Folha ». Mon esprit s’est abreuvé de ce texte, limpide et cristallin, comme un voyageur du Sahara – selon l’image éculée – s’abreuverait à la source généreuse trouvée dans une oasis inattendue. Oui, j’avais soif d’entendre les évêques de la Sainte Église adopter …ད་རུང་།

Today, Leo XIV touched on the concept of a just war. During the flight from Rome to Madrid, he told Franca Giansoldati that “there is no just war” in Iran. Leo XIV pointed to his encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”, which says that just war theory is “now outdated. Today, he repeated: "I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction." Leo XIV made “overcoming the theory of the ‘just war'” one of the themes of the June 26-27 summit of cardinals he convened at the Vatican. #newsUmthcgthhs

Here's press release statement from Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, on the dismissal Monsignor Stephen Rossetti and his entire team: The Archdiocese of Washington announced today that Robert Cardinal McElroy has removed Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, N.Y., as an exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington, and ended all affiliation between the archdiocese and the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal located in Washington, D.C. Cardinal McElroy said that statements made by Monsignor Rossetti linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism. What did Msgr. Rosetti actually say that got him dismissed? Here's what he stated in a May 29 video where he discussed UFO sightings and the possibility of alien life. “There’s a danger here. As an exorcist, I wanted to raise that danger. And that is that demons like to hide… …
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti posits that instead of an open, healthy dialogue, the Church has historically fostered "a climate of repression and/or obsession" that contributes to deviant sexual behavior.
Same as Germany: Archbishop John Wester of of Santa Fe, USA, recently attended a meeting in Racine, Wisconsin, organized by the homosexual group New Ways Ministry. He wrote about this on AmericaMagazine.org on June 2. The meeting deepened his “pastoral concern, understanding and right judgment” about homosexuals. “As a Church, I fear we are not drawing near enough to our L.G.B.T.Q. brothers and sisters; we are not moving forward together on the same journey.” Archbishop Wester calls this “especially true when it comes to the experiences of our transgender and nonbinary people, many of whom feel we approach them with suspicion and hostility”. The sins by these people are for Archbishop Wester “deeply complex and personal human journeys”. His time in Racine was “an opportunity to gain a deeper, more empathetic view about transgender people”. The Archbishop started believing that “gender is determined by specialized areas within the brain” and compares sexual distortion to being left …ད་རུང་།

– Folha de S. Paulo, September 20, 1980 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira No, dear atheist. Giving a distant echo to the words of the Bishop Saint Remigius upon baptizing Clovis, the first Christian King of the Franks, I say to you: “Burn what you have adored and adore what you have burned.” Yes, burn egoism, doubt, apathy, and, moved by the love of God, love and serve and fight for the Faith, for the Church, and for Christian civilization. Sacrifice yourself. Renounce yourself. How? As they did throughout the ages, those who fought for Jesus Christ the “good fight” (2 Tim. 4:7).

The Catholic Church in Germany has opened a formal investigation into alleged Marian apparitions in a village that has attracted pilgrims for more than two decades. The Diocese of Aachen announced that Bishop Helmut Dieser has appointed a four-member commission to examine claims of supernatural phenomena reported in Sievernich, a village in North Rhine-Westphalia
The Diocese of Aachen in western Germany has set up a four-person commission to investigate alleged Marian apparitions in the village of Sievernich in the early 2000s. Pro-homosexual Bishop Helmut Dieser appointed the commission under new Vatican norms issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith for evaluating supernatural phenomena. The panel is chaired by canon lawyer Stefan Mückl of Rome. The visionary is a woman called Manuela Strack (pictured) from nearby Düren. She said she began seeing the Virgin Mary in Sievernich’s St. John the Baptist Church in the early 2000s. She described Our Lady as dressed in white with a long veil and said the messages emphasized prayer and support for those suffering. The reported apparitions attracted hundreds of pilgrims, particularly in October 2002, when Strack announced what she described as the final scheduled apparition. She later claimed to have experienced further irregular encounters until 2005. However, a second phase began in …ད་རུང་།
