Neumeier dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi (“Obi-Wan KeNeumeier”), while the service combined adapted prayers, readings, and film music. The priest later said, he felt the service resonated with the congregation.

Mit "Macht": Erzbistum Bamberg feiert Star Wars-Gottesdienst

"Die Dunkelheit ist mächtig. Sie kennt verschiedene Formen: Einsamkeit, Egoismus, Ausgrenzung, Ablehnung. Denkst du wirklich, ein winziger Funke göttlicher Macht vermag es, das endlose Reich der Schatten und Finsternis zu bezwingen?", fragt Darth Vader den Jedi Gabriel. Sie liefern sich mitten in der Kirche der Burg Feuerstein einen Lichtschwertkampf - ein Gottesdienst der etwas anderen Art.

Diözesanjugendpfarrer Gerd Richard Neumeier hatte die Idee zum Star Wars-Gottesdienst. "In den Star-Wars-Filmen geht es um Gut und Böse, um Licht und Dunkel – also um all die Themen, die im Christentum, in der Bibel und im Leben aufleuchten“, beschreibt er den Zusammenhang zwischen Star Wars und dem christlichen Glauben. Durch den neuen Gottesdienst sollen kirchenferne Menschen, vor allem aber Jugendliche in Kontakt mit dem christlichen Glauben kommen. Und das klappt bei …

Łódź: Cardinal Meets with Latin Mass Faithful

On Sunday, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski of Łódź, Poland, met with the faithful of the Roman rite at the Chapel of All Saints in Łódź outside of the liturgy.
Cardinal Krajewski said he was happy that Catholics could attend Mass in the Roman rite at three locations within the Archdiocese of Łódź.
He added that ten priests have been assigned to this pastoral ministry of the Latin Mass under Rev. Paweł Markowski's responsibility.
Cardinal Krajewski served as Papal Almoner from 2013 to 2026. On 12 March 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed him Archbishop of Łódź.
The cardinal was renowned for his activism on behalf of transvestite prostitutes, having organised several lunches for the 'poor' with Pope Francis to which he invited dozens of transvestites.

New Report Reveals that Most Catholics Find Peace in Confession and 83% Desire the Sacrament for God's Mercy and Forgiveness

New Report Reveals that Most Catholics Find Peace in Confession and 83% Desire the Sacrament for God's Mercy and Forgiveness
The 2026 Catholic Pulse Report: The Confession Study, conducted by Vinea Research Group, was released in March 2026. The report challenges the idea that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is in "irreversible decline" and instead suggests that many Catholics are open to returning to the practice if barriers related to personal discomfort and habit are addressed.

What stood out in this report is not a vague trend line but something concrete and measurable. Confession is increasing.
In a time when the common narrative says Catholics are disengaged, this points in the opposite direction. People are returning to the sacrament that requires honesty, examination of conscience, and a real encounter with mercy.

Pope's Brother: "When He Was 7, a Mom Said He’d Be the First American Pope"

John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points.
Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.”
Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.”
Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.”
Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.”
A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.”
Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …badan

Bishop Pierre Roy Answers Questions Regarding an Imperfect General Council
"When there is no true successor of Saint Peter, the election of a Supreme Pontiff remains an important duty incumbent upon the Church. When the Church finds Herself without a Pope, as happens upon the death of the Pontiff, She is bound to provide Herself with another; that is to say, Her members must act to ensure that the Holy See is once again occupied. This shows how important it is for the Church to have a visible head, the true principle of unity."

An Open Letter to Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, S.J. - First Things

Your Eminence:
In an article recently published by a major German Catholic website, you suggested that the question of whether the Church can ordain women has not been definitively settled: “I cannot imagine how a Church can continue to exist in the long run if half of God’s people suffer because they have no access to ordained ministry.” Putting aside for a moment the questions of what, and how, suffering is caused by the Church’s ancient practice of calling only men to holy orders, your formulation raises questions about the past, present, and future.
Are you, for example, suggesting that there has been something essentially wrong with the Catholic understanding of holy orders for two millennia? How would such a notion square with the Lord’s promise to preserve his Church in truth through the continual outpouring of the Holy Spirit (John 15:16; 16:13)? The question of who can be admitted to holy orders has never been understood as a secondary matter of ecclesiastical discipline; it …

A church of accommodation to the world soon becomes a church of irrelevance to the supernatural lives of the people. It abandons the city of God for the city of man. The Protestant reformation has proven that lesson all too well.

Saint Anselm: The Beauty of God’s Surprising, Disconcerting and Mysterious Ways

Saint of the Day, April 20th 1967. Without revision of the Author
Statue of Saint Anselm outside Canterbury Cathedral
Tomorrow, the 21st, we have the feast of St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033 ca. – 1109), Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church. Intrepid in the battles of the Faith, he defended the Church against King William, the redhead.
“Christ, he used to say, does not want a slave for a wife. He loves nothing in this world so much as the freedom of His Church.”
An account of the consecration of St. Anselm published in Lives of the Saints by Rohrbacher:
The English bishops decided to consecrate Anselm as Archbishop of Canterbury, but he flatly refused because he knew of the royal intrusion into this office.
The prelates showed him the consequences of his refusal for England. The Saint replied he was aware of those problems but was old and barely able to carry himself. How could he bear the burden of an entire Church? On the other hand, it was not his nature to take care of temporal …badan

Brazilian Bishop: Young People Have Right to Traditional Liturgy

Young people have the right to "more traditional" forms of liturgical "experience", said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com.
A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”.
Bishop Amado replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39.
“It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said.
Bishop Amado suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with.
For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,…badan

In other words, Catholics have the right to the true Mass. Who would have thought?

Ave Crux

"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.

Acts 6:8-15
“They could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.”
When a person allows himself to be taught by the Holy Spirit, his language becomes pure, simple, and realistic.
John 6:22-29
“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life.”
Jesus is speaking of the reality of heaven. The food of heaven, which is also found in the Eucharist, is the Love of God; his joy and his peace.

You who are Israelites, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him.
But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,

Can Only Sacred Art Be Christian?

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
Catolicismo, December 1952 (*)
Through tall stained glass windows comes abundant but soft streams of light. This light is reflected everywhere: on the floor, the polished metal of the weapons and suits of armor, and the bronze and crystal of the immense candelabras. It even seems to touch with difficulty the ceiling ribbing and paintings overhead.
The strong yet elegant columns, with their coherent, distinct, and suave lines, open up like immense palm trees that protect the hall with their fronds of stone. The hall is strongly impregnated by a special ambience that invites one to repose without idleness or dissipation. Rather, it is a repose imbued with gravity, reflection, equilibrium and strength.
The armor and the stuffed deer enrich this ambience recalling the prowess of the hunt and the battlefield. The carved wood paneling with its elegance and warmth breaks the austerity which the stone alone perhaps would have had to the extreme. In the back on a pedestal …badan

Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV.
Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon:
“ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

Tribal Leader Issues Polygamy in Cathedral - Leo XIV Remains Silent But Catholics React

On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral.
He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'.
In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example.
He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church.
The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …badan
