Archdiocese of New York Agrees To Pay $800,000,000 in Sex Abuse Settlement - Protestia

News
Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors.
So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses.
The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb.
The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.”

Polish Nuncio Conferred Confirmation in the Roman Rite

On 2 May, the Apostolic Nuncio to Poland, Antonio Filipazzi, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Roman rite on 50 young people close to the Institute of the Good Shepherd in Poland.
The ceremony took place at the former Camaldolese church in Bielany, Warsaw.
Afterwards, a Mass was celebrated, with the nuncio assisting from the throne.
The Institute of the Good Shepherd has been working in the Archdiocese of Warsaw for 10 years.
Archbishop Filipazzi is a papal loyalist. He praised Pope Francis in 2025 as an "untiring shepherd of the universal Church" who devoted "all his energy to the Church and to all humanity".

@Albert Allies Spanis Why do you say that?

Meanwhile, The Tablet magazine reported May 4 that Pezzi had addressed the circumstances of his resignation at a Mass on the day of the announcement. The archbishop reportedly said that, “to make it clear and not spread any conspiracy theories or incorrect rumors, I want to announce that I have resigned because of my health, which does not allow me to manage this beloved, beautiful diocese as I should.”

Archbishop of Moscow resigns citing health problems - The Tablet

Pope Benedict XVI appointed the Italian-born Archbishop Paulo Pezzi in 2007, succeeding Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz who had helped establish the archdiocese after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The Pope accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi FSCB from the Archdiocese of Our Lady of Moscow 10 years before the standard retirement age.
In a statement on 2 May, the Holy See announced the resignation of Pezzi, 65, and the appointment of Bishop Nikolai Dubinin OFM Conv, an auxiliary in the archdiocese, as apostolic administrator sede vacante.
The announcement did not specify any reason for the resignation. Under Canon 401 §2 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, a bishop under the age of 75 “who has become less able to fulfil his office because of ill health or some other grave cause is earnestly requested to present his resignation from office”.
The archdiocese announced the resignation the same day during midday Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, where Archbishop Pezzi …

French Universities Are Transforming Into Soviet Courts – Allah's Willing Executioners

Awarding of doctoral degrees by Sorbonne Universities on May 14, 2011.

It is no longer a secret that universities have become one of the arenas where some of today’s fiercest ideological battles are being fought: research and knowledge are being subjected to the dictates of wokeism, in defiance of academic freedom—a glorious European legacy dating back centuries. In France, the phenomenon has reached such proportions that lecturers are forced to organise themselves to fight against what sometimes takes the form of relentless harassment.
In many French universities, a climate of intellectual terror prevails that is not—minus the physical elimination—unlike the “terrorism without the gulag,” to use the phrase of the Quebec intellectual Mathieu Bock-Côté during the heyday of the Soviet Union. Some professors and researchers, hounded for non-conformist views and for the content of their courses deemed controversial, find themselves …

Holy Land becomes 'Christian Disneyland' - Jerusalem Abbot

Christians of all denominations now make up less than two per cent of the population of the Holy Land, Benedictine Abbot Nikodemus Schnabel told Aid to the Church in Need on 29 April.
“My concern is that the Holy Land could become a kind of Christian Disneyland,” he said.
He warned that while the holy sites may remain, the region could lose its indigenous Christian communities, leaving places central to Christianity without ordinary Christian family life.
He said that economic hardship was a major driver of emigration and noted that many local Christians depended on tourism, which had struggled since 2019 due to the pandemic and regional conflict.
“People are leaving because they see no future,” he said.

The Doctrinal Argument for Imperfect General Council

1. The Dire State of the Church Today
It is common knowledge that since the revolution of Vatican II, the enemies of God, through their words and deeds, have worked tirelessly to destroy the Catholic Faith. Through teachings contrary to the Faith of our Fathers, through revolutionary changes in the liturgy, and through false interreligious dialogue, they have accomplished the wildest dreams of all those who, for centuries, have conspired to destroy the Church of the Incarnate Word.
They attacked the Faith at the Second Vatican Council by substantially changing the holy doctrine of the Church. They attacked the sacraments and, in particular, the rites of priestly ordination and episcopal consecration. They transformed the Mass, turning it into a Protestant worship service. They perverted canon law, traditional devotions, and all the other treasures of the Holy Church.
To make these great evils worse still, it may be said without fear of being mistaken that these enemies of God have found …More

Innisfil Pride Founder Convicted On 7 Counts of Sex Trafficking – Allah's Willing Executioners

A prominent Canadian LGBT Pride leader has been found guilty of seven counts of sex trafficking. Despite the jury verdict, Jake Tucker, the founder of Innisfil Pride, maintains his innocence and claims the victims are unreliable and the police “botched” the investigation.
While the publicly-available details on the offenses had previously been limited due to court proceedings, new information from the case paints a disturbing picture.
According to Juno News, the allegations against Tucker first surfaced in 2022 when one woman came forward to police alleging she had been sex trafficked by Tucker for years. Police then located another victim who similarly revealed she had been subjected to sex trafficking by Tucker.
In court, the Crown argued that Tucker advertised the women for sexual services, drove them to and from “client appointments,” and drugged them when they did not want to work. One woman told the court Tucker used a taser on her to force her into compliance. Prosecutors …

Thank you SSPX for telling the truth regarding Russia!

Russia has one of the highest rates of abortion in the world and its birth rate—1.4 children per woman—is well below the replacement rate of 2.1. Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian Orthodox Church was seen acting as an apologist for military aggression, going so far as to frame this violation of moral and international law as a “holy war.” Moreover, the Russian Orthodox Church maintains a position of hostility toward the UGCC, going so far as to assert that it should be abolished and its members folded into Russian Orthodoxy. With respect to relations with Rome, the Russian Orthodox Church has and continues to take an instrumental approach, drawing close to Vatican officials when it is politically expedient while repudiating any idea of reunion as nothing less than a false compromise with heretics.

This link is the most up to date 2026 statistics.
This is the same kind of rubbish tactics that Francis and Leo use to present a point, omitting the whole truth.
In doing so, this article by the SSPX leaves us to wonder about the validity of other posted publications by that organization.

Saint Joseph used as a weapon by Archbishop Bugnini - Pax Orbis

Adding Saint Joseph to the canon of the Mass was the thin edge of the wedge of liturgical change. Once that was accepted, changing the Mass became normalised.

Silvester Donald McLean
We have just celebrated the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker on May 1, instituted by …. Msgr Bugnini!
This was brought home to me when I picked up my mother’s Daily Missal, which was presented to her as a wedding present on 31 August 1935. It is almost unusable today, even for the last acceptable version of the Mass (1962) because the Bugnini changes had altered the Mass so much.
I want to concentrate on the first change that took place circa 1954, and was the first to use Saint Joseph as a weapon. It was a change to the calendar only and therefor fairly easily sold. For comparison I will use the
Roman Catholic Daily Missal from the Angelus Press, probably the most common Daily Missal in use today for the Mass of all Times. The Angelus Missal is an edited edition of my mother’s Missal of 1935 compiled …

Transalpine Redemptorists Become Sedevacantists: "No Recognition of Leo XIV"

The Transalpine Redemptorist community has proclaimed itself sedevacantist. In a letter dated 2 May, they wrote: "The pre-Vatican II popes condemned indifferentism as a deadly heresy. The post-Vatican II claimants to the papacy have embraced it, promoted it and acted upon it."
The group has three monasteries. The community's mother house is located in Papa Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland. They also have a house in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand, and a pioneer community in the Diocese of Great Falls–Billings, Montana, USA.
In 2008, they broke away from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X in order to obtain regularisation from the Vatican, they were then invited by diocesan bishops to establish priories in New Zealand and Montana. Critics accuse the community of fostering a personality cult surrounding the two leading priests.
In their new letter, signed by all the members, they state that "the modernist presence within the structures and hierarchy of the official Church has gone …More

Unfortunately, their statement (in spite of many precious remarks and quotations, and in spite of their courage amidst the present standard of "dumb dog") is somewhat absurd. They call for the "imperfect council" to judge the matter of post-conciliar popes and pronounce canonical judgement on Prevost but at the same time they want to see at the council only those who have already judged the above claiming that - starting from Montini up to Prevost - there was no pope. Thus, it would be the council of the matter already judged.
Second thing is a quite grotesque perception of the Petrine office i.e. Pope never errs, also in questions of discipline, so you cannot resist him in any matter - all you can do is... just proclaim that he is no Pope at all.
Third is the question of distinctions between heresy and proposal close to heresy or one that favors heresy or error - only heresy (public and notorious) excludes from the Church (thus the Petrine Office), the error does not.

Sainte Monique, Veuve
Née en Afrique du Nord à Tagaste vers 330, sainte Monique se maria à un païen de caractère violent qu’elle convertit par ses vertus. Devenue veuve, elle se dévoua à son fils Augustin, dont l’esprit était corrompu par l’erreur manichéenne et le cœur par les mœurs dissolues de Rome.
« Nuit et jour elle priait ». Elle pleura son fils « avec plus de larmes que d’autres mères n’en répandent sur un cercueil ». Dieu accueillit avec miséricorde les prières et les larmes de Monique et rendit ce fils à sa mère en le ressuscitant à la vraie vie. C’est après avoir eu la joie d’assister au baptême de son fils que sainte Monique mourut à Ostie en 387. Elle est restée le modèle des épouses et des mères de famille chrétiennes.

BREAKING: 'He is no Pope at all' – Traditional Redemptorists reject Leo XIV and predecessors - LifeSite

Sat May 2, 2026 - 10:16 am EDTSat May 2, 2026 - 2:03 pm EDT
(
LifeSiteNews) — The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, a traditionalist Catholic congregation based on Papa Stronsay in Scotland, have issued a declaration denouncing Paul VI through to Leo XIV as “papal pretenders”, and condemning the reforms of the Second Vatican Council as having “brought about a major schism from the Mystical Body.”
The community – often called the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – was founded by Father Michael Mary Sim in 1987 under the auspices of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X, at the encouragement of Cardinal Édouard Gagnon. It was reconciled with the Vatican in 2012 and has operations in the U.S. and New Zealand.
The letter attached to the declaration explains the community’s position regarding the state of the Church following Vatican II, detailing the prior teaching of the Church and arguing that there has been a significant departure from it.
