The Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land strongly condemned the desecration of an image of the crucified Jesus in a Lebanese village, calling it a grave offense against the Christian faith and noting similar incidents in the region. They called for immediate disciplinary action, accountability, and firm assurances that such acts will not be repeated, while renewing their appeal to end the war.
L’Assemblea degli Ordinari Cattolici di Terra Santa ha diffuso un comunicato durissimo dopo la profanazione di un’immagine di Gesù crocifisso in un villaggio del Libano. Il testo parla di un’offesa grave alla fede cristiana e denuncia anche altri episodi contro simboli cristiani nel sud del Paese. I vescovi chiedono misure disciplinari immediate, un’accertata assunzione di responsabilità e garanzie chiare perché fatti simili non si ripetano. La Chiesa di Terra Santa rinnova il suo appello: fermare una guerra che lacera la regione da troppo tempo e scegliere una strada fatta di dialogo, responsabilità, rispetto del sacro e di ogni vita umana. da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum
Star Wars-themed "Liturgy" in German church: Rev Gerd Neumeier from the Archdiocese of Bamberg, Germany, held a Star Wars-themed church service. He linked the saga’s themes of good versus evil to Christian teachings. The church featured stormtroopers, lightsaber battles, and a “May God’s force be with you” projection. 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.
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.
The Diocese of Cremona, Italy, has announced two spring events flirting with homosexuality. A biblical-theological meeting will take place on April 24, followed by a prayer vigil on May 8 at the Church of San Giuseppe in Cambonino. The April meeting, led by Jesuit priest Father Iuri Sandrin, is intended to reflect on how homosexual relationships raise questions for Christian communities. The May vigil, presided over by Bishop Antonio Napolioni, is described as being for the overcoming of discrimination, particularly "homophobia" and "transphobia". According to the diocese, the initiatives aim to “help” homosexuals to feel more included in the Church. The announcement also references a 2025 synodal document by the Italian Bishops’ Conference, which encourages local Churches to promote homosexualism. In November 2018, Monsignor Napolioni held an ecumenical prayer vigil with Methodists and Seventh-day Adventists in Cremona. #newsNdjhryqaaq

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. #newsZfmceyuwqp
A UK Christian Pastor will face TRIAL this week for preaching a gospel message based on John 3.16 near a general hospital. He is accused of attempting to “influence” people accessing abortion. He never even mentioned this topic. This trial is important. Can Christians really be removed from public spaces not because of what they say or do - but because of what they might think??
Israeli Soldier Smashes Jesus Statue with Sledgehammer in Lebanon A shocking photo of an Israeli soldier smashing a crucifix in a southern Lebanon village that has emerged online over the weekend was authentic, the Israeli military said on Monday (April 20), condemning the desecration. The cross desecrated was part of a small shrine in the garden of a family living on the edge of the village, said Fadi Falfel, a priest in Debel. The Sun
Südlibanon: Israelischer Soldat verunstaltet Jesusfigur Die israelische Armee hat eingeräumt, dass es im Süden Libanons zu Vandalismus gegen eine Jesusfigur gekommen ist. Die Streitkräfte verurteilen den Vorfall und kündigen angemessene Maßnahmen gegen die Verantwortlichen an. Außenminister Gideon Sa’ar erklärte in einer Stellungnahme, es handele sich um „eine Geste, die unseren Werten völlig zuwiderläuft“. Die israelischen Streitkräfte (IDF) haben die Echtheit des in den sozialen Medien kursierenden Bildes bestätigt, das einen israelischen Soldaten zeigt, wie er mit einer Art Axt auf den Kopf einer Jesusstatue schlägt, die sich vom Kreuz gelöst hatte. Die Statue befand sich im christlichen Dorf Debl im Südlibanon, nahe der Grenze zu Israel. Die IDF teilte in einem Beitrag auf ihrem offiziellen Social-Media-Profil X mit, den Vorfall „mit großer Strenge“ zu behandeln, und fügte hinzu, dass „das Verhalten des Soldaten völlig unvereinbar mit den Werten ist, die von der Truppe erwartet …Zêde

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,…Zêde
"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.
A viral clip shows Irish priest Christopher Ginnelly, from the Holy Family parish in Ballycroy in the Archdiocese of Armagh in Ireland, including a petition asking God to "take Donald Trump" during the Eucharist. The congregation can be heard laughing before the cleric attempts to explain his mistake. "Sorry about that," he said, before continuing: "Take away his pain". DailyStar.co.uk reported on the video on 16 April.
Novus Ordo: This is Fr. Christopher Ginnelly, parish priest for the Church of the Holy Family in Ballycroy, praying for the death of Donald Trump. The audience starts laughing.
Lies or truth it matters not. Holes they will find like an AI bot. The best approach is to rest the tongue. The brain then fries for the want of a crumb.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6,22-29. [After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.] The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left. Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." So …Zêde
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 6,22-29. In jener Zeit stand die Menge am anderen Ufer des Sees von Galiläa; sie hatten gesehen, dass nur ein Boot dort gewesen war und dass Jesus nicht mit seinen Jüngern ins Boot gestiegen war, sondern dass seine Jünger allein abgefahren waren. Von Tiberias her kamen andere Boote in die Nähe des Ortes, wo sie nach dem Dankgebet des Herrn das Brot gegessen hatten. Als die Leute sahen, dass weder Jesus noch seine Jünger dort waren, stiegen sie in die Boote, fuhren nach Kafarnaum und suchten Jesus. Als sie ihn am anderen Ufer des Sees fanden, fragten sie ihn: Rabbi, wann bist du hierhergekommen? Jesus antwortete ihnen: Amen, amen, ich sage euch: Ihr sucht mich nicht, weil ihr Zeichen gesehen habt, sondern weil ihr von den Broten gegessen habt und satt geworden seid. Müht euch nicht ab für die Speise, die verdirbt, sondern für die Speise, die für das ewige Leben bleibt und die der Menschensohn euch geben wird! Denn ihn hat Gott, der Vater …Zêde
