A formal complaint of homosexual abuse against Italian-born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 74, has been hand-delivered to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima on March 31, reports InfoVaticana.com. The dossier was simultaneously sent to pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Bishop Santarsiero is the Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference and Bishop of Huacho. The accusation is systematic homosexual abuse and psychological mistreatment of individuals under his authority. Vulnerable Minor from Poor Rural Background The main complaint comes from an anonymous young layman called “D.” He is now around thirty years old, originally from a rural area in northeastern Peru and from a humble, large family. His testimony claims that the abuse began at the Catholic high school of the Diocese of Huacho and continued for several years. According to the complaint, the alleged acts include forced hugs, genital touching, and pressure …Bongata
This is Easter Mass in 1940. Does anyone, serious about their faith, genuinely think Vatican II and the Novus Ordo and John Paul II’s communion in the hand standing were improvements on Catholic tradition?
In an article by Joseph Shaw, he states that in 878 Thomas Aquinas said only the consecrated hands of a priest should touch the Eucharist. How Ancient Is Communion in the Hand?
Communion in the hand is beautiful and reverent. Communion in the hand was the standard of the Catholic Church for the first 800 years because Jesus said "Take and Eat", not "open your mouth and stick out your tongue"
Last week, Elisa Martinez of the New Mexico Alliance for Life discovered that the Catholic Charities of Central New Mexico (CCASFNM) promoted a Planned Parenthood-sponsored event called the “Lavender Prom” as well as the Transgender Day of Visibility. Martinez reported: On Holy Tuesday, the organization promoted “Trans Day of Visibility.” More alarming, the next day on Holy Wednesday, it promoted a Planned Parenthood sponsored program of TeenMpower, a “Lavender Prom” event aimed at youth under 18 to intermingle with adults, described as “teens and allies.” The event encourages participation across a broad age range of young teens with adults offering “free rapid HIV testing” during the event. In fact, the 2024 Lavender Prom featured 4-5 grown adult males and drag performers attending Planned Parenthood’s TeenMpower event. It seems fitting that CCASFNM should promote Planned Parenthood on Spy Wednesday. But given this information, it seemed unlikely that this would be a one-off …

Tue Apr 7, 2026 - 4:27 pm EDTWed Apr 8, 2026 - 6:02 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — During a press conference with Hungarian President Viktor Orbán, Vice President JD Vance urged Hungarians to resist strong-arm tactics from the European Union’s powerful bureaucracy, headquartered in Brussels, that threatens the nation’s sovereignty. “There have been too few people to stand up for western civilization,” Vance said. “The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers, and they’ve done it all because they hate this guy (Viktor Orban),” the Vice President said. “Why are bureaucrats in Brussels telling social media companies what information they’re giving to Hungarian voters?” he asked. “Hungarians are sovereign in their own country and they should be able to look at whatever information they would like to … without somebody in a faraway capital treating …
The Heralds of the Gospel announced on April 5 in São Paulo that priestly ordinations will resume in April 2026, following a suspension in place since 2019. 31 acolytes will be ordained as deacons on April 11 and 26 deacons to the priesthood on April 12. The ordinations concern members of the clerical society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli, which is associated with the Heralds of the Gospel. The diaconal ordinations will be conferred by Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães, archbishop emeritus of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil. The priestly ordinations will be presided over by Raymundo Damasceno Assis, archbishop emeritus of Aparecida and Pontifical Commissioner. Ordinations within the Heralds had been suspended following a Vatican intervention that began in 2017 and was reinforced in 2019 with the appointment of a Pontifical Commissioner. During this period, candidates for ordination remained in a state of waiting, and no formal public accusations or clear timeline for resolution …Bongata

Hegseth: Trump 'chose mercy' on Iran By Ryan King Secretary of War Pete Hegseth underscored how the US could've taken far more brutal action against Iran, but President Trump opted for mercy instead. "They couldn't defend against it. President Trump had the power to cripple Iran's entire economy in minutes," Hegseth said, referring to energy and bridge infrastructure in Iran. "But he chose mercy." "He spared those targets because Iran accepted the cease-fire under overwhelming pressure. The new Iranian regime understood that a deal was far better than the fate that awaited them." Trump tells The Post in-person Iran talks will happen ‘very soon' — but reveals why JD Vance might not attend By Steven Nelson WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that he expects peace talks with Iran to happen in Pakistan “very soon” following the Tuesday cease-fire deal — but that Vice President JD Vance may not attend due to security concerns.

Trump’s F-bomb post was appalling and offensive, and that was what he intended. But why? Why be ugly on purpose? Like everything Trump tweets, it was for a reason. Even the Times’s TDS-inflicted experts agree that Iran cannot win militarily. It’s just a matter of time. So the only way Iran can ‘win’ is politically. Iran’s strategy is to wait out Trump’s approval rating. That’s their whole plan. They plan to hold out until Trump’s own supporters make him stop. Treasonous corporate media is enthusiastically helping Iran. Trump’s offensive tweet was meant to convey one simple message to the mullahs: I don’t care about the politics. I’m moving forward anyway. Don’t test me.
The devil has sifted your earthly illusions, skillfully employing his wit and his charms but he was permitted for higher conclusions, God bless you, God keep you, Dear Brothers in Arms.
Letter to the Timothies They want you to join in, give up your last breath, become like the others: uneasy, annoyed and trapped in the working of fiefdom of death, the former empire Our Lord had destroyed. * The world has gone bigger, you're forced to the border, behold modern trends, beware of their Geist and firmly preserve the right ancient order, the order of God and His Holy Christ. * Ignore all the sirens, the voice for the stulted, wherever you struggle, just fight the good fights, this way you will hear the words of Exultet in depths of the darkest and longest of nights. * The devil has sifted your earthly illusions, skillfully employing his wit and his charms but he was permitted for higher conclusions, God bless you, God keep you, Dear Brothers in Arms.
Young Angel’s Descent Marks Easter in Spain’s Tudela | Shalom World News The Spanish town of Tudela marked Easter Sunday with its traditional “Descent of the Angel”, a ceremony that brings Holy Week to a close. Thousands gathered in the Plaza de los Fueros to watch the event. This year, a seven-year-old girl, Enma Madorrán, played the role of the angel. Secured by a harness, she was lowered from the Clock House into the square, where she symbolically announced the resurrection of Jesus to the Virgin Mary. She removed the black veil covering the Virgin’s face, a sign of mourning, and the crowd welcomed the moment with applause. The ceremony dates back to the 13th century and has been held in its current form since the 1600s. The role of the angel, once limited to boys, has been open to girls since 2008.
International law is invoked only when it suits one’s purposes, Cardinal Pietro Parolin told the magazine Dialoghi in its recent edition: “Many governments have expressed outrage over the attacks on Ukrainian civilians by Russian missiles and drones, imposing sanctions on the aggressors. It does not seem to me that the same has happened in the case of the tragedy of Gaza’s destruction…” Vatican Believes in United Nations Furthermore, Cardinal Parolin praised the United Nations: “The Holy See continues to believe in the importance of the United Nations”. He only adds that “vetoes have limited the UN’s capacity to intervene.” Leo XIV in Communion with Communists' Bishops Regarding relations with China, Cardinal Parolin said that the secret agreement from 2018 is not a concordat or a political-diplomatic agreement, but rather a regulation of the process for appointing bishops. For him, the only decisive factor is communion with the Successor of Peter: “The fact that all bishops in …Bongata

Mario Costabile on Reviving Your Parish with The "Amaze" Experience & Eucharistic Missions What does it actually look like to hear God’s voice? Mario Costabile, founder of Array of Hope, joins us to discuss his powerful documentary Vocation and the mission to make faith relatable for a new generation. In this episode, we sit down with executive producer Mario Costabile to explore the ongoing impact of Vocation, a film that follows six men through the raw, honest process of discerning the priesthood. Mario shares why "discerning out" can be just as holy as being ordained, and how the film is helping men across the country become stronger husbands, fathers, and disciples. We also dive into Rise Up Live, the hit Catholic variety show currently in its third season on Catholic TV, and discuss how parishes can bring "Steubenville on steroids" to their own communities through the Amaze Experience and the Behold Eucharistic Mission.

The "Fog" of Disbelief Abril 12, 2026 - Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) Dear brothers and sisters, as Cardinal Cantalamessa has reminded us several times, over the past 150 years, modernity has spread a different narrative of the death of God in the West. A narrative that, instead of exploding in the joy of the Resurrection, as the Church attests, ends, as theorized by one of its most authoritative representatives, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in the sad wandering of the "superman" or the "beyond man" in an infinite nothingness. What good news, what a wonderful alternative, what boundless joy would be unleashed in the hearts of the men and women of our no longer Christian Western world in this beginning of the third millennium if, tired of wandering in the fog of disbelief, they awaken in their hearts the desire to contemplate and touch, like St. Thomas, the "signs" of God's merciful love manifested in Jesus His Son. Signs that the Risen Lord never …Bongata
Bishop Hervé Giraud of Viviers, France, has ordered the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND), a Novus-Ordo community, to stop accepting new members and to suspend all religious vows, following a recent court ruling involving the community’s former superior, Fr Bernard Domini. The decision, announced on 30 March, follows a French court sentencing the former leader for “abuse of weakness”. However, the community’s lawyer described the ruling as 'close to an acquittal'. Both sides have appealed the verdict, meaning the case is not final. The bishop presented the measure as a precautionary step, but it has drawn strong criticism. Some families argue that it disregards the presumption of innocence and disrupts long-standing vocations. Parents have accused the bishop of “abuse of power” and of “destroying the religious lives” of their children by preventing them from making commitments that had been prepared for over many years. Bishop Giraud has since said [=words], he is willing …Bongata
