24-Year-Old Monk of the Transalpine Redemptorists Presumed Found Dead

The body of the missing monk of the sedevacantist Transalpine Redemptorists appears to have been found. According to Police Scotland, an as yet unidentified body was recovered from the sea near the island of Stronsay on Wednesday morning.
The family of the missing monk has been informed. The cause of death has not yet been established.
The missing monk was the New Zealander Justin Evans, 24. He took the religious name Brother Ignatius Maria.
He disappeared in mid-April from the order’s monastery on Papa Stronsay in Orkney. Police searches involving helicopters and boats had continued for weeks.
The Diocese of Aberdeen declined further comment while police investigations remain ongoing.

Eternal rest grant Justin Evans, O Lord. Let the perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen...The diocese has nothing to say about this incident (except perhaps pray for him) because as a sedevacantist sect, the Transalpines have severed relations with the diocese and the Vatican.

The waters there are quite rough! It is a difficult place to live. Eternal Rest Grant unto him O Lord! And let perpetual light shine upon him! May the Divine assistance remain with us, and the souls of the Faithful departed rest in peace. I am confident he was "prayed up!"

Researchers name moth species after Pope Leo XIV

“The pontiff is a strong advocate of climate and environmental protection, and we hope that his voice may serve as an example for humanity,” researchers wrote.
Researchers have named a moth species “Pyralis papaleonei,” or “Pope Leo moth,” in honor of the Holy Father.
“The new species is dedicated to the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV,” authors Peter Huemer, Lauri Kaila, and Andreas H. Segerer wrote in a
research article on the species. “The pontiff is a strong advocate of climate and environmental protection, and we hope that his voice may serve as an example for humanity.”
In the journal, Nota Lepidopterologica, the entomologists said the species was discovered on the Mediterranean island of Crete. It is a medium-sized species with a 2-centimeter wingspan, gold spots, and prominent white bands.
“Furthermore, due to its distinctive coloration and overall appearance, the new species belongs to a group of Pyralidae whose species names refer to high secular or ecclesiastical …

Cardinal Parolin Speaks of Possible Canonical Penalties for German Bishops

It is premature to foresee an intervention by the Holy See regarding the German bishops on the blessings for homosexuals. Cardinal Pietro Parolin said this at the Augustinianum to present the book “Robert Francis Prevost. Free Under Grace”, as reported by VaticanNews.va on May 6.
At this moment, Cardinal Parolin said, there is “dialogue”: “Let us see what happens.”
He reiterated that the decision belongs to the Pope.
“But in any case," he continued, “we have already for some time begun a dialogue, each expressing our own views.”
Cardinal Parolin hopes that sanctions will not be necessary and that problems may be resolved peacefully, as should be the case in the Church.

Rector of Paris Mosque Accuses Canon Français Banquets of “Exclusion” – Allah's Willing Executioners

Detail from Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry (between 1485 and 1486), a 22.5 x 13.6 cm painting on vellum by Jean Colombe (1430–1493), located in the Condé Museum in Chantilly, Oise, France.

The controversy
surrounding the banquets organised by Le Canon français shows no sign of abating. The initiative, launched by two young entrepreneurs to revive traditional banquets centred on culinary specialities from across France, has come under fire from the press and the Left on the grounds that it perpetuates an ideology of exclusion and promotes far-right ideas. The rector of the Paris Mosque has spoken out publicly to, in turn, attack these festive gatherings which bring together several thousand enthusiastic guests in towns and cities across France.
In a video dated April 29th, Chems-Eddine Haffiz, rector of the Paris Mosque—who, given his official position, is regarded as a kind of spokesman for Islam in France—lashed out at the …

French Bishop Removes Three Conservative Priests After Parish Disputes

The Diocese of Amiens, northern France, has announced that it will not renew the mission of three conservative priests from the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon after months of “growing tensions” within the parishes.
Fathers François-Régis Favre, Éloi Legrand, and Pierre-Marie Brochery, began serving in the parishes of Albert, Bray-sur-Somme, Mailly-Maillet, and Acheux in September 2025. They will depart at the end of the current pastoral year.
In a statement released on April 27, Bishop Gérard Le Stang said the decision followed “a long period of reflection” and consultations with diocesan clergy and parishioners. He described the situation as having created a “deep and lasting disruption” within the communities.
Cassocks, Novus Ordo in Latin
The priests drew criticism from some parishioners for wearing cassocks, celebrating the Novus Ordo partly in Latin, and emphasizing moral teaching.
Complaints also emerged regarding what some described as divisive preaching.

In the false church, truly Catholic priests have a very difficult time because they do not cooperate with the abomination dictated by Rome.

This afternoon, 28 new recruits of the Pontifical Swiss Guard swore allegiance to the Roman Pontiff, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. The ceremony takes place every year on May 6th, the date in 1527, when 147 Swiss Guards died defending Clement VII during the Sack of Rome.

Today a few young mates swore their loyalty to the Pope 🇻🇦 🤍
Always such a moving ceremony… even if sadly this time we couldn’t experience it outdoors 🌧️
May the Lord Jesus guide and protect these young men who came to the Vatican carrying so many hopes, dreams and aspirations

Church in Mozambique Destroyed in Islamist Attack

Islamists attacked the parish of St. Louis de Montfort in Meza, Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique, on April 30.
According to Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), militants entered the parish in the afternoon and destroyed the church, parish offices, missionaries’ residence, and kindergarten.
Buildings were set on fire and the historic church was reduced to rubble.
The parish was founded in 1946 and was one of the main Catholic landmarks in the region.
Bishop António Juliasse of Pemba said civilians were captured and forced to listen to speeches during the attack. The Cameroonian missionaries serving the parish were not present when the attackers arrived and were unharmed.
There were no confirmed deaths during the April 30 attack.
The insurgency in Cabo Delgado has continued since 2017 and has caused thousands of deaths and displaced more than one million people. Church officials say at least 118 churches and chapels have been destroyed during the conflict.

Africa has been the Russian and Chinese stomping ground since the European powers have yielded it to the communist takeover. Think Rhodesia for example. The Muslim's are armed to the teeth by these evil unholy powers to destroy Western civilization. Blaming it always on the actors and not the producers is shortsighted!

Muslims are not the majority in Mozambique. I don't understand why Christians aren't organizing for defense.

This undated photo provided by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department shows Dana Rivers, who was found guilty of triple murder. Rivers gained national attention when she had a sex-change operation nearly 20 years ago.

A San Jose transgender activist and former teacher who gained national attention over a legal dispute with her one-time employer was found guilty Thursday of murdering three people in 2016, prosecutors confirmed.
Dana Rivers, 67, was found
dripping in her victims’ blood outside a home on Dunbar Street in Oakland on Oct. 11, 2016, according to police. At the scene, 57-year-old Patricia Wright and her wife, 56-year-old Charlotte Reed, were found stabbed and shot. Wright’s son, 19-year-old Toto Diambu, was also shot to death.

Tucho Repeats: German Blessing for Homosexuals Lacks Vatican Approval

Cardinal Tucho Fernández repeated to VaticanNews.va on May 6 that the German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. The pro-homosexual cardinal is a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
He stated that a letter he sent in November 2024 regarding an earlier draft of the German bishops’ blessing guidelines remains fully applicable to the final version approved in April 2025. The German bishops’ document in question is titled Blessing Gives Strength to Love. They falsely claimed Vatican support for their guidelines.
The Vatican’s release of the November 2024 letter was “in agreement with Pope Leo XIV.”
“That letter is the only and final response,” Tucho told Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, chairman of the German bishops’ liturgy commission, during a meeting in the Vatican on November 12, 2025.
Tucho explained that although the final German text differs somewhat from the original draft …Kara

By refuting the formal ritual of the pseudo-blessing of sodomitic concubines—devised by the schismatic German apostates—Tucho reaffirms his own sacrilegious and "informal" pseudo-blessing for sodomitic concubines; while it might appear that he is taking a step backward, in reality he is moving forward by reaffirming his own pseudo-blessing.

New report suggests the Synod still cannot speak clearly on homosexuality

Platforming active dissent from Church teaching on homosexuality while also giving a hat-tip to that same teaching, the latest advisory document from the synod is a textbook case in the style of the entire affair.
On May 5, the
final report of Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality was published. Led by Peruvian Cardinal Carlos Gustavo Castillo Mattasoglio, the group is one of 10 established at the direct command of Pope Francis.
It is the latest study group report to emerge from the synod and it demonstrates why so many notable prelates raised concerns about the event, given that it makes a token nod to Church teaching on homosexuality while simultaneously undermining it somewhat by the nature of the views the report platforms and promotes.
