On 17 April, Portugal’s parliament passed a law banning flags displaying ideologies, parties or associations — including rainbow flags — from public buildings. The law requires these flags to be removed within 30 days. This measure applies to all public institutions and limits the display of foreign flags to official events, in order to reinforce state neutrality. Fines range from €200 to €4,000, with additional sanctions possible.
Le Parlement portugais a adopté une loi interdisant d’installer des drapeaux « idéologiques, partisans ou associatifs » aux façades ou à l’intérieur des bâtiments publics du pays. Cette mesure, qui concerne notamment les drapeaux arc-en-ciel et autres du lobby LGBTQ+, impose à toutes les institutions de retirer tout symbole non officiel dans les 30 jours suivant sa publication. Ce projet de loi, présenté par le CDS-PP (Parti populaire démocrate-chrétien ), a été adopté le vendredi 17 avril lors d’un vote final, avec le soutien du Parti social-démocrate (PSD), du parti souverainiste de droite Chega. Le parti Initiative libérale s’est abstenu et tous les partis de gauche et d’extrême gauche ont voté contre. La nouvelle loi interdit expressément les drapeaux de mouvements idéologiques, partisans ou de protestation, d’associations civiles ou privées (même légalement constituées), de clubs sportifs et de causes temporaires. Elle proscrit également les drapeaux étrangers, …
A Detroit parish that had previously been revitalised by the Mass in the Roman rite has now closed, reports CatholicCulture.org on April 21. St Josaphat in Detroit, Michigan, began offering the Roman Rite in 2004 when the parish was in full decline. This liturgy led to a rapid increase in attendance, particularly among younger Catholics. However, in 2012, tensions developed within the parish of St. Josaphat between Novus Ordo and Roman Rite parishioners. This followed the appointment of a new parish priest. Some older members expressed concerns about the level of involvement and financial contribution of the younger group. However, according to accounts from those involved, the Latin Mass community contributed approximately two-thirds of parish revenue. The dispute continued for several years. Finally, the parish was merged. Today, it is effectively closed, with no regular Eucharists. This is the story of a group of Catholics in a dying parish who, when presented with an unexpected …Zêde
This homosexual, Marxist, and Masonic sect—which worships false gods—hates the Traditional Holy Mass, because said Mass was declared the Official Mass of the Church until the end of time. Conversely, the *Novus Ordo* Mass permits the changes that modernist heretics—infiltrated within the Second Vatican Council—introduced under the pretext of ecumenism; an ecumenism that promotes neither the conversion of Jews who reject their Messiah, nor that of idolatrous Muslims and followers of other false religions, but rather a Masonic fraternity in which polytheism is promoted. And a false peace with those who reject the Prince of Peace. A false UNITY wherein false gods are equated with the Most Holy Trinity (such as the false god Allah), and wherein Christ is not considered necessary as Redeemer. For this reason, no effort is made to ensure that idolaters convert, believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are baptized. The synodal sect promotes the notion that Christ is no longer necessary …Zêde

ewtnnews.com/world/us/catholic-charities-ad-campa… Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) launched an advertising campaign encouraging Catholics to love and serve their neighbors with volunteer work with local CCUSA agencies. “Often we think of a neighbor as just someone who lives nearby, but itʼs more than simple geography,” a new 30-second video advertisement states. “Being a neighbor is how you show up in moments of need, when things are unsure, when small acts can be huge, and youʼre a light in someoneʼs darkest moment, showing up again and again to faithfully serve,” the advertisement adds. “Thatʼs a neighbor. Be the hope around the corner in your neighborhood nationwide.” According to a news release, CCUSA has 169 affiliates in the country and serves more than 16 million people every year.

SHOCK: Dr. Chris Shoemaker. The chromosomal karyotype of people "vaccinated" against COVID has been genetically and permanently altered: "One-third of the weight of every injection you received was deoxyribonucleic acid, which has the capacity to pass through the nucleus of your cell. And once inside, something called transfection occurs. It has nothing to do with an infection. Transfection simply means absorption into the very part of the body that contains your genetic karyotype—your chromosomes"... "Thus, these tiny fragments of DNA settle alongside the chromosomes; they are processed by certain enzymes, and the body naturally begins to integrate them into itself. And that is what they discovered"... "Regrettably, they discovered that in the liver cells—and many other tissue cells—of patients, both living and deceased, the person's chromosomal karyotype has permanently changed. Their sperm cells, their ovarian cells, their spleen cells, their immune cells—deep within the …Zêde
IMPACTANTE: Dr. Chris Shoemaker. El cariotipo cromosómico de las personas "vacunadas" contra la COVID ha sido alterado genética y permanentemente: "Un tercio del peso de cada inyección que recibieron consistía en ácido desoxirribonucleico, el cual tiene la capacidad de atravesar el núcleo de la célula. Y una vez dentro, se produce algo llamado transfección. No tiene nada que ver con una infección. La transfección significa simplemente la absorción hacia la misma parte del cuerpo que contiene su cariotipo genético: sus cromosomas"... "Así pues, estos diminutos fragmentos de ADN se alojan junto a los cromosomas; son procesados por ciertas enzimas y el cuerpo comienza, de forma natural, a integrarlos en sí mismo. Y eso es lo que descubrieron"...

Human Rights Watch (HRW) issued a report on April 15 stating that the 2018 agreement between China and the Vatican has helped the Chinese government to increase pressure on underground Catholics. It has called on Pope Leo XIV to review or repeal the agreement and to press China to end the persecution. One priest cited by HRW was denied access to banking, phone services, and passports. Furthermore, there is a de facto ban on religious practice for persons under 18.
(PerMariam) — The watchdog agency Human Rights Watch (HRW) has warned that the controversial 2018 deal between China and the Vatican has “helped the Chinese government to pressure underground Catholic communities to join the official church.” According to a detailed new report issued by HRW, the Chinese state is only increasing its persecution of underground Catholics, and is doing so aided by the framework of the 2018 deal between Beijing and the Holy See regarding the appointment of bishops. “The 2018 Holy See-China agreement on bishops has helped the Chinese government to pressure underground Catholic communities to join the official church,” HRW wrote on April 15. Image produced via AI. Having been signed in 2018 on a provisional basis, the secretive Sino-Vatican deal’s specific details remain undisclosed: a peculiar air of mystery surrounds them. It has since been renewed a number of times, most recently in 2024 for a period of four years. The agreement is believed to recognize …
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 7:08 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A mother in Austria has been fined for temporarily keeping her 10-year-old son out of school during a sexual education class. Michaela Vamos-Karandish was fined 110 euros ($128) for keeping her young son out of school for four days in March 2025 after an external sex education workshop was to take place. The workshop’s content had not been disclosed to parents beforehand. In addition, numerous sex education books – the content of which some parents found questionable – were made available in the classroom for unsupervised use by students. According to a report by ADF International, the materials included books such as Lina, the Explorer and My First Sex Education Book, which contain explicit depictions of sexual practices. Some of the books also depicted modern views on gender and family, incompatible with nature and traditional teaching. The mother argued that these violated the principle of neutrality in public schools. In a book …
Since 2023, the pro-homosex group New Ways Ministry has held three two-day meetings with US bishops to promote homosexualism, reports NCR Online (22 April). The gatherings took place at Georgetown University, St. Louis University, and the Siena Retreat Centre in Racine, Wisconsin. Seventeen bishops attended these programmes, with many being present at more than one conference. The meetings were held under the 'Chatham House Rule', which permits the sharing of information and topics discussed at the meeting. However, the names of attendees remain confidential unless a participant explicitly permits their participation or comments to be shared. Creating a pro-homosexual Church The meetings were intended for bishops who were willing "to create a more welcoming church". Bishops listened to emotional stories from gay priests, lesbian nuns, and transvestites. After one meeting, Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee said, "Dialogue and listening are essential to learning and understanding. Once …Zêde

Today, Leo XIV visited a notorious prison in Bata, Equatorial Guinea as part of his Africa tour. Inmates gathered in the courtyard, singing, dancing, and cheering, despite being soaked due to heavy rain. Leo XIV prayed with them and gave an Apostolic Blessing.

Two Israeli soldiers were sentenced to 30 days in military jail for smashing a statue of the crucified Christ in Lebanon. The Israeli army said one soldier used a sledgehammer while the other filmed; both were removed from combat duty. Six other soldiers were present and did not intervene or report the incident. According to 'The Guardian', such punishment is rare. In 2025, about 88% of alleged misconduct cases involving Israeli forces were closed or unresolved.

In Malabo, Pope Leo XIV signed the guest book after meeting with civil authorities and diplomats, briefly looking to prepared notes as he wrote. The moment drew lighthearted attention on social media, where some users joked he seemed like “the kind of person who would never cheat on an exam.”
The First Lady of Equatorial Guinea, Constancia Mangue, appeared in outfits featuring images of Pope Leo XIV during his visit. At the airport reception, she wore a light blue suit adorned with multiple portraits of the Pope. At a later official event, she wore a green dress with large portraits of Leo XIV on the front.
