On the return flight to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the decision of Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, to enforce "blessings" for homosexual couples in his archdiocese. Leo XIV replied: "First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. …Bontsi
To insinuate or affirm that God can bless two unrepentant homosexual partners living in concubinage is a diabolical blasphemy. Malachi 2:2 I will send a curse on you, and I will turn your blessings into a curse.
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.

Mocking the biblical Jesus Christ, the Marxist apostate Robert Prevost recited the *Regina Caeli* before an image of a black woman with a black baby on her back. Prevost celebrated a Marxist, inculturated "Mass" at the Malabo Stadium, before an image of a Black "Virgin" and a Black, Marxist "Baby Jesus." Equatorial Guinea. The Marxist Prevost—while promoting a false Black Christ—has the cynicism to proclaim himself the successor of Peter. Note that Prevost also failed to denounce the Islamization through which the impostor Muhammad de-Christianized Africa—and, by means of the sword, compelled many to apostatize and worship the false god Allah.

In Soloviev’s work *Three Dialogues*, the description of the Antichrist as an ecumenist, pacifist, and environmentalist also notes that he draws people to himself by telling each person exactly what they want to hear—much like politicians who employ demagoguery to deceive the masses. Prevost profanes the Church in order to validate Muslims, while simultaneously—whenever it suits him—donning the guise of a sheep and preaching a gospel that stands in contradiction to his own actions.
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 …
Leo XIV says that he and the Vatican rejects Cardinal Marx move to allow the blessing of homosexual couples in his Diocese: “The Holy See has already spoken to the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of couples, in this case, homosexual couples, as you asked, or couples in irregular situations, beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis in saying all people receive blessings. When a priest gives a blessing at the end of Mass, when the Pope gives a blessing at the end of a large celebration like the one we had today, they are blessings for all people. Francis’ well-known expression ‘Tutti, tutti, tutti’ is an expression of the Church’s belief that all are welcome; all are invited; all are invited to follow Jesus, and all are invited to look for conversion in their lives. To go beyond that today, I think that the topic can cause more disunity than unity, and that we should look for ways to build …Bontsi
On 22 April, ElWanderer.com wrote that one of the most painful legacies of Francis’s pontificate was the bishops he left the Church. In Argentina, Francis appointed 67 bishops, choosing them from among priests who lacked the most basic and essential qualities. On at least three occasions, Francis appointed bishops in Argentina who accepted the nomination but then renounced their consecration weeks later. The rumoured reason was 'skeletons in the closet'. The same happened with the failed Indonesian bishop, Pascalis Syukur: he was chosen as a cardinal by Bergoglio in 2024, gladly accepted the designation, but resigned a few days later. It later emerged that he had been in a romantic relationship with a woman with whom he had two children. It seems likely that Francis appointed bishops from among priests he found personally agreeable or with whom he had some affinity. ElWanderer gives another example. All of the Jesuits who formed the Bergoglian group in the 1980s are now bishops. During …Bontsi
I suspect the followers of their new religion, and Conciliarism most certainly Is a new religion, would absolutely disagree. Virtually all post-Vatican II appointees are faithfully following the false and heretical teachings of the Second Vatican Council.
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 …Bontsi
A dying Novus Ordo parish is given a Latin Mass, which naturally explodes in popularity. A few influential Novus parishioners get jealous, make up bogus accusations, and run the trads out of town. Now the parish is basically closed, and they call it a success. Sound familiar?
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 …Bontsi

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.

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 …Bontsi
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.

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.
