Worse than Germany: During Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain in June, the Archdiocese of Madrid will not be providing confessionals at any of the large-scale events or during the youth vigil. Instead, 'listening spaces' staffed by lay pastoral workers who have received specific training for this purpose. These spaces will be located along Paseo de la Castellana. Sara de la Torre, the press speaker for the Archdiocese of Madrid, told the Substack.com account ‘The Pillar’ that the “listening spaces” do not replace confessions, but complement them. Catholics should look to confess at any of Madrid's many parishes. The “listening spaces” are intended for those who wish to have a conversation, and are “something different”. On 6 June, during the youth vigil in Plaza de Lima, there will be no confessionals. At previous church gatherings in recent decades, such as World Youth Days, the presence of priests hearing confessions was at least a sign of Catholicism and the sacrament of reconciliation. …More

Today, the Vatican’s Secretariat of the Synod released another document, 18 pages long, outlining the implementation phase of the Vatican’s synod. It follows a May 18 meeting between Cardinal Mario Grech, the secretary general of the Synod, and Pope Leo XIV. The text claims that synodality is “a constitutive dimension of the Church” (Page 9). It says that the final reports of the synod study groups “should be received and integrated” into the ongoing discernment process. One of these reports — Synod Study Group 9 — included testimonies from homosexuals as well as pro-homosexual language. At the upcoming assemblies, the document suggests broad inclusion of all kinds of people, including a “balance between men and women” and people living in “situations of fragility or marginality” [= homosexuals]. The document further recommends involving voices “not directly traceable to ecclesial structures.” And: “It might also be worth considering inviting representatives of other Christian …More

Israelische Polizei zwingt Gaza-Flottillen-Aktivisten mit gefesselten Händen in die Knie Ein Video des israelischen Polizeiminister Itamar Ben-Gvir, das Gaza-Aktivisten in demütigender Weise zeigt, hat für große Empörung in mehreren europäischen Außenministerien gesorgt.

"Es widerspricht den Werten, für die Deutschland mit Israel gemeinsam stehen will, fundamental", so der CDU-Politiker. Er sei seinem israelischen Amtskollegen Saar dankbar "für die klaren Worte, die er für dieses unsägliche Verhalten gefunden hat". Zuvor hatte der …More

And the same message is for us as well. Let us allow the sheep to become free by revealing to them that they are loved by God. Jesus is the First Shepherd, and we lead the sheep to him.

Pro-Lifers Destroy the “Babies Are Parasites” Argument Sign the pro-life petition to defund Planned Parenthood here Defund Planned Parenthood to End Abortion NOW Ready for a rematch, TFP Student Action returned to Millersville University to defend the unborn and oppose the culture of death. Although universities are supposed to be places where science, reason, and truth prevail, many woke students on campus appeared more interested in relativism and emotional slogans than in objective moral truth. Pro-abortion students made shocking claims: · “An unborn human is like a tumor.” · “I was a parasite before I took my first breath.” · “That white men make up moral absolutes.” In traditional TFP style, Student Action volunteers responded to the rudeness and racism with chivalry, charity, logic, and the simple facts. A pro-life college student voiced her support for the campaign saying: “I believe that when a child is conceived, there …More

2 officers in Jan. 6 riot sue to block DOJ "anti-weaponization" fund 2 officers who clashed with rioters on January 6 sue to block DOJ "anti-weaponization" fund 03:46 Two law enforcement officers who clashed with rioters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, sued Wednesday to block the Trump administration's $1.7 billion "anti-weaponization fund," which was created this week as part of a settlement between President Trump and the federal government. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia by retired U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges, asks a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that the Treasury Department has made to the Justice Department to implement it. Both Dunn and Hodges defended the U.S. Capitol after a mob of Trump supporters attempted to stop the certification of the Electoral College on Jan. 6, 2021. The fund was announced Monday by the Justice …More
