Cardinal Sarah today strongly condemned French push for euthanasia: “Do not desecrate France with your barbaric and inhuman laws that advocate death when God wants life. Do not desecrate France because it is a holy land, a land reserved for God.” fr.aleteia.org/2025/07/26/loi…
Pope Leo has assigned Cardinal Sarah as his papal envoy for the celebrations in the Diocese of Vannes to mark the 400th anniversary of the apparition of St Anne, this July 25 & 26 Details via @HolySeePress today
I actually reconquista’d my bookshelf.
In essence, "decolonizing your bookshelf" is about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long, says @itsjuanlove. trib.al/VKxyuRp
Cardinal Sarah delivered a STIRRING speech today in France: 'Too often in the West, religion is presented as an activity in the service of human well-being. Religion is equated with humanitarian efforts, acts of charity, the welcoming of migrants and the homeless, the promotion…
I’d say Mike Lewis is just outright lying here, but the guy does seem to think that disagreeing with the pope over a snack preference would constitute dissent from the magisterium, so I assume it’s just his usual gross ignorance. Either way, I hope Pope Leo censures his ass.
If this is real, this would be a thing of extra extraordinary value. When society doesn’t take care of those who are unable to take care of themselves, the fallout is very real. We see it in our streets. People with psychological struggles did not choose that life. They need…
The White House just released a really good executive order on cleaning up America's streets, re-institutionalizing insane people, and ending open air drug abuse and the problems it creates. Here's a quick overview🧵
Perfect snapshot of modern “news”: a former White House flack masquerading as an anchor, interviewing an ex-CIA chief-turned-paid-MSNBC analyst, masquerading as a guest — with no journalists in the picture.
On Wednesday John Brennan went on with Jen Psaki to lash out at Tulsi Gabbard, accusing her of lying. Two Obama admin liars lying about lying, running cover for a hoax. Legacy media, defined.
What a great first day at the Josef Pieper Prize award ceremony in Münster for @BishopBarron . Barron is a worthy winner because he has done more than almost anyone else to make the rich Catholic intellectual heritage and tradition of Catholic thought fruitful for a whole new…
100% this. I would like to see as much Epstein stuff released as possible, but let's not pretend that the media and Dems (I know they're the same) banging on about this is at all sincere. They got interested very late and only because Trump is vulnerable.
I’m sorry, am I really supposed to take this Epstein outcry from Democrats seriously? They were just in office for four years! I’d like to see what’s on them, too, but spare me the hysterics
This takes the cake… A mass firing of men faithful to the Church’s magisterium - with a long history of defending it- is hardly “good news”. It is indeed grave news as it means the end of a once great seminary and the beginning of a self defeating war on fidelity. Pity…
Good news out of Detroit, whose archbishop has decided to give his seminary a new direction, retiring three theologians / canonists who notoriously dissented from the papal magisterium in intemperate ways. ncronline.org/news/detroit-a…
Mike Lewis, you’ll recall, is the turd of a human being who joked about Mel Gibson’s house burning down as L.A. was on fire earlier this year. Naturally he'd be quick to gloat over the suffering of yet another of his enemies (while smearing him to boot. Ed Peters is no dissenter)
You'll notice that the note says nothing about an adult-led attack on the pirate ship...
Going to a rented lake house next week and just received an email from the owner saying: “Our neighbor to the south with the pirate ship is very possessive—do not let your children approach the pirate ship.”
What could be better than this thorough new review of "Saint Thomas and the Forbidden Birds"? “This antique discipline, tenderly severe:” — Dappled Things dappledthings.org/reviews/this-a…
My Sacred Heart Major Seminary teaching contract was terminated by Abp. Weisenburger this week. I have retained counsel. Except to offer my prayers for those affected by this news and to ask for theirs in return, I have no further comment at this time. Prof. Edward Peters

Bishop Erik Varden (Norwegian, b. 1974, studied and taught in England for many years) is destined for great things. Younger priests long to see him promoted because he’s formidably clever and holy, understands their aspirations and speaks their jargon-free language. NB, Pope Leo!
This, this, THIS!!!!! Thank you, Bishop Erik Varden!!! coramfratribus.com/life-illumined…

Yes, this account is legit. I took a too-long Twitter hiatus and my old account is unrecoverable, so I'm starting from scratch. Please follow, like, share, etc. etc.
