Synod.va published on May 5 the final report of Study Group number 7 on the selection of bishops: “In the selection of a bishop, it is necessary to consider, among other qualities, his ‘synodal competencies’.” (page 3) At least, the document also mentions Catholic criteria: “Among the qualities sought in a bishop are moral integrity, doctrinal orthodoxy, pastoral sensitivity, leadership ability, and the capacity to administer the Church’s goods.” (page 3) The main idea of the report is expanding lay influence in bishop selection: “The cathedral chapter… finance council… lay council… youth and the poor should also be convened.” (page 4) The report proposes that, when a diocese is vacant, a committee be established to work with the Apostolic Nuncio, consisting of priests, consecrated religious, and laypersons. (page 5) Informants should include women, youth, academics, ecclesial movement members, the poor, marginalized persons, and representatives of Indigenous or minority communities. …Siwaju sii
Acts 15:7-21 “We ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God.” When 99% of people walk in front of churches, it would be good to listen to them, then reveal to them the beauty of God within them. John 15:9-11 “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” Jesus is clear. The perfect, childlike joy is already within us. Let us live in the present, in the Love of God. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …Siwaju sii
On 29 April, the Canadian homosexual activist Jake Tucker, 39, was found guilty of multiple sex-trafficking and assault-related charges following a trial in Barrie, Ontario. Tucker is in a homosexual "marriage" and produced/bought a baby girl via surrogacy. In the past, he has organised homosexual events, drag nights, flag raising, and other local activist initiatives. According to prosecutors, Tucker recruited, controlled and exploited two women for several years, arranging their prostitution and taking a share of the profits. He also used coercion, violence and drugs to maintain control. The case began in 2022, when a woman reported to the police that Tucker had trafficked her for years. Investigators later identified a second alleged victim who made similar claims. After the verdict, Tucker denied the allegations and said he plans to appeal, arguing that the women were lying and that the police investigation was flawed. He is expected to return to court for sentencing and could face …Siwaju sii
This was posted with a different link yesterday, but now it seems to have disappeared - as so much does. It's wonderful, so I wanted to post again with a simple-to-access YouTube link.
Rev Gerardo Saco resigned from his appointment as Bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran in the Philippines. Pope Leo XIV appointed Rev. Saco on 25 March 2026, with the episcopal ordination scheduled for 26 May. On 5 May, Cebu Archbishop Alberto Uy announced that Leo XIV had accepted Rev Saco’s resignation. Rev Saco suddenly discovered a “change of heart” and “human limitations and inadequacies”. However, it is more likely that there is an undisclosed issue behind this decision. Choosing Bishops with Hidden Scandals Declining after papal appointment and before ordination used to be very rare in the Church. It has increased in the past decade as a side effect of deliberately appointing compromised or unsuitable candidates. In Argentina alone, Francis appointed three priests as bishops who then resigned from the episcopal consecration weeks later. Bishop Pascalis Syukur, who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a woman and had fathered two children, accepted Pope Francis’s …Siwaju sii
@Jeffrey Ade"Dear Brother Jeffrey, I hope you’ve been doing well. As I mentioned before, I’ve been staying away from this place because I’m frankly disillusioned. There are just too many fools here who claim to be 'Traditional Catholics' yet offer blind support to Trump, J.D. Vance, and the current GOP. Still, I sincerely wish for your peace and well-being. Thank you so much for sharing such excellent material. It’s incredibly refreshing to see a clear critique—not just of the hypocrisy of 'Trad Inc.', but also of those so-called Traditional Catholics who blindly follow these politicians. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can call people like Trump, J.D. Vance, or Marco Rubio 'devout believers' or 'protectors of the Christian community.' As you may have heard, a French nun was recently assaulted in Jerusalem. Beyond that, while radical Zionists brutally oppress Christian communities in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Armenia, has Trump, Vance, or Rubio ever raised a …Siwaju sii
Trump has just solemnly defined for MAGA Catholics that an alleged nuclear weapon for Iran is not Catholic and endangering Catholics (but real nuclear weapons for the Zionist state are OK and very Catholic): x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2051425272516260147
By Alison Bevege https://lettersfromaustralia.substack.com/p/australia-sues-covid-vax-class-action Thousands of covid vaccine-injured Australians have been given new strength today after the Federal Court of Australia discussed dates for their class action to proceed. It has been a long road for the bereaved. They were pushed aside by the government at every turn, and they struggled with repeated submissions in their attempts to get justice through the courts since April 2023. In April last year, Justice Anna Katzmann gave their crowd-funded class action one last chance to overhaul its pleadings with a new legal team. Dominic Villa SC Queensland GP Dr Melissa McCann re-invigorated the case with Dominic Villa SC who represented the injured at their case management hearing in Federal Court April 24 before Justice Nicholas Owens. The New Chambers barrister is the leading Sydney silk who helped Queensland police and ambulance staff challenge the covid vaccine mandates in 2022, as reported …

@Everyday for Life Canada The Israeli State is given a pass for "nukes" since it is the Zionist/Fascist pivot of the "Errors of Russia." Everyone of the Americans who voted for Trump and MAGA voted for this warmongering! Many American Catholics too! They are now getting what they voted for! Since the lust for violence goes far beyond the Zionist/Fascist/Bolshevik pivot it will not stop until after Russia is consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Her Triumph occurs. Our Lady said, "many nations will be annihilated." We were warned! I voted for Our Lady of Fatima, not for this unholy alliance. And cui bono? Obviously the Russia/Sino/Islam faction of the NWO. East vs West baby!

In its April 30 announcement, the diocese announced that next on Thursday, May 7, it will send representatives to speak at the interfaith “Christians and Muslims in Dialogue at the Great Mosque” meeting organized by both the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy and the Diocese of Rome. In its announcement, the diocese stressed that this “interfaith encounter” will follow the examples of Pope Leo – the bishop of Rome – his predecessor Pope Francis, as well as the Second Vatican Council’s Nostra Aetate, the declaration on the relation of the Church to non-Christian religions. The diocesan representatives who will be speaking at the meeting include Monsignor Marco Valenti, auxiliary bishop of the Northern Sector; Monsignor Marco Gnavi, head of the Office for Ecumenism …
NSA INTERCEPTED UKRAINE CONSPIRING WITH USAID TO LAUNDER $200 MILLION INTO BIDEN’S 2024 CAMPAIGN & DNC! In late 2022, Zelensky’s government and USAID officials plotted to funnel your taxpayer dollars through a series of transactions back into Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Tulsi Gabbard’s team has declassified the intercepts. An investigation is now underway, with possible criminal referrals to the FBI coming soon. This is massive election interference and money laundering using foreign aid.
This war did not end under Trump. In fact increased. With staged events like in Alaska, the "confessional" image of Zelenski meeting with Trump at the Vatican, and staged assassinations, New wars added. Genocides increased. Now a Data Center under the White House Ballroom coming. Pity the once Republic.
