A whole series of faded dreams has come to naught—who still believes today in a “made in the USA” shield? Virtually all American military bases in the Persian Gulf, which were intended to act as a deterrent by their mere presence, now instill fear in the soldiers fleeing from them. In Iraq, the U.S. Embassy has ordered all its citizens to leave this country, which has been occupied for 23 years, and warned them not to approach the military bases, the embassy building (the largest U.S. embassy in the world), or the consulate under any circumstances. The U.S. Embassy in the fortified “Green Zone” in Baghdad following the drone attack on March 14, 2026. According to estimates, the U.S. provided Iraq with between $12 billion and $40 billion after 2003. Of course, this was primarily to exploit Iraq’s oil …
Each Holy Week since 2010 Fr Gordon MacRae has composed a special post based on the Scriptural events of the Way of the Cross. They now comprise a Holy Week retreat.
Israeli police prevented two of the most senior Catholic leaders in the Holy Land - Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem, and Father Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land - from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. Lpj.org announced that they were stopped while traveling to the church, where they were scheduled to celebrate the Eucharist on Palm Sunday. They were required to turn back, despite not participating in any public gathering. As a result, the church leaders were unable to preside over the Palm Sunday liturgy. This is unprecedented in modern times. The Latin Patriarchate added they had complied with all restrictions imposed since the outbreak of the ongoing conflict, including canceling public gatherings and arranging for services to be broadcast to the faithful worldwide. They characterized the decision to block access as “unreasonable” and “disproportionate”. #newsTjnhyvbccs
Mar 29 Bishop Joseph Strickland defends Carrie Prejean Boller We all know at this point that Carrie Prejean Boller was kicked out of the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission. And for what? For expressing Catholic thinking out loud. Bishop Joseph Strickland has come to her rescue in an X post. He reminds us that any “opposition to political Zionism is inherently antisemitic” isn't true nor anti-Catholic. She questioned the meaning of antisemitism and if it included criticism of political Zionism and what has happened in Gaza. Isn't the Commission about religious liberty? We wonder if Bishop Barron and former Archbishop Timothy Dolan are paying attention. The two are on the Commission but have chosen to remain silent when Boller was abruptly ousted for her remarks. Here's Bishop Strickland's instructive statement regarding Mrs. Mar 28 Canada has become a post-nation state based on lies Recall when PM Justin Trudeau stated that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values? Yes …
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, has defended his decisions to restrict the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to only one location and to prohibit the use any tools for kneeling at Communion. In an interview with AmericaMagazine.org on 26 March, he began with a thinly veiled dismissal of Catholics attached to the Roman rite: "I don't want to say that they're some sort of lunatic fringe. They're not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there's goodness and holiness in that." Leo XIV Would Not Change what Francis Has Done Monsignor Martin referred to his responsibility as a bishop to maintain fidelity to the Church’s "norms". He framed his cruel decisions, especially those relating to the Traditional Latin Mass, as an act of obedience: "All I did was implement Traditionis Custodes in the Diocese of Charlotte." The bishop rejected the idea of extending the existing Masses indefinitely without a clear pastoral plan to end them: "If we need …More

Noelia Castillo Ramos, 25, was killed on March 26 at the Catholic-owned Residència Sant Camil hospital in Sant Pere de Ribes. She was taken into state custody at age 13, separated from her parents, and became the victim of a gang rape by immigrants. In 2022, she jumped from a fifth-floor window. She survived, but was left paraplegic. In 2024, she requested assisted suicide. Her father opposed the decision in court, but ultimately lost. Following her death, he released videos showing that she had begun to stand up again and rediscover hope (video below). The lawyer has alleged that the hospital expedited her death because her organs had already been allocated to other patients. The killing procedure – ultimately done by organ harvesting - was carried out in her hospital room at Sant Camil. Sant Camil Hospital was founded by the Camillian religious order. It is currently publicly managed within Catalonia’s healthcare system. However, it remains under religious ownership and continues to …More
"The goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war." Julian Assange: The goal of war in the Middle East is "to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries... and back into the hands of a transnational security elite."
SUED by Epstein Survivors in HISTORIC CASE In breaking news, a historic first-ever class action lawsuit brought by the Epstein Survivors has been filed against the Administration (for disclosing the personal identifying information of survivors) and Google (for profiting from it on its search engine). Popok dissects the new suit and demonstrates that the filing also means that the Government, busy settling with Jan6 insurrectionists and convicted perjurers, refused to compensate victims for the outing of their identities in the Epstein Files Release, requiring it to be sued in the case.

The national hymn changed, from a land devoted to our Lady to one in which catholic hospitals allow euthanasia to happen... I thought Canada was bad, but Spain is trying to take 2nd place, as the Vatican is solidly number one... Anyways, Spain while embracing the "upgraded" version of communism: socialism, in which they have some form of capitalism, we can’t deny they have embrace darkness. A "catholic" hospital there allowed a paraplegic young woman to be murdered, let me repeat this again... a "catholic" hospital let euthanasia to thrive in their halls. While Leo goes in his pachamama "feel good tour" in Monaco, catholicism is no longer solid within as priests no longer have a spine. It is truly sad seeing the rebellion everywhere and the top instead of fighting, they’re embracing, promoting and even preaching it... But who cares right? Souls are no longer important, neither teaching the truth, like pope Benedict XVI prophesied: the Church will become small. Sad seeing the destruction …More
Fr. Romano Tommasi, SLD 21 March, 2026. Theological Persuasion, Imperial Governance, and Emergency Ecclesiology: Structural Reassessment of the SSPX in Light of Roman Juridical Practice and Historical Parallels Introduction: The Question Misstated The question of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) is almost universally framed in Catholic discourse as a question of obedience or disobedience, and more sharply as a question of schism. This framing, however, presupposes what must be demonstrated—namely, that the existence of parallel ecclesial structures, sustained over time and involving episcopal ordinations without papal mandate, necessarily constitutes schism in the strict canonical and theological sense. This article proposes a different approach. Rather than adjudicating the rightness or wrongness of the SSPX position, it asks whether the category schism is an adequate diagnostic descriptor at all. It argues that the persistence of the SSPX is better explained by a structural failure …More

The British journalist Melanie Phillips (who has written for The Guardian and The Times, among others) explains clearly how Western societies came to accept lies as truth. Following the experience of totalitarian structures in the 20th century, society rejected any external authority on principle. As a result, the hierarchy among opinions, values, worldviews and cultures also disappeared. Nothing could be better or worse than anything else. No lifestyle, no family background, no national culture, no religion. Anyone who failed to understand this was a racist. As a result, a liberal society could no longer claim to be better than an unfree society. The only thing that mattered was what the individual person felt. Their feelings were more important than any facts, because they used them to create their own reality. With that, the idea of an objective truth was done away with.
