The Swiss bishops submitted a report to the Vatican on 13 May on the local synod on synodality. Excerpts:
- "Synodal decisions that marginalize or exclude people and their experiences, especially women, queer people and the socially disadvantaged, are contrary to the mission of the Church."
- "Recognition of the equal baptismal dignity of men, women and queer people must be lived and witnessed in the building of a synodal church."
- "The question of [...] the inclusion of women in all [!] ministries is an important issue".
- "The exclusion of women from the priesthood is no longer understood in many places".
- "The opening of the diaconate to women is to be welcomed when it expresses a development towards the recognition of the equal baptismal dignity of men and women in the Church".
- "A special form of diaconate 'for women' would be seen in the Swiss context as an expression of the relegation of women, as would the gradation of the diaconate in relation to the ordained ministry".

Archbishop Julian Porteous of Hobart, Australia, has denounced a campaign to overturn Christian moral principles.
As a result, the enemies of common sense have responded with intense hatred. In a May 2 pastoral letter ('We are salt to the earth'), Mgr Porteous made statements about human dignity and religious and parental freedom.
For example, he said: "Believing in God as Creator, we see our identity as male and female as a gift. We therefore see efforts to separate gender from biological sex as a denial of the reality of who we are".
And: "God created male and female as sexually complementary. This means that, sexually, we were literally made for the opposite sex".
Mgr. Porteous criticises the radicalised transvestite lobby, child abortion, euthanasia suicide, homosexual pseudo-marriage and the "woke" propaganda that fights against common sense ("traditional values and beliefs").
Homosexual propaganda groups claimed that Mgr Porteous had "stigmatised" them, as if Porteous was responsible …Дэлгэрэнгүй

Mexico's federal appeals court in April rejected an attempt by a transvestite propagandist to force the Church to alter baptismal records in favour of a person's self-declaration.
In 2021, a man suffering from gender ideas of being a 'woman' argued that Mexican privacy law required the Diocese of Querétaro to comply with the request, regardless of biological reality and historical facticity.
As a result, Mexico's National Data Protection Institute ruled that the diocese had to amend the baptismal records.
The diocese challenged the decision and won in a district court. An appeals court now upheld the decision on the grounds that the Church has a constitutionally protected right to manage its internal affairs without government interference.
The decision sets an important precedent for defending the religious freedom and autonomy of churches and religious organisations in Mexico against the fascist homosex propaganda.

Veer Dusauchoit, 62, is suing the Church in Belgium for "discrimination" because she cannot become a deacon.
Dusauchoit has worked for 30 years in the parish of Herent, near Leuven, in Flemish Brabant, where she presides over funerals and liturgies of the word. The parish has no priest.
She tried to enrol in a four-year course to become a deacon, but was turned down, and sees this rejection as "gender discrimination".
"I am indeed angry, but I am also determined," she told Belgian state broadcaster Rtbf.be (14 May) which is known for its anti-Church stances.
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels defended the decision: "At the moment (sic) only men can be ordained deacons. So there's no point in doing the formation, because the finality of becoming one is impossible".
The spokesman added: "The Belgian bishops are in favour of [invalid] women deacons."
The court in Mechelen has one month to make a decision.
The current Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, Luc Terlinden, 55, is …Дэлгэрэнгүй

The Diocese of Buffalo, New York, has adopted rules requiring priests and diocesan employees to consult with diocesan officials before speaking to so-called reporters.
The new policy states that diocesan communications officials will "either address the request directly or work with the employee to provide a response to the inquiry".
Joe Martone, the diocese's director of communications, points out: "What we're really trying to do is not stifle the communication of the diocese, we're trying to coordinate it."
This is understandable, as many priests are naïve and don't realise that media activists are not interested in the truth. Instead, they only talk to people to promote their own agenda and narrative.

Rev. Thomas McHale, 53, priest of Our Blessed Lady Immaculate Parish in Blackhill, County Durham, England, said in his Good Friday sermon that Christ had an erection when he died on the cross.
Indulging in his sick fantasies, the 53-year-old American citizen said that blood would have rushed to Christ's lower body as a result of the execution by crucifixion.
A parishioner explained to TheTimes.co.uk (11 May): "He told people that Jesus died with an erection. The audience was shocked. There were young families there".
Complaints about the "vulgar" sermon led to an "ongoing" investigation, the spokesman for the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle said. Good Friday was 29 March. The matter could be 'investigated' in 10 minutes. 'Ongoing investigation' therefore means that there is no will to come to a conclusion.

The Poor Clares of Belorado, Archdiocese of Burgos, Spain, have announced that they are leaving the jurisdiction of the archdiocese to join a certain Bishop Pablo de Rojas Sanchez-Franco. The 15 nuns of Belorado are known for selling sweets.
De Rojas was educated in an Opus Dei school and later became close to the Priestly Society of Pius X. In 2005 he founded his own "Pía Unión de San Pablo Apóstol" in Bilbao. This group has about 100 members and some "clergy" and is somehow linked to Palmar de Troya, Seville, a group that has its own "pope" who comes from Switzerland and has invented its own Novus Ordo.
De Rojas's headquarters in Bilbao has ornaments everywhere, bookcases, ornate furniture, crockery and maids in bonnets. In 2017, he participated in a 1900s fashion show in Bilbao organised by Fernando Botanz who presents himself as a homosexual and who, according to InfoVaticana.com, has a close relationship with De Rojas.
De Rojas was "ordained" a "bishop" by the sedevacantist Daniel …Дэлгэрэнгүй

The Diocese of Plasencia, Spain, issued an unsigned statement on 13 May regarding the recent homosexual [pseudo] blessing in the parish church of Miajadas.
The diocese is presently being ruined by Bishop Ernesto Brotóns, who is fully responsible for the statement. His text promises that "the appropriate canonical measures have been taken", which means nothing.
In obvious contradiction to reality, Brotóns' statement denies that there was "any intention" to simulate a sacrament. The whole show was modelled on a wedding, including two disguised homosexuals and a priest. Everyone could see that it was the simulation of a sacrament.
The statement criticises only that "the forms clearly violated the provisions" of the Vatican's homosexual propaganda text 'Fiducia supplicans'. The bishop insists that he "believes" in the "value" of the blasphemous blessing of sin.
Mgr Brotóns ends with crocodile tears: "We deeply regret the scandal and confusion that the misapplication of the Declaration has …Дэлгэрэнгүй

Many traditional sedevacantist Catholics loudly condemn the SSPX (Society of St. Pius X, founded by Mgr Marcel Lefebvre) for “Pope sifting.” That is, the SSPX, while publicly proclaiming Francis I to be the Pope, “sifts” everything he teaches and then proceeds to declare it either orthodox or unorthodox. This of course makes the SSPX a doctrinal authority above the Pope, which is a heretical notion.
While justifiably condemning such a heretical notion, many sedevacantists are guilty of the same practice when it comes to the liturgical reforms instituted by Pope Pius XII. They “sift” these laws and determine which ones they will accept and which ones they will reject. This is nothing more than a scaled-down version of the practice of the SSPX and condemnable as well.

Between the years 1951 and 1958 Pope Pius XII enacted a number of liturgical reforms. The Commission he set up to advise him on these matters had two …Дэлгэрэнгүй

Retired Auxiliary Bishop Raymond Chappetto, 78, of Brooklyn, has been cleared of charges that he "mishandled" an abuse case.
He was vicar general of the Brooklyn diocese from 2013 to 2022. In 2021, he was accused of failing to adequately disclose to a parish that the Rev. Uririoghene Okrokoto was prohibited from contact with minors. As a result, Chappetto was accused of potentially endangering minors.
Reverend Okrokoto had a history of "boundary violations" with teenage girls. After treatment at a mental health facility, he was assigned to a Brooklyn parish in June 2021. Within weeks, Okrokoto was seen at the parish in the company of a teenage girl. He was removed from ministry again in October 2021 and remains suspended.
The Diocese of Brooklyn told PillarCatholic.com (13 May) that the Vatican's Dicastery for Bishops had concluded after an investigation that the allegations against Chappetto were "manifestly unfounded and the case has been closed".
The investigation was conducted by …Дэлгэрэнгүй

Rev. Joseph Williams, C.M., pastor of St Vincent de Paul Parish in Chicago, issued a 'facade' apology on 8 May for his [pseudo] blessing of two lesbian women on 21 April.
It appears that Williams was forced to issue the apology. He regrets only "the language of the blessing", the use of the church and liturgical vestments, but insists he "meant it well".
"The form that the blessing took, as shown in the video, was due to my attempt to give them a meaningful (!) moment of God's grace (!)".
It was only when the video of the pseudo wedding went viral that Williams realised he had "made a very poor choice of words".
"I am deeply sorry for any confusion and/or anger this has caused, especially to the people of God."
He didn't apologise for the blasphemy he committed, he won't be punished, and no reparations will be made.
