The SSPX’s Split Personality

History is repeating itself. On July 1, 2026, the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) intends to consecrate new bishops in Écône, Switzerland, in defiance of Pope Leo XIV. This is the same place where SSPX founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre consecrated four bishops on June 30, 1988, in defiance of Pope St. John...

JD Vance versus the Little Gray Men

From the man who saw fit to correct the Pope on his theology, more pearls of wisdom: Vice President JD Vance has described himself as “obsessed” with UFO files. In March, he said he has been trying to find time to investigate Area 51 since he took office. “I’ve still got three more...

What’s the Catholic Response to This Viral Dilemma?

A viral thought experiment has been making the rounds online: press one button and guarantee your own survival, or press another and take a risk to save everyone. Is the most “rational” choice really the right one? Or is there something deeper guiding our instincts? The more you think about this question, the...

Which Pope said this?

The Church, like a mother, accompanies those who are walking. Where the world sees threats, she sees children; where walls are built, she builds bridges. She knows that her proclamation of the Gospel is credible only when it is translated into gestures of closeness and welcome. And she knows that in every rejected...

Stop Misquoting This Vatican Document on Gay People

For nearly four decades, English-speaking Catholics have quoted the Vatican on a sentence it never actually wrote. I speak here of Section 16 of the 1986 Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (hereafter, Pastoral Letter).

The Vision Behind Pope Leo XIV’s Africa Trip

Pope Leo XIV’s recent trip to Africa wasn’t just a series of visits—it was a window into the deeper vision shaping his pontificate.

In Search of Robert Prevost

Over the past few weeks, Pope Leo XIV’s commitment to Gospel truth has powerfully evangelized parts of society that are generally unaware of papal activities. Non-Catholics (even agnostics) have been saying, “He’s my pope,” and “I never really paid attention to the Pope before but he is really good.” While their statements reflect...

Which Pope said this?

Dear brothers and sisters, today is World Day of Migrants and Refugees, whose theme [this year] is: “Free to choose whether to migrate or to stay”, to recall that to migrate should be a free choice, and never the only one possible. Indeed, the right to migrate has now become an obligation for...

Bishop Barron Trusts the Plan

Bishop Robert Barron is at it again. Three months after his ill-judged intervention on the Trump administration’s so-called immigration enforcement policies, Barron has come to the defense of the same administration’s war against Iran, a war that Pope Leo XIV has strongly implied Catholics are to view as unjust and immoral. As people...
