In a second short clip (below) released by '60 Minutes' (in addition to the one on 'conservative' bishops), Francis commented on his homosexual propaganda text 'Fiducia Supplicans'.
"What I have allowed is not to bless [a homosexual] union. I cannot do that because it is not a sacrament. I cannot do it. The Lord has made it so. But to bless every person, yes. The blessing is for everyone. For everyone. To bless homosexuals is against the law, against the law of the Church, but to bless every person, why not? The blessing is for everyone. Some people were scandalised by this. But why? For everyone, for everyone".
Francis' dishonesty is even more dislikable than his being unbelieving, rude, ambiguous, divisive, tyrannical, and hypocritical, etc. He knows full well that the text of 'Fiducia Supplicans' is not about blessing a single person, but about 'blessing irregular couples [= unrepentant mortal sinners]'. Couples are defined by their union.

On 17 May, Tucho Fernández published guidelines on alleged supernatural phenomena entitled "Norms for proceeding in the discernment of alleged supernatural phenomena."
The main change: Neither the local bishop nor the Vatican will declare that phenomena are of supernatural origin, but the Vatican can authorise the local bishop to declare that a phenomenon is "not supernatural".
There is no provision in these norms for ecclesiastical superiors to give positive recognition to the divine origin of alleged supernatural phenomena, the regulations state.
The second major change is the centralisation of the process, since Francis is the pope of Roman centralism. The local bishop's decisions must be given approval by the Vatican.
The document refers to cases in the 20th century where the local bishop declared a phenomenon to be supernatural, and the Vatican later issued a decision to the contrary. In other cases, a bishop said one thing and his successor said the opposite about the same phenomenon. …अधिक

Norah O'Donell of CBS News asked Francis during an interview that will be published in full next Sunday: "There are conservative bishops in the United States who oppose your new efforts to revisit teachings and traditions. How do you respond to their criticism?"
Francis: "They use this adjective 'conservative' [belittling smile]. A conservative is someone who clings to something and does not want to see beyond it. It is a suicidal attitude. Because it is one thing to consider tradition, to consider situations from the past. It is quite another to be locked up in a dogmatic box."
No Pope has lived so much in a "dogmatic box" as Francis, who runs after every ideology of the bygone 1960s, and indeed: this conservatism is suicidal for the Church and its disastrous results are visible to everybody.

A total of 49 Vatican employees are threatening to file a complaint over poor working conditions that "do not respect the basic principles of dignity".
The group includes 47 museum guards, a restorer and a bookshop worker. According to Italian media, they intend to take the Governatorato, the Vatican administration headed by Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, a Spanish Legionary of Christ, to court if they do not receive a satisfactory response to their demands.
In a letter to Vérgez Alzaga, they say that the working conditions in the Vatican Museums are detrimental to the dignity and health of the workers.
They complain that they have been unfairly paid for overtime, that they have not received promotions and that they have to pay back part of the salary they received without working because of the closures during the Covid hysteria. Other Vatican workers may be ready to join the complaints.
The workers write that "legislation regulating the world of work in the Vatican is insufficient …अधिक

A 15 May synod report of the bishops of Austria strongly supports "sacramental deaconesses", which cannot exist.
The Austrian bishops claim to have had "good experiences" with women in leadership positions, although everyone knows that envy, pressure, paternalism, careerism, etc. are rampant.
For the bishops these "leadership positions" are still only "a partial answer". They speak of a "women's problem" ("enormous loss of credibility", "massive threat to the mission of the Church") and claim that it would be satisfactorily solved by the [invalid] "sacramental deaconess".
"While the priesthood of women is sporadically mentioned, there is a strong voice, supported by majorities in the dioceses (including the diocesan leadership, Linz deacons), in favour of admitting women to the diaconate". The prelates even claim that the mission of the Church is "made impossible" because women cannot be deacons.
This "ministry, sacramentally conferred by the laying on of hands, must be opened to women …अधिक

Harrison Butker, 28, a talented kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, who attends the Roman Mass, proclaimed some truisms in a speech on 11 May at Benedictine College in Kansas (full video below).
The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team. Butker's common sense provoked a backlash in obscurantist circles in the US, including the oligarchs' propaganda media. Butker said things like:
"I'm able to be the man I am because I've got a wife who leans into her calling. I'm more than blessed with the many talents God has given me. But it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band in junior high school converted to the faith, became my wife and took on one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.
She's the primary educator of our children. She's the one who makes sure I never let football or my business distract me from being a husband and father.
She is the person who knows me best at my core. And it is through our marriage …अधिक

The mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, whose mother was a police informer during the communist regime in Poland, has banned the display of "religious symbols" (= crosses) from the town hall. Since the fall of communism, Warsaw is the first city in Poland to do so.
Gazeta Wyborcza reported on 16 May that the discrimination against the cross is justified by the "fight against discrimination".
Trzaskowski is deputy leader of the 'Civic Platform' party, the main component of Poland's ruling coalition under Donald Tusk. Civil servants in Warsaw will not even be allowed to display religious symbols on their desks. All official events must not include any kind of prayer - a sign that the old communist times have returned.
At the same time, homosexual propaganda is imposed. City employees are required to treat a homosexual concubinage as if it were legal and to address transvestites as if they were real men or real women.

José Andrés Calderón has been fined a total of 3,600 euros for praying with others the rosary in public in Madrid.
He began the peaceful rosary on the steps of the Inmaculado Corazón de María church in November, during a period of national unrest. The site is a short distance from the headquarters of the ruling Socialist Workers' Party.
Up to 500 people had been meeting regularly until the regime banned the regular rosaries on 27 November. After that the number of participants increased. Some people were arrested and fined. A video of a 60-year-old woman being pushed into a police van was widely circulated online.
A lawyer challenged the ban as a violation of the right to assembly. In December, the Madrid Provincial Court rejected the appeal. People continued to pray.
José Andrés Calderón, the organiser of the event, announced on 15 May that he had been fined 1,200 euros for the third time: "Praying the Rosary is expensive in Spain," he commented.
That same evening he was in the streets …अधिक

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 …अधिक
