The Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage will tomorrow be barred from entering St. Peter’s Basilica, said Christian Marquant, president of the French organization Paix Liturgique, at today’s event at the Augustinianum in Rome. He added that Pope Leo XIV had described last year’s Mass at St. Peter’s as “instrumentalized,” reports MessaInLatino.it. This Papal remark was made during a December audience in which Bishop Athanasius Schneider raised the widespread desire for the Roman Rite with Leo XIV. “Perhaps he was annoyed by the large turnout or the extensive press coverage,” Marquant speculated. “And indeed, this year permission to celebrate Mass at St. Peter’s has been refused!” Marquant then announced breaking news: “Not only have we been denied permission to celebrate Mass, but we have even been barred from entering the basilica, without so much as a semblance of justification. We shall see what happens tomorrow.” The decision was communicated in recent days in a letter from the Vatican …Ավելին

Trump Is Turning to an Old Tool of Authoritarian Repression nytimes.com/…26/10/23/opinion/ilhan-omar-trump-ci… Oct. 23, 2026 By The Editorial Board The editorial board is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values. It is separate from the newsroom. The revocation of a political opponent’s citizenship has long been a tool of authoritarian repression. The Soviet Union stripped Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the dissident author, of his citizenship in 1974 and deported him to West Germany. Czechoslovakia revoked the citizenship of Milan Kundera, another celebrated author, in 1979. East Germany and Romania, under Communist rule, took similar steps against critics, as did Chile under Augusto Pinochet, Greece under its military dictatorship, Germany under Hitler and Italy under Mussolini. More recently, Nicaragua stripped more than 300 government critics of their citizenship. Now comes a new effort to do so from President …Ավելին

En Italie, lors des manifestations du 18 octobre, une racaille s’en prend à un curé en lui faisant un doigt d'honneur. Le curé ne se laisse pas faire et lui renvoie la pareille. Ces racailles veulent la fin de notre civilisation et du christianisme.

20. Oktober 2026 Mit 13 zu 12 Stimmen hatte der Landtag am 2. September die Volksinitiative „Fristenlösung für Liechtenstein“ angenommen und darauf verzichtet, sie dem Volk vorzulegen. Schwangerschaftsabbrüche wären damit bis zur zwölften Woche erlaubt worden. In Kraft treten wird das Gesetz nun aber nicht: Erbprinz Alois von und zu Liechtenstein wird den Gesetzesbeschluss nicht sanktionieren. Das hat das Fürstenhaus am Dienstag mitgeteilt. Ohne die Sanktion des Landesfürsten kann kein Gesetz in Kraft treten. Der Erbprinz hält an seiner Haltung fest, die er bereits im Juni in den Medien vertreten hatte. Er habe sich in den vergangenen Monaten eingehend mit dem Initiativbegehren und mit Fragen des Schwangerschaftsabbruchs auseinandergesetzt und zahlreiche Gespräche zum Thema geführt, heisst es in der Mitteilung. Nach sorgfältiger Prüfung sei er nach wie vor überzeugt, dass eine Fristenregelung nicht geeignet sei, dem Schutz des ungeborenen Lebens als zentralem Rechtsgut gerecht zu werden …Ավելին

Face à la violence démesurée dont nous avons été témoins ces derniers jours, et face aussi à l'invasion manifeste de notre pays comme de notre continent, activement entretenue par nos dirigeants comme par les médias, il m'est arrivé de tenir des propos qui, justes pris isolément, finissent, mis bout à bout, par omettre notre devoir de catholiques. Aussi, je profite de l'occasion pour le dire ici : pensez à prier pour tous ces casseurs, quelles que soient leur origine ou leur appartenance politique. Ce sont des âmes dangereusement égarées, possédées peut-être pour certaines, mais nous n'en désirons pas moins ardemment leur conversion et leur repentir. En un mot, nous les aimons chrétiennement. Prions aussi, bien sûr, pour les policiers laissés seuls face aux émeutes et pour les commerçants qui ont tout perdu. Prions enfin pour notre malheureux pays. Puisse le Sacré-Cœur de Notre-Seigneur le guérir par ses meurtrissures (Is. LIII, 5) et nous donner la force de combattre les ennemis de la …Ավելին
