From Pope Francis, the idea of synodality remains - that is, the notion that the Church is a process of listening, consultation and struggle, Austrian Jesuit Andreas Batlogg told Kirche-und-Leben.de on 17 April. He has written several books about Francis, including an early biography. Regarding the 2019 Amazon Synod, Father Batlogg said that Francis had come close to abolishing celibacy: "Then there was massive backlash. And he slowed down." Something similar happened with the Synod on Synodality, which concluded without a final document. The internal division within the Church under Francis has become "very deep": "There was open resistance, not just behind the scenes." With Leo XIV, however, there has been "more of a shift in tone than a break in substance", according to Fr Batlogg. Leo XIV presents himself as calmer and more controlled, with a greater focus on clarity and a more traditional demeanour: "However, these are initially matters of style." Und: "In terms of content, I see …കൂടുതൽ
As part of Milan Art Week, an exhibition on homosexuality titled “Ritratto di famiglie” opened on April 14 at a public library in Milan. It purports to present “family stories” through photos and personal messages, but actually features homosexuals. The event includes workshops for children aged 5 to 10. The organization Pro Vita & Famiglia described the initiative as “ideological propaganda.”

During his visit to Cameroon on 16 April, Pope Leo XIV met with twelve representatives of local Islamic communities at the Apostolic Nunciature in Yaoundé. Several of the Muslim leaders had previously met the Pope in Rome in December 2025, suggesting an ongoing relationship.
On April 16, at the Apostolic Nunciature, Pope Leo XIV met with twelve leaders of local Islamic groups of Cameroon who are working with the Church on social justice projects.
Having already appointed several syncretic bishops, and just days after describing a mosque as a “divine, sacred space,” Leo XIV condemned syncretism in words. During the Eucharist in Bamenda, Cameroon, on 16 April, he cautioned against “falling into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature.”
Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon: “Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”
Bishop Antonio Santarsiero of Huacho, Peru, convened all his clergy last Tuesday in a parish hall and publicly identified his two alleged victims, reports InfoVaticana.com. Furthermore, he asked the priests to sign a document supporting his innocence, which carries no probative value. The bishop stepped aside last Friday as Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference while the case is investigated. The Church’s legal framework runs counter to the bishop’s actions. The motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi requires the protection and confidentiality of reports and forbids interference in investigations. The two alleged victims are a priest who lived with Santarsiero and a former seminarian. Both accuse him of homosexual misconduct and psychological manipulation.

"Chapter 20 Aristides a most eloquent Athenian philosopher, and a disciple of Christ while yet retaining his philosopher's garb, presented a work to Hadrian at the same time that Quadratus presented his. The work contained a systematic statement of our doctrine, that is, an Apology for the Christians, which is still extant and is regarded by philologians as a monument to his genius."
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; Stridon, Roman Empire/Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; aged 75-78, Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 17 Polycarp disciple of the apostle John and by him ordained bishop of Smyrna was chief of all Asia, where he saw and had as teachers some of the apostles and of those who had seen the Lord. He, on account of certain questions concerning the day of the Passover, went to Rome in the time of the emperor Antoninus Pius while Anicetus ruled the church in that city. There he led back to the faith many of the believers who had been deceived through the persuasion of Marcion and Valentinus, and when Marcion met him by chance and said Do you know us he replied, I know the firstborn of the devil.

1. Can God on Quasi modo Sunday ( geniti infantes is a Latin phrase meaning "as newborn infants" or "as newborn babes") provide the means for what essentially is a second baptism? Yes or No? Well yes God can do this. Go to confession and Holy Communion on this one Sunday and I God will forgive all punishment owing for sin. As a new born! God wants you to make a big deal of His Mercy this one Sunday of the year. 2. The Church is so corrupt that God chooses to be directly more Merciful to Catholics than ever before. Where evil abounds, grace abounds more! God makes up for where His Church representatives lack. 3. God says you do this and I will do that! How simple go to confession and Holy Communion on this one day! It’s like go and bath 7 times in the Jordan! Would you?
