At the same time, the article notes that Angles, through his attorney, has categorically denied all allegations.

The Dead End to Trump’s ‘Perfect’ War July 25, 2026 nytimes.com/…nion/trump-iran-saudi-arabia-war-nuc… By Nicholas Kristof Opinion Columnist “We won,” President Trump announced on March 11, less than two weeks into his Iran war. “In the first hour, it was over.” On March 24, in the Oval Office, he reiterated, “This war has been won.” On April 6, he asserted, “They are militarily defeated.” On April 11, Trump posted on Truth Social, “The United States has completely destroyed Iran’s Military.” “The war in Iran is going along swimmingly,” Trump said on April 16. “It’s perfect.” The perfection of Trump’s war has confused some of his supporters. “I don’t understand how it’s possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to lash out at Gulf countries and U.S. military bases,” Maria Bartiromo of Fox News said on air recently. “Because the U.S. has obliterated Iran’s military, and the president continues to reiterate that.” Yet Trump’s perfect war seems …More
Peruvian priest Ricardo Yesquén Paiva has died at the age of 59 without ever facing a canonical or civil investigation into allegations that he sexually abused a 10-year-old girl in 2006. In September 2024, the Diocese of Chiclayo said Yesquén suffered from a "serious degenerative illness" that left him incapable of defending himself in canonical proceedings. The diocese never identified the illness. The complainants disputed the explanation, pointing to official diocesan records and photographs showing him at public liturgical events through at least early 2023, contradicting claims that he had long ceased exercising ministry. One image from January 2023 shows then-Bishop Robert Prevost - now Pope Leo XIV - celebrating a birthday alongside Yesquén, nearly three years after the first complaint. The case gained international attention because the first complaint against Yesquén reached Bishop Prevost as early as March 2020, while he led the Diocese of Chiclayo. Two Accused Priests, One …More
Exodus 23:32: "You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods." In 1918, the great Cardinal Mercier of Belgium stated that the First World War was a punishment for the crime of men placing the one true Catholic religion on the same level with false creeds. Cardinal Mercier said, “In the name of the Gospel, and in the light of the Encyclicals of the last four Popes, Gregory XVI, Pius IX, Leo XIII, and Pius X, I do not hesitate to affirm that this indifference to religions which puts on the same level the religion of divine origin and the religions invented by men in order to include them in the same scepticism is the blasphemy which calls down chastisement on society far more than the sins of individuals and families.” Apostasy from the Faith is defined as “the complete and voluntary abandonment of the Christian religion, whether the apostate embraces another religion such as Paganism, Judaism, Mohammedanism, etc., or merely makes profession of Naturalism, Rationalism, etc.” (…More

In the month of anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Roman-Catholic churches of Volhynia (July 1943), NCR likens the leader of "Banderam favens" Ukrainian Church Shevchuk to Cardinal Sapieha: "The heroic witness of Cardinal Adam Sapieha does not belong only to the past; it has an echo today in one of the bravest bishops of the 21st century, Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. Indeed, given the changing political geography of Sapieha’s life, it could be argued that Shevchuk is one of his heirs." (cf.: 75 Years After His Death, Cardinal Sapieha’s …) Sapieha as the Archbishop of Cracow loudly denounced abominable crimes of Ukrainian banderism - including many murders of Catholic priests, also in churches and parish buildings, and sometimes during the Holy Mass. On March 27, 1944 after dramatic reports from the Archdiocese of Lwow and letters from Roman-Catholic Archbishop Boleslaus Twardowski Sapieha was compelled to write to Hans Frank: "Your …More
