The apostolic visitation of "conservative" Heiligenkreuz Abbey in Austria has concluded. Following several months of investigation and interviews with 90 monks, the Vatican has issued a number of recommendations. These include calls to 'clarify identity', 'reflect on its theological and spiritual orientation', and 'improve communication', both internally and externally.
Heiligenkreuz. For Rome, young monks are the problem, not heretical nuns without the veil
Should be what has the Church come to! The world follows the Church’s lead! “Sister Linda Pocher is left free to go around promoting heresies even on the ordination of women; the monks of Heiligenkreuz, by contrast, are told that they must review their theological and philosophical formation. What can one say - what is the world coming to?”
Let’s walk through the amazing timeline. In May, 2025, Trump barnstormed the Middle East on a whirlwind 4-day tour, making economic deals, investment pledges, and bilateral agreements. In January, 2026, President Trump launched his Board of Peace with a $1 billion buy-in for extended membership. Notice who joined: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Morocco and others; making 25+ countries total. Now notice who did not join: Iran. (“Allies” like UK, France, and Canada all dragged their feet.) The US pledged $10 billion to run it, with $1.25 billion already transferred from the State Department. The money is managed by private US interests (rumored to be managed by Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners). In other words, it’s not managed by the UN, the IMF, or the World Bank. Or by the Middle Eastern countries. Here’s what all this means: long before Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, he stitched up all of Iran’s neighbors, entangling …Hafa
It’s always interesting to see how silent certain people get when good news breaks, yet they’re lightning-quick to point out any bad news. Their TDS has consumed them to the point of insanity. They’d rather see the world burn than admit Trump did something good.
President Trump just speed-ran a major war. As far as I can tell, the time from launch to first cease-fire is a modern record. After a dramatic weekend buildup wherein the President set a dramatic 8pmdeadline, threatened to “wipe out” Iran’s civilization standing next to a rabbit mascot, dropped an F-bomb, and after B-52s were launched and on their way, Iran came to the table at the last minute. The Wall Street Journal reported, “Iran War News Live Updates: Trump Agrees to Two-Week Cease-Fire With Iran if Hormuz Re-Opened.”

The Times report reads: Tucker Carlson, the commentator who had emerged as another prominent skeptic of intervention on the right, had come to the Oval Office several times over the previous year to warn Mr. Trump that a war with Iran would destroy his presidency. A couple weeks before the war began, Mr. Trump, who had known Mr. Carlson for years, tried to reassure him over the phone. “I know you’re worried about it, but it’s going to be OK,” the president said. Mr. Carlson asked how he knew. “Because it always is,” Mr. Trump replied. Check out the full report here.

Automatic registration for US military draft-eligible men to begin in December Automatic registration into the U.S. military draft pool for eligible men is slated to begin in December, following efforts from lawmakers and the selective service agency to streamline the previous self-registration process. The Selective Service System, the federal agency that maintains a database of registered U.S. males who are considered draft-eligible in the event of a national emergency, submitted a proposed rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30, according to the office’s dashboard. Automatic registration into Selective Service was mandated in December 2025, when President Donald Trump signed into law the fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, the agency’s website says. “This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” the website reads.

One of the most shocking forced beatifications of the Francis pontificate was that of Bishop Angelelli, a terrorist-supporting Bishop from Argentina, who died in an automobile accident, but was deemed a martyr. He was so liberal, so cruel against orthodox Catholics, and so against any orthodox causes in his lifetime, that serious Catholics in Argentina mocked him by calling him "Satanelli" during his own lifetime. Another extreme liberal bishop, Jorge Novak, of Quilmes, was also placed by Francis on a fast track to beatification and canonization. Thankfully, with the new pontificate, the fast tracking is being reexamined, and, in Novak's case, at least one serious impediment has been found: his lax conduct regarding the case of at least one abusive priest under his care. The announcement of the Vatican derailment of the cause was made public yesterday by the local diocese: Communiqué on the Cessation of the Canonical Cause for the Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God …
Chapter XVI A certain woman used to repeat the words “ Hail Mary ! ” always with great devotion. And, having to carry food to her husband in the field, because there was no one to whom she could entrust her child, she began by saying devoutly her prayer “ Hail, Mary,” and so forth, and committed her son to the Blessed Virgin in these words : “ I have no one to put in charge over my child except thee.” And so left the boy and went to her husband in the field. But in the meantime a fire broke out in the next house and, hearing an outcry, they ran from the field to the house and found it burnt down. Grieving more for the boy than for the house and the loss of their goods the mother cried out : “ O Blessed Virgin, to thee I entrusted my son.” And they searched for the child and they found him entirely unhurt. Chapter XVII There is a famous place called Speyer on the Rhine where an image of the Mother of God is worshipped, which on three occasions spoke to St Bernard. Whilst his mother …Hafa
"At last the image of the almighty Child is said to have returned his embraces and said : “ Pupupe, do not cry. After three days thou shalt eat with me.” The mother heard and trembled. She told an old canon who came up about the miracle, who, wisely perceiving the truth said : “ Watch your son from this day, and after three days you will not have him.” At once the child caught a fever and died within three days and so went to Christ."
Fr. Christopher Basden draws on his Middle East upbringing to challenge mainstream narratives about Iran, Israel, and the push toward war. He argues that claims of imminent threats mirror past justifications like the Iraq War, while deeper conflicts over Palestine and geopolitical interests continue to fuel instability. The discussion highlights the human cost of war, including displacement, destruction, and the suffering of Christian communities. Criticism is directed at Western Church leaders for inconsistent responses to these crises. Despite the turmoil, Fr. Basden points to growing awareness and enduring faith as signs of hope.

St. Waldetrudis (+ c. 688) - Memorial: April 9 Also known as Waltrude or Waudru, Waltrudis was the daughter of Saints Walbert and Bertilia and sister of St. Aldegunus of Maubeuge. Marrying St. Vincent Madelgarius, she became the mother of saints Landericus, Madalberta, Adeltrudis, and Dentelin. When her husband chose to become a monk about 643 in the monastery of Hautrnont, France, he had founded, she established a convent at Chateaulieu, around which grew up the town of Mons, Belgium.
Hegseth: Trump 'chose mercy' on Iran By Ryan King Secretary of War Pete Hegseth underscored how the US could've taken far more brutal action against Iran, but President Trump opted for mercy instead. "They couldn't defend against it. President Trump had the power to cripple Iran's entire economy in minutes," Hegseth said, referring to energy and bridge infrastructure in Iran. "But he chose mercy." "He spared those targets because Iran accepted the cease-fire under overwhelming pressure. The new Iranian regime understood that a deal was far better than the fate that awaited them."

Trump’s F-bomb post was appalling and offensive, and that was what he intended. But why? Why be ugly on purpose? Like everything Trump tweets, it was for a reason. Even the Times’s TDS-inflicted experts agree that Iran cannot win militarily. It’s just a matter of time. So the only way Iran can ‘win’ is politically. Iran’s strategy is to wait out Trump’s approval rating. That’s their whole plan. They plan to hold out until Trump’s own supporters make him stop. Treasonous corporate media is enthusiastically helping Iran. Trump’s offensive tweet was meant to convey one simple message to the mullahs: I don’t care about the politics. I’m moving forward anyway. Don’t test me.
Elbridge Colby, serving as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy under Donald Trump, reportedly summoned the then Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, to the Pentagon in January. This was reported by TheFp.com on April 6. The meeting followed a speech by Leo XIV to diplomats in which he warned against “the imperialist occupation of the world” and urged leaders to abandon the “desire to dominate others.” The Pentagon considered the speech as a bitter lecture against the USA. Colby and his colleagues told the Nuncio that the Catholic Church had better take its side. One U.S. official went so far as to mention the Avignon Papacy (1309–1377), when the popes were under strong influence from the French crown. Cardinal Pierre sat through the lecture in silence. #newsYbhsfkutcq

Bishop Hervé Giraud of Viviers, France, has ordered the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND), a Novus-Ordo community, to stop accepting new members and to suspend all religious vows, following a recent court ruling involving the community’s former superior, Fr Bernard Domini. The decision, announced on 30 March, follows a French court sentencing the former leader for “abuse of weakness”. However, the community’s lawyer described the ruling as 'close to an acquittal'. Both sides have appealed the verdict, meaning the case is not final. The bishop presented the measure as a precautionary step, but it has drawn strong criticism. Some families argue that it disregards the presumption of innocence and disrupts long-standing vocations. Parents have accused the bishop of “abuse of power” and of “destroying the religious lives” of their children by preventing them from making commitments that had been prepared for over many years. Bishop Giraud has since said [=words], he is willing …Hafa
"Despite a ceasefire between the US and Iran, Israel continues to completely wipe out Christian villages in Southern Lebanon - some of which have been in place since the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - while the alleged target, Hezbollah, moves safely to the north and west of the country. More Christians have been exterminated by the Jewish state in this operation than all of the Christians killed by ISIS combined."
In the ceasefire Iran said, the killing and bombing in Lebanon must cease! Iran defending Christians once again. While as usual bibi wants them dead. The Christians in Iran are with the government and against the US and Israel for attacking them for no reason. They are standing side by side by the Iranians because they see themselves as brothers. They want us out of there NOW! Larry Johnson said that is part of the ceasefire. Trump went crawling to them after no one cared to get involved in his evil war. We lost and he knows it. So he went begging Iran to stop. Except the killing in Lebanon must stop as part of the deal. Remember trump and bibi bombed them twice in the middle of negotiations. First time killing 170 little girls. As well as trying to bomb a little boys school. Iran made out in a great way with this ceasefire. But it wont last. I doubt this very highly. We know we can't trust trump. And now the whole world knows they can't and they all turned their backs on him. Sad to …Hafa
