Ohio Politics Trumbull County Judge David Engler argues the voter-approved reproductive rights amendment eliminates his jurisdiction over minors seeking abortions without parental involvement. (AP Photo/Joe Maiorana, File)AP By Mary Frances McGowan, cleveland.com CLEVELAND -- A Republican judge for a county juvenile court is challenging the voter‑approved reproductive rights amendment in the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing that it is being interpreted in a way that eliminates Ohio’s parental consent and judicial bypass requirements for minors seeking abortions. Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations and Juvenile Division Judge David Engler filed suit in the Ohio Supreme Court this week, contending that the amendment conflicts with Article IV of the Ohio Constitution, which establishes the authority and jurisdiction of the state’s courts. Engler argues that the amendment, approved by voters in November 2023, has infringed upon his jurisdiction as a juvenile court judge …
John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …Lokwengentiwe

“The multiplication of the loaves and fishes occurred during the sharing; that is the miracle,” said Pope Leo XIV in his homily at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon, on 17 April, which was attended by around 120,000 people. He continued: ‘There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken not with a snatching hand, but with a giving hand.” Common heresy in the Francis era Here, Leo XIV reflects an idea that Pope Francis has returned to several times: that the multiplication of the loaves is not about a supernatural increase in food, but a transformation of human hearts that leads to sharing. During the Angelus on 26 July 2015, Francis said that 'the miracle does not consist in the multiplication itself, but in the sharing'. At the Angelus on 29 July 2018, and in various weekday homilies at Santa Marta, Francis reiterated that the true sign is not a miracle, but a change in attitude; the crowd learns to share. On 25 July 2021, Francis …Lokwengentiwe
"Eternal Wisdom.--It is as impossible as to compress the heavens together and enclose them in a nut shell. Such persons array themselves in fair words, they build upon the wind, and construct upon the rainbow. How may the eternal abide with the temporal, when even one temporal thing neither can nor will endure another? He but deceives himself who thinks he can lodge the King of kings in a common inn, or thrust Him into the mean dwelling of a servant. In entire seclusion from all creatures must he keep himself who is desirous of receiving his guest as he ought.”
[Blessed Henry Suso; XIII-XIV Century AD; Uberlingen, Holy Roman Empire/Ulm, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 70); Religious, Priest; Mystic; German Dominican Friar] “ Chapter VI ~ How Deceitful the Love of This World is, And How Amiable God Is The Servant.--Sweetest God, if I leave Thee but a little I am like a young roe which has strayed from its dam, and is pursued by the hunter, and runs wildly about, until it escapes back to its cover. Lord, I flee, I run to Thee with ardent desire, like a stag to the living waters. Lord, one little hour without Thee is a whole year; to be estranged one day from Thee is as much as a thousand years to a loving heart. Therefore, Thou branch of salvation, Thou bush of May, Thou red blooming rose-tree, open and spread out the green branches of Thy divine nature. Lord, Thy countenance is so full of graciousness, Thy mouth so full of living words, Thy whole carriage such a pure mirror of all discipline and meekness!

Acts 6:8-15 “They could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.” When a person allows himself to be taught by the Holy Spirit, his language becomes pure, simple, and realistic. John 6:22-29 “Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life.” Jesus is speaking of the reality of heaven. The food of heaven, which is also found in the Eucharist, is the Love of God; his joy and his peace. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
18. apr. 2026. The Catholic Family Podcast Bishop Pierre Roy Answers Questions Regarding an Imperfect General Council "When there is no true successor of Saint Peter, the election of a Supreme Pontiff remains an important duty incumbent upon the Church. When the Church finds Herself without a Pope, as happens upon the death of the Pontiff, She is bound to provide Herself with another; that is to say, Her members must act to ensure that the Holy See is once again occupied. This shows how important it is for the Church to have a visible head, the true principle of unity." Source: Novus Ordo Watch on Catholic Family Podcast
What stood out in this report is not a vague trend line but something concrete and measurable. Confession is increasing. In a time when the common narrative says Catholics are disengaged, this points in the opposite direction. People are returning to the sacrament that requires honesty, examination of conscience, and a real encounter with mercy.

Saint of the Day, April 20th 1967. Without revision of the Author Statue of Saint Anselm outside Canterbury Cathedral Tomorrow, the 21st, we have the feast of St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033 ca. – 1109), Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church. Intrepid in the battles of the Faith, he defended the Church against King William, the redhead. “Christ, he used to say, does not want a slave for a wife. He loves nothing in this world so much as the freedom of His Church.” An account of the consecration of St. Anselm published in Lives of the Saints by Rohrbacher: The English bishops decided to consecrate Anselm as Archbishop of Canterbury, but he flatly refused because he knew of the royal intrusion into this office. The prelates showed him the consequences of his refusal for England. The Saint replied he was aware of those problems but was old and barely able to carry himself. How could he bear the burden of an entire Church? On the other hand, it was not his nature to take care of temporal …Lokwengentiwe
"The same happens in this episode with St. Anselm: they are mysteries of the Church’s life. God shows His divine greatness through these mysterious facts, and later, things are explained."
