A priest, 57, former member of the conservative French community St Jean, was tried on 29 January before the tribunal correctionnel d’Alençon, Orne, France, on charges of corruption of tw minors over the age of 15 and possession of pornographic images involving minors. He was found guilty and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, fully suspended. The case concerns acts alleged to have occurred in July 2014 in London during a language trip.

According to the investigation, one adolescent reported that the priest washed his back and feet in a shared shower and then asked him to wash the priest’s genitals, while the second brother described different but comparable inappropriate acts. The victims stated that their mother had known the priest since before their birth, reinforcing the relationship of trust. Following a complaint by one of the brothers, French authorities opened a …Caman

The Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bari stands as one of Christianity’s most important places of Catholic–Orthodox encounter. Since the relics of Saint Nicholas were brought from Myra in 1087, the basilica has welcomed pilgrims from every nation—becoming a living bridge between East and West. In this report, Fr. Emmanuel Albano, Coordinator of the Saint Nicholas Ecumenical Institute, explains why Saint Nicholas is often called the saint of interreligious dialogue. Within the same sacred space, Catholic Mass and the Orthodox Divine Liturgy are celebrated—sometimes at the very same altar—offering a powerful sign of unity rooted in prayer rather than uniformity.In this report, Fr.

On Wednesday, a Swiss court found left-wing politician Sanija Ameti guilty of sharing photos in 2024 of her shooting at pictures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The former Green Liberal Party (GLP) member was given a suspended fine totalling 3,500 Swiss francs for disturbing freedom of religion. While the judge acknowledged that her actions showed clear disregard for the Christian faith, the court ruled that Ameti had not intended to cause offence, citing emotional distress. Following the incident, Ameti apologised, deleted the post, resigned from the GLP and lost her job.
Nach einer langwierigen Verhandlung sprach das Bezirksgericht die fehlbare Politikerin schuldig. Die Strafe milderte sie aber deutlich: Ameti kassierte eine Geldstrafe von 60 Tagessätzen à 50 Franken mit einer Probezeit von zwei Jahren. Dazu kommt eine Busse von 500 Franken.

Kansas State bursts with conversions - … As Easter approaches, a remarkably large group at Kansas State University is preparing to enter full communion with the Catholic Church: At least 110 people, mostly students, along with faculty and staff, are completing the campus ministry parish’s Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). The figure is nearly triple the parish’s usual number, making Kansas State’s Catholic Center, St. Isidore’s, a striking example of a wider surge in young adult conversions being reported across the country. By mid-summer of 2025, months before the start of fall classes, St. Isidore’s had already surpassed the previous year’s total number of participants. As signups continued to climb, staff adjusted nearly every aspect of the program, adding an additional weekly class time and expanding one-on-one instruction for those joining later in the year. “It’s felt a little like trying to control the floodgates,” Ridge Pinkston, the director of OCIA at the …Caman
It is right judgement and right reason to understand that GOD wants both pro-choice women and pro-choice men to convert. The conversion of both men and women means that to be righteous, which means right with GOD, both women and men must remain chaste until marriage according to what GOD has revealed, and this is the answer for the entire world to follow which will result in the END OF ABORTION.
It is possible that pro-choice men are against the abortion of puppies too; but then again will they value animals more than the baby they conceived as fathers involved in fornication if they are pro-choice men?
JESUS CHRIST admonished the people to follow good doctrine, not the bad example of the hypocrite leaders- --- Wo to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you are like whitened sepulchers, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within, are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness. So, you also outwardly, indeed, appear to men just: but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. -GOSPEL of Saint Matthew 23:27-28 [uncorrupted Douay Rheims BIBLE]
youtube.com/watch?v=sHgV2dhWmQ0 Our Lord back in the day couldn’t say look at the data sets and the statistics will tell you how much fruit. St Matthew Ch. 7 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Frightful to know for everyone convert 8.4 Catholics leave the Faith!
The late Belgian Catholic priest Abbé Maurice Léonard, who was publicly mourned by his female “companion” and his “children of the heart,” was not an isolated case. RiposteCatholique.fr has published on January 29 another obituary that renews questions about clerical celibacy in Belgium. Abbé Marc Otjacques, a longtime priest in the Andenne region, died on September 4, 2025 at age 73 in a bicycle accident while returning from presiding over a Eucharist. The official diocesan obituary praised his decades-long commitment to the poor and made no mention of a concubine. According to a separate family-published notice, the priest was mourned by Madeleine Dorjoux, identified as his companion; Caroline and Ludovic Trufin-Struvay, described as his “daughter of the heart” and son-in-law; and Laure-Anne and Romain, his beloved grandchildren. #newsHynsecvpst

Saint Toma Khuong, also known as Saint Thomas Khuong or Tôma Khuông (full Vietnamese name often given as Thomas Ngô Túc Khuông or Thomas Khuông Tuc Ngo), was a Vietnamese priest and martyr born around 1780 in Tonkin (northern Vietnam), likely in the province of Hưng Yên. He came from a noble family, possibly the son of a mandarin, and was raised as a Christian from childhood in a time when the faith had taken root in Vietnam through missionary efforts but faced recurring hostility from imperial authorities. Khuong became a diocesan priest serving in the apostolic vicariate of Central Tonkin. He was also affiliated with the Dominican order as a tertiary (a lay member of the Dominican Third Order or confraternity for priests), reflecting his deep commitment to prayer, study, and pastoral work. Known for his piety, intellectual gifts dedicated to exploring faith through reason, and dedication to his flock, he ministered discreetly amid periodic anti-Christian persecutions under emperors …Caman

Pope Leo XIV is expected to return to the Apostolic Palace, but not to the former papal apartment, reports the Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Friday. He plans to move into a top-floor attic-style apartment located one level above the papal residence. It is barely visible from the outside. The apartment is described as being located above the papal apartments, on the uppermost level between the 'Third Loggia' and the roof. It is situated in a self-contained section of the palace. Inside the new apartment are bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, a fitness room, a small private chapel and a roof terrace. On the terrace, there is a replica of the Lourdes grotto, placed there during the pontificate of John Paul II. Despite repeated expectations that the move was imminent, no specific move date has been set. #newsJqrfiojjus
