Bishop Suspends Six Priests, Introduces Strict Discipline

Bishop Hieronymus Emusugut Joya of Maralal, Kenya, has suspended six diocesan priests as part of a sweeping package of measures. They are aimed at strengthening discipline and financial accountability.
The suspensions follow allegations of abuse of ecclesiastical authority, administrative negligence, and the mismanagement of Church property. Announcing the decision during Mass on 12 July, Bishop Joya said he had acted only after receiving credible evidence.
The suspensions affect a significant proportion of the diocese's clergy. Established by St. John Paul II in 2001, the diocese has 15 parishes served by 30 diocesan priests.
Alongside the suspensions, Bishop Joya introduced a series of disciplinary and administrative directives for clergy, including:
- Priests must return to their residences by 7:00 p.m. for evening prayer.
- Priests require the bishop's permission to spend the night away from their residence.
- No lay person may stay overnight in a priest's residence without prior …Bebree

French Bishop: Pro-Euthanasia Lawmakers Cannot Receive Communion

“When a member of parliament identifies as Catholic while supporting legislation that authorizes the taking of life, he objectively places himself in opposition not only to the Church's constant teaching but also to a fundamental principle of human reason,” Bishop Marc Aillet of Bayonne told France-Catholique.fr on July 7.
Members of the French National Assembly are expected to vote on the euthanasia bill on July 15.
Bishop Aillet said euthanasia is “an intrinsically evil act, regardless of the circumstances” and that Catholics engaged in public life cannot ignore this teaching, “If they are aware of this inconsistency, they will no longer be able to receive Holy Communion.”
Responding to the presentation of euthanasia as an “act of humanity,” Bishop Aillet said that a truly fraternal society does not respond to suffering by eliminating the person who suffers.
He added that this message must be proclaimed despite “the dominant discourse, which seriously clouds consciences,” and “the …Bebree

A French bishop has said Catholic lawmakers who knowingly support assisted suicide legislation should not receive Holy Communion, arguing that backing euthanasia places them in opposition to the Church's moral teaching.

JANET ZIMMER

Anybody know why Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney. is still allowed to turn up at Mass and be given Communion even though he is a long, continuing, unrepentant advocate of both the country's rapidly expanding murder regimes (aka assisted suicide and abortion)? Do the bishops and archbishops and Vatican ambassador up there not follow the news?

Euthanasia Bill Rapporteur Attends Mass, Takes Offense at Anti-Euthanasia Homily

"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything."
Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates.
Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois.
Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said.
According to witnesses cited by …Bebree

Northern Ireland: Carrying a Bible Can Be a Criminal Offence

On July 2, the Northern Ireland Policing Board published guidance on how Safe Access Zone legislation applies to hospital ministry.
The zones extend up to 100 metres (extendable to 250 metres) around premises that kill unborn children. Three groups are protected: mothers attending for abortion, anyone accompanying them, and staff.
The flagged activities are:
- prayer with patients during end-of-life care
- scripture reading requested by patients or families
- carrying Bibles or religious materials through public areas of hospitals
- consensual pastoral ministry within wards or hospital grounds
- visible religious practice within areas covered by Safe Access Zones
These religious actions could constitute an offence within a designated zone. It is enough if a "reasonable person" would consider them capable of influencing, or "causing distress" to, a mother seeking an abortion - even if there is no intent to do so.
The guidance states there is no exemption for clergy or religious activity …Bebree

[EN/DE] 🇺🇸🌎 From HAARP to space mirrors: Has the US green-lit the weaponization of sunlight?
Deaf to a chorus of alarms from astronomers, environmentalists, and wildlife experts, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted a California start-up permission to experiment bouncing solar rays onto the dark side of Earth, turning night to day for a specific patch of land.
👉 Reflect Orbital’s satellite Earendil-1, orbiting at about 644 kilometers above Earth, will unfurl its mirror to light a 4.8-kilometer-wide circle for minutes at a time.
Equipped with a steerable 18-meter thin-film reflector, the satellite is just the opening salvo of the company’s ambitious vision of “Sunlight on Demand,” where customers could order artificial daylight over multi-kilometer patches for solar farms, disaster relief, or urban illumination.
The company envisions scaling to eventually 50,000 massive mirrors, with the largest of these planned to stretch nearly 55 meters across, reflecting the …Bebree

Swiss Pop Singer Films Lesbian Video in Historic Church: A 22-year-old Swiss pop singer filmed a music video with her girlfriend inside St. Emmeram Church in Regensburg, Germany. The video was intended to promote her song 'You Believe in Jesus, I Believe in Pussy', which celebrates her lesbian relationship. According to the parish, no filming permit had been granted. The matter has been referred to lawyers, and the video has since been removed from the internet.

„Ich bin aus allen Wolken gefallen, als ich das Video am Freitag gesehen habe“, sagte Roman Gerl, Pfarrer von Sankt Emmeram in Regensburg, am Montag. Es habe keine Dreherlaubnis gegeben, und für ein solches Projekt hätte er auch nie eine erteilt."

D: Popsängerin dreht unerlaubt in bayerischer Kirche

Eine junge Schweizer Popsängerin hat mit ihrer Freundin für ein anzügliches Video in einer bayerischen Kirche gedreht, um damit ihre neue Single zu vermarkten. „Ich bin aus allen Wolken gefallen, als ich das Video am Freitag gesehen habe“, sagte Roman Gerl, Pfarrer von Sankt Emmeram in Regensburg, am Montag. Es habe keine Dreherlaubnis gegeben, und für ein solches Projekt hätte er auch nie eine erteilt. In dem Clip zu ihrem Lied „You believe in Jesus, I believe in Pussy“ feiert die 22-jährige Sängerin Milune ihre lesbische Liebesbeziehung. Der katholische Pfarrer bezeichnete das Video als „frivol“ und sprach von einem „absoluten No-Go“. Er sei schockiert, wie damit religiöse Gefühle massiv verletzt worden seien. Anwälte sollen Verbreitung stoppen Die Angelegenheit sei in Absprache mit der Bistumsverwaltung an eine Anwaltskanzlei übergeben worden, um eine weitere Verbreitung des Videos zu unterbinden, so Gerl. Am Montag war es bereits im Internet nicht mehr abrufbar. Der Pfarrer sagte, …

Run of Saint Andrew: Amalfi's Centuries-Old Tradition. The spectacular 'Run of Saint Andrew' in Amalfi, Italy, is part of a centuries-old celebration honoring Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint. According to local tradition, on 27 June 1544, as the fleet of the Ottoman corsair Khayr al-Din Barbarossa threatened Amalfi, the townspeople prayed for Saint Andrew's intercession. A violent storm scattered the enemy ships, and the city was spared. Each year on 27 June, bearers carry the silver reliquary bust of Saint Andrew at a run up the 62 steps of Amalfi Cathedral, commemorating this traditional account of the city's deliverance.

La spettacolare "Corsa di Sant'Andrea": cinque secoli di fede e tradizione:
Secondo la tradizione, il 27 giugno 1544, mentre la flotta del celebre corsaro ottomano Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa minacciava Amalfi, gli abitanti implorarono l'intercessione di Sant'Andrea.

I agree with this. I have posted many ProLife articles and nobody ever responds in a sympathetic way to the unborn in danger of abortion. The latest example was someone extoling Barnhardt for her prolife articles when the truth is that she has never written a prolife article.
