Leo XIV’s Synod proposes lay women to officiate at weddings

A newly released Synod document revisits the question of women deacons and proposes changes to canon law that could allow laypeople, including women, to assist at marriages without first obtaining authorization from the Holy See. The document emphasizes expanding women’s roles in the Church, including positions such as acolytes and lectors. John-Henry Westen describes the proposed changes as significant and as another step toward reshaping the Church’s ministerial structure. Westen also discusses Pope Leo XIV’s remarks about Germany’s AfD party, which the Pope characterized as promoting hatred and division. Westen challenges that characterization by pointing to the party’s positions on […]

Canada convicts a Christian for ‘hate’; Rome: Hate speech can’t claim freedom

LifeSiteNews’ main story today is about Christian activist Bill Whatcott, who has been found guilty of a hate crime stemming from flyers he distributed at a 2016 Toronto Pride parade.

The activist, who was previously acquitted in 2021, remains free on bail ahead of sentencing in December and is barred from leaving Canada. The case has sparked concerns over the potential impact of hate-crime laws on religious expression and […]

Leo XIV installs a new pro-gay McCarrick-ordained bishop in America

Pope Leo XIV appointed Bishop Michael Saporito, ordained by Theodore McCarrick in 1992, involved in LGBTQ ministry, and a participant in a closed-door gathering of pro-LGBT bishops, as bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey.

Pope Leo installs ‘rainbow bishop’ who said ‘Church is called to disappear’

Europe’s Christian future may be slipping away faster than many Catholics realize. Pope Leo XIV appointed a coadjutor archbishop who once wrote that “the Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow,” while major cultural battles continue across France over euthanasia, Catholic education, and public blasphemy. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn has warned, “Whoever has the children, has the future,” and philosopher Edward Feser argues that collapsing Christian birth rates, more than immigration, are driving Christianity’s decline in the West. This video examines what these developments could mean for the future of the Church and Christian culture in Europe.

BREAKING: Leo XIV implies Latin Mass lacked conscious participation of the faithful

Pope Leo XIV has suggested that the Traditional Latin Mass lacks the “conscious and active participation” of the faithful — a claim the segment challenges with survey data. Among 446 traditional Latin Mass attendees surveyed, only 2% viewed the Eucharist as merely symbolic, compared with 69% in a broader Pew survey of Catholics. The data also show significant differences in attitudes toward contraception, abortion, same-sex marriage, Mass attendance, confession, charitable giving, and family size. The host argues that the statistics challenge the idea that the traditional Latin Mass produces less conscious engagement with the Catholic faith. Instead, the data indicate […]
