National Catholic Register reports: The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on Tuesday that Hungary’s 2021 LGBTQ law “breached EU founding values,” marking the first time the top EU court found an infringement of Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union. The law, passed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, contained amendments strengthening penalties against pedophilia, protecting minors, and limiting the promotion of LGBTQ and gender-related themes for minors in schools. The CJEU declared these provisions “a coordinated series of discriminatory measures” against non-cisgender and non-heterosexual persons, claiming they violated “human dignity, equality, and human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.” Orbán responded: “Our patriotic government protected Hungarian children from aggressive LGBTQ propaganda. Brusselian empire now strikes back.” The International Society of Natural Law Scholars raised concerns about whether courts are “narrowing the space for states to legislate on moral or child-protection grounds.” The ruling comes shortly after parliamentary elections in which Orbán’s party lost to Péter Magyar’s Tisza party.
EWTN News reports that Apache Stronghold, a Native American group, has filed yet another legal challenge to halt the transfer of Oak Flat in Arizona to Resolution Copper, a mining company. The site is sacred to the Western Apaches. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the Knights of Columbus have filed amicus briefs in support of the Apaches’ claim that the sale violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The article presents this as a straightforward religious liberty issue, with the Catholic “hierarchy” positioning itself as a defender of indigenous worship. What the article does not examine — and what demands ruthless exposure — is the theological absurdity and spiritual danger of Catholic authorities lending the weight of the Church’s name to the legal protection of pagan idolatry, all while the conciliar sect itself has abandoned the very concept of true worship.
The National Catholic Register, citing ACI Stampa and EWTN News, reports on the in-flight press conference of the usurper Robert Prevost, who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV,” held aboard the papal plane returning from an 11-day apostolic journey to Africa on April 23, 2026. During the roughly 20-minute exchange with journalists, the antipope addressed a range of pressing global issues, including the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, the complex phenomenon of migration, the contentious matter of same-sex blessings, and the Vatican’s diplomatic relations with authoritarian regimes. While ostensibly pastoral in tone, his responses consistently evaded definitive moral judgments, prioritized secular humanitarian concerns over supernatural truths, and demonstrated a profound departure from the unchanging teaching of the Catholic Church. This performance, far from being an isolated incident, epitomizes the systemic apostasy and theological bankruptcy that has characterized the conciliar sect since its inception, revealing a “pontiff” more concerned with political correctness and global consensus than with the salvation of souls and the immutable law of God.
EWTN portal reports that on April 23, 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that Hungary’s 2021 LGBTQ law “breaches EU founding values,” marking the first time the top EU court found an infringement of Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union, which enumerates the so-called “values” upon which the union is founded. The Hungarian law, passed by the outgoing government of Viktor Orbán, contained amendments strengthening penalties against pedophilia, protecting minors, as well as limitations on promoting LGBTQ and gender-related issues and themes for minors, mainly in schools. The CJEU judges argued that several amendments “constitute a coordinated series of discriminatory measures” against “the rights of non-cisgender persons — including transgender persons — or nonheterosexual persons,” and are contrary to “respect for human dignity, equality, and human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.” The court also lamented “the offensive and stigmatizing nature of the amending law” as well as “discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation,” and “a preference for certain identities and sexual orientations to the detriment of others.” Viktor Orbán reacted by stating: “Our patriotic government protected Hungarian children from aggressive LGBTQ propaganda. Brusselian empire now strikes back,” promising he would “not give up the fight for the soul of Europe!” The International Society of Natural Law Scholars noted that the ruling exposes a “tension between national authority over education, culture, and family policy” on one hand and “supranational enforcement of rights and nondiscrimination norms” on the other. The ruling comes shortly after Hungary’s parliamentary elections, in which Orbán’s party lost to the Tisza party led by Péter Magyar, who is expected to succeed Orbán and who stated after his election: “Everyone can live with whoever they love as long as they do not violate laws and are not harmful to others.” This ruling lays bare the fundamental incompatibility between the natural law, the perennial Catholic moral doctrine, and the idolatrous “values” of the post-Christian European order — an order in which the conciliar sect itself is complicit through its own internalized revolution against the Social Reign of Christ the King.
An article published by the National Catholic Register (April 23, 2026) reports on a Pew Research Center study confirming what any Catholic faithful to Tradition already knows: the post-conciliar structures occupying the Vatican are hemorrhaging adherents at an unprecedented rate. The study, based on surveys across 24 countries, reveals that in 21 of those nations, more adults leave Catholicism than enter it. In the United States alone, 30% of adults were raised Catholic, yet only 17% remain — a staggering net loss of 13 percentage points. Italy, the seat of the usurper “popes,” suffered a net loss of 21%. Yet the article, like the conciliar apparatus it uncritically serves, presents these catastrophic figures as mere sociological data, devoid of any supernatural diagnosis. The exodus from the post-conciliar sect is not a mystery; it is the entirely predictable fruit of a revolution that abandoned the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, gutted the sacraments, and replaced the reign of Christ the King with the worship of man.
EWTN News portal reports on the in-flight press conference of the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) returning from his apostolic journey to Africa. The article covers his statements on war and the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States; migration and the rights of states versus the dignity of migrants; the Vatican’s diplomatic relations with authoritarian regimes; and same-sex blessings in the wake of Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s decision in Munich. The tone is descriptive and largely uncritical, presenting the antipope’s remarks as pastoral and diplomatic common sense. In reality, this press conference is a concentrated display of modernist apostasy, naturalistic pacifism, the subordination of divine law to secular “human dignity,” and the deliberate marginalization of sexual morality — all hallmarks of the conciliar sect’s systematic betrayal of Catholic doctrine.
Vatican News portal reports on the in-flight press conference of the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) following his apostolic journey to Africa, covering his statements on war, migration, the death penalty, and the blessing of homosexual couples. The article, dated April 23, 2026, presents Leo XIV’s reflections on his encounters with African nations, his appeals for peace in the Iran conflict, his views on migration, and his response to Cardinal Marx’s authorization of blessings for same-sex couples. What emerges is not a shepherd defending the flock, but a diplomat of moral relativism, carefully avoiding the proclamation of Catholic truth in favor of a naturalistic humanism that serves the agenda of the conciliar sect rather than the eternal law of Christ the King.
EWTN News portal reports on a Pew Research Center study revealing that more adults leave the Catholic Church than enter it in most countries surveyed. The research, released April 23, 2026, covering 24 nations and drawing on over 800,000 interviews across more than 110 countries, found that Catholicism has experienced net losses from religious switching in 21 of the 24 countries analyzed. In the United States alone, 30% of adults were raised Catholic but only 17% remain, representing a net loss of 11%. Italy suffered a net loss of 21%. Even in historically Catholic strongholds such as Poland, Hungary, and Mexico, the hemorrhaging continues. Christians who leave the faith tend to join Protestantism or become religiously unaffiliated “nones.”
National Catholic Register reports that Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto has written to Prime Minister Mark Carney urging support for Bill C-218, which would block the expansion of euthanasia (MAID) to those whose sole condition is mental illness. The cardinal speaks of “choosing life,” the “dignity of the human person,” and the need for palliative care — all while operating within structures that have systematically dismantled the Catholic understanding of suffering, death, and the supernatural end of man. This appeal, however well-intentioned it may appear on the surface, is fatally compromised by the very system from which it emanates: the conciliar sect that has abandoned the integral Catholic doctrine on the sanctity of life, the redemptive value of suffering, and the Social Kingship of Christ.
