America’s Catholic bishops are once again focusing their energies on immigration concerns, subtly undermining the Catholic Church’s teachings on the subject, while highlighting their hypocrisy on the defense of the unborn.

Border czar Tom Homan blasts Catholic bishops over deportations
White House border czar Tom Homan criticized the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on Friday after they issued a statement earlier this week opposing “the indiscriminate mass deportation of people.”
“The Catholic Church is wrong,” Homan told reporters at the White House. “I’m a lifelong Catholic, but I’m saying it not only as a border czar, but I’m also saying this as a Catholic,” he added.
The U.S. Conference Of Catholic Bishops Needs To Stop Apologizing For Islam
Earlier this month, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) published “Islamophobia: A Guide for U.S. Catholics on Anti-Muslim Bigotry.” Showcased on the USCCB website with a lovely Islamic design cover, this 15-page booklet exhorts Catholics to “address the disturbing phenomenon of anti-Muslim sentiment in our times.”
Introduced by the co-chairs of the National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue (NCMD) — Bishop Elias Lorenzo of Newark and Imam Kareem Irfan — the USCCB declares dire need to counter “the rising tide of anti-Muslim sentiment that has been present for decades.”
The Pale Horse Apostasy
Sometimes highly indecent, scandalous public acts are the stepchildren of larger, hidden scandals.
You have only to look at the Vatican and the papacy of Leo XIV to understand how this works.
Vatican’s Secretary of State under fire for describing Islamic attacks against Christians in Nigeria as a ‘social conflict.’
Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin is under fire for remarks that downplay the terror attacks that Christians in Nigeria have been suffering at the hands of Islamic extremists for decades.
Parolin was the keynote speaker for an event held at the Vatican on Tuesday. The gathering focused on the recently released 2025 Religious Freedom Report published by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
ACN surveyed 196 countries for its report. It found that just under two-thirds of the world’s population live in countries with “serious or very serious violations of religious freedom.” Twenty-four countries, including Nigeria, received the “worst” category in its report: persecution.
King Charles and Pope Leo hold historic prayer service in Vatican
King Charles and Pope Leo XIV held a historic joint prayer in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, the first time a British monarch and a Pope have prayed together publicly since Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church in the 16th century.
The prayer is the key moment in a two-day visit by the King and Queen to Rome and the Vatican designed to boost ties between the Vatican and the Church of England, of which Charles is the supreme governor.
Catholic Churches Following Vatican as the Harshest and Most Consistent Critics of Trump’s Immigration Policies
A major driver behind President Trump’s re-election was the support he received from religious voters. However, the largest Christian denomination in the world has become one of the most consistent critics of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Despite Mr. Trump’s efforts to promote religious themes and maintain support among religious voters, one of his sharpest critics has been the Catholic Church, with harsh criticism coming not just from individual leaders or organizations but from the Vatican itself.
Defender of the Faith, Meet the Bishop of Rome
King Charles III’s visit next week to the Vatican marks an extraordinary moment in the history of what was once called Christendom. For the first time since Henry VIII split with the Church of
Rome five centuries ago, the pope — Leo XIV — and the defender of the faith — Charles — will bow their heads together in prayer. And at the Sistine Chapel no less, enmeshed by Michelangelo’s frescoes of creation and last judgment.
The Vatican goes fluffy on Islam again
A FEW weeks ago we published what some might consider to have been a provocatively titled article, ‘Is the Catholic Church complicit in the Islamification of Europe?’ The evidence it contains was, however, compelling.
Now we learn that the Vatican has acceded to a Muslim plea for a dedicated prayer room in the historic and spiritual heart of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Herald reports that Fr Giacomo Cardinali, Vice Prefect of the Vatican Library, said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that Muslim academics had requested an area in which to pray, and the library had agreed.
Vatican ‘grants request for Muslim prayer room’
The Vatican has granted Muslim scholars’ request for a prayer room.
In an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Father Giacomo Cardinali, the Vice Prefect of the Vatican Library, said the ancient institution is now allowing academics an area to practice their own religion onsite.
He said: ‘Some Muslim scholars asked us for a room with a prayer rug, and we gave it to them.’

Is the Catholic Church complicit in the Islamisation of Europe?
THE British Isles have become the epicentre of opposition to unchecked Muslim immigration. Angry over the rape and sexual abuse of women and girls, citizens demand their governments stop making migrants a protected class.
In response, the Catholic bishops contribute silence.
Pope Leo on prospect of trillionaire Elon Musk: ‘We’re in big trouble’
Pope Leo has condemned the huge wages earned by top chief executives, citing Elon Musk’s possible rise to trillionaire status as a concern, in his first interview since being elected in May.
The pontiff also warned that the United Nations was unable to resolve the world’s crises, admitted he was on a steep learning curve as a diplomat and revealed who he would support at the next World Cup.
Since his election the Pope, who was born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has made clear his fears for the plight of the world’s low earners — taking the papal name Leo in honour of Leo XIII, the 19th-century pontiff who campaigned for better wages and union rights for factory workers.
The End of Catholic Europe?
Europe must return to the Catholic Faith, abandon its postliberal progressivism, and once again embrace its Catholic identity.
Over the course of his life, English author and Catholic convert Evelyn Waugh insisted that the Catholic Faith is fundamental to the identity of Europe. A seasoned travel writer, war correspondent, and World War II veteran, Waugh had traveled across much of Europe and seen the damage done by various anti-Christian philosophies, ideologies, and movements. In 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, he wrote, “The history of Europe is the history of the Church; the two are inseparable.”
Tech-Savvy Teen Becomes Catholic Church’s First Millennial Saint
ASSISI, Italy—Every day this summer, thousands of Catholic devotees have streamed into a 12th-century church in this medieval town to pay their respects to a tech-savvy teenager seen by some as the patron saint of the internet.
Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 from leukemia at the age of 15, was officially recognized as a saint by Pope Leo XIV on Sunday, bestowing the Catholic Church’s highest honor on a millennial for the first time.
Sometimes also dubbed “God’s influencer,” St. Carlo’s emerging iconography often depicts him holding a laptop. It is a nod to his hobby—computer programming—a skill he used to spread the Gospel, designing websites for religious institutions and a personal website cataloging miracles.
Pope’s ‘Jubilee of Youth’ ends with mass for 1 million
Young people from nearly 150 countries celebrated Mass on Sunday with Pope Leo XIV at the end of the Catholic Church’s Jubilee of Youth in Italy.
The Vatican said more than a million youth took part in the huge event in a vast open space at Rome’s University of Tor Vergata.
