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

“My body was telling me that this baby belonged to me” – Christian’s Testimony on Surrogacy Abolish Surrogacy - Abolition GPA youtube.com/watch?v=G1-nFkbwOYQ LISTEN TO THE WOMEN CONCERNED: TRUTHS ABOUT SURROGACY In the media, commissioning people – wrongly called intended parents – are the ones whose voices are heard. But who listens to the women who gave birth ? ➤ Christian, a woman from the United States, accepted to carry a pregnancy for a couple she wanted to help. What seemed like an act of generosity turned into a nightmare: a high-risk pregnancy, a fraudulent contract, and the loss of any contact with her child. Her story exposes the violence of a system that exploits women and commodifies children. Surrogacy is not a medical act nor a free choice – it is a global reproductive market built on economic and gender inequalities. Recorded at the public event Listen to the Women Concerned: Truths about Surrogacy held at the French Senate (Palais du Luxembourg) on October …Higit pa
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.

The Vatican is preparing an unprecedented bistro on the large terrace above St Peter’s Basilica. The project would reuse former storage rooms once used by the Sampietrini, the basilica’s maintenance staff. According to LaSicilia.it, furniture and fittings have already been delivered, suggesting the work is well advanced. A small bar already operates on the terrace, and the planned bistro would expand this service as part of the basilica’s gradual musealization.
In Vaticano da tempo si sta silenziosamente lavorando alla realizzazione del primo ristorante nel suo genere perché progettato per funzionare nel cuore della principale basilica patriarcale, collocato proprio sul grande terrazzamento che sovrasta San Pietro.

Requiescat in pace, good bishop Richard Williamson. Interview of Bishop Williamson by Fr. David Nix youtube.com/watch?v=WjUrIIu7epg --- Richard Williamson was born in the UK during WWII in 1940. He converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism in 1971. He was later ordained a priest in 1976 and consecrated a bishop in 1988, both by Archbishop Lefebvre. Retired Naval Academy professor Dr. David Allen White wrote that Bishop Williamson is “the most outspoken, detested, persistent, outrageous, implacable, unyielding, forthright, kindly and charitable Catholic Bishop." I hope you agree after watching this video. (The second half is the best.)
Introduction In a lengthy and widely discussed interview on Church and State, Bishop Pierre Roy, superior of the Mission Notre-Dame de Joie in Eastern Canada, articulated a position that has unsettled traditional Catholic circles not because it is rash, but because it names—without euphemism—the question many have learned not to ask. If the Holy See has been vacant for generations, is waiting itself now functioning as an ecclesiology? And if so, can such a posture still claim fidelity to a Church that is visible, indefectible, and divinely constituted? Bishop Roy does not present himself as a conclavist, nor as a self-appointed restorer of order. He insists repeatedly on restraint, universality, and submission once the Church speaks. Yet he refuses to sanctify inertia. His intervention exposes a fault line running through traditional Catholicism: the uneasy coexistence of emergency measures and permanent delay. The Core Thesis Bishop Roy’s argument rests on several interlinked claims. …Higit pa
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
