German Priest Steps Down to Marry His Longtime Secret Partner: German priest Andreas Unfried, 63, is stepping down after revealing he has been secretly in a relationship with a woman for many years. He has served as a priest for 37 years near Frankfurt. In an open letter, he announced plans to marry his longtime partner. The Diocese of Limburg, led by Bishop Georg Bätzing, said it respects his decision and thanked the priest for decades of "service". Unfried, in turn, thanked Bishop Bätzing for treating him with "respect".
Kurz vor dem Ruhestand hängt er in einer emotionalen, öffentlichen Beichte das Messgewand an den Nagel, gibt die Pfarrei auf und will seine Freundin heiraten.
THE happenings of our days are supplying strong arguments that the prophecies of the Holy Scriptures are coming to their realization. Better information means better preparedness. THE SMOKE OF THE ANTICHRIST is not available in book stores. The distribution of this book is carried out by the goodwill and ingenuity of its readers who wish to be the "fragrance of Christ for God" (II Cor. 2, 15), by sharing the light of Christ with their fellow men, in this age of general confusion brought into the world by "the world rulers of this darkness" (Eph. 6, 12).

Leo XIV at Angelus, says that when it comes to pastoral choices, it doesn’t suffice to simply carry on as we always have: “Dear friends, let us learn not to close ourselves off within our own religious convictions and certainties, but rather to remain open to an authentic relationship with Christ. Sometimes, regarding the Christian faith, we settle for hearsay, clichés, or what has been handed down to us—perhaps even with good intentions. Yet Jesus calls us to a personal response, to know Him intimately, and to let our lives be shaped by friendship with Him—in an ever-new encounter that may require us to walk uncharted paths and make choices different from those we had imagined. This applies both to our personal journey and to the path of the Church and its pastoral choices, where we sometimes think it suffices to simply carry on as we always have. Instead, it is important to ask ourselves frequently: Who is the Lord to me? Do I truly know Him? What does His Gospel ask of me today? What …More
Two short video quotes from today's Angelus: Leo XIV offers unusual definitions of faith, suggesting that focusing on what has been handed down to us is insufficient.
Trump’s Economic Approach Draws Concern From Some Republicans nytimes.com/…s/politics/trump-republicans-economy… A plan to lower tariffs on imported beef and trade tensions with Canada have compounded some G.O.P. worries about a central issue in the midterms. By Bayliss Wagner Aug. 23, 2026 President Trump’s economic policies drew a fresh round of concern from some Republicans this weekend who criticized his trade policies, as others in the party sidestepped questions about his broader approach amid a midterm election that has put consumer prices front and center. Representative Ashley Hinson of Iowa, a Republican running in one of the most competitive Senate races, reiterated her opposition to Mr. Trump’s recent announcement that he would lower tariffs for up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef over the next 90 days, which he claimed would push down costs. “We need to focus on affordability, but I think this isn’t the way to do that,” Ms. Hinson told Fox News in an interview …More
On August 25, 2016, Argentina awoke to the news that a monastery of Discalced Carmelites in Nogoyá, in the province of Entre Ríos, had been raided. And as details of the abuses of power taking place there began to emerge, more than one person thought, amid surprise and horror: “This could be a series.” Ten years later, that intuition became a reality. Cautiva will premiere next month on HBO, TNT and Flow. Once it premieres, many people will have the opportunity to enter the little-known world of a cloistered monastery and discover, through fiction, the events that took place at the Carmelite monastery in Nogoyá between 2007 and 2016, during which time Silvia and Roxana were held captive by former prioress Isabel Toledo, who was sentenced to three years in prison in 2019 for these acts. And while the series opens the doors of that cloistered world to the general public, it also allowed me to enter another world that had been completely unknown to me until then: that of a large-scale …More

In Italy, a Beach Club Run by Nuns Is in Jeopardy nytimes.com/2026/08/19/world/europe/italy-nuns-be… The Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have hosted beachgoers in the town of Spotorno for decades. But change is coming.
Le suore in «guerra santa» per lo stabilimento Bagni Garrone a Spotorno, il comune lo mette all'asta Un gruppo di suore italiane si sta opponendo ai piani del consiglio comunale di espropriare il loro stabilimento balneare. Si tratta dell'ultimo episodio del lungo dibattito sul monopolio delle concessioni private lungo le coste italiane. La disputa, definita "guerra santa" da alcuni organi di stampa locali, riporta il Guardian, è scoppiata quando un tratto di spiaggia di 50 metri presso Bagni Garrone, una località balneare nella città costiera ligure di Spotorno gestita dalle suore dell'ordine delle Suore di Carità di Santa Maria, è stato messo all'asta pubblica dalle autorità, nel tentativo di conformarsi alle normative europee sulle concessioni balneari e ai regolamenti regionali sulle quote di spiagge gratuite. Le suore gestiscono il resort dal 1946, essendo state esentate dalle normali normative commerciali in quanto utilizzavano i proventi per scopi benefici, tra cui il finanziamento …More
By Elisabetta Povoledo Reporting from Rome Aug. 19, 2026 It’s been billed as the Sisters of Charity versus the mayor. For 80 years or more, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have occupied a small slice of terrestrial paradise, running one of thousands of beach clubs along Italy’s coast. But this longtime arrangement in Spotorno, an Italian town on the Ligurian Sea, may soon come to an end. The nuns’ beach, like all the Italian coastline, is publicly owned, and local officials say their lease will soon be put up for auction, along with those of other beachfront clubs. Some Spotorno residents are unhappy about it, saying that the nuns had supported the community for many years. Italian news outlets have picked up the story, several of them using variations on “Holy War” in their headlines. But Mayor Mattia Fiorini says he is simply trying to enforce regional and European Union laws that have been ignored for two decades. “Every Italian story seems a soap opera,” he said, adding, “We …More
Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick: Saint Bartholomew (Nathanael) 42 Life of Jesus Christ of Jesus to Nathanael, since he, Nathanael, had not accompanied his friends to Gennabris. They were, however, well acquainted with each other, and Philip, full of joy, was enthusiastic when speaking of Jesus. "He is," he said, "the Messiah of whom the Prophets have spoken. We have found Him, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph." Nathanael was of a bright, lively disposition, energetic and self-reliant, consequently frank and sincere. In reply to Philip's remarks, Nathanael said: "Can anything very good come from Nazareth?" He knew the reputation of the Nazareans, that they were of a contradictory spirit and were not distinguished for the wisdom of their schools. He thought that a man who had been educated there might indeed shine in the eyes of his credulous and simpleminded friends, but that he could never satisfy his own pretentious claims to learning. But Philip bade him come and see for himself,…More

The Safety Valve of the Holy Spirit: How Vatican II’s "Pastoral" Shield Preserved the Faith For sixty years, the Catholic faithful have been told to bow before a new deity: the elusive, shape-shifting "Spirit of Vatican II." We have been assured that the twenty-first ecumenical council was a rupture, a foundational reboot that dragged a reluctant, medieval Church into the glorious light of modern progressivism. The progressive wing of the Church has weaponized the Council's documents to construct a confusing, distorted Church on the ashes of the old. But their revolution possesses a fatal, architectural flaw. In their haste to remake the Church in the image of the secular world, the architects of this modern experiment forgot a fundamental rule of Catholic theology. By explicitly, repeatedly, and formally defining the Second Vatican Council as a strictly pastoral council, the Popes of the mid-twentieth century unwittingly revealed the ultimate proof of divine intervention. The Holy …More
Church authorities are examining a possible Eucharistic miracle after a Host placed in water reportedly failed to dissolve and subsequently developed reddish stains that “could be blood”, the Cathedral Parish of El Niño Dios in Cuilapa, Guatemala, has announced on August 22. The parish is the cathedral of the Diocese of Santa Rosa de Lima. The incident began on July 30, during a Missionary Eucharistic Week. A priest was celebrating the Eucharist at a private school when he noticed that a teenage student, after receiving Holy Communion, was removing the Host from his mouth. The priest intervened before the student could throw it to the ground. Following the procedure used in such cases, the priest placed the Host in a glass of water in the chapel of the parish house so that it could dissolve. When the chapel was cleaned the following Thursday, however, a parish worker found that the Host had not dissolved and noticed reddish stains which appeared as though they might be blood. A priest …More
