From Pope Francis, the idea of synodality remains - that is, the notion that the Church is a process of listening, consultation and struggle, Austrian Jesuit Andreas Batlogg told Kirche-und-Leben.de on 17 April. He has written several books about Francis, including an early biography. Regarding the 2019 Amazon Synod, Father Batlogg said that Francis had come close to abolishing celibacy: "Then there was massive backlash. And he slowed down." Something similar happened with the Synod on Synodality, which concluded without a final document. The internal division within the Church under Francis has become "very deep": "There was open resistance, not just behind the scenes." With Leo XIV, however, there has been "more of a shift in tone than a break in substance", according to Fr Batlogg. Leo XIV presents himself as calmer and more controlled, with a greater focus on clarity and a more traditional demeanour: "However, these are initially matters of style."

18.04.2026 The SSPX maintains the separation of Church and State, a leftist concept. Since they use the New Theology created with the False Premise they have collegiality, with the liberals. With the New Theology they are liberals on Ecumenism and Inter-Religious Dialogue, like the pope and the cardinals and bishops. Cushingism is liberalism and schism. They cite Tradition but in Tradition there were no separation between state and Church. Presently Pope Leo is aligned with the leftist state. They interpret Vatican Council II as does Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium. EG mentions hypothetical cases as if they are visible and personally known people, in the present times saved outside the Catholic Church. Ad Gentes 7 is not mentioned and it is assumed that Vatican Council II has explicit exceptions for AG 7 and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is the common irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II. APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION EVANGELII GAUDIUM OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS …Zaidi
As part of Milan Art Week, an exhibition on homosexuality titled “Ritratto di famiglie” opened on April 14 at a public library in Milan. It purports to present “family stories” through photos and personal messages, but actually features homosexuals. The event includes workshops for children aged 5 to 10. The organization Pro Vita & Famiglia described the initiative as “ideological propaganda.”

Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Michele Morandi as the new Bishop of Faenza-Modigliana, an Italian diocese with 130,000 Catholics and 80 parishes. Born in Alfonsine, Italy, in 1976, he was ordained a priest in 2003 and has served as a parish priest, rector of the diocesan seminary and vicar general of the diocese. Closed Seminary Is "Excellent Starting Point" As rector of the seminary, he wrote in 2024 for the 70 anniversary of the large seminary building in Faenza. The seminarians now study in Bologna. The building is called the 'former seminary' and used as a library, a school, a workplace and an art space, and has become a "secular place". For Monsignor Morandi, this was an "excellent starting point", as from that moment on, things were "no longer tainted by clerical and collegial imagery or clouded by a curtain of incense." Identification with the Synodal Process Monsignor Morandi took part in the Italian Church’s national synodal assembly in Rome. In a diocesan article from 2025…Zaidi
Kardinali Perugia Gualtiero Basseti alisema katika mkutano na wanahabari kuwa anamshukuru Papa Francis ambaye ndiye alimtangaza kama Rais mpya wa Baraza la Maaskofu wa Italia "uzeeni mwake". Basseti tayari amepitisha umri wa Maaskofu kustaafu."kwa kweli hii ni ishara kuwa Papa Francis ana imani na uwezo wa walio wazee kuota", alisea, akiongeza kuwa moyoni mwake, anataka "kuwa mwenyewe". Kama linganisho, Mtakatifu Paulo aliandika katika kitabu cha Wagalatia 2:20: "Na sasanaishi, lakini si mimi tena, bali Kristu anaishi ndani yangu." Picha: Gualtiero Bassetti, #newsCnjpwdwfxy
During his visit to Cameroon on 16 April, Pope Leo XIV met with twelve representatives of local Islamic communities at the Apostolic Nunciature in Yaoundé. Several of the Muslim leaders had previously met the Pope in Rome in December 2025, suggesting an ongoing relationship.
On April 16, at the Apostolic Nunciature, Pope Leo XIV met with twelve leaders of local Islamic groups of Cameroon who are working with the Church on social justice projects.
Having already appointed several syncretic bishops, and just days after describing a mosque as a “divine, sacred space,” Leo XIV condemned syncretism in words. During the Eucharist in Bamenda, Cameroon, on 16 April, he cautioned against “falling into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature.”
Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon: “Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”
Bishop Antonio Santarsiero of Huacho, Peru, convened all his clergy last Tuesday in a parish hall and publicly identified his two alleged victims, reports InfoVaticana.com. Furthermore, he asked the priests to sign a document supporting his innocence, which carries no probative value. The bishop stepped aside last Friday as Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference while the case is investigated. The Church’s legal framework runs counter to the bishop’s actions. The motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi requires the protection and confidentiality of reports and forbids interference in investigations. The two alleged victims are a priest who lived with Santarsiero and a former seminarian. Both accuse him of homosexual misconduct and psychological manipulation.

Acts of the Apostles 5,34-42. A Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the Apostles to be put outside for a short time, and said to them, "Fellow children of Israel, be careful what you are about to do to these men. Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing. After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered. So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him. After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered …Zaidi
Apostelgeschichte 5,34-42. In jenen Tagen erhob sich im Hohen Rat ein Pharisäer namens Gamalial, ein beim ganzen Volk angesehener Gesetzeslehrer; er befahl, die Apostel für kurze Zeit hinausführen. Dann sagte er: Israeliten, überlegt euch gut, was ihr mit diesen Leuten tun wollt! Vor einiger Zeit nämlich trat Theudas auf und behauptete, er sei etwas Besonderes. Ihm schlossen sich etwa vierhundert Männer an. Aber er wurde getötet und sein ganzer Anhang wurde zerstreut und aufgerieben. Nach ihm trat in den Tagen der Volkszählung Judas, der Galiläer, auf; er brachte viel Volk hinter sich und verleitete es zum Aufruhr. Auch er kam um und alle seine Anhänger wurden zerstreut. Darum rate ich euch jetzt: Lasst von diesen Männern ab und gebt sie frei; denn wenn dieses Vorhaben oder dieses Werk von Menschen stammt, wird es zerstört werden; stammt es aber von Gott, so könnt ihr sie nicht vernichten; sonst werdet ihr noch als Kämpfer gegen Gott dastehen. Sie stimmten ihm zu, riefen die Apostel …Zaidi
