Pope Leo addressed the Jubilee of Eastern Churches yesterday with these words: The address first quoted Francis, but also John Paul II and several times Leo XIII. His Twitter account even posted about it: After this part of the address he rightly condemned the wars which bring great suffering to our Eastern brethren and all…
In another example of the culture co-opting and distorting something holy, DEI has become a popular acronym for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. And it’s no coincidence when we say this movement is not of God, for the Latin Dei means just that: of God. Even if the people who coined the acronym and push the…
In a recent post on her Substack newsletter, Sarah Cain made a statement that, although predictable and already common in such difficult times, always gives us pause for thought: “Pope Francis was the biggest impediment to my conversion. I know that I’m not alone in that.” Clearly, Cain is not the only one who has…
Villanova University is having a well-deserved moment with the election of Pope Leo XIV, its most notable graduate. Founded in 1842 by the Order of St. Augustine and dedicated to its motto of “Veritas, Unitas, Caritas”—truth, unity, and love—Villanova had historically been an ardent defender of the faith and zealous protector of the social and…
Soon after his election, Pope Leo XIV revealed why he chose his papal name, and he noted that the rise of artificial intelligence was on his mind: The new pope’s comments should signal to every Catholic: if you aren’t preparing for AI and how it will impact the world, you should be. It’s a cliché…

The first, in the ancient Roman Rite, took place on the Sunday before the Conclave began. The second, in the Novus Ordo Missae, took place on the Sunday…
As the cardinal proto-deacon concluded the announcement of the new pope, 69-year-old Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost stepped onto the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. He wore a white cassock, a white zucchetto, a red pellegrina, a red-and-gold stole, and a pectoral cross. He had chosen the name Leo XIV. Many were surprised by the election…
Congratulatory messages to Pope Leo XIV were issued by world leaders of Catholic and non-Catholic nations alike on his elevation to the Throne of St. Peter. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his “cordial congratulations,” saying, “I am confident that the constructive dialogue and cooperation between Russia and the Vatican will continue to flourish, grounded…
While the pro-abortion activists at the heretical organization Catholics for Choice continue to openly attack the Vatican and its status as a permanent observer at the United Nations, faithful Catholics finally have an ally with the Trump administration in the fight to obstruct the anti-life goals of the population-control zealots and gender ideologues at the…
