Viganò BLASTS Pope Leo over his abortion comments

Pope Leo’s claim that opposing abortion isn’t “fully pro-life” without also rejecting the death penalty and strict immigration laws has triggered fierce backlash.

Far from a past relic, Fatima stands as a living prophetic call, urging Catholics to respond before the warnings are fully realized. Sign up […]

Was Vatican II a valid ecumenical council?

In 1982, Pope Benedict XVI (then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) called some of the documents of the Second Vatican Council a 'counter-syllabus' to Pope Pius IX's and Pope St. Pius X's syllabi and encyclicals against the heresy of Modernism. How should we Catholics interpret such a statement?
