The college named after St. Joseph the Worker in Steubenville, Ohio, was founded by Jacob Imam, a former Muslim who converted to Catholicism. Imam, whose journey to the Catholic faith was deeply influenced by classical education, holds a master’s degree from the University of Oxford, where he served as president of the C.S. Lewis Society.
Please keep in your prayers a very good Dutch Bishop, +Rob Mutsaerts, who was injured in a serious car accident while returning from hearing confessions.
May Our Lady of Fatima, whose feast we celebrate tomorrow, intercede for him and bring swift healing. 🙏 https://t.co/dOEAQpOXa2
Father Gerald Murray, a canonist and priest of the Archdiocese of New York, said he found the synod report “horrific” and a “subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality.” He told EWTN’s @RaymondArroyo May 7 that he believes the synod office has become a “public relations arm” of a pressure group seeking to subvert Catholic teaching “on the immoral nature of homosexual activity.” @GeraldMurray8
In a written response published today at the @catholicthing he writes: "This Vatican-sponsored destructive subversion must come to an end now. Souls are endangered by the scandalous false teachings being propagated by the Synod. Pope Leo needs to strengthen the brethren in the Faith by putting an end to this poisonous betrayal of God’s truth." https://t.co/8CfDbrViES

The Pope should refrain from these weekly press scrums. It allows the media to set the tone and lead the witness. Most of Leo’s predecessors made the news- they didn’t react to it. In this scenario the Pope is cast as just another talking head- it diminishes his office. The media is wagging the dog and the Pope is playing along- being dragged into non-controversy controversies.
JUST IN: On Tuesday, the Vatican published the Final Report of the Synod on Synodality’s study group on “controversial doctrinal, pastoral & ethical questions,” prominently featuring two anonymous testimonies from openly homosexual men in “same-sex marriages.”
The decision was immediately praised by Fr. James Martin, SJ, as “a significant step forward in the Church’s relationship with the LGBTQ community.”
What neither the Vatican nor Fr. Martin has acknowledged, however, is that one of the testimonies appears to have been written by the man featured in a Dec. 2023 New York Times article receiving a blessing with his same-sex partner from the same Jesuit priest, just one day after the publication of Fiducia Supplicans.

Taking time out from the hustle and bustle of life in NYC for an hour of Adoration and Confession last night, with the heavenly singing of the Sisters of Life in a darkened St Patrick’s Cathedral. Yes, brothers and sisters, even in NYC…
God is so good.
« Aussi je veux dire ma vive inquiétude et ma tristesse profonde en apprenant l'annonce par la Fraternité sacerdotale Saint-Pie X, fondée par Mgr Lefebvre, de procéder à des ordinations épiscopales sans mandat pontifical. »
Today is Mardi Gras and the world indulges, and that’s okay! But remember that even the best feast leaves us looking for something more. Only Jesus can truly fill that space.
How will you put God back at the very center of your life? Lent starts tomorrow. Be ready.
