By Matthew McDonald, National Catholic Register - Would you like to know how much Pope Leo XIV won by?... Cardinal-electors take an oath to maintain “absolute and perpetual secrecy” concerning “all matters directly or indirectly related” to the election of a pope, as required by Pope Benedict XVI’s February 2013 apostolic letter Normas Nonnullas, which tightened existing, already-tight secrecy rules... The penalty for violating the oath is severe: “automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See,” the document states — meaning only the pope can lift it.

By  Domenick Galatolo, TFP Student Action - Thanks be to God! Fr. James Martin, S.J.—widely known for promoting views that contradict Catholic teaching—did not speak at Holy Family University’s 2025 commencement ceremony. What seemed inevitable was stopped in its tracks, and TFP Student Action played a key role in this victory for moral values and the Catholic Faith... What Happened?... When Holy Family University in Newtown, Pennsylvania, announced that Fr. James Martin, S.J. would be receiving an honorary degree and delivering a keynote commencement address on May 17, faithful Catholics were stunned—and then mobilized.

By Jules Gomes, The Stream - Pope Leo XIV has chosen to stay silent in response to the first insurrection of his papacy: Scores of female preachers have defied church law by preaching at Mass in the first week of his tenure... “We are simply unstoppable!” the Catholic Women’s Association of Germany (KfD) declared in a statement, trumpeting the success of the sixth annual Women Preachers’ Day(s) event organized to coincide with the feasts of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Junia from April 29 to May 17... “Every year, more women participate in the Women Preachers’ Day,” said KfD’s spiritual director Ulrike Göken-Huismann.

By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing - We say that “prayer is conversation with God,” but that’s not strictly correct. Prayer to God is conversation with God. Prayer to a saint is conversation with a saint. So, rather, prayer is conversation. It gets its name from just one thing we can do in a conversation, which is to ask (Latin, precare)... Being an interlocutor in a conversation is hardly an incommunicable trait of divinity. Therefore, Protestants make a gross blunder when they accuse Catholics who pray to Mary of idolatry, simply because they converse with her. There is no reason why the only person in Heaven one can have “a personal relationship” with should be Jesus.
