250 year ago today, the Continental Congress appointed 5 men to draft the Declaration of Independence. Today US bishops are consecrating our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Catholics believe that Christ is Lord not only of individuals, but also of communities and nations.

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." thecatholicthing.org/2026/05…

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.
