12 Italian bishops to lead or attend pro-LGBT vigils, national synod doc referenced in support

Right from the abyss of hell!!

Will faithful Catholics obey these false, demonic "bishops", or will they stand up for the Faith of our Fathers as presented by Our Lord to His Apostles -- all suffering martyrdom -- with the obvious possibility that we will suffer a red martyrdom, here, in the U.S.?

From lifesitenews.com, and written by Gaetano Masciullo Fri May 8, 2026 - 11:39 am EDT: 12 Italian bishops to lead or attend pro-LGBT vigils, national synod doc referenced in support - LifeSite

"ROME (LifeSiteNews) — Twelve Italian bishops are scheduled to lead or attend LGBT-themed prayer vigils in May and June this year, with at least 23 dioceses involved nationwide.

The number of Italian Catholic bishops participating in prayer vigils, organized against so-called “homophobia,” has more than doubled compared to 2025, according to data published on May 8 by Italian outlet La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana. The events are often taking place inside Catholic churches and with support from dioceses or Catholic associations.

Italian LGBT lobby “La Tenda di Gionata” listed 47 vigils and related events. Twelve bishops are either presiding over or publicly attending them, compared to five bishops the previous year. The vigils are commonly described as initiatives “for overcoming homo-trans-bi-phobia.”

Among the prelates already confirmed are Bishop Enrico Solmi of Parma, who presided over a May 5 prayer vigil; Bishop Antonio Napolioni of Cremona, scheduled to lead a vigil on May 8; Archbishop Gherardo Gambelli of Florence, who is expected to preside over a diocesan vigil on May 21; and Bishop Andrea Andreozzi of Fano together with Archbishop Sandro Salvucci of Pesaro, both participating in a May 29 event.

Seven bishops are participating for the first time compared to 2025, including Bishop Antonio Cipolla of Padua, Bishop Nicolò Anselmi of Rimini, Archbishop Erio Castellucci of Modena, Bishop Gero Marino of Savona, Bishop Domenico Pompili of Verona, Archbishop Giuseppe Satriano of Bari-Bitonto, and Bishop Livio Corazza of Forlì.

“The vigils are a concrete expression of faith to break the wall of silence and indifference,” the Archdiocese of Bari-Bitonto stated in an announcement published ahead of its May 11 prayer service at the Church of San Francesco d’Assisi in Bari.

The Archdiocese of Bari said also that the initiative was organized by a newly established “Diocesan Coordination for an Inclusive Pastoral Ministry,” together with Christian associations from different denominations, bringing an ecumenical dimension to the event.

The same announcement highlighted that the vigils began in Florence in 2007 within a local pro-LGBT Christian group and later expanded internationally among Christians of different denominations.

In addition to the dioceses whose bishops are directly participating, at least 11 other dioceses are involved in organizing, sponsoring, or supporting similar events, according to La Tenda di Gionata listings. These include Como, Milan, Bologna, Bergamo, Catania, Bolzano, and Albano Laziale.

In particular, the Diocese of Como referenced the synthesis document of the Italian Synodal Path as support for its involvement.

Indeed, the so‑called synodal document published on October 24, 2025, “Leaven of Peace and Hope,” effectively served as a trailblazer within the Italian Church for this kind of development. Among the proposals contained in that text – from a permanent working group within the Italian Bishops’ Conference on the role of women and support for theological research on the female diaconate, to yet another liturgical reform, and large‑scale restructuring of parishes and diocesan institutions – is the full adoption of LGBT terminology (“same‑sex affection,” “transgender”) and a call to support civil observances against so‑called homophobia and transphobia.

The document also recommended establishing inter‑diocesan teams tasked with developing educational programs on sexuality and gender identity aimed at minors.

The text also referred officially to the “recognition” of homosexual and transgender persons, thus anticipating the recent Synod Study Group No. 9 Report published by the Vatican according to which “sin, at its root, does not consist in the [same-sex] couple relationship.”

The developments in Italy come amid wider debate within the Catholic Church regarding pastoral approaches toward homosexual relationships and same-sex blessings. On May 7, Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich and Freising in a private audience at the Vatican. The meeting followed recent controversy surrounding guidelines introduced in the German archdiocese permitting formal blessings for couples “of all gender identities and sexual orientations.”

On May 6, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, confirmed that the Vatican had previously rejected formal German guidelines for blessings of homosexual and other “irregular unions” because they conflicted with the 2023 Vatican declaration Fiducia Supplicans. Fernández stated that the Vatican objected to any blessing that could appear to legitimize unions outside sacramental marriage, while maintaining that spontaneous and non-liturgical blessings remained permitted under the document.

The debate has continued since the publication of Fiducia Supplicans in December 2023. Several senior prelates, in particular bishops and cardinals from Africa and Asia (many of whom are progressive), have publicly criticized the document, stating that the proposal of blessings for “irregular unions” is “contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church” and warned that it could create doctrinal confusion among the faithful."

Top Abortion Group Shared Pro-Lifers’ Addresses, Photos Of Their Children With Biden DOJ!!!

 More proof that the Biden "administration" was made up of communist malefactors who hated Christ and those faithful who follow Him! 

This is what happens when one becomes an apostate (read: Christ hater), he becomes the worst enemy of Our Lord and His holy Church! 

And yet it was the now-deceased, Bergoglio, who held a private audience with Biden (and Pelosi at another time) and told those miscreants that they are Catholics in good standing, and to continue to receive the Holy Eucharist!  

As an aside, let's see how long it takes to declare Bergoglio a "saint"!

(Note that such nonsensical activity is already in motion!)

From lifesitenews.com, and written by Calvin Freiburger Thu May 7, 2026 - 3:45 pm EDT: Top abortion group shared pro-lifers’ addresses, photos of their children with Biden DOJ - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — The influential National Abortion Federation (NAF) put together dossiers on pro-life activists and organizations that contained sensitive information such as home addresses, a new report highlights.

On Wednesday, Live Action began a multi-part series exposing NAF’s activities, which recalls how, in 2021, the organization was caught seeking to hire “intelligence analysts” who would “conduct research and gather intelligence on anti-abortion individuals and activities,” purportedly to help “prevent and respond to incidents of violence and disruption at abortion clinics.”

Last month, a U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) report shed light on the results of that effort, including the extent of the information that NAF gathered and how it was shared with the federal government under former President Joe Biden.

“Abortion NGOs [non-government organizations such as NAF] routinely contacted CRT [Biden DOJ Civil Rights Division Task Force] about protests at clinics and possible, alleged FACE [Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances] Act violations across the country,” the report says. These NGOs “sent DOJ ‘security reports’ or ‘dossiers’ on the activities of the pro-life activists and their personal information. For example, in 2021, before an annual conference by a pro-life group, one pro-choice NGO sent the Task Force Director and the FBI a 137-page memorandum on the conference schedule, lodging, and multi-page dossiers on numerous ‘anti-choice individuals,’ including many of the pardoned defendants.”

Crucially, the report says, “[t]hese dossiers contained personally identifying information, such as addresses, photographs (including of spouses and minor children), names of associates and affiliated ministries, information about their upcoming travel plans or planned protests, and even drivers’ license numbers.”

NAF and other pro-abortion organizations “capitalized on their relationship with the Task Force to gain internal information and push targets for FACE Act enforcement,” the report adds, noting the Task Force director, Sanjay Patel, “was on texting terms” with NAF’s security team, which was considered an “MVP” at flagging protests for DOJ “attention, often in real-time, which usually result[ed] in an investigation/prosecution.” 

The politicization of justice was one of the defining controversies of the Biden years, from the prosecutions of pro-life activists and a “gender transition” whistleblower, to lax prosecution of pro-abortion violence, to another memo claiming that “Radical Traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology” is a potential motivator for “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”

In January 2023, a jury found Philadelphia pro-life activist Mark Houck not guilty after the Biden administration tried to make a federal case out of a local altercation with an out-of-control pro-abortion agitator. During his first week back in office in 2025, President Donald Trump pardoned a group of 23 pro-life activists who the Biden DOJ had jailed for peaceful protests at abortion facilities."

From [Father] Frank Pevone: Pray For The Supreme Court To Protect Babies From Abortion Pills!

From lifenews.com, and written by [Father] Frank Pavone | May 7, 2026 | 4:02PM | Washington, DC: Pray for the Supreme Court to Protect Babies From Abortion Pills - LifeNews.com


"For one beautiful but brief weekend, abortion cartels were prohibited from sending the deadly abortion drug mifepristone through the mail by order of a federal appeals court. Then Monday came and the U.S. Supreme Court gave both sides a week to bring forward more arguments. For the next few days, however, the mailing of the drugs resumes.

So all hope is not lost. Far from it.

Here’s the story in a nutshell. The people of Louisiana, in accordance with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, have decided to protect babies in the womb. That includes protecting them from these chemical killer drugs.

Please follow LifeNews on Rumble for the latest pro-life videos.

In 2023, a Louisiana resident named Rosalie Markezich was coerced into taking those abortion drugs her boyfriend was able to order online and have delivered through the mail. That could happen because of a federal rule the Biden Administration put in place saying such women do not have to see a doctor in person, and that the drugs could therefore be mailed, even into states that protect the unborn.

In October 2025, Louisiana filed a lawsuit in federal court to seek the reinstatement of the in-person dispensing requirement that was eliminated during the Biden administration.

A federal district court judge put the case on hold while the FDA completes its review of the safety of mifepristone. Louisiana appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Last Friday night, a three-judge panel issued the order to reinstate the in-person dispensing requirement for the drug now used in more than 60 percent of abortions. Two of those judges were appointed to the bench by President Trump.

On Saturday, Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro – drug companies whose only product is mifepristone – asked the Supreme Court to pause the order of the Fifth Circuit. Justice Samuel Alito handles emergency requests from the Fifth Circuit, and on Monday, he granted a one-week stay, which allowed the drug to be once again sent through the mail. Both sides have to respond back by Thursday and the stay will be lifted on Monday.

We don’t know how the Supreme Court will rule but the arguments of the Fifth Circuit in its opinion are very cogent and solid and I suspect the justices will see that, too. At the same time, I have full confidence in current leadership at HHS and the FDA to carry out a thorough and objective study of mifepristone that in the end will reveal what we already know: It is a highly destructive drug.

So there are a lot of moving pieces in this drama. We need to keep educating people about it, and I want to urge you to pray about it.

When you click this link, you will be letting me know you are committed to praying that the Supreme Court bring an end to the mailing of these drugs, and also that the efforts of the Trump Administration to expose their dangers leads to getting rid of them altogether.

And please pass this along to anyone else you know who may be interested."

Reporting From Nigeria: Nigerian Christian Funeral Attacked By Fulani Islamists

 "Adding insult to injury, they feel that they have no voice, that no one is listening. Meanwhile, the mainstream media, along with U.S. liberals and Democrats, continue claiming that there is no genocide against Christians in Nigeria."

From thegatewaypundit.com, and written by Antonio Graceffo May. 6, 2026 7:00 pm: Reporting from Nigeria: Nigerian Christian Funeral Attacked by Fulani Islamists | The Gateway Pundit | by Antonio Graceffo

"On the night of April 5, a Christian village called Nding, located in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Nigeria, came under attack by Fulani extremists. Often, before these attacks occur, Wi-Fi is cut, and the villagers have no way of warning one another or calling for help. However, on this evening, a man from a neighboring village witnessed the attack in progress and was able to post about it on social media. His message ended with: “We are posting this as it is happening, but unfortunately, it may take the security forces hours to reach the community. I pray everyone is safe!!!”

This is a common complaint among Christians in Nigeria. They say that when they come under attack, if they are able to get a message to the police or military, help does not arrive until after the terrorists have left. In some cases, they do not arrive until the next day. There have been instances where the community watch fought back against the Fulani. When the authorities arrived, they disarmed or arrested the village defenders.

The next morning, a pastor named James sent me a message saying that eight people had been killed in the previous night’s attack, including members of an entire family.

He went on to say that, beyond the killings and kidnappings, which happen daily, the Fulani intentionally destroy Christian farms, either with their cows or with machetes. He recounted what had transpired in his area, Rakung, Jol, and Riyom Local Government Area, just over a week earlier, on April 26. According to Pastor James, “The Fulanis came in the night in the hundreds, cutting the farms belonging to the Christians… garden egg farms, maize farms, tomato farms, cabbage farms.”

“These people are using the farms and produce as the only sources of their livelihood…. Now they are denied all this?” With no crops, in a country where most people have no cash savings to speak of, the families would have nothing to eat. Pastor James went on to say, “The question still remains…. What are they going to rely on now? How will they pay for their immediate needs? Etc…” He then asked the same question that every Christian has asked since I arrived in the country: “How do you expect them to survive?”

He concluded his message by begging, “God please come to our help.” He sent along video and photographic evidence of the destruction, but this type of verification was unnecessary since the families living in the village were already prepared to stand as witnesses if a court were willing to hear their cries.

A few hours later, Pastor James sent another urgent message, accompanied by a video: “This one just happened today again in the morning when the indigenous tribe, my own people (Berom), were in the burial ground trying to bury the eight people killed last night.” The Fulanis had apparently attacked the funeral.

Simultaneously, a report came from a different source saying that there was another attack on a Christian village.

Masara Kim, a local journalist who was covering the funeral, sent out a livestream video of himself running from the gunshots at the funeral. “I’m so freaking tired. I gotta take another rest, not used to running these long distances,” he said, out of breath and clearly distraught. “And now I just did it, climbing uphill with serious gunfire.” Shots could be heard in the distance at the bottom of the hill behind him. “You can hear it in my background, still incoming.”

Christian villages have largely proved to be easy targets for the Fulani Islamists because the villages are unarmed. Even villages that sit near a police station are not safe. One village I visited contains a police outpost just meters away from the homes of the victims. The village was attacked anyway, and the three policemen remained inside their building, emerging only once the attackers had withdrawn.

The village where the funeral took place apparently had some type of defense force. Kim said, “There’s a small unit of civilian responders, but I’m not sure any of them has made it out alive.” At least one was severely injured and had to be evacuated. Kim confirmed, “I saw one when he was ferried on a motorcycle. Obviously, after he was shot, I saw when he fell.”

Kim was right in the midst of the chaos. “It was like six, seven, to 800 meters from where I was taking cover with my friend here.” While they were sheltering, Kim told his friend, “Somebody’s been shot,” and less than 10 minutes later, they saw a motorcycle with three people, the injured victim in the center.

He shouted in pure anguish, “Oh God, it’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming, Jesus. It’s getting worse.”

This desperation has been expressed by every single Christian I have interviewed since coming to Nigeria. They are frightened. They are losing their livelihoods. Their lives cannot move forward and, worse, their lives can be lost at any moment. Adding insult to injury, they feel that they have no voice, that no one is listening. Meanwhile, the mainstream media, along with U.S. liberals and Democrats, continue claiming that there is no genocide against Christians in Nigeria."

BEWARE! The Following Article Is Truly Disturbing! Synod Report Suggests Homosexual ‘Relationships’ May Not Be Sinful!!

 WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING! THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS VERY DISTURBING AND MAY BE DIFFICULT TO TAKE...

This cannot be the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Our Lord, Jesus, on the Rock of St. Peter!

It must be something else, and whatever it is, it is not Catholic by any stretch of the imagination! 

It just can't be!

Heresy and outright lunacy are shown coming from Rome almost every day of the week...

Who are these people??

I put a "warning" at the heading of this article for obvious reasons... 

It is apparent to me that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for exactly what is being proposed in the new, synodal "church".

Absolute lunacy!

I fear that we are being set up for actual, formal sodomite "marriage" in the synodal "catholic church" in the not-too-distant future!

Please God, have mercy on us, and strengthen us for being exposed to this absolute filth and a "church" being run by homosexuals, Freemasons and communists!

From lifesitenews.com, and written by LifeSiteNews staff Tue May 5, 2026 - 12:08 pm EDT: Synod report suggests homosexual 'relationships' may not be sinful - LifeSite

(LifeSiteNews) — A report from the Vatican’s General Secretariat of the Synod published Tuesday suggests a reframing of homosexuality, endorsing testimony without qualification that “sin, at its root, does not consist in the (same-sex) couple relationship” but in “a lack of faith in a God who desires our fulfilment.”

The Vatican-commissioned Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality published its Final Report May 5, “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues.” Under the heading, “Taking a synodal approach to discernment: A proposal for implementation in local Churches,” the 32-page document relies on the testimonies of the “lived experience” of two individuals with same-sex attraction to “aid the promotion of pastoral discernment.”

Framing the two testimonies as “experiences of goodness” which constitute “successive stages of development in the individuals involved,” the document notes the protagonist of the first testimony’s purported “discovery that sin, at its root, does not consist in the (same-sex) couple relationship” following alleged “devastating effects of reparative therapies aimed at recovering heterosexuality.”

READ: Former homosexual prosecuted for describing conversion to Christianity acquitted by Maltese court

The document takes specific aim at Courage, a Catholic group established for the support of those with same-sex attraction who wish to live chastely and in accord with Church teaching. Citing a testimony describing “problematic membership” in the group, the report characterizes Courage’s approach as “reparative therapy” and condemns it for having “the effect of separating faith and sexuality.”

Later in the text, Study Group 9 presents marriage as an open question regarding same-sex “relationships” and states that solutions to these questions “cannot be anticipated with pre-established formulas.” Under the title “Possible pathways and questions for synodal discernment,” the group suggests that, “while listening to the Word of God lived in the Church,” it is “necessary to address with parrhesia the currently recurring question of whether one can speak of ‘marriage’ in relation to persons with same-sex attractions.”

Leaving the question open, the document asks whether homosexual “relationships” can be thought of as equal “to heterosexual conjugal union,” despite “the evident impossibility of procreation.”

“Consequently, we must ask how the Christian community is called to interpret and address questions relating to the educational commitments toward children within family, ecclesial, and social life, in relation to the de facto unions between believers of the same sex,” the document states.

Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod, said the report “offers concrete tools for addressing the most difficult questions without fleeing from complexity: listening to those concerned, reading reality, and bringing together different forms of knowledge.”

“It is the synodal method applied to the most demanding situations,” Grech stated.

Regardless of the report, the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”

Israeli Army Damages Catholic Monastery And A School In Southern Lebanon!!

 The radical, Zionist, atheistic monsters of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) continue to wipe out homes, Christian (and that means Catholic!) churches, schools and physically attacking innocent Christian bystanders, including nuns and others wearing crosses or other Christian symbols. 

The time has long past for those being attacked by the IDF, to shoot back and defend themselves!

Sure, I know, the IDF will slaughter them with superior weapons and tactics, all the while the U.S. continues to support these maniacs with more and more weapons and ammunitions.

President Trump: have you lost your mind???  When will you stop these attacks on the Christians in the Holy Land???  Are you that weak of heart, mind and soul to let those killers get away with these horrendous crimes???

Wake up and do what you promised to do -- to protect "religious liberty" and innocent non-combatants!!!

From lifesitenews.com, and written by Patrick Delaney Mon May 4, 2026 - 7:03 pm EDT:  WATCH: Israeli army damages Catholic monastery and a school in southern Lebanon - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — The Israeli military struck and heavily damaged a convent belonging to the Greek Catholic Basilian Salvatorian Sisters in the southern Lebanese town of Yaroun, drawing sharp criticism from Christian organizations worldwide.

The facility, which supported local schools, had been evacuated earlier in the conflict, with its two resident religious sisters safely relocated.

The French Catholic charity L’Œuvre d’Orient, which is associated with the apostolate, denounced the bulldozer demolition as a “deliberate act,” arguing it forms part of a broader Israeli campaign of systematic destruction aimed at discouraging displaced residents from returning home.

Father Charbel Naddaf, priest of the Yaroun parish, confirmed Friday that Israel carried out the demolition of the convent and its associated school. He denounced this deliberate destruction as “a flagrant violation of international law,” according to L’Orient Today.

The Melkite Greek Catholic priest continued to explain that despite any of Israel’s statements with regard to this incident, its objective is to “empty the area of its inhabitants and prevent their return,” something the Israeli army continues to accomplish “in the absence of any deterrent.”

“They destroy houses and places of worship, and no one stops them,” the priest explained, demanding Lebanese authorities and the international community intervene.

Responding to the demolition was former congressional representative Margorie Taylor Greene, who implored in a Friday tweet posting the report, “American Christians speak out!!! America can’t be silent and must stop funding Israel to do such atrocities!!!”

“The Israeli army razed the convent and the Sisters of the Holy Savior school in Yaroun, Lebanon, yesterday. By what right? What does this have to do with disarming Hezbollah?” European Parliament member Nathalie Loiseau challenged.

After similar deliberate destructions of Catholic Church property by the Israeli army in Lebanon in 2024, including the filmed destruction of a previous monastery and a statue of St. George, Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop Ibrahim Mikail Ibrahim, metropolitan of Zahle and the Bekaa in Lebanon, condemned in a statement the “crime of destruction,” saying that “what happened is not a mere passing aggression, but a blatant and unacceptable violation of all human values and international law, as well as a direct attack on the educational and spiritual mission of the Church.”

The archbishop affirmed that “the destruction of this religious and educational place constitutes an aggravated crime against humanity and the land, and respects neither the sanctity of holy places nor that of scientific institutions.” He emphasized that the targeting of a monastery and a school equivalent to attacking “childhood, knowledge, and the hope for a better future.”

Israeli anti-Christian attacks escalating

LifeSiteNews has documented what appears to be a disturbing escalation in attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers against Christians, their clergy, and religious property across the Holy Land and Lebanon.

On April 19, a photograph surfaced on X and other social media outlets showing an Israeli soldier smashing the head of the statue of Jesus Christ with a sledgehammer. The image quickly went viral and sparked global outrage among Christians, including the Catholic bishops of the Holy Land, which issued an “unreserved condemnation” of the desecration. Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa stated that the act “constitutes a grave affront to the Christian faith and adds to other reported incidents of desecration of Christian symbols by IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon.”

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Jewish terrorists from illegal Israeli settlements have repeatedly terrorized the predominantly Christian town of Taybeh as well as other Palestinian communities. As has become a regular occurrence, masked settlers last July “stormed this Christian village … setting vehicles on fire, hurling rocks at homes, and spraying hateful graffiti on the walls.”

The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem described the armed intruders as being on horseback, spreading terror and torching holy sites while also destroying farmland.

Last month, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem also called Jewish settler destruction of their Church-owned lands and trees using an excavator “a ‘red line.’”

In Jerusalem, physical assaults and harassment have surged. Last week, video captured a “brutal assault on (a) Catholic nun” who was slammed to the ground and kicked by a Jewish settler terrorist named Yonah Schreiber near King David’s tomb.

Other reports document the common occurrence of Christian clergy and religious being spat on and harassed by Jewish terrorists in Jerusalem.

Such incidents have highlighted the persistent and even deadly aggressions from radical Jewish sects over land and security in the West Bank and Jerusalem, where Church properties have faced repeated pressures with Christians consistently warning their western co-religionists that radical Zionist movements, most often with government sanction, are seeking to drive them out of the Holy Land.

‘Israel is at war with the Catholic Church’

A Catholic priest who is a longtime resident in the city told LifeSiteNews in April that pressures against Christians have become increasingly more aggressive, frequent and violent over the last 10 to 15 years. Citing sources, he explained how the Israeli policy reflects an intentional effort “to limit church apostolic activity as much as possible without raising international alarm bells.”

In a recent monologue covering anti-Christian attacks, Tucker Carlson encouraged viewers to call Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and ask him, “Why in the world would you ever appropriate money to a government that is murdering Christians?”

For her part, Catholic journalist Christine Niles tweeted a question, asking, “Why are @realDonaldTrump and @VP allowing Israel to do this to Christians?”

And Catholic pro-life humanitarian leader Jason Jones simply observed that “Israel is at war with the Catholic Church.”
