The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced on Monday that it was launching an investigation after a Catholic school in Long Beach, California, was broken into and vandalized.
“The @CivilRights will open an investigation into this awful crime,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said on X.
The Holy Innocents Catholic School was desecrated after its assembly hall, chapel and classrooms were broken into, school officials said.
Over the last 25 years, gunmen and gunwomen have launched around two dozen fatal attacks at Christian churches across the nation. As demonstrated by the invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota last month, even congregations that haven’t encountered an armed threat still face mounting hostility against their faith and parishioners.
There’s no denying houses of worship are targets for violence. There’s also no denying that death tolls in church shootings were kept at a minimum thanks to the heroic actions of good guys with guns like Jack Wilson, Caleb Engle, and Jeanne Assam.

[UPDATE] Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that religious organizations such as Yakima Union Gospel Mission are free to make hiring decisions based on an applicant’s alignment with the organization’s religious beliefs, affirming an injunction granted to Yakima Union Gospel Mission by a district court.
Yakima Union Gospel Mission is a Christian organization that helps needy people through its homeless shelter and many other charitable services, while sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In a 3-0 decision, the panel found that Yakima had more than a right to consider religion when hiring religious teachers, a legal doctrine known as the ministerial exception, but it also had a right to make all of its hiring decisions based on its religious beliefs due to the church autonomy doctrine.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed a San Diego auxiliary bishop who celebrated an “All are Welcome” LGBT “Pride” Mass – during which a drag queen activist was permitted to speak – as the new bishop of Monterey, California.
Bishop Ramón Bejarano was the celebrant of the July 13 Sunday Mass, which was organized by St. John’s “LGBTQ Ministry” and had the full backing of the Diocese of San Diego under Bishop Michael Pham, one of Pope Leo XIV’s first episcopal appointments.
“I apologize for the pain and distress that I and the Church have caused to many of you,” Bishop Bejarano reportedly said in a 2024 “All are Welcome Mass” sermon at the same parish. “I apologize for the stigmatization and trauma we have caused to others because we have told them that they are not valued and that they are not worthy of the love of God. There are many others out there who feel rejected and unvalued.”
Bejarano was also among the 68 American bishops who in 2021 signed a letter asking the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to end discussions on prohibiting then-President Joe Biden and other pro-abortion Catholic politicians from receiving Holy Communion.
While Europe refuses to fortify its borders against mass migration, European cities are now forced to put up security barriers, concrete blocks, and even tank traps to prevent Islamic terrorists from driving vehicles into Christmas markets.
Writing for The Spectator magazine (UK), Druin Burch noted recently how the Islamic “terror triumphed at the Christmas market” this festive season. A visitor to “Christmas markets in Berlin, London or Strasbourg” would see them “surrounded by steel posts, truck-proof planters, and one-way systems designed to stop SUVs achieving murderous velocities before hitting crash barriers,” he adds.

Why this matters for Egyptian history
The Second Intermediate Period, dated roughly 1782–1550 BCE, has long been understood as a time of political fragmentation, military innovation and shifting power. It saw the introduction of new technologies such as the horse-drawn chariot, multiple competing capitals, and weakened central authority. If this period lasted longer than previously thought, historians must rethink how quickly Egypt recovered from collapse, how long the Hyksos ruled, and how the early New Kingdom developed its military and administrative strength. Just as importantly, the revised dating helps resolve a decades-old problem in Mediterranean archaeology: how Egyptian history lines up with Minoan, Levantine and Aegean chronologies. By placing the Thera eruption firmly before Ahmose’s reign, the study removes one of the most persistent points of chronological tension between Egypt and its neighbours.
A conservative Christian woman from Alabama has been identified as one of the two fatalities from Saturday’s shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island that left at least nine others wounded.
Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore at Brown, was a parishioner at Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, where Rev. Craig Smalley made the announcement during his Sunday service.
“Some of you haven’t heard, a lot of you have heard … [about] the tragedy yesterday at Brown University, the shooting of a number of people,” Smalley said.. “Tragically, one of our parishioners, Ella Cook, was one of those who was killed yesterday.”
The Little Sisters of the Poor have again asked a federal appeals court late Friday to block a nationwide ruling that rejected their protection from the federal government’s contraceptive mandate. Represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and Clement Murphy, the Little Sisters have spent more than a decade in court fighting to defend their ministry from a federal mandate forcing them to either provide contraceptives in their healthcare plan or pay tens of millions of dollars in fines.
They have already prevailed twice at the Supreme Court, including a 2020 ruling that upheld the federal conscience rule shielding them from the mandate. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey have fought in court to strip the Little Sisters of that protection. Earlier this year, a federal district court sided with the states, forcing the Little Sisters back to federal appeals court yet again.
Pope Leo XIV has spoken warmly about the relationship between Muslims and Christians and downplaying fears of Islamization.
During his recent international trip to Turkey and Lebanon, the Pope gave a speech at an interfaith meeting held at Martyrs’ Square in Beirut.
“Dear friends, your presence here today, in this extraordinary place where minarets and bell towers stand side by side, yet both soar toward the heavens, testifies to the enduring faith of this land and the persistent dedication of its people to the one God,” Leo said, speaking about the relationship of Christianity and Islam in the country.
“Here in this beloved land,” the Pope continued, “may every bell toll, every adhān [Islamic call to prayer], every call to prayer blend into a single, soaring hymn – not only to glorify the merciful Creator of heaven and earth, but also to lift a heartfelt prayer for the divine gift of peace.”
In Overath, Germany, this year’s Christmas market is dead because of fears of Muslim violence. A terrible, unmistakable capitulation.

🇮🇪 Christmas is offending Muslims. Is this the real reason the Christmas market at Dublin Castle was cancelled and we no longer have Christmas Lights but winter lights ??
Muslims come to our countries and EXPECT US TO CHANGE FOR THEM. Do you think they would do the same ? https://t.co/m0AhG9DgOG— smeradubha (@smeradubha56778) November 19, 2025
Pope Leo has come out in support of a rare special message released by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in recent days that lamented a “climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement.”
Without mentioning U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration by name, 216 of 224 bishops voted in favour of releasing the message that condemned the “vilification” of migrants and expressed concerns over the fear and anxiety immigration raids have sown in communities, as well as the denial of pastoral care to migrants in detention centres.
Speaking to reporters late Tuesday as he left the papal country house south of Rome, Leo urged Catholics and all people of goodwill to listen to what they said.
“I think we have to look for ways of treating people humanely, treating people with the dignity that they have,” he said. “If people are in the United States illegally, there are ways to treat that. There are courts, there’s a system of justice.”
(LifeSiteNews) — Gunmen have raided a Catholic school in Nigeria and abducted over 50 children as the violence against Christians continues.
In the early hours of Friday morning, the armed attackers arrived at St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in Papiri, Niger State. According to a statement by the Diocese of Kontagora, which confirmed the attack, the assault happened “between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.” A security guard was shot and badly injured in the process.
The diocese “strongly condemned the attack and expressed deep concern for the safety of the kidnapped children and their families.”
According to Nigerian TV station Arise News, 52 schoolchildren were kidnapped by the attackers. The BBC reports that St. Mary’s is a mixed-sex boarding school.

Gunmen reportedly attacked a church in Nigeria, killing at least two people and kidnapping the pastor and some worshippers, according to Reuters, which cited police and witnesses.
The attack occurred on Tuesday evening in Eruku, a town in central Nigeria’s Kwara State. Reuters said it reviewed and verified a video from a local news outlet showing gunfire interrupting a service at Christ Apostolic Church and forcing parishioners to take cover. The outlet noted that in the video, armed men are seen entering and taking worshippers’ belongings as gunshots ring out.
AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the governor of Kwara State, Nigeria, reportedly asked for the immediate deployment of security operatives after the attack, Reuters reported citing the governor’s spokesperson.
Pope Leo XIV addressed bishops at the United Nations’ COP30 climate alarmism summit on Monday, lamenting not enough political leaders follow the Paris climate agreement and demanding more “political will” to stop alleged climate change.
Pope Leo offered remote remarks to bishops in the host city of Belém, Brazil, representing the Catholic church at COP30. The event, formally titled the “Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)”, occurs annually to bring together environmental activists, world leaders, and, increasingly, fossil fuel lobbyists to discuss global regulations on carbon emissions and other climate issues.
The most recent editions of the summit have become chaotic as far-left “green” activists demand the participating nations donate increasingly large amounts to the climate doom cause and vy for attention against representatives of key fossil fuel exporting countries and private companies.
The world’s most prolific polluting countries – India, China, and the United States – did not send their leaders to COP30 this year. President Donald Trump did not send any American representatives to the event, despite repeated pleas from leftist Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
COP30 began on November 10 this year and has already experienced a violent mob attack on the site of the conference as, last week, a mob of indigenous activists broke through security barriers and attacked those participating on site.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian and fierce anti-Nazi, a man so dangerous to the Nazi movement that he was one of the last people they killed lest he taste liberation, was a man of extraordinary moral courage. For Tucker Carlson, however, he was a failed Christian for having dared to stand up to Hitler (and, probably, for having rescued Jews).
One of the problems with being your own boss is that there’s no one around to stop you when you go too far. Another problem with being rich, famous, and your own boss is that the sycophants in your world will encourage you to go too far, since their entire being is dedicated to saying “yes,” in the hopes that they’ll benefit from your wealth and fame. Maybe that explains Tucker Carlson’s latest madness in attacking Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a bad Christian.
The fight is between two people who never married but whose daughter now is nearly a teen. And the coming decision by the Maine Supreme Court will determine if judges in that state can simply overturn the constitutional religious rights of parents.
The battle has been outlined by Liberty Counsel, which explained the judge’s trial court ruling in the dispute between mother and father is well into the extreme range, or beyond.
For example, the judge ruled that the custodial mother “is a fit parent EXCEPT for the fact that she is a Christian.”
The war erupted over the non-custodial father’s opposition to Christianity, specifically demanding to ban his daughter’s attendance at a Christian church.
But, based on the “counsel” to the court from a “Marxist former sociality professor,” the judge said the daughter “cannot associate with any of her church friends or any member of Calvary Chapel Portland.”
“If Ava meets a new friend outside of Calvary and that person begins attending Calvary, Ava must cut ties with that friend.”
Ava cannot attend ANY Christmas, Easter, or any other Christian event or celebration at ANY church, including any wedding, funeral, or even hospital visits with anyone associated with Calvary Chapel.”
Per new polling reported by Gallup, religion is no longer important to most Americans.
In response to the question “Is religion an important part of your daily life?” 49% said yes.
Ten years ago, in 2015, 66% responded affirmatively.
Gallup notes that this 17-point drop “ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.”
This departure from religion has partisan characteristics.
A federal judge smacked down a Texas law that ordered every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments, ruling the mandate unconstitutional and handing a win to the groups that sued to block it.
U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia said Senate Bill 10 trampled the Establishment Clause, which bars the government from endorsing religion. His order forces the districts named in the lawsuit to strip the displays by Dec. 1.
Plaintiff Lenee Bien-Willner, a Jewish parent, said she was “relieved” by the decision. “I am relieved that as a result of today’s ruling, my children, who are among a small number of Jewish children at their schools, will no longer be continually subjected to religious displays,” she said. “The government has no business interfering with parental decisions about matters of faith.”
The ruling covers the Comal, Georgetown, Conroe, Flour Bluff, Fort Worth, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Northwest, Azle, Rockwall, Lovejoy, Mansfield and McAllen districts. But the ACLU, the ACLU of Texas, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Freedom From Religion Foundation are urging all schools to ignore the state’s order.

BEN HARNWELL (HOST): “Okay, so to give an indication of just how the Catholic Church, the so called Catholic Church, we’re constantly in search here on the WarRoom for anything Catholic about the institutional Catholic Church in the United States to see the decline. That is Frank Walker.
You have this quite surprising story of a return to the church, but though all is not as it seems. What I suggest, Denver, is while Frank is talking, perhaps we could have some of the video footage just playing on in the background of this joyous occasion. And Frank will give us the lowdown.
So basically, this Gio Benitez, who’s an openly gay ABC News weekend anchor… yeah. James Martin, who’s, who, tell us the lowdown.”
The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago has filed a federal lawsuit against the city’s Board of Education, accusing the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) of religious discrimination. The district allegedly barred its students from participating in a student-teaching program because of the college’s faith-based hiring policies.
The suit, filed on November 4 by Alliance Defending Freedom, claims that CPS excluded Moody students from its Pre-Service Teaching Program when the college refused to sign agreements requiring compliance with the district’s nondiscrimination provisions. Those provisions prohibit employment discrimination based on religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
“As a condition of participation, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign agreements with employment nondiscrimination provisions that forbid Moody from employing only those who share and live out its faith,”
John-Henry Westen exposes how Pope Leo XIV is advancing Pope Francis’ progressive legacy, especially on LGBTQ inclusion. From high-profile meetings with activists like Fr. James Martin to appointments linked to homoerotic art, Westen warns that the Vatican is abandoning moral clarity. He contrasts this silence with past Church discipline, calling the shift a betrayal of truth. Framing the crisis as a spiritual battle, Westen urges Catholics to resist the false mercy being promoted as virtue.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has appealed the case of licensed clinical social worker Rod Theis to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, arguing that an Oregon school engaged in discrimination and violated his right to express his beliefs like other staffers.
Theis has worked with the InterMountain Service District in Oregon for 17 years. Theis is an education specialist, a position that requires him to travel to the 17 school districts that InterMountain serves. He administers standardized tests to students and evaluates their academic level and behavioral assessments to determine their needs.
The schools Theis works in provide him an office to perform the assessments, where his only interaction with students is administering the tests. His office is marked with a sign which reads “Staff Only”.
Bishop Julius Jia Zhiguo, a leader of China’s underground Catholic Church who endured decades of persecution under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has died at 90 years old. Yet his passing has drawn no official response from the Vatican. Bishop Jia, long targeted for his pastoral ministry, was repeatedly arrested by the Communist Party.
Starting in 1962, Bishop Jia endured multiple prison terms, ranging from periods of house arrest to as long as 15 years in confinement, for refusing to submit to the regime’s state-sanctioned church. His arrests marked significant stoppages in negotiations between Rome and China.
The United Workers Association (UWA) has received 16 grants totaling $760,000 from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) since 2004, including its most recent $25,000 grant for the 2024-2025 CCHD funding year.
In previous reports, we proved that UWA was involved in the push for same-sex “marriage” around 2011, and in 2020, we showed how UWA was fueling the flames of violence with its vicious rhetoric calling for the defunding of the police. All of that information will be provided at the end of this report, following these more recent discoveries.
