Synodality in Action: During the Holy Thursday liturgy, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, delegated the foot-washing ritual to lay men and women. The Eucharist was at the Jesuits' church. Bishop Martin participated in the ritual himself, but he also allowed members of the laity to perform much of the optional Mandatum.
Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.
Disgraceful. Yet, his mockery of this holy practice will only drive alert and thoughtful Catholics away from the Conciliarist religion back to the authentic Catholic religion offered exclusively by the SSPX.
White privilege doesn't exist coming from a white privileged person! LOL! Oh and I guess the fact that slavery and white privilege, which are in the blood of the US, suddenly goes away with affirmative action.
Latin Patriarch Leads Good Friday Prayers in Jerusalem | Shalom World The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, led Good Friday prayers at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Friday, marking the Passion of Christ at the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial. The service unfolded under tight security, reflecting the wider tensions in the region, as Christian leaders sought to maintain sacred traditions at one of Christianity’s holiest sites. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa also presided over the Veneration of the Holy Cross within the sacred precincts of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In a striking and somber departure from tradition, the faithful were absent, kept away by restrictions imposed by Israeli police in light of the ongoing war. Although Israel had earlier prevented the Latin Patriarch from celebrating Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the ban was later reversed following an international outcry. The Cardinal blessed the entire …Siwaju sii
Heiliges Land feiert im Schatten des Krieges und ohne Pilger Heiliges Land feiert im Schatten des Krieges und … Die Spannung lasse sich nicht ignorieren, predigte der Lateinische Patriarch von Jerusalem, Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, zum Auftakt des sogenannten Triduums, das den Bogen spannt vom letzten Abendmahl über die Kreuzigung Jesu bis zur Auferstehung, im verschlossenen Inneren der Grabeskirche. "Der Krieg hat diesen Ort in eine Zuflucht verwandelt, ein 'Innen', das von einem 'Außen' abgeschnitten ist, das von Angst und Anspannung belastet ist. Wir sind hier wie in einem Schoß des Friedens, während die Welt um uns herum zerrissen wird, und wir wünschten, wir könnten all dies ändern", so das Oberhaupt der Katholiken im Heiligen Land. Die Hoffnung vieler Menschen im Heiligen Land, dass zu den hohen Feiertagen Frieden einkehrt und der Krieg endet, wurde enttäuscht.
Girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever before — and the numbers are shocking. In the late 1800s, the average age was around 16–17. By the early 1900s it had dropped to 12.5–13. Today it’s down to about 11, with some Black and Hispanic girls showing signs as early as 8, 9, or even 6–7 years old — the earliest recorded in history. Patrick Bet-David asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary why this is happening. Makary pointed to the modern environment: constant exposure to substances and chemicals with estrogen-like binding properties (found even in river water) that partially activate estrogen receptors. He called it a “huge issue” and an existential threat to human development, noting the age has been dropping by about a week and a half every year for the last 30 years. He also mentioned that in Europe, where some of these exposures may be lower, puberty still starts later (14–15 in some cases), and that American medicine has largely treated this as a minor footnote rather than …Siwaju sii
Catholic Italian author Vittorio Messori, 84, died on Good Friday in Desenzano, Italy. One of his most influential works was The Ratzinger Report, which was based on an interview with Joseph Ratzinger conducted in 1984. The book evaluated the Church's condition following the Second Vatican Council. Messori also collaborated with Pope John Paul II on the book Crossing the Threshold of Hope. In it, the Pope wrote that Jesus Christ is the unique Saviour of humanity and that Christianity contains the fullness of revealed truth. Throughout his career, Messori was renowned for his loyalty to the Church, coupled with his intellectual independence. #newsKlrgxiolhj

Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman BREAKING: Iran's FM Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz: It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman. The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran. For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely. Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries. x.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/2039345578287550503
Four days ago, Pope Leo XIV praised Christian-Muslim “dialogue” during Wednesday’s meeting with the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa. On Palm Sunday, dozens of Christians were slaughtered in Northern Nigeria.
"Christian-Muslim dialogue" - Yuck! There is no dialoguing with muslims. You might as well be dialing-a-dog! We should not be dialoguing with anyone, we should be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them and instructing them in the True Faith.
THE SHOCKING MEANING BEHIND THE VEIL TEARING AT JESUS’ DEATH Not what you think. Not even close. When Jesus died, Scripture says: “The veil of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.” (Matthew 27:51) Most people read this and think: “It means God opened heaven.” “It shows the Old Covenant ended.” “It symbolized access to God.” Yes, but that is only the surface. What happened in that moment was far more devastating…far more dramatic…and far more dangerous than most Catholics ever realize. Let’s enter the Temple and see what truly happened. 1. The Veil Was Not a Curtain, It Was a Wall of Separation The veil was not a light cloth. It was: 60 feet high 30 feet wide 4 inches thick Woven from blue, purple, and scarlet Embroidered with cherubim guarding the Presence So heavy that hundreds of priests were needed to carry it It represented the barrier between God and man, between holiness and sin, between life and death. Behind it was the Holy of Holies, the place no man could enter …Siwaju sii
Pope Leo leads Way of the Cross at the Colosseum| Shalom World News In a powerful and deeply symbolic gesture, Pope Leo added to this year’s Good Friday observance a living testimony of his own faith. At Rome’s Colosseum, he did more than preside— the 70-year-old pontiff carried the Cross himself through every station of the Via Crucis, marking a rare and historic departure from recent papal practice. This marks the first time in decades that a pope carried the cross to every station. His predecessors, Benedict XVI and John Paul II, bore the Cross only briefly, while Francis, in later years, watched from a distance due to frailty. As thousands gathered beneath the dark Roman sky, candlelight flickered against ancient stone, illuminating a scene both solemn and stirring. With each step, the Pope’s quiet endurance echoed the Passion itself—each movement heavy with prayer, each pause steeped in meaning. In that sacred silence, the act became more than remembrance. It became an encounter …Siwaju sii
