The president made the remarks during an event hosted by the Chatham House Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. “We tried direct and indirect dialogue and negotiations,” he said. “We reached good points, but Israel changed its mind at the last minute.” Al-Sharaa also said that Iranian intervention in Syria had "allowed the last regime to uproot the Syrian people,” adding …
I am relieved to hear that Lebanese Sunni Militias are blocking the entry of Al-Sharaa HTS forces into Lebanon. There are now some Christian and Druze towns defending their own also.
01.04.2026 PENDING CANONICAL ISSUES -10 FRENCH BISHOPS ASSEMBLY/CONFC. VIOLATE CANON LAW Pope Leo sent a message to the French bishops for their General Assembly and cited education, the liturgy etc, all which have to be in harmony with Vatican Council II, irrational, the Council interpreted with the irrational and not rational premise and inference, to produce a fake, liberal conclusion. In other words, implicit cases of LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2,GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II must all be seen as explicit, known and visible examples salvation outside the Catholic Church and so objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention any exceptions. So the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass would remain obsolete for Pope Leo and the French bishops. EDUCATION : So in schools, colleges and universities in France, they are not allowed to interpret Vatican Council II rationally i.e. LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3,…More
Nico Spuntoni corroborated reports that Cardinal Arthur Roche, 76, could be ousted as Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy and become the Patron of the Order of Malta. The position of "Patron" gained notoriety when Pope Francis appointed Cardinal Raymond Burke, 77, to it (2014–2017) in order to remove him as Prefect of the Apostolic Signature. The current patron is Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda SJ, 83. He was Francis’ trusted canon lawyer and the proponent of a reform that was not well received within the Order of Malta. He is also an enemy of Opus Dei. Spuntoni was the first journalist to report that Archbishop Paolo Rudelli, a pro-Abu-Dhabi-document prelate, would become the Substitute, second man, in the Vatican Secretary of State. The Grand Master of the Order of Malta, fra John Dunlap, is pushing for Cardinal Ghirlanda to be removed. He wants Cardinal Roche, who is close to Dunlap. News of Cardinal Roche’s probable dismissal was first reported by his enemy, the English journalist …More
Cardinal Cock-Roach should be simply bounced out of any position whatsoever! He is a pompous low-intelligent, self-important, fake-catholic pompous ass. The sooner he goes the better. What an absolute disaster along with the Francis he has been for the Church. Please God soon!
On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
When I look at this image, several things come to mind: 1. It contradicts the Creed, suffered died and was buried 2. It has the cart ahead of the horse - is this a Easter Resurrection or a swan dive into Hell ? 3. It presents CONFUSION, a continuation of the Francis Satanic Agenda on Palm Sunday
Messe du Mercredi Saint – Judas, le misérable. Station à Sainte-Marie-Majeure L’Église nous fait lire aujourd’hui, comme déjà au temps du pape saint Léon 1er (+461), la Passion selon saint Luc. Les antiennes, au lever et au coucher du soleil, nous parlent de saint Pierre. L’Église rappelle, en ce jour, comme d’ailleurs chaque mercredi, la trahison de Judas. Le matin, nous chantons : « Simon, tu dors ? Ne peux-tu pas veiller une heure avec moi ? » (Laudes — ces paroles conviennent bien à cette heure matinale). Le soir, nous chantons : « La servante dit à Pierre : Assurément tu es l’un d’entre eux, car ton langage même te fait reconnaître ». La Messe (In nomine). L’église de station est aujourd’hui Sainte-Marie Majeure, une des plus grandes églises de Rome. Cette circonstance et le fait que la messe a trois leçons nous prouvent que c’est une messe très ancienne. L’église de station a-t-elle exercé une influence sur le choix des leçons ? Saint Luc, l’évangéliste de la …
AI generator by Giulio Meotti Zero political outrage, zero clerical mobilization, and zero digital uproar for the Christians killed in Nigeria on Palm Sunday. Where are the fiery sermons, the hashtags, and the worldwide denunciations? The Kotel, holiest place for Jews in Jerusalem, the closest point to what remains of the Temple, always crowded, day and night, has been empty for a month. Empty because of the war and Iranian missiles. But it seems that an antisemitic missile is not a missile, but a message of peace. Thus, Israel closing the Church of Sepulchre to Cardinal Pizzaballa out of fear of Iranian attacks caused more noise and scandal than the Iranian missile that fell near the Sepulchre a few days earlier. Antisemitism truly seems to be the socialism of fools (including Christian ones). In the end, Prime Minister Netanyahu intervened to guarantee Pizzaballa safe passage to the Sepulchre for prayer and Mass. Case closed? Not so fast. 350,000 posts in 10 hours about the cardinal’s …
Pope Leo XIV will wash the feet of 12 priests of Rome, during Maundy Thursday Mass. Eleven of them are priests he ordained last year, & the 12th is spiritual director of Rome's Major Seminary. Thus he changes from Pope Francis' 2016 break with tradition, when he started washing women's feet
Conspiracy comes in focus. Even if these operations were not unified, not bringing them to light basically incriminates those blocking this from coming out of those same crimes. As our Lord states in Matthew 23:31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …More
There is nothing left. Burnout, an empty vessel, like empty churches. We have become what was worst within us. Casting out God, we kill ourselves. Murdering children, we crucify Christ. The whips tearing His body apart are like pincers tearing the unborn. How far have we come? What have we become? We are not human, we are not animals — we have become beasts.
I reach out my hand to another being — hatred, mockery… It all hurts so much. I don't know if that's how you really feel. But if it is... GOD is all that matters. What He thinks of us. If we are good Christians, who cares what others think about us. It's GOD we must worry about. Pray for those who "try" to be hurtful and turn people against us. Lie and hate us. Name calling and ignoring our out reached hand in friendship. Who cares? They only hurt themselves. I get torn (but not so much now) asking GOD to take me from this evil world with so much evil and hateful people in it. Then I realize that GOD is not done with me. Or He would have taken me already. So I accept it and I am ok staying in this wicked evil world filled with all sorts of evil and bad people. I pray for those who come after me. Those who reject me and my out stretched hand. I don't pray enough for them. But I do when I can. GOD is all that matters. When we are hurt by others, that is a sign of pride. We think we are …More
On 30 March, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Paolo Rudelli as Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, making him the Vatican’s third most senior official. Born in Gazzaniga, Italy in 1970, Monsignor Rudelli was ordained to the priesthood in 1995. He studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University and joined the Vatican diplomatic service in 2001. After serving in nunciatures in Ecuador and Poland, he worked in the Secretariat of State before being appointed Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe from 2014 to 2019. In 2019, Pope Francis personally consecrated him as a bishop and appointed him as Apostolic Nuncio. He served as Nuncio to Zimbabwe (2020–2023) and to Colombia (2023–2026). As a senior Vatican diplomat, Monsignor Rudelli is accustomed to maintaining message discipline and avoiding polarising issues. "Follow Francis' Synodal Path!" Across Zimbabwe and Colombia, Nuncio Rudelli presents a vision of the Church in the Francis era. In a 2023 address to …More
"When Pope Francis proposes fraternity as the foundation of social friendship and the pursuit of the common good, we could say that he proposes fraternity as the foundation of a universal ethic," Archbishop Rudelli said.
