Archbishop Josef Grünwidl of Vienna, Austria, who was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on 17 October, would rather have parishes without priests than have the faithful drive distances to attend a Eucharist. He told the Austrian state broadcaster ORF (October 30): "I believe that we should not think of the Church in terms of priests, but in terms of parishes. We cannot say: there are fewer priests, so there must also be fewer parishes. My approach is different: we should ask ourselves what parishes need in order to remain alive locally – even if there is no priest present every Sunday. It's about empowering parishes to live independently. This includes having women and men who support and organize parish life, even if a priest is no longer regularly available as in the past."

The Museum of the Souls of Purgatory, Rome The Museo delle Anime del Purgatorio (Italian for Museum of the Souls of Purgatory) is a museum of Rome (Italy), in 12 Lungotevere Prati, within the vestry of the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio. In 1897 a fire burned a chapel of the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio. The priest Victor Jouët saw on the wall behind the altar the image of a human face bearing a sad and melancholy expression, impressed by the flames. He believed that the soul of a deceased man, condemned to Purgatory, had tried to get in contact with living people. This specific occurrence brought to the foundation of the museum. Victor Jouët decided to find other documents and statements about similar facts. The research proved to be more difficult than expected, nevertheless he searched out many materials, showing the following: the deceased people, compelled to pass a period in the afterlife reign of Purgatory in order to purify from their sins, tried to catch …More
The Church in Rome that hosts the Purgatory Museum & the mysterious face appearing in the fire In 1897, when a chapel burned in the middle of Rome, not far from the Vatican, a French chaplain made an interesting discovery. The fire had destroyed the chapel, but when Chaplain Victor Jouët rushed into the burned building, he saw the imprint of a human face on the sooty wall behind the altar. Father Jouët was certain: this image must have come from the soul of a deceased person who was trying to make contact to ask for prayers for the poor souls in Purgatory. ewtn
On 23 October, Andrea Gagliarducci commented on Pope Leo XIV’s speech to the World Meeting of Popular Movements. The main points are as follows: - Leo's remarks sounded very similar to those of his controversial predecessor. - All of the South American Pope’s key themes were present, including the idea that the centre can best be seen from the peripheries, the Church’s support for popular movements in their struggles for land, housing and jobs, and the exaltation of grassroots movements pursuing bottom-up solutions. - Leo XIV chose to address a unique South American audience, which some have summarised as 'the Social Forum brought to the Vatican'. - References to Christ are missing. - Leo XIV’s ‘civilisation of love’ seems to be particularly social rather than real. - His speech to popular movements has awakened those who see continuity between Pope Francis and Leo XIV. - Leo XIV continues to work within the same structure as his predecessor, using the same ghostwriters as Pope Francis. …More

Saint of the Day: Vigil of All Saints, October 31 Before the many liturgical changes which took place in recent times, Major feasts were preceded by vigils, which were penitential in nature, fasting and violet as a liturgical color. The Vigil of All Saints was a reminder to do penance and practice virtue in preparation for joining the ranks of the Saints. All Saints in Heaven, pray for us!

Why most Jews are SILENCED by the MEDIA “They stole land from the Palestinians and they stole identity from Jews.” In this remarkable conversation, Rabbi Elhanan Beck — a Palestinian-born rabbi from Stamford Hill, London — shares his powerful story and deep insights into the clear distinction between Judaism and Zionism.

@123jussi, john333, V.R.S. Yall are completely wrong. I had hoped that yall were knowledgeable and enlightened Catholics. I am very disappointed. See these 2 Communion in the Hand proofs… “Well, here again we know that until the ninth century communion was received in the hand, standing.”(Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger/ Pope Benedict XVI, “God is Near Us”, Ignatius Press, page 70). “As a scholar of the early Church, I was surprised to learn that the practice of communion in the hand is such a hotly debated topic; it came to my attention during the early days of the pandemic, when many dioceses required communicants to receive in this way. Whatever one thinks about the practice today and its reemergence after Vatican II, it is important that our conversation be grounded in an accurate picture of the history of this practice. Receiving communion in the hand was the common practice of the Church in both East and West for the first 800 years of Christianity, and it was certainly considered …More
Perhaps Prevost is no Bergoglio, as he is quiet and doesn’t insults catholics like Bergoglio did, but his fuits speaks volumes of whom he really is... a false prophet. Mother Miriam out of kindness, wont go that far, but Jesus told us about whoever claims to come of Him, but in reality is a false prophet, He says to look at their fruits. * The majority of Leo's appointments are pro gay and un-catholic minded. * He already was excommunicated by promoting his elevation to the papacy through various means. * He did betray our Lord by saying we don’t have the entire truth. * Pushing Francis apostasy and heresies on unsuspecting catholics. * Persecution and closure,through third parties, of the Latin Mass. * Promoting false deities. * Promoting false religions. * Promoting a false church (synodal), instead of the the one our Forefathers taught and even died for. * Promoting mother earth and climate change lunacy. * Promoting arianism to the entire world. * And on and on... Again, this is …More
Will You Enter the Narrow Gate to Heaven? The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of striving to enter through the narrow gate to heaven, highlighting the higher accountability of those who have been given the fullness of truth. While acknowledging human weakness and the inevitability of sin, the focus should be on living a life centered on God, striving to serve Him, and relying on His grace for salvation.
