On 13 November, Leo XIV received the new Ghanaian Ambassador, Ben Batabe Assorow, in an audience. According to Graphic.com.gh, Leo XIV said that the Catholic Church does "not seek to proselytise but rather to promote the welfare, dignity and integral development of every human person through education, healthcare, social outreach and advocacy for justice and peace". Furthermore, the ambassador presented an invitation from Ghana's president for a papal visit to mark either the 70 anniversary of Ghana's independence on 6 March 2027 or the 150 anniversary of the Catholic Church's first establishment in Ghana in 2030. #newsYlfgagldwt
He spoke precisely and correctly. This is precisely the mission of the conciliar-synodal church, which he mistakenly identifies with the Catholic Church and in which he labors day and night for the aforementioned purposes.
EveryDayForLifeCanada.blogspot.com commented on the recent appointment of Father Susai Jesu as Archbishop of Keewatin-Le Pas, Canada: “He has not said a word to defend Mother Church against the lies regarding residential schools. He has also allowed Indigenous beliefs to be integrated with Catholic doctrine. This is scandalous as it suggests that there is little or no difference between Catholic teaching and Indigenous beliefs. One is permitting Eagle feathers to be part of the celebration of the Mass. Another is the 'Two-Spirited' term to describe gender and sexual identity. These ideas are contradictory to the Catholic faith.”
"Fr. Jesu will be useful in pushing the politically correct claim that mass graves have been found at residential schools. And the schools themselves, some run by the Oblate Fathers and the Grey Nuns, was an act of genocide. This is a lie. Residential schooling was a government program."
(LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Joseph Strickland, in a lengthy X post Friday, asked Pope Leo XIV and all of the bishops how much longer they’ll continue to serve two masters and “scandalize the little ones” by turning a blind eye to sin. In his November 14 post, the bishop emeritus of Tyler, Texas, questioned how long the bishops, the Vatican curia, and the Holy Father will continue to scandalize the faithful by their complacency in the celebration of irreverent and sacrilegious liturgies, welcoming same-sex “couples” into the Church without calling them to conversion, emphasizing welcoming migrants without addressing the effects of illegal immigration on native populations, and ultimately “halt between two masters.” (1 Kings 18:21) The bishop underscored that there are millstones ready to be distributed to Pope Leo a “truckload” for the Roman curia, and a “cargo load” for the vast majority of the world’s bishops who frequently scandalize the “little ones.” (Matthew 18:6) “How long …
This evening, Pope Leo XIV responded to journalists' questions outside the papal villa of Castel Gandolfo before returning to Rome. Asked what he was doing on his day off at Castel Gandolfo, he replied: "A bit of sport, a bit of reading, a bit of work. There are correspondences and phone calls every day, some of which are urgent. And then I play a bit of tennis and swim in the pool.” US Needs Boarders, BUT... On the subject of immigration, Pope Leo XIV supported the US bishops: "No one has said that the United States should have open borders. I think every country has the right to determine who enters, how and when. But when people are living good lives — many of them for 10, 15 or 20 years — and are then treated in an extremely disrespectful way, it is unfortunate that there has been some violence. I think the bishops have been very clear in what they said, and I would like to invite everyone in the United States to listen to them." "Danger for All People in Nigeria" Regarding the …More
St. Hugh of Lincoln - A medieval account of the miraculous healing of a knight at St. Hugh's tomb. Arx Publishing His feast is observed by Catholics on 17 November. After the death of Saint Hugh, bishop of Lincoln in AD 1200, his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral became a major pilgrimage site in England. The biography of Saint Hugh by Gerald of Wales includes numerous accounts of miraculous healings that took place at the tomb in the aftermath of the saint's death. The healing of Knight John Burdet's paralyzed arm, as featured in this excerpt, is one such account.
The computer that landed on the moon had less memory than a text message. If her code failed, three astronauts would die 240,000 miles from home. Her name was Margaret Hamilton, and in 1969, she was doing something almost no one understood: writing software that would navigate humanity to the moon and back. She was 32 years old, leading the Software Engineering Division at MIT, responsible for the Apollo Guidance Computer—a machine with 72 kilobytes of memory. To put that in perspective: a single photo on your phone today uses more memory than the entire computer that landed humans on the moon. Hamilton and her team were programming a machine less powerful than a modern calculator to perform one of the most complex tasks in human history. And they were doing it without any of the tools we take for granted today. No "undo" button. No helpful error messages. No Google to search for answers. Every line of code had to be perfect the first time. Because 240,000 miles from Earth, there would …More
Bishop Fernando Arêas Rifan, 75, was received on November 15 by Pope Leo XIV. He is the Apostolic Administrator of São João Maria Vianney, in Campos, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is committed to the Roman Rite. He is the only "official" Bishop of the Roman rite. On November 17, he described the 30-minute audience on dapostolica.org. He recounted to Leo XIV the history of his Administration, which originated with Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer of Campos (+1991), who had joined Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Bishop Rifan presented Leo XIV with some of his books, articles, and explanations: “I spoke about our theological and spiritual path, about how we emerged from a state of separation from the Church and how we came to understand the necessity of communion, in which we now find ourselves, thanks to God and to the Church.” Leo XIV asked him several questions about his position, which Monsignor Rifan answered "correctly", leaving the Pope "satisfied": "He realized that we are very different …More
A new wave of anti-Catholic violence struck Nigeria on November 17, when armed men attacked St. Stephen’s Parish in Kaduna State. They kidnapped parish priest Father Bobbo Paschal along with an unspecified number of parishioners. During the assault, the attackers also killed Gideon Markus, brother of Father Anthony Yero, according to the Archdiocese of Kaduna.
I think talks like this obfuscate the real intent of the sinking of the Olympic, not the Titanic. I find it hard to imagine these bankers were not aware of the intent of the ship owners. And the plug that it was a Jesuit who actually sunk the ship is also quite absurd!
And within the same time span we went from lifelong stable marriages with divorce seen as a scandal to rampant promiscuity and "same-sex" unions blessed by the modernist Vatican.
Pope Leo XIV on illegal immigration, after USCCB statement: “No one has said that the United States should have open borders. I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.” Continues that the statement issued by the US Bishops should be considered in full context with consideration of the dignity of the human person.
Asked about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, Pope Leo XIV says: “In Nigeria, in certain areas, there is certainly danger for Christians but for all people. Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered. There's a question of terrorism. There's a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, in control of the lands that they have. Unfortunately, many Christians have died and I think it's very important to seek a way - the government with all people - to promote authentic religious freedom [and] respect for all people.”
General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn The FBI wasn’t investigating “Russian collusion.” They were creating it. A cabal of corrupt bureaucrats turned their badges into weapons against a sitting President and the American people. They framed patriots, forged evidence, and lied under oath to protect their power. The same people who lied about Russia lied about lockdowns, the border, and the elections. They betrayed their oath, their country, and their souls. The truth will not be silenced.
