Saint of the Day, Wednesday, June 14, 1967 Today it is a feast of great significance for us: Saint Elisha, prophet and father of the Carmelite Order, the successor of Saint Elias. It is also the feast of St. Basil the Great, bishop, confessor, and Doctor of the Church. Of him, the Martyrology says, “With irresistible energy, he defended the Church against the Aryans and Macedonians in the fourth century.” St. Elisha is of particular interest to us because, as you know, he was the successor of St. Elias. And Saint Elias, historically spoken, can be considered the first devotee of Our Lady. he devotee who certainly received a form of devotion to Our Lady, which was a prefigure and forerunner of the true devotion of St. Louis Grignion de Montfort, himself an Apostle of the Latter Times. As we know, Elias must come back in the latter times. Only then? No, he must go back also in the last days of human history to fight against the Antichrist. So we consider Elias at the same time a predecessor …More
Leo XIV Visits Monte Cassino: Today, Pope Leo XIV made a private pilgrimage to the Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, where he prayed at the tomb of St. Benedict, Patron Saint of Europe. Entrusting to the saint his plea for peace in regions torn by war and violence, the Pope joined the Benedictine community in prayer before sharing lunch with the monks.
Questa mattina Papa Leone ha visitato la comunità benedettina di Monte Cassino, dove ha pregato sulla tomba di San Benedetto, «affidandogli la sua supplica per la pace in quelle regioni del mondo segnate da spargimenti di sangue e conflitti». Monte Cassino è la casa madre dell’Ordine benedettino. Ufficio Stampa della Santa Sede
Who “rebelled” against the Vicar of Christ? Or “speaks openly and publicly” against the Holy Father? You must be thinking of gay couples-blessing Jim Martin or porn-writing Kissy.
@SonoftheChurch Do not impune the Great Saint by suggesting that He would consider any monk "faithful and holy" who formally rebels against the authority of the Vicar of Christ. Nor any other Benedictine who speaks openly and publicly against the Holy Father (or any Priest or Bishop). Not a chance.
Cardinal Pizzaballa Visited Roman Rite Monastery: On July 11–12, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, visited the Old Rite Benedictine monastery of San Benedetto in Monte in Norcia, Italy. In Norcia, he received the civic award International St. Benedict Prize for Peace. Reflecting on the war in Gaza, Cardinal Pizzaballa compared the region's future reconstruction to Norcia's recovery after the 2016 earthquake. During his visit, he joined the monks for the Roman Rite liturgy, encouraged their vocation of prayer, and toured the monastery's growing apostolates, including an educational apostolate, guesthouse, and brewery.
According to Congressmen Don Beyer and Brad Schneider, the bill would raise costs for American families and damage America’s “most vital trade relationships.”
Bistro on Roof of St. Peter's Basilica Ready to Open: A bistro on the roof of St. Peter's Basilica is ready to open, according to IlMessaggero.it. The new dining area, located beneath the basilica's dome, could open as early as September. The Vatican has maintained that the project is an expansion of the existing snack bar, where visitors can buy coffee, drinks and light snacks. Il Messaggero, however, reports that the completed facility includes a fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated bistro area opposite the current snack bar.
Più che bucatini all'amatriciana, penne pomodoro e... basilica. Con vista, piuttosto ampia, sulle polemiche. Torna a far discutere la decisione del Vaticano di aprire un punto di ristorazione sul tetto di San Pietro, il celeberrimo Cupolone, luogo simbolo non solo della città eterna ma anche della cristianità mondiale. ...E invece ad alzare la serranda, in alcuni dei locali che un tempo servivano per il ricovero dei materiali usati dagli addetti alla cura della basilica, dovrebbe invece essere un vero e proprio bistrot, destinato a essere paradiso di quei palati pronti a peccare di gola. L'occasione... golosa - Sfumata l'occasione di inaugurarlo durante il Giubileo, resterebbe quella dei 400 anni dall'apertura di San Pietro, datata novembre 1626. Un'occasione piuttosto golosa per sfoggiare il nuovo locale, che sempre in base alle informazioni raccolte dovrebbe sfruttare al meglio anche il grande terrazzamento in grado di offrire una spettacolare visuale su tutta Roma. Il tutto tra …More
A 150-year-old deconsecrated Catholic church in Sydney's CBD briefly reopened as an LGBTQIA+ nightclub and performance space called Divine Playhouse. Just days after its opening, the venue was forced to cancel all events and face eviction following massive public protests and landlord intervention over perceived religious mockery. The Building's Heritage Original Purpose: Built in 1868, the Victorian Gothic structure located on 408 Kent Street was originally established as St John's Catholic Church. Prior Use: It was deconsecrated in 1932, served as the long-time home of the famed Genesian Theatre, and even fostered the early career of director Baz Luhrmann. The Nightclub & Backlash The Concept: Nightlife organizer Kat Dopper reimagined the space as an inclusive, boundary-pushing creative arts space hosting cabarets, gospel choir-backed karaoke, and experimental art events. The Controversy: Christians and Catholic groups—such as The Prodigal Sons—were outraged by promotional materials …More

Religious Sisters Calls Listening to Fetal Heartbeat "Torture": Chilean Dominican sister Licarayén Torres has called a proposed law requiring women to listen to a fetal heartbeat before an abortion “torture.” Speaking in a social media video on July 15, she criticized the Chilean “Listen to His Heart” bill, saying: “Is it Christian, is it evangelical to make women go through this obligation that some lawmakers want to impose?”
Una religiosa chilena calificó de «tortura» el proyecto de ley que obligaría a las mujeres a escuchar el latido fetal antes de abortar, reabriendo el debate sobre el aborto en Chile. La iniciativa, impulsada por partidos de derecha, exige informar sobre la actividad cardíaca embrionaria y permitir escucharla antes del procedimiento, medida que ha generado fuerte controversia política y social.
Wearing a 'Planned Parenthood' stole while speaking at a Jewish synagogue, Presbyterian 'pastor' (PCUSA) Rebecca Todd Peters explains that she's dedicated the last decade of her life supporting abortion and creating pro-choice arguments and rhetoric.
Leo XIV is about to ACQUIT Father Rupnik: MessaInLatino.it reports that the Vatican's canonical trial of Fr. Marko Ivan Rupnik - who was accused by around three dozen (!) female victims of sexual and psychological abuse - has concluded with a favourable outcome for him. If confirmed, this would be further evidence of the deeply flawed Vatican justice system and against the role of Cardinal Tucho Fernández, who managed the trial and its personnel. The case has also long fuelled online speculation that Rupnik possessed compromising information about senior Vatican figures.
"Apprendiamo da voci insistenti e molto autorevoli che il processo penale, in corso in Vaticano, a carico di don Marko Ivan Rupnik si sarebbe concluso con un esito a lui favorevole."
Amid war, destruction and loss, Fr Gabriel Romanelli’s account of life at Gaza’s only Catholic parish offers a compelling testimony of faith, resilience and hope.
