The scene featured the Pope addressing hundreds of children beneath a giant inflatable sinking Titanic. The plastic 'bouncy castle' in the shape of the Titanic has been in use for several years.

Pope Leo XIV to the UN’s World Food Programme: “Your institution’s commitment resonates profoundly with the Catholic Church’s mission to uphold human dignity and to foster fraternity, rooted in the Gospel’s call to love our neighbor. Together, we share the urgent task of confronting hunger and malnutrition, while also tackling the underlying structural causes that sustain them. To meet this task effectively, we must examine the challenges before us, their underlying causes and the paths toward lasting solutions.” “Today, crises have evolved from isolated events into persistent realities, marked by prolonged conflicts, chronic food insecurity, economic volatility and growing climate vulnerabilities. This raises a fundamental question: what configuration of the global order is capable of producing, reproducing and, at times, normalizing such conditions? The issue is no longer limited to how to intervene; rather, it extends to understanding why the system constantly produces the very …More
22. June 2026 22. June 2026 06/22/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Anyone who thinks that banks lend out money entrusted to them by savers is mistaken. They create it out of thin air through simple accounting entries. How does this money creation work, and why does it result in ordinary citizens having less and less money at their disposal? As Henry Ford once said, “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Source. You should never work so much that you don’t have time to live. You only have to look around to see the masses who are busy making money. Our world is set up in such a way that you don’t have time to enjoy the things you’ve worked so hard for—after all, you have to earn money to pay the next set of bills. We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t even like. Sure, not everyone has those kinds of …

St. Louis IX, King. If God sends you suffering, receive it with humility, think that you have deserved it, and that He sends it for your salvation. If everything succeeds for you, do not then give yourself over to pride or to other misdeeds; for you would be abusing God’s benefits in order to offend Him. — St. Louis IX, King Saint Louis IX ruled France from 1226-1270 and is one of the most revered Catholic monarchs — a model of Christian kingship, justice, and piety. He went on two Crusades, promoted justice and charity in his realm, and was canonized in 1297. Saint Louis IX is shown crowned and robed in blue with fleur-de-lis (the symbol of French royalty) holding the Crown of Thorns on a red cushion, with rays of light emanating from it. St. Louis IX acquired the relic of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople and built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house it. (Late 19th century Dutch holy card)
Syriac Christians remember martyrs of Sayfo genocide | Shalom World News Over a century later, Syriac Christians in Syria and across the East gathered on June 15 to honor the martyrs of the Sayfo Genocide — the mass killings and displacement of Christians under the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The Syriac community of Damascus commemorated their ancestors with a Divine Liturgy at the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate of Saint George. Led by bishops, clergy, deacons, and hundreds of faithful, a solemn procession moved to Al-Qishla, accompanied by the Patriarchal Syriac Scout Band of Saint Ephrem. The remembrance concluded at the Garden of the Syriac Martyrs, where a central flame was lit and candles were raised as symbols of faith, memory, and enduring hope.
A Malicious Chapter in the History of American Justice June 21, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET nytimes.com/…chicago-broadwater-six-misconduct-mi… By David French Opinion Columnist An unusual tweet caught my eye last week. It was from Josh Gerstein, Politico’s senior legal affairs reporter, and it said this: “NEW: Trump admin takes rare step to quell controversy over prosecutorial misconduct in dropped criminal case against Chicago-area anti-ICE protesters. Feds won’t fight defense demand to pay bill for activists’ legal fees.” Here’s why it’s so notable. In our legal system, prosecutors rarely pay a criminal defendant’s legal fees, even when the government loses its case. Defendants tend to be reimbursed only when they can prove serious prosecutorial misconduct. It’s even rarer for prosecutors to agree to pay those fees. Experienced lawyers will read that tweet and know a single, simple truth. Something very bad went down in Illinois. Why, you might wonder, would I write about a criminal …More
