Leo XIV embraced and blessed 11-year-old Marie-Garance during his visit to Lourdes.
Marie-Garance, who lives with profound multiple disabilities, was adopted at 16 months by Clotilde and Nicolas Noël, a Catholic couple who already had six biological children.
The Noëls have adopted four children with disabilities. Clotilde describes her bond with Marie-Garance as extraordinarily close, calling her the “cornerstone of our family” and saying: “I had been searching for her for all eternity.”

Marie-Garance, la fillette que le pape Léon XIV avait bénie lors de sa visite en France, avait été placée en famille d’accueil avant d’être adoptée par une famille catholique. Ses parents avaient déjà six enfants biologiques lorsqu’ils ont accueilli chez eux trois autres enfants en situation de handicap, dont Marie-Garance, qui souffre de handicaps multiples et profonds.

The Mean Girls Presidency

Sept. 27, 2026
By Molly Jong-Fast
Ms. Jong-Fast is a contributing Opinion writer.
I was once a teenage girl, but not a very cool one. I never had the right vintage jeans. I never wore the right high-heeled Free Lance boots, the ones that all the cool girls had.
I think about this a lot while watching how Donald Trump runs the White House and the world alongside a high school clique of dumb jocks (Pete Hegseth!) and hot cheerleaders (Natalie Harp!) and nerdy suck-ups (Mike Johnson!). My Queen Bee — my Regina George from “Mean Girls,” my Cher Horowitz from “Clueless” — wasn’t the president of the United States, but at the time she felt arbitrarily powerful, profoundly charismatic and definitely wealthier than I was. She bullied me about my weight and lack of style. She had her friends shun me, too.
My peers were rewarded with the social relevance that comes from pleasing the top of the food chain. Now, looking at …More

The words which will be used

The Mass will take on a new meaning.
Forgotten will be My Death on the Cross

Pope Leo at Lourdes: ‘The Church Must Have the Courage to Begin With Herself’ | SG News
Pope Leo XIV has delivered one of the strongest calls for repentance of his Apostolic Journey to France, telling the Catholic Church that true conversion must begin within herself. Speaking before an estimated 150,000 pilgrims at Lourdes on September 27, the Pope reflected on penance, conversion and the wounds caused by sin. His message came only hours before a scheduled private meeting with survivors of sexual abuse in the French Church. Pope Leo told the enormous congregation: “This call to conversion also concerns the Church herself as she makes her earthly journey. She must have the courage to begin with herself.” He continued: “In order to heal the deep wounds, infidelities and painful errors that have occurred within her, we must humbly place ourselves under the Lord’s purifying gaze.” The Holy Father did not explicitly mention the French abuse crisis during this section of the homily. But the …More

Reporting from Salzburg, Austria
Sept. 19, 2026
Although “The Sound of Music” draws thousands of tourists every year to Salzburg, the movie has never been one of the city’s favorite things.
For decades, many residents didn’t even know about the blockbuster musical that put their city on the map for global audiences. Those who did often dismissed it as kitsch.
A new museum, founded by the city government and opening Sunday, aims to bridge the gap between the musical and the true story of the von Trapps, a Salzburg family who became a successful singing group and fled Austria after it was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938.
“We want to attract a local public as well as tourists,” said Matthias Bergsmann, the curator of the Sound of Music Museum. “The local population might find the real story more interesting, while many fans of the musical are not even aware that there was a real family. We have to appeal to both groups.”
The museum is housed in the former coach-house …More

"At the End of the Santa Fe Trail" - the great old book which made Sister Blandina Segale's journal available to everyone, and which could be found in almost all public libraries, has inspired a film about her amazing encounters with Billy the Kid.

"All this didn't start with the current Israeli government, and it didn't begin on October 7th. Over time the methods have changed, the scale changed, but the direction remained. In the West Bank apartheid remains the central legal framework for understanding the Israeli regime and the crimes committed to maintain it", said Yuli Novak, B’Tselem’s Executive Director, at the launch of our new report The Elimination Project.
A checkpoint. A community forced from its land. A farmer unable to reach his fields. An economy pushed further into crisis. A journalist arrested. These may look like separate events. B’Tselem’s new report shows that they are interconnected parts of the same system.

Does the Sede Position Imply that the Gates of Hell Have Prevailed?

Yes

Instaurare Omnia in Christo

The sede's have said the gates of hell has prevailed. I know, I had it out with one who then threatened me. Just like the sick dimond brothers who are not even Priests. Let alone Benedictine Monks which I proved more than once. These are sick people who make up their own thing as they go along.
I watched as Peter came out of his chair to hit someone who contradicted him way back around 2005 or a couple of years later. Maybe 2007? They swore like a truck driver and they cunning. They had 20 years to perfect their game. It's said, it's not just the money they want. But fame! Well, thank GOD many left those evil doers taking many souls to hell with them.
There are others right here on GTV who also said the same thing. the gates of hell have prevailed.
CONTRADICTING OUR LORD! CALLING HIM A LIAR! THEY HAVE NO SHAME NOR MORALS. AND ANGER AND IMMENSE PRIDE FROM hell itself.

“Encounter” (Encontro) is a white-marble sculpture by Portuguese architect and artist Álvaro Siza Vieira, unveiled in the Vatican Gardens on September 24.
The anthropomorphic work depicts a slender, stylized figure positioned near an olive tree and facing the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was previously displayed as part of the Holy See Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale.
At the unveiling, Vatican Governor Sister Raffaella Petrini described it as an encounter between art, the Pope’s gardens, and the community. Open to individual interpretation, the sculpture is intended to evoke care for our “Common Home,” fraternity, peace, and a “culture of encounter.”

New sculpture installed in Vatican gardens: My first associations are a giant outdoor Wi-Fi router, a solar-powered parking meter, a minimalist surveillance camera, a patio table growing out of a bollard, or an unfinished Starlink terminal for the Vatican.
