The journey begun in Assisi in 1986 is “first and foremost the path of prayer”, Pope Leo XIV said in his video message to the Assisi peace meeting on its 40th anniversary. Leo XIV offered a questionable definition of prayer as “a school of dialogue with God, with people and with all creatures”. His message is constructed largely through quotations from John Paul II, Francis and himself. He believes that the “spirit of Assisi” must help build peace [without Christ]. Leo XIV added: “The path of Assisi calls religious leaders to foster a climate of dialogue amongst the faithful and within society, so that the language of arrogance may give way to the language of peace, negotiation and understanding.” #newsQmfgpropmf

The Sisters of Charity have a median age of 87 years old. No one has joined the community since the 1990s. It's just a bunch of leftist elderly women in pants. It will cease to exist in 10-20 years.
So sad. My sister's Franciscan order is the same. She is 89, about the median age. They've had no one join for years now. Young women with a true vocation are joining orders like the Discalced Carmelites where they can truly serve God.

LGBTQ activist has a deer-in-headlights moment when Piers Morgan asks her to explain what “non-binary” actually means. When she can’t, she calls it “uncomfortably personal.” Then Riley Gaines finishes her off. PIERS MORGAN: “I just want to ask, what do you mean by non-binary?” ACTIVIST: “Um when I say I’m non-binary, I’m expressing my identity in a way that I have the right to do.” PIERS MORGAN: “What does that mean? There’s only one of you.” ACTIVIST: “Actually, they/them has been the collective they has been used to refer to individual people for centuries and still is. So, um, I mean, if you don’t understand basic grammar, that’s on you.” PIERS MORGAN: “I’ve got to be honest with you, I don’t understand the concept of what non-binary means… There’s one of you sitting here, and you look to me female. You’re a female?” ACTIVIST: “If you don’t understand what non-binary means…” PIERS MORGAN: “Are you a female?” ACTIVIST: “…then I’m not sure you’re in a position to lead a debate…” PIERS …More
il Genere(differente dal Sesso) non è una identità fissa o dato biologico ma una costruzione culturale appresa e rieterata nel tempo attraverso il linguaggio e i comportamenti, (performatività) dice Judith Batler nel saggio filosofico del 1990 Gender Trouble Il Genere viene prodotto attraverso la ripetizione costante di atti e gesti modi di parlare, di vestirsi , di muoversi Questi atti sono regolati da norme sociali rigide è proprio la ripetizione quotidiana e continua di questi atti (performatività) a creare lilluione della natura biologica del Genere Noi nasciamo dentro un liguaggio e delle norme sociali che ci precedono; e performando il Genere diveniamo riconsocibili come uomini o donne nella società
Vatican spokesman: TLM procession application not specific enough
Vatican says Summorum Pontificum organizers should have requested prayer inside St Peter's basilica instead of procession. The refusal to authorize the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage procession concerned only the procession itself, Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, told the Substack.com-account 'The Pillar' on October 26. The Secretariat of State’s rejection referred “exclusively to the procession, because that’s ordinarily not allowed, not even for dioceses that come in pilgrimage.” Bruni added: “If the organizers wanted to hold an [alternate] activity such as Eucharistic adoration or prayer, they should’ve made a specific request to that end.” However, the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage had included a procession every October since 2012. The Vatican Press Office has not exactly established a reputation for scrupulous regard for the truth. Picture: Una Voce Sevilla, #newsLucfjpygoo
For the second year running, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago wants to honour abortion politicians. In 2025, Senator Dick Durbin withdrew following protests by bishops. This year, Michael J. Sacks - who donated $600,000 to an Illinois initiative that provides abortion including at Planned Parenthood - is set to receive the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Nostra Aetate Award on 29 October. Cardinal Cupich has defended the decision. In a statement issued yesterday, he wrote: 'Simply put, honouring individuals who do not share core Catholic teachings recognises their dignity, leadership role, and service to their community, without implying an endorsement of every statement or stance they maintain.'
The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel in Pulligny, Meurthe-et-Moselle, northeastern France, faces demolition following a municipal safety order issued on August 26. Structural damage worsened and raised fears of collapse. Built in 1868 to designs by architect Léon Vautrin, the Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic chapel was financed by parish priest Abbé Joseph-Pierre Clément and blessed on June 24, 1868. Local authorities closed the surrounding area to traffic and announced plans to demolish the building, while expressing an intention to preserve its bells. However, heritage organization Urgences Patrimoine disputes the necessity of demolition. According to the group, a 2023 assessment by CAUE 54 had already recommended urgent conservation measures, but these were never implemented. No restoration estimate was commissioned before demolition was proposed. Urgences Patrimoine initiated in October a legal challenge, seeking to contest the safety order.
