Pope Leo: “Artificial intelligence has certainly opened up new horizons for creativity, but it also raises serious concerns about its possible repercussions on humanity’s openness to truth and beauty, and capacity for wonder and contemplation.”
The Vatican announced the episcopal consecration of Monsignor Francesco Li Jianlin as the new bishop of the Prefecture of Xinxiang in Henan, China, on December 5. The liturgy was held at the church of Weihui and celebrated by Bishop Li Shan of Beijing. He heads the state-controlled Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. Li Jianlin is the second bishop elected during the papal interregnum following the death of Pope Francis. The appointment was formally approved by Pope Leo XIV on August 11. It comes with the acceptance of the “resignation” of the underground bishop Giuseppe Zhang Weizhu of Xinxiang. Loyal Catholic Bishop Erased from Memory The official Chinese report made no mention of papal approval and omitted any reference to Bishop Zhang Weizhu. Appointed in 1991, he was never recognized by Beijing. For decades he faced arrests, restrictions, and suppression because he refused to join the Patriotic Association. One notable episode occurred in 2021, when police dismantled a clandestine …More
Cardinal Martini supported homosexual acts: Alfonso Signorini, 61, an Italian television host and former teacher in a Jesuit school, recounted on Che Tempo Che Fa on November 30 that his first disclosure of “being homosexual” was made to Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini (+2012), then Archbishop of Milan. Martini visited the school monthly where Signorini taught to deliver a lectio magistralis. Signorini wrote requesting a private meeting and, once received, told the cardinal he was homosexual. Martini listened in silence and then replied: “Does it matter? When we go to Heaven, the Lord will only ask how much we have loved.”
Alfonso Signorini, ospite a Che Tempo Che Fa, racconta il suo coming out legato al rapporto con il Cardinal Martini. In quegli anni insegnava dai gesuiti e viveva un forte conflitto interiore. Trovò il coraggio di scrivere a Martini e incontrarlo: fu lì che fece per la prima volta coming out. Dopo un lungo silenzio di dieci secondi, il Cardinale gli disse semplicemente: «E che importa? Quando andremo in cielo, il Signore ci chiederà solo quanto abbiamo amato». Un momento che per Signorini dimostra quanto Martini fosse realmente accogliente.

Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal INDIANA MOVES TO IMPEACH "ROGUE" JUDGES & PROSECUTORS: FINALLY, REAL TEETH FOR PUBLIC SAFETY Indiana Rep. Andrew Ireland filed a proposed constitutional amendment to let the state legislature impeach judges and prosecutors who go soft on violent offenders. Repeat killers or rapists get slaps on the wrist, and now lawmakers could boot the enablers out the door. The push? It's aimed square at spots like Marion County, where critics say DA Ryan Mears has let folks with rap sheets, like the IndyGo bus arsonist, walk free, spiking fear in neighborhoods. Ireland's bill would expand impeachment beyond just "high crimes" to straight-up failure to enforce laws that protect innocents, needing approval in 2 legislative sessions before hitting voters. This is the accountability people've been screaming for. Soft-on-crime benchwarmers hide behind "discretion," but when their leniency endangers families, it's not justice, it's negligence. The U.S. would be in the vanguard of …More

While wars are being made and helping others to start or participate in wars. This man is bringing joy to disabled children in Russia. Visiting Orphans and hospitals, disabled Vets and the elderly. He is all over Russia deeply involved with everyone in Russia that he can be. This young man had a wish come true when President Putin chose a card with his wish on it. He was invited to the Kremlin to have tea and cookies along with his brother and father. Then he was taken up into a helicopter with his brother, I believe over St. Petersburg Fulfilling his wish. That was back in 2017. He has a rare bone disease which I forgot the name of. He is now a young man. Late teens early 20's.
Can you imagine if we could have a President Like Putin? Who actually loves and cares for his people. The things I see, the places he goes to just to meet and talk to children and citizens is unreal. I seriously don't understand how he does it. Even if he doesn't take a vacation every month like most. I can't imagine how he does all he does. I guess it's for his deep love for his people and country that pushes him.
While some presidents constantly take vacations and every Sunday take the day off to golf and relax. President Putin took one vacation camping in Siberia! No fancy hotels with large comfortable beds. Just a small cabin and a cot. No waiters or servants serving him. And no fancy restaurants. He went fishing and cooked his own catch. Picked and ate wild mushrooms and collected rare herbs. and went hiking. That is what he called a vacation! Ask anyone in Russia and they will tell you. He doesn't take vacations (except the one I posted) and even works on his birthday. Putin on vacation in Siberia
thebusinessmagnets Japanese ice cream company Akagi Nyugyo raised the price of its popular GariGari-kun bars from 60 yen to 70 yen, about 9 cents, for the first time in 25 years. To announce this, the company aired a televised commercial featuring executives and staff bowing in apology. This unusual public apology reflects Japanese business culture, where maintaining trust and showing humility to customers is highly valued. The commercial went viral, showing how even a small price increase can become a major social event when combined with cultural expectations and media coverage.
The Tiara is Back: Images circulating online, including a growing wave of memes, show Pope Leo XIV and the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria, Theodoros II, during an ecumenical liturgy on 29 November in Cathedral St George. Leo XIV is wearing his white zucchetto, while the schismatic Patriarch Theodoros II is using a tiara.
Hell is real, and when the temptations of sin prove to be more forceful than our love for God, a salutary fear can help us stay on the straight road to life.

Seems to me that The Blessed Mother was not going to wait around forever for a Pope to do true Consecration. Russia already loves The Blessed Mother and why this Sanctuary was welcomed. She "has" been setting Russia up for the Consecration starting with President Putin who has taught Russians to love all and respect all. Building or rebuilding at least 30,000 Church's. Bringing the people back to GOD and giving them peace and love for their motherland. Giving our Catholic Church back to us in Moscow on Red Square. Inviting more persecuted Traditional Catholics to Russia and also protecting them as he does anyone else in Russia. There is no disrespect in Russia towards religions.
