Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher BILL GATES/BOURLA TRIAL: “These injections are a BIOLOGICAL WEAPON.” “COVID-19 injections are LETHAL.” “The global deployment of this biological weapon can only take place through the UNLAWFUL deception of the public on a global scale.” “The defendants [including Bill Gates and Albert Bourla] are implementers of the ‘COVID-19: The Great Reset’ project and are GUILTY of this deception; they are therefore being sued individually in these proceedings.”

A Vatican source has denied media reports that Pope Leo XIV will undergo immunotherapy. The denial follows a report published by Brazil’s GloboNews on October 23. It claimed that the Pope would receive pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The denial was reported on Sunday by the Rome-based Catholic news agency I.MEDIA and the Italian news agency Adnkronos, both citing unnamed Vatican sources. #newsFtvwkchrit

FIRST LADY TRUMP: "They are starting this ceasefire on the October 27th and I hope everything goes as it's planned...we talked, we signed the agreements."

Leo XIV-appointed, divorced Prefetessa for Media calls her appointment “bizarre”. Montserrat Alvarado, 39, is the first American, the first woman and the youngest prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, she told EWTN in an interview broadcast on October 23. She added, unprompted: “I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre.” Alvarado spoke about annulment almost as if it were a Church-sanctioned divorce: “I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do.” A bizarre remark from her: “I don't think that's why I was chosen.”
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."

Pilgrims gathered under a large tent at Maison Saint-Ignace for four Masses. The day also included Stations of the Cross on the Espélugues hillside and individual prayers at the Grotto of Massabielle, as the faithful continued their pilgrimage despite the restrictions.

Lazarus Peter Kalamation.com Father Gnocchi in the company of mutilated children The dramatic experience of the retreat from Russia, lived as military ordinariate always on the front, matured in Gnocchi the idea and the focus of his charitable mission; assisting the victims of war, in search of redemption for their "innocent suffering". In 1945, he was nominated as director of the Istituto Grandi Invalidi (Institute of Registered Invalids) of Arosio, thus accepting the first orphans and adults disabled by the war. In 1948, he founded the "Fondazione Pro Infanzia Mutilata" ("Foundation For Mutilated Infants"), acknowledged in the next year with a decree by the President of Italy. The same year, the Italian Prime MinisterAlcide De Gasperi nominated Gnocchi as adviser to the Presidency of the Council for the mutilated by the war. In 1951, the foundation was dissolved, and all its goods and structure were donated to the newly created Fondazione Pro Juventute (Juvenile Foundation).

No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn. Edward Pentin reports on X.com that organisers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were not offered an alternative date to celebrate Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. He added that the Vatican’s August 7 letter simply stated that the basilica was unavailable, without mentioning any conflicting events. In recent days, it has been argued that the Franciscan anniversary celebrations in St Peter's basilica had been planned for years. @Michael Haynes wrote that the specific event at the Altar of the Chair was announced only in September, after the pilgrimage’s request for Mass had been refused in August. As for the prohibited procession, customary security restrictions have been cited as an excuse. Yet Haynes reports that permission to process into the Vatican had already been granted in April, only to be withdrawn the day before the pilgrimage. #newsUhvemzsmjm
A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc

What happened to working out salvation in fear and trembling. What happened to dying to oneself what happened to with all your heart soul mind and strength? There is nothing small or little about any of this. This is not a little way. This is the only way ,anything else sounds very Novus Ordo.
