With Jesus: The Story of Mary Co-redemptrix, No. 13: The Pope of Mary Co-redemptrix Pope St. John Paul II called Mary the "Co-redemptrix" on seven occasions and consistently taught the full doctrine of Mary's Coredemption. See how the great Marian teaching of John Paul the Great provides a papal corrective to the omissions found in the DDf's recent doctrinal note, Mater Populi Fidelis.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giancarlo Dellagiovanna, 64, as Apostolic Nuncio to El Salvador. This follows one of the more unusual diplomatic incidents of the past year. On 15 March 2025, Pope Francis had named Monsignor Dellagiovanna as Apostolic Nuncio to Burkina Faso. He was consecrated as a bishop by Cardinal Pietro Parolin in Rome on 25 April 2025. However, his tenure was unusually brief, lasting only five months. On 15 August 2025, his resignation from the Burkina Faso post was quietly accepted with the appointment of a successor. The resignation remains unexplained. According to the Italian blog Cielo e Roma, the move was allegedly due to health reasons. Dellagiovanna joined the Holy See’s diplomatic service in 2005. He served in the nunciatures of Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Italy, as well as in the Secretariat of State’s Section for General Affairs. In August 2019, AciStampa.com reported that he was Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s ghostwriter. #newsRwxvrvalew
Even stranger is that the Pope has imposed a coadjutor archbishop on Cardinal Nzapalainga, 59, the metropolitan archbishop of Bangui in the Central African Republic, and this archbishop is a heretical Jesuit admirer of Francis who likes to dress up.
φ, π, and e are not merely constants used in equations, but the three primordial modes of mathematical existence. They function as the architectural trinity from which all structures, dimensions, constants, laws, values, and physical manifestations arise.
For those who want to read about the novel approach to the Theology/Ontology. Here is an easy to read (no Math) article from my website, pointing to existence of the Most Holy Trinity where 'proof' is based on mathematics/physics. "The universe is not governed by arbitrary physical laws. It is governed by pre-existing mathematical relations." "Mathematics reflects the eternal, unchanging order of the Holy Trinity." 3005.

Reality cannot arise from one constant (monism) or two (dualism). One gives no relational or dynamic structure. Two gives opposition but no harmony. Three gives: • unity • distinction • relation
“I carry the image of a Muslim child killed in Lebanon, who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said "Welcome, Pope Leo," and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. I cannot be in favor of war.”
Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.

Chris Jackson rightly wrote (Hiraeth in exile): So what are we supposed to believe? That the Church “long considered” an attack on human dignity to be morally acceptable? That Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors, the Roman Catechism, and centuries of Catholic rulers all endorsed something intrinsically contrary to the dignity of man until Francis, of all people, corrected the moral theology of Christendom?
'I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible. I don't care what the bible says. I just don't care...at the end of the day Paul was wrong." Pastor Joe Smith of Meizon Church (Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) explains that he doesn't care what Paul says in the bible.

2 Peter 2:21-22 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs: “The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”

THE REVOLUTION OF THE ‘LITTLE WAY’: How St. Therese’s Childlike Trust Subverted Worldly Power I. INTRODUCTION: A “Little” Revolution in Holiness In the 2023 Apostolic Exhortation Petite Ingressus (“A Little Entry”) honoring St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Pope Francis celebrated the Carmelite saint’s “Little Way” as a prophetic upheaval of human ambition. Rather than lofty deeds, Thérèse taught that hundreds of tiny acts of love—offered in hiddenness—transform hearts and societies more radically than grand programs. This “revolution of smallness” was, in Francis’s words, dangerous to every empire of self‑importance, for it built the Kingdom of God on the subversive foundation of total trust and humble mercy. “Unless you become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:3 II. The Little Way as Prophetic Reversal of Power Francis pointed out that worldly power often demands spectacle, influence, and hierarchy. St. Thérèse, by contrast, embraced spiritual …More
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz. He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence. “This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.” And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …More
On the first anniversary of the death of Pope Francis, the question is no longer whether his legacy will endure, but how it is already unfolding. It is becoming harder to draw a clear line between the end of his pontificate and the beginning of that of Pope Leo XIV. The continuity is striking – and intentional.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 3:56 pm EDTThu Apr 23, 2026 - 4:43 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online. Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.” “The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote. “The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …
