Elbridge Colby, serving as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy under Donald Trump, reportedly summoned the then Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, to the Pentagon in January. This was reported by TheFp.com on April 6. The meeting followed a speech by Leo XIV to diplomats in which he warned against “the imperialist occupation of the world” and urged leaders to abandon the “desire to dominate others.” The Pentagon considered the speech as a bitter lecture against the USA. Colby and his colleagues told the Nuncio that the Catholic Church had better take its side. One U.S. official went so far as to mention the Avignon Papacy (1309–1377), when the popes were under strong influence from the French crown. Cardinal Pierre sat through the lecture in silence. #newsYbhsfkutcq

Is this the reporting news agencies, Gloria?TV feels comfortable relying upon to publish this scurrilous information? If so,they could do far better.
Kneel like Romans or Stand like the Ancients? Early Christians generally did not kneel while taking Holy Communion; they stood to receive it, viewing it as a joyous, resurrection-themed act. Kneeling was primarily associated with penance or solemn prayer, not communion, with the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) forbidding kneeling on Sundays. The shift to kneeling at Communion began much later, around the 12th century. Standing is Ancient: The earliest practice, especially in the East, was to receive communion standing and often in the hand. Kneeling as Penance: Early Christians often stood during liturgy. Kneeling was largely used for prayers of repentance, not as a standard posture for receiving the Eucharist. 12th-Century Shift: Kneeling for Communion became more common in the West in the 12th century, introduced alongside the adoration of the Host during the Elevation Prohibition on Sundays: The early Church, including the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325), encouraged standing on Sundays …More
By their fruits, every knee shall bend at his name never mind his true presence Actually bowing touching your head to the floor even though private revelation the Angel of Portugal taught the children Fatima prayer On one occasion, the three children saw the angel prostrate himself before a host and chalice that hung in the air. Worshiping the Eucharist, the angel prayed: Most Holy Trinity—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
"Despite a ceasefire between the US and Iran, Israel continues to completely wipe out Christian villages in Southern Lebanon - some of which have been in place since the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - while the alleged target, Hezbollah, moves safely to the north and west of the country. More Christians have been exterminated by the Jewish state in this operation than all of the Christians killed by ISIS combined."
In the ceasefire Iran said, the killing and bombing in Lebanon must cease! Iran defending Christians once again. While as usual bibi wants them dead. The Christians in Iran are with the government and against the US and Israel for attacking them for no reason. They are standing side by side by the Iranians because they see themselves as brothers. They want us out of there NOW! Larry Johnson said that is part of the ceasefire. Trump went crawling to them after no one cared to get involved in his evil war. We lost and he knows it. So he went begging Iran to stop. Except the killing in Lebanon must stop as part of the deal. Remember trump and bibi bombed them twice in the middle of negotiations. First time killing 170 little girls. As well as trying to bomb a little boys school. Iran made out in a great way with this ceasefire. But it wont last. I doubt this very highly. We know we can't trust trump. And now the whole world knows they can't and they all turned their backs on him. Sad to …More
The Heralds of the Gospel announced on April 5 in São Paulo that priestly ordinations will resume in April 2026, following a suspension in place since 2019. 31 acolytes will be ordained as deacons on April 11 and 26 deacons to the priesthood on April 12. The ordinations concern members of the clerical society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli, which is associated with the Heralds of the Gospel. The diaconal ordinations will be conferred by Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães, archbishop emeritus of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil. The priestly ordinations will be presided over by Raymundo Damasceno Assis, archbishop emeritus of Aparecida and Pontifical Commissioner. Ordinations within the Heralds had been suspended following a Vatican intervention that began in 2017 and was reinforced in 2019 with the appointment of a Pontifical Commissioner. During this period, candidates for ordination remained in a state of waiting, and no formal public accusations or clear timeline for resolution …More
The Heralds were right to choose Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães and Raymundo Damasceno Assis, since they were not elevated as archbishops by the false Pope Francis nor the current one; otherwise, the ordinations would be invalid.
Bishop Hervé Giraud of Viviers, France, has ordered the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND), a Novus-Ordo community, to stop accepting new members and to suspend all religious vows, following a recent court ruling involving the community’s former superior, Fr Bernard Domini. The decision, announced on 30 March, follows a French court sentencing the former leader for “abuse of weakness”. However, the community’s lawyer described the ruling as 'close to an acquittal'. Both sides have appealed the verdict, meaning the case is not final. The bishop presented the measure as a precautionary step, but it has drawn strong criticism. Some families argue that it disregards the presumption of innocence and disrupts long-standing vocations. Parents have accused the bishop of “abuse of power” and of “destroying the religious lives” of their children by preventing them from making commitments that had been prepared for over many years. Bishop Giraud has since said [=words], he is willing …More
There is something terribly wrong with that kind of people. Terribly terribly wrong. For 2000 years already. And that, my friends, is a very long time. Go figure it.
All you need to do is think with the teachings of the Catholic Church and you will see how this attack on Iran was planned in advance by Russia and the enemies of freedom to advance their anti-Christ agenda. Cui Bono?
International law is invoked only when it suits one’s purposes, Cardinal Pietro Parolin told the magazine Dialoghi in its recent edition: “Many governments have expressed outrage over the attacks on Ukrainian civilians by Russian missiles and drones, imposing sanctions on the aggressors. It does not seem to me that the same has happened in the case of the tragedy of Gaza’s destruction…” Vatican Believes in United Nations Furthermore, Cardinal Parolin praised the United Nations: “The Holy See continues to believe in the importance of the United Nations”. He only adds that “vetoes have limited the UN’s capacity to intervene.” Leo XIV in Communion with Communists' Bishops Regarding relations with China, Cardinal Parolin said that the secret agreement from 2018 is not a concordat or a political-diplomatic agreement, but rather a regulation of the process for appointing bishops. For him, the only decisive factor is communion with the Successor of Peter: “The fact that all bishops in …More
Mercredi de Pâques – Station à Saint-Laurent-hors-les-Murs – La vie chrétienne est une vie du ciel. A Rome, la Station est dans la Basilique de Saint-Laurent-hors-les-Murs. C’est le principal des nombreux sanctuaires que la ville sainte a consacrés à la mémoire de son plus illustre Martyr, dont le corps repose sous l’autel principal. Les néophytes étaient conduits en ce jour près de la tombe de ce généreux athlète du Christ, afin d’y puiser un sincère courage dans la confession de la foi et une invincible fidélité à leur baptême. Durant des siècles entiers, la réception du baptême fut un engagement au martyre ; en tout temps, elle est un enrôlement dans la milice du Christ, que nul ne peut déserter sans encourir la peine des traîtres. Le nom de la Pâque signifie en hébreu passage, et nous avons exposé hier comment ce grand jour est d’abord devenu sacré, à cause du Passage du Seigneur ; mais le terme hébraïque n’épuise pas là toute sa signification. Les anciens Pères …
Fr. Christopher Basden draws on his Middle East upbringing to challenge mainstream narratives about Iran, Israel, and the push toward war. He argues that claims of imminent threats mirror past justifications like the Iraq War, while deeper conflicts over Palestine and geopolitical interests continue to fuel instability. The discussion highlights the human cost of war, including displacement, destruction, and the suffering of Christian communities. Criticism is directed at Western Church leaders for inconsistent responses to these crises. Despite the turmoil, Fr. Basden points to growing awareness and enduring faith as signs of hope.

In full communion with Prevost, the apostate gay activist Ludger Schepers of Essen,—in open rebellion against the laws of God and Catholic morality—continues to promote sodomy and its perversions, such as transvestism. Romans 1:32: “Although they (sodomites) know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them” St. Hildegard of Bingen: Homosexuality is the supreme offense against God. Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs(male prostitutes and unfaithful leaders),those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,the idolatersand everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers of Essen, the 'queer representative' of the German Bishops' Conference, is calling on the Church to change its approach to gender dysphoria. Talking to KNA (April 7), he described a return to natural gender roles as a "misguided path". "The diversity of human identities - whether homosexual, transgender, or intersex - is not a modern construct, but part of God’s plan of creation," Monsignor Schepers claimed. Furthermore, he criticised the idea of "tradwives" on social media. He described the idea of the role of housewife as an "artificial aesthetic lacking real grounding" and a "problem for freedom and equality". Picture: Pressefoto Bistum Essen, #newsVhmdeuunbz
Cardinal Burke: "Highest Church Authorities Abandon Christ and Fall into Apostasy" Father Elwood Sylvester Berry pointed out that the anti-church is made up of the apostate clergy and the apostate laity: “The dragon is seen in heaven which is here a symbol of the Church, the kingdom of heaven on earth. This indicates that the first troubles of those days will be inaugurated within the Church by apostate bishops, priests, and peoples, — the stars dragged down by the tail of the dragon. PROFESSION OF FAITH (vatican.va) “I also firmly accept and hold each and everything definitively proposed by the Church regarding teaching on faith and morals.” Therefore according to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Ludger, it is not in full communion with the Catholic Church. He is an apostate who does not profess the Catholic faith.
Let’s walk through the amazing timeline. In May, 2025, Trump barnstormed the Middle East on a whirlwind 4-day tour, making economic deals, investment pledges, and bilateral agreements. In January, 2026, President Trump launched his Board of Peace with a $1 billion buy-in for extended membership. Notice who joined: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Morocco and others; making 25+ countries total. Now notice who did not join: Iran. (“Allies” like UK, France, and Canada all dragged their feet.) The US pledged $10 billion to run it, with $1.25 billion already transferred from the State Department. The money is managed by private US interests (rumored to be managed by Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners). In other words, it’s not managed by the UN, the IMF, or the World Bank. Or by the Middle Eastern countries. Here’s what all this means: long before Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, he stitched up all of Iran’s neighbors, entangling …More
It’s always interesting to see how silent certain people get when good news breaks, yet they’re lightning-quick to point out any bad news. Their TDS has consumed them to the point of insanity. They’d rather see the world burn than admit Trump did something good.
President Trump just speed-ran a major war. As far as I can tell, the time from launch to first cease-fire is a modern record. After a dramatic weekend buildup wherein the President set a dramatic 8pmdeadline, threatened to “wipe out” Iran’s civilization standing next to a rabbit mascot, dropped an F-bomb, and after B-52s were launched and on their way, Iran came to the table at the last minute. The Wall Street Journal reported, “Iran War News Live Updates: Trump Agrees to Two-Week Cease-Fire With Iran if Hormuz Re-Opened.”
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira – Folha de S. Paulo, March 20, 1978 – A few decades ago, the Church’s influence on the Brazilian people was so profound that I formed an “ecclesiocentric” impression of the national reality, in which the hierarchy’s guidance was the most influential factor in events. Hence, the internal life of the Church—where this guidance was, so to speak, elaborated—was the most active element in the life of the country. Of course, my rather bold impression had nuances, the most important of which is obvious: as a spiritual society, the Church limited itself to acting within its own field. It intervened in the temporal field only when there was a risk of violating one of God’s commandments. Thus, the Church refrained from influencing a wide range of issues not out of weakness but out of a noble recognition of the intrinsic limitations of its field of action. An “ecclesiocentric” conception would be inappropriate for these issues. Even so… Yes, even so, a distinction …More
