"Christ readily and humbly accepts what others may think of Him in performing this gesture. Because everything that He sets out to accomplish is based in love and taught in charity, that others may follow in His footsteps to Eternal life."
Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …More
It is understandable that many Catholics feel offended and scandalized by the statements made by the President of the United States regarding Leo1 , even if one certainly cannot claim that Jorge Bergoglio refrained during his “reign” from launching attacks and provocations against Donald Trump. Moreover, the latter’s intervention is contextualized by the statements orchestrated against him this week on the CBS2 , propaganda program 60 Minutes by three utterly corrupt cardinals: Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin, three prelates who are notoriously ultra-Bergoglian and ultra-progressive, part of the network of the serial abuser Theodore McCarrick, inextricably linked to the radical “woke” Left, and key electors and closest collaborators of Robert Prevost. When asked by journalists about Donald Trump’s post, Leo replied: “I am not afraid of the Trump administration, nor of boldly proclaiming the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am called to do, and what the Church is called …
19. April 2026 19. April 2026 04/19/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. This year’s launch of the much-hyped “space mission” Artemis II on April 1 is hardly any different from the movies filmed in the Nevada desert about the first human landing on… that very same desert. Similar mistakes, similar lies. NASA leadership not only lies for a specific reason (e.g., greed), but also does so for no apparent reason and often believes its own fabricated stories. This is how mythomania—the condition of pathological lying—can be described. Leaving Earth’s orbit: The crew of the Artemis II mission is already on its way to the Moon. Some people’s hair stands on end—but not everyone’s. The bald astronaut doesn’t have that problem. A good way to get started with the theme of the new space fairy tale is a video on YouTube. Artemis 2 Moon Mission – I see something you don’t! Two audio tracks are available: German and English. It’s obvious why, right now, a Hollywood company is being hired to …
John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …More

This post furthers the Marxist dilectic by exposing its anti-Catholic bias towards MAGA/Zionism. I read in it, "But when a left wing ideologue wants to bash a conservative American President, facts can be most inconvenient."
As St. Robert Bellarmine explained, God always blesses just wars. And the Popes themselves proclaimed that the Crusades were the Wars of Christ, the Wars of God. How tiresome this endless fountain of heresies from the conciliar church is.
At least the entire rosary first thing every morning and having dedicated all my prayers works joys and suffering through the Immaculate Heart I do not presume to know best about what to ask for. He knows what you need even before you ask!
Imam greets Leo "in the name of Allah" in Catholic cathedral. Gloria TV: On 16 April, Pope Leo XIV presided over an interreligious peace meeting inside St Joseph's Cathedral in Bamenda, Cameroon. El Hadj Mohammed Aboubakar, the chief imam of Buea, gave a speech on behalf of the Muslim community and greeted Leo XIV with the Islamic greeting, As-salāmu ʿalaykum, adding: "I greet you in the name of Allah, who is most compassionate, the most merciful". By his sin of omission, Robert Prevost confirms Muslims in their rejection of the true God, allowing them to continue trampling upon and despising Christ as Redeemer. The pro-Islamic Prevost defends neither the true God nor the Catholic faith in his apostate interreligious facades for peace. —He mocks God and the Catholic faith, in collusion with those who deny the Prince of Peace and worship false gods. Here, too, we see the lack of mercy of the impostor Prevost, for an act of mercy consists in correcting those who err. He is hireling who …
Stephen C. Coughlin is an American lawyer and former Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence analystat at the Pentagon. This response was directed to @FatherChrisVor1 (see below): It was around 15 years ago that a group of Nigerians approached me, priests and ministers, to ask if I’d speak to Members of Congress about the mass killing of Catholic Nigerians, who were quite literally taken out of mass and burned alive, and filmed. That was when I was on the Hill all the time. They also asked if I’d reach out to the Archdiocese of Washington on their behalf because they couldn’t get an audience – they were actually shut out. I approached my parish priest to open the discussion. The priest’s panic of having to respond was obvious. He gave what was obviously a packaged response of non-involvement. Wouldn’t even watch the video. So cringe, so unmanly. The thing is, a number of years later, Boko Haram launched another round of mass killings targeting Catholics. This time, a Nigerian Reformed …
What stood out in this report is not a vague trend line but something concrete and measurable. Confession is increasing. In a time when the common narrative says Catholics are disengaged, this points in the opposite direction. People are returning to the sacrament that requires honesty, examination of conscience, and a real encounter with mercy.
On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …More
Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV. Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon: “ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Our Lord’s words of admonishment to the bride about true and false wisdom, and about how good angels aid the wise who are good while devils aid the wise who are evil. Chapter 33 “My friends are like scholars who have three things: First, a reasonable understanding above what is natural to the brain. Second, wisdom without human aid, for I myself teach them inwardly. Third, they are full of the sweetness and divine love with which they defeat the devil. But nowadays people study in a different way. First, they want to be wise out of vainglory in order to be called good clerks and masterly scholars. Second, they want to be wise in order to own and win riches. Third, they want to be wise in order to win honors and privileges. That is why I leave them when they go to their schools and enter there, since they study because …More
Perhaps the clearest philosophical truth of our age is this: a disturbing portion of humanity is so blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome, petty economic fluctuations, and shallow political thinking that they cannot comprehend the magnitude of what President Donald J. Trump has achieved. While they obsess over the price of gasoline, history is being rewritten in the Middle East through the force of his courage and leadership. That is not mere disagreement. That is a profound failure to recognize true significance when it stands directly before them. They just cannot admit his genius. x.com/sircensorlot/status/2045261079442325860
Catholics do not put their hope in princes, but justice requires us to acknowledge facts. Real achievements happened where others failed for decades. Obsessing over gas prices while ignoring less suffering in the Holy Land is not prudence. It is the materialism the Church has always condemned. True peace comes only from Christ the Prince of Peace. Let us thank God for these fruits, pray to Our Lady Queen of Peace to guard what has been gained, and ask protection for Christians in the region. History is written by God, not Washington.
