Leo XIV honors the secularist Atatürk: On 27 November, Pope Leo XIV visited the Anıtkabir mausoleum in Ankara, the tomb of Kemal Atatürk (1881–1938). He took part in an official wreath-laying ceremony — a symbolic tribute to the founder and first president of modern Turkey. Yet Atatürk is not someone a Pope should honour. He dismantled the Ottoman millet system, where religious communities governed themselves, and imposed a top-down secularism designed to control religious authority and reorder a post-imperial, non-Christian society. By the time he came to power, most Christian communities — Armenians, Greek Orthodox and Syriac Christians — had already been killed or displaced. But under his leadership, the 1923 population exchange forced around 1.2 million Greek Orthodox Christians out of the country, effectively completing the disappearance of Christians from Turkey.
Pope Leo XIV has laid a wreath at the tomb of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk — the leader whose regime completed the destruction of Anatolia’s ancient Christian communities after the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides. Foreign dignitaries usually perform this ritual, but a Pope?
Pope Leo's message in the book of honor in the Syriac Orthodox Church of Mor Ephrem: “On the historic occasion in which we celebrate 1700 years since the Ecumenical Council of Nicea, we gather to renew our faith in Jesus Christ true God and true man, celebrating the faith we share together. I wish meny blessings on all who have gathered here and on all the communities they represent."
The key to resolving the Schism and a key to understanding the evolution of Arianism into Islam is Canon 6 from the Council (and its subsequent rejection). Canon 6 Let the ancient customs in Egypt, Libya and Pentapolis prevail, that the Bishop of Alexandria have jurisdiction in all these, since the like is customary for the Bishop of Rome also. Likewise in Antioch and the other provinces, let the Churches retain their privileges. And this is to be universally understood, that if any one be made bishop without the consent of the Metropolitan, the great Synod has declared that such a man ought not to be a bishop.
The grace of the sacrament of Confirmation makes us ready to fight and die for our faith, the Catholic Church. Raging war against our enemies is part of being a Catholic male. Daily we fight the world, the flesh and the devil, and when invaders come illegally into our homeland, we have a duty to fight them.
29.11.2025 ALL THE BOOKS OF ARCHBISHOP SALVATORE RINO FISICHELLA ARE WRITTEN WITH THE FALSE PREMISE Archbishop Salvatore "Rino" Fisichella, the Italian pro-prefect for the New Evangelization section of the Dicastery for Evangelization since 2022 has also been a Professor of Fundamental Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Lateran University. He was a consulter of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and Chaplain of His Holiness in 1994. He has served as the chaplain to the Italian parliament. He is a specialist in the theology of Hans Urs von Balthazar. Like Balthazar, Rahner, Ratzinger, Kung, Congar, Guardini, Lubac and Lehmann he accepted the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office (LOHO) which confused invisible cases of the baptism of desire as being visible exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This was an objective mistake of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ( Holy Office ) in 1949. He then interpreted Vatican …More
As we did during Lent this year, we will post for Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book called, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathers by Marco Pappalardo. First Sunday of Advent Introduction “The Mass has ended; go in peace!” How many times we have heard these words, and how often we instantly forget them as soon as we step foot outside the Church and meet with outstretched hands at the door, or once we have stopped at a red light. And yet the Mass just ended moments ago: we encountered Christ in the Eucharist! What does it mean to go in peace? What peace? Our heart should be restless after the celebration, ardently desiring consolation for those who suffer and striving to think of things to do for the poor, however great or small. The Mass does not end with the final blessing and recessional hymn; rather, this is the moment that it opens into our daily life. Reflection from …

Andrägasse – Google Maps In the Gries district of Graz, a secret mosque in an apartment building is causing a stir and triggering a great deal of media attention. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg: as reported by exxpress, Jews were openly insulted there and calls were made for violence against Zionists. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution has already launched an investigation. The discovery of the ‘Masjid al İhsan’ mosque in a basement But what began as an unexpected discovery is now turning out to be an explosive scandal, as exxpress has revealed.

Thank you for posting an objective assessment of the Jewish question! It is really the Bolshevik question and those behind the scenes, aka, Moscow, who have everyone confused and chasing their tails! It is called, "the errors of Russia," by Our Lady of Fatima and we need to wise up to it!
Tapfer, dass der Heilige Vater das Angebot, zu beten, ablehnte! Wie hätten wir uns im gegenteiligen Fall empört! Zum Ausziehen der Schuhe: 1. Respekt vor den Menschen, die eine Moschee für heilig halten. 2. Pflicht für jeden Touristen. 3. Oft üblich sogar in Wohnungen.
SOMOS HÍBRIDOS: ?????? LA VERDAD INCÓMODA DEL PROYECTO TERRA Te han contado que eres hijo de la evolución natural.

Today, Pope Leo XIV prayed with Orthodox and other schismatic Christians in Nicaea, reciting the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed in English. The Filioque clause was omitted. They prayed that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father".
Commemorating the 1700th Anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea in the place where it occurred, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and His All Holiness Bartholomew of Constantinople, lead Christian leaders in reciting the Nicene Creed in English, omitting the Filioque clause.
That may be so, but it's high time to come to the understanding that the Graven Sin of a Heretic out weighs the Sin of Schism. Just ask the guys who just went to Scotland. And ask the SSPX who are still not in full communion, so partially schismatics also. You'll come to the understanding that being in schism, can be a good thing, although not Legal in the Roman Law. Additionally, Pope Paul the 6th put in writing that the Sacraments of the Orthodox Church are VALID, because they have an Apostolic Line of Succession. Something to think about while slug talking the Orthodox. It's pretty clear that we are living in the end times, It's best not to be a Heretic. The other half of the Orthodox, who did not show up, also do not want to be labeled as heretic. Truly, this is a Spiritual War with the Anti-Christ
Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) has appointed Cardinal Kurt Koch as its new President, following confirmation by Pope Leo XIV. He succeeds Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, who led the foundation for fourteen years.

ACN states that his experience in dialogue and Church leadership will support its mission of assisting persecuted and suffering Christians worldwide.
Home » News » Cardinal Kurt Koch appointed president of ACN – “We are grateful to Pope Leo,” says executive president Regina Lynch Cardinal Koch has been a friend of ACN for many years and brings with him a wealth of experience in the field of ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue.

Leon XIV. je potrdil 75-letnega kardinala Kurta Kocha za novega predsednika organizacije Pomoč Cerkvi v stiski (ACN). Nasledil je 81-letnega kardinala Maura Piacenzo, ki je fundacijo vodil štirinajst let. V letu 2024 je ACN podprla več kot 5.000 projektov v približno 140 državah in v pomoč vložila približno 140 milijonov evrov. Ko je bil monsinjor Koch švicarski škof v Baslu (1995-2010), je izražal splošno liberalno stališče švicarskih škofov. Ko ga je Benedikt XVI. imenoval za prefekta dikasterija za edinost kristjanov, je kardinal Koch veljal za bližnjega Ratzingerjevi teološki viziji. Pod Frančiškom se je Koch prilagodil novemu tonu. Leta 2013 je Martina Lutra označil za "iskalca Boga". Leta 2017 je pozval k "novemu razumevanju" Martina Lutra in pohvalil sekularizirajočo reformacijo kot "Kristusov praznik". V zadnjih letih je obsodil nezmožnost sobivanja rimskega obreda in novusa ordo (2020) in hkrati zahteval (2025), naj Cerkev "ponovno odpre zdaj zaprta vrata" rimskega obreda.
