In a brief interview with the Washington Post, Cardinal Krajewski, the Vatican’s point-person for the event who oversaw its organisation, rejected any suggestion of an intentional snub toward the transgender activists. He said that places at the top table “were given to poor parishioners who had attended an earlier Eucharist”, while the transgender-activists arrived later for the event and “sat elsewhere”. He explained further that the spots for the Pope’s table this year had been handed out randomly to the poor parishioners. “The Church is open to everyone,” he said. “It’s not about [the Pope] meaning to carry on this outreach. They [the activists] came because they’re an integral part of the Church, that is all.”
Among the 1,300 guests at today's "Lunch for the Poor" event in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall were 48 transvestites. Many of them get money as homosexual prostitutes. As Leo XIV entered, one transvestite handed him an image of Our Lady. The Pope accepted it and moved to his table to address the crowd. Unlike in previous years, there were no transvestites seated at the main table with the Pope. Transvestite "Alessia" Nobile told WashingtonPost.com that he had managed to give a letter to Leo XIV: "The fact that he mingled with us and sat close to us is a good sign, right?" Curia Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who oversaw the organisation of the event, attempted to present the seating plan as a purely logistical decision. He claimed that places at the top table were given to poor parishioners who had attended an earlier Eucharist, while the transvestites arrived later and sat elsewhere. #newsYfuuupaion

A statement in which the Apostolic Nunciature of GB does not actually deny the accuracy of anything being reported about the future application of TC. If anything, the phrase "regret for the unauthorised disclosure of information" seems to imply the info was broadly accurate...!

The Vatican’s Synod Secretariat published on November 17 an Interim Report (28 pages) on its ten study groups. It is essentially a progress update toward a final report expected by December 31, 2025. “A special word must be reserved for the question of women's access to the diaconate,” the Interim Report notes, adding that the final document will address “the specific theme of the participation of women in the life and leadership of the Church.” On homosexuality, the Interim Report states: “Some emerging issues (which we find more appropriate to designate thus rather than as controversial) will be addressed in a manner that offers an operational dimension to the proposals advanced.” The Synodal “Paradigm Shift”: Subjectivity of Sinner The document proposes a "principle of pastorality" as "an interpretive horizon to express this paradigm shift (also in relation to the love/truth relationship).” It calls for a “mutual interaction between life (of the believer) and doctrine” and …More

NOVEMBER 17 SAINT ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY breski1 Virtueller Rundgang durch die Elisabethkirche Elizabeth of Thuringia Elizabeth of Turingia Elisabeth… Elisabetta… Memorial 17 November Profile Princess, the daughter of King Andrew of Hungary. Great-aunt of SaintElizabeth of Portugal. She marriedPrince Louis of Thuringa at age 13. Built a hospital at the foot of the mountain on which her castle stood; tended to the sick herself. Her family and courtiers opposed this, but she insisted she could only follow Christ’s teachings, not theirs. Once when she was taking food to the poor and sick, Prince Louis stopped her and looked under her mantle to see what she was carrying; the food had been miraculously changed to roses. Upon the death of Louis, Elizabeth sold all that she had, and worked to support her four children. Her gifts of bread to the poor, and of a large gift of grain to a famine stricken Germany, led to her patronage of bakers and related fields. Born 1207 at …More
The male spies kept getting killed, so they dressed a 23-year-old woman as a child, taught her to kill, and dropped her into Nazi-occupied France—where she outsmarted the Third Reich for 135 days. May 1, 1944. Five days before D-Day would change history. Phyllis Latour stood in the open door of a bomber aircraft, staring down at Nazi-occupied Normandy thousands of feet below. Wind screamed past her. Her parachute was strapped tight. Her cover story was memorized. In minutes, she'd be alone in enemy territory with nothing but her wits and a battered bicycle. She was 23 years old. And the Nazis had already killed every male agent sent before her. Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive—his secret army of spies and saboteurs—was desperate. D-Day was coming. The largest military invasion in history would succeed or fail based on intelligence from occupied France. They needed to know German positions, troop movements, fortifications. Lives depended on it. But the Gestapo was hunting …More
I tried to avoid his newest video because of the week end, but on short video's this popped up. I thought it was something we ought to know about and not wait till Monday to post it. Urgent update — Iran has built a new secret uranium-enrichment site near Natanz, known as “Kirk Mountain.” Tehran has blocked international inspections, boosted security, and put its missile factories on 24/7 production.

(LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Joseph Strickland, in a lengthy X post Friday, asked Pope Leo XIV and all of the bishops how much longer they’ll continue to serve two masters and “scandalize the little ones” by turning a blind eye to sin. In his November 14 post, the bishop emeritus of Tyler, Texas, questioned how long the bishops, the Vatican curia, and the Holy Father will continue to scandalize the faithful by their complacency in the celebration of irreverent and sacrilegious liturgies, welcoming same-sex “couples” into the Church without calling them to conversion, emphasizing welcoming migrants without addressing the effects of illegal immigration on native populations, and ultimately “halt between two masters.” (1 Kings 18:21) The bishop underscored that there are millstones ready to be distributed to Pope Leo a “truckload” for the Roman curia, and a “cargo load” for the vast majority of the world’s bishops who frequently scandalize the “little ones.” (Matthew 18:6) “How long …
“the phenomenon of so-called ‘immigration’ represents an orchestrated and long-prepared plan by international powers to radically change the Christian and national identities of the European peoples.” Words of Bishop Schneider, seven years ago ................................. "Il fenomeno della cosiddetta 'immigrazione' rappresenta un piano orchestrato e preparato da tempo da potenze internazionali per cambiare radicalmente l'identità cristiana e nazionale dei popoli europei". Parole di Monsignor Schneider, sette anni fa
Strickland: "A massive stockpile of millstones is ready to be distributed among you. One for Pope Leo, a truck load for the Curia in the Vatican, and cargo ships full for the vast majority of today’s successors of the Apostles."
The ghastly thing is, if this priest (1) is validly ordained (2) uses proper matter (3) says proper words and (4) intends (without believing) what the Church intends....the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ....to be subsequently defiled
