Jubilee of Prisoners, #PopeLeoXIV: May forms of amnesty or pardon be granted During the Mass presided over in St. Peter's Basilica, Leo XIV reiterated the desire expressed by Francis in "Spes non confundit," the papal bull announcing the Holy Year. He hopes that everyone will be offered real opportunities for social reintegration, while being aware of the critical issues of the prison system: "No human being is the same as what he has done. Justice is always a process of reparation." #VaticanNewsIT

That creepy looking son can’t wait to get his grubby thieving hands on that money…..sad. His dad won’t get to enjoy any of it with him around. And probably won’t live much longer either—if you get my drift.
I just watched this very video on yt last week! I enjoy this sort of stories sometimes. Some are fake. Or they change the story a bit. Thank you Pierre for this beautiful story.
No supreme pontiff, not even Pope Francis, who liked to be interviewed as pope, has stopped to speak to the press in such an ad hoc way. In-flight papal press conferences, begun by Pope St. John Paul II, are similar but they are infrequent and more controlled.
+++Prophesies of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich+++ “The Church is in great danger… I see that in this place [Rome] the [Catholic] Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there will hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived.

Yes. And the altercation was because of how Jacob and Rebekah deceived the hapless Issac to steal the birthright. Why would God "need" a pair of liars to define His lineage? Because He would not allow anyone to boast of the lineage of the Messiah. With the altercation, Jacob received a limp and God's Mercy, like when we all fight God. The mark of Christianity. With God's Mercy, he receives the new name Israel. AND THAT IS THE MEANING OF ISRAEL.

The Greek Orthodox are firmly allied with Rome in the acceptance and promotion of this unholy agenda. The Moscow, Romanian, Jerusalem Orthodoxies see this Homosexual agenda as Flat out Sin. Yes, the Russians are Communist, and that is a major stumbling block. However, they along with others will not capitulate to the promotion of heresy.

This is probably the most valuable chalice in the Treasury of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It was commissioned in Rome by Pope Pius IX to be used in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the day the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined, 8 December 1854. This chalice enchants the eyes of those who see it, with the splendour of almost 700 diamonds adorning it.
