On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
When I look at this image, several things come to mind: 1. It contradicts the Creed, suffered died and was buried 2. It has the cart ahead of the horse - is this a Easter Resurrection or a swan dive into Hell ? 3. It presents CONFUSION, a continuation of the Francis Satanic Agenda on Palm Sunday
Pope Leo XIV will wash the feet of 12 priests of Rome, during Maundy Thursday Mass. Eleven of them are priests he ordained last year, & the 12th is spiritual director of Rome's Major Seminary. Thus he changes from Pope Francis' 2016 break with tradition, when he started washing women's feet
AI generator by Giulio Meotti Zero political outrage, zero clerical mobilization, and zero digital uproar for the Christians killed in Nigeria on Palm Sunday. Where are the fiery sermons, the hashtags, and the worldwide denunciations? The Kotel, holiest place for Jews in Jerusalem, the closest point to what remains of the Temple, always crowded, day and night, has been empty for a month. Empty because of the war and Iranian missiles. But it seems that an antisemitic missile is not a missile, but a message of peace. Thus, Israel closing the Church of Sepulchre to Cardinal Pizzaballa out of fear of Iranian attacks caused more noise and scandal than the Iranian missile that fell near the Sepulchre a few days earlier. Antisemitism truly seems to be the socialism of fools (including Christian ones). In the end, Prime Minister Netanyahu intervened to guarantee Pizzaballa safe passage to the Sepulchre for prayer and Mass. Case closed? Not so fast. 350,000 posts in 10 hours about the cardinal’s …
Conspiracy comes in focus. Even if these operations were not unified, not bringing them to light basically incriminates those blocking this from coming out of those same crimes. As our Lord states in Matthew 23:31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, published on April 8, 2016, was a “breakthrough” for the Church. This was stated by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 81, of Vienna, who had presented the document at the Vatican ten years ago, in an interview with Kathpress.at on March 30. In a footnote, Francis "allowed" adulterers to grab Holy Communion using the case-by-case trick. Cardinal Schönborn commented: "That Pope Francis addressed the question of whether divorced and remarried persons may receive Communion only in a small footnote deeply moved me personally." “When I take the document from my bookshelf or even just think about it, it still brings me to tears,” he added. For many people in the Church - and for him personally - the document represented a “huge sigh of relief.” The reason, he explained, is that Francis speaks “about real life.” Families in “difficult” situations should not be constrained or judged according to "rigid criteria". Instead, one …More
“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored." Noelia Castillo, who was a sexual-assault survivor. After she was placed in a group home as a teenager she was gang raped by African migrants, leading her to try to take her own life by jumping from a building. She ended up paralyzed and eventually sought suicide. Her family tried to stop her and when that failed they took legal action. The State Departmentdirected the US Embassy in Madrid to probe how Spanish law enforcement handled repeated sexual attacks against Castillo before her death, according to a report from the New York Postciting a leaked diplomatic cable. “We are deeply concerned by allegations that Ms. Castillo was repeatedly sexually assaulted while under state care and that no perpetrators have been brought to justice,” the cable read. “We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia …
Apr 1 How the Liberals have economically weakened and divided Canada From Real Women of Canada comes another sober article outlining the economic failures of Canada's Liberal government led by PM Justin Trudeau and now Marc Carney. Today all Members of Parliament will get a pay hike, whether they deserve or not. So, those backbencher MPs Canadians never hear from will get an increase of 4.2%, taking their base salaries to $211,000. The PM will receive $420,000 and ministers $300,000. No, it's not an April Fool's Day joke. Canadians surely wish it was. Here's the article by Real Women of Canada tilted, "Mark Carney Walks in the Footsteps of Justin Trudeau." We post the entry with permission. Everyone remembers when Justin Trudeau became prime minister in 2015. The election of a Liberal Government, under his leadership, was greeted with elation. Mar 30 Sacred art in the service of faith We post the art essay from the Magnificat's Holy Week liturgical reader. It's written by Jennifer Healy …
Political leaders in the West are no longer governing for the citizenry they ought to represent. No, they are governing for themselves and the oligarchs they serve. Canada is now a prime example. It’s one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to natural resources. However, the province of Alberta cannot sell their oil and gas openly on the market and to other provinces within Canada. This is intentional. Don’t be Canada.
On 30 March, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Paolo Rudelli as Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, making him the Vatican’s third most senior official. Born in Gazzaniga, Italy in 1970, Monsignor Rudelli was ordained to the priesthood in 1995. He studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University and joined the Vatican diplomatic service in 2001. After serving in nunciatures in Ecuador and Poland, he worked in the Secretariat of State before being appointed Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe from 2014 to 2019. In 2019, Pope Francis personally consecrated him as a bishop and appointed him as Apostolic Nuncio. He served as Nuncio to Zimbabwe (2020–2023) and to Colombia (2023–2026). As a senior Vatican diplomat, Monsignor Rudelli is accustomed to maintaining message discipline and avoiding polarising issues. "Follow Francis' Synodal Path!" Across Zimbabwe and Colombia, Nuncio Rudelli presents a vision of the Church in the Francis era. In a 2023 address to …More
"When Pope Francis proposes fraternity as the foundation of social friendship and the pursuit of the common good, we could say that he proposes fraternity as the foundation of a universal ethic," Archbishop Rudelli said.
Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14 In the Bible, there is always the Love of God, which is real, and evil, which is the separation from Love. Let us remember that the Love of God does no harm to anyone. In the time of Moses, a person who was not a believer was considered to be in evil. Fortunately, there has been an evolution in our understanding of God and humankind. A person’s ideal is to allow oneself to be loved by God. 1Co 11 :23-26 Paul reminds us of the grace of the Eucharist, God's meal for us. John 13:1-15 “He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.” God loves each person completely, 100%. The phrase in the present tense: God loves. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
At Gethsemane Jesus of Nazareth agreed to bear the Cross to his own Crucifixion so that following him to Heaven’s Gate would not be a burden of impossibility for us.
04/01/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. I know what the secret negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are about. Trump isn’t lying to us; he is actually holding talks about a ceasefire. Not necessarily with the people who hold real power in Iran, but still. Why hasn’t a single journalist managed to get close to these negotiators? The answer is simple: because it’s standard practice on the American side to eliminate all witnesses to the negotiations. According to the principle: A good negotiator is a dead negotiator. The Americans perfected this tactic long ago during negotiations with the Native Americans. I suspect they traditionally served the mediators firewater. In case anyone hasn’t noticed yet, I’d like to point out today’s date… Things are about to get a bit more serious from here on out. The idea of negotiations isn’t so bad. It could help Trump extricate himself with dignity from this conflict that his best friends talked him into. It could help, but it won’t do any …
During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …More
JD Vance Announces Book Exploring His Conversion to Catholicism: 'I’m glad I found my way back to the Church. I learned much along the way. But if you believe as I do, you know I’ve been fortunate and touched by God’s grace,' Vance said.
What do you expect from a Bishop who has said to a Ben Shapiro, a modern day Jew asking about his prospects for salvation, that Jesus Christ is merely "the favored way" to salvation - not the only Way - and thus he, Ben Shapiro, should not worry about converting to Christ - it's not required! And we wonder why the SSPX will not bow down to the errors of Vatican II?
It's false doctrine being preached and swallowed by the Novus ordo. TRUE - Yahweh is infinitely merciful.......... only - and only if you repent sincerely. If this is omitted - like today, then it is Heresy, and false doctrine.
