Xi Jinping Wraps Up Visits to France, Hungary, and Serbia: What Did He Accomplish? Chinese leader Xi Jinping just concluded a 3-nation visit, which marks his first trip to Europe in five years. Robert Daly, Director of the Wilson Center’s Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, provides an overview of the agenda and discusses key take-aways. He addresses Xi’s strategic goals and President Macron’s concerns about trade and China’s support of Russia. Daly also explains why Hungary and Serbia remain two of China’s closest friends in Europe.

Australia's Bishops have approved a liturgy that includes elements of Aboriginal language and culture. A motion was passed at the plenary meeting of the Australian Bishops' Conference in Sydney on Tuesday. It is called the "Mass of the Land of the Holy Spirit - Missa Terrae Spiritus Sancti". The rite will now be submitted to the Dicastery for Divine Worship for official approval by the Vatican, which approves everything that is not Catholic. The Eucharist has been used in the Diocese of Broome for over 50 years with very mediocre results. It is presided over in several local languages, and was approved in 1973 as a 'culturally adapted' liturgy 'ad experimentum' [that is, for ever]. A local Aboriginal Council described the rite as "a distinctive Mass that beautifully blends Catholic tradition with Aboriginal culture to create a unique celebration of faith [in what?] that has served the diocese for over five decades". "It symbolises a bridge that connects our spiritual beliefs with the …More

We can say to God: “Lead me in the path of your commands, for that is my delight. Direct my heart toward your decrees and away from unjust gain.” Psalm 119, verses 35 to 36 May our heart look toward the Heart of God and not on the side of lusts, illusions, the “mundane” of this passing world. May we not wait to gain to become happy. We want to remain in his Love. With God, we will have all that’s necessary for our survival. We are happy now, with whom we are, in him. Jesus wants to teach us. This is the foundation of the mission. Jesus wants to detach us from human and material goods. But, that doesn’t mean to become insensitive, to shut ourselves up. Not at all. Detachment is to be free from useless ties. It helps us to know each other and to know people better. It also helps us to use material stuff for the sole purpose of bringing us closer to Love, by sharing, for example. Jesus surrounded himself with Apostles because it is important to be united to others. Jesus didn’t want to be …More

A few years ago, Dafne Gutierrez, a Phoenix resident who was blind, regained her vision after praying through the intercession of St. Charbel. The doctors were not able to provide a medical explanation for this restoration of vision. The Catholic Sun quoted Anne Borik, a board-certified internal medicine physician, as saying, 'A long-standing damaged optic nerve causing blindness does not just all of a sudden appear normal in two days with complete restoration of vision.

Wunder: Hl Charbel - Dafne Gutierrez, eine blinde Bewohnerin von Phoenix, erlangte vor einigen Jahren wieder ihr Sehvermögen, nachdem sie durch die Fürsprache von St. Charbel gebetet hatte. Die Ärzte konnten keine medizinische Erklärung für diese Wiederherstellung des Sehvermögens liefern. Die Catholic Sun zitierte Anne Borik, eine zertifizierte Ärztin für Innere Medizin, die sagte: "Ein seit langem geschädigter Sehnerv, der Blindheit verursacht, erscheint nicht plötzlich in zwei Tagen normal, wenn das Sehvermögen vollständig wiederhergestellt ist.

On 8 May, Francis received in private audience Mundiya Kepanga, chief of a tribal community in the Tari region of Papua New Guinea. Francis will visit the country from 6 to 9 September. Mundiya Kepanga belongs to the Telabo Angi Puria clan, part of the Huli tribe, known previously for magic, witchcraft and cannibalism. He only appears in his funny dress for photo ops. Otherwise he is an activist for the oligarchs and other champagne socialists, promoting their climate hysteria, often travelling by plane around the world. #newsCvphnztadh

What’s good for the great Saint (lol) JPII shouldn’t be problematic in Francis. Anyone who has a problem with naked people at Mass is probably schismatic. Ha-ha. You dupes trying to save Vatican II deserve these outrages. But our Lord does not. You’re not on the right side.

St. Patrick's Church in Belfast, Ireland, was turned into a cinema on 7 May to show the film "Young Frankenstein", an American parody of the classic horror film genre with no pretence of serious content. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the film. The £10-a-seat event was sold out. It is officially forbidden to hold chargeable events in churches. The organisers said: "We can't think of a better venue than the truly gothic St Patrick's Church for this celebration of one of the funniest and most cinematically beautiful films of all time!" No one disputes that a parody is perfectly suited to a church that makes itself a parody of the Church. #newsBwuqtohbyl

The decadent Vatican is teaming up with the 'Fratelli Tutti Foundation' to host the second 'World Meeting on Human Fraternity' (May 10-11). Knowing that nobody is interested in this, the Vatican turns the event into a concert hoping to attract people in this way. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of St Peter's, announced the programme at a press conference on 7 May. According to the Fratelli Tutti Foundation, this 2024 event follows on from the supposed "success of last year". In reality, that first meeting, which took place in June 2023, featured the homosexual dancer Roberto Bolle and was an embarrassing flop in terms of attendance (pictures). Speakers in 2024 include winners of the discredited Nobel Peace Prize, political activists, economist Jeffrey Sachs and Nelson Mandela's wife Graca Machel Mandela. Francis will lead an event with children in the Vatican's new Synod Hall. The closing concert on the steps of St Peter's on 11 May will feature Italian composer Giovanni Allevi, …More

Mathias Fuchs, a lay pastoral assistant who dresses like a pseudo-priest, presided over a "heavy metal service" on 3 May at St Martin's Church in Bruchsal, Archdiocese of Freiburg, Germany. The archdiocese supported the project morally and financially. Freiburg is the archdiocese where Archbishop Georg Gänswein, who was expelled from Rome, resides. Fuchs explained on the archdiocese's social media account that his show was "not a concert", but a church service with music. This includes singing along, clapping, dancing and 'headbanging'. According to Fuchs, God is "where it is loud, where people are happy, where they are together". The heavy metal noise was provided by the local band 'Metal GodZ' [a blasphemy?]. #newsQmxaifddrx

The electronic baptismal register of the Gurk-Klagenfurt diocese in Austria lists three imaginary genders in addition to the two existing ones. When registering a baptism, a priest can choose from five options: - male - female - mixed - diverse - open - not specified The majority of priests don't even know what the imaginary genders would mean and have never heard of them before their diocese invented them. A priest who complained to the diocesan office responsible for the form was told that the office had "no influence". Since the Second Vatican Council, the diocese of Glurk-Kagenfurt has lost over 40% of its priests and the trend is continuing. #newsPzcaahqeyf
