Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell | Read by Peter Capaldi | Penguin Audiobooks Listen to the first two chapters of George Orwell's classic, Ninteen Eighty-Four read by Peter Capaldi. Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.
No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn. Edward Pentin reports on X.com that organisers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were not offered an alternative date to celebrate Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. He added that the Vatican’s August 7 letter simply stated that the basilica was unavailable, without mentioning any conflicting events. In recent days, it has been argued that the Franciscan anniversary celebrations in St Peter's basilica had been planned for years. @Michael Haynes wrote that the specific event at the Altar of the Chair was announced only in September, after the pilgrimage’s request for Mass had been refused in August. As for the prohibited procession, customary security restrictions have been cited as an excuse. Yet Haynes reports that permission to process into the Vatican had already been granted in April, only to be withdrawn the day before the pilgrimage. #newsUhvemzsmjm
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."
Prefektka pre médiá, ktorú vymenoval Lev XIV. a ktorá je rozvedená, označuje svoje vymenovanie za „bizarne“. Montserrat Alvarado (39) je prvou Američankou, prvou ženou a najmladšou prefektkou Vatikánskeho dikastéria pre komunikáciu, ako uviedla v rozhovore pre EWTN, ktorý bol odvysielaný 23. októbra. Z vlastnej iniciatívy dodala: „Aj ja mám v cirkvi anulované manželstvo, takže to je tiež bizarné.“ Alvarado hovorila o anulácii manželstva takmer tak, ako keby išlo o cirkevne schválený rozvod: „Myslím si, že mi o tom hovorilo viac ľudí ako o čomkoľvek inom – o ich túžbe dosiahnuť anulovanie manželstva, zvážiť opätovné zjednotenie s cirkvou po rozvode, nie že by ste to potrebovali, ak sa nechcete znovu oženiť, ale ak áno.“ Bizarnejšia poznámka z jej strany: „Nemyslím si, že práve preto ma vybrali.“
A Prefetessa para a Comunicação, nomeada por Leão XIV e divorciada, considera a sua nomeação «bizarra». Montserrat Alvarado, de 39 anos, é a primeira norte-americana, a primeira mulher e a mais jovem prefeita do Dicastério para a Comunicação do Vaticano, afirmou ela à EWTN numa entrevista transmitida a 23 de outubro. Acrescentou, espontaneamente: «Também tenho o casamento anulado pela Igreja, pelo que isso também é bizarro.» Alvarado falou sobre a anulação quase como se fosse um divórcio sancionado pela Igreja: «Penso que mais pessoas me falaram sobre isso do que sobre qualquer outra coisa: o seu desejo de solicitar uma anulação, de considerar essa reunificação com a Igreja após o divórcio — não que seja necessário se não quiser casar novamente, mas se quiser.» Uma observação bizarra da sua parte: «Não creio que tenha sido por isso que fui escolhida.»
Latinos Are Now America’s Most Important Swing Voters nytimes.com/…politics/latino-voters-poll-midterm-… Latinos helped fuel President Trump’s return to the White House. But Democrats have won back the trust of many Hispanic voters over the past two years. By Jennifer Medina and Ruth Igielnik Oct. 25, 2026, 5:01 a.m. ET In the 1990s, politicians fought for the support of soccer moms. In the 2010s, they competed for votes from white working-class voters. Now it is clear: Latinos are the most important swing voters of the 2020s. Democrats have made gains with Latinos over the past two years, winning back trust with a crucial group of voters who helped fuel President Trump’s return to the White House in 2024. Latino voters now favor Democrats over Republicans by 30 percentage points, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll. Support for each party among Hispanic voters in polls The shift is a striking reversal after Mr. Trump made significant inroads with Latinos, creating …More

Civil War in Israel As Soon as Next Week? In the United States, CIA contractor Ian Brinksman has been arrested for leaking classified information to journalist Aida Chavez. Chavez had published an article in the outlet *Capital & Empire* regarding an internal intelligence report on Israel. To briefly summarize the content of this shocking revelation: Israel is just one step away from a civil war. The document, titled "Internal Division," was produced by the CIA’s "Red Cell"—a unit tasked with examining alternative scenarios for how events might unfold; in other words, scenarios that are unlikely, yet theoretically possible. The arguments "in favor of a war" include: A large number of armed veterans from Gaza and Lebanon suffering from psychological trauma. Public discontent regarding the exemption of ultra-Orthodox individuals from military service. Escalating terror perpetrated by settlers in the West Bank. A 9.5% increase in food prices over the span of two years. A …More

Synod on Synodality: Everyone is welcome except Traditional Catholics I’m honestly disgusted and deeply saddened by the reports coming out about the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Imagine being a Catholic who wants to thank Pope Benedict XVI for Summorum Pontificum, the document that restored greater freedom for the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, only to reportedly find the doors of St. Peter’s Basilica closed to your pilgrimage. These are Catholics who love the Church, defend her traditions, and want to preserve the ancient Roman liturgy that nourished generations of saints. And yet here we are, watching faithful Catholics question whether they are even welcome in the spiritual heart of their own Church. Seriously, what kind of message does that send? Let’s get one thing straight: the Traditional Latin Mass is not some rebellious fringe movement that the Catholic Church needs to apologize for. It is part of her own liturgical inheritance. It is the Mass that formed generations …More
