“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal
The U.S. Started the War. The Rest of the World Is Feeling the Effects. In just eight weeks, much of the global economy has been knocked sideways. America has mostly been spared from the tumult. nytimes.com/…04/27/business/economy/iran-war-glob… The fallout from two months of war in Iran is shuttering textile mills in India and Bangladesh, grounding airplanes in Ireland, Poland and Germany, and prompting energy rationing in Vietnam, South Korea and Thailand. The only country, it seems, that has been relatively spared from the economic chaos is the one that started the war: the United States. While warning signs of a recession are flashing across countries in Asia and Europe, the United States is likely to outperform most of the world’s advanced economies. Growth is steady and unemployment low. “It’s still hard to bet against the U.S. economy,” the Royal Bank of Canada said last week.

2 Peter 2:21-22 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs: “The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.” Hebrews 10:26 Apostasy Remains Unforgiven. If we deliberately persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, then there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins.

Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together. They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly. “When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern. I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time. Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using …Has köp
How he can sit there and affirm and, with his presence and sacred office, validate that heretic in her delusion, and at the same time, refuse to receive in Private Audience or even meet with the FSSPX Superior General, who is a faithful and holy bulwark of the Faith, is a great travesty and injustice.
First Large-Scale Art Installation at Freiburg Cathedral: The Cathedral of Freiburg, Germany, is currently hosting a large-scale contemporary art installation. Beginning in the choir in front of the Marian High Altar, a female artist is creating a thread-based installation that extends through the church interior and will continue to grow over the four weeks leading up to Pentecost. The project budget is approximately €43,000.

Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources. This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988." The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act". Excommunication of entire FSSPX ? Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour. Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops". Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism …Has köp
'Olive branches' and 'synodality' for heretics and apostates but excommunication for those who have 'gone astray' by following the orthodox teachings of the Church for nearly 2 millennia?! Something looks awry. Pray for the Holy Father that he may need the Holy Spirit more fruitfully.
He warns that such people compensate for their "inner weakness" by becoming overly bossy. This also happens in the Industrial workforce. With an inexperienced person placed into a position of power and authority, power quickly goes to his head and leadership skills are lost. A "How to Become a Good Supervisor" seminar focuses on transitioning from individual contributor to leader by mastering communication, conflict resolution, and performance management. Key topics include active listening, setting clear expectations, delivering constructive feedback, and building team trust. These seminars, often available via SkillPath, AMA, or online modules, emphasize practical tools to boost team morale and productivity. The guy who really wants the job is the guy who should never be promoted, it'll go to his head.
Talking to Gloria.tv, Bishop Athanasius Schneider asks Pope Leo XIV to permit the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Since Leo XIV continually calls for peace in the world, the bishop argues that he should also foster peace within the Church. If he cannot make peace with the faithful and clergy of the FSSPX — Catholics who love and pray for the Pope — then his appeals for peace will lose credibility. Bishop Schneider therefore recommends that the Pope allow the consecrations as a gesture of reconciliation and to build bridges with the FSSPX, with whom he should continue discussions towards a lasting solution.
Ausschnitt aus diesem Video: "Wenn der Papst in der Welt zum Frieden aufruft, sollte er auch innerhalb der Kirche Frieden stiften. Eine Erlaubnis der Bischofsweihen wäre ein seelsorgliches Zeichen des Dialogs und der Versöhnung mit der Piusbruderschaft – als Brücke zu weiterer Klärung und Einheit."
Mon Apr 27, 2026 - 2:04 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Palantir, a company you may have never heard of, wields an extraordinary amount of power within the Trump administration and throughout the world. Palantir is viewed by at least one astute observer as “the most dangerous company in the world” not only because of its tyrannical surveillance reach into American lives, but because of its terrifying power to trigger deadly military and societal decisions via its computer algorithms. Interestingly, homosexual tech billionaire Peter Thiel — Palantir’s chairman, largest shareholder, and ideological spine — recently hosted a four-part lecture series on the Biblical Antichrist in Rome during Lent. As far back as 2009, Thiel wrote that he had stopped believing freedom and democracy were compatible. Palantir’s unprecedented threat to human existence “Forget ExxonMobil. Forget Lockheed. Forget Facebook, Raytheon, Pfizer, BlackRock, every villain you’ve been trained to point at for the last thirty …
Tom Morelli is probably a bot mass produced by Palantir. It takes arguments and defenses of Church teaching and twists them around to defend pedophiles and zionist/deep state wars. Make sure all decisions made for you are screened and managed through the Blessed Virgin Mary by consecrating your all to her. And they will loose.
Joyful Charity In A Hostile World Saint Peter urges Christians to live as pilgrims on a journey towards heaven, not as if this world is the ultimate goal. This means living with holiness, being a light in the darkness, and treating all people, including those in authority, with respect and charity. In a society that often lacks kindness and decency, Christians should be known for their joy and charity. Saint Peter’s letter to persecuted Christians emphasizes the importance of living a life of joy, charity, and forgiveness, even in the face of adversity. This call to holiness is a challenge for all Christians, urging them to be a light in the darkness and a source of leaven in the world. By focusing on God and living according to His will, Christians can find fulfillment and bring glory to the Father. Fr.
