Leo XIV. wünscht den Gläubigen frohe Ostern in zehn Sprachen: Italienisch, Französisch, Englisch, Deutsch, Spanisch, Portugiesisch, Polnisch, Arabisch, Mandarin-Chinesisch und Latein
And isn't this the same apostate who wishes Muslims a Happy Ramadan? And who congratulates an Anglican heretic? And who allows himself to be subjected to the incantations of shamans? All while brazenly presenting himself as the pope of all false religions—and, moreover, demanding to be recognized as Pope.
Leo XIV greets the faithful from the popemobile as he tours St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican April 5, 2026, after celebrating Easter Mass and delivering the “urbi et orbi” blessing.
Fourth Day: Today bring to Me The PAGANS AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Bergoglio's Blasphemy: “The Way of the Cross is the story of God’s failure” Hebrews 10:29 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 29 How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace? Bergoglio's heretical blasphemy: “Pagan Blood Runs through the Veins of Jesus” Christ has conquered sin and death. Alleluia!
Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.
EMTY SEATS: Catholic Traveler had a video on X.com from yesterday's Easter Night Eucharist with Leo XIV. Screenshots (fair use)
I was looking at 6:12, also in the dark at 22:24 In the dark, there are some areas without candle light, but to claim it's "Hundreds"....... for crying out loud....... the original post is trying to present it to be an MT house. Is the originator of the post an instigator? Don't be like Francis and say partial truths to present a point........ I want the whole picture.
@sp2 perhaps you should share with us the specific time-mark in the vid you posted where it contradicts the conclusion that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the service. The posted vid appears to only capture the seating in the front of the church.
message. It's especially important this Easter, as the war against Iran and in Ukraine have not ended. ... Brothers and sisters, through his resurrection, the Lord confronts us even more powerfully with the dramatic reality of our freedom. Before the empty tomb, we can be filled with hope and wonder, like the disciples, or with fear like the guards and the Pharisees, forced to resort to lies and subterfuge rather than acknowledge that the one who had been condemned is truly risen!In the light of Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!We are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent. Indifferent to the deaths of thousands of people. Indifferent to the …

5. April 2026 5. April 2026 04/05/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Trump is only successful. Others are to blame for failures. The dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi triggered a purge within the administrative structures of the White House and the Pentagon. According to reports, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth demanded the immediate dismissal of the Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George, and two other high-ranking officers were dismissed without any official reason being given. I immediately thought of the situation among German generals at the end of World War II. I don’t want to compare Trump to Hitler. Different times, different politics. I’m comparing the situation before the collapse of military power with ambitions for world domination. Scale of the dismissals (1942–1945): In the context of the entire final phase of the war, press reports and historical sources spoke of the dismissal of several dozen to over 100 generals. In 1945 alone, in the face of final defeat, the …

Lundi de Pâques – Station à Saint-Pierre – Alors leurs yeux s’ouvrirent et ils le reconnurent. Le mystère de la glorieuse Pâque est si vaste et si profond, que nous n’aurons pas trop des sept jours de cette semaine pour le méditer et l’approfondir. Dans la journée d’hier, nous n’avons fait autre chose que contempler notre Rédempteur sortant du tombeau, et se manifestant aux siens jusqu’à six fois, dans sa bonté et dans sa puissance. Nous continuerons à lui rendre les hommages d’adoration, de reconnaissance et d’amour auxquels il a droit pour ce triomphe qui est le nôtre en même temps que le sien ; mais il nous faut aussi pénétrer respectueusement l’ensemble merveilleux de doctrine et de faits dont la Résurrection de notre divin libérateur est le centre glorieux, afin que la lumière céleste nous illumine de plus en plus, et que notre joie croisse toujours. A LA MESSE. L’Introït, tiré de l’Exode, s’adresse aux nouveau-nés de l’Église. Il leur rappelle le lait et le miel …
Exorcist Explains Spiritual Warfare and Catholic Mental Health | Fr Chad Ripperger How can Catholics discern whether interior suffering is the result of demonic oppression or struggles like anxiety, depression, or emotional trauma? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Catholic priest, exorcist, and Thomistic philosopher Fr. Chad Ripperger, who explains how the Church approaches spiritual warfare, using the rich intellectual tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas to distinguish between spiritual and psychological afflictions. We explore how demons interact with the intellect, will, and passions, and how Catholics can recognize signs of spiritual attack, while understanding that not all mental or emotional challenges are demonic in origin. Fr. Ripperger shares practical guidance on discernment of spirits, the role of grace, virtue, and the sacraments, and how Catholic mental health perspectives can complement spiritual care. This conversation is essential …ተጨማሪ
Wonder why Fr Amorth promoted Medjugorje ? No body every wants to challenge a so called exorcist but somebody so obsessed quoting the devil doesn't seem right. The Priesthood suffered from a masculinity perception a gun slinging Exorcist seems like overcompensation to right the ship . Just my opinion

Lebanese Christians are now going from house to house and kicking out every Hezbollah Shia Muslim hiding in Christian neighborhoods. A Christian man and his wife were killed earlier because Hezbollah is using Christians as human shields in the war they started against Israel. The only way is to expel every single one of them.
Every night I give a Latin blessing to the housekeeper. As soon as I begin the blessing, my dog wakes up from sleep and follows me to my sleeping quarters.
Fourteen thousand people registered in a single day for the 2026 Notre-Dame de Chrétienté pilgrimage on the Paris–Chartres route, compared to 6,000 on the first day last year. The pilgrimage will take place over Pentecost, from May 23 to 25, and is expected to gather 20,000 participants walking to Chartres. A new, more accessible option - the “Jerusalem Route” - has been introduced. Shorter than the traditional 100 km walk (around 70 km), it is designed for those unable to complete the full distance. Like the main route, it also ends in Chartres, allowing more pilgrims to take part in the final stages of the pilgrimage. #newsChiagvdgui
IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DIVIDED? (and is Division so Bad?) fr.williamnicholas Fr. Bill addresses divisions within the Catholic Church - why some divisions can be bad, and why some are good for the Church as a whole. Given that Jesus appointed 12 Apostles instead of just 1, could this be what Jesus intended for a Church that is meant to spread throughout the world?
