On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …'Besdal
War was used to reduce the national debt…and today is no different…taking Iranian oil and Venezuelan oil could potentially be enough to pay down the trillions owed by the us…just a guess
Four days ago, Pope Leo XIV praised Christian-Muslim “dialogue” during Wednesday’s meeting with the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa. On Palm Sunday, dozens of Christians were slaughtered in Northern Nigeria.
Just another bone. How about you get rid of the satanist in our schools? How about stopping them from teaching children about it after school? How about kicking them out or banning them in the US as Russia has done. How about putting strict laws like Russia has on gays ? NO? Nor will you see anything of significance like that be done. Just a few bones here and there. And such tiny bones no less.
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
This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross. On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?
To be clear, in the case of heresy it is God who judges it because the Catholic Faith is revealed by God. The Pope is in effect judged by God as a heretic when he rejects the faith. Any man can identify the Pope as a heretic freely without any problem in that case. The man is not judging the Pope, the Pope has already been judged by God. The man is simply expressing an existing judgement.

"Fun Church" in Holy Week: Fr. Simon Teller, O.P., published a video on March 29 about the different ways people use palms on Palm Sunday. The examples include the deconstructionist, the artist, the hoarder, the tickler, the sword fighter, and the panda mode. Fr. Teller is a chaplain at Providence College in the United States.
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11
I agree that this video is in very bad taste because they are mocking/ridiculing a sacramental whether they realize it or not. I wouldn't consider making a cross out of the palms "artistic" but it was probably the only correct or pious way to use the palm.
Most of these could have been written by Ron Paul. Iran has denied targeting Diego Garcia so this may have been false news to set up a false flag. Now back to the GTV/MI6 magisterial posts.
A Molotov cocktail was thrown at participants during a March for Life in Lisbon on Saturday. Fortunately, the device failed to ignite and no one was injured. The suspect was quickly detained at the scene. According to police, the 39-year-old man has caused similar disturbances in the past. Patriarch Rui Valério of Lisbon released a statement afterwards that violence is never the way: "It does not build, it does not dignify, it does not serve the truth. And it becomes even more painful when it threatens the most vulnerable, especially children, who should always be a sign of hope and never exposed to fear." #newsSxcsdqbgli
I use thecradlemedia telegram channel sometimes. There are many others. Here are some other related news from recently. Phony israel passed a law today to kill all Palestinians in prison. Israeli soldiers are holding prayers asking for mercy from Iran. 1000s of disenchanted israelis are taking refuge in Sinai. The number of dead or injured US soldiers are in the thousands. Hezbollah has destroyed over 100 Merkava tanks. Iran is hitting American bases in Syria. Soon it will become easier to believe the likely theory that the assassination attempt on Trump was staged compared to what denials are coming forth from this administration. Now back to GTV kumbaya posts.
For the record, Iran claims they did not launch this attack and that this was a false-flag attack launched by Israel. Telegram: Contact @thecradlemedia
Supreme Court rules 8–1 to reject a law banning talk therapy to help kids struggling with gender confusion. No child is transgender. Huge win for protecting children’s innocence.
The Colorado Court is stacked with liberal judges. They have a habit of being overturned. Their ruling that Trump could not be on the 2024 ballot in Colorado was overturned 9-0 by SCOTUS. We would no longer be recognizable had Hillary and Kamala beat Trump. Their court picks would certainly have upheld the leftists.

Multiple governments - including the USA, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Lebanon, and Poland, - condemned Israeli police for blocking a private prayer by Cardinal Pizzaballa at the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem today. In response, Israeli officials say they are working on a plan to allow church leaders to worship at the holy site in the coming days. Cardinal Pizzaballa told TV2000 that there were no clashes: "Everything was done in a very polite manner. I do not want to force the issue. We want to use this situation to try to clarify better in the coming days what to do, in respect for everyone's safety but also in respect for the right to prayer."
Cardinal Pizzaballa: “It is true that the police had said that the orders from the internal command prevented any kind of gathering in places where there is no shelter, but we had not asked for anything public, just a brief and small private ceremony to preserve the idea of the celebration in the Holy Sepulchre. There were no clashes; everything was done in a very polite manner. I do not want to force the issue; we want to use this situation to try to clarify better in the coming days what to do, in respect for everyone's safety but also in respect for the right to prayer."
