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
Conspiracy comes in focus. Even if these operations were not unified, not bringing them to light basically incriminates those blocking this from coming out of those same crimes. As our Lord states in Matthew 23:31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
Nico Spuntoni corroborated reports that Cardinal Arthur Roche, 76, could be ousted as Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy and become the Patron of the Order of Malta. The position of "Patron" gained notoriety when Pope Francis appointed Cardinal Raymond Burke, 77, to it (2014–2017) in order to remove him as Prefect of the Apostolic Signature. The current patron is Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda SJ, 83. He was Francis’ trusted canon lawyer and the proponent of a reform that was not well received within the Order of Malta. He is also an enemy of Opus Dei. Spuntoni was the first journalist to report that Archbishop Paolo Rudelli, a pro-Abu-Dhabi-document prelate, would become the Substitute, second man, in the Vatican Secretary of State. The Grand Master of the Order of Malta, fra John Dunlap, is pushing for Cardinal Ghirlanda to be removed. He wants Cardinal Roche, who is close to Dunlap. News of Cardinal Roche’s probable dismissal was first reported by his enemy, the English journalist …More
Cardinal Cock-Roach should be simply bounced out of any position whatsoever! He is a pompous low-intelligent, self-important, fake-catholic pompous ass. The sooner he goes the better. What an absolute disaster along with the Francis he has been for the Church. Please God soon!
Apr 1 How the Liberals have economically weakened and divided Canada From Real Women of Canada comes another sober article outlining the economic failures of Canada's Liberal government led by PM Justin Trudeau and now Marc Carney. Today all Members of Parliament will get a pay hike, whether they deserve or not. So, those backbencher MPs Canadians never hear from will get an increase of 4.2%, taking their base salaries to $211,000. The PM will receive $420,000 and ministers $300,000. No, it's not an April Fool's Day joke. Canadians surely wish it was. Here's the article by Real Women of Canada tilted, "Mark Carney Walks in the Footsteps of Justin Trudeau." We post the entry with permission. Everyone remembers when Justin Trudeau became prime minister in 2015. The election of a Liberal Government, under his leadership, was greeted with elation. Mar 30 Sacred art in the service of faith We post the art essay from the Magnificat's Holy Week liturgical reader. It's written by Jennifer Healy …
Political leaders in the West are no longer governing for the citizenry they ought to represent. No, they are governing for themselves and the oligarchs they serve. Canada is now a prime example. It’s one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to natural resources. However, the province of Alberta cannot sell their oil and gas openly on the market and to other provinces within Canada. This is intentional. Don’t be Canada.
At Gethsemane Jesus of Nazareth agreed to bear the Cross to his own Crucifixion so that following him to Heaven’s Gate would not be a burden of impossibility for us.
A Dutch professional volleyball player, who is also an LGBT activist, has been accused of sexually abusing boys. According to the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad (AD), the suspect is believed to be 35-year-old Ramon Martinez Gion, who is famous for being the first openly homosexual volleyball professional in the Netherlands. The Dynamo Apeldoorn player, who also played for the Dutch national team last summer, has reportedly been in custody since December 9. According to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM), Martinez is accused of abusing a 10-year-old boy in Hoogkerk, Groningen, in 2024. The OM also believes that he approached hundreds of boys online with sexually explicit messages between 2019 and 2024 as well as physically approached a nine-year-old boy in Kollum, Friesland, with sexual messages. The suspect is also said to possess a large collection of child pornography that he solicited from minors. The case is the latest in a series of incidents of homosexualsbeing …
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
“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored." Noelia Castillo, who was a sexual-assault survivor. After she was placed in a group home as a teenager she was gang raped by African migrants, leading her to try to take her own life by jumping from a building. She ended up paralyzed and eventually sought suicide. Her family tried to stop her and when that failed they took legal action. The State Departmentdirected the US Embassy in Madrid to probe how Spanish law enforcement handled repeated sexual attacks against Castillo before her death, according to a report from the New York Postciting a leaked diplomatic cable. “We are deeply concerned by allegations that Ms. Castillo was repeatedly sexually assaulted while under state care and that no perpetrators have been brought to justice,” the cable read. “We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia …
01.04.2026 CANONICAL PETITION: BISHOP MICHAEL T. MARTIN OFM Conv., DIOCESE OF CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA If I was living in the Diocese of Charlotte, I could file a canonical petition saying I interpret Vatican Council II rationally and Bishop Michael T. Martin irrationally and so politically. He has no right to be a bishop. I would say that the baptism of desire refers to an invisible case in 2026 for me, but is a visible, known person, saved outside the Catholic Church, in 2026, for the bishop. So Lumen Gentium 14 is an explicit exception for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Council of Florence 1442 etc) for Bishop Martin but not for me. He is in schism with the Magisterium and missionaries of the 16th century. For the Jesuits in the Middle Ages the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance, referred to hypothetical cases only. This is common sense. So for me the Athanasius Creed has no exceptions in Vatican Council II but for Bishop Martin explicit cases…More
Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14 In the Bible, there is always the Love of God, which is real, and evil, which is the separation from Love. Let us remember that the Love of God does no harm to anyone. In the time of Moses, a person who was not a believer was considered to be in evil. Fortunately, there has been an evolution in our understanding of God and humankind. A person’s ideal is to allow oneself to be loved by God. 1Co 11 :23-26 Paul reminds us of the grace of the Eucharist, God's meal for us. John 13:1-15 “He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.” God loves each person completely, 100%. The phrase in the present tense: God loves. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
'Woman who planned assisted suicide is ‘hanging on by just a thread’ and needs your help Tiffany Felkai is hanging on in hope of medical care and mobility support that will help manage her symptoms and allow her to be independent.'
Tue Mar 31, 2026 - 2:54 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian woman with debilitating illnesses who had previously decided to euthanize herself with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) has recently pulled herself back from the brink of killing herself, but she is in need of help with expenses for mobility, home accessibility, and medical care. “She’s hanging on by just a thread,” Lino DeFacendis, founder and CEO of Life Care Network, told LifeSiteNews. Help Tiffany Access Medical Care and Mobility Support Tiffany Felkai suffers from Cervical Cranial Instability and brain stem compression due to her genetic illness, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. This means the ligaments connecting her upper vertebrae and skull are loose, requiring a neck brace and causing a long list of symptoms, sometimes excruciating, that have included extreme headaches and paralysis. Tiffany was misdiagnosed for years by Canadian doctors. It wasn’t until she hired a medical case management agency and was sent to a U.S.-based …
On March 30, Pope Leo XIV appointed a new group of members to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, including bishops, clergy, religious figures, and lay academics. All of them are closely aligned with the priorities of the Francis era, such as mass immigration, "synodality", social justice, inculturation, and ecology. Archbishop Rogelio Cabrera López of Monterrey, Mexico Monsignor Cabrera publicly aligned himself with the pro-homosexual document Fiducia Supplicans. According to AciDigital.com (23 January 2024), he urged Catholics to read the document in a spirit of mercy and called for “affective and effective communion” with Pope Francis and his pastoral proposals . In his capacity as president of the Mexican bishops’ conference, he was also involved in submitting the "Mayan rite" to the Vatican for approval. Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera of Cusco, Peru Monsignor Estrada is the General Secretary of CELAM, the Latin American Bishops’ Council. In July …More
04/01/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. I know what the secret negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are about. Trump isn’t lying to us; he is actually holding talks about a ceasefire. Not necessarily with the people who hold real power in Iran, but still. Why hasn’t a single journalist managed to get close to these negotiators? The answer is simple: because it’s standard practice on the American side to eliminate all witnesses to the negotiations. According to the principle: A good negotiator is a dead negotiator. The Americans perfected this tactic long ago during negotiations with the Native Americans. I suspect they traditionally served the mediators firewater. In case anyone hasn’t noticed yet, I’d like to point out today’s date… Things are about to get a bit more serious from here on out. The idea of negotiations isn’t so bad. It could help Trump extricate himself with dignity from this conflict that his best friends talked him into. It could help, but it won’t do any …
6 Modern ‘30 Pieces of Silver’ We’re Tempted to Choose Instead of Jesus (and How to Let Them Go): How often do we exchange moments with Christ for worldly desires? As we remember Judas' betrayal of Jesus, let us reflect on ways we can turn back to Jesus when we deny him.
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD; Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (Aged 52-53); Cardinal; Teacher of the Faith; Seraphic Doctor; Doctor of the Church; Scholastic Theologian, Philosopher] “PSALM 25 Judge me, O Lady, for I have departed from my innocence: but because I have hoped in thee I shall not become weak. Enkindle my heart with the fire of thy love: and with the girdle of chastity bind my reins. For thy mercy and thy clemency are before my eyes: and I was delighted in the voice of thy praise. O Lady, I have loved the beauty of thy face: and I have revered thy sacred majesty. Praise ye her name, for she is holy: let her wonders be declared forever. Glory be to the Father, etc. PSALM 26 O Lady, may thy light be the splendor of my countenance: and let the serenity of thy grace shine upon my mind. Raise up my head: and I will sing a psalm to thy name. Turn not away thy face from me: for from my youth up I have greatly desired thy beauty and thy …More
"PSALM 31 Blessed are they whose hearts love thee, O Virgin Mary: their sins will be mercifully washed away by thee. Holy, chaste, and flowering are thy breasts: which blossomed into the flower of eternal greenness. The beauty of thy grace will never see corruption: and the grace of thy countenance will never fade. Blessed art thou, O sublime Rod of Jesse: for thou hast raised thyself unto Him who sits in the highest. O Virgin Queen, thou thyself art the way by which salvation from on high hath visited us. Glory be to the Father, etc.”
