Canadian Miriam Lancaster, 84, went to a hospital in Vancouver late March with severe back pain. She told EWTN that before any tests or diagnosis, a doctor offered assisted suicide: “The very first thing she said to me was: ‘I would like to offer you MAiD.’” She had come for treatment and responded: “No, thank you.” Lancaster added that her husband had previously been told the same and had replied: “There is no way that we are going to take measures to end our life. That is in the hands of the Lord.” A few years later she gave the same response.
When Miriam Lancaster went to the hospital for severe back pain, she was stunned to be offered euthanasia instead of real care. In this conversation, she shares how that moment exposed a terrifying shift in our culture: suffering patients are being treated as problems to “solve,” not persons to love. She says, her husband had also been offered assisted su*cide a few years earlier as well. From a Catholic perspective, Miriam’s story is a stark reminder that every life—especially when it’s fragile, disabled, or in pain—is precious, unrepeatable, and entrusted to us by God, not the state or the medical system. Her witness challenges us to build a society that offers compassion, accompaniment, and authentic palliative care, never a lethal injection disguised as “dignity.”
Goku @ProjectGokuu Dr. Roger Seheult just revealed one of the biggest studies on sunlight. A massive Swedish study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and found that those who actively sought sun exposure had dramatically lower death rates from cancer, heart disease, and all causes. The shocking part? Sun avoiders had roughly double the overall mortality. Even heavy smokers who got plenty of sun had similar death rates to non-smokers who avoided it. Sunlight appears to extend life through vitamin D, nitric oxide, and immune support - yet we're still told to hide from it. Are you getting enough sun? — Dr. Roger Seheult (@RogerSeheult) on Steven Bartlett’s (@StevenBartlett) DOAC podcast

"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist.

Expired ad quinquennium mandate On Saturday, February 20, 2021, the Holy See made public his appointment ad quinquennium, which means that Pope Leo XIV should have made the decision whether to renew it or not. The Pope has told him that he is not counting on him However, there has been no public announcement so far regarding his continued tenure as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica and his other positions. In this context, with his appointment already expired, Vatican sources have told Religión Confidencial that the Pope has informed the Italian cardinal that he is not counting on him and does not plan to renew his appointment as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica.

Stone slab where Jesus was laid after Crucifixion | Shalom World News In the hushed stillness of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre rests a simple stone, revered as the place where the body of Jesus Christ was laid after the Crucifixion. Known as the Stone of Anointing, it stands as a silent witness to the love poured out in suffering—where sacrifice became the seed of redemption. Pilgrims do not come here looking for grandeur, but for an encounter. Tradition holds that Christ’s wounded body was prepared upon this slab—His mission fulfilled, His silence speaking louder than words. Over centuries, it has absorbed tears, prayers, and the weight of human sorrow. For believers, it is a stark reminder that salvation is not distant or symbolic, but deeply real and painfully human. Yet today, this sacred ground lies beneath the shadow of unrest. Across the Holy Land, violence fractures lives and disrupts the fragile rhythm of prayer. The land that bore the weight of Christ’s suffering now …Ossotina

“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 …
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Paola Fanelli on April 1 as Director of the Directorate for Personnel of the Holy See, a role within the Secretariat for the Economy. She takes over responsibility for personnel policy across Vatican dicasteries. There is no public record of her expressing views on Catholic teaching. She brings a background in organizational change and human resources. Her institutional background is rooted within BNL BNP Paribas (banking). Notably, she took part, as a BNL representative, in a closed-door think tank in 2018 organized by UNICEF Italy. Fanelli's position has, because of its unique weight, a somewhat unusual history. On March 6, 2020, the Holy See Press Office announced that such an office had been established, in a reform effort backed by Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich. But the next day, the same office clarified that it remained merely a proposal under consideration. The idea stalled at the time, amid internal resistance and broader reform turbulence.

though they feel like gods, they are only footstools of evil. Remember — your soul is the most important. Remember — your salvation depends on your decisions. Remember that you will not defend yourself by saying you listened to others — even if he were called a pope. If he is a liar — he is only a liar. If he is a blasphemer — he is only a blasphemer. If he is a heretic — he is only a heretic. No human titles can change that.
