Leo XIV appointed today two auxiliary bishops in the Archdiocese of Caracas, Venezuela. Monsignor José Manuel León (born 1966 in Barquisimeto) is a Passionist Father, was ordained to the priesthood on 19 March 1994 and is currently a parish priest. Pictured Monsignor José Dionisio Gómez Gouveia (born 1966 in La Guaira) is a diocesan priest of Caracas. He has served in multiple parishes, as a prison chaplain, and in seminary formation. "Beyond Traditions and Rites" Monsignor León's current parish Preciosísima Sangre is in eastern Caracas, near Petare and a slum area. His homilies are published on ParroquiaPreciosisimaSangre.wordpress.com. He uses a Francis-style pastoral tone with the buzzwords mercy, welcome, and fraternity. In a reflection from 8 July 2023, he wrote that Jesus moved beyond a religion sustained “only in traditions,” criticizes a faith reduced to rites, and says it is easy to “wash hands” while failing to extend them “for fraternal embrace.” He also attacks attachment …Күберәк
During a speech in Madrid, President Javier Milei did not hesitate to harshly criticize the government of Pedro Sánchez, stating that if the Spanish leader had control over monetary policy, Spain would be headed for an economic ruin even greater than that suffered by Argentina. Milei stressed that his country has suffered decades of interventionist policies and uncontrolled spending, which has led to high inflation, currency devaluation, and a weakening of citizens’ purchasing power. “If the disgraceful person you have in charge had power over monetary policy, Spain would be in a greater state of ruin than Argentina,” Milei said, referring directly to Sánchez, adding that Spanish economic management lacks fiscal discipline and control of public spending. The Argentine leader took the opportunity to defend the principles that have guided his government: reducing the size of the State, budgetary discipline, eliminating unproductive subsidies, and economic freedom as the engine of growth. …
VANCE addresses Joe Kent’s resignation: “Whether you’re the gardener at Mar-A-Lago or whether you’re the Secretary of State, the president cares about what you think about an issue….With that said, when the president of the United States makes a decision, it’s your job to make that decision as effective and successful as possible.”
If he cares about what you think....then respect Joe Kent...what a hypocrite...this mr. trump is turning out to be epitome of the mad hatter...and the other crazies in the Alice story ...
Fascinating document reveals crisis at the heart of the Emmanuel Community, a scandal magnet A nearly 200-page document, designed like a PowerPoint presentation, is circulating within the Emmanuel Community in France. Although anonymous, Bishop Hérouard reportedly asked the interim leaders of the community, which is currently undergoing an apostolic visitation at the request of some members, to distribute it to the members. This document could also be of interest to any community or association of the faithful experiencing tensions, or even undergoing a canonical or apostolic visitation, or receiving guidance from external ecclesiastical figures. “Our community is going through an important stage in its existence, which concerns all of us as members. This stage requires a personal and communal examination of conscience: each member is responsible for the Emmanuel Community, for what it is, what it experiences, the fruit it bears—and its mistakes.” We must reflect on our experiences, …
It might be a good idea to have an apostolic visitation of the Vatican in relation to the disastrous pastoral council of Vat II. The section on receiver blockages is VERY familiar.
Fr. Robert Prevost (Leo XIV) has participated in a Pachamama “Mother Earth” ritual while attending an Augustinian theological symposium in 1995, reports LifeSiteNews.com (March 18). The scandal was uncovered by Fr. Charles Murr. Three Augustinian priests have confirmed to him that Robert Prevost is clearly visible among the kneeling participants in the photo. None of the three were present at the 1995 ritual itself. They recognized their confrere from the published image. The photo appeared in the proceedings of the “Lectura de San Agustín desde América Latina” (São Paulo, January 23-28, 1995), published as the book Ecoteología: Una Perspectiva desde San Agustín (México, 1996). The official caption beneath the photo of kneeling participants reads: “Celebration of the Rite of Pachamama (Mother Earth), which is an agricultural rite offered by the cultures of the South-Andean region in Peru and Bolivia.” More Photos From Same Symposium The same volume includes a large group photograph …Күберәк
I got to the Andes in Argentina a few years after this. Among the clergy the general pastoral practice was to treat the Pachamama as a superstition that needed to be eliminated. Even the left leaning clergy treated it with a paternalistic tolerance. It was an anthropological phenomenon of simple people a few generations removed from hunting and gathering. The missionary would play along with local customs like a dad plays pretend with his 4 year old talking to his stuffed animal. Often the locals would play with it like a good luck charm. Very few would take it seriously. Feminists and communists would feign to take it seriously just because it was transgressive. They were not for the Pachamama but were against male-normative, sexist society.
Is this a surprise? I mean, Prevost never denounce those worshiping pachamama in the Vatican the 1st time, as a matter of fact MOST priests didn’t... This is why we need to pray for priests for them to shake off their cowardice and omission.
Does this make any sense to anybody? But then if you look back at how the British, like the Americans have behaved during and after the wars..not counting their colonies, are we surprised?
This Question Will Define Your Eternity The time of favor and salvation is now, as promised in the book of Isaiah and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We must personally answer the question of Jesus’ identity: is He a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord? Our baptismal covenant with Christ defines us, and we must embrace this truth in our hearts, not just our heads. Fr.

The life of the Church has been marked for decades by a doctrinal confusion, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told the Spanish Youtube channel ‘El Debate’ on March 18. As the root, he identifies doctrinal relativism, which he links to the modernist movement. It infiltrated the church in the early 1900s and spread gradually, especially using the Second Vatican Council as a kind of catalyst. Accordign to Bishop Schneider, this tendency has grown over the past sixty years: “Today, especially with the previous pontificate of Pope Francis, we have the culmination of this movement of doctrinal relativism - that is, the idea that truth is not always the same.” Two Consequences of Relativism From relativism follows for Schneider the danger of naturalism. This outlook gives primacy to natural, temporal and social issues and reduces the need for supernatural grace. Another consequence is religious syncretism. If truth is relative and human beings are already fundamentally good, then it becomes easy …Күберәк

If you hear something for 7 times, and your brain/memory doesn't actively react to it (refusing it) YOU WILL BELIEVE IT, even if it's 90% lies and only 10% truth. This is the recipe of propaganda. This is why propaganda works. The Nazis knew this. The Communists knew this. The Muslims know this. If you fall for propaganda, it's basically because you are not rooted in Truth. You may follow religion, but it's not God whom you serve: you serve "religion" (human thoughts about God), not God Himself (in a daily, personal relationship). The Holy Spirit is your friend. But you need to ASK for discernment!
Kardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has reopened the parish church Thomas Morus in Munich-Sendling with a Eucharist on Sunday. The renovation project began in 2021 and cost approximately €17.9 million. Works included repairs to the roof, façade, technical systems, and the large stained-glass window at the front of the church. The most significant change is the addition of a parish hall on an emporium inside the church, complete with a kitchenette. This new structure is separated from the church interior by a large glass construction.
Am Sonntag, 15. März, wirde die Pfarrkirche St. Thomas Morus in München-Sendling nach umfassender Sanierung wieder eröffnet. Den Gottesdienst feierte Kardinal Reinhard Marx.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 5,17-30. Jesus answered the Jews: "My Father is at work until now, so I am at work." For this reason the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God. Jesus answered and said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also. For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes. Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to his Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes …Күберәк
