Introduction of monogamy in Africa was an “injustice.” German bishops’ website highlights defense of polygamy. Katholisch.de, the German bishops’ news portal, yesterday promoted the favorable views on polygamy of Father Égide Muziazia from Münster. Originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Muziazia has lived in Germany since 2006 and was ordained in 2011. “Polygamy in Africa is neither merely a moral failing nor a sign of moral backwardness. Rather, it is a social institution embedded in a comprehensive network of kinship, alliance-building, and the transmission of life,” he said. The encounter with Christian missionaries led to a “head-on cultural clash,” according to Muziazia. “Monogamy was demanded as a prerequisite for baptism. The monogamous marriage thus became the hallmark of the exemplary Christian—with the result that the ‘surplus’ wives were often cast aside - an injustice committed in the name of the Gospel.” The priest praises the Vatican Synod Secretariat’s …بیشتر
Well, if they aren't. Why should Russia keep it's side while NATO keeps hitting Russia. It make no sense for Russia to keep their side every time. They should know by now, they don't want any peace for anyone. Especially for them. It will never stop no matter what Russia does to seek peace. The US and NATO will not stop as they play games and provoke Russia as they have, time and time again.
In the 2017 horror film El Habitante, a fictional news report announces the death of Pope Leo XIV from septicemia and irreversible cardiopulmonary collapse after a week in hospital. Eight years later, Robert Prevost adopted the same papal name. Director Guillermo Amoedo explained that he wrote the script in 2015, drawing on the prophecies of St. Malachy and Hildegard of Bingen, apocryphal theories, and the history of antipopes. He described the coincidence as the result of historical and religious research, not a supernatural prediction. The film does not establish any real-world prophecy.
In a chilling sequence from the 2017 horror film El Habitante (The Inhabitant), a television news report announces the death of a fictional Pope Leo XIV after a week in the hospital, citing septicemia and irreversible cardiopulmonary collapse.
Fr Dom Francis gives a reflection on the message given by our Lord Jesus Christ to Rev Sr Mary Ursula Osinakachi. Jesus Christ asks us to be prepared before we receive Him, go to confession. Approach Him with love, We are to place Jesus at the centre of our lives and hearts and acknowledge God's presence always. #blessedsacrament#jesuschrist#visionary#meditation#reflectionsoftheday#christianity#viralshorts
Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's! Gospel of 18 of October - Sunday XXIX of the Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, in the passage from the Gospel of Matthew that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, October 18, warns us against the hypocritical attitude to contrast the correct autonomy of earthly realities with the sovereignty of God. In fact, when we put God first in our lives, the Spirit of Jesus who lives in us through the greatest power of Love makes us capable of directing all the riches of creation, without destroying the planet, to the glory of God and the common good.
Leo XIV appoints prelate to major Archdicoese in Slovakia. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Marek Forgáč, 52, as Archbishop of Košice, Slowakia. He has been Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Košice since 2016. Košice has nearly 500 priests and 700k Catholics. A psychologist with a doctorate in social psychology, Archbishop Forgáč considers psychology to be a source of truth. In a 2024 interview, he recalled meeting a homosexual man whom several priests had refused to receive. Deeply moved by his “suffering”, Forgáč listened to the homosexual and gave him a blessing. When asked about blessings for homosexuals, the bishop emphasised compassion and the importance of pro-homosexual psychology: “Psychology helps us greatly, not only in our concrete approach to a person, but also in understanding the truth.” After admitting that there “are universal norms” he added a “but” to say that “we need to see the concrete person standing before us.” “Sometimes that person's story may …بیشتر
Vatican confirms Pope Leo had a 'peaceful night' in hospital after cancer surgery | BBC News The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Leo XIV had a ‘peaceful night’ in hospital after surgery to remove a lower lobe of his right lung on Tuesday. The pontiff is expected to remain in Rome's Gemelli Hospital for about a week before returning to work. The 71-year-old underwent a 90-minute surgery on Tuesday and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, a form of lung cancer. Leo had announced his surgery to a crowd in St Peter’s Square on Sunday, telling them doctors had found a nodule on his lung. Although nodules are quite common and often benign, the Vatican said that a pre-operative examination of Pope Leo’s suggested it to be cancerous. Cardinal Kikuchi Tarcisio Isao of Tokyo said he met with Leo on Monday and that Leo explained he felt physically fine, and had opted for the surgery as soon as possible so as not to delay a planned trip to Latin America in early November. The trip …بیشتر
4K views · 115 reactions | Pope Leo REJECTS Catholic Teaching with Death Penalty Stance Pope Leo XIV has condemned capital punishment, but Frank Wright argues that this conflicts with centuries of Catholic teaching and the positions of earlier popes and theologians, including St. Thomas Aquinas. The Church's historical acceptance of capital punishment under certain circumstances reflects a coherent understanding of justice, authority, and the common good. Presenting contemporary political preferences as Catholic doctrine risks undermining the Church's credibility among believers and nonbelievers alike. Wright expands his criticism: the Vatican's increasingly progressive political rhetoric reflects liberal internationalism rather than traditional Catholic social teaching. He connects this ideological shift to mass migration, permanent warfare, secular humanism, and what he calls a dangerous tendency toward "DIY religion"—where established teachings are reshaped to accommodate modern …بیشتر
Death penalty has always bothered me. It's hard for me to accept. I will leave just a few verses. A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. I thought every life was precious. And I believe that. We can't say, we are pro life, EXCEPT this or that person. Either we are totally for it, or we are against it. I can't put the two together. Pro life and Pro death. How in the world does this make sense to anyone?
In September, Rev Fernando Hernandez of the church St. Patrick's in Newburgh, New York, ended a Eucharist by putting on a Mexican national soccer team jersey. He supported Mexico ahead of its September 26 friendly against Colombia. The match ended 1–1.

Bebo’s FriendsItaly Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: The support provided to Ukraine is not a substitute for peace; rather, it is what makes peace possible. For if the aggressor can aim to force the opponent’s surrender, what is the point of negotiating? Surrender is not peace; it is conquest. If Ukraine were to stop defending itself tomorrow, as many hope and propose, we would not achieve peace; rather, we would be discussing the occupation of a European state and a return to a form of imperialism modelled on the Soviet Union – something Europe experienced for half a century. The peace we want is a just peace, and only this kind of peace can endure and protect Europe and our interests. Therefore, the government’s position remains unchanged: support for Kyiv, pressure on Moscow, and European-Atlantic unity. So, this means more support for Saudi Arabia via Ukraine?... Zelensky will be thrilled from London to hear this.
Nut jobs how they can twist it to dupe the people. PEACE is peace. President Putin has kept everything he has signed with everyone. Even though the rest tore up everything. These people are vicious blood thirsty, greedy, hateful people. War mongers who don't care if everyone dies. they are safe from it all. What a surprise they will get later on once they "try" to destroy Russia and attack her at once.
The Spanish surgeon behind the technique used in the Pope's lung operation says Leo XIV may not need further cancer treatment. Spanish thoracic surgeon Diego González Rivas, whose team developed the minimally invasive technique used to operate on Leo XIV, says the Pontiff is recovering well. González Rivas developed the single-incision uniportal VATS technique in 2010 and trained surgeons at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Pope's operation was performed Tuesday by a team led by Professor Stefano Margaritora, head of thoracic surgery at Gemelli. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung after detecting an early-stage adenocarcinoma. González Rivas contacted the medical team Wednesday morning and learned that the Pope was already in a regular hospital ward and pain-free. Speaking to Spanish radio station COPE, he described the prognosis as very good, saying early surgery offers a high chance of cure. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy will probably not be needed, depending on pathology …بیشتر

2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.
At the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told a story about Cardinal Joseph Zen, the 94-year-old Bishop Emeritus of Hong Kong. Asked years ago for his favorite chant, Zen named the Sexagesima introit and sang it with devotion: “Exsurge, quare obdormis, Domine?” (“Arise, why do you sleep, O Lord?”). Schneider said Zen once tried to explain an important matter to a cardinal in Rome who stayed “stubborn and impassive.” So Zen sang the same chant to him, as if to say, “Awake! Why are you sleeping?” Neither man named the cardinal or the date. Schneider shared the story while speaking of an “unprecedented” crisis in the Church. He urged Catholics not to give in to anger or discouragement, and to “awaken the Lord” through prayer, sacrifice, and reparation. Zen has now publicly thanked him on X. Which sacred hymn or chant means the most to you?
Cardinal Joseph Zen has welcomed Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s reflections on a “hostile takeover” within the Catholic Church. “Thank you, Bishop Schneider, for sharing such an interesting anecdote and your reflections,” Cardinal Zen wrote on X on October 11. Zen was referring to Schneider’s recollection of a conversation between the two prelates, during which Zen revealed that his favourite Gregorian chant was the Introit for Sexagesima Sunday: “Exsúrge, quare obdórmis, Dómine?” - “Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord?” Bishop Schneider recalled how Zen had explained that the melody places particular emphasis on Exsúrge — “Arise!” — conveying an urgent appeal for divine intervention. Schneider also recounted an incident in Rome in which Cardinal Zen had attempted to persuade another cardinal on an important matter concerning the Church. When the other cardinal remained stubborn and unimpressed, Zen began singing the same Gregorian chant directly to him: “Wake up, why are you sleeping? Wake up!” …بیشتر
Pope Leo XIV’s older brother, Louis Prevost, discussed the pontiff’s reported lung cancer and shares an update on his condition following surgery. He said he spoke to the Pope before he went into the surgery but hasn’t spoken to him directly following the news of his diagnosis: “It was quite a shock especially from my younger brother, my youngest brother because I’m undergoing cancer treatment myself..to hear that he had that nodule on his lung it was kind of nerve-wracking, shaky…but speaking to him, you know that’s when he told me..well I said, was it life-threatening, 'no', does it seem serious, 'no, they think it's early enough it's small it should be relatively easy surgery'…so we were all in high-hopes and high spirits hoping for the best.
