During today’s Regina Caeli prayer, Leo XIV paid tribute to his predecessor for his “great witness of faith and love.” Francis died on Easter Monday last year (April 21, 2025) at the age of 88. Leo XIV said, “In the light of the Risen Lord, we remember Pope Francis today with special affection.” Fittingly, he warned that the truth is often obscured by fake news, “that is, by lies, insinuations, and unfounded suspicions.” #newsTqowhltbxb

Not the Catholic Faith obviously. In a sense though he was in that when you depart from the true Faith you become increasingly unhinged. We witnessed that for sure.
The British journalist Melanie Phillips (who has written for The Guardian and The Times, among others) explains clearly how Western societies came to accept lies as truth. Following the experience of totalitarian structures in the 20th century, society rejected any external authority on principle. As a result, the hierarchy among opinions, values, worldviews and cultures also disappeared. Nothing could be better or worse than anything else. No lifestyle, no family background, no national culture, no religion. Anyone who failed to understand this was a racist. As a result, a liberal society could no longer claim to be better than an unfree society. The only thing that mattered was what the individual person felt. Their feelings were more important than any facts, because they used them to create their own reality. With that, the idea of an objective truth was done away with.
I agree with this, but I don't agree that it started with the Nazis. Nazism was a reaction to what was going on in Russia, which was based on the revolutionary philosophy of Karl Marx, which resulted in the Bolshevik Revolution lead by Vladimir Lennon in 1917. The Bolsheviks killed tens of millions before Hitler ever came to power. Before that, this idea was put forward in 1789 during the French Revolution, which was basically a revolt against the authoritarianism of the Church and the King. We all saw where that went during the Summer Olympics. There were dictatorships in Italy under Mussolini and in Spain under Franco at the same time as Hitler in Germany. It's kind of dumb to continually attribute everything bad in the world to Hitler and the Nazis, whose total demonization is, at least in part, due to war and Jewish propaganda. Let's not forget that the current occupants in Rome, posing as the Catholic Church, firmly advocate for relativism and situation ethics (under the guise of …વધારે
The Ukrainian leader honored the top EU diplomat for supporting forced mobilization, corruption, and church raids, Russia has said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has received a prominent Ukrainian award for encouraging prolonged fighting, forced mobilization, and supporting a crackdown on the country’s largest Christian denomination, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has said. Earlier this week, Zelensky decorated Kallas – widely regarded as an anti-Russia hawk – with the Order of Princess Olga, as the two discussed EU support for Kiev. Princess Olga of the Kievan Rus was the first Christian ruler of the realm, establishing contact with Byzantium in the 10th century and paving the way for the mass baptism of Rus under her grandson Prince Vladimir in 988 AD. Kallas said she was honored by the award, adding that “Ukraine has been on my mind every day since Russia started its war of aggression.” She acknowledged, however, that she had no positive update for Kiev …વધારે

[St. Anthony of Padua XII-XIII Century AD; Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/Padua, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 35); powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick; canonized less than a year after his death; Doctor of the Church] 9 ~ St. Saint Anthony Consoler of persecuted Women St. Anthony always took a great interest in women in- distress, or persecuted, and they therefore look on him as their special protector. Among those who, owing to the sanctity of the Franciscans, held them in great veneration and aided them in their daily wants, was a lady who suffered much from a jealous and irritable husband. One evening, after finishing some work and making some purchases for the Brothers, finding it too late to take them to the monastery that night, she took them home with her. This so greatly roused the anger and jealousy of her husband that, not content with loading her with reproaches, he pulled almost all her hair off her head. The poor …વધારે
"12 ~ The Carved Capon St. Anthony was one day invited by a party of heretics to come to dine with them, in order, as they said, to give them the opportunity of laughing at his stupidity. He good-naturedly accepted their invitation. After sit ting down to table a large bat, such as are found in Sicily, was served up to him, with the request to carve it. When, without being the least disconcerted, he began to do so, they could hardly refrain from laughing aloud; but soon their laughter was changed into astonishment, for hardly had the saint begun to carve the wretched bird before it was changed into a magnificent capon, emitting the most delicious smell. This miracle so completely changed their hearts that they not only acknowledged the power of the servant of God, but renounced their errors and were received into the Church.”
Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.

@tbswv No battle against NWO in Poland. One main clique is pro-EU, the other pro-Zionist. In 2020-2022 political mentors and sponsors of Mr. Nawrocki introduced sanitazism closing churches in Poland in Holy Week, persecuting priests and sending 250k of Poles to the afterlife. Now, elections of 2027 are coming so his mother neo-conservative clique will do anything to buy votes and regain power.
[AR - DE - EN - ES - FR - IT - PL - PT] GOOD FRIDAY THE PASSION OF THE LORD THE WAY OF THE CROSS COLOSSEUM ROME, 3 APRIL 2026 [Multimedia] Introduction The Way of the Cross winds through the narrow streets in the Old City of Jerusalem, allowing us to retrace Jesus’ path from the place of his condemnation to that of his crucifixion and burial, which is also the site of his resurrection. This route is not reserved for the devout or those seeking a quiet space for prayer. Rather, as in the time of Jesus, we find ourselves walking through a chaotic, distracting and noisy environment, surrounded by people who share our faith in him, but also by those who deride or insult him. Such is the reality of our daily life. The Way of the Cross is not intended for those who lead a pristinely pious or abstractly recollected life. Instead, it is the exercise of one who knows that faith, hope and charity must be incarnated in the real world, where the believer faces ongoing challenges and must …
On Good Friday in Clonmel, hundreds joined the Way of the Cross to Holy Cross Hill. Led barefoot by Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan, the pilgrimage,organised by Indian Catholics, reflected unity, devotion and shared faith.
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

And isn't this the same apostate who wishes Muslims a Happy Ramadan? And who congratulates an Anglican heretic? And who allows himself to be subjected to the incantations of shamans? All while brazenly presenting himself as the pope of all false religions—and, moreover, demanding to be recognized as Pope.
At least 7 Christians were killed when Islamist terrorists struck two churches during Easter Sunday services in Ariko community, Kachia LGA, Kaduna State, Nigeria, on April 5. Several people were abducted, while the Nigerian army later rescued 31 civilians. Reports indicate the attack targeted a Catholic and an evangelical church.

**The Patristic and Scholastic Consensus Against the Modern Idolatry of the Marriage Bed: Marriage Is the Indissoluble Bond of Wills, Not the Operations of the Flesh** The Church Fathers and the great Scholastic theologians present a unified, sober, and supernatural vision of holy matrimony that stands in radical opposition to much contemporary Catholic teaching and pastoral rhetoric. In the tradition from **St. Augustine** through the Scholastics (including **Peter Lombard** and preeminently **St. Thomas Aquinas**), the **essence** of the sacrament of marriage resides in the **mutual consent** that forms the indissoluble bond (*vinculum*) of fidelity between husband and wife. This covenant of wills is the primal reality: it images the union of Christ and the Church, confers sacramental grace, and sanctifies the spouses independently of any carnal act. The three goods of marriage—**offspring** (*proles*), **fidelity** (*fides*), and the **sacramental bond** (*sacramentum*)—flow from …વધારે
