Cardinal Cupich and Leo XIV Share Ecclesial Vision and Devotion for Francis: Pro-homosexual Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told homosex activist James Martin SJ on April 21 that he has a decade-long relationship with Pope Leo XIV and often borrows his language when commenting on political events. Cupich recalled that Prevost attended his 2014 installation as archbishop of Chicago. They grew closer when Prevost became a member of the Congregation for Bishops and later became prefect: “He had been here at Holy Name Cathedral a couple of times to visit with me, we had lunch here… We have a very good history together working on important projects and had a great devotion to Pope Francis.”
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich said this week that he has worked closely with Pope Leo XIV for years and often draws on the pontiff’s language when speaking on political issues. Appearing on Father James Martin’s podcast, Cupich said his relationship with Leo dates back to 2014 and deepened through their shared service on the Dicastery for Bishops. “We have a very good history together working on important projects,” Cupich said, adding that both shared “a great devotion to Pope Francis.”
Imposters! They pretend to be Catholic while all the time betraying Our Savior! It is these who are in true schism ,denying the authority of Christ Himself and the Church. How can there be Unity with evil doers ? Prayer and penance not social justice is the constant refrain of Our Lady who pleads for us in heaven. Pray for them but " treat them like tax collectors and publicans". St Marcel Lefevbre pray for us.
St. John Vianney ~~~ To keep our purity, we must be like a soldier in a battle. We must watch our eyes, for it is through the eyes that the enemy enters the heart...
Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing." When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal …Mer
When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal consecration in the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X is labelled a schismatic act."
Pope Leo XIV just referred to Pope Francis as having "entered heaven." That's not how the Catholic Church has ever spoken about a deceased pontiff. Tradition demands prayer for the dead — not presumptive sainthood without formal canonization. This episode of Faith and Reason investigates the growing controversy. The hosts argue that Leo's language signals a dangerous departure from established doctrine — and they trace it back to Francis's own influence. Accounts suggest Francis considered Leo a "saint" before he even became pope and played a major role in his rapid rise through Church ranks. The picture is clear: the Church is facing a deep internal crisis over doctrine, identity, and its relationship with the modern world. Again Pope Leo Says Francis is in Heaven – Canonization Coming Soon?
Ken Klippenstein writes on April 24 the truism that the U.S. has long maintained extensive intelligence and security monitoring of the Vatican. The used agencies are the CIA, NSA, FBI, and State Department. - The CIA is represented in the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican and the Agency has been penetrating the Vatican government and diplomatic corps for years. It has human spies working inside the Holy See bureaucracy. - The NSA intercepts Vatican communications, emails, and texts, working independently and through a joint NSA/CIA “Special Collection Service.” - The FBI investigates crimes committed against and by the Vatican. It also regularly provides threat intelligence to the Pope during his travels. FBI documents show that the first Trump administration sought to beef up its coordination with Italian intelligence agencies and Vatican officials on things like cyber security, white collar crime, human trafficking, art theft and other issues. - The State Department closely follows the ins …Mer
If Ken Klippenstein is 38 yrs old, then he was 4 yrs old when Bill Clinton became President. During the Clinton Presidency there was a row between JPII and Clinton himself. Clinton promised JPII that he opposed international funding of abortion. Clinton's promises don't come with a guarantee, and soon he “forgot” all about his promise. Afterwards, JPII publicly opposed Clinton's abortion policy. Clinton's reply came weeks later. The US embassy building to the Holy See was closed, and the office(s) moved to the Embassy to the State of Italy. The BS excuse was that it would save money.
Anglican Lay-Archbishopessa Blesses at Tomb of St Peter: Today, Sarah Mullally, who holds the title of Anglican Archbishop of Westminster, visited St Peter’s basilica. She prayed at the tomb of St Peter together with Archbishop Flavio Pace, 48, Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian unity and blessed those present. Archbishop Pace crossed himself. On Monday, Leo XIV will receive Mrs Mullally in audience.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35; Women should remain silent in the Churches; they are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law also says. If they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in the Church.
φ, π, and e are not merely constants used in equations, but the three primordial modes of mathematical existence. They function as the architectural trinity from which all structures, dimensions, constants, laws, values, and physical manifestations arise.
For those who want to read about the novel approach to the Theology/Ontology. Here is an easy to read (no Math) article from my website, pointing to existence of the Most Holy Trinity where 'proof' is based on mathematics/physics. "The universe is not governed by arbitrary physical laws. It is governed by pre-existing mathematical relations." "Mathematics reflects the eternal, unchanging order of the Holy Trinity." 3005.

Lazarus Peter Kalamation.com Thank you for the kind words. There is still a lot of work to be done (about 1/3 is done now). But yes, the design by God is included, built-in every piece of reality. Also, I will show later that this rule includes life (DNA carries the same information and behaves exactly like other constants from 'non-alive' realms of nature).
I believe Catholicism is reality. The Gospels and Resurrection. Peer-reviewed observations. The Holy Trinity is Divine Revelation but you are showing us Concept is provable nature.
Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.

They have been influenced for many years by Pachamama spirituality and liberation theology. As a result, they genuinely believe much of what they promote and speak about. The real issue is that they should never have been allowed anywhere near the Vatican, let alone placed in positions of authority at its very center. Therefore, cardinals and bishops—who *should* know better—are an even greater concern. Lukewarm Catholics are problematic. Lukewarm clergy are even worse. Shame on them.
Chris Jackson rightly wrote (Hiraeth in exile): So what are we supposed to believe? That the Church “long considered” an attack on human dignity to be morally acceptable? That Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors, the Roman Catechism, and centuries of Catholic rulers all endorsed something intrinsically contrary to the dignity of man until Francis, of all people, corrected the moral theology of Christendom?
Christian pastor is arrested for 'criticising Islam' while preaching in Watford town centre - as police officer tells him 'in the name of Jesus, get in the car' A video of a 66‑year‑old Christian pastor, Steve Maile, being arrested in Watford town centre has gone viral. He was preaching, singing hymns and pop songs adapted to a Christian message. Pastor Maile, a grandfather with no criminal record, was arrested after briefly criticising Islam and LGBT lifestyles while preaching, something he says he has done peacefully for decades. Footage shows multiple police officers converging on him within seconds, placing him in handcuffs in full view of the public and his family. The arresting officer arguably mocks the Christian faith by saying to him before putting him in the police car: 'In Jesus name get in the car.'
Il pastore Steve Maile è un esempio per tutti quei pusillanimi che hanno paura di predicare il vangelo e dire la Verità. Dove è andata a finire la libertà di espressione?
Questo poliziotto deve essere licenziato e arrestato, perchè non si può arrestare nessuno in nome di Gesù, ha violato le regole, non è degno di fare il poliziotto, vada a pulire i cessi pubblici.
On 23 April, Bishop emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on X.com on the homosexual 'blessing' in the Archdiocese of Munich: "This is evil and must be opposed by every faithful Catholic. Woe to so-called shepherds who lead the sheep astray. Rome should speak clearly and immediately but all I hear is silence. Blessing sin is the complete opposite of love." Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has instructed all priests and full-time pastoral staff in the archdiocese to perform, enable or facilitate 'blessings' of same-sex and adulterous couples. #newsRyvhmffviq
@chris griffin I guess you just don't understand what I post or what I'm about now do you? It is clear you can't make the connection between abortion and the "Errors of Russia." And you can't make the connection between Our Lady of Fatima and Her words, "only I can help you." I really don't understand how that is lying? God bless you!

Today, Leo XIV visited a notorious prison in Bata, Equatorial Guinea as part of his Africa tour. Inmates gathered in the courtyard, singing, dancing, and cheering, despite being soaked due to heavy rain. Leo XIV prayed with them and gave an Apostolic Blessing. Prisoners reportedly shouted things like “Freedom!” and “Libertad!” during the visit.

Leaving the video and a new video from Iran. New security footage released by the Iranian Red Crescent on Sunday provides a harrowing account of an airstrike hitting a civilian hospital in Tehran amid the ongoing 2026 conflict. The precision blast, which Tehran officials attribute to joint U.S. and Israeli forces, sent shockwaves through a neonatal unit and intensive care wards, forcing medical staff to evacuate newborn infants from incubators manually as power systems failed. The Iranian Red Crescent has labeled the incident a "catastrophic blow" to civilian infrastructure and a violation of medical neutrality. While military sources maintain that strikes have targeted adjacent IRGC naval assets, the footage documents systemic damage to the Valiasr Hospital and the Shahid Rajaei medical complex, leaving thousands without immediate access to critical care.

The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, commented on the July 1 episcopal consecrations in an in-house interview with LaPorteLatine.org. Key lines. - The episcopal consecrations… are not a rebellion, but the response to a cruel necessity. - Cardinals Gerhard Müller, Robert Sarah, and other bishops suffer from a typically modern malaise: an inability to reconcile the demands of faith with those of canon law, leading to a kind of paralyzing dichotomy. - The FSSPX holds that these principles must not simply be juxtaposed, but hierarchized - one subordinated to the other. - The ‘rigorous’ canonists still consider the FSSPX schismatic — this is how one must understand the statements of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. - Bishop Athanasius Schneider has shown great courage and freedom of speech… his support will go down in history. - I thank Bishop Joseph Strickland for his message full of strength, clarity, and courage. - Bishop Vitus Huonder,…Mer
Boston Marathon delivers an unforgettable human moment | Shalom World News Near the final stretch of the Boston Marathon, where exhaustion meets determination and every second matters, a quiet act of humanity unfolded that transcended competition. On April 20, as runners pushed toward the finish line with every remaining ounce of strength, one athlete suddenly cramped up and faltered just a few steps away from the finish line. In a moment where instinct could have urged them forward, two fellow competitors chose something greater than victory. They slowed down, turned back, and lifted a struggling runner toward the finish. In a race defined by speed, they chose compassion. In a moment ruled by personal ambition, they chose kindness. What makes the scene especially moving is that these were not casual participants but competitive runners, athletes who understand the cost of every second, every place, every finish. Yet they surrendered precious time and position without hesitation. For a …Mer
