Good news! Finally the people can get help from the Russian soldiers. Ukraine (I Hope) will not try to prevent or kill them for helping the people as they have been.
Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar presented Pope Leo XIV with shoes made by Slovenian manufacturer Alpina during her Vatican visit on October 26. “They are very famous for their cross-country skiing shoes, and I also gave him some nice moccasins to wear in his leisure time,” she said, according to ACI Stampa. During their nearly 40-minute audience, Pirc Musar formally invited the Pope to visit Slovenia. She later said she understood he would find time to visit within the next two years, although no date was confirmed.

Dutch Bishop Rob Mutsaerts has challenged Cardinal Arthur Roche’s position on the original Latin Mass (VitaminExp.blogspot.com, October 24). Cardinal Roche had warned that some Catholic groups use the original liturgy to oppose Vatican II’s reforms and argued that Catholics should not attend exclusively the Mass. The auxiliary bishop of ’s-Hertogenbosch replied that attachment to the Roman liturgy cannot be equated with opposition to Church authority or rejection of Vatican II. The Church recognises numerous ancient liturgical traditions, including the Byzantine, Maronite, Armenian and Chaldean rites: “Why is almost every ancient Catholic liturgical tradition considered a treasure, except the ancient Roman liturgy?” Bishop Mutsaerts asked. The Church was not founded anew in 1965, he wrote. It remains the same Church that received the faith from the Apostles, produced the Church Fathers, built medieval cathedrals and held the Council of Trent. Bishop Mutsaerts also warned that postconciliar …ଅଧିକ
The Dangerous Deception Of Lukewarm Christianity St. Paul reminds us that we are children of light, called to live a holy life in Christ. However, many of us choose darkness over light, compromising with the world and giving in to sin. We must choose to live as children of light, allowing God’s grace to fill us and shine through us, or remain in darkness. Fr.

Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …ଅଧିକ
They should distance themselves for they are fakes and their prayers are not heard . Why did they go there if they didn’t mean it? Hoping for more resettlement money?
"How dare those bishops pray with Trump!" Meanwhile... Pro-abortion Dems are given awards by 'catholic' dioceses. Oh, and some bishops are telling their 'faithful' to make sure to vote blue! Cuz the poor & refugees and stuff.
Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

Una Voce clarifies why traditional Latin Mass pilgrims were denied access to St. Peter’s Basilica. The International Federation Una Voce (FIUV) has issued today a statement correcting misunderstandings surrounding this year’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage to Rome. According to FIUV, the Vatican Secretariat of State rejected the organizers’ request to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in August. The organizers then sought permission for a collective devotion inside the Basilica, as had been permitted in 2023 and 2024 despite the refusal of Mass. That request was also rejected in a letter dated September 30, which reached the organizers only in October. Thus, pilgrims were denied not only Mass in St. Peter’s, but also permission for organized communal prayer inside the Basilica. Meanwhile, permission was granted for a Pontifical Low Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Una Voce thanked the Cardinal Archpriest, sacristans, security personnel, and Dominican …ଅଧିକ
Full statement “Many members and supporters take part in the pilgrimage and we as an organisation are a member of the Caetus Internationalis Summorum Pontificum; we regard the annual pilgrimage as having great significance for the movement for the Traditional Mass. We would like to correct some misunderstandings which have arisen over the organisation of the pilgrimage this year. The authorities (through the Secretariat of State) declined the Coetus’ request for the celebration of Mass in St Peter’s, in August. At that point it was hoped and assumed that it would nevertheless be possible to have a collective devotion of some kind for the pilgrims, in St Peter’s, as happened in 2023 and 2024 when permission for Mass was refused. The August letter did not rule this out, so the Coetus requested it. This request was refused in a letter dated 30th September, which was however not received by the organisers until well into October. In the meantime permission was sought and gained for a Prelatial …ଅଧିକ
The Letter from the Secretary of State shows the Ad Petri Sedem procession was refused entry to St Peter’s on 30 September, weeks before the event, yet pilgrims were only told the day before. However the Saint Peter's Sacristy had indicated 1 pm was feasible; Secretariat of State still blocked it.

This entity now wants to go full tyrant mode and make sure Bolsonaro pays for standing up to socialists. SALABERT: "I have just requested the seizure of Flávio Bolsonaro's passport. The next step for this criminal is to try to flee Brazil to avoid facing the various inquiries in his name. He needs to be arrested soon. We cannot allow him to join his brother in the U.S. to plot against national sovereignty!" Minutes after the race was called, Salabert also posted: "We won! Now it's prison for Flavio Bolsonaro!"

Thousands of Muslims protested in Vienna, Austria, against the ban on the hijab in schools for girls under 14 years old.
Muslimische Eltern protestierten in Wien, Österreich, gegen das Hijab-Verbot an Schulen für Mädchen unter 14 Jahren. An den öffentlichen Schulen in Wien sind 42 % der Schüler muslimisch. Allein in den Grundschulen steigt dieser Anteil auf 46 %. Diese Menschen wollen sich nicht integrieren. Sie wollen die Macht übernehmen, indem sie die Scharia durchsetzen und ein Kalifat errichten.
