“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal
When Prevost challenged Catholic morality to promote the "informal," sacrilegious blessing for sodomite concubines—describing the agenda of his synodal sect—he stated: "Equal freedom for men and women, freedom of religion—all of that would take priority over that particular issue."
First Large-Scale Art Installation at Freiburg Cathedral: The Cathedral of Freiburg, Germany, is currently hosting a large-scale contemporary art installation. Beginning in the choir in front of the Marian High Altar, a female artist is creating a thread-based installation that extends through the church interior and will continue to grow over the four weeks leading up to Pentecost. The project budget is approximately €43,000.
Im Freiburger Münster entsteht erstmals eine großformatige zeitgenössische Kunstinstallation aus Fadengewebe von Elke Maier, die sich bis Pfingsten vom Chorraum durch den gesamten Kirchenraum ausbreitet; das Projektbudget beträgt rund 43.000 Euro.
Leo XIV managed to top Francis! “As my beloved predecessor, Pope Francis, said to the Primates of the Anglican Communion in 2024, ‘it would be a scandal if, due to our divisions, we [leaders of the Conciliar-Synodal church and Anglican sect] did not fulfill our common vocation [!!!] to make Christ known’ (Address to Primates of the Anglican Communion, 2 May 2024).”
Talking to Gloria.tv, Bishop Athanasius Schneider asks Pope Leo XIV to permit the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Since Leo XIV continually calls for peace in the world, the bishop argues that he should also foster peace within the Church. If he cannot make peace with the faithful and clergy of the FSSPX — Catholics who love and pray for the Pope — then his appeals for peace will lose credibility. Bishop Schneider therefore recommends that the Pope allow the consecrations as a gesture of reconciliation and to build bridges with the FSSPX, with whom he should continue discussions towards a lasting solution.
Ausschnitt aus diesem Video: "Wenn der Papst in der Welt zum Frieden aufruft, sollte er auch innerhalb der Kirche Frieden stiften. Eine Erlaubnis der Bischofsweihen wäre ein seelsorgliches Zeichen des Dialogs und der Versöhnung mit der Piusbruderschaft – als Brücke zu weiterer Klärung und Einheit."
Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together. They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly. “When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern. I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time. Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using …ਹੋਰ
When God’s Will Feels Too Hard The Gospel reading emphasizes Jesus as the Good Shepherd, highlighting His love and concern for His sheep. While we may intellectually acknowledge Jesus as our shepherd, we often struggle to surrender control and follow His will, especially when it contradicts our own desires or leads us through difficult times. True discipleship requires trusting in God’s plan, even when it’s challenging, and prioritizing the good of others over our own. Fr.

2 Peter 2:21-22 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs: “The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.” Hebrews 10:26 Apostasy Remains Unforgiven. If we deliberately persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, then there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins.
Joyful Charity In A Hostile World Saint Peter urges Christians to live as pilgrims on a journey towards heaven, not as if this world is the ultimate goal. This means living with holiness, being a light in the darkness, and treating all people, including those in authority, with respect and charity. In a society that often lacks kindness and decency, Christians should be known for their joy and charity. Saint Peter’s letter to persecuted Christians emphasizes the importance of living a life of joy, charity, and forgiveness, even in the face of adversity. This call to holiness is a challenge for all Christians, urging them to be a light in the darkness and a source of leaven in the world. By focusing on God and living according to His will, Christians can find fulfillment and bring glory to the Father. Fr.
