Today, Pope Leo XIV made two appointments concerning the Roman Curia. First, he appointed Bishop Anthony Randazzo, 59, of Broken Bay, Australia, as President of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts, making him an archbishop. Monsignor Randazzo was a member of the 2023–24 Synod on Synodality. "Good Thing", that Francis Spoke Out in Support of Homosex Blessings During a Synod press conference in October 2023 - before the publication of Fiducia Supplicans in December of that year - Monsignor Randazzo was asked whether it was helpful that Pope Francis had said, in the context of blessings for homosexual unions, that “pastoral charity” requires understanding, and that priests should not act as judges who merely deny, reject, or exclude. Bishop Randazzo replied: "I think it's a good thing that the Holy Father took the lead, and he's good at that." "He is able to address issues that affect people by listening to them and not dismissing them." He added, "Nobody expects to pick fruit off a …Siwaju sii
Several of the accusations from @Álvaro Aitor García - expulsion from the Curia, Pell’s alleged hatred, LGBT-flag permission, persecution claims, moral-corruption claims - are not foudn on any sources. Trash.

"Iran will seize part of the UAE and Bahrain if the US launches a ground operation." "If the US makes a mistake, Iranian forces are ready to seize the coastlines of the UAE and Bahrain and reshape the region," reads a statement aired on Iranian state television. Western media outlets are increasingly reporting on preparations for an American landing on the key island of Kharg, home to Iran's most important oil facilities. @Slavyangrad (Slavyangrad)

I am so outraged by this. It is time for men to band together and protect their women. Any migrant who bothers or assaults a European women will get a pounding.
Just as Francis created the Amazon rite to include indigenous action in the Catholic Liturgy, So too will this Pope Leo allow the Venezuelan witches that venerate the new Saint Doctor. The doors are wide open for all to enter and bring their "unique" methods of worship into a new form of Catholic Worship centered around the Saint Dr. José Gregorio Hernández
Do they believe in the trinity? - Why yes they DO The Trinity: She is often worshipped alongside Guaicaipuro (representing indigenous resistance) and Negro Felipe (representing African heritage), forming the "Three Powers". María Lionza is a central Venezuelan deity and spiritual figure revered as the goddess of nature, love, peace, and harmony, often depicted riding a tapir. Her cult, which blends indigenous, African, and Catholic traditions, is a major, syncretic religion centered in the Sorte Mountain of Venezuela
Pope Leo XIV sent a message to the French bishops regarding the Mass in the Roman rite. The message was written by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The French bishops opened their spring assembly in Lourdes on 24 March. At the opening, Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille said that key discussions would include a conference on liturgy and tradition, addressing debates on the Roman rite and its communities. According to a note from an anonymous internal source reported by La-croix.com, the topic is "not without causing tensions". And: "The bishops, whose views on the matter vary widely, will discuss the situation in their respective dioceses and the issues that have arisen. This should enable Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline to contribute to the June consistory with well-informed views." The relevant paragraph from Cardinal Parolin to the French bishops reads: "Dear brothers, you intend to address the delicate subject of the liturgy, to which the Holy Father is particularly …Siwaju sii
Al Mayadeen English @MayadeenEnglish Fars News Agency reported that the United States and “Israel” targeted a gas management building and a pressure reduction station on Kaveh Street in Isfahan, causing damage to parts of the facilities as well as nearby residential buildings. At the same time, reports indicated that the gas pipeline connected to the Khorramshahr power plant was also targeted.

Women who take public transport go out armed, with knives, with pepper spray, because they feel obliged to defend themselves nowadays." Jade recounts the daily hell of women in Nantes, France. She said many women are forced to simply drive cars or take an Uber. "Just a month ago, I was leaving the cinema in my car and five men tried to stop me." She then describes how the became involved a high-stakes car chase with the men that she barely escaped. "I got the fright of my life. I’m a bit shaky when I talk about it because it traumatized me. I thought, what’s the next step? I no longer take public transport, I no longer walk alone in the street. And now, even in my car, I’m still at risk of being mugged." Nantes is run by a clique of socialists and the left.
Wrapping up operation fury? lol These people are a joke. It will be done in short order and will be right on schedule? I heard they will go in and out. Nearly two months and it's still going on. All liars and deceivers. Every last one of them. But we are stuck with them because they are our punishment.

The Gospel of Saint Luke opens with a news flash from the Archangel Gabriel for Zechariah the priest, and Mary — Theotokos — the new Ark of the Covenant.
Joe Kent, former Director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, resigned on Tuesday in protest of the U.S. war in Iran. He described it as unjustified and lacking a clear threat. At the Catholic Prayer for America event, he said Americans have been misled about the war’s necessity. He also urged young Americans to make their voices heard in upcoming elections, saying they do not want this war either. A good Catholic who knows this war is unjust and a lie. And who is brave enough and honest enough to call trump out on an unjust war against innocent people who didn't pose a threat to anyone. GOD Bless him and all Catholics who are against this evilness going on in Iran against innocent people. And around the world. 'We were misled into war': Joe Kent speaks out

US-Kriegsministerium bereitet Entsendung Tausender Soldaten in den Nahen Osten vor "Wie das Wall Street Journal berichtete, wird das Pentagon voraussichtlich die Entsendung einer 3.000 Mann starken Brigade der in North Carolina stationierten Eliteeinheit zur Unterstützung des Krieges der USA und Israels gegen den Iran bekanntgeben. Die 82. Luftlandedivision, eine der führenden schnellen Eingreiftruppen des Militärs, ist darauf ausgelegt, innerhalb von 18 Stunden ein Bataillon und innerhalb von 72 Stunden eine ganze Brigade zu verlegen. Die 82. Luftlandedivision befindet sich aufgrund ihrer Fähigkeit, schnell in Krisengebiete weltweit zu verlegen, häufig in erhöhter Alarmbereitschaft und ist daher eine wichtige Ressource in neu entstehenden Konflikten. Es war zunächst unklar, wann die Truppen eingesetzt würden und welche konkrete Rolle sie im Falle einer Entsendung in die Region spielen würden. ..."

Belgian public broadcaster VRT aired a segment two months ago in which its presenters smashed statues of Jesus and Mary live. The scene was part of a so-called “rage room” meant to vent frustrations. Other smashed items included crockery and a computer screen. The three hosts were Eva De Roo, Dries Lenaerts and Sam De Bruyn. This week, Colm Flynn (EWTN) asked them whether they would do the same to symbols of Islam or Judaism. They said they would not (video below). Sam De Bruyn acknowledged that some people might feel offended, but argued that it is not a major issue in Belgium, certainly not for his audience. After public backlash, VRT issued an apology on March 24: “Eva and Dries offer their apologies. The video was intended as a humorous piece, and they underestimated how sensitive religious symbols can be. They understand that this was offensive to some people and would make different choices today.” However, there will be no serious consequences. Flemish Minister for Media Cieltje …Siwaju sii
