Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …Engeta

John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …Engeta

Imam greets Leo "in the name of Allah" in Catholic cathedral. Gloria TV: On 16 April, Pope Leo XIV presided over an interreligious peace meeting inside St Joseph's Cathedral in Bamenda, Cameroon. El Hadj Mohammed Aboubakar, the chief imam of Buea, gave a speech on behalf of the Muslim community and greeted Leo XIV with the Islamic greeting, As-salāmu ʿalaykum, adding: "I greet you in the name of Allah, who is most compassionate, the most merciful". By his sin of omission, Robert Prevost confirms Muslims in their rejection of the true God, allowing them to continue trampling upon and despising Christ as Redeemer. The pro-Islamic Prevost defends neither the true God nor the Catholic faith in his apostate interreligious facades for peace. —He mocks God and the Catholic faith, in collusion with those who deny the Prince of Peace and worship false gods. Here, too, we see the lack of mercy of the impostor Prevost, for an act of mercy consists in correcting those who err. He is hireling who …
Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Michele Morandi as the new Bishop of Faenza-Modigliana, an Italian diocese with 130,000 Catholics and 80 parishes. Born in Alfonsine, Italy, in 1976, he was ordained a priest in 2003 and has served as a parish priest, rector of the diocesan seminary and vicar general of the diocese. Closed Seminary Is "Excellent Starting Point" As rector of the seminary, he wrote in 2024 for the 70 anniversary of the large seminary building in Faenza. The seminarians now study in Bologna. The building is called the 'former seminary' and used as a library, a school, a workplace and an art space, and has become a "secular place". For Monsignor Morandi, this was an "excellent starting point", as from that moment on, things were "no longer tainted by clerical and collegial imagery or clouded by a curtain of incense." Identification with the Synodal Process Monsignor Morandi took part in the Italian Church’s national synodal assembly in Rome. In a diocesan article from 2025…Engeta

From Pope Francis, the idea of synodality remains - that is, the notion that the Church is a process of listening, consultation and struggle, Austrian Jesuit Andreas Batlogg told Kirche-und-Leben.de on 17 April. He has written several books about Francis, including an early biography. Regarding the 2019 Amazon Synod, Father Batlogg said that Francis had come close to abolishing celibacy: "Then there was massive backlash. And he slowed down." Something similar happened with the Synod on Synodality, which concluded without a final document. The internal division within the Church under Francis has become "very deep": "There was open resistance, not just behind the scenes." With Leo XIV, however, there has been "more of a shift in tone than a break in substance", according to Fr Batlogg. Leo XIV presents himself as calmer and more controlled, with a greater focus on clarity and a more traditional demeanour: "However, these are initially matters of style."

18.04.2026 The SSPX maintains the separation of Church and State, a leftist concept. Since they use the New Theology created with the False Premise they have collegiality, with the liberals. With the New Theology they are liberals on Ecumenism and Inter-Religious Dialogue, like the pope and the cardinals and bishops. Cushingism is liberalism and schism. They cite Tradition but in Tradition there were no separation between state and Church. Presently Pope Leo is aligned with the leftist state. They interpret Vatican Council II as does Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium. EG mentions hypothetical cases as if they are visible and personally known people, in the present times saved outside the Catholic Church. Ad Gentes 7 is not mentioned and it is assumed that Vatican Council II has explicit exceptions for AG 7 and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is the common irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II. APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION EVANGELII GAUDIUM OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS …Engeta
On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …Engeta
Seems like Catholics are no better than Leo. Not one defended Our Lord from another Blasphemy from trump. But I watched how quickly they all came out of the wood work when he and Leo got into it. Well, you chose your god. Be prepared for the consequences. No less defending an evil prot who lead an evil life. Child abuser! One Pope called an inquisition because of protestantism. Another said, they are the worst heretics, before, now and to come. How many sins did they commit? They will find out when the time comes.
Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV. Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon: “ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
April 19th - Saint of the Day: Saint Alphege of Canterbury, Archbishop, Monk & Martyr What kind of man refuses to buy his own freedom because that money belongs to the poor? Saint Alphege did. He was an Archbishop of Canterbury, a monk, a shepherd of souls, and a martyr who chose faithfulness over survival. When pagan captors demanded a huge ransom for his release, he would not let the Church’s resources be spent on saving himself while the poor still suffered. That is the kind of courage that stops people in their tracks. His story is intense, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. A holy bishop captured during the sack of Canterbury. A shepherd who begged mercy for his people. A saint who faced a brutal death rather than betray the Gospel he preached. Saint Alphege proves that real Christian love is not soft, shallow, or convenient. It is sacrificial. It is fearless. It is real. This is one of those Catholic saint stories that hits hard because it asks a serious …Engeta
Sant' Elfego (Elfege) di Canterbury Vescovo - Festa:19 aprile 954 - 1011 Nacque in Inghilterra nel 954. Divenuto benedettino nell’abbazia di Deerhurst, nel Gloucestershire, proseguì la carriera ecclesiastica come abate di un monastero a Bath e quindi, nel 984, come vescovo di Winchester. Nel 1006 fu nominato arcivescovo di Canterbury. Era molto amato dal popolo per la sua generosità ed umanità. Durante l’invasione danese del 1011 si rifiutò di fuggire e fu preso prigioniero. Non volle pagare il proprio riscatto con le elemosine raccolte per i poveri e per questo motivo venne ucciso a Greenwich. Fu bastonato a morte con le pesanti ossa di un bue che era servito ai pagani per un luculliano banchetto. Le sue reliquie furono conservate nella chiesa di San Paolo a Canterbury, fino all’avvento della riforma.

“The multiplication of the loaves and fishes occurred during the sharing; that is the miracle,” said Pope Leo XIV in his homily at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon, on 17 April, which was attended by around 120,000 people. He continued: ‘There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken not with a snatching hand, but with a giving hand.” Common heresy in the Francis era Here, Leo XIV reflects an idea that Pope Francis has returned to several times: that the multiplication of the loaves is not about a supernatural increase in food, but a transformation of human hearts that leads to sharing. During the Angelus on 26 July 2015, Francis said that 'the miracle does not consist in the multiplication itself, but in the sharing'. At the Angelus on 29 July 2018, and in various weekday homilies at Santa Marta, Francis reiterated that the true sign is not a miracle, but a change in attitude; the crowd learns to share. On 25 July 2021, Francis …Engeta

Another Pope said they are the worst heretics, before, now and to come. But they prefer to defend such evil. It's not so much we defended Leo. We were outraged that ONCE AGAIN, he disrespected someone called a Pope. Whether fake or real, NO prot should ever disrespect anything that is Catholic. And trump has no right to attack anyone with his evil life and evil deeds. They rather defend a prot than anyone else.

Stephen C. Coughlin is an American lawyer and former Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence analystat at the Pentagon. This response was directed to @FatherChrisVor1 (see below): It was around 15 years ago that a group of Nigerians approached me, priests and ministers, to ask if I’d speak to Members of Congress about the mass killing of Catholic Nigerians, who were quite literally taken out of mass and burned alive, and filmed. That was when I was on the Hill all the time. They also asked if I’d reach out to the Archdiocese of Washington on their behalf because they couldn’t get an audience – they were actually shut out. I approached my parish priest to open the discussion. The priest’s panic of having to respond was obvious. He gave what was obviously a packaged response of non-involvement. Wouldn’t even watch the video. So cringe, so unmanly. The thing is, a number of years later, Boko Haram launched another round of mass killings targeting Catholics. This time, a Nigerian Reformed …

Here, too, we see the lack of mercy of the impostor Prevost, for an act of mercy consists in correcting those who err. He is hireling who works for his own self-interest and his anti-Catholic agenda. Pope Saint Leo the Great taught: "Whoever sees another person in error and makes no effort to correct them testifies against himself, for he himself becomes guilty of error." — He also wrote that those who regard themselves as teachers—rather than being guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ—are "masters of error," because they have never been disciples of the truth.
