Vatican Clergy Residence Becomes Four Star Hotel: Leo XIV has approved the conversion of the Domus Internationalis Paulus VI in Rome from a residence for clergy into a four-star hotel. This is confirmed for the first time in the 2025 APSA financial report. Retired cardinals, bishops, former nuncios, and other clergy living in the residence wrote to Leo XIV, asking that the project be halted. But the plan is moving forward and is now in its final stages. The building dates back to the 15th century and became famous in 2013 when, shortly after his election, Pope Francis returned to pay his hotel bill personally. The Vatican expects to receive approximately €5 million per year in rent from the property.
«Con il Santo Padre Francesco era stato deciso che non si poteva certamente fare un hotel a cinque stelle, per motivi di credibilità e d'immagine; alla fine sarà soltanto un quattro stelle». Un'affermazione che aveva provocato non poco imbarazzo...

The Spanish Diocese of Cádiz and Ceuta has issued a statement expressing concern over the situation in Ceuta following the mass arrival of young male migrants from Morocco. Its main initiative is to dedicate this weekend's collections in Ceuta's parishes to the Diocesan Migration Office. The funds will be distributed through the San Antonio Migrant Assistance Center to address the most urgent needs in coordination with the relevant civil authorities. Meanwhile, videos circulating on social media reportedly show knife attacks, the looting of private homes and supermarkets, and other crimes committed by some of the illegal migrants.

Cardinal Zuppi Wants "a Mediation" on Euthanasia Legislation. Worse than Germany: Speaking on Luca Zaia's podcast Il Fienile in late July 2026, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, said: "I know well that those who are ill don't wait for the law. There are also regions acting in a fragmented way. Politics should find a mediation. I've met sick people who wanted to leave. In these cases, respect is needed. The only choice you can make is to stay close to those who are suffering, which doesn't mean giving up your principles."
The Real PRESENCE (Eucharistic Meditations) By Saint Peter Julian Eymard classiccatholicaudiobooks On 13 May 1856, the Paris bishops consented to Eymard's plans for a ‘Society of the Blessed Sacrament’. After many trials, Eymard and de Cuers established public exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in Paris on 6 January 1857 in a run-down building at 114 rue d’Enfer (which literally meant ‘street of hell’).[7] The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament began working with children in Paris to prepare them to receive their First Communion. It also reached out to non-practicing Catholics, inviting them to repent and begin receiving Communion again. Father Eymard established a common rule for the members of the society and worked toward papal approval.[4] A second community was established in Marseille in 1859, and a third in Angers in 1862. Pius IX granted a Decree of Approbation in June 1863. Eymard was a tireless proponent of frequent Holy Communion, an idea given more authoritative backing …المزيد

The Vatican's restrictions on the Latin Mass "isn't realistic" because young Catholics' growing attraction to the Church's liturgical tradition is "unstoppable", said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco speaking with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN. “It's what's drawing young people in and will continue to do so." According to Monsignor Cordileone, the popularity of the Mass among younger generations makes Traditionis Custodes difficult to sustain: "To be honest, I don't think it's realistic". And: "We look at the younger generation. They all love the tradition." "They love the more classical way that the Church worships, the traditional Mass," he continued. Archbishop Cordileone challenged recent comments by Cardinal Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, who said Leo XIV would not reverse Traditionis Custodes. "I don't know how well he knows the mind of the Holy Father. But I think one thing that's clear to everyone is the Holy Father wants to bring everyone …المزيد

An suggestive exhibition by the Lecoq artists' collective was withdrawn from the church Chapelle du Bourg in Arradon, Bretagne, northwestern France, on 30 July. The exhibition, titled Le Poulailler 4, was scheduled to run from 27 July to 2 August 2026 and had been organized by the municipality as part of its cultural programme. The exhibition included photographs depicting two men kissing, a man wearing pink underwear in a suggestive pose, a photograph of male buttocks. Only after complaints about this homosexual propaganda, the municipality proposed that the most controversial photographs either be removed from the chapel or transferred to a nearby municipal exhibition space. The Lecoq collective declined both proposals and removed the entire exhibition on 30 July, before its scheduled closing date. Photographer Nikolaz Le Coq stated that he had not considered the photographs to be a profanation of the chapel and said he had [alledgely] not anticipated that they would be perceived in …المزيد

'Did Catholics change the 10 Commandments? Do we keep Holy the Sabbath or the Lord's Day? Why do we worship on Sunday rather than Saturday? What activities are allowed on Sunday, for Sunday Rest, and what activities are forbidden and why? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains all this and more! '
Why does everyone always blame the Priests? They are old enough to know better. Are they suppose to be signing? Or just going along with the words making hand motions? This is sad when you see a room of adults going along with that Priest. No one says a word.
تم سحب معرض مثير للجدل أقامته مجموعة «ليكو» الفنية من كنيسة «شابيل دو بورغ» في أرادون، بريتاني، شمال غرب فرنسا، في 30 يوليو. وكان من المقرر أن يستمر المعرض، الذي حمل عنوان «لو بولايلر 4»، من 27 يوليو إلى 2 أغسطس 2026، وقد نظمته البلدية في إطار برنامجها الثقافي. وتضمن المعرض صوراً فوتوغرافية تُظهر رجلين يتبادلان القبلات، ورجلًا يرتدي ملابس داخلية وردية اللون في وضع مثير، وصورة لأرداف رجل. ولم تقترح البلدية إزالة الصور الأكثر إثارة للجدل من الكنيسة أو نقلها إلى مساحة عرض بلدية قريبة إلا بعد تلقي شكاوى بشأن هذه الدعاية المثلية. ورفضت مجموعة «لي كوك» كلا الاقتراحين وقامت بإزالة المعرض بأكمله في 30 يوليو، قبل الموعد المقرر لختامه. وصرح المصور نيكولاز لو كوك بأنه لم يعتبر الصور تدنيساً للكنيسة، وقال إنه [يُزعم] أنه لم يتوقع أن يُنظر إليها على هذا النحو. تُعرف «شابيل دو بورغ» بأنها الكنيسة الأبرشية السابقة لبلدة أرادون. ورغم أنها لم تعد الكنيسة الأبرشية الرئيسية للبلدة بعد افتتاح كنيسة جديدة في عام 1987، إلا أنها لا تزال كنيسة كاثوليكية مكرسة. وكما هو معتاد بموجب قانون العلمانية الفرنسي لعام …المزيد

Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com Father Gabriel Calvo Zarraute condemns synodality: "Synodality is a neologism invented by Bergoglio to destroy the Catholic Church, to democratize and Protestantize it. Let's call things by their name, my dears, because I'm fed up with being taken for fools! The Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Roman, not synodal. That's anti-Catholic. What can synodality possibly give us? Well, the Church was already full of foxes, and now it will be even more so. Jesus Christ founded a hierarchical, non-democratic Church. It's not that Catholicism isn't democratic, but rather that it's anti-democratic, because Jesus Christ was condemned to death democratically. All the Greek philosophers were anti-democratic. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and so on. Even Cicero (in ancient Rome) was. All the ancient sages, all the great Greco-Roman thinkers, were against what we now understand as modern liberal democracy. So enough of this nonsense, especially when Pope …المزيد
