Today, Pope Leo XIV received Gareth Gore in audience. Gore is a British financial journalist who has attacked Opus Dei in recent years. Since his election, Leo XIV has met with the leadership of Opus Dei twice to discuss the revision of their statutes. Opus Dei as "Abusive Cult" Gore's most notable book is Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church (2024). He presents a caricature of Opus Dei, claiming that the organisation has built its influence through networks of members in business and finance, including figures linked to Banco Popular Español. He speaks of an "abusive cult". Gore describes a strict internal discipline and secrecy, and alleges that Opus Dei engages in coercive recruitment and exploitation. He invents that some assistants (women who perform domestic work in Opus Dei centres) are victims of human trafficking. The Collapse of Banco Popular However, the collapse of Banco Popular in 2017 is generally explained …ច្រើន

Just because you do not agree with someone does not mean you should be mean and nasty to that person. That person is a child of God. Spitting and name calling are completely uncalled for and very undignified.
An unknown person vandalised the parish church of Absam near Innsbruck, Austria, in the afternoon of 15 March. The perpetrator set fire to religious items, including pages from a hymn book and artificial flowers placed beneath a crucifix. Further damage was caused near the votive candles, and the holy water dispensers were also damaged. The police are investigating.
The main reason you visit a church should be to adore Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. After greeting Our Lord, it is fine to tour the church and see its treasures and beauty, always remembering that the church is GOD'S house and NOT a museum.
@Father Karl A Claver dear priest, I know the question im about to ask you is a bit silly, perhaps dumb... Is Church tourism acceptable? Is it a good thing to do? Thanks.
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem Wed Mar 18th "The synthesis of the faith was not made to accord with human opinions, but rather what was of the greatest importance was gathered from all the Scriptures, to present the one teaching of the faith in its entirety. And just as the mustard seed contains a great number of branches in a tiny grain, so too this summary of faith encompassed in a few words the whole knowledge of the true religion contained in the Old and New Testaments." Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechesis, illuminandorum "Now when the catechizing has taken place, should a catechumen ask what the teachers have said, tell nothing to a stranger, for we deliver to thee a mystery." Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, Lectures on the Christian Sacraments "For neither is it holy to worship the mere man, nor religious to say that He is God only without the Manhood. For if Christ is not God, as indeed He is, but took not human nature upon Him we are strangers to salvation. Let us then worship Him as God …ច្រើន
« Préparez votre cœur à recevoir la doctrine, afin de participer aux saints mystères. » Saint Cyrille de Jérusalem Mercredi 18 mars « La synthèse de la foi n’a pas été faite pour s’accorder avec les opinions humaines, mais plutôt pour rassembler ce qui était de la plus grande importance dans toutes les Écritures, afin de présenter l’enseignement unique de la foi dans son intégralité. Et tout comme la graine de moutarde contient un grand nombre de branches dans un minuscule grain, de même ce résumé de la foi englobe en quelques mots toute la connaissance de la vraie religion contenue dans l’Ancien et le Nouveau Testament. » Saint Cyrille de Jérusalem, Catéchèse, illuminandorum « Maintenant que la catéchèse a eu lieu, si un catéchumène demande ce que les enseignants ont dit, ne dis rien à un étranger, car nous te transmettons un mystère. » Saint Cyrille de Jérusalem, Conférences sur les sacrements chrétiens « Car il n’est pas saint d’adorer le simple homme, ni religieux …ច្រើន

Philosophical and Theological Synthesis Article 3001 is not merely mathematical; it is metaphysically ambitious. It explicitly engages with the deepest classical questions: What is the relationship between mathematics and reality? Why does the universe obey numerical laws? Why are certain constants privileged? What is the origin of order and intelligibility? ________________________________________ 29.1 Classical Metaphysical Streams The article integrates several intellectual traditions: • Christian Platonism (Augustine, Bonaventure) • Scholastic metaphysics (Aquinas) • Hildegardian cosmology • Neopythagorean number-theology • Logos theology (Prologue of John’s Gospel) • Modern mathematical Platonism The central insight: Number precedes creation. ________________________________________ 29.2 Augustine’s Doctrine of Eternal “Rationes” Augustine taught: The forms and numbers of all things exist eternally in the Mind of God.

Voices of MAGA: From support to open rebellion The protest of key figures within MAGA has been particularly striking. Tucker Carlson, a well-known supporter of isolationism, expressed outrage during an ABC News interview on March 1, declaring the attacks on Iran “Absolutely disgusting and evil.” In a podcast, he added,“This is not America’s war. This is Netanyahu’s war that’s being forced upon us… We promised America First, and instead got endless wars fought for the interests of others.”
The night of February 28-March 1, 2026, will be remembered by all those who followed the news in real time. At 1:15 AM EST, seated in the White House Situation Room, US President Donald Trump said,“Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck.” Those nine words signaled the launch of the largest US-Israeli military operation in decades. F-35 fighters, B-2 bombers, cruise missiles launched from ships in the Persian Gulf, and drones struck over 3,000 targets in Tehran, Natanz, Fordow, and other locations in Iran. The mission was to eradicate what remained of Iran’s nuclear program, dismantle the command structure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and as Trump later confirmed in a video address from Mar-a-Lago, “eliminate imminent threats” to the US from the Iranian leadership. However, within hours, the situation changed. Iranian state television announced that “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has fallen a martyr due to the aggression of the Zionist and American …

War on Iran: US evangelicals, Israeli Zionists cite holy war | UpFront The United States and Israel have often portrayed themselves as secular democracies fighting against a theocratic Islamic regime in Iran. But as the war against Iran continues to escalate, US leaders have spoken of a biblical duty to defend Israel, military commanders have referenced divine destiny, and Israeli leaders continue to cite biblical claims to territory. So why is this religious rhetoric resurfacing now? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with author and Professor of American Studies and International Affairs at George Washington University Melani McAlister, and rabbi and Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Harvard Divinity School Shaul Magid on what happens when faith, nationalism and politics collide on the global stage.
