Speaking to journalists in Castel Gandolfo this evening, Pope Leo XIV called on world leaders to “come back to the table” and solve their problems through dialogue (video below). "I'm told that President Trump recently said he wanted to end the war. Hopefully, he is looking for a way out. I hope he's looking for a way to reduce the violence and bombing, which would significantly help to reduce the constant increase in hatred in the Middle East and elsewhere." Leo XIV added, "Come back to the table and engage in dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems and ways to reduce violence, so that peace — especially at Easter — might reign in our hearts." The Pope was also asked about his decision to personally carry the cross during the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum on Friday. "I think it will be an important sign because of what the Pope represents: a spiritual leader in today's world and a voice saying that Christ still suffers." When asked what he expects from his …وڌيڪ
Pope Francis was big on rehabilitating Judas. So is a parish priest in my local area. What gives?? They want to think everyone is saved so they have to encounter the problem of Judas.
From this series of papal writings, it is clear there were three conditions to maintaining use of a missal that existed prior to the Roman Missal's changes: the missal being used could not contain doctrinal error, it had to be of "ancient use" (not an innovation), and its use had to be continuous (the people attached to the missal had maintained its use uninterrupted, by not adopting the "new revised" missal. I fail to see how the 1962 missal does not meet these three requirements.

Arnon Milchan is an Israeli billionaire (net worth ~$6.4B as of 2026), Hollywood film producer (over 130 films including Pretty Woman, Fight Club, L.A.

As the exemption neared its end, he sought to extend it to 20 years. He pushed Netanyahu to extend this law to pay less in taxes… a tax law that benefits only few. Netanyahu went on to urge his Finance Minister to extend the tax law. He refused. In Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial (Case 1000), …وڌيڪ
On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
Israeli police block Catholic cardinal from Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday | ABS-CBN News Israeli police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from marking Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre "for the first time in centuries," the Patriarchate said, with police citing security concerns linked to the Iran war. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and Friar Francesco Ielpo were stopped by police while walking to the church, built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said. Israeli police said all holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City – including those sacred to Christians, Muslims and Jews – had been closed to worshippers since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, particularly locations without bomb shelters. Police said they had rejected a request from the Patriarchate for a Palm Sunday exemption. Later on Sunday, Latin Patriarch led a ceremony for Palm Sunday at Gethsemane church …وڌيڪ

During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …وڌيڪ

St Dismas, March 25th. ADPaul When the Jesuit, Fr Charles Dismas Clark died on 15 August 1963, the New York Times ran a long obituary with a two column headline: “Rev. C. Dismas Clark, 62, Dies; A Pastor of 3,500 Ex-Convicts.” It was a day on which tough men cried. According to Fr. Clark, the only person to whom Christ promised paradise is St.Dismas, the good thief. The Penitent Thief, also known as the Good Thief, Grateful Thief or the Thief on the Cross, is one of two unnamed thieves in Luke's account of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke describes him asking Jesus to "remember him" when Jesus arrives at his kingdom. The other, as the impenitent thief, challenges Jesus to save himself to prove that he is the Messiah. He is officially venerated in the Catholic Church. The Roman Martyrology places his commemoration on 25 March, together with the Feast of the Annunciation, because of the ancient Christian tradition that Christ (and the penitent thief) were …وڌيڪ
Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, published on April 8, 2016, was a “breakthrough” for the Church. This was stated by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 81, of Vienna, who had presented the document at the Vatican ten years ago, in an interview with Kathpress.at on March 30. In a footnote, Francis "allowed" adulterers to grab Holy Communion using the case-by-case trick. Cardinal Schönborn commented: "That Pope Francis addressed the question of whether divorced and remarried persons may receive Communion only in a small footnote deeply moved me personally." “When I take the document from my bookshelf or even just think about it, it still brings me to tears,” he added. For many people in the Church - and for him personally - the document represented a “huge sigh of relief.” The reason, he explained, is that Francis speaks “about real life.” Families in “difficult” situations should not be constrained or judged according to "rigid criteria". Instead, one …وڌيڪ

I pray that most of these seminarians will persevere and get ordained if it is God's will. When I was in the seminary, I had to play games in order to get approved. The rector even told me, that five years before, there would have been no problem for me. Many good and holy men quit the seminary because they were scandalized or because they were considered too rigid and too holy.
