The statue of the Apostle Andrew, by François Duquesnoy (1594–1643), in St. Peter’s Basilica is covered in dust. This detail was visible during the broadcast of the Eucharistic celebration for the Jubilee of Prisoners on 15 December, presided over by Pope Leo XIV. The Basilica of St. Peter is under the responsibility of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti.
Dal video, si vede che viene inquadrata la statua di Sant'Andrea dentro la Basilica di San Pietro (Sant'Andrea (Duquesnoy) - Wikipedia), posta di fronte l'altare del Baldacchino dove ha celebrato Papa Leone XIV, dove si nota come la statua sia letteralmente ricoperta di polvere, è davvero impressionante.

First this goes against free speech. Just because one is critical of something, does not mean they want to murder or do harm to that individual. To say critics must be killed is mortally sinful and goes against the Gospel. Just because I have been very critical of Biden does not mean I want him murdered. Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
Neither Bergoglio nor Prevost appear in the Mantle of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The 46 stars on the Virgin of Guadalupe's mantle prove that Bergoglio and Prevost are not legitimate Popes These 46 stars on the tilma represent the 46 popes since the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. They also correlate with the prophecies of Garabandal, which indicate that the End Times began after Benedict XVI. "I earnestly desire that a temple be erected for me here." The temple requested by the Virgin of Guadalupe is not the new modernist "basilica" that has been desecrated with syncretic ecumenical gatherings that violate the First Commandment and contradict the evangelizing message of the Virgin of Guadalupe. This site was also desecrated by the anti-apostolic visit of the false pope Bergoglio.
While more than 10 million pilgrims filled the streets of Tepeyac for the 12 December celebrations honouring Our Lady of Guadalupe, a serious internal crisis has been unfolding at the Basilica in Mexico City. According to InfoVaticana (15 December), the rector, Canon Efraín Hernández Díaz, has been removed from office and placed under a canonical investigation ordered by the Archdiocese of Mexico. The move followed an unprecedented formal complaint by the Guadalupe chapter to Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes. The canons accuse the rector of opaque financial administration, lack of transparency and accountability, and of bypassing them. The chapter shares legal responsibility for overseeing the sanctuary. According to the canons, these practices endangered both the material assets and the spiritual mission of Mexico’s most important Marian shrine. In response, Cardinal Aguiar removed the rector on 20 September and ordered a preliminary canonical investigation, opened on 3 October. The …More

In December, the Family Pastoral Service of the Diocese of Chiavari, Italy, published a booklet titled Non c’è un amore più grande (“There Is No Greater Love”). The diocese is run by Bishop Giampio Devasini. The publication presents a collection of autobiographical “Christian testimonies” of homosexuals and adulterers. Among the homosexuals are Marco and Michele: "We have been together since 2001." The two homosexuals are increasingly integrated into parish life, including participation in the parish choir and diocesan pastoral activities: "What was previously set aside because it was uncomfortable and difficult to testify to has now become a reason for commitment, to bring our experiences to others." They blame their lifestyle on God: "I believe that the ultimate goal of our work is to break down those walls of division that have always hindered the active participation of people belonging to the broad sphere of homoaffectivity in the life of the Church, under the love of the one …More
How a Catholic diocese can boast about open, serial and non-repentant sinners being witnesses to the faith is a non sequitur. Not only is it illogical, but it is also scandalous and sinful. No wonder people are fleeing the Catholic Church in droves.
Claire Lai, the daughter of 78-year-old Catholic convert Jimmy Lai, has spoken out for the first time about her father, who has been imprisoned under Hong Kong’s National Security Law for five years. The charge is “collusion with foreign forces.” According to Claire, her father is in rapidly declining health, suffering from diabetes, hypertension and infections, as well as severe weight loss. He lives in a windowless cell in heat, with no access to fresh air or sunlight. She says he has been denied regular medical care, the Eucharist and even his rosary. Yet his faith sustains him: he prays daily, reads the Gospel when permitted, and believes that God is with him. “He is innocent,” she says. “He has suffered enough. Unless something changes, he may become a martyr for freedom.”

We remember our childhood years, A joyful time, when snow reached our knees, When we searched for the star in the sky. Where are the children of those days? Where is the joy we once knew? Maybe it’s gone because we no longer want children, Cats and dogs are enough for us now. So say: “Merry Christmas, I love you” — And that is enough, Love will mend what has gone wrong.

That creepy looking son can’t wait to get his grubby thieving hands on that money…..sad. His dad won’t get to enjoy any of it with him around. And probably won’t live much longer either—if you get my drift.
I just watched this very video on yt last week! I enjoy this sort of stories sometimes. Some are fake. Or they change the story a bit. Thank you Pierre for this beautiful story.
