When leaving Castel Gandolfo yesterday, Pope Leo XIV was asked by journalists why, unlike his predecessors, he had not prayed inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on 29 November. "Who said I didn't pray?" Leo XIV replied. “They said I didn’t, but I already explained on the plane – I mentioned a book – and perhaps I am praying even now.” The book in question was 'The Practice of the Presence of God' by Brother Lawrence. Leo XIV added that it is a matter of style and place of prayer, and that his favorite place to pray is a Catholic church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. He called it "curious" that this moment had attracted so much attention. When asked when he will move into the Apostolic Palace, Pope Leo XIV said: "There is no date yet. I am comfortable where I am, in the Holy Office." Regarding US President Donald Trump, Pope Leo XIV believes that he is trying to break the "alliance" between the United States and Europe. He said: "The recent remarks made in interviews about …More
Leo XIV on his visit to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul: "But who said I didn't pray? People claimed I didn't pray, but I had already responded to that on the plane: I mentioned a book and said that it may well be that you are praying even at this moment, do you understand? The nature of prayer depends on the moment and the place. Personally, I prefer to pray in a Catholic church, before the Blessed Sacrament; but if this moment caused such a stir, it seems a little strange to me."
Leone XIV manda in tilt i … Leone XIV manda in tilt i vaticanisti:«Preferisco pregare in una Chiesa piuttosto che in Moschea» Dopo l’atto di venerazione all’Immacolata in Piazza di Spagna di lunedì 8 dicembre, Papa Leone XIV si è trasferito a Castel Gandolfo, nella villa Barberini, per trascorrere alcune ore di riposo. Martedì mattina il Pontefice ha ricevuto il presidente dell’Ucraina e, in serata, dopo cena, ha fatto rientro in Vaticano. Come di consueto, prima di salire in auto per tornare a San Pietro, il Papa si è intrattenuto con i giornalisti davanti a villa Barberini. Tra le domande, quella di Jacopo Scaramuzzi – vaticanista di La Repubblica ormai noto nell’ambiente per porgere quesiti spesso privi di reale senso – che ha chiesto perché Leone XIV non abbia pregato in moschea durante il recente viaggio in Turchia. Il Papa ha reagito con evidente sorpresa, quasi stupito di dover spiegare perché un Pontefice non preghi in una moschea. «Hanno detto che non ho pregato …More
Christians have been sentenced to annihilation, because even Protestants, who greatly contributed to the destruction of the Catholic Church, know some fragment of the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the system wants complete destruction and erasure of this teaching from memory. This teaching is the key to the Truth, and therefore to the inner temple, to the spiritual world where you become an uncontrolled, independent, peaceful soul waiting for the fall — which will certainly come, like every fall of an empire built on human ideologies. And it does not matter whether in human eyes these ideologies are good or bad. The fall is inevitable. People always eventually build the tower of Babel, even though they begin with a beautiful cathedral.

[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] '[VI] Of the Sixth Weapon. (1) The sixth weapon is the memory of the goods of paradise which are prepared for those who lawfully struggle by abandoning all the vain pleasures of the present life in accord with the saying of the most holy doctor Saint Augustine that it is impossible to enjoy present goods and future ones too. (2) So, dear sisters, be content not to have in this world any pleasure or any beloved, and do not grow tired of denying your own will, remembering what our patriarch St. Francis said, that is, that the most excellent and greatest gift that God’s servant can receive from God in this world is to conquer himself by denying his own will. So he said: “So great is the good that I behold / that every wound is beloved by me,”38 in order to show how, through the memory of eternal things, he rejoiced in suffering evil. (3) And in confirmation of the …More
"(7) For this reason, I beg you, daughter, that you not follow your current evil desire and temptation, but stand strong and persevere until the end, so that you can finally reach that noble feast and company which I saw, and rest eternally with these glorious virgins who await you.”

If you were watching and listening...we knew this was going on...shelling of civilians by the Ukrainian army just because people living there wanted to speak Russian....if we knew, others did also...so why the lying, why the warmongering...cui bono..who benefited...the armament industry for one.
Pope Leo at Angelus: “Dear friends, how great is the gift of the Immaculate Conception, but so also is the gift of Baptism that we have received! The ‘yes’ of the Mother of the Lord is wonderful, but so also can ours be, renewed faithfully each day, with gratitude, humility and perseverance, in prayer and in concrete acts of love, from the most extraordinary gestures to the most mundane and ordinary efforts and acts of service.”
This scoundrel dares to speak of Baptism when he publicly denies it in front of Muslims, pagans, and Jews who reject Christ and do not want to convert and receive baptism. Meanwhile, he deceives them with a false Masonic universal brotherhood.

Saint Gregory III | The Pope Who Defended Holy Images | Catechism for Kids Pope Saint Gregory III (d. 741) was the 90th Pope of the Catholic Church and one of the most courageous defenders of sacred images in Church history. Born in Syria, he was elected Pope by popular acclamation during the funeral of Pope Gregory II — a sign of how beloved and respected he already was in Rome. His papacy is best remembered for his strong stand against iconoclasm, the destruction of holy images forced upon Christians by Byzantine Emperor Leo III. In 731, Gregory III convened a synod in Rome that formally condemned iconoclasm and defended the veneration of sacred images — a teaching that remains central to Catholic tradition today. He worked tirelessly to strengthen Rome, improve monastic life, and support missionaries such as Saint Boniface, helping spread Christianity throughout Germany. He also sought protection from the Franks against the Lombards, laying early foundations for the future alliance …More
