Pope Leo XIV arrived in Lebanon this afternoon. During the flight, he reaffirmed the Holy See’s support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He also noted that, while in Turkey, he discussed plans for a major ecumenical gathering in 2033—possibly in Jerusalem—to mark 2,000 years since Christ’s death and resurrection. In Lebanon, large crowds braved heavy rain to glimpse the Pope. He was welcomed by a light show projected onto the walls of the Presidential Palace in Baabda before speeking to Lebanon’s civil authorities.

The absence of representatives from the Russian Orthodox Church was nevertheless conspicuous, and a sign of the persistent chill both in the internal relations of the great Churches of global Orthodoxy and in relations between Rome and Moscow. The chill came after long-simmering tensions between the Patriarchates of Moscow and Constantinople came to a boil in 2018, when Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople granted self-governing status to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

In his closing remarks at Saturday morning’s ecumenical meeting in the Church of Mor Ephrem – the Syriac Orthodox church in Istanbul that was the first new church building erected since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 – Pope Leo XIV invited everyone present at the ecumenical gathering “to journey together on the spiritual journey leading to the Jubilee of Redemption in 2033, with the prospect of a return to Jerusalem, to the Upper Room.” That’s according to a statement from the press office of the Holy See, given to journalists traveling with Leo in Turkey, where the pontiff has been since Thursday to mark the 1700th anniversary of the …
Reporterre, an independent French online media outlet dedicated to ecology and environmental journalism, has published an in-depth exploration of the enduring “whiteness” (blanchité) of French ecological movements. Its piece, titled Sortir de l’entre-soi blanc: Neuf pistes pour refonder le mouvement écolo, (Breaking out of the white inner circle: Nine avenues to refound the eco movement), argues this homogeneity stems from historical, cultural and structural biases that marginalise racialised voices, particularly from post-colonial and working-class communities. The article calls for a radical reinvention of the “green” movement, making it less white, more inclusive and intersectional and, thus, ultimately more effective in tackling the climate crisis. Launched in 2007 by journalist Hervé Kempf, Reporterre is France’s oldest daily news site focused on ecology. It is managed by a non-profit association and 98 per cent financed by donations of its readers. It attracts more than …
I had pictures of ovens and a large pile of the bodies of jews they murdered bodies. An Army Nurse took them. There were other pictures she took while she was working in WW ll in Germany. I think she was there during or after. I'm not sure.
Don't forget your gift for Jesus. What will you be giving him (for love of God and neighbor) for his 2025 birthday? What virtue, act of charity, additional prayer from the heart is He wanting most from you?
Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen. Beginning on the Feast Of St. Andrew Nov. 30, the following prayer is traditionally recited 15 times a day until Christmas. Mention your request. Day 1 Prayer: O Great Son of God, you have become man in order to make yourself loved by men. But where is the love that men give you in return? You have given your life blood to save our souls. Why then are we so hard-hearted, repaying your love with our ingratitude? More than others, I have myself ill-treated you in this manner, Lord. But your Passion is my hope. For the sake of that love which led you to take upon yourself our human nature and to die for me on the cross, forgive me all the offenses I have committed against you. …More
Yes, "George Galloway Speaks Out on Being Forced Into Exile After Criticizing Ukraine War" with Tucker Carlson. From the YouTube video post: George Galloway has been elected to parliament seven times, and on many issues is one of the most conservative politicians in the U.K. But when he criticized the Ukraine war, he was detained by British police and had his property confiscated. He’s now in exile. This is a must see interview. If several times elected politician and well known broadcaster George Galloway can be detained and forced into exile for his safety, what can a corrupt government do, and is doing, to the little guy like you and me? Galloway is a British politician, writer and broadcaster. He has been the leader of two parties: the Workers Party of Britain and the Respect Party. He has been elected to serve as a Member of Parliament seven times. Some of his shows on YouTube get more views than the government funded BBC. His online program is called, Straight Talk, Straight …
Love George. But he can get a little too excitable for me and too loud. I love how he speaks his mind and doesn't sugarcoat anything. Or speaks like he has to walk on eggshells. I guess that's why I loved Father Hesse and Father Isaac Relyea. They don't worry about feelings, they worry about the people and the lies that are told and to make sure the people get the truth.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Wikipedia. The vast majority of vaccine skeptics would prefer to completely ban all special medical operations known as vaccinations—interventions that are harmful to health and offer no demonstrable benefit. I deliberately chose the analogy of the Russian special operations because the military significance of vaccinations as a weapon plays a crucial role here. I am convinced that this would bring tangible health benefits, but it is not the right approach. The introduction of alcohol prohibition in the US between 1919 and 1933 was certainly intended to save millions of alcoholics, but it led to an increase in alcohol consumption and the criminalization of a large part of society. While I cannot imagine illegal underground vaccination centers springing up everywhere, a revolt by the …
HustleBitch @HustleBitch_ THE SKIN CANCER LIE: WHAT IF IT WAS NEVER THE SUN? According to the man in this video, a 1988 Australian study found something explosive. Two groups of hairless mice were given the same calories and the same UV exposure. As he puts it, “the only difference was the type of fat they ate.” He says the mice eating seed oils, the same oils in most processed foods, “started to develop skin tumors after UV exposure.” At the same time, “the mice eating saturated fat like butter were completely fine. Same UV light but no tumors.” And when researchers switched the protected mice over to seed oils, he says “tumors started showing up.” His summary is blunt: “seed oils plus sun equals tumors.” If this experiment is even partly accurate, then a huge piece of the skin cancer conversation may have been ignored for almost forty years. If this was discovered in 1988, who buried it and why?

Larry Johnson, Pepe Escobar and others just got back from Russia interviewing many people. I posted a video of the Chechen General Apti where he says, the Russian army is fighting in the army of JESUS. He says it again in the interview. Also said, he is tired of fighting and killing! Imagine a muslim in the US, UK, or France saying such things? Only in Russia because of President Putin. Whom they love very much. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time watching video's and reading more and more. But no problem watching Catholic or Bible movies from the past. So I am watching them more and more everyday.

'They don't get to determine': Rubio fires back at EU criticism over drug boat strikes US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has rejected criticism from EU leaders over military strikes against alleged drug boats from South America, saying Europeans don’t get to dictate how America defends itself. Rubio spoke at the G7 foreign ministers meeting in Canada on Wednesday, where discussions centred on Ukraine and Gaza. Several countries raised concerns about US attacks on vessels the Trump administration says are carrying drugs. France’s foreign minister said the strikes “violate international law” and threaten nearby French territories. “The European Union doesn’t get to determine what international law is – and it certainly doesn’t get to determine how the United States defends its national security," Rubio told reporters. “It’s interesting that these countries want us to supply nuclear-capable Tomahawk missiles to defend Europe, but when we position aircraft carriers in our own hemisphere …More
Based on a true story, a priest is confronted with the confession of the man responsible for the death of his family. Warning, it has a lot of ad's. But I think well worth it. If you want to avoid them, click on a video to the right and click back to the movie. About 29 minutes long. A Great Day (Award Winning Catholic Short Film) "A Great Day" (winner of the New York Indie Film Festival Awards) is a powerful short film that captures the heart of the Catholic faith, revealing the profound beauty of true forgiveness, healing, and spiritual renewal through the sacramental life of the Church. Rather than merely telling, this film shows—through visual storytelling and prayerful moments—the real power of God’s grace in action. Set amidst the real struggles of everyday Christians, the story explores how brokenness, resentment, and guilt are not the end—but the beginning of transformation when brought to Christ. Through the presence and ministry of Catholic priests, the film depicts the vital …More
