Francis greets inmates at the Giudecca female prison in Venice, which the Holy See has taken over for its biennale pavilion. Francis told the prisoners -- some of whom have been involved in the exhibition -- not to give up hope and that prison "paradoxically" can mark the beginning of something new.
For every cradle Catholic who left the Church because of a grumpy pastor, there are a dozen who left because they no longer saw any particular reason to get out of bed on Sunday morning.

From that website: Question: Are we as Catholics allowed to hate the devil? And, if so, are we allowed to hate those that are doing the devil’s work? Answer: To hate means to will evil for another person. But to will evil for another person is directly contrary to charity. Since we’re called to be charitable, it follows that we can never hate any person, including the devil. Just as God does not wish that any should perish (2 Pet. 3:9), we too cannot desire or rejoice in the eternal destruction of any intelligent being. However, this doesn’t mean we can’t hate the devil’s actions. As St. Paul writes, “Hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good” (Rom. 12:9). Question: My eight-year-old asked me, "If God loves all his creatures, then doesn't he love Satan?" I told her that God cannot love sin and that Satan is sin. Please correct me if I'm wrong and help me find an answer that an eight-year-old and I can understand. Answer: Satan is not sin. Satan is a fallen angel who chose to turn away …More

The bishops of England and Wales have issued an 11-page pastoral text on gender entitled 'Intricately Woven by the Lord'. The bishops note that many erroneous views of the human person dominate the discourse, leading to Catholics being discriminated against or even losing their jobs. A new language has been imposed to describe "diverse" [= false] ideas, with words and phrases appearing in public discourse such as 'trans', 'transgender', 'gender identity theory', 'born in the wrong body', 'gender fluidity' or 'gender other than the sex assigned at birth'. The bishops use the term 'gender dysphoria' or 'gender dysphoric persons' for people who are in conflict with their natural gender. They explain that the human person consists of body and soul as a unity. The union of spirit and matter forms a single nature. Real gender and subjectively perceived gender ("gender identity") cannot be separated. It is necessary to value one's own body in its femininity or masculinity and then [after marriage …More

Francis described the concluding October 2024 session of the synod on synodality as the synod’s “prophetic” stage and its “most challenging and important” stage. “Now it is a matter of translating the work of the previous stages into choices that will give impetus and new life to the mission of the Church in our time,” he said. “The most important thing of this synod is synodality, the subjects and topics are there to advance this expression of the Church that is synodality.”

Palestine has no army. Palestine has no airforce. The Palestinians have no rights. They live walled off from the rest of Israel in an outdoor concentration camp. They have lived this way for 75 years. How can you possibly say there is a war between unarmed prisoners and their keepers? This is purely a genocide while the whole world watches. The Pope knows the circumstances under which the Palestinians suffer, yet he does not have the the moral fortitude to advocate for them. He is an evil man.

Although the entire world watches in horror as the Zionists slaughter tens of thousands of innocents, at least 15,000 children and babies (although it seems like they stopped counting long ago); Pope Francis remains staunchly impartial for fear of offending his Jewish masters. Hospitals, schools, universities, businesses, and almost all forms of shelter have been destroyed. The people have been without adequate food and clean water for months. Mass graves containing hundreds of Palestinian hospital patients, hospital workers, the elderly, children, with hands bound have recently been unearthed. Yet Pope Francis has nothing to say. Nothing. He actually has the incredible nerve when asked directly about the slaughtered children of Gaza to bring up the Ukraine. The Israelis have murdered a minimum of 15,000 children in 6 months. And there are thousands more buried in the rubble, missing limbs, burned, crippled, and orphaned. 600 children have died in the Ukraine in two years and two months …More
