"Nowadays, preachers and congregations are so shallow that if a sermon is not full of polished and studied phrases, and a dash of novelty, they are too critical to take any notice of it. So in order that the word of the Lord should come to them in a way they will not disdain or scorn, to the peril of their souls, I have prefaced each gospel with a suitable prologue, and included in the work itself illustrations drawn from physics and natural history, and explanations of the meanings of words, expounded from the standpoint of morality."
[Saint Anthony of Padua, XII-XIII Century, Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/Padua, Lombard League, Holy Roman Empire (aged 35), Portuguese Catholic priest and member of the Order of Friars Minor, Doctor of the Church, Canonized less than one year after his death, Doctor Evangelicus] “ST. ANTONY'S GENERAL PROLOGUE 1. According to the First Book of Chronicles, David gave the purest gold: to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims, spreading their wings and veiling the ark of the covenant of the Lord. [1 Chron 28.18] 2. Genesis speaks of The land of Hevilath, where gold groweth, and the gold of that land is very good. [Gen 2.11-12] The name Hevilath is supposed to mean ‘bringing forth’. It stands for Holy Scripture, which is The earth [which] of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.[Mk 4.28] By the blade we understand the allegorical sense of Scripture, which builds up faith in accordance with the words: Let the earth bring …More
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, has instructed priests and pastoral staff to perform "blessings" for homosexual couples and adulterers. A spokesperson confirmed to Die-Tagespost.de on 21 April that all pastoral practice should adhere to the German bishops' guideline, Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft ('Blessing Gives Love Strength'). This guideline is set to become a fundamental element of pastoral work across the Archdiocese of Munich. Training sessions for pastoral staff on how to conduct these "blessing ceremonies" are scheduled to begin in June. No couple seeking a blessing should be turned away. Priests who reject such "blessings" are expected to refer couples to either their dean or other pastoral workers willing to perform them. Furthermore, Cardinal Marx has urged that the "theological meaning" of the guideline be explained, particularly to those who may "still" struggle with the concept of such "blessings". Blessings for same-sex couples are already common practice in …More

No wonder they tried to run the blockade.
During his flight to Equatorial Guinea, Pope Leo XIV responded to questions regarding a potential future consistory. “That is a question that many people want to ask,” he said. He then made it clear that no decision had yet been taken on the timing of a new consistory. "We need to consider the matter from a broader global perspective," he added, also suggesting that the African continent is being given attention.
Today, Leo XIV commented on the possibility of the next consistory and the creation of new cardinals: 'No decision has yet been made on when new cardinals will be created. We need to consider the issue from a global perspective. We hope that, in the near future — or perhaps a little further down the line — the appointment of a new cardinal for Angola can be considered, and that this will be the case for Africa, and perhaps even for Angola.”

The late great ALAIN DELON’s parents divorced when he was 4yrs old and put him up for adoption - so his answer when asked — “if God exists what would you ask him after your death?” — hits me hard every time.
So sincere and real! It so speaks to our need for and love of our parents, and how as parents we must nurture that love and build on it. It is so sad when even people who have been successfully adopted miss their real parents.

Katie Miller @KatieMiller The Justice Department just told French law enforcement authorities it wouldn’t facilitate their efforts to investigate @X. @TheJusticeDept accused France of abusing its criminal justice system to target an American company and censor free speech — in clear violation of the First Amendment. “This investigation seeks to use the criminal legal system in France to regulate a public square for the free expression of ideas and opinions in a manner contrary to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”
Hegseth scraps mandatory flu shots for troops Washington — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday that the Department of Defense will no longer mandate U.S. service members to receive the flu shot each year. In a video posted to X, Hegseth said troops will be free to choose whether to get vaccinated against the flu, and the shot will not be required by the Pentagon. "The notion that a flu vaccine must be mandatory for every service member everywhere in every circumstance at all times is just overly broad and not rational," he said. Hegseth said the decision to end the flu-vaccination mandate is part of the Trump administration's effort to "restore freedom and strength to our joint force." "We're seizing this moment to discard any absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities. In this case, this includes the universal flu vaccine and the mandate behind it," he said. A memorandum signed by Hegseth on Monday states that "effective immediately, …More
On the one hand we have this "New Cyrus" - false "King of Jerusalem" ( youtube.com/watch?v=S81Czhx9f7w ), on the other hand "no kings" slogan. The true response to the above is the Catholic one, they are very afraid of: Christ the King! In families, towns, counties. Then - states and countries.
