New Vatican Prefectessa Is Divorced: Montse Alvarado, the new Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, stated in an interview on Youtube.com on March 10, 2025: "I'm not married, but I am annulled in the Church, and I think it's important to talk about that too, for people to realize that annulment brings you closer to the Church and closer to Christ."
Montse Alvarado: “I'm not married, but I am annulled in the church, and I think it's important to talk about that too, for people to realize that annulment brings you closer to the church and closer to Christ.” This is the new Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication in a video on March 10, 2025.
Anyone claiming 'annulment brings you closer to the Church and closer to Christ' likely should have not been granted an annulment until such a misconception/misunderstanding could be clarified. Her declaration seems like a (proud) advertisement for annulment. Is this the kind of skewed 'communications' we can expect from her office? In and of itself, her annulment would not disqualify her from the job but her perspective certainly should. As bungled a piece of communication as one could fabricate.
June 8 Saint William Of York. breski1 Jun 8, 2010 (d. 1154) A disputed election as archbishop of York and a mysterious death. Those are the headlines from the tragic life of today's saint. Born into a powerful family in 12th-century England, William seemed destined for great things. His uncle was next in line for the English throne—though a nasty dynastic struggle complicated things. William himself faced an internal Church feud. Despite these roadblocks, he was nominated as archbishop of York in 1140. Local clergymen were less enthusiastic, however, and the archbishop of Canterbury refused to consecrate William. Three years later a neighboring bishop performed the consecration, but it lacked the approval of Pope Innocent II, whose successors likewise withheld approval. William was deposed and a new election was ordered. It was not until 1154—14 years after he was first nominated—that William became archbishop of York. When he entered the city that spring after years of exile, he …More
On 17 May, Ukrainian FEMEN activist Inna Shevchenko, 35, staged a performance at the neo-Gothic St Elisabeth's Church in Vienna, Austria. The event was part of the 2025 Vienna Festival Weeks (Wiener Festwochen), which had a pagan theme entitled "Republic of Gods". Shevchenko has campaigned for abortion, homosexuality and blasphemy, usually half-naked. In 2012, she cut down a large wooden cross in Kyiv. In October 2025, Pope Leo XIV appointed Josef Grünwidl as Archbishop of Vienna. He was widely regarded as one of the most liberal priests in the archdiocese. Shevchenko Presents "New Form of Liturgy" At St Elisabeth's Church, Shevchenko was dressed in black. She presented what the organisers described as a 'new form of liturgy'. The event was even advertised as an "alternative Mass". Standing before the altar, Shevchenko asked, "Who speaks?" A women's choir responded, "Woman." She then wrote the word 'Woman' on a sign, held it aloft and began a speech centred on her interpretation of …More
1) How fierce is the spiritual battle? a) Daniel 10:13-14 "The prince of the kingdom of Persia has been resisting me for twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to my assistance. I have left him confronting the kings of Persia and have come to tell you what will happen to your people in the days to come”. b) 1 Corinthians 15:30–32; Why do we put ourselves in danger all the time? Every day I face death—yes, brothers and sisters! My glory lies in Christ Jesus our Lord, for every day I face the danger of death. I fought against the beasts in Ephesus for the sake of humanity. c) Acts 19:13-16 “Some itinerant Jewish exorcists also tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, ‘I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.’ There were seven sons of a certain Jewish high priest named Sceva who did this. But the evil spirit answered them, ‘I know Jesus, and I know who Paul is, but who are you?’ And the man possessed by the evil spirit …More
Pape Léon XIV à Madrid : des foules immenses, le Christ au centre ktotv Madrid a vécu un dimanche exceptionnel : 1,2 million de personnes rassemblées pour la plus grande messe du pontificat de Léon XIV. Une splendide procession de la Fête-Dieu conforme à la tradition espagnole. Et surtout, au-delà des images, la force des paroles du Pape : cette religiosité n'est pas un folklore, c'est une école de foi, capable de transformer des vies. Le soir, devant le monde du sport et de la culture, Léon XIV a osé la grande question : l'Europe serait-elle encore elle-même sans l'empreinte du christianisme ? Et il a répondu avec la formule de ses prédécesseurs : "N'ayez pas peur ! Ouvrez grand les portes au Christ !". Le récit de cette deuxième journée du voyage en Espagne avec nos envoyés spéciaux, Philippine de Saint Pierre et Alic Bonneton.
That's not what trump did. He admitted he "brought up" the case for Lai. That's all he did. He didn't fight or argue his case and release at all. And trump will say what the people want him to say. But I always live by, actions speak louder than words. Just think of Carrie Prejean and what he did to her!.
Lebanon entrusted to Mary in a powerful national consecration | Shalom World News In a nation still marked by the scars of conflict, fear, and deep uncertainty, the Maronite Patriarchate in Bkerké led Lebanon in a solemn act of consecration, entrusting the country to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Against the backdrop of a land burdened by war and its lingering destruction, a procession of faith set out in prayer toward the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa. Clergy and faithful walked together as the wounded nation prayed for healing—its streets echoing not only with hymns, but also with the silent weight of loss, displacement, and longing for peace. The march became more than a ritual; it was a collective cry rising from people seeking refuge, unity, and hope. As Lebanon faces the fragility left by years of turmoil, the pilgrimage to Harissa stood as a powerful symbol of endurance, placing a nation’s brokenness into the hands of the Virgin Mary and invoking her intercession for …More
Virginia’s Department of Health is recommending infants ages 6 to 11 months receive a MMR vaccine — earlier than the age recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Doctors and other vaccine experts told The Defender that Virginia’s guidance is “reckless” and “not grounded in science.” The state’s recommendations also include an accelerated measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination schedule, advising that infants get the second dose in the two-dose MMR series 28 days after the first. Virginia’s recommendation comes in response to a recent measles outbreak in Buckingham County, which as of Tuesday had reached 54 cases. The state’s MMR vaccine guidance was included in a May 13 letter from Virginia State Health Commissioner Cameron Webb. The recommendations call for infants ages 6 to 11 months to “get an early dose of the MMR vaccine,” and two more doses at the AAP’s recommended ages, at least 28 days apart. …
A new investigation into the destruction of a monument dubbed 'America’s Stonehenge' has shed light on conspiracy theories about what may have fueled its 2022 bombing. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s six-part podcast, Who Blew Up the Guidestones?, examines why the Georgia Guidestones became a target of fringe speculation over global elites, satanic rituals, and UFOs. With so many theories swirling over the supposed nefarious nature of the monument - historians said it was only a matter of time before rampant paranoia would lead to its destruction. The 19-foot granite structure near Elberton was destroyed on July 6, 2022, when an explosive device detonated at around 4.30am. Authorities said ‘unknown individuals’ carried out the attack. Surveillance footage showed a vehicle fleeing the scene, and the remaining slabs were later demolished for safety reasons. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. The Guidestones were commissioned in 1979 by an elusive man who wanted …
