The Catholic Church in Mozambique and the Consolata Missionaries are mourning the sudden death of Bishop Osório Citora Afonso, IMC, Bishop of the Diocese of Quelimane and Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Beira. The death of the 54-year-old prelate was announced by Archbishop Inácio Saúre, President of the Episcopal Conference of Mozambique, in a message addressed to the Regional Superior of the Consolata Missionaries in Mozambique, Fr. Cassiano Kalima, IMC. According to Archbishop Saúre, Bishop Afonso was found lifeless in a corridor of the episcopal residence in Quelimane, bringing to an abrupt end the life and ministry of one of Mozambique’s most promising Church leaders. Responding to the sad news, Fr. Kalima called on the faithful to pray for the repose of the bishop’s soul, his biological family, the Consolata Missionaries, and the entire Catholic Church in Mozambique. “Let us pray for his eternal rest, for his family, for us as Consolata Missionaries, and for the …More
Leo XIV Jokes About Homosexual Activist: Pope Leo XIV, en route to Spain Saturday, joked aboard the papal plane that he's competing with the homosexual activist "Bad Bunny" - who's performing in Madrid the same weekend. "Many will choose Bad Bunny," he told reporters. "But a few will come see the pope - and that says something."
Pope Leo XIV on the papal plane to Spain: “Do [young people] want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the pope? Many will go see Bad Bunny, but I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that says something, you know.”
Ha, ha, ha, ha...the sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance is so funny says the Devil! Hahahah, it's so funny to see so many burning in Hell for this, says the Devil!
Well, if giving flowers is an insult, Putin is certainly a serial offender. Over the years he has “targeted” dozens of people with those bombs of masculinity. I tried to search for the video I saw on youtube. It was titled, if giving flowers is a crime, Putin is a serial offender. But I did find this one. I didn't actually see the video just the title and skipped over it. But youtube will not show me the video. Everything came up about him and flowers but the one I searched for. The last paragraph is a little exaggerated. Putin has always given flowers out. When his wife gave birth to their first child, he also gave her flowers. As a former PM of Austria said, I enjoy Putin's company, he is an old fashioned gentleman. Yes, he is. and much more than that.
I mentioned how Putin gives flowers even to Patriarch Kirill and you can see it in the post. I never saw anyone give out so many flowers in my life. Or for that matter, I can't remember the last time any man has given flowers to a woman. As a leader or politician of any sort. Correction. This is another Patriarch he has given flowers to as well as Kirill.
Bishop Andrzej Jeż of Tarnów, the Polish Bishops' Conference delegate for municipal affairs, has backed local officials who oppose the registration of homosex marriages in Polish civil registry records. “There are higher values that must not be sacrificed for the sake of peace,” Bishop Jeż wrote in a message issued on the occasion of Local Government Day last week. His statement followed rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union and Poland's Supreme Administrative Court requiring Poland to recognize a homosex marriage lawfully contracted in Germany. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński subsequently instructed registry offices throughout the country to implement the court's decision. Bishop Jeż argued that Poland's Constitution holds “absolute precedence over European and international law” and defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. He added that no external institutions or EU courts have the right to impose a different definition of the family on …More
María Montserrat Alvarado's appointment to lead the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication raises questions about the relationship between ecclesiastical governance and Holy Orders. Writing on X.com on June 2, Spanish diocesan priest and theology professor Jaime Mercant Simó argued that, at a theological level, it is not appropriate for even a theologically less importat dicastery, such as the Dicastery for Communication, to be headed by a layperson. Rev. Mercant noted that the Roman Curia is not merely an administrative structure. Every prefect of a dicastery acts with “vicarious power” in the name of the pope. “Mrs. Alvarado will exercise effective administrative jurisdiction and will have, albeit in an internal manner, real power over the bishops, priests, and religious who work in that dicastery,” he wrote. He argued that the appointment represents a separation between the power of governance and Holy Orders, from which the Church's munus regendi (“office of governance”), …More
Montse Alvarado: Francis Beautifully Stuffed Vatican with Laypeople: During an interview for EWTN in January 2024, the next Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, Montse Alvarado, called it a “beautiful story” that Pope Francis “has really started to bring laypeople in”: “He has appointed laypeople to different dicasteries to really give us a sense of what the Church on the ground feels like.”
It is beautiful that Pope Franics stuffed the Vatican Curia with laypeople - said Montse Alvarado, the new prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, in EWTN News in January 2024.
House passes Ukraine aid bill in another GOP … They are still at it. Giving zelensky 9 billion dollars and putting more Sanctions on Russia!!!! This is what our government does. They support and help the evil doers of the world and go after those who mind their own business, seeking peace. Who do nothing but ask to just get along and help out poorer nations and countries. This is what they get for trying to good. Since trump took office they all tried to assassinate him TWICE months apart! zelensky has been bombing inside of Russia a lot since trump took office. He refuses to stop INTEL to them. NOW he is giving away Our money to the crack head in Ukraine. Let's see which house in which country he will buy next. Or how many more fur coats and expensive clothing his air head wife will buy with OUR MONEY!
Every evil person hates Russia. Wants Putin dead. Why? All he ever does is ask to get along. To help combat terrorists as he has done in Syria and countries in Africa. Reaching his hand out to everyone to help one another and help other countries who are less fortunate. How they hate anyone who is good and kind. How sickening it is to see it every day. Putin not involved with epstein, brought faith back to the Russian people. Made his country beautiful and prosperous once again. And they hate him for it. NEVER forget ursala von der leyen and what she said, we do it for their FAITH AND the new world order. That says it all right there.
Cardinal Robert Sarah spoke with LaNef.net (May 5) about Pope Francis, the return of paganism within the Church, Vatican II, and the decline of the West. Main points. On Francis' Pontificate - "Loving the pope does not mean suspending all critical intelligence." - "It would be unjust to attribute to one man alone a crisis that largely preceded him." - "We must recognize that an era can leave wounds of confusion." Paganism within the Church - "Paganism is not merely the worship of visible idols; it is also the loss of the spirit of adoration." - "When God is no longer first—even within the Church—everything else is distorted." - "When faith is reduced to sociological language, liturgy to entertainment, morality to endless negotiation, and the Church to an institution that must adapt itself to the desires of the age, then something of paganism returns." - "The world does not expect the Church to repeat its own words; it expects the Church to open heaven to it." - "Susceptibility to the …More
St. Peter of Verona's Final Witness | A Word of Hope for Thursday, June 4 Join Brother Joe Trout for today's powerful reflection on the first Dominican martyr, St. Peter of Verona (Peter Martyr), and the profound question: If you knew your next words and actions would be your last, what would they be? St. Peter of Verona's final moments reveal the depth of a life lived in faith. Struck down in the 13th century, his last words echoed Christ's own: "Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." Then, with his own blood, he wrote "Credo" - the Creed - on the ground, testifying not to himself but to the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Brother Joe explores how Peter's spontaneous final act wasn't planned but flowed naturally from who he had become through his entire life of faith. Like St. Paul in his second letter to Timothy, Peter pointed not to his own goodness but to God's saving work. This reflection challenges us to consider: How does our daily life prepare us for our final …More
Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, 59, once one of the most influential figures in the Russian Orthodox community, has been reassigned to Brazil following a drug-related investigation in the Czech Republic. The Moscow Patriarchate announced that he will serve two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. He could no longer continue his ministry in Europe for "objective reasons." Hilarion had already been removed from his position of leadership in the Russian Orthodox community in 2024, after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct. Pictures revealed that he had been living a lavish lifestyle, including hoarding money and property. The recent move follows Hilarion's detention by Czech police in late May. Acting on an anonymous tip, officers reportedly found four containers of white powder in the trunk of his car. Authorities later confirmed the substance was cocaine. Hilarion was held for two days before being released without charges and returning to Russia. Czech …More
Russian Orthodox are in Schism, they broke away from the One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church outside of which there is no salvation. Their schism and Heresy continues to facilitate the "Errors of Russia" and is why Our Lady of Fatima came to Portugal to ask for their conversion in 1917. Until they convert the Catholic Teaching is crystal clear, Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. And many nations will be annihilated.
