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.
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
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!.

Throughout the week, you wake up early, prepare meals, organize the house, solve problems, take care of your loved ones, and do everything possible to make sure nothing is lacking. Many times, you end the day tired, yet you keep going because you love your family. That’s why, when Sunday arrives, remember that you also have the right to rest. Not because cooking is a bad thing, nor because taking care of your loved ones is a burden. On the contrary. But someone who is always giving also needs a moment to regain their strength. Before all else on Sunday, first go to church. Go for a walk if you feel like it. Visit someone you care about. Read a book. Sit quietly for a while. Breathe without looking at the clock. Give yourself a few hours to do something that makes you feel good. The meal can be simpler for a day. The house does not have to be perfect every minute. And your family can also help and learn to handle some things on their own. Sometimes women become so accustomed to taking …More

Selbst im Kalten Krieg war Diplomatie zu jederzeit möglich, ohne das Medien wochenlange Skandale produzierten oder sich deutsche Geheimdienstler berufen fühlten, sich in die politischen Geschicke des Landes einzumischen. Am 28. Dezember 1987 landete Franz Josef Strauß als Pilot eine zweistrahlige Cessna Citation II auf dem eigentlich wegen Schneetreibens gesperrten Flughafen Moskau-Scheremetjewo, da er nicht mehr genügend Reservetreibstoff an Bord hatte, um den empfohlenen Ausweichflughafen Minsk anzufliegen. Mit an Bord waren neben Strauß auch Theo Waigel und Edmund Stoiber. Die ungeplante Landung in der russischen Hauptstadt war ein willkommener Anlass für Gespräche mit der kommunistischen Staatsführung.
[Saint Benedict of Nursia; V-VI Century AD; born: Nursia, Kingdom of Italy/died: Mons Casinus, Eastern Roman Empire; aged 67; Father of Western Monasticism ~ Order of Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe, Rule of Saint Benedict, Saint Benedict Medal] CHAPTER VIII ~ Of the poisoned bread which a raven CAST AWAY IN A EEMOTE PLACE BY ORDER OF St. BENEDICT. THE communities which the saint had established in various parts of the desert, proving by their piety that they had nothing at heart but the love of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, many people of the world were moved to forsake it; and, banishing from their hearts feelings of pride and presumption, came to submit themselves to the yoke of the Lord. But as the wicked have a habit of envying others the benefits and happiness of virtue, although they claim it not themselves, Florence, priest of a church in the vicinity, grandfather of Florence, our sub-deacon, instigated by the spirit of evil, began to thwart the saint's designs. To this end he …More
"The means he employed to accomplish this was to introduce seven young girls, perfectly naked, into the garden of the saint's monastery. When these shameless persons arrived, linking hands, they disported long to enkindle in the hearts of the monks the flame of impure desires. The holy man, beholding them from his cell, fearing they might make some of his youngest and weakest disciples commit sin, and aware that Florence perpetrated this infamy in order to torment him, preferred to submit to envy and withdraw."

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.

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

Day two in Spain: ‘What legacy are we leaving … More than 1.2 million people celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi with Pope Leo XIV in the Plaza de Cibeles—a famous symbol of the city of Madrid—on the second day of his Apostolic Journey to Spain. Surrounded by pilgrims from across the world, the Pope reflected on the mystery the Church commemorates on this day, stressing that in Spain, Corpus Christi is more than just a liturgical celebration. The Catholic traditions in which the Spanish faith and history are rooted, including floral arrangements and solemn processions, “have for centuries shaped the piety, art, music, architecture and life of the Spanish people.” However, he stressed that these are not meant to be seen as part of an exhibition or folklore. Rather, a profession of faith. More than looking back at the history of the country, Pope Leo outlined a task for “Spain today and in the future: to ensure that the religiosity which has shaped and defined this country for …More
