attributed to Lorenzo Monaco (Piero di Giovanni)
(c. 1370–1425)
In a moment of rapturous love, Saint Francis of Assisi composed a hymn of praise to Our Lady, which begins with a striking list of her glories: “Hail, Lady, holy Queen, Mary, holy Mother of God, you who as a virgin have been made the Church!” The early-15th-century Camaldolese painter Lorenzo Monaco may not have been thinking of these exact words when he created his breathtaking Intercession of Christ and the Virgin, but his painting unveils their inner meaning with an unsurpassed richness. To think of Mary is to think of Christ—and of his Body, the Church.
The virgin intercessor
Mary kneels in the right-hand corner of the painting, draped somewhat unusually in a cream-white garment, which reveals in its folds a lining of regal yellow. Her golden halo calls attention to the reflecting glimmers of divine light that adorn her drapery, from the sunburst on her shoulder to the paradisical …More

Infunde amorem cordibus
This sort of image of the Holy Spirit, alone, flooding the world with its rays, was frequently used from the 13th century on, as a supplement to the depiction of Pentecost, especially in works of private devotion. Its purpose was to show that although the Holy Spirit was indeed sent to the apostles—on Pentecost—so that they and their successors might be the authentic witnesses of Jesus to the ends of the earth, …More

Homosex-Propaganda: Transvestites "Must Be Accepted and Integrated” - Pope Francis
Sister Jeannine Gramick, a homosexual activist who belongs to the School Sisters of Notre Dame, wrote to Francis that the 8 April document "Dignitas Infinita" "harms" transvestites whom "I love". …More
Playing on emotions, she wrote to Francis of "my sadness" and "my disappointment".
Francis replied and Gramick published quotes from her correspondence with him on NewWaysMinistry.org (1 May).
He writes: "Gender ideology is something other than homosexuals or transsexuals. Gender ideology makes everyone equal without respect for personal history. I understand the concern about this paragraph in Dignitas Infinita, but it does not refer to transgender people, but to gender ideology, which nullifies differences. Transgender people must be accepted and integrated into society". What Francis means by "gender ideology" is clear only to himself.
Francis recommended Robert Hugh Benson's novel 'The Lord of the World' to Gramick, which he says "depicts this movement to erase differences" - an interpretation …More

Another Letter: Francis Encourages Homosexual Propaganda
On 30th April, Francis sent a letter to Drachma, a group of Maltese parents of homosexuals who promote homosexual sins. Francis, who still hasn't reacted to the Dubia of the four cardinals, replied …More
Francis, who still hasn't reacted to the Dubia of the four cardinals, replied within seven days (!) to a letter from Drachma dated 23 Apri. The letter effusively flatters Francis but criticises the text of "Dignitas Infinita" for, among other things, condemning genital mutilation.
Although very sensitive to criticism, Bergoglio responded by pretending to receive their criticism with an "open heart" and praising the "very beautiful and good" work of Drachma.
NcrOnline.org obtained both letters, but didn't publish their full contents. The letter was hand-delivered to Francis by Andrea Conocchia, the parish priest of Torvaianica near Rome and supporter of male prostitutes in the area.

Regime News Agency: Catholics Take Over Church in the USA

• “Across the U.S., the Catholic Church is undergoing an immense shift. Generations of Catholics who embraced the modernising tide [=secularisation] sparked in the 1960s by Vatican II are increasingly giving way to religious conservatives [he means: people who love the Church] who believe [he means: who understand] the church has been twisted by change, with the promise of eternal salvation replaced by guitar Masses, parish-food and casual indifference to church doctrine.”
• “The shift, moulded by plummeting church attendance, increasingly traditional [=Catholic] priests and growing numbers of young Catholics searching for more orthodoxy, has reshaped parishes across the country, leaving them sometimes at odds with Francis and much of the [ex]-Catholic world.” …More

Second Attempt: Cardinal Pizzaballa Takes Possession of His Church

This church is home to the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. It was packed. In his homily, the Cardinal said that people could not wait for the US to resolve the war in Gaza:
"These are difficult moments, but they are also moments of hope, because perhaps something is moving in the current negotiations, hopefully. We must never give up. In any case, the situation remains very dramatic, serious and difficult. In addition to the military problems, which exist and are serious, there is the humanitarian problem in Gaza."

Spanish Bishop: Biden’s Sign of the Cross Was Sacrilegious
Bishop José Ignacio Munilla of Orihuela-Alicante, Spain, called Joe Biden’s signing of the cross over himself at a pro-abortion rally a “desecration of the sign of the cross”. Munilla made the comment …More
Using the sign of the cross as Biden did, while supporting the killing of unborn children, is to “invoking the cross in a sacrilegious way.”
And, “Invoking Jesus Christ in support of abortion” has drawn strong criticism “in many pro-life and Catholic circles.”
Regarding the upcoming election, Munilla asked: “In a nation like the United States, shouldn’t there be [candidates] from both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party with enough moral stature to properly represent their parties to the electorate?”
He added, “Consider what Biden represents with his deteriorating condition, even psychologically, to run again for president with this absolute desecration of his own values, having made the cause of abortion, the …More

Cardinal Ambongo: Was 'Fiducia Supplicans' Buried?
Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo, of Kinshasa president of the African bishops' conferences, agrees with Cardinal Robert Sarah on Fiducia Supplicans, he said at a press conference in Nairobi on 25 April. …More
Cardinal Sarah explained last month that the document was the latest example of pushing for a "culture of relativism" rather than "the universality of the faith". The Church in Africa had been "ignored and scorned by those whose sole obsession is to please Western lobbies", he said.
According to AciAfrica.org, Ambongo commented: "I followed Cardinal Sarah's speech (in Cameroon) with great attention and I think what he said is true."
Cardinal Ambongo added that the document 'Fiducia Supplicans' was not about "cultural aspects" - as Francis had claimed. It is against "theology, morality, the Bible and the Magisterium".
People all over the world agree with the Church in Africa, he said, "so we will no longer talk about 'Fiducia Supplicans'. That text has been buried".
In reality, corrupt bishops …More
