Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …More
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.
Fri Apr 17, 2026 - 12:26 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In a recent interview with Matt Fradd on his podcast Pints With Aquinas, Father John Perricone described how Mother Teresa had once told him that receiving the Holy Eucharist on the hand was the worst evil she had seen in her decades as a religious. During the podcast, which first aired April 13, Perricone recalled having breakfast with Mother Teresa, who had attended his Mass on several occasions, and how he had asked the nun about the most evil thing she had seen in her work with the most vulnerable across the globe. The priest emphasized how, without hesitation, the sainted nun said, “Communion in the hand.” “I remember once I said, ‘Mother, you’ve been in the worst areas, sectors of the world imaginable, and you’ve seen the greatest evils. Tell me, of all the things that you’ve seen, what can you tell me is the worst evil you’ve come across?” he recalled. “I suspected she was going to say abortion or euthanasia, (but) she looked …
Showing respect for Our Savior now requires repentance!Wow! If you do the Research you will find that the practice of communion in the hand was allowed only by Cardinal Bernardines probable fraud and deceit ,so it is actually illicit.
Leaving the video and a new video from Iran. New security footage released by the Iranian Red Crescent on Sunday provides a harrowing account of an airstrike hitting a civilian hospital in Tehran amid the ongoing 2026 conflict. The precision blast, which Tehran officials attribute to joint U.S. and Israeli forces, sent shockwaves through a neonatal unit and intensive care wards, forcing medical staff to evacuate newborn infants from incubators manually as power systems failed. The Iranian Red Crescent has labeled the incident a "catastrophic blow" to civilian infrastructure and a violation of medical neutrality. While military sources maintain that strikes have targeted adjacent IRGC naval assets, the footage documents systemic damage to the Valiasr Hospital and the Shahid Rajaei medical complex, leaving thousands without immediate access to critical care.

Perhaps the clearest philosophical truth of our age is this: a disturbing portion of humanity is so blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome, petty economic fluctuations, and shallow political thinking that they cannot comprehend the magnitude of what President Donald J. Trump has achieved. While they obsess over the price of gasoline, history is being rewritten in the Middle East through the force of his courage and leadership. That is not mere disagreement. That is a profound failure to recognize true significance when it stands directly before them. They just cannot admit his genius. x.com/sircensorlot/status/2045261079442325860
Catholics do not put their hope in princes, but justice requires us to acknowledge facts. Real achievements happened where others failed for decades. Obsessing over gas prices while ignoring less suffering in the Holy Land is not prudence. It is the materialism the Church has always condemned. True peace comes only from Christ the Prince of Peace. Let us thank God for these fruits, pray to Our Lady Queen of Peace to guard what has been gained, and ask protection for Christians in the region. History is written by God, not Washington.
“The multiplication of the loaves and fishes occurred during the sharing; that is the miracle,” said Pope Leo XIV in his homily at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon, on 17 April, which was attended by around 120,000 people. He continued: ‘There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken not with a snatching hand, but with a giving hand.” Common heresy in the Francis era Here, Leo XIV reflects an idea that Pope Francis has returned to several times: that the multiplication of the loaves is not about a supernatural increase in food, but a transformation of human hearts that leads to sharing. During the Angelus on 26 July 2015, Francis said that 'the miracle does not consist in the multiplication itself, but in the sharing'. At the Angelus on 29 July 2018, and in various weekday homilies at Santa Marta, Francis reiterated that the true sign is not a miracle, but a change in attitude; the crowd learns to share. On 25 July 2021, Francis …More
Prevost Bows Before Islam Prevost deserves to receive the Oscar for Best Actor. His audacity in apostatizing while remaining disguised as the Pope defies all fiction. x.com/HerdImmunity12/status/2044331909392605508
This post furthers the Marxist dilectic by exposing its anti-Catholic bias towards MAGA/Zionism. I read in it, "But when a left wing ideologue wants to bash a conservative American President, facts can be most inconvenient."
John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …More

Deuxième dimanche après Pâques dit « Du bon Pasteur » – « Je suis le Bon-Pasteur : je connais mes brebis et mes brebis me connaissent. » Ce Dimanche est désigné sous l’appellation populaire de Dimanche du bon Pasteur, parce qu’on y lit à la Messe le passage de l’Évangile de saint Jean où notre Seigneur se donne à lui-même ce titre. Un lien mystérieux unit ce texte évangélique au temps où nous sommes ; car c’est en ces jours que le Sauveur des hommes, établissant et consolidant son Église, commença par lui donner le Pasteur qui devait la gouverner jusqu’à la consommation des siècles. A LA MESSE. L’Introït respire le triomphe. Empruntant les accents de David, il célèbre la miséricorde du Seigneur qui s’est étendue à la terre entière, par la fondation de l’Église. Les cieux, qui signifient les Apôtres dans le langage mystérieux de l’Écriture, ont été affermis par le Verbe de Dieu, le jour où il leur a donné Pierre pour Pasteur et pour fondement. Dans la Collecte, la …
"Christ readily and humbly accepts what others may think of Him in performing this gesture. Because everything that He sets out to accomplish is based in love and taught in charity, that others may follow in His footsteps to Eternal life."
Imam greets Leo "in the name of Allah" in Catholic cathedral. Gloria TV: On 16 April, Pope Leo XIV presided over an interreligious peace meeting inside St Joseph's Cathedral in Bamenda, Cameroon. El Hadj Mohammed Aboubakar, the chief imam of Buea, gave a speech on behalf of the Muslim community and greeted Leo XIV with the Islamic greeting, As-salāmu ʿalaykum, adding: "I greet you in the name of Allah, who is most compassionate, the most merciful". By his sin of omission, Robert Prevost confirms Muslims in their rejection of the true God, allowing them to continue trampling upon and despising Christ as Redeemer. The pro-Islamic Prevost defends neither the true God nor the Catholic faith in his apostate interreligious facades for peace. —He mocks God and the Catholic faith, in collusion with those who deny the Prince of Peace and worship false gods. Here, too, we see the lack of mercy of the impostor Prevost, for an act of mercy consists in correcting those who err. He is hireling who …
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 And in every wicked deception designed for those who are perishing [@Jeffrey Ade] because they refused to accept the love of the truth and thereby gain salvation. For this reason, God imposes on them [@Jeffrey Ade] a powerful delusion. They believe what is false, so that all who have not believed the truth but instead have taken pleasure in wickedness will be condemned.
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Our Lord’s words of admonishment to the bride about true and false wisdom, and about how good angels aid the wise who are good while devils aid the wise who are evil. Chapter 33 “My friends are like scholars who have three things: First, a reasonable understanding above what is natural to the brain. Second, wisdom without human aid, for I myself teach them inwardly. Third, they are full of the sweetness and divine love with which they defeat the devil. But nowadays people study in a different way. First, they want to be wise out of vainglory in order to be called good clerks and masterly scholars. Second, they want to be wise in order to own and win riches. Third, they want to be wise in order to win honors and privileges. That is why I leave them when they go to their schools and enter there, since they study because …More
"My friends pray for bread, because they seek and learn the wisdom of God where my love is. But others, however, pray for straw, that is, worldly wisdom. For just as straw is useless for man to eat but, is instead, the food of irrational animals, so too there is neither use for the worldly wisdom that they seek nor nourishment for the soul, but only a small name and useless work. For when a man dies, all his wisdom is eradicated into nothing and he can no longer be seen by those who used to praise him."
