Nick Sortor @nicksortor HOLY CRAP! The Iranian-flagged ship Touska, which the US military seized yesterday, was in-bound from China “loaded with dual-use chemicals used to manufacture ballistic missiles,” per WP US Marines are now searching 5,000 containers on board. No wonder they tried to run the blockade.
Kash Patel files $250M suit against The Atlantic Patel accused the magazine of publishing a “sweeping, malicious, and defamatory hit piece” What happened FBI Director Kash Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit on Monday accusing The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick of publishing a “sweeping, malicious, and defamatory hit piece” designed to destroy his “reputation and drive him from office.” Fitzpatrick, citing more than two dozen unidentified sources, reported last week that Patel was “deeply concerned that his job is in jeopardy” and “has good reasons to think so,” as his “conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences” have alarmed FBI and Justice Department officials. Who said what “We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel” and “will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit,” the publication said in a statement. As a public figure, Patel will have to prove “actual malice,” a “higher standard than an ordinary citizen …More

During his flight to Equatorial Guinea, Pope Leo XIV responded to questions regarding a potential future consistory. “That is a question that many people want to ask,” he said. He then made it clear that no decision had yet been taken on the timing of a new consistory. "We need to consider the matter from a broader global perspective," he added, also suggesting that the African continent is being given attention.
Today, Leo XIV commented on the possibility of the next consistory and the creation of new cardinals: 'No decision has yet been made on when new cardinals will be created. We need to consider the issue from a global perspective. We hope that, in the near future — or perhaps a little further down the line — the appointment of a new cardinal for Angola can be considered, and that this will be the case for Africa, and perhaps even for Angola.”
The late great ALAIN DELON’s parents divorced when he was 4yrs old and put him up for adoption - so his answer when asked — “if God exists what would you ask him after your death?” — hits me hard every time.
So sincere and real! It so speaks to our need for and love of our parents, and how as parents we must nurture that love and build on it. It is so sad when even people who have been successfully adopted miss their real parents.

The oldest prayer from the Apostles that miraculously still exists… Three years after the crucifiction, St Thomas sent Thaddeus to Edessa. Thaddeus not only brought the word, he brought the oldest Anaphora. This was a Eucharistic Prayer *from Jerusalem* which was prayed by the *Apostles themselves*. This prayer was kept alive in the Assyro-Chaldean churches, which are slowly going extinct. A prayer from the time of Christ. Not a few centuries later. Saving ancient Christianity = saving the prayers & treasures of the Apostles.

On 17 March (St Patrick’s Day), a liturgical dance was performed during the Eucharist at Clonard Monastery in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Girls from a local dance school processed the offertory gifts to the altar and sprang around it.
To commemorate St. Patrick's Day, the Church of Clonard Monastery in Belfast invited eight dancers to prepare the altar for Mass (March 2026)
Saint Patrick's Day is right in the middle of Lent. Eating the meat wasn't bad enough; Lent is a 40-day season of repentance, reflection, and preparation. It acts as a "spiritual reset" focused on turning away from sin (repentance) and toward God, primarily through prayer, fasting, and charity in preparation for Easter. It involves self-examination and turning to God, starting on Ash Wednesday

James Martin in leaked audio: There has been a “step forward,” not a full change in doctrine. Martin points to Fiducia Supplicans, approved under Pope Francis. It allows priests to give non-liturgical, spontaneous blessings to same-sex couples. These are not marriages and not formal ceremonies. Recognition of “goodness” in these relationships. He emphasizes that the Church is beginning to acknowledge positive elements (love, commitment, faith) in same-sex couples. Change is gradual, not revolutionary. The Church is “moving,” but slowly. What may seem minor in Western countries is very controversial globally, especially in parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Pastoral shift driven by real people. The growing visibility of LGBTQ individuals (family members, parishioners) is pushing the Church to engage more compassionately and realistically.

Saint Conrad of Parzham | The Humble Porter Saint | Feast Day April 21st | Saint Story for Kids Saint Conrad (1818–1894) was a German Capuchin friar who spent most of his life serving as a porter—the one who opened the door of the monastery. Day after day, he welcomed visitors, helped the poor, and served everyone with kindness, patience, and humility. To the world, his work seemed small… But in God’s eyes, it was filled with great love. He is remembered for: His deep humility and simplicity His faithful service in ordinary tasks His love for the poor and those in need Saint Conrad reminds us that holiness is not about doing big things… but doing small things with great love.
