Meloni had been a vociferous supporter of Trump, but she distanced herself from him after he went to war with Iran in February, and on Monday she openly criticised him for lashing out at Pope Leo, saying his verbal assault was "unacceptable".
Trump attacca anche la Meloni. Italia non rinnova accordo difesa con Israele Trump, in un'intervista al Corriere della Sera, attacca la premier Giorgia Meloni. Intanto, dopo anni di sostegno, l'Italia non rinnova l'intesa sulla cooperazione nel settore della difesa con Israele. Servizio di Augusto Cantelmi Tg2000
Trump responded in an interview with Corriere della Sera, saying Meloni was "very different from what I thought" and denouncing her for refusing to help re-open the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked by Iran. "I'm shocked by her. I thought she had courage. I was wrong," he was quoted as saying in the Italian-language article. The White House declined to comment on the reported quotes. Meloni's office also declined to comment, but politicians of all stripes rallied to her defence, including Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, head of the coalition Forza Italia party. "We are, and will remain, sincere supporters of Western unity and steadfast allies of the United States, but that unity is built on loyalty, respect and mutual frankness," he said, applauding Meloni for denouncing Trump's attack on the pope. "On Pope Leo XIV, she said exactly what all of us Italian citizens think," he added in a statement on X.
The French districts of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (Clavis.org, April 11) and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (LaPorteLatine.org, April 13) have publicly clashed over planned episcopal consecrations on July 1. FSSP Position The FSSP argues that the consecrations would be illegitimate because the episcopate, by its nature, requires communion with the Pope and the body of bishops. Consecrating bishops without papal mandate therefore contradicts the Church’s divine constitution, not merely its discipline. It responds to an argument made by the FSSPX (in a technical annex), which refers to Lumen gentium in arguing that episcopal consecration does not itself confer governing authority, and therefore such consecrations would not necessarily break Church unity. The FSSP rejects this interpretation, arguing that - even if jurisdiction is not automatically given - episcopal functions can only be exercised within hierarchical communion. Acting without papal mandate leads in …More

"But from that very hour in which, with God's help, he can overcome his selfhood—that is to say when he is so detached from himself that he is able to leave in the keeping of God everything of which he has need—behold, through doing this he is so well pleasing to God that God bestows upon him His grace. And, through grace, he feels true love: and love casts out doubt and fear, and fills the man with hope and trust, and thus he becomes a faithful servant, and means and loves God in all that he does. Behold, this is the difference between the faithful servant and the hireling.”
[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] “Chapter VI ~ OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HIRELINGS AND THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF GOD NOW you may mark this: that some men receive the gifts of God as hirelings, but others as faithful servants of God; and these differ one from another in all inward works, that is, in love and intention, in feeling and in every exercise of the inward life. Now understand this well: all those who love themselves so inordinately that they will not serve God, save for their own profit and because of their own reward, these separate themselves from God, and dwell in bondage and in their own selfhood; for they seek, and aim at, their own, in all that they do. And therefore, with all their prayers and with all their good works, they seek after temporal things, or may be strive after eternal things for their own benefit and for their own profit.…More
Trump’s Attacks on Pope Leo Create Fresh Midterm Headaches for G.O.P. nytimes.com/…04/14/us/politics/trump-attacks-pope… Republicans are counting on the votes of Catholics to maintain control of Congress. President Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo XIV are causing fresh headaches for Republicans, who are counting on the votes of Catholics to maintain control of Congress in this year’s midterm elections. Mr. Trump’s broadsides against Leo this week prompted widespread condemnation from Catholic bishops, activists and lay leaders, who accused the president of being “disrespectful,” “offensive” and “immature.” Mr. Trump’s decision to pick a fight with Leo, the first American pontiff, is the latest in a series of episodes this spring that have complicated efforts by Republicans to make the case that they are tackling what voters say is their central concern this year: the rising cost of living. First, Mr. Trump went to war with Iran, opening a rift with prominent leaders of his MAGA movement …More
The Ontario's government announced yesterday that it intends to pass legislation called, Putting Student Achievement First Act. This is to make changes to public and separate education. The government claims it's to improve school board governance, student learning and teacher training. The Doug Ford government has taken over the governance of eight school boards. It was done over the concern of financial mismanagement, growing deficits, and depleted reserves. The boards under supervision are: Toronto District School Board (TDSB), Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), Peel District School Board (PDSB), York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB), Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB), Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB), Near North District School Board (NNDSB), Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB). These boards will remain under supervision until fiscal mismanagement and governance issues are fully resolved. Some of the changes are to reduce …
The latest outburst from Donald J. Trump is a direct and unusually aggressive attack on Pope Leo XIV. Trump wrote on social media that Leo XIV is “weak on crime” and “a disaster in foreign policy”. “He talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart.” Trump does “not want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers and drug dealers into our Country.” “And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE …More

“We are working in our own small way, with our limited manpower, to bring about an Imperfect General Council that will publicly recognise the present Catholic disaster that has no way out but through,” said Father Michael Mary, head of the Congregation of the Transalpine Redemptorists, in an interview with ThePress.co.nz on 10 April. The group was expelled from the Christchurch Diocese in New Zealand in July 2024 following allegations, primarily concerning unauthorised exorcism practices. The priests denied any wrongdoing. In October 2025, the community repudiated “false shepherds” and recent papal documents without explicitly declaring the papal office vacant. Their proposed “council” would consist of bishops acting without papal authority, though no names have been given: “There are Catholics all over the world left in ‘Catholic bunkers’ who know what is going on. It is a matter of reaching out to them.” Toward Electing a "Pope"? To justify the idea, Father Michael Mary invokes …More
So I decided to post something which will be telling about the people of Iran. Never-before-seen footage shows Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei visiting and meeting with the families of Christian martyrs, released for the first time on Christmas. Imagine a country where everyone got along. NO ONE FORCED their evil ideologies on one another as trump is trying o do in Iran to accept gays. People who love and care for each other. People who respect each other. People who actually get along with one another. No matter the faith. That's how GOD Will's it. NO FORCING! But with pure love for one another. First-ever footage: Sayyed Ali Khamenei visits Christian martyrs’ families -------------
Leo XIV's current visit to Algeria is (also) personal. In 2004, Father Prevost participated in a pilgrimage to mark the 1650th anniversary of Saint Augustine’s birth, reports IlGiornale.it on 13 April. Due to security concerns, the group had been heavily escorted by police and had been restricted to a brief visit to Annaba (ancient Hippo). No broader travel inside Algeria was considered safe at the time. They were strongly advised not to spend the night in Algeria, which is why they returned to Tunisia the same day. Fr Prevost was dressed entirely in civilian clothes, as usual. Returning now as Pope, he revisits those same places. Picture: Conversation Nico Spuntoni, #newsJsaejrgunk
