Acerra chiama, il Papa risponde: il 23 maggio arriva Acerra si prepara a un abbraccio che profuma di storia e di riscatto. La visita di papa Leone ad Acerra, fissata per il prossimo 23 maggio, non è solo un evento da segnare sul calendario, ma un grido che parte dal cuore della Terra dei Fuochi. Il vescovo Antonio Di Donna lo ha detto chiaramente in una conferenza stampa affollata: il Papa non arriva per risolvere tutto con un tocco di magia, ma per dare voce a chi per anni è rimasto invisibile. In una terra che ha pagato un conto salatissimo all’inquinamento, l’attesa è febbrile. Tra misure di sicurezza imponenti e migliaia di transenne, la città si trasforma nel palcoscenico di una speranza che non vuole morire, pronta a riaccogliere quel filo di giustizia che si era spezzato durante la pandemia.
'We all know the top saints who can help us with specific needs. But how about impossible cases? That would be the job for St. Rita. Make her your patron saint and find out how she can help you now. Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain her amazing story!'
Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote a blog post on May 21 about the synodal “occupational therapy” ordered by the Vatican. Main points slightly shortened. - What comes from Rome — the workshop behind the universally proclaimed synodal process — is human wisdom. Apparently, its protagonists have nothing better to do than keep issuing instructions to local churches on how to manage and sustain this synodal process, a stillbirth from the start. - It is the full-time actors of this dysfunctional, committee-run Church who busy themselves - at great expense - with commissioned management tools and synodal papers. - Nothing comes of it except ever more documents to read, heterodox study results, and newly invented committees — on top of the many already existing ones. - By now, it has become clear what this process aims at: restructuring the Church’s longstanding doctrinal positions on divorce and remarriage, homosexuality and the broader queer agenda, the synodal democratization of …More
President Trump: We will not rest until Cubans have freedom President Trump is looking at Cuba (see here) as he continues his work to purge the hemisphere of Deep State government now that the sociopath Raul Castro has been indicted. Readers of this Blog will recall how, beginning with Francis, the sociopathic dictator was welcome at the Vatican. See here and here. Pope Pius IX described socialism as a "fatal pest" and an "infamous doctrine" that fundamentally opposes the Church and natural law. Pope Pius XI socialism quote explicitly addressed socialism in his 1931 encyclical, Quadragesimo Anno, asserting forcefully that, "No one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist." The Holy See has actively maintained diplomatic relations with the murderous Marxist-Leninist Cuban government. Reports indicate that the Cuban government has sought the Pope's diplomatic assistance to encourage the easing of U.S. embargoes. Indeed it seems that Raul Castro, a Marxist-Leninist …

The Diocese of Capua is investigating claims that a fiberglass statue of Padre Pio in Casalba near Naples shed a tear first noticed on April 18. Parish priest Don Girolamo Capuano says he reviewed April security footage and found no evidence of tampering. The diocese is examining the substance seen on the statue. The case has drawn pilgrims and national media attention, while Church authorities remain cautious after a previous “weeping statue” in the same town was later explained by rainwater leakage.

Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg, Germany, is "totally fascinated" by Pope Leo XIV, praising him for emphasising unity and opposing "nationalism". The bishop offered this praise in an interview with K-TV.org on 15 May. He also applauded Leo XIV’s willingness to confront powerful political figures and praised him for "standing up to Trump". "That impresses me greatly," said Bishop Jung. He added: "I rejoice very much in this calm, thoughtful manner." He also revived discussion of his favourite topics: married priests ('viri probati'), the position of women in the Church, and whether lay people could be authorised to preach — a practice which is already widespread and even expected in many German dioceses. Bishop Jung identified only one minor problem within the German Synodal Way: insufficient coordination with Rome. According to him, the German bishops now want to "take the next steps" together with the Vatican. #newsOevherwnwz
Zioni*sts control about 90% of the US Congress, says Judge Andrew Napolitano. They couldn't bear a single person challenging them. So they spent $35m, a record in a district primary, to defeat Republican Thomas Massie, Trump's nemesis ---------- INTERVIEW: The President is so thin-skinned he can't tolerate articulate criticism ---------- Follow #MOATS 553 X: @JudgingFreedom #GeorgeGalloway#ThomasMassie#Trump#Kentucky trump killing more fishermen.

[Saint Catharine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; Aged 62-63; mystic, known for her work among the sick and the poor] ‘St. Gertrude and the Holy Souls Our Blessed Lord once said to the Saint : " If a soul is delivered by prayer from Purgatory I accept it as if I had myself been delivered from captivity, and I will assuredly reward it according to the abundance of my mercy" The religious also behold many souls meeting before her to testify their gratitude for their deliverance from Purgatory, through the prayers which had been offered for her, and which she had not needed. As St. Gertrude prayed fervently before matins on the blessed night of the Resurrection, the Lord Jesus appeared to her full of majesty and glory. Then she cast herself at His feet, to adore Him devoutly and humbly, saying: "O glorious Spouse, joy of the angels, Thou who hast shown me the favor of choosing me to be Thy spouse, who am the least of Thy creatures …More
"Then Our Lord, having favored her with many caresses, showed her a great multitude of souls who were freed from their pains, saying : " Behold, I Have given them to you as a recompense for your rare affection ; and through all eternity they will acknowledge that they have been delivered by your prayers, and you will be honored and glorified for it." She replied: *' How many are they ? " He answered: " This knowledge belongs to God alone."

"Et nos credidimus caritati. “And we have believed in charity” /1 Jn. 4:16/ Dear confreres and members of the Society, It is with great pleasure that, following the public announcement of the consecrations and a series of explanations, I can finally address you in a more personal manner. I would like to share with you some advice to help us in our moral and spiritual preparation as members of the Society. It is this preparation that will enable us, in turn, to accompany the faithful during this time. The Necessity and Context of the Consecrations There is no shortage of apologetical arguments. It is a matter of preserving the Faith, and all the means necessary to transmit it. It is a question of bringing the Faith to life in people's souls. While the state of necessity could already be invoked in 1988, this state of necessity is, unfortunately, even more evident in 2026. This explains why the Society's decision is met with an understanding that extends far beyond its borders. There is …More

[St. Anthony of Padua XII-XIII Century AD; born: Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/died: Padua, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 35); powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick; canonized less than a year after his death; Doctor of the Church] 13 ~ The Apparition of the Holy Child The Friars Minor had no monastery within the walls of Padua, the nearest one, at Arcella, outside the city, being about three-quarters of an hour s walk. It often happened that, owing to the gates being closed early in the evening, it was impossible for the saint on account of his missionary work, to return home. But he easily found a night s shelter among his friends, who were only too happy to have him for their guest. Tito Borghese, Count of Campo San Pietro, one of the saint s dearest friends, was among the few whom he honored the most with his presence. This noble man had so great a veneration for him that he carefully noted down all that took place during …More
" Once, when thus visiting him, he noticed an extra ordinary light piercing through the chinks of the saint s apartments. Anxious to discover the cause of this, he drew near, and to his great surprise saw through the cracks of the door St. Anthony holding a beautiful child in his arms, whom he was lovingly caressing. His host was first at a loss to understand how this lovely infant had entered the apartment of his guest, but soon discovered, through his majestic bearing and the rapture of Si. Anthony, that the child was no other than our divine Lord, who, under this form, had come to console, encourage and strengthen His faithful servant."
