Something "doesn’t add up" with Leo XIV’s planned surgery for a 3 mm pulmonary nodule. Today, Leo XIV, 71, personally announced that he will undergo surgery for a small pulmonary nodule detected during recent medical examinations. The Vatican press office – notorious for downplaying the health problems of popes – confirmed that the procedure has been scheduled and that hospitalization is expected to last approximately seven days. According to Corriere.it, hospitalization is expected to begin next Wednesday. Infobae.com reports that sources at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital indicated that the lesion measures three millimeters. Dr. Ana María Putruele, a pulmonologist, former head of the Pulmonology Division at the José de San Martín Clinical Hospital (UBA), and adjunct consulting professor of pulmonology at UBA, expressed surprise at the reported size: “Three millimeters is actually very small to be able to remove surgically.” Given the lesion’s reported size, the specialist suggested that the …More
He wants to divert his followers' attention to another emotional topic, after having stirred up the believers for three days to go against the sixth commandment.
Well, this doesn't seem right. Who actually believes Zelensky will hold an election? If you do, you haven't been paying attention to what has been said and done in the US or West.
They have been pushing Putin for a temporary ceasefire instead of a peace treaty for too long now. All of a sudden Zelensky is willing to have an election held? I don't believe any of these fairy tales. Or horror tales. They are up to something no good. You can count on it. Trump said, he was going to nuke RUSSIA AND IRAN. Now he is off begging Putin for help? Zelensky is now ok with holding an election? I don't buy any of it. Putin is being set up. He better watch his back. His security is first rate. They are very good at what they do. And they keep their eyes scanning everyone at all times and still don't keep their eyes off their beloved President.
"IF"! And I do mean IF there is an election. I see one of two things that will happen. The elections will be rigged. Or they will replace him with someone worse than Zelensky. There is only those two choices. We know how the US and West work. They never do anything by the law. Or have good intentions for us, but only for themselves.
As Auxiliary Bishop, Menezes defended the "LGBTQ+ Vigil Welcome Mass": "In my conversations with some members of the group, they find attending Mass in a parish difficult against the backdrop of what they sometimes see to be a Church that does not accept them. This means that they find a Mass at which they know that they are accepted, which is a first step to hopefully full integration in our parish communities."
Leo XIV appoints another Bishop for England. He defended a homosexual Eucharist. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Bishop Timothy Menezes, 56, as the Bishop of Brentwood, succeeding Bishop Alan Williams, 75. Menezes has served as Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham since his episcopal consecration in July 2024. As such, he defended the periodic homosexual Eucharists at St Patrick's parish in Coventry. The homosexual group there emerged from the Synodal process. Menezes wrote a June 1, 2025 statement about the "LGBTQ+ Vigil Welcome Mass" on May 10, 2025 : “In my conversations with some members of the group, they find attending Mass in a parish difficult against the backdrop of what they sometimes see to be a Church that does not accept them. This means that they find a Mass at which they know that they are accepted, which is a first step to hopefully full integration in our parish communities.” Notably, Bishop Menezes commented in support of the homosex Eucharist although Coventry was not within …More

I fear to think of what their judgment will be when they stand before God to give an account of their Priesthood and the Sacred Ministries with which they were entrusted.....
“Today all that is being repeated. After the resignation of Pope Benedict, which was forced—forced by men in the Vatican—they began to rebuild the episcopate throughout the world. The new bishops, all liberals. And who was the last head of the Congregation for Bishops? Robert Prevost, from Chicago, Cardinal Prevost, who became Pope Leo. There is a very great conflict, a war being waged inside the Church, which could have happened with Paul VI and with John Paul II, but which is happening today, with a majority mentality of liberal bishops who are changing the Church from within.”
The Great Vocational Inversion: How Modernity Turned the Gospel into a Safety Net The modern Church is suffering from collective amnesia, and nowhere is this more evident than in our soft, therapeutic approach to "discerning a vocation." Ask any contemporary vocation director, and you will hear a familiar, comforting script: Marriage is the baseline default for human life. Virginity or religious life is a specialized, elite calling for a heroic few. It sounds prudent. It sounds balanced. It is also a complete inversion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we dare to pull back the layers of mid-century sentimentality and look at the raw text of the Scriptures and the unanimous witness of the Saints, a jarring reality emerges: The radical renunciation of religious life is the baseline call for all true disciples. Marriage is not the default prize—it is the merciful safety net thrown out to catch those too weak to scale the mountain. The New Testament does not mince words about the cost of …More
The Mountains of Ararat Where the Ark Rested and the First Christian Nation Was Born For nearly two thousand years, the Christian world has looked toward the majestic peaks of Mount Ararat as the resting place of Noah’s Ark. According to the Book of Genesis, after the waters of the Flood receded, “the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat” (Genesis 8:4). That mountain — known to Armenians as Masis — stands today inside the borders of modern but still muslim country know under name Turkey. Yet for a long and decisive period of history it belonged to the Armenian Christian people, the first nation on earth to embrace the Gospel as the faith of an entire kingdom. The Mountains of Ararat
Rache? Trump schließt Diesel-Deal mit Putin und droht Selenskyj mit Informationsstopp US-Präsident Trump einigte sich (wie berichtet) mit dem russischen Präsidenten Putin auf die Lieferung von insgesamt bis zu 4,8 Millionen Tonnen Diesel an den amerikanischen und globalen Markt, nachdem der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj mehrfach Bitten ignoriert hatte, die Angriffe auf russische Ölraffinerien einzustellen. Ein US-Beamter erklärte dazu: „Selenskyj schätzt die Situation falsch ein. Indem er weiterhin Raffinerien angreift, untergräbt er das Wohwollen, das er in den letzten sechs Monaten bei Trump aufgebaut hat.“ (...) Selenskyj hatte eine gegenseitige Einstellung der Angriffe vorgeschlagen, wenn Russland die Schläge gegen ukrainische Kraftwerke stoppe, doch Washington forderte ein einseitiges Ende der ukrainischen Drohnenangriffe, da diese auch US-Verbraucher belasteten. Während der Gespräche in Miami drohten Trumps Gesandte laut ukrainischen Angaben mit einer möglichen Einstellung …More

Archbishop presents sexual morality as an “ideal” instead of “rules to follow” at current Vatican meeting. At Leo XIV’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe of Perth, Australia called for “a shift in the Church’s culture” in his October 9 address. Discussing contemporary attitudes toward sexuality, he stated that “the concept of a necessary link between sexual activity and procreation, […] is no longer widely understood or accepted.” Archbishop Costelloe advocated presenting the Church’s theology of marital intimacy as “an ideal worth striving for rather than as a list of rules and regulations to be followed.” He repeated his point: “Presenting ideals to work towards rather than rules to follow is more likely to win people over and enable them to see the values which underpin those rules and regulations.” Monsignor Costelloe stated that young couples living together before marriage are “falling short of the ideal of Chistian marriage,”…More
