Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.
EMTY SEATS: Catholic Traveler had a video on X.com from yesterday's Easter Night Eucharist with Leo XIV. Screenshots (fair use)
@sp2 I see your point and you could be correct. The published pic on this site showed less than a dozen empty seats which were probably in the back of the church. Unfortunately, too many media-types on both sides of any issue are inclined to push a narrative rather than inform their readers.
@sp2 perhaps you should share with us the specific time-mark in the vid you posted where it contradicts the conclusion that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the service. The posted vid appears to only capture the seating in the front of the church.
Facial expressions and body language are more revealing than the spin doctors’ narratives. Have you ever seen Trump like this before? US fighter jets shot down, oil prices skyrocketing, no support from NATO countries, allies pulling away... He didn’t see this coming.
Girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever before — and the numbers are shocking. In the late 1800s, the average age was around 16–17. By the early 1900s it had dropped to 12.5–13. Today it’s down to about 11, with some Black and Hispanic girls showing signs as early as 8, 9, or even 6–7 years old — the earliest recorded in history. Patrick Bet-David asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary why this is happening. Makary pointed to the modern environment: constant exposure to substances and chemicals with estrogen-like binding properties (found even in river water) that partially activate estrogen receptors. He called it a “huge issue” and an existential threat to human development, noting the age has been dropping by about a week and a half every year for the last 30 years. He also mentioned that in Europe, where some of these exposures may be lower, puberty still starts later (14–15 in some cases), and that American medicine has largely treated this as a minor footnote rather than …އިތުރު
Enoch Burke @EnochBurke BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. …އިތުރު
Franca Giansoldati in the Vatican circus: a joke … In the grotesque knot that has for years tightened around the Vatican, populated by impostors forever straining towards circles that continue to keep them at a distance, the tragicomic saga of certain self-styled Vatican experts and headline fabricators goes on unabated. They form part of a well-organised clique which now seems to have lost even the most basic sense of the ridiculous to which it has surrendered itself. The April Fool’s joke that is not funny Against this backdrop, at 9.29 a.m. on 1 April, Katholisch.de published an article claiming that Pope Leo XIV was intending, at least provisionally, to settle the dispute over the pre-conciliar liturgy through an unusual compromise. The piece attributed to the Pontiff a non-existent motu proprio, significantly entitled Retrograde semper, under which the faithful would supposedly have been permitted, during Mass, to turn their backs on the priest, regardless of which …އިތުރު
Franca Giansoldati nel circo del vaticanismo: … Nel groviglio grottesco che da anni si addensa attorno al Vaticano, popolato da millantatori perennemente protesi verso ambienti che continuano a tenerli a distanza, prosegue senza tregua la saga tragicomica di certi sedicenti vaticanisti e fabbricatori di titoli, riuniti in una cricca ben organizzata che sembra aver ormai perduto perfino il senso del ridicolo al quale si è consegnata. Il pesce d’aprile che non fa ridere In questo contesto, il 1° aprile alle ore 9.29, Katholisch.de ha pubblicato un articolo nel quale sosteneva che Papa Leone XIV sarebbe intenzionato a chiudere, almeno provvisoriamente, la disputa sulla liturgia preconciliare attraverso un singolare compromesso. Il testo attribuiva infatti al Pontefice un inesistente motu proprio, significativamente intitolato Retrograde semper, con cui si sarebbe consentito ai fedeli, durante la Messa, di voltare le spalle al sacerdote, a prescindere dal messale utilizzato... articolo …އިތުރު

Fourteen thousand people registered in a single day for the 2026 Notre-Dame de Chrétienté pilgrimage on the Paris–Chartres route, compared to 6,000 on the first day last year. The pilgrimage will take place over Pentecost, from May 23 to 25, and is expected to gather 20,000 participants walking to Chartres. A new, more accessible option - the “Jerusalem Route” - has been introduced. Shorter than the traditional 100 km walk (around 70 km), it is designed for those unable to complete the full distance. Like the main route, it also ends in Chartres, allowing more pilgrims to take part in the final stages of the pilgrimage. #newsChiagvdgui

Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman BREAKING: Iran's FM Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz: It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman. The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran. For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely. Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries. x.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/2039345578287550503
Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf Islamic scholar in California, Uthman Farooq, has a message to Americans: “No one can stop Islam in America. This is NOT your country, this is OUR country. This is the land of Allah. If you want to live in a place with no Muslims, I suggest you go to hell.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "They had to destroy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine… because if they had acknowledged that it was effective in anybody, the whole $200 billion vaccine enterprise would have collapsed."
Daniel Davis on YouTube has a recent interview with Robert Barnes, a constitutional lawyer who has done commendable work, including defending the Amish during the lockdowns. In it he has a short expose on the handcuffing of JFK junior going on the current administration. Very unsettling. Carry on Christian soldiers. Mother Mary strengthen us.
"Fun Church" in Holy Week: Fr. Simon Teller, O.P., published a video on March 29 about the different ways people use palms on Palm Sunday. The examples include the deconstructionist, the artist, the hoarder, the tickler, the sword fighter, and the panda mode. Fr. Teller is a chaplain at Providence College in the United States.
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11
I agree that this video is in very bad taste because they are mocking/ridiculing a sacramental whether they realize it or not. I wouldn't consider making a cross out of the palms "artistic" but it was probably the only correct or pious way to use the palm.
Goku @ProjectGokuu Dr. Roger Seheult just revealed one of the biggest studies on sunlight. A massive Swedish study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and found that those who actively sought sun exposure had dramatically lower death rates from cancer, heart disease, and all causes. The shocking part? Sun avoiders had roughly double the overall mortality. Even heavy smokers who got plenty of sun had similar death rates to non-smokers who avoided it. Sunlight appears to extend life through vitamin D, nitric oxide, and immune support - yet we're still told to hide from it. Are you getting enough sun? — Dr. Roger Seheult (@RogerSeheult) on Steven Bartlett’s (@StevenBartlett) DOAC podcast
On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
BILL GATES admitted “Humans Will Be “OBSELETE” And “We’ll Decide” If We Still Need You! In a chilling new interview, billionaire globalist Bill Gates dropped the mask and revealed the endgame for humanity. "Due to advances in AI, humans will no longer be needed." When pressed on whether society will still require people at all, Gates coldly replied: "Will we still need humans? Not for most things. We'll decide."
Well he comes from a father who was in charge or founder of Planned Parenthood...what do we expect...a sad case of a failed life...being unable or unwilling to distinguish right from wrong....but being willing to become god as he decides who lives and who dies
1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …އިތުރު
