Angelus: Pope Leo Reads, Andrea Monda Gets the … Among the greetings drafted by the Prefecture of the Papal Household for the Pope was one addressed to the homeless people present in St Peter’s Square to distribute L’Osservatore di strada, a supplement to L’Osservatore Romano. Naturally, the request came from Andrea Monda himself. A man who does not usually go to the office even on the days when he is expected to be there was hardly likely to spend a Sunday in St Peter’s Square beneath the scorching Roman sun of recent days. But having secured confirmation from the Prefecture that the short passage had been inserted into the text prepared for the Pope, Monda could not miss the occasion. He had to be there, he had to be seen, he had to make his presence visible at the very moment Leo XIV spoke about the costly paper. And so there he was in St Peter’s Square, beside a banner that had cost hundreds of euros, waving his arms about in his embarrassing braces to greet the Pope, who, puzzled …More
In what he calls his last video from this small office, Fr. Mark Goring, CC reflects on his priestly calling and the duty to preach the Gospel. He shares the simple technical method he has used for years and marvels at how it became a powerful worldwide tool of evangelization. Quoting 1 Corinthians 9:16 “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” It is a moving farewell from this setting. youtube.com/watch?is=FF3_C2uOZ5mZDZ3U&v=6D-OOokbn…
Companies have been dialing back their LGBTQ+ Pride messaging since President Donald Trump took office last year, and analysts say that contributes to a less divisive marketplace. “This is both a market correction and a cultural correction,” Allen Mendenhall, a senior adviser for The Heritage Foundation’s Free Enterprise Initiative, told the Daily Signal. “After years of performative corporate activism, companies are rediscovering that their customers—particularly families—do not want firms serving as vehicles for ideological agendas.” “Businesses are increasingly rejecting pressure from activist investors and corporate bureaucracies in favor of listening to consumers and respecting longstanding moral and religious convictions,” he added. “Top-down cultural engineering is losing its grip.” Many companies have adopted Pride messaging as a result of the environmental, social, and governance investing movement. Investors used ESG standards to direct their dollars, and they often …
29. June 2026 29. June 2026 06/29/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. All around, people looking half-dead, Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head. This is a quote of the well-known 1966 song Summer in the City, performed by The Lovin’ Spoonful. Yesterday—on the hottest day of the year in Poland—my sister, who lives in Turin in northern Italy, sent me the following photo. In this regard, Italy can’t impress us: Poland, a distant country in the non-tropical part of Europe, is experiencing comparable temperatures. 41.1°C is approximately 105.98°F. At this point, the fanatics of global warming will exclaim: “This is, after all, the best proof of global warming—a phenomenon invented by global forces!” According to this logic—which reveals a lack of sound reasoning—an ice age has arrived in Saudi Arabia. These are mere speculations with no basis in the real world. An exceptionally accurate horoscope appeared in the German-language media: Today’s horoscope is the same for …
Soccer in Front of the Altar. Worse than Germany: On June 21, the parish priest of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Reina del Clero in Mexico City invited fathers to celebrate Father’s Day by playing soccer inside the church’s nave around the 12:00 Eucharist. Wearing liturgical vestments, the priest also took part in the game. A goal was placed directly in front of the altar, and the fathers took turns shooting while parishioners applauded.

White House Secretly Swayed Board Meant to Stop Civil Service Politicization Behind the scenes, the Trump White House went to extensive lengths to advance its theory of executive power, potentially giving the president remarkable leeway to install loyalists at nearly every echelon of government. nytimes.com/…irings-workers-merit-systems-protect… By Jonah E. BromwichMichael S. Schmidt and Rebecca Davis O’Brien June 28, 2026 In the tiny corner of the legal world that follows such things, the March ruling crashed down like a thunderbolt. It was issued by an obscure government agency called the Merit Systems Protection Board, whose purpose is to protect federal workers from unfair firings. But the decision backed President Trump’s assertion that he has broad authority to reshape the executive branch as he wants. The ruling broke with decades of precedent, accepting the White House’s argument that Article II of the Constitution gives Mr. Trump the power to dismiss officials without due …More
Catholic observers note particular relevance for Church-affiliated NGOs long scrutinized for heavy taxpayer-funded migrant work that has sometimes blurred into advocacy undermining border security and the common good. A welcome step toward restoring rule of law and authentic charity.
Respectfully, I suggest not promoting this type of saying. It minimizes the unfathomable, abject horrors of Hell, thereby diminishing or removing motivation for seeking to avoid it.
Archbishop Ronald Hicks of New York receives the pallium - a vestment which is a symbol of authority - from Pope Leo XIV in St Peter's Basilica. 34 other recently appointed archbishops also received the pallium today (Feast of Sts Peter & Paul).
Hicks und Prevost verehren den "Männerküsser" Bad Bunny (kein Zufall): Hicks rief zu einer Kirche auf, die "sich um die Schöpfung kümmert, Brücken baut, zuhört und Kinder beschützt, die Heilung für Überlebende fördert und all jene unterstützt, die von der Kirche verwundet wurden". Er sagte, seine Kirche zeige "Respekt für alle", aber nicht für die katholische Tradition. New Yorker Erzbischof zitiert homosexuellen … - Leo XIV. traf den Homosexuellen-Aktivisten Bad …
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10,37-42. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple--amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward." angelyelina
The implementation phase of the synod “will mark a new stage in the reception of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Mario Grech warned the consistory on Saturday. He is a Cardinal and the Vatican's Secretary of the Synod. His lengthy speech, which was around 3,000 words long, was published on Zenit.org. Much of it was repetitive, focusing on buzzwords such as listening, discernment, communion, participation, the 'exchange of gifts', implementation, and 'conversation in the Spirit'. In terms of density of ideas, the speech was low. The essential message was • the Synod is not over. • implementation is the real work. • synodality should become part of the Church's ordinary life. • this is the next stage of Vatican II. Two key sentences were: "The discernment of the signs of the times, ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, and the commitment to justice and peace become measures of the Church's diakonia." "In this way, the implementation phase becomes a new stage in the reception …More
At an outdoor "Pride Mass" this week In New York, Fr Chris Lawton apologized to the attendees, claiming the Church doesn't "recognize the presence of God" in them, and is carrying out acts of injustice against "transgenders".
On June 25, skinny Paulist Father Chris Lawton celebrated an annual homosex Eucharist at the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park, New York City. Around 150 people attended, reports NcrOnline.org. The Eucharist was organized by the notorious homosexual parish St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. It took place at the start of 'New York Pride weekend'. The location was disfigured with dozens of rainbow flags. Fr Lawton apologized to homosexuals for times when the Church had failed to recognize God's presence in them. He believes that „transgender Catholics” continue to face unique injustice within the Church. He added that there is a movement toward inclusion of homosexuals underway in the Church: "The train has left the station. And we are going somewhere." Since February 6, the Archdiocese of New York has been led by Monsignor Ronald Hicks - another of Leo XIV's bad appointments. #newsBcfrbukhdr
Russia needs to back away from trump. Once and for all. The rat rubio made it well known that they are on the side of nazi's. And always has been when he said, we are not intermediators! So all those talks were nothing more than deceptions to trick Putin into thinking there will finally be peace! It has always been President Putin to seek out peace. Once the first treaty was signed, the US and other countries told zelensky to tear them up once again! Signing papers with Russia and tearing them up. Why sign them in the first place? Why pretend? To give hope to Russia there will be peace? These people are sick and sadistic. There will be no peace anywhere. Not in Iran nor Russia, nor any where else. Get over it Putin, you are alone against dozens of countries who seek the destruction of the human race. Russia is at the top of it's list. They can build all the armies they want, Russia will win in the end. In more than one way. That's a guarantee from Heaven!
