In France, Leo XIV told different audiences what they want to hear: reassuring conservatives while also offering a positive interpretation of the French Revolution's ideals. Polish priest and philosopher Andrzej Kobyliński observed talking to Jan Pospieszalski on October 6 about Leo XIV's France trip: “The various statements during this pilgrimage were addressed to different groups in France. In a sense, everyone got what they wanted. There were statements affirming the value of tradition, but there were also very positive words about the interpretation of the slogan ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.’" And: "There was not a single critical remark - which also surprised me greatly - about the heart of the dispute. That is, concerning the Enlightenment project and the legacy of the French Revolution. That was completely missing."

Detroit Archbishop Edward Weisenburger declared that “sins against creation are among the very serious sins” at a September 30 synodal listening session. He criticized the Trump administration's removal of electric vehicle tax incentives and urged Catholics to “cooperate with creation,” invoking Pope Leo XIV. The meeting's findings will be forwarded through the Catholic Climate Covenant to the Vatican. Monsignor Weisenburger, who severely restricted the Traditional Latin Mass in Detroit in 2025, now champions environmental initiatives inspired by Laudato Si’.

Well, they can blame everything on Russia all they want. There is yet to be proof on anything they say. And Everything has been debunked. Every last time for everything. And every warning Russia has given us was true. And still they called it all Russia propaganda.
Inclusion of adulterers and “persons identifying as LGBTQ” called for at the current Vatican meeting on Amoris Laetitia. American Catholic moral theologian Prof. Julie Hanlon Rubio addressed the Vatican’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia on October 12. Rubio recounted the case of an elderly woman with dementia who refused Communion because her husband had previously been married. The woman, she said, remembered that “she was not worthy to receive the Body of Christ.” Rubio presented the story as evidence that feelings of exclusion persist. She also quoted Francis’s assertion that “the fact that … love [!] is imperfect doesn’t mean it’s false or unreal,” adding that human fragility is “not a problem to be solved but a fundamental element of our humanity to be integrated.” Rubio again cited Francis: “No one can be condemned forever! It is not the logic of the Gospel!” She said “this principle” should apply to “everyone.” In a footnote, she specified whom she believed …আরও
They could not find ONE repentant adulterer/ess? I'll tell you this, they weren't even looking. I know many who's stories will drop your jaw at the goodness of our Lord and His glory speaking to them and saving their families, when all seemed lost, and so much damage done. A reconciled family is a JOY to behold!! It is a blasphemy that God's Glory and Grace are repeatedly denied testimiony in His Own Church.
The appeal against the decree of excommunication of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) is ongoing – no further details disclosed. On October 13, the FSSPX published a communiqué stating that the appeal against the July excommunication has been pursued, in accordance with the procedures established by the canon law of 1983. “Through these actions, the bishops of the Society intend to exercise the right recognized by the Church, requesting an examination of the legal and doctrinal objections they have raised against the documents of July 2.” Pending a response from the “competent authorities” regarding these proceedings, the FSSPX will maintain the discretion required by the nature of these procedures. #newsEabeiftheh
1. The extent of surgery is unknown. Dr. Elmer Huerta explains that surgeons may remove a small wedge of lung tissue, a larger segment, or an entire lobe, depending on the nodule. This could significantly affect recovery. 2. Minimally invasive surgery is possible. Huerta says lung nodules are often removed using minimally invasive or robotic techniques. However, the Vatican has not confirmed which procedure Leo XIV will undergo. 3. The November trip may still be possible. Huerta suggests the Pope could potentially fly within two or three weeks after a relatively minor wedge resection. More extensive surgery could require a longer recovery. This is particularly relevant to his planned November 6–17 visit to South America. 4. Imaging characteristics influence the decision to operate. Dr. Bruno Vincenzi explains that irregular or spiculated nodule margins can raise suspicion of malignancy, whereas well-defined margins or calcifications more often suggest a benign condition. 5. A tissue …আরও
A homosexual “creation service” featuring drag performances was held in three Austrian cities with support from Catholic dioceses. Titled “Abracadabra – and it was good!”, the project combined the seven days of creation in Genesis with percussion, dance, light art and interactive performances. Events took place in Graz (Sept. 12, 30 attendees), Vienna (Sept. 25, 150) and Linz (Oct. 2, 110). The ecumenical project involved Catholic, Protestant, Methodist and Old Catholic groups, with support from the dioceses of Linz, Vienna and Graz-Seckau.
Leo XIV will not celebrate the closing Mass of the meeting marking the 10th anniversary of Amoris laetitia. Pope Leo XIV will not preside over Wednesday’s closing Mass marking the 10th anniversary of Amoris laetitia, scheduled for October 14 in St. Peter’s Square. He will also miss Tuesday’s inaugural Pope Leo XIV Sustainability Medal ceremony at Borgo Laudato Si’ in the Pontifical Gardens of Castel Gandolfo, where Cardinal Michael Czerny will receive the award. Leo XIV is preparing for surgery to remove a lung nodule, the Vatican announced Monday. He is expected to enter Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Tuesday. He is expected to remain hospitalized for approximately one week. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the nodule was detected during a routine examination, not following symptoms of an acute illness. Its nature, whether benign or malignant, remains undisclosed. Medical guidelines generally recommend monitoring rather than surgically removing incidental solid lung nodules smaller than …আরও
The actor playing the Pope wants to evoke sympathy, while since May 2025 he hasn't shown any sympathy for his followers, whom he encourages in sin and leads to ruin.
True Gospel Fruit In the late 1800's, true Gospel preaching yielded fruit in the village of Lu Italy of about 1,800 to 2,000 residents, 323 vocations, comprising 152 priests and 171 nuns across 41 congregations. Multiple vocations often came from a single family, such as the Rinaldi family with seven vocations, including Blessed Filippo Rinaldi. The Great Vocational Inversion: How Modernity Turned the Gospel into a Safety Net Modernity 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 …আরও
