Franciscan Father Francesco Patton wrote the meditations for tonight's Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome with Pope Leo XIV. Fr Patton served as Custos of the Holy Land from 2016 to 2025. On April 1, he told VaticanNews.va that the inspiration comes from "current reality" and that the meditations are meant to inspire political "change". The Vatican press office published the text today. Traditionally a penitential and contemplative devotion, the Via Crucis is repurposed here as a vehicle for contemporary socio-political reflection. The text shifts from the Passion of Christ to war, refugees, human trafficking, surveillance, deportation, the media, the economy, prisons, hostages, and crackdowns on protests. Notably absent, however, are abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology. One acclamation reads: "For migrants, the displaced, and refugees: Comfort us, O Mother." In the first station, the meditation talks about political and economic power "to start or end a war… the power …وڌيڪ
Remember that the objective of the Earth Charter—neomarxist and pantheistic—was to replace the Ten Commandments; that is, to replace the Gospel. Does "the inculturation of the Gospel," touted by Robert Prevost, sound familiar to you?
This morning Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel, called Pope Leo XIV, and they spoke on the telephone. They exchanged greetings for Passover and Easter. They discussed the current situation in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Catholics do not celebrate Passover. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Law regarding Passover. To exchange greetings about Passover is to deny Christ's establishment of the Holy Eucharist and His death on the cross! Shame on those people!
The final criminal case against the Catholic pro-life investigator David Daleiden has been dismissed. This ends a nearly decade-long legal battle stemming from his undercover investigation into the abortion industry. Daleiden released in 2015 a series of undercover videos showing that officials connected to Planned Parenthood Federation of America sold body parts and fetal tissue of aborted babies. In 2016, the office of then–California Attorney General Kamala Harris (2011-2017) prosecuted Daleiden and his colleague Sandra Merritt related to illegal recording (invasion of privacy). She did not prosecute Planned Parenthood. Over time, more than half of the charges were dismissed by a judge. Instead of going to trial on the remaining charges, David Daleiden agreed in 2025 to the deal “no contest” (nolo contendere) . It allows a defendant to resolve a criminal case without admitting guilt while accepting the court’s judgment. The agreement included no jail time, fines, or probation, …وڌيڪ
04/03/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The average person on this planet feels nauseated when confronted with the ramblings of the president of the Degenerate States. That’s why my readers won’t be forced to listen to this absurd Joe Biden-style drivel. For masochists, there’s always the option of tuning into this nonsense, but the health risks could be serious. You can, but no one has to listen to this load of nonsense while reading Thursday’s analysis—an article on ZeroHedge: Oil Spikes As Trump Vows To Hit Iran “Extremely Hard Over Next 2-3 Weeks”, Threatens To Send It “Back To The Stone Ages.” A new cartoon by Yemeni artist Kamal Sharaf about Trump’s endless lies! In contrast to Trump’s unrealistic and contradictory claims, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkiani’s logical and authentic speech on Wednesday is like a breath of fresh air to us: The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries.

The Jews conspire against Christ. He is anointed by Mary. The treason of Judas. The last supper. The prayer in the garden. The apprehension of our Lord. His treatment in the house of Caiphas. Douay-Rheims Bible, Matthew Chapter 26
Marxist idolater apostate Robert Prevost: "It is the way of the Incarnation, which always takes the form of inculturation. Salvation, in fact, can only be received by each person through his or her native language. “How is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?” ( Acts 2:8). "
On Holy Thursday, Cardinal Luis José Rueda Aparicio of Bogotá, Colombia, washed the feet of homosexual prostitutes (“transgender sex workers”). This act mirrors similar gestures made by Pope Francis.
Arzobispo Primado de Colombia, monseñor Luis José Rueda, lavó los pies a un grupo de personas de la comunidad trans y de mujeres trabajadoras sexuales en el barrio Santa Fe, zona de tolerancia de Bogotá
Merkel redet sich stets raus und sucht andere Schuldige. Sie ist aber Hauptakteurin. Den Vertrag von Minsk 2016, der den Donbass hätte befrieden sollen, hat sie gezielt untergraben lassen. Mit Einhaltung des Vertrages gäbe es heute keinen Ukrainekrieg.

02.04.2025 VATICAN COUNCIL II SUPPORTS FR. LEONARD FEENEY WAS RATZINGERS HIDDEN SECRET: LEFEBVRE DID NOT KNOW This is the discovery now. Vatican Council II interpreted rationally is aligned doctrinally with Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston on the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus with no known exceptions. The entire Vatican Council II drama would have been avoided, if Cardinal Ratzinger as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith announced that LG 8, 14, 16, NA 2, GS 22 etc are hypothetical cases only. So Vatican Council II has no explicit exceptions for Feeneyite EENS, the EENS of the Magisterium and missionaries of the 16th century. LG 8, 14, 16 refer to invisible cases was the secret. He kept it hidden. The Council is traditional and not liberal any more- this is the bottom line. Today we know. It is like the Council has done a somersault, a grand U-turn. With Vatican Council II aligned with Tradition (Syllabus, EENS, Athanasius Creed, etc), the Council is no more ‘a …وڌيڪ
I don’t believe the problems with VII and the” new theology” are simply reducible to an incorrect interpretation of EENS. I think you identify an important distinction with your analysis. But it doesn’t solve the underlying currents of thought that dominate and corrupt the hierarchy I.e. independence, immanentism, evolution. Pax.
In 1958 two KGB generals, Nikolai Mironov and Alexander Shelepin, pointed to the role of the Soviet secret police in carrying out Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP) of the 1920s. Mironov and Shelepin wanted the USSR to prepare for a new and enlarged NEP. This would be carried out by a reorganized and flexible KGB. For this brilliant suggestion they were awarded posts in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The strategy that evolved into Gorbachev’s perestroika began in the 1950s, but President Reagan and his team were clueless. Margaret Thatcher was clueless. The Soviet nuclear arsenal became the Russian Federation nuclear arsenal. The KGB lieutenant colonel in the Kremlin is threatening us with these nuclear weapons today. As for capitalism in Russia, the country’s billionaires are not like Western billionaires. They were recruited by the KGB and CPSU.
Passion Isaiah 52:13–53:12 In this account, we recognize the effects of evil on people. As soon as a person turns away from God's love, they move toward evil. Hebrews 4:14–16; 5:7–9 “Christ is the source of eternal salvation. We are free to enter eternal salvation immediately by allowing God to love us. John 18:1–19:42 Jesus came to tell us that God loves us. He desires that God's love flow from his heart to the hearts of humanity. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
