Private Audience with Leo XIV for €500,000

Spain is preparing for the June visit of Pope Leo XIV and the country’s bishops have introduced a controversial fundraising model: major donors can gain exclusive access to the pope.
The Spanish Bishops’ Conference has created a five-tier donation system.
At the top, “Great Benefactors” (€500,000-€1 million) are promised a private meeting with the pope, a Vatican working session, and VIP seating at events.
“Benefactors” (€250,000-€500,000) receive similar perks, though without a private audience.
Lower tiers offer recognition, titles, or public acknowledgment.
Organizers say the goal is to reduce the burden on taxpayers, as the trip is expected to cost €15 - €30 million.
Donations are also tax-deductible, and sponsors are offered global visibility, with millions expected to attend or watch.

Such corrupt shenanigans have been going on in the Church for centuries….officially. This is nothing new.

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. 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.

'What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me?' (Ps. 116.12). Reason and natural justice alike move me to give up myself wholly to loving Him to whom I owe all that I have and am. But faith shows me that I should love Him far more than I love myself, as I come to realize that He hath given me not my own life only, but even Himself."

“Chapter V ~ Of the Christian's debt of love, how great it is
From the contemplation of what has been said, we see plainly that God is to be loved
, and that He has a just claim upon our love. But the infidel does not acknowledge the Son of God, and so he can know neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit; for he that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father which sent Him, nor the Spirit whom He hath sent (John 5.23). He knows less of God than we; no wonder that he loves God less. This much he understands at least--that he owes all he is to his Creator. But how will it be with me? For I know that my God is not merely the bounteous Bestower of my life, the generous Provider for all my needs, the pitiful Consoler of all my sorrows, the wise Guide of my course: but that …Siwaju sii

New Ferula of Leo XIV Removes Nails and Passion of Christ

On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross.
He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection".
The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office.
And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed."

This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross.
On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?

Can one trust a state that has officially declared that international law does not apply to it? A country that withdraws from treaties, obligations, and guarantees at the first opportunity? Iranian President Pezeshkian has stated that he is willing to end the war in exchange for guarantees against further attacks.
For more details, see the article published on ZeroHedge on Tuesday evening: Iran Says ‘Prepared To End War’ If Security Guarantees Offered.
In my opinion, Iran’s drones, missiles, and strategic acumen are the best guarantee that it will not be attacked again. It would be good if the United States were to close all its bases in the Middle East. This can be compared to a court-ordered restraining order imposed on individuals who have behaved aggressively toward their family members. While this offers no guarantees, it at least makes malicious behavior more difficult and creates a legal basis for punishing …

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 13,1-15.
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?"
Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later."
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me."

Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 13,1-15.
Es war vor dem Paschafest. Jesus wusste, dass seine Stunde gekommen war, um aus dieser Welt zum Vater hinüberzugehen. Da er die Seinen liebte, die in der Welt waren, liebte er sie bis zur Vollendung.
Es fand ein Mahl statt und der Teufel hatte Judas, dem Sohn des Simon Iskariot, schon ins Herz gegeben, ihn auszuliefern.
Jesus, der wusste, dass ihm der Vater alles in die Hand gegeben hatte und dass er von Gott gekommen war und zu Gott zurückkehrte,
stand vom Mahl auf, legte sein Gewand ab und umgürtete sich mit einem Leinentuch.
Dann goss er Wasser in eine Schüssel und begann, den Jüngern die Füße zu waschen und mit dem Leinentuch abzutrocknen, mit dem er umgürtet war.
Als er zu Simon Petrus kam, sagte dieser zu ihm: Du, Herr, willst mir die Füße waschen?
Jesus sagte zu ihm: Was ich tue, verstehst du jetzt noch nicht; doch später wirst du es begreifen.
Petrus entgegnete ihm: Niemals sollst du mir die Füße waschen! Jesus …

"23. Father Crasset relates that a certain military officer told him, that after a battle he found a soldier on the battle-ground who held in his hand a Rosary and the scapular of Mary, and asked for a confessor. His forehead had been pierced by a musket-ball, which had passed through the head and came out behind, so that the brain was visible and protruded through each opening, and he could not live without a miracle. He however raised himself, made his confession to the chaplain with great compunction, and after receiving absolution, expired."

Pope Leo XIV: “I'm told that President Trump recently stated that he would like to end the war. Hopefully he's looking for an 'off-ramp'. Hopefully he's looking for a way to decrease the amount of violence, of bombing, which would be a significant contribution to removing the hatred that's being created and that's increasing constantly in the Middle East and elsewhere. I appeal to all leaders, come back to the table, to dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems, let's look for ways to reduce the amount of violence that we're promoting, that peace - especially at Easter - might reign in our hearts."

Leo XIV. fordert Trump auf, noch heute Abend einen Weg zu finden, den Krieg im Iran zu beenden. „Mir wurde berichtet, dass Präsident Trump kürzlich erklärt hat, er wolle den Krieg beenden. Hoffen wir, dass er nach einem Ausweg sucht, hoffen wir, dass er nach einem Weg sucht, die Gewalt und die Bombardierungen einzudämmen – was einen wesentlichen Beitrag dazu leisten würde, den Hass zu beseitigen, der sich im Nahen Osten und anderswo aufstaut und stetig wächst.“

How about kicking them out or banning them in the US as Russia has done. How about putting strict laws like Russia has on gays ? NO? Nor will you see anything of significance like that be done.

The Colorado Court is stacked with liberal judges. They have a habit of being overturned. Their ruling that Trump could not be on the 2024 ballot in Colorado was overturned 9-0 by SCOTUS. We would no longer be recognizable had Hillary and Kamala beat Trump. Their court picks would certainly have upheld the leftists.

Fifth Mystery of Light: The institution of the Eucharist.
In the Fifth Luminous Mystery, “By celebrating the Last Supper with His Apostles in the course of the Passover meal, Jesus gave the Jewish Passover its definitive meaning. Jesus' passing over to His Father by His Death and Resurrection, the new Passover, is anticipated in the Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist, which fulfils the Jewish Passover and anticipates the final Passover of the Church in the glory of the Kingdom".

Scott Ritter guest on Daniel Davis deep dive.

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.
