Looks like an outing from the Senior Center. Let's play EM for the day. I bet there are only a handful of people in the pews. These are the same people who wear masks while driving.
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago presented the Christifideles Laici Award to Kathie Nash at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago on October 4. Nash is a homosex-activist and leader of the group 'One in Love', promoting “radical hospitality” and "blessings" for homosex couples. Cupich, 77, is already more than two years beyond the customary retirement age of 75 for bishops. He nevertheless remains Archbishop of Chicago under Pope Leo XIV, with whom he has longstanding ties. #newsQhqoihloss
Why Pope Leo XIV Wants Every Catholic to Vote Pope Leo XIV is urging Catholics to vote, calling political indifference a cancer of democracy. The publication Letters from Leo has released a voter guide and is asking Catholics to pledge participation in the upcoming election. The effort draws on Catholic social teaching and the example of Father Theodore Hesburgh, who historically linked faith with civic engagement. The core message: faithful Catholics cannot remain passive spectators in democratic processes. The Daily Pope
Historic first: Leo XIV requests ballot for U.S. midterm elections. Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot for the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, becoming the first pontiff to vote in an American election. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, election officials in Will County, Illinois, confirmed that the American-born pope requested his ballot on October 3. Born Robert Prevost in Chicago, Leo XIV retains his American citizenship and voting rights despite becoming the sovereign of Vatican City. As of October 29, officials had not received his completed ballot, meaning it remains unclear whether he will actually cast a vote. Recent popes have maintained the Holy See's diplomatic neutrality. #newsPcejtcrzug
Here is Pope Leo XIV’s recent voting history. He’s voted in both Democratic and Republican primaries. He hasn’t voted in a primary since Trump was first elected.
“Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.”
Cardinal Burke denies the pre-conclave dinners. Cardinal Raymond Burke had denied hosting the dinners at his Roman apartment that allegedly helped secure Leo XIV’s election, writes Phil Lawler on CatholicCulture.org on October 29. The sensational story of the dinner parties at Cardinal Burke’s Rome apartment was published by the homosexual journalist Francesco Capozza on IlTempo.it in August. It is circulating again because RorateCaeli.blogspot.com translated the article on October 25. Capozza does not identify a single source, relying instead on anonymous accounts attributed to participants and an unnamed cardinal. The article suggests that two dinners at Cardinal Burke’s apartment helped secure 20–25 votes for Cardinal Prevost. Lawler does not cite a source for the denial either. Multiple sources had said that Cardinal Raymond Burke denied hosting the meetings, “Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.” …Күберәк
Did Cardinal Parolin act on orders from above? Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatino.it believes the Vatican Secretariat of State was following orders when it refused the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage permission to enter St. Peter’s Basilica in procession. He finds it hard to believe the decision was made without agreement at the highest levels. When interviewer Giovanni Zenone suggested Pope Leo XIV was involved, Casalini replied: “I don't know that.” Casalini also raised the possibility that mainstream Vatican journalists had received telephone calls telling them to keep the controversy quiet, noting their relative silence despite widespread coverage in the English-speaking world.
Luigi Casalini: No, guarda, io non voglio difendere Parolin, ma secondo me, e arriviamo al terzo livello, secondo me la Segreteria di Stato sono stati molto maleducati, ma secondo me hanno fatto quello che gli è stato ordinato. Terzo, io mi rifiuterei di crederlo, ma come analista in questo momento e non come tifoso, cioè non come partecipante e, tra virgolette, organizzatore del pellegrinaggio, sarei... sono abbastanza incredulo che non ci fosse una concordanza nella decisione da parte delle più alte cariche, cioè... Giovanni Zenone (@Fede & Cultura): Cioè del Papa, dai, diciamolo chiaro, da parte del Papa. Luigi Casalini: No, io non lo so questo, però una decisione che poi è data... cioè soprattutto il mondo anglosassone... perché quello che anche lì è strano, è bizzarro, che stranamente in Italia questa cosa è stata tirata fuori dal Messaggero, dalla Bussola, da Messa in Latino, ovviamente, e anche da altri siti. Però stranamente, adesso non voglio essere malizioso, che i vaticanisti …Күберәк
Here we go again. Every year, as October 31 approaches, the world turns Halloween into a celebration of monsters, demons, witches, ghosts, and everything associated with darkness. And somehow, even Catholics have forgotten what Halloween actually means. Let me remind you: HALLOWEEN IS CATHOLIC. It is not originally a celebration of evil. It is All Hallows’ Eve, the vigil before the Solemnity of All Saints. It is the evening before we celebrate the saints in Heaven, the men and women who fought for Christ, suffered for the Faith, and attained eternal glory. Do Catholics even understand the word Halloween? Hallow means holy. That’s why we pray in the Our Father, “Hallowed be Thy Name.” It means holy is Thy Name. Halloween comes from All Hallows’ Eve. There is nothing inherently demonic about the name or its Catholic observance. The Church has a long tradition of celebrating vigils before great solemnities, and All Hallows’ Eve belongs to that tradition. But look at what we have allowed to …Күберәк
“There is no place for rainbow flags in the Church!” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller denounces LGBT+ and woke ideology as fundamentally atheistic. Speaking with Jan Bentz in an interview published on October 21, Cardinal Müller rejects ideological symbols in churches, referencing Nazi swastikas and Soviet red banners: “Our flag is the Cross of Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the world,” the cardinal declares.

Vice President J.D. Vance on whether Church teaching on migration/immigration is vague: "You can welcome the stranger, but you also have to ask them difficult questions about who the stranger is...I think the Church should be and could be a lot more specific..."
Bishop Marian Eleganti: “The Vatican Cuts a Poor Figure”. Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti condemns the exclusion of Catholics from St. Peter’s Basilica on October 24: “This year’s ban on access to St. Peter’s Basilica for the tradition-minded pilgrims of ‘Ad Petri Sedem’ borders on hostility toward Catholics who are loyal to the Pope and orthodox in their faith. It has nothing to do with concern for unity in the Church or with operational difficulties in organizing liturgical celebrations in St. Peter’s Basilica.” “Synodal hypocrisy (inclusivity) has thereby revealed itself for what it is.” Bishop Eleganti notes that the “Ad Petri Sedem” pilgrims are not the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): “We have known it for a long time: Certain people are inclusive only as long as it serves their own goals. They ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly exclude different ways of thinking and different approaches to pastoral care and spirituality. This has been my consistent experience.” “So-…Күберәк
I'm sorry but I don't' want to hear the whining from Dr. Kwasniewski, Matt and the other " wait before we judge Leo" appeasers. Start acting like men! Defend and support the SSPX, denounce the infiltrators or keep straddling the fence.
"It was a very unscientific and harmful report." HJA Ruissen condemns the Forbidden Colours "Hate Review" — a report riddled with lies and inaccuracies about hundreds of Christian organisations. He rightly asks: Why is the EU funding groups who vilify certain viewpoints simply because they are Christian? @Jugend für das Leben
A new video has emerged from the devastating earthquake in La Guaira, Venezuela. The footage shows the collapse of several residential buildings, with people desperately trying to find a safe place.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth. Women is the Church . River of sin and rebellion . Earthquakes sign rebellion coming to end get on the Ark of salvation .You never know the time of your judgement
So many earthquakes and disasters. One after the other. We are getting closer everyday. It is growing more and more. Yet still in the beginning. So much more is yet to happen. Will there be a time when everything will hit us all at once? War, famine, disease etc.
'Fun Church' Update: Novus Ordo Altar Server Practice in Brazil? Novus Ordo Watch 28. Aug.2026 This video clip speaks for itself. A 'Catholic priest' is leading his altar boys and altar girls in jumping and bobbing like chickens to the tune of the Chickies' "Chicken Dance". The priest is Fr. Francisco de Assis Freires, and the location is the Capela São José (Chapel of St. Joseph) in Brasilia, part of the Archdiocese of Brasilia, Brazil. Video clip source: Instagram account of Padre Francisco de Assis - instagram.com/p/DaIcFCgRMnV/
This clip is scandalous: not only is the priest setting a horrible example, the majority of altar servers are girls who cannot be ordained, in a time of drastic shortage of priests
Müller: SSPX episcopal consecrations cross a doctrinal “red line” He says unauthorized episcopal consecrations by the Society of St. Pius X cross a red line not merely in Church discipline but also in doctrine. He characterizes consecrating bishops against the pope as schismatic and insists that the SSPX must recognize the authority of the real, reigning pope, Leo XIV. Interviewer: Jan C. Bentz, 21.

Als "Zeichen der Einheit"darf der Papst von jenen kritisiert werden, die ihn zu mehr Einheit mit dem Evangelium und den Katholiken bewegen wollen. Die Bischofsweihen wollen ein heilsames Stopp-Signal für den Zerfall des Glaubens sein. Die "rote Linie" wird von Leo XIV. nicht wirklich geglaubt, er lässt sich Bischöfe von der KP Chinas vorschreiben.
