Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, published on April 8, 2016, was a “breakthrough” for the Church. This was stated by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 81, of Vienna, who had presented the document at the Vatican ten years ago, in an interview with Kathpress.at on March 30. In a footnote, Francis "allowed" adulterers to grab Holy Communion using the case-by-case trick. Cardinal Schönborn commented: "That Pope Francis addressed the question of whether divorced and remarried persons may receive Communion only in a small footnote deeply moved me personally." “When I take the document from my bookshelf or even just think about it, it still brings me to tears,” he added. For many people in the Church - and for him personally - the document represented a “huge sigh of relief.” The reason, he explained, is that Francis speaks “about real life.” Families in “difficult” situations should not be constrained or judged according to "rigid criteria". Instead, one …Kara
BLINDSIDE ALERT (Shortages Begin for Seafood, Meat and Packaged Food) Global disruptions in energy, fuel and supply chains are quietly building and when they land, it won’t be gradual, it will hit your life all at once.

@Renvoie les riches les mains vides Thank you again for taking on the Russian influencers on Gloria TV! I am glad there are others willing to fight for the truth of Our Lady of Fatima's message! As for @Instaurare Omnia in Christo's idea that "The Russian government tried to kick them out. But the freemasons used Russia's own laws to prevent it." It is naive to think the laws that promote evil in Russia are accidental. Russia is in fact corrupt to the core and merely deceiving the gullible Catholics. And here on Gloria TV all these Russian influencers can post are RT TV articles. Or they post something a Pope said about Russia as if that's a magisterial teaching! Or they quote a "prophecy" that isn't aplicable in this circumstance. They are bombarding this platform with disinformation. And when you quote a Papal Encyclical they just assume it doesn't have anything to do with the modern age. They are completely modernist on the subject of the "Errors of Russia." God bless you!
Mikhail is describing blind obedience. I suppose if you have not the gift of faith you might mistake it as blind obedience. It is not blind at all. Faith allows you to recognise truth.
What is Gaianism? - Gaian Way The Augustines in their infinite wisdom have come to the conclusion that everyone needs to think of this dynamic pregnant mother as the pregnant Mother Mary taking care of the Earth. Both Francis and Leo think this way, along with other pagans, witches and Indigenous people. In accordance to Papal Obedience, it's time to order one of these things, either Traditional or Modern and place her pregnant self upon your Altar. The actions of the Pope are to be followed.
It's all about the intention, this image will not get you promoted because it portraits Mother Mary with Jesus, the Messiah. The Ones Leo has wants you to forget about Messiah Savior of the World, and think about Mother Nature keeper of the world. Effectively - Pope Leo wants you to replace the Messiah in your life.
On March 30, Pope Leo XIV appointed a new group of members to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, including bishops, clergy, religious figures, and lay academics. All of them are closely aligned with the priorities of the Francis era, such as mass immigration, "synodality", social justice, inculturation, and ecology. Archbishop Rogelio Cabrera López of Monterrey, Mexico Monsignor Cabrera publicly aligned himself with the pro-homosexual document Fiducia Supplicans. According to AciDigital.com (23 January 2024), he urged Catholics to read the document in a spirit of mercy and called for “affective and effective communion” with Pope Francis and his pastoral proposals . In his capacity as president of the Mexican bishops’ conference, he was also involved in submitting the "Mayan rite" to the Vatican for approval. Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera of Cusco, Peru Monsignor Estrada is the General Secretary of CELAM, the Latin American Bishops’ Council. In July …Kara
He tore up Jackie Kennedy's garden and thought nothing about destroying it. Changed the name of the Kennedy center. He seems to hate the Kennedy's. His hatred for them? Or someone else's. We may never know.
Yes Trump brought the ballroom reconstruction up when he was asked of how he felt about Charlie Kirk's assassination. I think there was a liberal comedian who was canceled when he made fun of Trump's response.
On 30 March, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Paolo Rudelli as Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, making him the Vatican’s third most senior official. Born in Gazzaniga, Italy in 1970, Monsignor Rudelli was ordained to the priesthood in 1995. He studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University and joined the Vatican diplomatic service in 2001. After serving in nunciatures in Ecuador and Poland, he worked in the Secretariat of State before being appointed Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe from 2014 to 2019. In 2019, Pope Francis personally consecrated him as a bishop and appointed him as Apostolic Nuncio. He served as Nuncio to Zimbabwe (2020–2023) and to Colombia (2023–2026). As a senior Vatican diplomat, Monsignor Rudelli is accustomed to maintaining message discipline and avoiding polarising issues. "Follow Francis' Synodal Path!" Across Zimbabwe and Colombia, Nuncio Rudelli presents a vision of the Church in the Francis era. In a 2023 address to …Kara
"When Pope Francis proposes fraternity as the foundation of social friendship and the pursuit of the common good, we could say that he proposes fraternity as the foundation of a universal ethic," Archbishop Rudelli said.
During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …Kara
Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.” “Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”
Nach heftiger Kritik Kardinal erhält doch Zugang zu Grabeskirche Eine Zugangssperre für Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa zur Grabeskirche in der Jerusalemer Altstadt hat am Sonntag für Aufsehen gesorgt. Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land wollte dort die Palmsonntag-Messe feiern, wurde jedoch von der israelischen Polizei angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert. Dieser Vorfall sorgte für heftige Kritik. Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu ruderte nun zurück und ordnete an, dass Pizzaballa „sofortigen“ Zugang zur Kirche erhalten solle. Online seit heute, 7.21 Uhr Netanjahu führte Sicherheitsbedenken als Grund für die ursprüngliche Maßnahme an: „In den vergangenen Tagen hat der Iran wiederholt die heiligen Stätten aller drei monotheistischen Religionen in Jerusalem mit Marschflugkörpern ins Visier genommen. Bei einem Angriff schlugen Raketensplitter wenige Meter von der Grabeskirche entfernt ein.“ Zum Schutz der Gläubigen habe Israel Menschen aller …Kara
Jerusalem: Kardinal an Zutritt zu Grabeskirche gehindert Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land, Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, ist von der israelischen Polizei am Zugang zur Grabeskirche in der Altstadt von Jerusalem gehindert worden. Der Italiener Pizzaballa habe in der Kirche die traditionelle Messe zum Palmsonntag feiern wollen, sei aber von israelischen Polizisten angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert worden, teilte das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem heute mit. Reuters/Ammar Awad Mit ihm sei zudem der Kustos im Heiligen Land, Francesco Ielpo, gewesen. Der Franziskaner ist der oberste Wächter der Heiligen Stätten, einschließlich der Grabeskirche. Das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem bezeichnete den Vorfall als „schwerwiegenden Präzedenzfall“.
On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
You can be sure that an LGBTQ+ procession would be received with open arms, just as it was at Saint Peters. But FSSPX.....horrors! The diabolic hatred for Catholic Tradition is manifest in this.
"Now, to have our "loins girt," signifies two things: First, the virtue of chastity; Secondly, a readiness to meet our Lord coming to judgment, whether it be the particular or the general judgment. The holy fathers, St. Basil, St. Augustine, and St. Gregory, give the first explanation. And truly, the concupiscence of the flesh, beyond all other passions, doth greatly hinder us from being ready to meet Christ; whilst, on the other hand, nothing makes us more fit to follow our Lord, than virginal chastity. We read in the Apocalypse how virgins follow the Lamb “whithersoever he goeth.”

THE FOURTH PRECEPT, CONTAINING THREE EVANGELICAL COUNSELS. ALTHOUGH what we have said on faith, hope, and charity, may seem sufficient to enable us to live well and die well; yet, in order to effect these two objects more perfectly and more easily, our Lord Himself has deigned to give us three counsels in the Holy Scriptures: thus He speaks in St. Luke: "Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching." (chap. xii. 35, 36.) This parable may be understood in two ways: of preparation for the coming of our Lord at the last …Kara
Conservative Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, published a “counter-view” to the teaching that Judas has earned his place in hell on FoxNews.com on Palm Sunday. Monsignor Barron's main arguments for having hope for Judas' salvation - Judas shows repentance: "Judas, the betrayer, deeply regretted what he had done: 'I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.'" "This is not callous indifference or self-justification. This is a clear and honest admission of guilt." - The Church has never declared that Judas is in hell: "St. Pope John Paul II insisted that the Church has never made a definitive statement regarding whether any particular person is in hell." "Pope Benedict said that we should suspend judgement regarding Judas and commit him to the mercy and justice of God." - Suicide does not guarantee damnation: "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives.' 'By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary …Kara
HEY BISHOP BARRON, Don't worry about a thing. Just think - in a few days, after having spent all this time during lent thinking about Judas, you too will have perfection as a Traitor! The 40 days in the dessert - the devil tried to unsuccessfully bring down Christ in Temptations. He was most successful with Judas during this same period. By contemplating and becoming one with Judas, you will certainly miss out on the Resurrection - just like Judas. There will be NO redemption for you - you DUMB ASS. Time to think about Yahweh, his Justice and infinite Mercy to those how repent, to make you a better Saint.

Speaking to journalists in Castel Gandolfo this evening, Pope Leo XIV called on world leaders to “come back to the table” and solve their problems through dialogue (video below). "I'm told that President Trump recently said he wanted to end the war. Hopefully, he is looking for a way out. I hope he's looking for a way to reduce the violence and bombing, which would significantly help to reduce the constant increase in hatred in the Middle East and elsewhere." Leo XIV added, "Come back to the table and engage in dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems and ways to reduce violence, so that peace — especially at Easter — might reign in our hearts." The Pope was also asked about his decision to personally carry the cross during the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum on Friday. "I think it will be an important sign because of what the Pope represents: a spiritual leader in today's world and a voice saying that Christ still suffers." When asked what he expects from his …Kara
On 24 March, a court in Privas, France, delivered its verdict in the case of Father Bernard Domini and the Catholic community Famille Missionnaire de Notre Dame (FMND). The case raises wider questions about religious freedom and new legal standards in France. Following a two-year investigation, the case centred on allegations of "abuse of vulnerability" and 2psychological subjection" brought by five former members of the community. The community has approximately 160 members. The charges did not involve allegations of sexual abuse, physical violence or financial misconduct, but instead focused on the community's internal practices and discipline. In its ruling, the court issued ten decisions, resulting in seven acquittals and three convictions. Father Bernard was convicted on one count and acquitted on four others, while the FMND was convicted on two counts. The punishments handed down were relatively lenient: a six-month suspended sentence for Father Bernard and a €25,000 fine for the …Kara
