The FSSPX’s Christ the King pilgrimage opened in Lourdes on October 24, despite Bishop Jean-Marc Micas’ ban on celebrations inside the sanctuary’s basilicas. Pilgrims gathered under a large tent at Maison Saint-Ignace for four Masses. The day also included Stations of the Cross on the Espélugues hillside and individual prayers at the Grotto of Massabielle, as the faithful continued their pilgrimage despite the restrictions.

Despicable Doesn’t Begin to Cover It nytimes.com/…0/25/opinion/midterm-ads-ramaswamy-a… By David French Opinion Columnist I’ve never seen a viler ad. By now, you almost certainly know the story. Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, posted an ad featuring a malicious attack on Amy Acton, Ramaswamy’s Democratic opponent. The ad starred Acton’s own mother, a woman named Donna Arthur. The family story here is evil. Arthur married a man named Cledith Arthur, who became Acton’s stepfather. Cledith Arthur was indicted when Acton was 12 for raping her. He fled the jurisdiction rather than face charges. Donna lost custody of her children and — as Charles Hilu at National Review reported — she has her own criminal history. She was convicted of theft by deception in the 1990s and accused of animal neglect in 2021. It’s hard to imagine a more cruel and evil act than raping a child. There is no betrayal greater than the betrayal of a child by a parent. And then Ramaswamy …थप
"Uniting spiritually" with pagans and heretics? At today’s Angelus, Leo XIV remembered the interreligious Assisi scandal of 1986. He said: “The day after tomorrow, October 27, let us unite spiritually with the heads of Churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi on the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II.”
Papa leone all'Angelus invita a pregare per lo "Spirito di Assisi" • Sito: HOME - COMMUNITY OF SANT'EGIDIO All’Angelus in Piazza San Pietro, Leone XIV sottolinea che serve un cuore nuovo "capace di accogliere e di vivere il grande comandamento dell'amore"; un comandamento che non è un obbligo nè una imposizione ma l'esigenza propria del desiderio dell'uomo di essere in comunione con Dio
«THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» Card. Roger Etchegaray «THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» The spirit of Assisi: it was Pope John Paul II who coined the expression. Since October 27th 1986, this "spirit" has been felt a little everywhere, losing none of the power of its first flowering. I have no intention of playing the old gardener, but, having been a fascinated witness of its germination in the Pope's thought and the privileged artisan of its blooming, I feel I can affirm: on that day I heard the world's heart-beat. A brief meeting on a hill, a word or two, a gesture, sufficed for fragmented humanity to joyfully rediscover its original unity. When, at the end of a grey morning, a rainbow appeared in the sky over Assisi, those leaders of religions, called together by the audacious prophet of one of them, Pope John Paul II, saw in it a pressing call to brotherhood: no one could doubt that it was prayer which had won this visible sign of concord between God and the descendants of Noah. At San Rufino Cathedral …थप

Islam is a “magnificent faith” for Italian bishops. During the presentation of 11 teaching materials for Catholic religion classes in Italian schools, Rev. Valentino Cottini, former rector of the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), praised Islam. The presentation was attended by the presiding Italian Cardinal, Matteo Zuppi. Rev. Cottini said that the school materials provide "an objective and empathetic presentation of Islam that does not shy away from difficulties, but illustrates this magnificent faith and splendid culture". The materials were developed jointly by Christian and Muslim scholars with the backing of the Italian Bishops' Conference.
"Insomma, credo sia uscita una presentazione dell'Islam oggettiva ed empatica che non rifugge dalle difficoltà, ma illustra questa magnifica fede e questa splendida cultura nei suoi nuclei fondanti e anche in alcune delle sue più attuali forme espressive." Padre Valentino Cottini, già rettore del Pontificio Istituto di Studi Arabi e d’Islamistica (PISAI), durante la presentazione delle «Schede per conoscere l’Islam», Palazzo Borromeo, Roma, 21 ottobre 2026.

Israel brings Gaza-style demolition campaign to Hebron Israel’s sweeping punitive campaign in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron is gathering steam. Visiting the area, Benjamin Netanyahu promised to replicate the devastating operations previously carried out in the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams refugee camps, where Israeli forces displaced populations and transformed parts of camps into permanent military outposts. The Israeli PM has vowed to destroy the neighborhood the two Palestinian resistance fighters who killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint on October 23 came from. The shooting at the northern entrance to Hebron claimed the lives of two Israeli soldiers and wounded six others, with the perpetrators also killed. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for a West Bank campaign modeled on Israel’s operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

The Ottaviani Intervention: A Critical Study of the New Mass Written by Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani and Antonio Cardinal Bacci and a Group of Roman Theologians Editor's Note: The New Order of Mass was introduced on April 4, 1969. On June 5, 1969 Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani of the Holy Office, and Antonio Cardinal Bacci, along with a group of Roman theologians, presented Pope Paul VI with a Short Critical Study of the New Order of Mass. The Study contained a cover letter signed by Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci, which warned that the Novus Ordo, "represents both as a whole, and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session 22 of the Council of Trent". Among other points, the Study maintains that the faithful "never, absolutely never, asked that the liturgy be changed or mutilated to make it easier to understand." "On many points," the study says, "it has much to gladden the heart of even the most modernist Protestant." Furthermore …थप
Leo XIV-appointed, divorced Prefetessa for Media calls her appointment “bizarre”. Montserrat Alvarado, 39, is the first American, the first woman and the youngest prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, she told EWTN in an interview broadcast on October 23. She added, unprompted: “I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre.” Alvarado spoke about annulment almost as if it were a Church-sanctioned divorce: “I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do.” A bizarre remark from her: “I don't think that's why I was chosen.”
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."
"Think of a great solid iron ball, larger than the heavens and the earth. A bird comes once in a hundred millions of years and just touches the great iron ball with a feather of its wing. Think that you have to burn in a fire till the bird has worn the great iron ball away with its feather. Is this eternity? No."
‘The Sight of Hell’ by Rev. John Furniss, C.S.S.R.; 1882; Chapter XXXI; Pages 15-16; ‘Eternity’; XXXI. Eternity ~ Matt. xxv. These shall go into everlasting punishment. There is one thing which could change hell into heaven. An angel of God comes to the gates of hell and says: "Listen to me, all ye people in hell, for I bring you good news. You will still burn in hell for almost countless millions of years. But a day will come, and on that day the pains of hell will be no more! You will go out of hell." If such a message came, hell would no longer be hell. Hell would no longer be a house of blasphemy, but a house of prayer and thanksgiving and joy. But such a message will never come to hell, because God has said that the punishment of hell shall be everlasting! The Question You say what is meant by everlasting? It is both easy and difficult to answer this question. It is easy to say that the pains of hell will last for ever, and never have any and. It is difficult to answer the question …थप
No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn. Edward Pentin reports on X.com that organisers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were not offered an alternative date to celebrate Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. He added that the Vatican’s August 7 letter simply stated that the basilica was unavailable, without mentioning any conflicting events. In recent days, it has been argued that the Franciscan anniversary celebrations in St Peter's basilica had been planned for years. @Michael Haynes wrote that the specific event at the Altar of the Chair was announced only in September, after the pilgrimage’s request for Mass had been refused in August. As for the prohibited procession, customary security restrictions have been cited as an excuse. Yet Haynes reports that permission to process into the Vatican had already been granted in April, only to be withdrawn the day before the pilgrimage. #newsUhvemzsmjm

Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop Who Offered to Pachamama Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese.
