"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.

Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized on Sunday for praying over President Trump in the Oval Office last week, and he accused the White House of posting video of the prayer without the bishops’ consent.
No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn.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-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 …Zambiri
A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc

STOP BEING AFRAID OF LOSING PEOPLE. And start understanding that you, too, are a great loss. You were not born to beg for a place in someone’s life, nor to chase someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate your presence. Sometimes, we cling so tightly to certain people that we forget to ask ourselves: “What am I losing of myself by trying so hard not to lose you!” You lose your peace of mind. You lose your dignity. You lose your time. You lose the opportunity to meet people who truly know how to stay. Don’t be afraid to close a door when all you find behind it is indifference. Don’t be afraid to walk away when staying means continuing to break yourself. Because you, too, have something to offer. You have a heart that knows how to love genuinely, a loyalty that isn’t easy to find, and a way of caring that someone, someday, might understand far too late. You don’t need to prove your worth to anyone. Someone who truly appreciates you doesn’t need to lose you to realize how important you are. …Zambiri
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.

I once brought a picture of him to my Priest to Bless. He turned his head and chuckled. But he did Bless it. Who can't see he was called by GOD and inspired by The Holy Ghost to actually do something about saving The Church, Faith and Holy Mass and the Priesthood. He was brave and determined and didn't back down. Persecuted and they lied about him. But he saw it through and didn't back down one bit.
Vatican: A Seat of Honour for Charles III, Excommunication for the Father of an Abused Child One year ago today, on 23 October 2025, King Charles III of the United Kingdom, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, received the honorary title of Royal Confrater at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, with the approval of Pope Leo XIV. A distinguished seat had been reserved for him, adorned with his coat of arms and the words of Christ: Ut unum sint — “That they may all be one.” The Holy See presented the appointment as a sign of fraternity between Catholics and Anglicans. Paradoxically, just one year later, Rome has upheld the excommunication of Scott Peyton, a permanent deacon of the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana. His canonical offence was joining an Anglican congregation after the Catholic priest Michael Guidry sexually abused his son Oliver. The juxtaposition is difficult to reconcile. While an Anglican monarch is welcomed as a brother in a papal basilica, a father …Zambiri
The Pope of Applause. Today, Leo XIV received a seemingly endless ovation from charismatic Catholics of the Jesus Youth movement, founded in Kerala, southern India, in the 1970s. They shouted “Woo!” and “Woo-hoo!” He responded with a broad smile (wait the whole minute for it). Such applause is routine for Leo XIV. He allows himself to be applauded, cheered and acclaimed every day, sometimes several times a day. One wonders how any ordinary man can endure such constant immersion in adulation.

Poor beautiful Italy. Did the people actually vote for this? Or was it forced on them? Was there a vote? Was it fixed? I don't believe the Italian people wanted this.
"The award is named after the Vatican II declaration, Nostra Aetate, which was issued in 1965. The Nostra Aetate award serves as a symbol of the Catholic Church's ongoing commitment to improving relationships with other faiths." Some religions, like Baal and Pacamama, have child sacrifice. So, the Synodal church wants to encourage pagan practices, maybe?
