Catholic Italian author Vittorio Messori, 84, died on Good Friday in Desenzano, Italy. One of his most influential works was The Ratzinger Report, which was based on an interview with Joseph Ratzinger conducted in 1984. The book evaluated the Church's condition following the Second Vatican Council. Messori also collaborated with Pope John Paul II on the book Crossing the Threshold of Hope. In it, the Pope wrote that Jesus Christ is the unique Saviour of humanity and that Christianity contains the fullness of revealed truth. Throughout his career, Messori was renowned for his loyalty to the Church, coupled with his intellectual independence. #newsKlrgxiolhj

Imagine this. You’re a Palestinian running a small shop in the West Bank. Then they arrive: Israeli settlers, masked, storm in and destroy everything. If you dare to resist,you’re taken by the IDF and your life is finished.
Book of Isaiah 52,13-15.53,1-12. See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and greatly exalted. Even as many were amazed at him-- so marred was his look beyond that of man, and his appearance beyond that of mortals-- So shall he startle many nations, because of him kings shall stand speechless; For those who have not been told shall see, those who have not heard shall ponder it. Who would believe what we have heard? To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched earth; There was in him no stately bearing to make us look at him, nor appearance that would attract us to him. He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, One of those from whom men hide their faces, spurned, and we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our …Ավելին
Buch Jesaja 52,13-15.53,1-12. Siehe, mein Knecht wird Erfolg haben, er wird sich erheben und erhaben und sehr hoch sein. Wie sich viele über dich entsetzt haben – so entstellt sah er aus, nicht mehr wie ein Mensch, seine Gestalt war nicht mehr die eines Menschen –, so wird er viele Nationen entsühnen, Könige schließen vor ihm ihren Mund. Denn was man ihnen noch nie erzählt hat, das sehen sie nun; was sie niemals hörten, das erfahren sie jetzt. Wer hat geglaubt, was wir gehört haben? Der Arm des HERRN – wem wurde er offenbar? Vor seinen Augen wuchs er auf wie ein junger Spross, wie ein Wurzeltrieb aus trockenem Boden. Er hatte keine schöne und edle Gestalt, sodass wir ihn anschauen mochten. Er sah nicht so aus, dass wir Gefallen fanden an ihm. Er wurde verachtet und von den Menschen gemieden, ein Mann voller Schmerzen, mit Krankheit vertraut. Wie einer, vor dem man das Gesicht verhüllt, war er verachtet; wir schätzten ihn nicht. Aber er hat unsere Krankheit getragen und unsere Schmerzen …Ավելին
"We have damaged the liturgy," said Cardinal Robert Sarah in a video interview with Le Figaro Idées (April 2). "It is too noisy. Too noisy. As if we were celebrating ourselves." He warned against reducing worship to mere "conviviality", insisting that a more sober liturgy celebrates the greatness of God. Cardinal Sarah also said: "Today, we practically never speak about salvation," and cautioned that "if the Church does not speak about the soul and what will happen to it after death, then it fails in its mission."
«L’Église a abimé la liturgie de la messe. Elle est trop bruyante ! C’est comme si on se célébrait nous-même. C’est devenu un moment convivial, alors que nous sommes là pour adorer Dieu, il faut une liturgie qui adore Dieu. On ne parle plus du salut et de l’âme !», se désole le cardinal Robert Sarah dans Le Club Le Figaro

BILL GATES admitted “Humans Will Be “OBSELETE” And “We’ll Decide” If We Still Need You! In a chilling new interview, billionaire globalist Bill Gates dropped the mask and revealed the endgame for humanity. "Due to advances in AI, humans will no longer be needed." When pressed on whether society will still require people at all, Gates coldly replied: "Will we still need humans? Not for most things. We'll decide."
This morning Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel, called Pope Leo XIV, and they spoke on the telephone. They exchanged greetings for Passover and Easter. They discussed the current situation in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Catholics do not celebrate Passover. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Law regarding Passover. To exchange greetings about Passover is to deny Christ's establishment of the Holy Eucharist and His death on the cross! Shame on those people!
Synodality in Action: During the Holy Thursday liturgy, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, delegated the foot-washing ritual to lay men and women. The Eucharist was at the Jesuits' church. Bishop Martin participated in the ritual himself, but he also allowed members of the laity to perform much of the optional Mandatum.
Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.
