Müller After Attack: "Leo XIV Not Elected for Financial Reasons"

In his book Popes, Dollars, and War, Italian journalist Massimo Franco claims that Leo XIV was elected, in part, to help bring American donors and dollars back to the Vatican.
Franco found an anonymous cardinal who said that "the combination of doctrine and dollars won".
And: "The American bishops were tired of being criticised [under Francis] and decided to make themselves heard [...] The new incentive is money, first used against Francis and then in the conclave to elect Prevost."
During the pre-conclave meetings, Japanese cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi said: "Are politics involved in the Conclave? No, I don’t think so. But maybe money."
Cardinal Reinhard Marx dedicated a full day of the pre-conclave discussion to the Holy See’s finances. Cardinal Müller responded back then, "Enough! We have to elect the successor of Peter, not Judas!"
At a book presentation in Rome on 27 April, Cardinal Gerhard Müller rejected the hypothesis that money played a role in Leo XIV’s election with an outright …Lahi ange

ROME (
LifeSiteNews) — The Diocese of Rome announced on Thursday that it has organized a Christian-Muslim dialogue event hosted at the Great Mosque of Rome next week.
In its April 30 announcement, the diocese announced that next on Thursday, May 7, it will send representatives to speak at the interfaith “Christians and Muslims in Dialogue at the Great Mosque” meeting organized by both the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy and the Diocese of Rome. In its announcement, the diocese stressed that this “interfaith encounter” will follow the examples of Pope Leo – the bishop of Rome – his predecessor Pope Francis, as well as the Second Vatican Council’s Nostra Aetate, the declaration on the relation of the Church to non-Christian religions.
The diocesan representatives who will be speaking at the meeting include Monsignor Marco Valenti, auxiliary bishop of the Northern Sector; Monsignor Marco Gnavi, head of the Office for Ecumenism …

💛May 5th - Saint of the Day: Saint Hilary of Arles, Bishop & Monk💛
🔥 He had wealth, status, and a future most people would envy. Then Christ interrupted everything. Saint Hilary of Arles was a brilliant young man pulled between ambition and God. He admitted the struggle himself: “On one side… I saw the Lord calling me; on the other the world offering me its seducing charms and pleasures.” But grace won. 🙏 Hilary gave up his wealth, became a monk, and was later dragged into becoming Bishop of Arles even though he wanted the hidden life of prayer. As bishop, he lived simply, walked on foot, preached with fire, cared for orphans, wept over sinners, and even sold church vessels to ransom captives. 💛 And here is the surprising part: he was corrected by Pope Saint Leo the Great after overstepping his authority. Instead of rebelling, Hilary stayed humble, obedient, and faithful to the Church. That is real holiness. Not ego. Not image. Not control. Just Christ winning the heart. 🔥Lahi ange

Saint Hilaire d'Arles - le 5 mai
Évêque d'Arles (+ 449)

Né en Gaule (Belgique) d'une famille d'origine grecque, il suivit saint Honorat, son parent, à Lérins, puis lui succéda sur le siège épiscopal d'Arles à l'âge de vingt-neuf ans. Il présida en tant que métropolite de Provence, les conciles de Riez (439), d'Orange (441) et de Vaison (442). Il connut des débuts difficiles car son caractère lui faisait interpeller du haut de la chaire les fidèles pour les apostropher par leur nom. "Vous l'épicière, vous faussez vos balances... vous le juge, votre jugement dépend des poulardes qu'on vous donne." Il changea sa façon de parler quand il s'aperçut que son auditoire se clairsemait et qu'ainsi la Parole de Dieu n'était plus entendue.
À Arles, en 449, saint Hilaire, évêque. Retiré de l'île de Lérins et élu malgré lui à l'épiscopat, il ouvrit à tous son amour de la pauvreté, travaillant de ses mains, vêtu hiver comme été d'une seule tunique, marchant toujours à pied. Assidu à …Lahi ange

CHOLESTEROL WAS NEVER THE ENEMY. IT WAS THE RESCUE TEAM.
For 60 years, you have been told that cholesterol clogs your arteries and causes heart attacks. You have been told to avoid eggs, butter, and red meat. You have been put on statin drugs that generate $29 billion per year in global sales. Every word of it was a lie built on one fraudulent study. In 1958, a physiologist named Ancel Keys published the Seven Countries Study. He claimed to prove that dietary fat and cholesterol caused heart disease. What he did not tell you is that he had data from 22 countries. He deliberately excluded the 15 countries that contradicted his theory. The countries with the highest fat consumption and the lowest heart disease were thrown out. He hand-picked the data to match his conclusion. And the entire Western medical system built its dietary guidelines on that fraud.

Saint Hilary of Arles - May 5
Also known as

Ilario
Memorial
5 May
Profile
Born and raised a pagan; relative of Saint Honoratus of Arles. Highly placed civil authority. Honoratus invited Hilary to the recently completed abbey of Lerins, and brought him to the faith; Hilary was baptised at Lerins, and joined the community as a monk. When Honoratus became bishop of Arles (in modern France) Hilary served as his secretary. Bishop of Arles. Hilary was an exuberant bishop, working so hard to spread the faith that he caused problems with the people and the civil authorities, and twice had to be reproved by the Vatican – his zealousness was causing more trouble than converts. But though some questioned his methods, none questions his sanctity or his true belief.

Le 5 mai, mémoire de notre père, saint Hilaire, évêque métropolitain d'Arles
D'après la "Vitae Honorati et Hilarii" et les traditions.
Saint Hilaire est né au commencement du 5ème siècle. Si on ne connaît plus son lieu de naissance exact - comme pour la plupart des gens de son époque d'ailleurs, célèbres ou non - il semble cependant que ce fut dans le même pays que saint Honorat son prédécesseur, à savoir dans l'ancienne Gaule Belgique, aux confins de la Lorraine et de la Bourgogne. Sa famille était illustre par la condition sociale, mais il en fut peut-être le plus grand ornement par la condition spirituelle. Il reçut une éducation conforme à son milieu, étudiant les arts libéraux les belles lettres. Il acquit une parfaite connaissance des pensées et écrits des philosophes antiques. Doué de vivacité d'esprit, il en développa une belle éloquence.
A l'issue de ses études, saint Hilaire fut chargé d'un poste important dans l'administration …Lahi ange

Scientists hooked electrodes up to Tibetan monks during deep meditation — expecting to see relaxed, quiet brain activity. What they recorded instead stopped them cold. Gamma waves. At amplitudes never measured in any normal human brain before. Levels so high that researchers hadn't even considered them possible to sustain in a conscious person. These monks weren't just calm. Their brains were operating on a frequency that didn't exist in scientific literature until that moment. But here's the part that should make you stop scrolling. These monks weren't doing anything new. The practices they were using — the specific meditation techniques, the concentrated attention, the precise mental training — were thousands of years old. Passed down through lineages that stretch back further than most recorded history. Tibetan Buddhist traditions had been deliberately training the mind this way for centuries before a single neuroscientist existed on this planet.

Archdiocese of New York Agrees To Pay $800,000,000 in Sex Abuse Settlement - Protestia

Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors.
So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses.
The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb.
The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.”

‘OF THE LOVE OF LONELINESS AND SILENCE..…’ ~ ‘The Imitation of Christ’ ~ Thomas A Kempis; 1872; Book I; Chapters 20; pages 32-35

[Thomas a Kempis – XIV-XV Century AD; Kempen, Holy Roman Empire/Zwolle, Holy Roman Empire; aged 90-91; Canon, Regular]
20. OF THE LOVE OF LONELINESS AND SILENCE.
SEEK for a convenient time to search thine own conscience,
and think oft on the benefits of God. Leave off all curious things, and read such matters as shall stir thee to compunction of heart for thy sins, rather than read only for occupying of the time. If thou wilt withdraw thyself from superfluous words, and from unprofitable runnings about, and from the hearing of rumours and vain tales, thou shalt find time convenient to be occupied in holy meditations. The most holy men and women that ever were fled the company of worldly-living men with all their power, and chose to serve God in secret of their heart.
One holy man said : As oft as I have been among worldly company, I have departed with less fervour of spirit than I came. And this we know well when we talk long : for it is not so hard to keep always silence, as it is not …Lahi ange

And this we know well when we talk long : for it is not so hard to keep always silence, as it is not to exceed in words when we speak much. It is also more light to be always solitary at home, than to go forth into the world and not offend."

This is outright Christian persecution, right on American soil! LOCK UP everyone who carried this out. "That went beyond disagreement and moved to punishing Christians who held conservative religious beliefs in conflict with the administration's pro-choice gender ideology agenda."
"The report found the Biden DOJ brought multiple cases against pro-life activists, many of them Christians, under the FACE Act, the freedom of access to clinic entrances."

Why is it that the filthy, arch-modernist apostate Blase Cupich—who is already 77 years old—remains in charge in Chicago?

Why Is This 77-Year-Old Arch-Modernist Cardinal Still In-Charge In Chicago?

Why Is This 77-Year-Old Arch-Modernist Cardinal Still In-Charge In Chicago?

Cardinal DiNardo, of Galveston-Houston, was born in 1949. He retired and was replaced by his coadjutor, named by Francis, in 2025.
Cardinal Dolan, of New York, was born in 1950. He was replaced by Leo XIV very shortly after turning 75, in 2025.
There is one American Cardinal who is older than both of them, and who is still in charge. And not just any cardinal: a horrible administrator, a lousy shepherd, and an ideological nightmare, who, though a native of Nebraska, has been the Archbishop of the pope’s own birthplace: Chicago. A formerly exemplary American Catholic town, whose diocese is falling apart.
One would think this useless bishop of nefarious influence would have been retired immediately. But Francis knew his presence irked his imagined “enemies” in America, so he kept him. With Leo XIV, it’s different. He knows he’s lousy. He is aware. Why has he kept him?… Our contributor Serre Verweij tries to understand it.
