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

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
Diana PATRIOTS ARE UNITED @DianaT192 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. Here is what cholesterol actually does. It is the raw material your body uses to produce every …Lahi ange
This is accurate. A big factor in the epidemic of Alzheimer's. An early appreciation of this fraud in my career helped prepare me for the COVID fraud. Another capitalization scheme were created money is used to setup profit from fraud. Again, nothing to do with free markets.
Agreed! Democrats ARE brainwashed... Any Catholic voting democrat at any moment in their lives, needs to repent of all the babies murdered by the abortion democrat machine they voted for. Anyone who is for abortion is an enemy of God.
le 5 mai Saint Hilaire d'Arles. 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
Maxpein @maximumpain333 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. They didn't …Lahi ange
Staff Writer May 4, 2026 News 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.” Chubb …
[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
"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 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."
'It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies, and to fewer still so to love the truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace.' St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church 'Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.' 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 'Yes, indeed, many will be damned; few will be saved.' St. Benedict Joseph Labre 'The path to Heaven is narrow, rough and full of wearisome and trying ascents, nor can it be trodden without great toil; and therefore wrong is their way, gross their error, and assured their ruin who, after the testimony of so many thousands of saints, will not learn where to settle their footing.'

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh HOLY SMOKES. DOJ report just dropped a bombshell: The Biden DOJ aggressively targeted and harassed Christians, privately called them "CULTISTS" and sought out HARSH prison sentences for peaceful protests Even worse: They used the SPLC to do it! 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." "Email correspondence shows prosecutors privately mocked Christian pro-life views as culty and pursued more severe charges and harsher sentences for peaceful protests or pro-life defendants."
