Синодалност в действие: По време на литургията на Велики четвъртък епископ Майкъл Мартин от Шарлот, Северна Каролина, делегира ритуала за измиване на краката на миряни. Евхаристията беше в църквата на йезуитите. Епископ Мартин сам участва в ритуала, но също така позволи на членове на миряните да извършат голяма част от незадължителния мандат.
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.
Последното наказателно дело срещу католическия следовател Дейвид Дейлидън е прекратено. С това се слага край на продължилата почти десетилетие съдебна битка, свързана с разследването му под прикритие на индустрията за аборти. През 2015 г. Дейлиден публикува серия от видеоклипове под прикритие, които показват, че служители, свързани с Федерацията за планирано родителство в Америка, продават части от тела и фетални тъкани на абортирани бебета. През 2016 г. канцеларията на тогавашния главен прокурор на Калифорния Камала Харис (2011-2017 г.) повдига обвинение срещу Дейлиден и колежката му Сандра Мерит, свързано с незаконно записване (нахлуване в личния живот). Тя не е повдигнала обвинение срещу "Планирано …Повеќе
Францисканецът отец Франческо Патън е автор на размишленията за днешния Кръстен път в Колизеума в Рим с папа Лъв XIV. Отец Патън служи като кустос на Светата земя от 2016 до 2025 г. На 1 април той заяви пред VaticanNews.va, че вдъхновението идва от "настоящата действителност" и че медитациите имат за цел да вдъхновят политическа "промяна". Днес пресслужбата на Ватикана публикува текста. Традиционно покайно и съзерцателно богослужение, Via Crucis тук е пренасочено като средство за съвременен социално-политически размисъл. Текстът преминава от Страстите Христови към войната, бежанците, трафика на хора, наблюдението, депортирането, медиите, икономиката, затворите, заложниците и потушаването на протестите. Забележително …Повеќе
На Велики четвъртък Лъв XIV измива и целува краката на 12 свещеници в Латеранската базилика. В проповедта си той си спомни за своя предшественик: Както веднъж отбеляза папа Франциск: "Това е дълг, който идва от сърцето. Аз го обичам. Обичам го и обичам да го правя, защото това е, което Господ ме е научил да правя". Той не говореше за абстрактен императив или формална, празна заповед, а по-скоро изразяваше сърдечното си послушание към милосърдието на Христос, източник и модел на нашето собствено милосърдие".

@Jeffrey Ade More of a reason for us to double down on Prayers. Having a Mass said for him would be a great way to help him. If we do nothing. GOD Will give us nothing. Want a beer after dinner to relax or enjoy? Give it up. At a barbecue and can't wait for that steak? Take a hot dog instead. Little things add up. St. Theresa of the Little way you have promoted should help you to understand this. We do nothing. We get nothing! Nothing is impossible with GOD. But we must earn it. Maybe it's just me and a few others who have the faith we need in GOD. I don't know. But I will depend on him and keep praying for him and I will have a Mass said for him this Sunday. I don't know about the rest of you. Sitting back and attacking him won't help him nor us.
First remember, it was trump who called Putin 3 weeks ago for help out of the mess he made. Yet didn't listen to him. Now they are turning to Putin to help end this madness that trump and bibi made. Unfortunately, not even Putin can stop this. That is not what GOD wants. That is not His Will for peace. Not our time. ------------- As the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran intensifies into a full regional crisis, Gulf and Arab capitals have abandoned Washington as their diplomatic anchor and are converging on Moscow — with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, and leaders from the UAE, Oman, and Turkey all reaching directly to Vladimir Putin in an unprecedented geopolitical realignment. Putin, positioning Russia as the region's sole credible stabilizer, has formally opened what the Kremlin is calling a coordinated mediation track — with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirming Russia stands ready to make its "strongest contribution" to …Повеќе
We are on the same page dear cardinal. So, now please abolish novus ordo. For ever.
«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
Pope Leo leads Way of the Cross at the Colosseum| Shalom World News In a powerful and deeply symbolic gesture, Pope Leo added to this year’s Good Friday observance a living testimony of his own faith. At Rome’s Colosseum, he did more than preside— the 70-year-old pontiff carried the Cross himself through every station of the Via Crucis, marking a rare and historic departure from recent papal practice. This marks the first time in decades that a pope carried the cross to every station. His predecessors, Benedict XVI and John Paul II, bore the Cross only briefly, while Francis, in later years, watched from a distance due to frailty. As thousands gathered beneath the dark Roman sky, candlelight flickered against ancient stone, illuminating a scene both solemn and stirring. With each step, the Pope’s quiet endurance echoed the Passion itself—each movement heavy with prayer, each pause steeped in meaning. In that sacred silence, the act became more than remembrance. It became an encounter …Повеќе
На Велики четвъртък кардинал Луис Хосе Руеда Апарисио от Богота, Колумбия, измива краката на хомосексуални проститутки ("транссексуални сексуални работнички"). Този акт отразява подобни жестове, направени от папа Франциск.

JHW could bring the Church back to Tradition but realizing that Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church when interpreted rationally are traditional. So he does not have to be labelled a Latin Mass traditionalist any more. Vatican Council II is an ally.
IRAN WAR: Bridges, Electric Power Plants Next /Lt Col Daniel Dav is & Robert Barnes How many times does he have to say it's all about the oil? Not only from him but from his administration. One former Military Officer even saying on live tv. We will go in and take anything we want. How sick and evil that is. Iran was no threat to anyone. including us. They say we are doing it to free the people of Iran. No one asked for his help. They don't need his help. Nor do they want it. Now they are all united and standing firm against two lying, evil beasts. And dragging us into their evil war with people who didn't want to harm anyone. People who live in peace with many other religions. Getting along and helping each other. Maybe that's what they hate about Iran. The same reason why they hate Russia!
Well the "ONLY" good thing coming out of this evil war against Iran is how I have watched trump get thrown off the pedestal he and his base put him on. Time and time again. Now the whole world knows we are far from the greatest and most powerful Military at all. Nor the wisest. So much for all he needs is 48 hours to do the job. In and out he said. And now over two months and getting worse every day. And no end in sight.
