Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …Zêde
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.
Stephen Colbert Wants the Vice President to Lay Off the Pope "More Catholic Than the Pope" The “Late Show” host scolded JD Vance for suggesting that Pope Leo XIV “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” nytimes.com/…16/arts/television/stephen-colbert-v… Appearing at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Ga., on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance commented on Pope Leo XIV’s criticism of the U.S. bombing of Iran, saying the pontiff should “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” Stephen Colbert, a fellow Catholic, called Vance, a relatively recent convert, out on Wednesday. “Wow! Hey, hey, hey, JD, I know you’re Catholic, but you joined in 2019, OK?” he said. “I’ve been genuflecting since the mid-1960s.” “I think you’re out over your Catholic skis here, OK? I think it’s time for you to sit down, then stand back up. Then kneel. Then stand again. Then shake hands with people around you. Then kneel a little more, then go take communion, then go back to your …Zêde
NEW: Outrage has broken out after Pope Leo appeared to quote Jesus using a passage that does not exist in the Bible. “Jesus told us, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.’” The first line echoes scripture. The rest does not appear in any biblical passage. The Pope is being accused of using a fabricated quote from Jesus to push a political message.

On April 9, Pope Leo XIV met with David Axelrod, one of the most seasoned operators in the Democratic Party and the architect of Barack Obama‘s rise to power; four days later, Leo delivered the first in a series of pointed public critiques of President Donald Trump and his Republican administration. Hal Lambert, the founder of Point Bridge Capital and one of the more clear-eyed observers of the intersection between American politics and institutional power, saw coordination where others saw coincidence. ‘This is 100 percent political, ok? This is all about trying to hurt President Trump’s Catholic vote during the midterms and Republicans in the midterms,’ Lambert said Monday on CNN. A Pope who breaks bread with partisan operatives and emerges days later to attack a sitting president has ceased, in my mind, to function as a shepherd of souls. He has become, instead, a political actor—and a graceless one at that. And this fits a recent pattern for the Vatican. When Hamas butchered …
During the flight from Algeria to Cameroon, Pope Leo XIV explained his visit to a mosque: "The visit was significant in showing that, despite our different beliefs, ways of worshipping and ways of living, we can live together in peace." However, Leo XIV had referred to the mosque as a 'divine, sacred space' and was not just talking about social affairs.
Pope explains his visit to the mosque was not to pretend Catholicism and Islam are the same but simply to promote the rejection of religious violence in Algeria.
This odd video is obviously chopped up and not necessarily representative of what was said. However, if he actually said something akin to "we have different ways of worshiping", beware. The point is the object of worship, not the manner of worshiping.
April 17th - Saint of the Day: Saint Robert of Molesme, Benedictine Abbot He walked away from comfort, wealth, and status to chase a stricter life of prayer, poverty, and obedience to God. Saint Robert of Molesme is one of those saints most people do not talk about enough, but his life changed the Church in a huge way. He founded Molesme, became the first abbot of Cîteaux, and helped spark the Cistercian reform that would shape Catholic spirituality for generations. What makes his story hit so hard is this: when monastic life around him started getting comfortable and soft, he refused to settle. He wanted more than a respectable religious life. He wanted holiness. He wanted the Rule of Saint Benedict lived fully. He wanted a life centered on prayer, sacrifice, work, and total surrender to Christ. That makes Saint Robert’s life feel painfully relevant today. In a world obsessed with comfort, image, and convenience, he reminds us that real peace is not found in …Zêde
Saint Robert de Molesme - Fêté le 17 avril Abbé, fondateur de Cîteaux (+ 1110) Ce jeune bourguignon entra très jeune chez les bénédictins de Moutier-la-Celle dans l'Aube. A peine son noviciat terminé, il fut nommé prieur. Les bénédictins de Tonnerre ayant voulu l'avoir comme Père Abbé, il accepta, mais les ayant trouvés très relâchés et surtout peu réformables, il prit congé d'eux et revint à Moutier. Quelques ermites l'invitèrent à se mettre à leur tête et il partit avec eux dans la forêt de Molesme en Côte d'Or dans des petites huttes de branchages autour d'une petite chapelle. Les recrues et les dons affluèrent, les huttes disparurent, un monastère se construisit et les ermites devinrent plus soucieux de leur confort que de l'ascèse. Saint Robert les quitta, mais les dons cessèrent en même temps. Ils le supplièrent de revenir et il revint. La ferveur, elle ne revint pas. Alors avec une vingtaine de moines plus décidés, dont saint Albéric et saint Étienne Harding, …Zêde
At the Meeting for Peace with the Community of Bamenda, Pope Leo gives visible form to his message of reconciliation. From the front steps of Saint Joseph’s Cathedral, he releases white doves—a sign of hope for a region longing for unity and healing.
illuminatibot @iluminatibot You don't seriously believe all these 5G towers were installed because your rulers really wanted you to have faster internet, do you?
I have taken this route. I read some of her history and letters. It is best to address principalities and errors as such, not the person(s) seemingly or not advocating them. Our Lord reminds us that people send themselves to hell. He never mentions the names of His enemies even while taking to them.

En Afrique, Léon XIV donne la joie comme antidote aux « passions tristes » ktotv Léon XIV a quitté le Cameroun après une dernière messe à Yaoundé, mais ses textes restent. Il emploie depuis le début de ce voyage des mots très forts. Illustration encore à son arrivée en Angola, où il dénonce « Les despotes et les tyrans du corps et de l'esprit [qui] veulent rendre les âmes passives et les passions tristes. » Léon XIV, lui, encourage une vraie puissance transformatrice : la joie ! - et demande au passage qu'on n'instrumentalise pas ses discours dans un faux débat avec le Président américain. Le récit de la journée avec nos envoyés spéciaux à bord de l'avion papal Philippine de Saint Pierre et Alic Bonneton.
Trump once again is lying. But is that such a surprise? Just heard the truth. And his lies are furthest from it. As a matter of fact everything he said on his truth social posts was a lie! Better check from those who know best.
There are several video's and some are short. I will label the short ones. Who was involved with navalny's death? The person in the video is not nalvany, but his right hand man I believe. He might be the one navalny beat up after a fight. They were lovers! They tried to blame Putin (as usual) attacking him. But it later came out that it was nalvany himself. The same video is posted on gtv as well two years ago. Remember the Ukraine Doctors confirmed it was his heart which killed him. NOT Putin! Remember the poison they accused of Putin of giving to navalny was so dangerous they needed a hazmat suit on to even go anywhere near him. NO ONE ELSE on the plane was sick. He had several vax's given to him in Germany where he asked Putin he can go to for a check up. And President Putin ok'd his trip there. All the propaganda they tried to sell to the people failed. And it will always fail as lies usually do. There are many others who have proved navalny was a commie. Proved he tried to overthrow …Zêde
I wonder why some propagandist on gtv think a picture would sway a strong mind of a Catholic. Or articles from commies and nazis will prove Putin is evil. No proof. No documents. Just accusations from commies and nazis of the EU and NATO. The same people who want to murder and starve and poison us. Shows they are working for the very evil "good Catholics" try to avoid. How pathetic they are. Heaven has no place for liars and haters. GOD is Pure Love and Truth. I will stick with GOD.
Leo XIV’s New Curia Prefect Started Ugly Cathedral: A new cathedral is planned in Waitara, Sydney, for the Diocese of Broken Bay. The project, which includes education and community facilities, has been designed by Niall McLaughlin Architects. The cathedral neither evokes the Catholic faith nor is it beautiful. The bishop responsible for it is Monsignor Anthony Randazzo, 59. On 25 March, Leo XIV appointed him as the new Prefect of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts. It will be the first new Catholic cathedral to be built in Australia in over a century.
Plans for the new cathedral — the first built in Australia for over a century — in the Diocese of Broken Bay What do you think?
