Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.
EMTY SEATS: Catholic Traveler had a video on X.com from yesterday's Easter Night Eucharist with Leo XIV. Screenshots (fair use)
@sp2 I see your point and you could be correct. The published pic on this site showed less than a dozen empty seats which were probably in the back of the church. Unfortunately, too many media-types on both sides of any issue are inclined to push a narrative rather than inform their readers.
I was looking at 6:12, also in the dark at 22:24
In the dark, there are some areas without candle light, but to claim it's "Hundreds"....... for crying out loud....... the original post is trying to present it to be an MT house.
Is the originator of the post an instigator?
Don't be like Francis and say partial truths to present a point........
I want the whole picture.
Punong Kaso Laban Kay Kardinal Pell Binawi
Noong Marso 2, ang Austrianong piskal na si Mark Gibson ay binawi na sa wakas ang isang (halatang pekeng) kaso ng pang-aabuso laban kay Kardinal George Pell na nagsimula mula sa isang tao na namatay noong Enero. Sa kasalukuyan naging kilala na, na noong 2012 ang nambabatikos ay itinanggi na inabuso siya ni Pell.
Hindi malinaw sa puntong ito kung gaano kadaming kaso pa ang nananatili laban kay Pell.
Sa Lunes magsisimula ang apat na linggong paunang pagdinig sa Melbourne sa presensiya ng kardinal. Doon lamang mapagdedesisyunan kung ang mga tagausig ay may sapat na ebidensiya upang ang kaso ay dalhin sa paglilitis.

12 habambuhay hatol sa lider ng kulto.
12 habambuhay hatol sa lider ng kulto
Ni Danilo Garcia (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated June 28, 2012
MANILA, Philippines - Hinatulan ng dalawang huwes sa Marikina City Regional Trial Court ng 12-habambuhay na pagkakulong ang lider ng isang kulto makaraang mapatunayan sa kasong panggagahasa sa 15 nitong babaeng kasapi kabilang ang ilang menor-de-edad.
Sa inilabas na hatol nina Judge Marie Lyn Andal ng Marikina Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 92 at Judge Lorna Catriz-Cheng Chua ng Marikina Regional Trial Court Branch 168, napatunayan na nagkasala ang akusadong si Antonio Dumala Faelnar, founder ng Global Empire Covenant of the Divine Government sa panggagahasa sa kanyang mga miyembrong babae.
Nabatid sa rekord ng korte na bukod sa panggagahasa, dumanas din ng matinding pagpapahirap ang mga menor-de-edad na miyembro, tulad ng pagsasailalim sa ilang ritwal kung saan pinapalo ng kahoy sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng katawan habang pinupuwersa naman ang iba na …Higit pa

New Record: 14,000 Registered for Chartres Pilgrimage on First Day
Fourteen thousand people registered in a single day for the 2026 Notre-Dame de Chrétienté pilgrimage on the Paris–Chartres route, compared to 6,000 on the first day last year.
The pilgrimage will take place over Pentecost, from May 23 to 25, and is expected to gather 20,000 participants walking to Chartres.
A new, more accessible option - the “Jerusalem Route” - has been introduced. Shorter than the traditional 100 km walk (around 70 km), it is designed for those unable to complete the full distance. Like the main route, it also ends in Chartres, allowing more pilgrims to take part in the final stages of the pilgrimage.

Kardinal Müller Pinuna ang Sistema ng Pag-eespiya ng Vatican
Labis na pinuna ni Kardinal Gerhard Müller ang mga "nagpaalam" kay Papa Francis tungkol sa mga aktibidad ng kongregasyon ng Vatican sa likod ng prepekto na responsable dito.
Sa pagsasalita sa Fondazione Iniziativa Subalpina sa Stresa, Italy (Oktubre 20) ibinunyag ni Müller na nangyari ito noong siya pa ang prepekto ng Kongregasyon para sa Doktrina ng Pananampalataya, "Kailangan kong sabihin sa publiko na hindi ito okay". Ibinunyag ni Müller na siya at ang ilan sa kanyang mga katuwang ay naging biktima ng "di kilalang akusasyon na walang halaga".

Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman BREAKING: Iran's FM Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz: It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman. The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran. For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely. Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries. x.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/2039345578287550503

Daniel Davis on YouTube has a recent interview with Robert Barnes, a constitutional lawyer who has done commendable work, including defending the Amish during the lockdowns. In it he has a short expose on the handcuffing of JFK junior going on the current administration. Very unsettling. Carry on Christian soldiers. Mother Mary strengthen us.

Ruso na Patriarka Duda sa "Malusog na Pagiisip" ng Patriarka ng Constantinople
Ang desisyon ng Constantinople na kanselahin ang 1686 na kautusan na naglipat sa Kiev Metropolitanate sa Moscow ay hindi maaaring ginawa ng may nasa katinuang pag-iisip, sinabi ni Patriarch Kirill ng Moscow at lahat ng Ruso sa Moscow ayon sa Interfac (Disyembre 27).
Sa pagbabalik ng resulta ng Supreme Moscow Church Council, sinabi niyang kasing kakaiba ito ng pagbuwag ng kalayaan ng Estados Unidos.
"Pagtatawanan ito ng lahat", sinabi ni Kyrill na iginigiit na ang Constantinople ay nagdesisyong magsagawa ng "isang karikaturang kuwento" at "mukha itong trahedya at komedya na pinagsama".

Franca Giansoldati in the Vatican circus: a joke …
In the grotesque knot that has for years tightened around the Vatican, populated by impostors forever straining towards circles that continue to keep them at a distance, the tragicomic saga of certain self-styled Vatican experts and headline fabricators goes on unabated. They form part of a well-organised clique which now seems to have lost even the most basic sense of the ridiculous to which it has surrendered itself.
The April Fool’s joke that is not funny
Against this backdrop, at 9.29 a.m. on 1 April, Katholisch.de published an article claiming that Pope Leo XIV was intending, at least provisionally, to settle the dispute over the pre-conciliar liturgy through an unusual compromise. The piece attributed to the Pontiff a non-existent motu proprio, significantly entitled Retrograde semper, under which the faithful would supposedly have been permitted, during Mass, to turn their backs on the priest, regardless of which …Higit pa
Franca Giansoldati nel circo del vaticanismo: …
Nel groviglio grottesco che da anni si addensa attorno al Vaticano, popolato da millantatori perennemente protesi verso ambienti che continuano a tenerli a distanza, prosegue senza tregua la saga tragicomica di certi sedicenti vaticanisti e fabbricatori di titoli, riuniti in una cricca ben organizzata che sembra aver ormai perduto perfino il senso del ridicolo al quale si è consegnata.
Il pesce d’aprile che non fa ridere
In questo contesto, il 1° aprile alle ore 9.29, Katholisch.de ha pubblicato un articolo nel quale sosteneva che Papa Leone XIV sarebbe intenzionato a chiudere, almeno provvisoriamente, la disputa sulla liturgia preconciliare attraverso un singolare compromesso. Il testo attribuiva infatti al Pontefice un inesistente motu proprio, significativamente intitolato Retrograde semper, con cui si sarebbe consentito ai fedeli, durante la Messa, di voltare le spalle al sacerdote, a prescindere dal messale utilizzato...

RATZINGER FOLLOWED RAHNER’S FACTUAL ERROR WHICH PRODUCES SCHISM AND CALLS FOR AUTOMATIC EXCOMMUNICATION : HE DID NOT TELL THE CHURCH ABOUT A RATIONAL AND NON SCHISMATIC ALTERNATIVE
RATZINGER FOLLOWED RAHNER’S FACTUAL ERROR WHICH …
Girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever before — and the numbers are shocking. In the late 1800s, the average age was around 16–17. By the early 1900s it had dropped to 12.5–13. Today it’s down to about 11, with some Black and Hispanic girls showing signs as early as 8, 9, or even 6–7 years old — the earliest recorded in history. Patrick Bet-David asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary why this is happening. Makary pointed to the modern environment: constant exposure to substances and chemicals with estrogen-like binding properties (found even in river water) that partially activate estrogen receptors. He called it a “huge issue” and an existential threat to human development, noting the age has been dropping by about a week and a half every year for the last 30 years. He also mentioned that in Europe, where some of these exposures may be lower, puberty still starts later (14–15 in some cases), and that American medicine has largely treated this as a minor footnote rather than …Higit pa

Europa Nahaharap sa Demograpikong Pagbagsak
"Maliban kung mayroong gagawing mabilis na aksyon, ang Europa ay nanganganib humarap sa isang lubos na demograpikong pagbagsak" ayon kay Antoine Renard, ang presidente ng Federation of Catholic Family Associations sa Brussels.
(Malinaw na, na ang naghaharing cross-party at laban sa pamilyang ideolohiya ay hindi papayag na mayroong gawing hakbang.)
Sa pagsasalita sa Catholic News Service (Abril 19), nanawagan si Renard para sa pulitikal na suporta upang magsimula ng pamilya. Kailangan ng gobyerno na "ilagay ang pamilya sa sentro ng mga nasyonal na polisiya".
Ang European Union ay may 1.58 na ipinanganak na buhay sa bawat babae noong 2015. Ang antas ng kapalit ay nasa 2.1 na panganganak bawat babae.
Ang mga bigong pulitiko tulad ni Angela Merkel ay sinusubukang takpan ang nakapipinsalang resulta ng kanilang polisiya sa pamilya sa pagnanakaw ng mga tao mula sa ikatlong daigdig, pinagkakaitan ang mga bansang ng mga kabataan at lumilikha ng din ng demograpikong kapahamakan doon.

"Amoris Laetitia" Was a "Breakthrough" for Church - Cardinal Schönborn
Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, published on April 8, 2016, was a “breakthrough” for the Church. This was stated by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 81, of Vienna, who had presented the document at the Vatican ten years ago, in an interview with Kathpress.at on March 30.
In a footnote, Francis "allowed" adulterers to grab Holy Communion using the case-by-case trick. Cardinal Schönborn commented: "That Pope Francis addressed the question of whether divorced and remarried persons may receive Communion only in a small footnote deeply moved me personally."
“When I take the document from my bookshelf or even just think about it, it still brings me to tears,” he added.
For many people in the Church - and for him personally - the document represented a “huge sigh of relief.” The reason, he explained, is that Francis speaks “about real life.”
Families in “difficult” situations should not be constrained or judged according to "rigid criteria". Instead, one …Higit pa
