"Princes and Thieves": Kushner in new book about foreign dealing Chris Hayes is joined by author Matthew Cole to discuss his reporting in a new book alleging $2 billion in payments tied to Jared Kushner’s foreign policy work. Kushner calls the allegations “completely insane” and says they never happened. MS NOW: My Source for News, Opinion, and the World.
Lazarus Peter Kalamation.com These accusations are grave. The first bank account was allegedly a slush fund used to finance operations in Libya and elsewhere by Erik Prince, the former C.E.O. of Blackwater, the private military contractor (now known as Academi). If Kushner was a signatory to this account, he was helping to run a foreign government’s proxy wars. And if he used some or all of the money in the second account for his personal benefit, he was effectively an undeclared agent of a foreign power. Cole’s work is sufficiently calm, detailed and forensic to necessitate a large-scale and urgent congressional inquiry. One assumes that, since Kushner regards all of these claims as crazed inventions, he is anxious to clear his name from some of the most grievous charges ever leveled against a senior U.S. federal official. If the country is incapable of letting its citizens know whether or not its foreign policy is for sale, the difference between a democratic republic and the secretive …Ētahi atu
Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar presented Pope Leo XIV with shoes made by Slovenian manufacturer Alpina during her Vatican visit on October 26. “They are very famous for their cross-country skiing shoes, and I also gave him some nice moccasins to wear in his leisure time,” she said, according to ACI Stampa. During their nearly 40-minute audience, Pirc Musar formally invited the Pope to visit Slovenia. She later said she understood he would find time to visit within the next two years, although no date was confirmed.

The Dangerous Deception Of Lukewarm Christianity St. Paul reminds us that we are children of light, called to live a holy life in Christ. However, many of us choose darkness over light, compromising with the world and giving in to sin. We must choose to live as children of light, allowing God’s grace to fill us and shine through us, or remain in darkness. Fr.

Dutch Bishop Rob Mutsaerts has challenged Cardinal Arthur Roche’s position on the original Latin Mass (VitaminExp.blogspot.com, October 24). Cardinal Roche had warned that some Catholic groups use the original liturgy to oppose Vatican II’s reforms and argued that Catholics should not attend exclusively the Mass. The auxiliary bishop of ’s-Hertogenbosch replied that attachment to the Roman liturgy cannot be equated with opposition to Church authority or rejection of Vatican II. The Church recognises numerous ancient liturgical traditions, including the Byzantine, Maronite, Armenian and Chaldean rites: “Why is almost every ancient Catholic liturgical tradition considered a treasure, except the ancient Roman liturgy?” Bishop Mutsaerts asked. The Church was not founded anew in 1965, he wrote. It remains the same Church that received the faith from the Apostles, produced the Church Fathers, built medieval cathedrals and held the Council of Trent. Bishop Mutsaerts also warned that postconciliar …Ētahi atu

May this journey be an occasion for us to open our hearts to one another, strengthen our communion as brothers and sisters, and renew our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel with joy.” Medical details of the lung cancer surgery According to the Vatican Press Office, the Pope’s recovery continues to progress, in line with the favourable assessments of his medical team. As previously reported, the surgery was successful and without complications. Subsequent examinations confirmed that the cancer was localized and no further oncological treatment is necessary.

Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …Ētahi atu
They should distance themselves for they are fakes and their prayers are not heard . Why did they go there if they didn’t mean it? Hoping for more resettlement money?
"How dare those bishops pray with Trump!" Meanwhile... Pro-abortion Dems are given awards by 'catholic' dioceses. Oh, and some bishops are telling their 'faithful' to make sure to vote blue! Cuz the poor & refugees and stuff.
They spray the skies with metals, then steer the weather with invisible waves. The clouds react, the storms obey. And while the Earth is being weaponized, they tell you it’s your fault. So you stop moving. You stop breathing. All to “save the planet.”

Empty words: A Vatican spokesman told The Pillar that the group had only been denied permission to enter the basilica in a procession — such processions are typically not permitted — and could have been instead allowed to gather for prayer inside, if organized had made a specific request to do so.
"Processions are typically not permitted?" That's a lie. They had a factually documented LGTBQ+ Procession into Saint Peter's with flags and all. ....the pilgrimage was listed on the official Jubilee website’s Italian-language calendar of groups scheduled to pass through the Holy Door." LGBTQ Catholics process through Holy Door at St. …
They built a wall to keep the pilgrims out!!! The agressive LGBT group last year were welcomed with open arms. Tee Vatican looks more like a circus than a Holy Catholic Church.
Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

Quello che i modernisti non tollerano è la visibilità della messa cattolica. QUAS PRIMAS, L’enciclica con cui Pio XI istituisce la festa della regalità di Nostro Signore (l’ultima domenica di ottobre), insiste sul fatto che nulla più del culto pubblico e solenne, la Messa appunto, sia il mezzo più adatto a riaffermare i diritti sovrani, anche sociali, che Cristo esercita per diritto di natura (divina) e per conquista (la redenzione operata dalla passione e morte in croce). Papa Ratti afferma, ancora, che il primo luogo dell’esercizio di questa regalità risieda nell’intelletto degli uomini (aristotelicamente, la facoltà dell’anima che distingue l’uomo da qualsiasi altra creatura), per poi scendere nella volontà, nel cuore e dunque dare forma ad ogni aspetto della società: la famiglia, la scuola, il tribunale, la sanità, lo Stato intero. Ecco perché, per un cattolico, è necessario anche lo studio, l’approfondimento: il culto del Dio uno e Trino, per citare San Paolo ai romani, è un culto …Ētahi atu
