New Vatican Prefectessa Is Divorced: Montse Alvarado, the new Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, stated in an interview on Youtube.com on March 10, 2025: "I'm not married, but I am annulled in the Church, and I think it's important to talk about that too, for people to realize that annulment brings you closer to the Church and closer to Christ."
Montse Alvarado: “I'm not married, but I am annulled in the church, and I think it's important to talk about that too, for people to realize that annulment brings you closer to the church and closer to Christ.” This is the new Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication in a video on March 10, 2025.
Anyone claiming 'annulment brings you closer to the Church and closer to Christ' likely should have not been granted an annulment until such a misconception/misunderstanding could be clarified. Her declaration seems like a (proud) advertisement for annulment. Is this the kind of skewed 'communications' we can expect from her office? In and of itself, her annulment would not disqualify her from the job but her perspective certainly should. As bungled a piece of communication as one could fabricate.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,13-16. Jesus said to his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."

IRISH PATRIOT @irishpatriot91 The lawsuit against Bill Gates has entered unprecedented territory. Plaintiffs arrived in such numbers that an additional courtroom had to be opened. When the defense opened with the single substantive statement “vaccines are safe and effective” the gallery erupted in laughter. The judge was forced to intervene. Nine attorneys on the defense side, only one spoke. The rest simply concurred.
Carlos Balén argues on InfoVaticana.com that Pope Leo XIV’s June 6 portrayal of al-Andalus as a model of interreligious coexistence is undermined by the very examples he cites. The Pope described Islamic Spain as “a space of contact, conversation, and dialogue among Christians, Muslims, and Jews,” pointing to Córdoba and Toledo, the figures of Averroes and Maimonides, and Alfonso X’s School of Translators. Balén contends that each of these examples contradicts rather than supports the Pope’s thesis. His main arguments are as follows: Maimonides Fled Córdoba Maimonides was born in Córdoba, but when the Almohads captured the city in the mid-twelfth century, they revoked the legal protections previously granted to Jews and forced them to choose between conversion, exile, or death. Maimonides and his family fled, eventually settling in Egypt, where he spent the rest of his life. He became an intellectual figures not because he flourished under Almohad rule, but because he escaped it. …Bivule

Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney, Australia, wrote his pastoral letter on Corpus Christi on 3 June about adoration and liturgy. Main points: - Of the various physical postures, kneeling most clearly reveals our beliefs about God and our relationship with Him. - We are called to show reverence before receiving Holy Communion at Mass. - In most cases, this reverence is shown by bowing deeply; however, many people choose to receive Communion while kneeling. - This is a perfectly valid option envisaged in the current Missal. Kneeling was the standard way of receiving Holy Communion in the Latin Church for many centuries. - Altar benches, which are still present in many of our churches, serve as a reminder of this reverent tradition. - "I also I also ask our parish clergy to restore kneelers in every church where they are missing."

Masturbation and voodoo artwork in Paris churches. Worse than Germany: During the 'Nuit Blanche' event organised by the Paris Archdiocese on June 6-7, there were 'immersive installations' in churches. This infamous event was directed by Barbara Butch, a lesbian activist who is known for playing Jesus Christ in the controversial opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics. According to a video published by TribuneChrétienne.com, the installation featured satanic sounds, overlapping voices, whispers, creaks, breathing and what the organisers described as an exploration of 'dark ideas', 'an unstable perception of reality' and a 'quasi-hypnotic' atmosphere. Inside the churches, there were voodoo-inspired masks, grotesque figures, and skeletal humanoid sculptures. One figure appeared to simulate masturbation near an altar.

Si les critiques se concentrent souvent sur Barbara Butch ou sur la mairie de Paris, la véritable question est ailleurs Pourquoi les autorités diocésaines ont-elles accepté que des églises soient intégrés à une telle programmation ?
Folha de S. Paulo, 12 novembre 1979 (*) Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Date du 20 mars de cette année qui touche à sa fin, un document que je n’hésite pas à qualifier de la plus belle lettre pastorale collective publiée depuis l’époque de Pie XII. Je ne l’ai connue que par un exemplaire de « Cristianità » (Piacenza, Italie, octobre 1979), qui la transcrit de « La Documentation Catholique » (5/19-8-79). Il s’agit d’un message signé par Mgr Matthew Kia Yen-Wen, archevêque de Taipei, par Mgr Joseph Kuo, archevêque de Salamina et neuf autres évêques et prélats de Formose [Taiwan]. Kuo Joshih (Guo Ruoshi), Joseph Kia Yen-Wen, Matthew Dès que je l’ai lu, j’ai décidé d’en faire un résumé pour les lecteurs de la « Folha ». Mon esprit s’est abreuvé de ce texte, limpide et cristallin, comme un voyageur du Sahara – selon l’image éculée – s’abreuverait à la source généreuse trouvée dans une oasis inattendue.

1st book of Kings 17,7-16. The brook near where Elijah was hiding ran dry, because no rain had fallen in the land. So the LORD said to him: "Move on to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have designated a widow there to provide for you." He left and went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the entrance of the city, a widow was gathering sticks there; he called out to her, "Please bring me a small cupful of water to drink." She left to get it, and he called out after her, "Please bring along a bit of bread." "As the LORD, your God, lives," she answered, "I have nothing baked; there is only a handful of flour in my jar and a little oil in my jug. Just now I was collecting a couple of sticks, to go in and prepare something for myself and my son; when we have eaten it, we shall die." "Do not be afraid," Elijah said to her. "Go and do as you propose. But first make me a little cake and bring it to me. Then you can prepare something for yourself and your son. For the LORD, the God of Israel, …Bivule
"Poisoned Bread: During his repast he usually had by him a raven which flew from the neighboring wood. The raven being present, as was its wont, the servant of God threw the bread to it, saying: "In the name of Jesus Christ take this bread and cast it in a place where no mortal can find it." Then the raven, opening its bill and spreading its wings, began to flutter around the bread, croaking, as if it distinctly said it greatly desired to obey but could not execute the order given. But the man of God said again and again: ''Take, take this bread without fear, and go cast it in a place where no one can find it."
[Saint Benedict of Nursia; V-VI Century AD; born: Nursia, Kingdom of Italy/died: Mons Casinus, Eastern Roman Empire; aged 67; Father of Western Monasticism ~ Order of Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe, Rule of Saint Benedict, Saint Benedict Medal] CHAPTER VIII ~ Of the poisoned bread which a raven CAST AWAY IN A EEMOTE PLACE BY ORDER OF St. BENEDICT. THE communities which the saint had established in various parts of the desert, proving by their piety that they had nothing at heart but the love of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, many people of the world were moved to forsake it; and, banishing from their hearts feelings of pride and presumption, came to submit themselves to the yoke of the Lord. But as the wicked have a habit of envying others the benefits and happiness of virtue, although they claim it not themselves, Florence, priest of a church in the vicinity, grandfather of Florence, our sub-deacon, instigated by the spirit of evil, began to thwart the saint's designs.
