“The multiplication of the loaves and fishes occurred during the sharing; that is the miracle,” said Pope Leo XIV in his homily at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon, on 17 April, which was attended by around 120,000 people. He continued: ‘There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken not with a snatching hand, but with a giving hand.” Common heresy in the Francis era Here, Leo XIV reflects an idea that Pope Francis has returned to several times: that the multiplication of the loaves is not about a supernatural increase in food, but a transformation of human hearts that leads to sharing. During the Angelus on 26 July 2015, Francis said that 'the miracle does not consist in the multiplication itself, but in the sharing'. At the Angelus on 29 July 2018, and in various weekday homilies at Santa Marta, Francis reiterated that the true sign is not a miracle, but a change in attitude; the crowd learns to share. On 25 July 2021, Francis …Zêde
April 19th - Saint of the Day: Saint Alphege of Canterbury, Archbishop, Monk & Martyr What kind of man refuses to buy his own freedom because that money belongs to the poor? Saint Alphege did. He was an Archbishop of Canterbury, a monk, a shepherd of souls, and a martyr who chose faithfulness over survival. When pagan captors demanded a huge ransom for his release, he would not let the Church’s resources be spent on saving himself while the poor still suffered. That is the kind of courage that stops people in their tracks. His story is intense, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. A holy bishop captured during the sack of Canterbury. A shepherd who begged mercy for his people. A saint who faced a brutal death rather than betray the Gospel he preached. Saint Alphege proves that real Christian love is not soft, shallow, or convenient. It is sacrificial. It is fearless. It is real. This is one of those Catholic saint stories that hits hard because it asks a serious …Zêde
Sant' Elfego (Elfege) di Canterbury Vescovo - Festa:19 aprile 954 - 1011 Nacque in Inghilterra nel 954. Divenuto benedettino nell’abbazia di Deerhurst, nel Gloucestershire, proseguì la carriera ecclesiastica come abate di un monastero a Bath e quindi, nel 984, come vescovo di Winchester. Nel 1006 fu nominato arcivescovo di Canterbury. Era molto amato dal popolo per la sua generosità ed umanità. Durante l’invasione danese del 1011 si rifiutò di fuggire e fu preso prigioniero. Non volle pagare il proprio riscatto con le elemosine raccolte per i poveri e per questo motivo venne ucciso a Greenwich. Fu bastonato a morte con le pesanti ossa di un bue che era servito ai pagani per un luculliano banchetto. Le sue reliquie furono conservate nella chiesa di San Paolo a Canterbury, fino all’avvento della riforma.

John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …Zêde

We live in a time where the "Prince Charming" bailed on foot because his horse died miles ago, and the "Princess" is still locked in her tower, terrified to turn the key because she just got her nails done... Whatever happened to values? To real love, loyalty, and basic respect for another human being? Where did it all go? Face-to-face conversations have been replaced by ghosting and silence. Working on a relationship has been traded for "upgrading" to a newer, shinier model. Friendships now have an expiration date—usually right when the benefits run out. People who were supposed to be your rock end up becoming your worst enemies. Where the hell did the integrity go?! Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. Not for a second. The "Prince" who was supposed to be charming turns out to be just another player who used you and moved on. The "Princess" who was once wrapped around your neck, telling you that you were her entire world, turns on a dime the moment she finds someone with a bigger bank …Zêde
On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …Zêde
Seems like Catholics are no better than Leo. Not one defended Our Lord from another Blasphemy from trump. But I watched how quickly they all came out of the wood work when he and Leo got into it. Well, you chose your god. Be prepared for the consequences. No less defending an evil prot who lead an evil life. Child abuser! One Pope called an inquisition because of protestantism. Another said, they are the worst heretics, before, now and to come. How many sins did they commit? They will find out when the time comes.

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.

Perhaps the clearest philosophical truth of our age is this: a disturbing portion of humanity is so blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome, petty economic fluctuations, and shallow political thinking that they cannot comprehend the magnitude of what President Donald J. Trump has achieved. While they obsess over the price of gasoline, history is being rewritten in the Middle East through the force of his courage and leadership. That is not mere disagreement. That is a profound failure to recognize true significance when it stands directly before them. They just cannot admit his genius. x.com/sircensorlot/status/2045261079442325860
Catholics do not put their hope in princes, but justice requires us to acknowledge facts. Real achievements happened where others failed for decades. Obsessing over gas prices while ignoring less suffering in the Holy Land is not prudence. It is the materialism the Church has always condemned. True peace comes only from Christ the Prince of Peace. Let us thank God for these fruits, pray to Our Lady Queen of Peace to guard what has been gained, and ask protection for Christians in the region. History is written by God, not Washington.

Pope Leo encounters his legendary Spiritual Father in Yaoundé | Shalom World News At the Catholic University of Central Africa in Yaoundé, Cameroon, a quiet yet deeply symbolic moment unfolds in Pope Leo's journey. Before him stands a newly unveiled statue of Saint Augustine of Hippo—his legendary ‘spiritual father’, the guiding light of his Augustinian vocation. Enveloped in a shell resembling Africa, the statue holds a book bearing the words “Tolle Lege”— “take up and read”—the very call that pierced Augustine’s heart and triggered his conversion. For Pope Leo, this is no distant history; it is a living echo. The same words that transformed Augustine continue to resonate in his own life, shaping his mission, his prayer, and his path as a shepherd of the Church. With reverence, the Holy Father blesses the statue, pausing as if in silent dialogue with the saint who has walked with him across the years. In that gesture lies more than ceremony—it is a moment of recognition, of …Zêde
