“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal
1) Matthew 7:15-16: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” 2) Does any human creature made of clay (Genesis 2:7), conceived in sin, born in guilt (Psalm 50:7), that maggot, a worm (Job 25:6), who will be judged by God upon death (2 Timothy 4:1), have any justification for leading souls to the devil? a) Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 15:20; “He never commanded anyone to be wicked, nor did He give anyone permission to sin.” b) Exodus 32:21–23; Moses said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?” c) Deuteronomy 30:17-18; “But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are led astray and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish.” d) Jonah 2:9; “Those who worship vain idols forsake their own salvation.” e) 1 John 5:21; My children,…تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together. They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly. “When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern. I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time. Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

When Prevost challenged Catholic morality to promote the "informal," sacrilegious blessing for sodomite concubines—describing the agenda of his synodal sect—he stated: "Equal freedom for men and women, freedom of religion—all of that would take priority over that particular issue."
THE REAL WAR NOBODY WANTS TO NAME On Christ, Antichrist, the Errors of Russia, and the Shape of Reality There is a war going on. You can feel it. Most people can feel it even if they cannot name it. And because they cannot name it, they name the wrong thing. They say it is a war between races. Or between nations. Or between the globalists and the patriots. Or between Islam and the West. Or between men and women. Or between the rich and the poor. None of that is wrong exactly. But none of it is the real thing. Those are the shadows of the war, not the war itself. The real war is between Christ and Antichrist. And if that language does not work for you yet, try this: it is the war between reason and unreason. Between the natural order and the war on that order. Between those who accept that reality has a shape — and those who have declared war on that shape. Christ and reason are not two different things. They are the same thing. That is the claim this piece is built on, and it is worth …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Leo XIV managed to top Francis! “As my beloved predecessor, Pope Francis, said to the Primates of the Anglican Communion in 2024, ‘it would be a scandal if, due to our divisions, we [leaders of the Conciliar-Synodal church and Anglican sect] did not fulfill our common vocation [!!!] to make Christ known’ (Address to Primates of the Anglican Communion, 2 May 2024).”
Acts of the Apostles 11,19-26. Those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but Jews. There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the Lord Jesus. The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. The news about them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch. When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart, for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord. Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Monday, April 27 – Saint Peter Canisius, Confessor and Doctor of the Church – Saint Zita of Lucca, Virgin, Servant, Secular Third Order of Franciscans – Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: Blessed Mary, Consoler of the Afflicted
Saint Pierre Canisius, prêtre de la Compagnie de Jésus, confesseur et docteur de l’église. Sanctoral Saint Pierre Canisius, Confesseur et Docteur de l’Église – Veillons à l’enseignement catholique de nos enfants. Pierre Canisius naquit à Nimègue en Gueldre, l’année même où, en Allemagne, Luther brisait avec l’Église par une révolte ouverte, tandis qu’en Espagne, Ignace de Loyola abandonnait la milice terrestre et se consacrait à soutenir les combats du Seigneur : Dieu voulant sans doute annoncer par cette double coïncidence quels seraient dans la suite ses adversaires et sous quel chef il s’enrôlerait dans la sainte milice. A Cologne où l’avaient amené ses études, Pierre se lia à Dieu par le vœu de chasteté perpétuelle et s’enrôla, peu après, dans la Compagnie de Jésus. Revêtu du sacerdoce, il entreprit aussitôt, par ses missions, ses sermons et ses écrits, de défendre la foi catholique contre les attaques perfides des novateurs. Par deux fois il prit part au Concile …
