Pope Leo XIV has appointed Paola Fanelli on April 1 as Director of the Directorate for Personnel of the Holy See, a role within the Secretariat for the Economy. She takes over responsibility for personnel policy across Vatican dicasteries. There is no public record of her expressing views on Catholic teaching. She brings a background in organizational change and human resources. Her institutional background is rooted within BNL BNP Paribas (banking). Notably, she took part, as a BNL representative, in a closed-door think tank in 2018 organized by UNICEF Italy. Fanelli's position has, because of its unique weight, a somewhat unusual history. On March 6, 2020, the Holy See Press Office announced that such an office had been established, in a reform effort backed by Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich. But the next day, the same office clarified that it remained merely a proposal under consideration. The idea stalled at the time, amid internal resistance and broader reform turbulence. With …অধিক
Examine Your Heart: Where Do You Resist? The suffering of the Lord and the martyrs challenge the notion that God would never allow suffering. We must conform ourselves to God’s will, even when it contradicts our own desires, as exemplified by Jesus’ prayer in the garden. By examining our own betrayals and rebellions against God’s teachings, we can find grace and strength to embrace our crosses and follow Him. Fr.

Low IQ fanboys. This is what your church wants. Basically man-children. When tradition has been completely erased, there is no need for memory. Everything is transient and juvenile. There is nothing eternal, and thus there is no peace, only disturbance, like a churning adolescence.

Four days ago, Pope Leo XIV praised Christian-Muslim “dialogue” during Wednesday’s meeting with the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa. On Palm Sunday, dozens of Christians were slaughtered in Northern Nigeria.
"Christian-Muslim dialogue" - Yuck! There is no dialoguing with muslims. You might as well be dialing-a-dog! We should not be dialoguing with anyone, we should be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them and instructing them in the True Faith.
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
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 …অধিক

Canadian Miriam Lancaster, 84, went to a hospital in Vancouver late March with severe back pain. She told EWTN that before any tests or diagnosis, a doctor offered assisted suicide: “The very first thing she said to me was: ‘I would like to offer you MAiD.’” She had come for treatment and responded: “No, thank you.” Lancaster added that her husband had previously been told the same and had replied: “There is no way that we are going to take measures to end our life. That is in the hands of the Lord.” A few years later she gave the same response.
When Miriam Lancaster went to the hospital for severe back pain, she was stunned to be offered euthanasia instead of real care. In this conversation, she shares how that moment exposed a terrifying shift in our culture: suffering patients are being treated as problems to “solve,” not persons to love. She says, her husband had also been offered assisted su*cide a few years earlier as well. From a Catholic perspective, Miriam’s story is a stark reminder that every life—especially when it’s fragile, disabled, or in pain—is precious, unrepeatable, and entrusted to us by God, not the state or the medical system. Her witness challenges us to build a society that offers compassion, accompaniment, and authentic palliative care, never a lethal injection disguised as “dignity.”
In a stunning move, Secretary of State Marco Rubio pledges to support Vice President JD Vance for the 2028 presidential election. Marco Rubio declared, "If JD Vance runs for president, he’s going to be our nominee and I’ll be one of the first people to support him."
White privilege doesn't exist coming from a white privileged person! LOL! Oh and I guess the fact that slavery and white privilege, which are in the blood of the US, suddenly goes away with affirmative action.
A Parable of a Quiet Prayer There once lived a husband and wife. They slept under the same blanket, but faced different directions in life. He believed in himself-in logic, in skill, in markets, in numbers, in crypto. He would say, “Work hard. Success comes to those who are strong.” She believed in God. And every night, after he had fallen asleep, she would quietly fold her hands in prayer. Not just for herself—for him. “Lord, watch over him. Give him wisdom. Keep him from mistakes. Bless the work of his hands.” Years went by. He prospered. Deals came together. Trouble seemed to pass him by. Even decisions made on a whim somehow turned out right. He would smile and say, “I knew it. I calculated everything perfectly. This is my mind. My work. My success.” She stayed silent. And thanked God. One day, an old pastor said to him. “You are a very wealthy man.” “I know,” the man replied proudly. “No,” the pastor smiled gently. “You are wealthy because someone stands before God for you …অধিক
Goku @ProjectGokuu Dr. Roger Seheult just revealed one of the biggest studies on sunlight. A massive Swedish study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and found that those who actively sought sun exposure had dramatically lower death rates from cancer, heart disease, and all causes. The shocking part? Sun avoiders had roughly double the overall mortality. Even heavy smokers who got plenty of sun had similar death rates to non-smokers who avoided it. Sunlight appears to extend life through vitamin D, nitric oxide, and immune support - yet we're still told to hide from it. Are you getting enough sun? — Dr. Roger Seheult (@RogerSeheult) on Steven Bartlett’s (@StevenBartlett) DOAC podcast
On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
If you haven’t read Bugninni’s own enormous volume on the changes he made, and why, and his diary of what happened, don’t tell me that the NO was inspired by God.

A perfect meditation for Holy Week, especially when so many of us are tempted to comment on every crisis, every issue. For that was not Our Lady's approach: The Virtue of Silence - Pax Orbis
The beautiful meditation is from Divine Intimacy1 explains some aspects of Our Lady’s role as Co-Redemptrix, particularly Her silence and humility, as well as Her deep love for souls. These virtues provide a blueprint for those consecrated to Our Lady and are a poignant theme for contemplation during Holy Week. The meditation also expresses a fundamental principle of apostolic work, particularly of pro-life work: the prioritising of prayer over activity. Presence of God O Mary, Queen of Apostles, obtain for me the heart of an Apostle. Meditation 1. Mary is, at the same time, the model of both contemplative and apostolic souls. Furthermore, by combining in herself the highest contemplative life with the highest apostolic life, she teaches us that contemplation and the apostolate, far from being opposed to other, complement, support, and maintain each other. When the contemplative life – considered as an assiduous seeking after union with God-is really fervent, it cannot fail to enkindle …
