Tempat Tinggal Para Pendeta Vatikan Diubah Menjadi Hotel Bintang Empat: Leo XIV telah menyetujui perubahan fungsi Domus Internationalis Paulus VI di Roma dari tempat tinggal para pendeta menjadi hotel bintang empat. Hal ini dikonfirmasi untuk pertama kalinya dalam laporan keuangan APSA tahun 2025. Para kardinal pensiunan, uskup, mantan nunsius, dan para rohaniwan lain yang tinggal di tempat tinggal tersebut menulis surat kepada Leo XIV, meminta agar proyek tersebut dihentikan. Namun, rencana tersebut terus berlanjut dan kini telah memasuki tahap akhir. Bangunan tersebut berasal dari abad ke-15 dan menjadi terkenal pada tahun 2013 ketika, tak lama setelah terpilih, Paus Fransiskus kembali untuk membayar tagihan hotelnya secara pribadi. Vatikan memperkirakan akan menerima sekitar €5 juta per tahun sebagai pendapatan sewa dari properti tersebut.
«Con il Santo Padre Francesco era stato deciso che non si poteva certamente fare un hotel a cinque stelle, per motivi di credibilità e d'immagine; alla fine sarà soltanto un quattro stelle». Un'affermazione che aveva provocato non poco imbarazzo...
The Vatican's restrictions on the Latin Mass "isn't realistic" because young Catholics' growing attraction to the Church's liturgical tradition is "unstoppable", said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco speaking with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN. “It's what's drawing young people in and will continue to do so." According to Monsignor Cordileone, the popularity of the Mass among younger generations makes Traditionis Custodes difficult to sustain: "To be honest, I don't think it's realistic". And: "We look at the younger generation. They all love the tradition." "They love the more classical way that the Church worships, the traditional Mass," he continued. Archbishop Cordileone challenged recent comments by Cardinal Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, who said Leo XIV would not reverse Traditionis Custodes. "I don't know how well he knows the mind of the Holy Father. But I think one thing that's clear to everyone is the Holy Father wants to bring everyone …Lebih

The Diocese of Providence in Rhode Island is holding a series of “Listening Sessions” for homosexuals and their friends at four parishes. According to the diocesan website, Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, 59, is presiding at each gathering, which includes the celebration of the Eucharist, small-group sharing, and a community dinner. The diocesan announcement opens with Pope Francis' notorious words, “Todos, Todos, Todos” (“Everyone, Everyone, Everyone”). LepantoIn.org asked the diocese whether confession would be available and whether participants would be invited to repentance and conversion in accordance with Catholic teaching. Instead of answering those questions, the diocesan communications director replied only: “As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care.” Picture: LepantoIn.org, #newsVedmnhuvak
Pembatasan yang diberlakukan Vatikan terhadap Misa Latin “tidak realistis” karena ketertarikan kaum muda Katolik yang semakin besar terhadap tradisi liturgi Gereja “tak terhentikan”, kata Uskup Agung Salvatore Cordileone dari San Francisco saat berbincang dengan Raymond Arroyo di EWTN. “Itulah yang menarik minat kaum muda dan akan terus demikian.” Menurut Monsinyur Cordileone, popularitas Misa di kalangan generasi muda membuat Traditionis Custodes sulit dipertahankan: “Sejujurnya, saya rasa itu tidak realistis.” Dan: “Kita lihat generasi muda. Mereka semua menyukai tradisi.” “Mereka menyukai cara yang lebih klasik dalam beribadah di Gereja, yaitu Misa tradisional,” lanjutnya. Uskup Agung Cordileone menanggapi komentar terbaru Kardinal Arthur Roche, prefek Dicastery for Divine Worship, yang mengatakan bahwa Paus Leo XIV tidak akan membatalkan Traditionis Custodes. "Saya tidak tahu seberapa baik beliau memahami pikiran Bapa Suci. Namun, saya pikir satu hal yang jelas bagi semua orang …Lebih
Today, Pope Leo XIV issued a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State, replacing the 2023 constitution and codifying recent governance reforms in a 25-article text. The new law enshrines Francis' reforms in the constitution, notably allowing a non-cardinal — including a woman — to serve as President of the Vatican City State's Pontifical Commission and Governorship. Separation of Vatican City State and the Holy See The Pope remains constitutionally supreme. Article 1 states that he holds the full legislative, executive and judicial authority, meaning there is no separation of powers at the highest level. Article 2 explains that Vatican City State exists to guarantee the independence of the Holy See but is legally distinct from the Roman Curia and the institutions of the Holy See. Although this distinction has long existed in practice, it is now stated more explicitly. The clarification has implications for diplomacy, finances and legal responsibility. Woman President Constitutionally …Lebih

Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Israeli forces carried out demolitions across several West Bank communities, affecting homes, businesses, and farms. Near Anza, south of Jenin, owners of three buildings with 18 shops and two apartments were given 40 minutes to evacuate before demolition. Israel says the demolitions target unpermitted construction, while humanitarian groups say Palestinians in Area C are rarely granted building permits. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also announced more home demolitions, weapons confiscations, and work permit revocations. Palestinian officials say 341 demolition operations in the first half of 2026 destroyed about 740 structures and affected 923 Palestinians.

98-YEAR-OLD FINALLY CATHOLIC July 29, 2026 TUCSON — At 98, World War II veteran and retired Illinois cop Raymond “Ray” Martin Sr. has done what many never do: received Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation in one moving rite at the Villas of Marana, surrounded by family, caregivers, and fellow residents. After years of attending Mass and praying the rosary, Martin — visibly tearful, deeply grateful, and finally at peace — embraced the Catholic faith in a powerful reminder that it is never too late for grace.
Un veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial de 98 años recibe el bautismo A los 98 años, después de haber combatido en Okinawa y en Filipinas y de haber servido durante 27 años como policía en Illinois, Raymond Martin pidió ser bautizado. El 16 de julio recibió el bautismo, la confirmación y la primera comunión en el salón de la residencia asistida donde vive, en Tucson (Arizona), rodeado de otros residentes, cuidadores y familiares. Le llevó hasta allí el recuerdo de su esposa católica y la amistad con un diácono que también había sido policía. Martin, conocido como «Ray», nunca había recibido ningún sacramento. Su vínculo con la fe católica venía de su difunta esposa, Ann Marie, con la que acudía a Misa y rezaba el Rosario. hmtv
Environmental Propaganda in Paris Church. Worse than Germany: Since July 9, the nave of Saint-Eustache - one of Paris's largest historic churches - has housed Le Souffle, a 7-meter-tall laser-cut aluminum sculpture by contemporary artist Lydie Arickx. Suspended from the church's central vault, the work is presented as evoking deep-sea coral, the Tree of Life, and the human heart while promoting environmental awareness. The installation defaces the church through 29 September.

L'œuvre évoque le corail des profondeurs, l'Arbre de Vie et le cœur humain, tout en sensibilisant à la préservation des écosystèmes marins. (Source : Sortir à Paris)
Our Anglican "brethren" at Wells Cathedral (which was Catholic until the time of Henry VIII) have decided to stage an exhibition of "Mythical Creatures," based on a 17th-century book held in their library. Particularly striking is a fifteen-meter-long dragon—sporting rainbow colors—that soars above the few elderly congregants, baring its menacing claws at them. It serves as a true parable of what awaits us Catholics if we remain passive in the face of the brazen advance of the hierarchical "Pink Lobby." (It is astonishing to see the degree of confusion among some of the faithful—such as the person who wrote on a tag: "Dear dragon: always be kind and generous to entire human kind." As if we didn't know what the dragon symbolizes!) Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com
The argument that a volunteer military is expendable is deeply troubling. Millions of trained and willing individuals could confront an unprepared US force Iran has 2 million soldiers. Another 2 million will readily and willing to pick up an AK or something and go fight. You now have 4 million people. The very most we can muster between the Marines and Army merged would be 300,00 is his guess. And probably won't even be able to do that. Military Expendable?

When Wildfire Could Not Touch Christ | Shalom World News When a fierce wildfire swept through Gironde, France, it reduced forests to ashes, destroyed homes, and forced countless families to flee. Yet amid the blackened landscape, one image has touched hearts around the world—Jesus’ figure carved out of stone, titled "The Saved Savior,” standing untouched while the wooden cross on which he was hanging was completely consumed by the flames. Captured by photographer Patrick Bernard, the striking scene has become a powerful reminder of hope during devastation. While nature unleashed its fury, the image of Christ remained standing, silently proclaiming a truth that has comforted believers for centuries: even in humanity's darkest moments, God's presence endures. For many, this image of Jesus is more than a surviving monument. It is an invitation to trust that faith, hope, and the love of Christ can never be consumed by fire.
Als das Waldfeuer Christus nicht berühren konnte | Shalom World News Als ein verheerender Waldbrand durch die Gironde in Frankreich fegte, legte er Wälder in Schutt und Asche, zerstörte Häuser und zwang unzählige Familien zur Flucht. Doch inmitten der geschwärzten Landschaft berührte ein Bild die Herzen der Menschen weltweit: die aus Stein gehauene Jesusfigur mit dem Titel „Der erlöste Erlöser“, unversehrt, während das Holzkreuz, an dem er hing, vollständig von den Flammen verzehrt wurde. Die eindrucksvolle Szene, festgehalten vom Fotografen Patrick Bernard, ist zu einer kraftvollen Erinnerung an die Hoffnung in Zeiten der Verwüstung geworden. Während die Natur ihre Wut entfesselte, blieb das Bildnis Christi bestehen und verkündete stumm eine Wahrheit, die Gläubige seit Jahrhunderten tröstet: Selbst in den dunkelsten Stunden der Menschheit bleibt Gottes Gegenwart bestehen. Für viele ist dieses Bildnis Jesu mehr als nur ein erhaltenes Denkmal. Es ist eine Einladung, darauf zu vertrauen,…Lebih
