Vatican Clergy Residence Becomes Four Star Hotel: Leo XIV has approved the conversion of the Domus Internationalis Paulus VI in Rome from a residence for clergy into a four-star hotel. This is confirmed for the first time in the 2025 APSA financial report. Retired cardinals, bishops, former nuncios, and other clergy living in the residence wrote to Leo XIV, asking that the project be halted. But the plan is moving forward and is now in its final stages. The building dates back to the 15th century and became famous in 2013 when, shortly after his election, Pope Francis returned to pay his hotel bill personally. The Vatican expects to receive approximately €5 million per year in rent from the property.
«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 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? Ex-Military Reacts to Outrageous Claims #shorts Why is trump throwing away our money on his useless projects? Only for them to turn out a lot worse than before?

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 …ఇంకా
Holiness Requires Love Amid Great Suffering St. Paul’s gospel centers on Jesus Christ’s resurrection and descent from David, fulfilling Old Testament promises. Persecution for living piously in Christ is inevitable, as the world hates the Lord. The true challenge lies in accepting persecution with charity and love, as Jesus did, rather than focusing on the injustice of others’ actions. Fr.

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.

Leo XIV Takes Time for Punk Grandma: Pope Leo XIV received on Friday punk icon Patti Smith in a private audience at the Vatican. The Chicago-born singer shares the Pope's hometown and has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Holy See. In May, she inaugurated the Holy See Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and she previously performed for Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2014.
This morning the Pope received Patti Smith in the Vatican, originally from Chicago, like him. Last May she had inaugurated the Holy See Pavilion at the Biennale, while in 2014 she had sung for Pope Francis in the Vatican
1) Revelation 12:17; “Those who keep God’s commandments and hold fast to the Testimony of Jesus. 2) Revelation 2:8-11; To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: This is what the First and the Last, who was dead and came to life, says. I know your tribulation and your poverty—though you are rich—and the slander of those who call themselves Jews but are not, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer: the Devil will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will face tribulation for ten days.

In diesen Zeiten des Glaubensabfalls und der Verwirrung in der Kirche: Welche ist die WAHRE Kirche Jesu? 1) Offenbarung 12,17: „Diejenigen, die Gottes Gebote halten und am Zeugnis Jesu festhalten.“ 2) Offenbarung 2,8–11: Schreibe an den Engel der Gemeinde in Smyrna: Das sagt der Erste und der Letzte, der tot war und wieder lebendig wurde: Ich kenne deine Bedrängnis und deine Armut – obwohl du reich bist – und die Verleumdung derer, die sich Juden nennen, es aber nicht sind, sondern in Wahrheit eine Synagoge des Satans sind. Fürchte dich nicht vor dem, was du leiden wirst: Der Teufel wird einige von euch ins Gefängnis werfen, um euch zu prüfen, und ihr werdet zehn Tage lang Bedrängnis erleiden. Bleibt treu bis in den Tod, und ich werde euch die Krone des Lebens geben.

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.
Depuis plusieurs semaines, l'église Saint-Eustache de Paris accueille dans sa nef Le Souffle, une sculpture monumentale de 7 mètres de haut réalisée en aluminium découpé au laser par l'artiste contemporaine Lydie Arickx. 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
Spain’s illegal migrant surge into Ceuta shows how quickly a nation’s border can be overrun. The Church has always taught that a country has the right and duty to defend its territorial integrity for the common good. Fr. Dominic Prümmer, O.P., in his classic Manuale Theologiae Moralis (1923), states: “The right of a sovereign state to regulate the entry and settlement of foreigners is derived from its obligation to promote the common good of its people. It would be contrary to justice and prudence to allow unrestricted immigration when such would lead to disorder or harm to the established community.”
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

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.
