Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Vatican’s Secretary for Relations with States, praised the (failed) Vatican-China agreement in remarks to journalists: “We are happy that all the bishops of China are now in communion with the Pope, which is certainly an improvement on the situation before the agreement was made.” He dismissed the agreement’s total failure – including the fact that the papal mandate is not even read at episcopal consecrations – as mere “imperfections”. The Vatican remains committed "to persevere in dialogue" with China’s ruling elites. Archbishop Gallagher also appeared to blame the underground Church – which is suffering under the 2018 deal and already building its own episcopal hierarchy, not in communion with the Pope. The agreement “was never going to be accepted by certain people, given certain people’s view of the history of China and the government of mainland China today.”
Cardinal Joseph William Tobin of Newark will undergo surgery tomorrow to remove a kidney mass. The Archdiocese reports that tests suggest the mass is confined to the kidney, and doctors are optimistic. Examination after surgery will determine whether it is cancerous and if further treatment is needed. Cardinal Tobin hopes to resume his duties within weeks.

We all have a right to block whomever we wish. That's what the block button is for. When there are such haters and liars like you and your other buddies who come along and abuse your right to comment by attacking us, name calling, encouraging others to attack us and hate us. To post propaganda which NONE of you can prove yet. Who were warned for months to stop the hatred and leis and accusations. When you refuse to listen. I have all the right in the world to block you and anyone else who tries to harm my soul and those of others. It's also your right to block us. But do you? Of course not. you don't to seek attention. To cry and whine about us destroying your propaganda. Puppets for the globalists. That's what you are. How many times have I told you. either block me or deal with it as you should? Too many times! You always refuse. So once again you attack and accuse and then the name calling and more attention thinking someone will pity you. I want no pity. I don't need any pity. I do …зиёдтар
Biskup Athanasius Schneider obviňuje vatikánskych úradníkov zo spolupráce s európskymi politickými elitami pri presadzovaní masovej imigrácie a z prispievania k dechristianizácii Európy. V rozhovore pre The Remnant z 25. októbra Schneider povedal: „Mám podozrenie [...], že zodpovední vo Vatikáne, žiaľ, jednoducho spolupracujú s [...] európskymi politickými elitami.“ Tvrdí, že politici hľadajú duchovnú podporu Vatikánu pre svoju imigračnú politiku: „Mnohí zodpovední ľudia vo Vatikáne sa nechávajú oklamať alebo čiastočne súhlasia s procesom dechristianizácie Európy.“ Jeho záver: „Nakoniec, bohužiaľ, Svätá stolica tento proces podporuje,“ čo, ako varuje, vážne poškodí kresťanskú prítomnosť v Európe.
O bispo Athanasius Schneider acusa os responsáveis do Vaticano de colaborarem com as elites políticas europeias na promoção da imigração em massa e de contribuírem para a descristianização da Europa. Numa entrevista concedida ao The Remnant a 25 de outubro, Schneider afirmou: «Suspeito [...] que, infelizmente, os responsáveis no Vaticano estejam simplesmente a colaborar com [...] as elites políticas europeias.» Argumenta que os políticos procuram o apoio espiritual do Vaticano para as suas políticas de imigração: «Muitos responsáveis no Vaticano estão a deixar-se enganar ou a concordar, em parte, com o processo de descristianização da Europa.» A sua conclusão: «Em última análise, infelizmente, a Santa Sé está a apoiar este processo», o que, segundo ele, prejudicará gravemente a presença cristã na Europa.

Leo XIV: “There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy!” In a video message marking 40 years since the historic interreligious gathering in Assisi, convened by St. John Paul II, the pope condemns the growing acceptance of war and calls for dialogue and peace
"This peace is attained neither through the bonds of the most intimate friendship nor through a deep similarity of spirit, if all of it is not grounded in a total communion of our will with the will of God. A friendship founded upon sinful desires, upon pacts springing from injustice, and upon agreements arising from vice has nothing to do with the attainment of this peace." — (SAINT LEO THE GREAT, Sermon 95, on the Beatitudes) WATCH: Latin Mass pilgrimage physically prevented from visiting St. Peter’s Basilica - LifeSite
Without Christ, There Is No Peace: The True Path to Peace Lies in Restoring His Reign "The true and only peace of souls in this world consists in being filled with the love of God and animated by the hope of heaven, to the point of considering the successes or reverses of this world as of little account [...]. He is mistaken who imagines that he will be able to find peace in the enjoyment of the goods of this world and in riches. The frequent disturbances here below and the end of this world should convince such a man that he has built the foundations of his peace upon sand." — (BEDE THE VENERABLE, Homily 12 for the Vigil of Pentecost) Pope Pius XI, Encyclical "Quas Primas": “Then gradually the religion of Christ came to be likened to false religions and to be placed ignominiously on the same level with them.” “The Antichrist presents himself as a “pacifist, ecologist, and ecumenist.” “The Antichrist will succeed in influencing and persuading almost everyone.”
Woman Distributes Communion at Leo XIV’s Eucharist — One Communicant Bare-Chested During the Eucharist celebrated by Leo XIV this evening at the Port of Rimini, a woman was spreading Communion in the hand as if it were cookies. One male attendee even received Communion bare-chested, without a shirt.
Not a Good Look Seriously. Leo found time to meet with the Chinese Communists who picked their own bishops. He met with James Martin. He met with decorators for the apostolic palace. But couldn’t find time to meet with the SSPX. That is a fact JCS 77 (@musicthinker13) on X

Alvarado zvažuje reorganizáciu vatikánskeho mediálneho aparátu: „Ľudia na nesprávnych pozíciách“. Ešte pred nástupom do funkcie naznačila budúca prefektka vatikánskej komunikácie Montserrat Alvarado v rozhovore pre EWTN z 23. októbra možnú reorganizáciu rozsiahleho mediálneho aparátu Vatikánu. Prirovnávajúc vatikánske médiá k futbalovému tímu vyhlásila: „Máte všetkých hráčov [naozaj?], ale sú na nesprávnych pozíciách.“ „Možno teda niečo preskupíme, alebo možno objavíme niečo iné,“ dodala a zasadzovala sa za multiplatformovú žurnalistiku a väčšie využívanie analýzy publika. Jej poznámky by mohli byť nepríjemným počúvaním pre establishment, ktorý je už dlho kritizovaný za nákladné personálne obsadenie, byrokratickú neefektívnosť a obmedzený dosah.
Alvarado prevê uma reestruturação do sistema de comunicação social do Vaticano: «Pessoas nas posições erradas». Ainda antes de assumir o cargo, a futura prefeita da Comunicação do Vaticano, Montserrat Alvarado, deu a entender que poderá haver uma reorganização do vasto aparelho mediático do Vaticano, numa entrevista concedida à EWTN a 23 de outubro. Comparando os meios de comunicação do Vaticano a uma equipa de futebol, declarou: «Tem-se todos os jogadores [a sério?], mas estão nas posições erradas.» «Por isso, talvez mudemos as coisas de lugar, ou talvez descubramos algo diferente», acrescentou, defendendo o jornalismo multiplataforma e uma maior utilização da análise de audiências. As suas observações podem resultar desconfortáveis para uma instituição há muito criticada pelo seu quadro de pessoal dispendioso, pela ineficiência burocrática e pelo alcance limitado.

AUFWACHKANAL deine rote Pille Baerbock in Schweden bloßgestellt – Heuchelei ihrer Gaza-Politik Die ehemalige deutsche Außenministerin und Grünen-Politikerin Annalena Baerbock wurde während einer Vorlesung an der Universität Uppsala mehrfach von Aktivisten unterbrochen. „Wessen Demokratie verteidigen Sie? Nur die der Israelis?“, riefen Demonstranten und konfrontierten Baerbock mit ihrer politischen Vergangenheit. Annalena Baerbock hat während ihrer Amtszeit Israels Kriegsführung in Gaza politisch gedeckt und deutsche Waffenlieferungen trotz des massiven Leids der palästinensischen Bevölkerung mitgetragen. Während Baerbock international für Menschenrechte und Demokratie predigt, wird sie nun auch außerhalb Deutschlands mit dem Vorwurf der Heuchelei konfrontiert.

United Methodist preacher Zack Reedy offers a novel 'queersegesis' of the story of Lazarus, saying the 'stone' being rolled away at his tomb represents homophobia, transphobia, and "the workplace where somebody changes my 'husband' to my 'friend', it's the dad that says "not in my house.'"
