U.S. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has downplayed reports of growing tensions between the Vatican and the U.S. administration of Donald Trump. In an interview with IlGiornale.it on April 11, he stated that “the narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated”. Leo XIV “has invited everyone to work for peace, as he rightly should.” Regarding the attacks and bombings of Iran, Cardinal Burke thinks: “One may have differing views on how to address the problem, but one certainly cannot think that the situation in Iran was good prior to the attacks by the United States and Israel. I believe that, in his view, Trump also has peace as his goal - meaning he seeks to restore internal peace in Iran and in its relations with other nations. This is because the regime represents a nuclear threat to both its neighbors and others.” He also added that he prays “for the freedom of the Iranian people, who have suffered for too many years at the hands of the ayatollahs’ regime.” Cardinal Burke continued: “…ਹੋਰ

The Risen Christ Confronts Every Honest Doubt The First Reading discusses Jesus’s descent into the netherworld, where he preached to the souls of the just from the Old Testament, allowing them to make an explicit act of faith in Him. The Gospel reading recounts Jesus’s appearance to his apostles after the resurrection, highlighting the tragedy of those who doubted His divinity despite witnessing His miracles and hearing His teachings. Fr. Altier emphasizes the absolute truth of Jesus’s divinity and the importance of making a firm commitment to Him, urging those with doubts to seek answers and resolve them. Fr.

04/11/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Mr. Trump, credibility isn’t a PR product. You can’t claim it, and you can’t force it. You can only squander it. And that’s precisely what has been happening in the US. The lie wasn’t told once, not twice, but repeatedly, the same pattern, with different content in Vietnam, Iraq I, Iraq II, and now in Iran. And anyone who keeps telling the same story shouldn’t be surprised when eventually no one believes it anymore. And I thought you were actually a peace president, Mr. Trump. Excuse my gullibility. With these words, Uwe Froschauer—a German expert in business psychology—addresses the U.S. president in an article published on Wednesday: Who is going to believe anything you or the USA say anymore, Mr. Trump?Source. I probably don’t need to convince anyone that Donald Trump’s remarks fall far below the level of a market vendor—without wishing to offend this perfectly respectable segment of the population. If he truly believes what he says …

In 2017, he led a social media initiative in the Philippines called the Lazarus Project, to call for homosexual acceptance in churches. In 2019, he called on Catholic youth to stop discriminating against homosexual people. Furthermore, Cardinal Tagle believes that there is no all-encompassing answer to adultery: “Every situation for those who are divorced and remarried is quite unique. To have a general rule might be counterproductive in the end.” Cristóbal López Romero, 72, of Rabat, Morocco Spanish born …ਹੋਰ

Divine Mercy Chaplet Join us in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet led by Maria Vargo, who plays Saint Faustina in our upcoming movie, Heart of Mercy. Prayed on ordinary rosary beads, The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy is an intercessory prayer that extends the offering of the Eucharist, so it is especially appropriate to use it after having received Holy Communion at Holy Mass. It may be said at any time though is typically prayed at 3 PM, the Hour of Great Mercy. Our Lord specifically told St. Faustina to recite it during the nine days before the Feast of Mercy (the first Sunday after Easter). He then added: "By this Novena, [of Chaplets] I will grant every possible grace to souls." saintlukeproductions

In a quiet little town, there lived an old sage. His small home was filled with warmth—the soft glow of a lamp and the comforting scent of old books and paper. People came to him for guidance, and somehow, he always found the words that could ease a troubled heart. But he had a neighbor who couldn’t stand it. “Why him?” the man would complain. “His windows stay lit late into the night, all he does is write in those notebooks of his—and yet people respect him more than me, even though I have ten times the wealth!” One evening, envy finally got the better of him. Blinded by it, he placed a basket of rotting garbage right outside the sage’s door. The next morning, the old man opened the door, saw the mess—and didn’t get angry. Instead, he quietly emptied the trash, washed the basket until it was spotless, and filled it with the finest, ripest apples from his garden. Then he carried it over to his neighbor’s house. The neighbor, expecting a confrontation, froze in confusion. “Why would …ਹੋਰ
The historic visit of JD Vance to Hungary (including to the Mathias Corvinus Collegium!) confirmed that hypocrisy is the native language of progressive elites. While the electoral campaign in Hungary has been an obscene and unprecedented festival of interference, the Euro-establishment chokes with indignation when the American Vice President comes to remind them that this election belongs to the Hungarians and to no one else. One must possess a truly steel-forged cynicism of the “anywhere” variety to express outrage when, after a month of campaigning, the only question the “somewhere” crowd is asking is whether they can still take part in free and fair elections in Europe. After the scandalous precedents of electoral interference in Georgia, Poland, and Romania, we had been warned. And yet, once again, the autocratic impulse of Brussels and Co. has descended upon Hungary with the premium zeal reserved for its nemesis: Viktor Orbán, whose scalp they want, dead or alive. To achieve …
Leo XIV received Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda, S.J., Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and Grand Master Fra’ John Timothy Dunlap on April 10 to address ongoing issues related to the Order’s constitutional reform. According to CatholicHerald.com, the meeting focused on the Order’s revised Constitutional Charter, drafted under Ghirlanda’s supervision. The reform remains controversial as it reshapes the balance between the Order’s sovereignty and Vatican oversight. Leo XIV first met both men together before holding separate discussions. Previous reports had suggested that Cardinal Ghirlanda - appointed by Pope Francis in June 2023 with broad reform powers - could be replaced, possibly by Cardinal Arthur Roche or Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Nico Spuntoni wrote that the audience aimed to review specific constitutional articles and update related regulations. He added that a leadership change may become likely once Ghirlanda’s mandate ends. The Order remains unique as both a …ਹੋਰ
April 12-St. Giuseppe Moscati - Doctor to the Poor. Uploaded by OnlineCatholicStore on Feb 16, 2011 Purchase this movie at onlinecatholicstore.com/Moscati.html Not often is someone with a professional degree from a modern secular university declared a saint. Moreover, it is positively earth shattering when an internationally acclaimed scientist becomes a certified miracle worker. The life of St. Giuseppe Moscati illustrates how the Catholic faith and practical charity united a layman with God to such an extent that the power of God ultimately worked in and through him. As Dr. Moscati wrote to a colleague, "Only one science is unshakeable and unshaken, the one revealed by God, the science of the hereafter! In all your works, look to Heaven, to the eternity of life and of the soul, and orient yourself then much differently from the way that merely human considerations might suggest, and your activity will be inspired for the good."

Samedi in Albis – Station à Saint-Jean de Latran – Vous tous qui avez été baptisés dans le Christ, vous avez revêtu le Christ. Au sortir de la fontaine, les néophytes avaient reçu un vêtement blanc, symbole des effets du baptême dans leur âme : ‘Vous tous qui avez été baptisés, vous vous êtes revêtus de Jésus-Christ’ (Com.). Ils le conservaient jusqu’à ce jour qui porte le nom de « Samedi où l’on dépose les vêtements blancs », parce que, réunis à S. Jean de Latran, on leur retirait alors leur robe baptismale. L’Église en voyant rassemblés autour d’elle « ces enfants nouveau-nés » (Ép.) leur demande par la bouche de S. Pierre, son chef, de boire toujours le lait spirituel et pur de la vraie doctrine. Et dans cette basilique, dédiée au S. Sauveur, elle leur rappelle que leurs âmes sont les pierres vivantes d’un édifice spirituel dont le Christ est la pierre d’angle. L’Évangile montre aussi le Prince des Apôtres qui, avant S. Jean, constate la Résurrection de Jésus, …
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20,19-31. On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, «Peace be with you.» When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained." Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with …ਹੋਰ
