Bistro on Roof of St. Peter's Basilica Ready to Open: A bistro on the roof of St. Peter's Basilica is ready to open, according to IlMessaggero.it. The new dining area, located beneath the basilica's dome, could open as early as September. The Vatican has maintained that the project is an expansion of the existing snack bar, where visitors can buy coffee, drinks and light snacks. Il Messaggero, however, reports that the completed facility includes a fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated bistro area opposite the current snack bar.
Più che bucatini all'amatriciana, penne pomodoro e... basilica. Con vista, piuttosto ampia, sulle polemiche. Torna a far discutere la decisione del Vaticano di aprire un punto di ristorazione sul tetto di San Pietro, il celeberrimo Cupolone, luogo simbolo non solo della città eterna ma anche della cristianità mondiale. ...E invece ad alzare la serranda, in alcuni dei locali che un tempo servivano per il ricovero dei materiali usati dagli addetti alla cura della basilica, dovrebbe invece essere un vero e proprio bistrot, destinato a essere paradiso di quei palati pronti a peccare di gola. L'occasione... golosa - Sfumata l'occasione di inaugurarlo durante il Giubileo, resterebbe quella dei 400 anni dall'apertura di San Pietro, datata novembre 1626. Un'occasione piuttosto golosa per sfoggiare il nuovo locale, che sempre in base alle informazioni raccolte dovrebbe sfruttare al meglio anche il grande terrazzamento in grado di offrire una spettacolare visuale su tutta Roma. Il tutto tra …Okuninzi

27K views · 1.2K reactions | Beet kraut is an excellent first ferment to make at home. Beetroot brings natural sweetness and earthy flavour, and cabbage is a classic starting point for fermentation. To make it, finely shred cabbage and grate or julienne raw beetroot. Weigh everything, then add 2% salt by weight (20g of salt for every 1kg of vegetables). Massage the vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes until they release plenty of liquid. Pack them tightly into a clean jar, pressing firmly to remove air pockets and ensuring the vegetables stay completely submerged beneath their own brine. If needed, use a fermentation weight or a small clean jar to keep them below the surface. Leave it to ferment at room temperature for around 7 to 14 days, depending on how warm your kitchen is and how tangy you like it. Once you’re happy with the flavour, move it to the fridge, where it will continue to develop slowly over the following weeks. By the end, you’ll have a colourful kraut that’s delicious alongside …Okuninzi
Mother Miriam has done a complete 180 on the SSPX: "God has established His Church, his universe, everything on obedience, everything on obedience. Children are to obey their parents, not if their parents are holy and right, in everything but sin. Wives are to submit to their husbands, not because they're holy, not because they're right, but because God has given them that position — again, in everything but sin. Religious are to obey their superiors, whether their superior is right or holier than them, or no matter what it is, they are to obey in everything. And Christ's sheep, which is us, every one of us is to obey the successor of Peter, whether we know for sure he is, whether we agree with him, whether we can point out definite heresy. If he's the Pope, then we obey in everything but sin. We don't come against him. So that's where I left it yesterday, and my heart was completely converted."
Russian Tourists Face Deportation After Reading Bible at Hagia Sophia: Russian tourists Igor and Viktoria Filonov were detained in Istanbul after reading a passage from the Bible while visiting the upper gallery of Hagia Sophia. The couple was transferred to a migrant detention center. Turkish authorities investigate the "case" under a law related to "incitement to hatred".
Weil sie in der Hagia Sophia aus der Bibel lasen, landete ein Paar im Internierungslager. Und die Türkei ist ganz sicher noch eines der „fortschrittlicheren“ muslimischen Länder. Das also als kleiner Vorgeschmack, was uns in einem islamisierten Westeuropa drohen wird.
das ist der Islam, kein Zugeständnis für Christen auch nicht das Kleinstes, aber Forderungen von Moscheen, Straßengebete und vieles mehr, in ihren Gastgeberländern.
Women-Led Liturgy of the Word with Bread and Grapes: During a Liturgy of the Word at the chapel on Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, two female pastoral assistants blessed a candle dedicated to the “female apostle” Mary Magdalene - alongside the chapel's traditional twelve apostle candles. A symbolic ritual in which bread and grapes were shared also took place. Participants held the bread and fruit reverently in their hands, almost as though they were sacred elements. The pictures were published by the Archdiocese of Munich.
Am vergangenen Wochenende wurde in der Zugspitzkapelle auf Deutschlands höchstem Berg eine Maria-Magdalena-Kerze gesegnet und ein neuer „Apostelin-Leuchter“ eingeführt. Die Feier fand als Wort-Gottes-Feier von Pastoralassistentinnen statt. Erzbistum München und Freising
Leo XIV May Replace Cardinal Parolin as Secretary of State: The Substack.com account The Pillar speculates that Leo XIV could replace Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 71, as Secretary of State as early as this summer. Citing anonymous Vatican sources, it says Leo XIV has concerns about Parolin's effectiveness in coordinating Vatican departments. The article identifies Archbishop Paul Gallagher, 72, and Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, 66, as the leading candidates.
At the largest and most influential of these, the Secretariat of State, Pope Leo XIV could replace Cardinal Pietro Parolin as Secretary of State as early as this summer, according to several diplomatic and Vatican sources who spoke to The Pillar... ...The question of who might succeed Gambetti at Saint Peter’s is more complicated. Vatican sources told The Pillar that Parolin himself might be appointed to the position. However, other senior sources told The Pillar that the pope intended to move Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, current archpriest of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major to the position, while other rumors point to the appointment of Archbishop Diego Ravelli, Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations...
Pagan Deity Projections on Church Façade. Worse than Germany: In Leffe, Bergamo, Italy, projections of Greek mythological deities were displayed on the façade of the Church of San Michele as part of a local summer festival themed around the "Heroes and Gods of Olympus." The projections began on 16 July and were scheduled to continue through 19 July 2026. The initiative was authorized by the parish priest, Don Giuseppe Merlini.

According to Congressmen Don Beyer and Brad Schneider, the bill would raise costs for American families and damage America’s “most vital trade relationships.”
Humpback Whale Crucified among Priests, Altar Servers and an Altar: The blasphemous play Timmy: Hope Dies Last, which premiered on 11 July at the Ernst Deutsch Theater in Hamburg, Germany, portrays the stranded humpback whale Timmy as a Christ-like figure. Directed by Alexander Klessinger, the production features a 'Mass for Timmy', a crucifixion. The production was inspired by Timmy, whose stranding in the Baltic Sea this spring prompted a nationwide rescue effort. The whale was found dead off the coast of Denmark approximately two weeks after being freed. The operation reportedly cost around €2 million.
Es macht traurig und entsetzt zugleich, mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit das Heilige für Millionen von Christen verspottet wird. Jesus Christus – er, der die Liebe, die Vergebung und die Hoffnung ist – wird erneut zum Gegenstand von Provokation und Lächerlichmachung gemacht. Wo bleibt der viel beschworene Respekt vor Religionen, wenn es um den christlichen Glauben geht? Von Toleranz und Rücksicht wird gesprochen – doch immer wieder scheint das Christentum ein einfaches Ziel für Angriffe zu sein. Andere Religionen werden häufig mit größerer Vorsicht behandelt, während der Name Jesu öffentlich verspottet wird. Doch wir wissen als Christen: Das Wort war schon immer ein Dorn im Auge der Widersacher. „Denn es kommt die Zeit, da sie die gesunde Lehre nicht ertragen werden; sondern nach ihren eigenen Begierden werden sie sich selbst Lehrer aufladen, nach denen ihnen die Ohren jucken.“ (2. Timotheus 4,3) Jesus selbst sagte: „Wenn die Welt euch hasst, so wisst, dass sie mich vor euch gehasst hat.“ …Okuninzi
The new homosex club ‘Divine Playhouse’ in Sydney has temporarily closed after its landlord ordered it to "cease carrying on offensive trade", reports Abc.net.au on July 15. The venue opened on 8 July in a former Catholic church. Deconsecrated in 1932, the building has operated as a theatre and performance space for decades. The club's closure followed protests by around 70 Catholics who gathered outside the venue to pray the rosary and object to the mockery of Christian beliefs. Performances included transvestites dressed as nuns, alcohol labelled as 'unholy water', and parodies of the Eucharist. Following the demonstrations, the venue's landlord issued a breach notice. As a result, the operators have cancelled all upcoming events while considering legal action. #newsMyokhnosao
I believe that any building the Church has used for Mass, if the Church wants to sell it, the edifice should be destroyed so no unholy actions ever happen there.
