Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit priest Joseph Samedi, 54, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Bangui. The appointment places Fr Samedi alongside Cardinal Dieudonné Nzapalainga, 59, who is only five years his senior. Background to the Appointment Cardinal Nzapalainga has led the Archdiocese of Bangui since 2012 and was made cardinal by Pope Francis in 2016. He rose to international prominence for his interfaith work during the Central African Republic’s civil conflict, particularly through the 'Plateforme des Confessions Religieuses de Centrafrique', a coalition of Christian and Muslim leaders promoting reconciliation. In recent years, however, local and regional reporting has pointed to growing tensions between the Archdiocese of Bangui and the Nunciature in the Central African Republic. The most sweeping allegations have come from journalist Jean-Paul Naïba, who accuses the cardinal of greed, financial misconduct, nepotism, and misuse of church-affiliated NGOs. Regional outlets including …තව
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz. He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence. “This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.” And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …තව
Day of the Most Holy Miracle of Santarém In the year 1247, a poor woman lived in Santarém whose husband greatly offended her, going astray with another woman. Tired of suffering, she went to ask a Jewish witch to end her misfortune with her spells. The witch promised her an effective remedy, but for that she needed a Consecrated Host. After much hesitation, the poor woman consented to the sacrilege. She went to the Church of Santo Estêvão, confessed, and asked for Communion. Once she had received the Sacred Particle, she carefully removed it from her mouth and wrapped it in her veil. She quickly left the church and headed for the witch’s house. However, without her noticing, blood began to drip from the veil. Several people saw it and asked the unfortunate woman what wounds she had that were bleeding so much. Extremely confused, she ran home and locked the Miraculous Host inside one of her chests. Later that day, in the afternoon, her husband returned. Deep in the night, both woke up …තව
Win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases: Kenya’s Court of Appeal on Friday ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right, overturning a 2022 High Court decision that had expanded access. The judges found now that abortion violates the child's right to life.

True, He doesn’t hear those who destroy for the sake of destruction, He never heard the ayatollahs for 46 years waging war against their own people and anyone else, but that is not what the false prophet is implying, no... Leo loves to use the truth for his lie and both becomes a beautiful lie, subtle, powerful and destructive... God hears those who wage war against His enemies. Who are His enemies? Those who use His Name or a resemblence of it to cover for their spiritual manipulation, rape, murders and the destruction of innocence... Nayib Bukele prayed and wage war against the enemy of El Salvador and with God on his side he won, Bukele saved his country..how? By bending his knees. I can tell you one thing for sure... HOPE... The people of Venezuela hopes, the people of Cuba hopes and the majority of Iranians too... I HOPE this ends well for their sake and of America, as the USA has always been brave in favor of the weak who hopes. All our powerful allies ARE socialists (a beautiful …තව
Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.
Pope Leo sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. In the message, he stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.”
They have been influenced for many years by Pachamama spirituality and liberation theology. As a result, they genuinely believe much of what they promote and speak about. The real issue is that they should never have been allowed anywhere near the Vatican, let alone placed in positions of authority at its very center. Therefore, cardinals and bishops—who *should* know better—are an even greater concern. Lukewarm Catholics are problematic. Lukewarm clergy are even worse. Shame on them.
Chris Jackson rightly wrote (Hiraeth in exile): So what are we supposed to believe? That the Church “long considered” an attack on human dignity to be morally acceptable? That Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors, the Roman Catechism, and centuries of Catholic rulers all endorsed something intrinsically contrary to the dignity of man until Francis, of all people, corrected the moral theology of Christendom?
[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] Revelation 4 ~ The fourth revelation in the Book of Questions, in which Christ beautifully praises every limb of the Virgin Mary his Mother, giving them a spiritual and allegorical meaning by comparing them to virtues; he also declares the Virgin to be most worthy of a queenly crown. The Son speaks: ”I am crowned king in my divinity without beginning and without end. A crown has neither beginning nor end; thus it is a symbol of my power, which had no beginning and will have no end. I had another crown, too, in my keeping: I myself, God, am that crown. It was prepared for the person who had the greatest love for me. And you, my most sweet Mother, won this crown and drew it to yourself through righteousness and love. The angels and other saints bear witness that your love for me was more ardent and your chastity more pure than that of any other, and that …තව

"Second question. ”How does your divinity encompass all things in itself yet is encompassed by none, and contains all things yet is contained by none?” Answer to the second question. ”As to how my divinity can encompass all things in itself, I answer: I, God, am spirit. I speak, and it is done. I command, and all obey me. I am truly he who gives being and life to all, who, before making the sky and the mountains and the earth, exist in myself, who am above and beyond all things, who am within all things, and all things are in me, and without me there is nothing. And since my Spirit blows where and when it will, and can do all things, and knows all things, and is swifter and more agile than all other spirits, possessing every power and seeing beforehand all things present, past, and future, accordingly, my Spirit, that is my divinity, is rightly incomprehensible, yet comprehends all things.”
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 7:08 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A mother in Austria has been fined for temporarily keeping her 10-year-old son out of school during a sexual education class. Michaela Vamos-Karandish was fined 110 euros ($128) for keeping her young son out of school for four days in March 2025 after an external sex education workshop was to take place. The workshop’s content had not been disclosed to parents beforehand. In addition, numerous sex education books – the content of which some parents found questionable – were made available in the classroom for unsupervised use by students. According to a report by ADF International, the materials included books such as Lina, the Explorer and My First Sex Education Book, which contain explicit depictions of sexual practices. Some of the books also depicted modern views on gender and family, incompatible with nature and traditional teaching. The mother argued that these violated the principle of neutrality in public schools. In a book …

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 16,15-20. Jesus said to the eleven: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Markus 16,15-20. In jener Zeit erschien Jesus den Elf und sprach zu ihnen: Geht hinaus in die ganze Welt und verkündet das Evangelium der ganzen Schöpfung! Wer glaubt und sich taufen lässt, wird gerettet; wer aber nicht glaubt, wird verurteilt werden. Und durch die, die zum Glauben gekommen sind, werden folgende Zeichen geschehen: In meinem Namen werden sie Dämonen austreiben; sie werden in neuen Sprachen reden; wenn sie Schlangen anfassen oder tödliches Gift trinken, wird es ihnen nicht schaden; und die Kranken, denen sie die Hände auflegen, werden gesund werden. Nachdem Jesus, der Herr, dies zu ihnen gesagt hatte, wurde er in den Himmel aufgenommen und setzte sich zur Rechten Gottes. Sie aber zogen aus und verkündeten überall. Der Herr stand ihnen bei und bekräftigte das Wort durch die Zeichen, die es begleiteten. angelyelina

Doctor Reveals Surprising Health Benefits of Attending Mass Regularly: Did you know attending Mass regularly has incredible health benefits? This doctor explains!
As I said at the beginning, and as we have just seen, it is certain that a Pope was elected on 26 October 1958, and that this Pope accepted and took a name, with the white smoke coming only afterwards. Whether the elected Pope was Cardinal Siri or someone else is of little importance: the important thing is that there was a Pope! This obviously has consequences. First of all, we must examine what may have happened inside the conclave, which is unknown to us, but we can presume it with almost certainty.
