Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …Zêde
They should also apologize for raising their carbon footprint by flying there. Pope Leo is going to have to bless another huge ice cube to offset the damage.
Vatican: A Seat of Honour for Charles III, Excommunication for the Father of an Abused Child One year ago today, on 23 October 2025, King Charles III of the United Kingdom, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, received the honorary title of Royal Confrater at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, with the approval of Pope Leo XIV. A distinguished seat had been reserved for him, adorned with his coat of arms and the words of Christ: Ut unum sint — “That they may all be one.” The Holy See presented the appointment as a sign of fraternity between Catholics and Anglicans. Paradoxically, just one year later, Rome has upheld the excommunication of Scott Peyton, a permanent deacon of the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana. His canonical offence was joining an Anglican congregation after the Catholic priest Michael Guidry sexually abused his son Oliver. The juxtaposition is difficult to reconcile. While an Anglican monarch is welcomed as a brother in a papal basilica, a father …Zêde
24.10.2026 REUTERS INDICATES VATICAN COUNCIL II ( RATIONAL ) SUPPORTS THE PONTIFICUM SUMMORUM GROUPS Reuters-Thomson in Rome comes to the aid of ‘the rad-trads’. Big turnaround. Bishop Athanasius Schneider and Fr. Claude Barthe are now aligned with Vatican Council II and Tradition ( Council of Florence 1442). There are no objections from the Holy See Press Office today, as during the time of Paulo Ruffini. Reuters now agrees that Vatican Council II supports the traditionalists and not liberals, with LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, being theoretical cases. So they cannot be practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442 affirmed be the traditionalists. Vatican Council II ( Unitatis Redintigratio with ‘the blue passages’ postulates only an ecumenism of return ( Syllabus of Pius IX).

"Uniting spiritually" with pagans and heretics? At today’s Angelus, Leo XIV remembered the interreligious Assisi scandal of 1986. He said: “The day after tomorrow, October 27, let us unite spiritually with the heads of Churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi on the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II.”
Papa leone all'Angelus invita a pregare per lo "Spirito di Assisi" • Sito: HOME - COMMUNITY OF SANT'EGIDIO All’Angelus in Piazza San Pietro, Leone XIV sottolinea che serve un cuore nuovo "capace di accogliere e di vivere il grande comandamento dell'amore"; un comandamento che non è un obbligo nè una imposizione ma l'esigenza propria del desiderio dell'uomo di essere in comunione con Dio
«THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» Card. Roger Etchegaray «THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» The spirit of Assisi: it was Pope John Paul II who coined the expression. Since October 27th 1986, this "spirit" has been felt a little everywhere, losing none of the power of its first flowering. I have no intention of playing the old gardener, but, having been a fascinated witness of its germination in the Pope's thought and the privileged artisan of its blooming, I feel I can affirm: on that day I heard the world's heart-beat. A brief meeting on a hill, a word or two, a gesture, sufficed for fragmented humanity to joyfully rediscover its original unity. When, at the end of a grey morning, a rainbow appeared in the sky over Assisi, those leaders of religions, called together by the audacious prophet of one of them, Pope John Paul II, saw in it a pressing call to brotherhood: no one could doubt that it was prayer which had won this visible sign of concord between God and the descendants of Noah. At San Rufino Cathedral …Zêde
A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc

A Vatican source has denied media reports that Pope Leo XIV will undergo immunotherapy. The denial follows a report published by Brazil’s GloboNews on October 23. It claimed that the Pope would receive pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The denial was reported on Sunday by the Rome-based Catholic news agency I.MEDIA and the Italian news agency Adnkronos, both citing unnamed Vatican sources. #newsFtvwkchrit
This is (of course) not a (completely) Catholic view on the topic, but that's not the point here. -- The point here is that ONLY a JEW, after accepting CHRISTIANITY (like the author of the video) is really able to EXPLAIN the mystery of "ISLAM" (a false religion, a death cult, a political movement born out of ENVY).
Pepe Escobar October 19, 2026 Exclusive: What’s really happening at the Iran-Pakistan border There’s no way to fight the Empire without bypassing its control of the international financial system. All hell is already breaking loose when it comes to probing what is exactly taking place related to the latest, definitely murky U.S.-linked movements in Pakistani land and sea. After an initial assessment at Transition Protocol – which avowedly did not provide all the necessary answers – we dug deeper into a way more comprehensive examination supported by several sources. What we are watching across several nodes of extremely sensitive Iran-Pakistan overland connectivity is not a blanket border shutdown; but a surgical, two-track balancing act by Islamabad between Washington’s tremendous financial vise and Tehran’s strategic lifeline. So here’s where it all stands – compounding the verified record with our latest consultations. The key point: the regulatory trigger was a banking sanctions …Zêde
The FSSPX’s Christ the King pilgrimage opened in Lourdes on October 24, despite Bishop Jean-Marc Micas’ ban on celebrations inside the sanctuary’s basilicas. Pilgrims gathered under a large tent at Maison Saint-Ignace for four Masses. The day also included Stations of the Cross on the Espélugues hillside and individual prayers at the Grotto of Massabielle, as the faithful continued their pilgrimage despite the restrictions.

Iran Activates Its "Dead Hand" Doctrine Iranian supreme authorities have ordered the country's military leadership to fully activate the decentralized "mosaic defense" doctrine amid a growing likelihood of a joint US-Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic. According to reports, local commanders have received detailed lists of targets, covering US economic and political assets throughout the region, which could become targets in the event of a war. The "dead hand" or "mosaic defense" doctrine is designed to allow Iran to continue fighting even if its central leadership is defeated. The IRGC is organized into 31 largely autonomous provincial commands, each of which has its own weaponry, supplies, and decision-making authority, allowing military commanders to make decisions without waiting for approval from Tehran. theAxisofTruth

Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop Who Offered to Pachamama Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese. He will thus be the successor to Archbishop Richard Daniel Alarcón Urrutia, 74. Just two weeks ago, the new Archbishop offered to the idol Pachamama. Leo XIV Personally Formed Estrada Born in Cotabambas in 1973, Monsignor Estrada joined the Augustinians and was ordained a priest in 2005. Pope Francis appointed Estrada auxiliary bishop of Cuzco in January 2021. In May 2025, Bishop Estrada told VaticanNews.va, that Leo XIV was already his professor, his spiritual director within the Augustinians, and then his Prior General. Finally they served together within the Peruvian episcopate. Bishop Prevost was a concelebrant at the priestly ordination of Estrada and his episcopal co-consecrator.

Does this sound like Russia is pro Christian or actually pro good anything?
And that’s where Chabad came in. Not long after Putin took power, he worked out a deal with Chabad. The organization would have to publicly and loudly support Putin’s policies, and defend him against charges of antisemitism. In return, it would receive lavish funding from two Putin-friendly oligarchs, and get the full support of the Russian government to operate in the Russian Federation.
For Vatican justice, already under severe scrutiny for the way the major trial was conducted, a new front is opening: that of the transparency of investigations and the guarantees afforded to the defendants. This is a matter likely to weigh on the pontificate of Leo XIV, who is called to deal with the judicial legacy of one of the most controversial proceedings in recent years.
