Vittorio Messori Has Died

Catholic Italian author Vittorio Messori, 84, died on Good Friday in Desenzano, Italy.
One of his most influential works was The Ratzinger Report, which was based on an interview with Joseph Ratzinger conducted in 1984. The book evaluated the Church's condition following the Second Vatican Council.
Messori also collaborated with Pope John Paul II on the book Crossing the Threshold of Hope. In it, the Pope wrote that Jesus Christ is the unique Saviour of humanity and that Christianity contains the fullness of revealed truth.
Throughout his career, Messori was renowned for his loyalty to the Church, coupled with his intellectual independence.

The East is calling on Putin for help. Not trump!

First remember, it was trump who called Putin 3 weeks ago for help out of the mess he made. Yet didn't listen to him. Now they are turning to Putin to help end this madness that trump and bibi made.
Unfortunately, not even Putin can stop this. That is not what GOD wants. That is not His Will for peace. Not our time.

As the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran intensifies into a full regional crisis, Gulf and Arab capitals have abandoned Washington as their diplomatic anchor and are converging on Moscow — with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, and leaders from the UAE, Oman, and Turkey all reaching directly to Vladimir Putin in an unprecedented geopolitical realignment. Putin, positioning Russia as the region's sole credible stabilizer, has formally opened what the Kremlin is calling a coordinated mediation track — with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirming Russia stands ready to make its "strongest contribution" to …Zaidi

Fuel excise slashed, relief for truckies as Australia enters stage two of four-point plan

In Brief
The fuel excise will be halved for three months.
The heavy vehicle road user charge has also been reduced.
Australians can expect relief at the bowser after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a cut in the fuel excise.
State and territory leaders met with Albanese on Monday morning for a 2.5-hour virtual National Cabinet to coordinate next steps in response to the global fuel crisis resulting from the war in the Middle East.
The fuel excise, currently sitting at 52.6 cents per litre, will be halved for three months as of Wednesday. Treasury estimates it will reduce the cost of a 65-litre tank by roughly $19.
It is a part of a broader scope of measures under a new National Security Plan, including reducing the heavy vehicle road user charge for three months.
"The halving of the fuel excise will reduce the cost of fuel by 26.3 cents per litre," Albanese said on Monday.
"We really also want to encourage Australians who can to take public transport to help save fuel for the …

Examine Your Heart: Where Do You Resist?
The suffering of the Lord and the martyrs challenge the notion that God would never allow suffering. We must conform ourselves to God’s will, even when it contradicts our own desires, as exemplified by Jesus’ prayer in the garden. By examining our own betrayals and rebellions against God’s teachings, we can find grace and strength to embrace our crosses and follow Him.

Kanisa Labomolewa Kupisha Ujenzi Wa Egesho la Magari

Tangu tarehe 17 mwezi wa Julai, Kanisa la Mtakatifu Martin lililo Sablé-sur-Sarthe, nchini Ufaransa , limebomolewa. Kanisa hilo lilijengwa katika miaka ya 1880 na lilikufuriwa mnamo mwaka wa 2015.

Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman BREAKING: Iran's FM Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz: It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman. The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran. For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely. Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries. x.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/2039345578287550503

Synodality in Action: During the Holy Thursday liturgy, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, delegated the foot-washing ritual to lay men and women.

Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.

Francis Huenda Akatupilia Mbali Humanae Vitae

Roberto de Mattei amechapisha kwenye Corrispondenza Romana majina ya wanachama wa tume ya kisiri ambayo iliundwa na Papa Fancis, ili kutafsiri tena nakala ya Humanae Vitae (1968) ya Paul VI, ambayo hukataza mbinu bandia za kupanga uzazi.

Vatikani Imegeuka na kuwa Nchi ya Ufuatiliaji

Idadi ya udhibiti wa barua pepe,simu za mezani na pia hata simu za rununu kule Vatikani umefikia kiwango "ambacho chaweza kuonewa gere na Korea Kaskazini "kulingana na Marco Tosatti.
Akiandika katika blogu yake (mwezi wa Desemba tarehe ishirini na moja) Tosatti anaangazia kuwa wakati wa hotuba yake ya KrisimasiFrancis alitishia Curia kwa wazi. Kulingana na Tosatti maneno haya"haingekuwa tofauti kama yangekuwa yamenenwa miaka ya 1970 na Sekretari Mkomunisti wa Chama cha Kichina ".
Kwake Tosatti hio ni ishara kuwa kiwango cha kutokuwa sawa kwenye Curia umekua, isipokuwa na dicasteries za juu, sasa karibu kutajwa na Francis au kuitikiwa na utawala wake. Kwa hivyo, Francis lazima atumie vitisho wazi, "ambavyo havijawahi sikika kutoka kwa mdomo wa Mwakilishi wake Kristu ", Tosatti aandika.

Leo XIV’s Way of the Cross: Reflections on Social Injustice - Migration, Economy, and Politics

Franciscan Father Francesco Patton wrote the meditations for tonight's Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome with Pope Leo XIV. Fr Patton served as Custos of the Holy Land from 2016 to 2025.
On April 1, he told VaticanNews.va that the inspiration comes from "current reality" and that the meditations are meant to inspire political "change".
The Vatican press office published the text today. Traditionally a penitential and contemplative devotion, the Via Crucis is repurposed here as a vehicle for contemporary socio-political reflection.
The text shifts from the Passion of Christ to war, refugees, human trafficking, surveillance, deportation, the media, the economy, prisons, hostages, and crackdowns on protests. Notably absent, however, are abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology.
One acclamation reads: "For migrants, the displaced, and refugees: Comfort us, O Mother."
In the first station, the meditation talks about political and economic power "to start or end a war… the power …Zaidi

Uropa Inakumbwa Na Upungufu Wa Idadi Ya Watu

"Kusipochukuliwa hatua kwa haraka sana, Bara Uropa limo katika hatari ya upungufu mkuu wa idadi ya watu" kulingana na Antoine Renard, rais wa shirika la Federation of Catholic Family Associations mjini Brussels.
[Tayari ni wazi kuwa itikadi zinazotawala za vyama vingi dhidi ya familia hazitakubalisha kuchukuliwe hatua.]
Akizungumza na Catholic News Service (Aprili 19), Renard alitoa mwito kuwe na msaada wa kisiasa kuanzisha familia. Serikali zinastahili "kuweka familia katika kilele cha sera za kitaifa."
Muungano wa uropa ulikuwa na idadi ya uzazi ya 1,58 kwa kila mwanamke katika mwaka wa 2015. Kiwango cha ubadilishaji kingekuwa takriban uzazi wa 2.1 kwa kila mwanamke.
Wanasiasa waliofeli kama vile Angela Merkel hujaribu kuficha matokeo mabaya ya sera za familia kwa kuwaiba watu kutoka mataifa fukara, na kuyaondolea viijana wao na kusababisha janga la idadi ya watu huko pia.

"We have damaged the liturgy," said Cardinal Robert Sarah in a video interview with Le Figaro Idées (April 2). "It is too noisy. Too noisy. As if we were celebrating ourselves." He warned against reducing worship to mere "conviviality", insisting that a more sober liturgy celebrates the greatness of God. Cardinal Sarah also said: "Today, we practically never speak about salvation," and cautioned that "if the Church does not speak about the soul and what will happen to it after death, then it fails in its mission."

«L’Église a abimé la liturgie de la messe. Elle est trop bruyante ! C’est comme si on se célébrait nous-même. C’est devenu un moment convivial, alors que nous sommes là pour adorer Dieu, il faut une liturgie qui adore Dieu. On ne parle plus du salut et de l’âme !», se désole le cardinal Robert Sarah dans Le Club Le Figaro
