This morning Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel, called Pope Leo XIV, and they spoke on the telephone. They exchanged greetings for Passover and Easter. They discussed the current situation in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Catholics do not celebrate Passover. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Law regarding Passover. To exchange greetings about Passover is to deny Christ's establishment of the Holy Eucharist and His death on the cross! Shame on those people!
Low IQ fanboys. This is what your church wants. Basically man-children. When tradition has been completely erased, there is no need for memory. Everything is transient and juvenile. There is nothing eternal, and thus there is no peace, only disturbance, like a churning adolescence.
A Parable of a Quiet Prayer There once lived a husband and wife. They slept under the same blanket, but faced different directions in life. He believed in himself-in logic, in skill, in markets, in numbers, in crypto. He would say, “Work hard. Success comes to those who are strong.” She believed in God. And every night, after he had fallen asleep, she would quietly fold her hands in prayer. Not just for herself—for him. “Lord, watch over him. Give him wisdom. Keep him from mistakes. Bless the work of his hands.” Years went by. He prospered. Deals came together. Trouble seemed to pass him by. Even decisions made on a whim somehow turned out right. He would smile and say, “I knew it. I calculated everything perfectly. This is my mind. My work. My success.” She stayed silent. And thanked God. One day, an old pastor said to him. “You are a very wealthy man.” “I know,” the man replied proudly. “No,” the pastor smiled gently. “You are wealthy because someone stands before God for you …More
“The Church has damaged the liturgy of the Mass. It is too noisy now! It’s as if we are celebrating ourselves. It has become a convivial moment, whereas we are there to worship God; we need a liturgy that worships God. We no longer speak of salvation and the soul!” - Robert Cardinal Sarah
Donald Tusk & @donaldtusk The threat of NATO's break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kviv bv Orbán - it all looks like Putin's dream plan.
A young man was taken into custody after vandalizing a century-old statue of Jesus inside a Catholic Church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, in California and reportedly began reciting verses from the Quran.
Hoje, Leão XIV celebrou a primeira missa crismal do seu pontificado. O clero comportou-se como um turista, tirando fotografias com os seus smartphones.
The Boatman’s Lesson A ferryman was taking a man across the river. The passenger noticed words carved into the oars: one read “Think,” the other “Act.” “Why do you have those?” he asked. Without answering, the ferryman began rowing with the “Think” oar alone. The boat spun in circles. “I used to spend all my time thinking,” he said calmly. “Planning, analyzing… but never moving forward. Just like this.” Then he switched and rowed only with the “Act” oar. The boat spun the other way, still going nowhere. “Then I tried the opposite—jumping into action without thinking. I burned energy, stayed busy… but got nowhere.” Finally, he took both oars and rowed together. The boat moved straight ahead, steady and smooth. “That’s when I understood,” he said. “Thought without action keeps you stuck. Action without thought does the same. Only together do they move you forward.” As they approached the shore, the passenger noticed a beautiful house nearby. “I built that,” the ferryman added …More
Dr. Simon Goddek @goddek MEANWHILE IN GERMANY: Former FDP MP and Israel lobbyist Hartmut Ebbing was caught with child sexual abuse videos. He asked the court for a secret trial to protect the German-Israeli Society (DIG), where he was treasurer. The court agreed. He got a suspended sentence. Later convicted of abusing a 7-year-old. Only then did he resign, after nearly a year managing DIG funds, including German taxpayer money. Both FDP and DIG claimed they “knew nothing.”
