By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | May 26, 2026 Although I generally admired Pope Leo’s first encyclical, I was dismayed to read, in paragraph 192: Today, more than ever, without prejudice to the right to self-defense in the strictest sense, it is important to reaffirm that the “just war” theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated. Pope Leo is not the first Pontiff to say that just-war theory is outdated. Pope Francis said the same thing. Even Pope Pius XII, who cannot be classified as a pacifist, said in his Christmas message of 1948: “The theory of war as an apt and proportionate means of solving international conflicts is now out of date.” But Pius XII, speaking in the aftermath of World War II, did not jettison just-war theory—even with the advent of The Bomb threatening new levels of mass destruction. No one short of Dr. Strangelove would think that nuclear war is “an apt and proportionate means” of resolving conflicts. A …
When the Eucharistic Lord enters classrooms | Shalom World News At Epiphany Catholic School in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, something extraordinary happened in the middle of an ordinary school day. The Eucharistic Lord was carried through the hallways, entering classrooms one by one, with students welcoming Jesus. Bells echoed through the corridors. Hymns filled the air. Teachers fell silent. Children knelt in reverence. Some bowed their heads in prayer, while others simply stared in awe at the Blessed Sacrament. For a few sacred moments, lessons paused, conversations faded, and heaven seemed to walk through the school halls. This is what Catholic education looks like when Christ is truly at the center — not just taught in textbooks but carried into everyday life. At Epiphany, students attend frequent Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and faith formation centered on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Wenn der eucharistische Herr die Klassenzimmer betritt | Shalom World News An der Epiphany Catholic School in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, ereignete sich mitten im Schulalltag etwas Außergewöhnliches. Der eucharistische Herr wurde durch die Flure getragen und betrat Klassenzimmer für Klassenzimmer, wo die Schüler Jesus willkommen hießen. Glocken läuteten durch die Gänge. Hymnen erfüllten die Luft. Die Lehrer verstummten. Kinder knieten ehrfürchtig nieder. Einige senkten die Köpfe zum Gebet, während andere einfach nur staunend auf das Allerheiligste Sakrament blickten. Für einen kurzen, heiligen Augenblick unterbrachen die Unterrichtsstunden, die Gespräche verstummten, und es schien, als ob der Himmel durch die Schulflure schritt. So sieht katholische Erziehung aus, wenn Christus wirklich im Mittelpunkt steht – nicht nur in Lehrbüchern gelehrt, sondern im Alltag gelebt. An der Epiphany besuchen die Schüler regelmäßig die Heilige Messe, die eucharistische Anbetung und die Glaubensbildung …Hiroc’h

– Folha de S. Paulo, March 15, 1970 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Today, we will wrap up this series by examining aspects of the so-called convergence policy, which Roger Garaudy invites capitalists and communists of our time to adopt. I’ll briefly outline this topic. Garaudy, an expert on religious issues for the French Communist Party, was one of the leading intellectuals who helped foster collaboration between communists and Catholics. Given the significant advantages that international communism gained and fully utilized, Garaudy’s role shouldn’t be seen just as an individual stance. The meeting between communists and Catholics was clearly a strategic move orchestrated by the top communist leadership, with Garaudy acting as their tool. Now, as he prepares for another “collaboration,” it’s clear that he is again acting on the orders of the same leadership. Communists must persuade capitalists to adopt a surrender policy similar to that of progressive Catholics in other areas.…Hiroc’h
A recent Wall Street Journal weekly ‘Review and Outlook’ editorial was “The Truth about Hamas.” It kept me awake, and our news media must no longer cover it up.
“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII “connive in sins” various descriptions Connivance is the act of allowing wrongdoing to be covered up or overlooked, whether actively or passively; "Connivance" derives from the Latin coniveo: "to close the eyes, to overlook."; In theological terms, connivance is a useful term, especially for the passive allowance of immoral behavior; culpable indifference or criminal sympathy with the sin; Wink at his fault, and forbear to accuse and punish him; indifference to precise regulations of religion, indisposition of heart towards "perfect holiness"; a loose …Hiroc’h
Light penances for grave sins do more harm than good—they condemn the penitent to even greater torment in purgatory and make the priest complicit in the sins. Moreover, does a woman understand the full gravity of her sin after receiving three Lord's Prayer prayers as satisfaction for an abortion? Will she refrain from repeating the sin next time?
1. Leo XIV explicitly or humorously said that the single language before the tower of Babel was a lack of diversity. §10: “Let us avoid the ‘Babel syndrome’ … the uniformity that levels differences; the claim of a single — even digital — language…” 2. From the 224 footnotes, Pope Francis is cited 55 times. 3. At the press conference, Leo XIV said that the Church and the US tech company ‘Anthropic’, will walk together to "find the way for humanity." 4. The encyclical includes lots of personalist philosophy, including the erroneous idea of an “infinite” dignity of the person and “total gift of self.” 5. The first third of the document is primarily a theological and social-philosophical framework. The encyclical only becomes focused on technology and AI around §90 of the total 226 paragraphs. 6. Leo XIV's summary of past Catholic Social Teaching includes economic and political documents but ignores marriage and family. 7. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,... are framed as religions of …Hiroc’h

Lazarus Peter Katalmation.com How Trump Has Talked About Ending the Iran War The New York Times analyzed the president’s statements suggesting that the conflict was drawing to a close and compared them with the reality of the moment. Often, there was a wide disconnect. Mr. Trump has repeatedly threatened to use extreme force, only to hold his fire. In many cases he has made claims of major diplomatic progress that later proved unfounded, fueling criticism that he is trying to calm markets and relieve political pressure.
Chapter XVIII In Aquitaine once when the Christians were communicating at Easter, among the Christian boys a Jew went up to the altar and took the Body of the Lord with them. Returning to his parents and being asked where he had been, he replied that he had gone with his boy-friends to the church and had communicated with them. Then his father, being exceedingly angry, threw the boy into the fire, from which, however, the Blessed Virgin Mary saved him unhurt. But the mother of the the boy by her cries collected many Christians and Jews together, who, seeing the boy alive in the fire, asked him, after he had been taken out, how it was he felt no pain. And he replied that she who was above the altar of the Christians, had appeared to him and driven off all the flames with her cloak. Then understanding that it was the image of the Blessed Mary, they threw the father of the boy into the fire and he being at once consumed, many became more fervent in the faith.

"And the Devil came and mocked him, saying: “ Are you not he who made me so misshapen in your pictures and spat on my figure ? Because you mocked me I have mocked you. Behold, ‘ Miserable Wretch ’ shall be your name. Ask, therefore, your Mary, whom you made so beautiful, to help you now.” He therefore, being reminded of the pity of the Mother of God, began with all his heart to call upon her to vouchsafe her aid in his great affliction. And in very truth she, the Mother of Piety, did appear unto him, and said : “ Be comforted in the Lord and hereafter Stand firm and beware of the wiles of the Devil, for I will not desert you in this trouble.” And immediately she seized the Devil and bound him to the pillar, releasing Hieronymus."
There is something seriously wrong and no one is revealing the truth. YET! I can't see how anyone would think he is in great shape mentally or physically. Not only signs he is not well but his anger has gotten out of control. And falling asleep more than once. They are not telling us the truth. But that's no surprise. The administration tried to say his hands had marks from shaking hands too much. But both hands had marks on them. There will be ads so just keep scrolling down.
