Cardinal Cupich and Leo XIV Share Ecclesial Vision and Devotion for Francis: Pro-homosexual Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told homosex activist James Martin SJ on April 21 that he has a decade-long relationship with Pope Leo XIV and often borrows his language when commenting on political events. Cupich recalled that Prevost attended his 2014 installation as archbishop of Chicago. They grew closer when Prevost became a member of the Congregation for Bishops and later became prefect: “He had been here at Holy Name Cathedral a couple of times to visit with me, we had lunch here… We have a very good history together working on important projects and had a great devotion to Pope Francis.”
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich said this week that he has worked closely with Pope Leo XIV for years and often draws on the pontiff’s language when speaking on political issues. Appearing on Father James Martin’s podcast, Cupich said his relationship with Leo dates back to 2014 and deepened through their shared service on the Dicastery for Bishops. “We have a very good history together working on important projects,” Cupich said, adding that both shared “a great devotion to Pope Francis.”
Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is anyone who places his trust in human beings and relies on human strength while his heart turns away from the Lord.
Talking to Gloria.tv, Bishop Athanasius Schneider asks Pope Leo XIV to permit the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Since Leo XIV continually calls for peace in the world, the bishop argues that he should also foster peace within the Church. If he cannot make peace with the faithful and clergy of the FSSPX — Catholics who love and pray for the Pope — then his appeals for peace will lose credibility. Bishop Schneider therefore recommends that the Pope allow the consecrations as a gesture of reconciliation and to build bridges with the FSSPX, with whom he should continue discussions towards a lasting solution.
Ausschnitt aus diesem Video: "Wenn der Papst in der Welt zum Frieden aufruft, sollte er auch innerhalb der Kirche Frieden stiften. Eine Erlaubnis der Bischofsweihen wäre ein seelsorgliches Zeichen des Dialogs und der Versöhnung mit der Piusbruderschaft – als Brücke zu weiterer Klärung und Einheit."

Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing." When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal …Zaidi

On 24 April, Bishop Joseph Strickland posted a comment on X regarding Pope Leo XIV's response to a question on blessings for homosexual couples in the Archdiocese of Munich during the flight from Africa to Rome. Monsignor Strickland called the distinction between 'formal' and 'informal' blessings, as referenced in 'Fiducia Supplicans', confusing because sin cannot be blessed. Likewise, the suggestion that there are 'greater and more important' moral issues than sexual morality must be understood with great care: "The Church has never taught that sins against chastity are of little importance." "Sacred Scripture and the constant teaching of the Church affirm that sexual morality touches deeply on the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of marriage, and the proper ordering of love." Leo XIV had said that there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, equality, and the freedom of men and women and of religion. Bishop Strickland responded: "The moral law is not …Zaidi
Prevost obstinately rejects the authority of God and defies the Holy Spirit. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples Saint Paul teaches us that anyone who rejects the instructions to live in holiness and disobeys the Will of God—which consists precisely in the requirement that we Christians live in holiness and abstain from all sexual immorality—is not rejecting a human authority; rather, on the contrary, such a person is rejecting the Supreme Authority, which is the authority of God. Such a person rejects and defies the Holy Spirit. In other words, Prevost is committing the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 New Catholic Bible God Wills Your Sanctification Chapter 4 Respect for the Body. 1 Finally, brethren, you learned from us how you ought to live so that you may be pleasing to God—and as you are indeed doing. Now we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus to do so even more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord …Zaidi

Mnamo Julai tarehe 26 mtetezi uavyaji mimba mwenye sifa mbaya Emma Bonino, 69, alizungumza katika Kanisa la Paroko la San Defendente, Cassato, Italia, ili kukweza kampeni za kuunga mkono uhamiaji. Kwa miongo sasa, Bonino amekuwa katili katika siasa za Italia. Kama mavyaji mimba amewaua watoto zaidi ya 10,000, wakiwemo wake. Aliongoza kampeni ambayo ilifanikiwa katika kuanzisha uavyaji nchini Italia mnamo mwaka wa 1978. Sasa Bonino hukweza wizi wa watu wachanga kutoka kwenye nchi fukara ili kujaza pengo la watu nchini Italia. Shirika la Pro-life “Ora et labora in difesa della vita” liliandaa mikutano ya maombi dhidi ya Bonini nje ya nyumba ya Askofu na nje Kanisa la Paroko. Akimnukuu Papa Francis, Baba Paroko, Padre Mario Marchiori, alijibu kuwa Kanisa lake ni "pahala pa mwaliko". Alikosolewa. Antonio Carrabini aliripoti kwenye mtandao wa Twitter kuwa wakati wa sherehe hiyo Wakatoliki walijaribu kuliangazia suala la uavyaji na upungufu wa idadi ya watu lakini walipigiwa kelele na wengine …Zaidi
"Love it or hate it**, ‘prepping’ is becoming a way of life for many Catholics and with World War III brewing – or, some may say, already begun – our thoughts naturally turn to things both eschatological and practical. Damian Keller leads this article with a short reminder of our spiritual obligations and focus at this time. "Below that, you will find links to some helpful videos concerning practical considerations. These are not created by Catholics and are merely representational – there is a vast amount of information available for those who want to dive deeper into how and why we should make physical preparations.

I can confirm that story about Sarajevo firsthand. I can also say that during those years, God blessed us with an abundance of food from nature. The soil was very fertile—potatoes grew better than ever (almost twentyfold), and other vegetables were just as plentiful. The same was true for fruits like apples, pears, plums, and others, which we used to make delicious jams and get plenty of vitamins from.

Acts of the Apostles 11,1-18. The Apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him, saying, "You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them." Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying, "I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me. Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky. I also heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.' But I said, 'Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' But a second time a voice from heaven answered, 'What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.' This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again …Zaidi
