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.”
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 …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು

Latin Mass Returns to Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore: A Roman Rite pilgrimage, similar to the Chartres pilgrimage, began in Rome on 25 April. Over the course of three days, the pilgrims will walk 90 km to Subiaco. The route began with a Mass at the Basilica Maria Maggiore and passed through Castel Gandolfo.
@Michael Haynes on X: The Latin Mass returned once again to the Basilica of St Mary Major this morning Now pilgrims are on day 1 of 3, walking from Rome to Subiaco
Deacon Nick Donnelly @ProtecttheFaith First they desecrate St. Peter’s with a protestantized Mass, then they desecrate it with Pachamama, a gay pride march and now they desecrate St.Peter’s with a woman pretending to be the Archbishop of a schismatic Protestant group that persecuted Catholics for hundreds of years
The Church teaches that heretics cannot validly administer even sacramentals, such as blessings, consecrations, and exorcisms. The Church has automatically excommunicated the accomplices of heretics. Pope Leo XIII It breaks away from the Apostolic succession In the rite of conferring and administering any sacrament one rightly distinguishes between the ceremonial part and the essential part, which is customarily called the matter and form. […] Now, the words which until recent times were everywhere held by the Anglicans as the proper form of priestly ordination, namely, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit,’ certainly do not in the least signify definitely the order of priesthood, or its grace and power, which is especially the power ‘of consecrating and of offering the true Body and Blood of the Lord,’ in that sacrifice which is no ‘nude commemoration of the sacrifice offered on the Cross’ [see n. 950]. Such a form was indeed afterwards lengthened by these words, ‘for the office and work of …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು
Father E. Sylvester Berry: “The dragon is seen in heaven which is here a symbol of the Church, the kingdom of heaven on earth. This indicates that the first troubles of those days will be inaugurated within the Church by apostate bishops, priests, and peoples, — the stars dragged down by the tail of the dragon.

Troisième dimanche après Pâques – « Encore un peu de temps et vous ne me verrez plus, car je vais vers mon Père ». Il y a déjà trois semaines d’écoulées depuis le saint Jour de Pâques. La Résurrection du Seigneur occupait toutes les pensées de notre Mère l’Église. Dans la première semaine de Pâques, elle nous mettait chaque jour sous les yeux une des apparitions du Christ ressuscité. Le dimanche blanc, nous avons vu le Seigneur avec Thomas et il nous a été permis de mettre nos doigts dans ses plaies glorifiées. Le deuxième dimanche, nous nous sommes réunis comme des brebis fidèles autour du Bon Pasteur qui, à Pâques, nous avait rassemblés alors que nous étions errants, et qui, maintenant, nous conduit dans les riches pâturages de ses saints mystères. Jusqu’ici, l’Église était tout oreilles, tout yeux et tout cœur pour le Ressuscité. A partir d’aujourd’hui, elle regarde vers l’avenir, vers un double avenir, l’avenir du Christ et notre propre avenir : Aujourd’hui, pour …
April 21, 1923 Volume 15 The darkest point of the present society. This morning my always lovable Jesus transported me outside of myself, to a place in which one could see flags being waved, and parades in which all classes of people were participating, including priests. As though offended by all this, Jesus wanted to clasp the creatures in His hand to crush them; and I, taking His hand in mine, clasped Him to myself, saying to Him: “My Jesus, what are You doing? After all, they don’t seem to be doing evil things, but rather, good things. It seems that the Church is uniting with your enemies of before, and these no longer show that aversion for dealing with people from the Church; on the contrary, they call them to bless their flags. Is this not a good sign? And You, instead of being pleased with it, seem to get offended.” And Jesus, sighing and highly afflicted, told me: “My daughter, how you are deceiving yourself. This is the darkest point of the present society, and their union …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು

Acts 11:1-18 “So then, even to the Gentiles, God has granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too!” Peter was somewhat hesitant to go to the Gentiles. Jesus conveyed his message of loving us all. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for illuminating the beauty of God in each of us. John 10:11-18 “A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away.” The true shepherd will also present himself to the wolf, so that the wolf too may become a lamb. Many people were wolves before receiving God’s grace and becoming lambs. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Prevost contradicts not only all of Scripture, Divine Natural Law, and Catholic moral doctrine, but also all the Church Fathers, the Saints, Church Tradition, and approved Marian apparitions.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Footnotes 1 Corinthians 6:9 The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.

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 consecration in the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X is labelled a schismatic act."
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.
