Your ministers, executioners of souls?’ And He: “And how many executioners of souls there are in my Church! There are executioners attached to interests, who make a slaughter of souls, and who, with their example, instead of rendering souls detached from all that is earth, engulf them even more. There are the immodest ones, who, instead of purifying souls, disfigure them. There are executioners of pastimes, dedicated to pleasures, to strolls and other things, who, instead of rendering souls recollected and infusing in them love for prayer and retreat, distract them. These are all slaughters of souls. How much pain does my Heart not feel, in seeing that the very ones who were to help and sanctify souls, are the cause of their ruin.” Volume 15 Book of Heaven May 18, 1923 The executioners of souls present in the Church.
These poor priests are so badly formed that they think this is hip, cool and will get conversions and increase faith. They embrace the world and don't realize that they can't serve two masters.

A advertisement for a French perfume brand appeared on the LED screens covering the façade and apse of Rome’s Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. This prompted a group of residents and worshippers from the Monti district to send a protest letter to the Archpriest Rolandas Makrickas, criticising what they described as the “commercialisation” of the historic basilica. The screens were installed during restoration works that began in late 2024. Back then, Vatican officials said the advertising revenue helps cover renovation costs ahead of the Jubilee.
La pubblicità di un noto profumo francese sulla facciata della basilica patriarcale di Santa Maria Maggiore è stata la goccia che ha fatto di nuovo traboccare il vaso facendo insorgere un gruppo di fedeli del quartiere Monti che, alquanto sbigotti, hanno inviato una lettera di protesta al cardinale arciprete Rolandas Mackrikas. «In quanto membri del Comitato cittadino del Rione Monti e residenti del Rione, vi scriviamo per esprimervi il nostro profondo sgomento per i due enormi cartelloni pubblicitari luminosi sulla facciata e sull’abside della veneranda Basilica». Il gruppo di fedeli si chiede se sia necessario ricorrere a pubblicità tanto appariscenti che nulla hanno a che fare con l'atmosfera e il luogo sacro. Dal volto di Sinner che fa da testimonial ad una marca di caffè, piuttosto che all'ultimo modello di uno smartphone, fino a un profumo. Il tema che viene sollevato è la evidente “mercificazione” di Santa Maria Maggiore...

Indian-born Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue published today the Vatican’s annual message for the pagan feast of Vesak, which commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. The text includes writings of Buddha and quotations from Buddhist texts and combines that with passages from the Gospel. “This momentous festival,” the message states, “serves as an invitation to renew the path of wisdom, compassion, and peace.” The document also praises Buddhist teaching, stating: "The sayings of the Buddha offer an insightful path. The Buddha teaches: 'Hatred is never appeased by hatred; by non-hatred alone is hatred appeased.'" #newsAhaxllpwzl
