Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …Zaidi
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.

John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …Zaidi

Kulingana na Gotti kulikuwa na kutokuwa na nia katika Vatikani kushughulikia mizizi ya shida.

Benedicto wa kumi na sita alijaribu kutengeneza uwazi wa fedha lakini kulingana na Gotti, baada ya 2012 mienendo yake ilibadilishwa "kwa namna za ajabu" Kulingana na Gotti Vatikani inahitaji kubadilisha vyombo vyake na pia watu wanaovitumia. Lakini ili kupata wanaume sahihi papa atahitaji madiwani walio na haki, Gotti aliongeza. Anazingatia Mamlaka Ya Maelezo Ya Fedha, anayoyataka Benedicto wa kumi na sita kama chombo kikuu.

[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD: Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (aged 52-53); Cardinal, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, Seraphic Doctor, Teacher of the Faith, Writer, Philosopher] “First consider that Mary is a most pure star by living purely and without sin. Therefore doth Wisdom say of her: "She is more beautiful than light, than the sun, and above all the arrangement of the stars, and being compared to light, she is found more pure." Some read here, "before" instead of "more pure," but either phrase is fitted to our Star. For Mary is indeed prior, or before, that is, she is most worthy, most great; Mary is purer than the sun, and the stars, and the light. For both in dignity and purity she surpasses the sun, the stars, and the light, yea, even every spiritual and angelic creature, of whom it is said: "God divides light from darkness," that is, the angels who stood firm from those who fell. Mary is prior to and purer than this angelic light. …Zaidi
"Mary is also interpreted illuminatrix or lightgiver. For this virgin was wonderfully illuminated by the presence of the Lord, according to that word of the Apocalypse: "I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was enlightened by the glory of him.... The Son of God is the Angel of Great Counsel; the earth illuminated by the glory of Him is Mary, who, as she was illuminated by His grace in the world, is now illuminated by His glory in Heaven, that, being thus illuminated, she may become a lightgiver in the world and in Heaven. Therefore, we must consider that Mary, the illuminated, is a light-giver by her example, her benefits, and her rewards. She giveth light by the example of her life, by the benefits of her mercy, and by the rewards of her glory."
Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV. Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon: “ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …Zaidi
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6,22-29. [After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.] The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left. Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." So …Zaidi
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 6,22-29. In jener Zeit stand die Menge am anderen Ufer des Sees von Galiläa; sie hatten gesehen, dass nur ein Boot dort gewesen war und dass Jesus nicht mit seinen Jüngern ins Boot gestiegen war, sondern dass seine Jünger allein abgefahren waren. Von Tiberias her kamen andere Boote in die Nähe des Ortes, wo sie nach dem Dankgebet des Herrn das Brot gegessen hatten. Als die Leute sahen, dass weder Jesus noch seine Jünger dort waren, stiegen sie in die Boote, fuhren nach Kafarnaum und suchten Jesus. Als sie ihn am anderen Ufer des Sees fanden, fragten sie ihn: Rabbi, wann bist du hierhergekommen? Jesus antwortete ihnen: Amen, amen, ich sage euch: Ihr sucht mich nicht, weil ihr Zeichen gesehen habt, sondern weil ihr von den Broten gegessen habt und satt geworden seid. Müht euch nicht ab für die Speise, die verdirbt, sondern für die Speise, die für das ewige Leben bleibt und die der Menschensohn euch geben wird! Denn ihn hat Gott, der Vater …Zaidi
