During yesterday’s Papal General Audience, the music ensemble in St. Peter's Square entertained the older generation with 1970s songs: Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Dancing Queen by ABBA. The latter celebrates nightlife.
Ist „Dancing Queen“ ein passender Song für eine allgemeine Papstaudienz? Was meint ihr dazu?

It is premature to foresee an intervention by the Holy See regarding the German bishops on the blessings for homosexuals. Cardinal Pietro Parolin said this at the Augustinianum to present the book “Robert Francis Prevost. Free Under Grace”, as reported by VaticanNews.va on May 6. At this moment, Cardinal Parolin said, there is “dialogue”: “Let us see what happens.” He reiterated that the decision belongs to the Pope. “But in any case," he continued, “we have already for some time begun a dialogue, each expressing our own views.” Cardinal Parolin hopes that sanctions will not be necessary and that problems may be resolved peacefully, as should be the case in the Church. #newsZztiabfumv
"Therefore, I want to go to the heathens in whose mouths I am now bitter and distasteful, but I will become sweeter than honey in their mouths. Nevertheless, I am still so merciful that I will happily receive each and everyone who begs for my forgiveness and says: ‘Lord, I know that I have sinned severely and I gladly want to better myself through your grace. Have mercy on me for the sake of your bitter suffering.’"
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 57 ~ The words of our Lord to the bride about how he is loathsome and despicable food for the souls of Christians, and how the world, instead, is loved and found to be delightful by them, and about the terrifying judgment that is executed over such people. The Son of God spoke to his bride: “Christians are now acting towards me as the Jews acted towards me. The Jews drove me out of the temple and had a complete will to kill me, but since my hour had not yet come, I escaped from their hands. Christians act towards me in the same way now. They drive me out of their temple (that is, out of their soul, which should be my temple) and they would gladly want to kill me if they could. I am like rotten and stinking flesh in their mouths. I seem, to them, to be like a man who utters lies, and they do not care about me at …ଅଧିକ
The Diocese of Amiens, northern France, has announced that it will not renew the mission of three conservative priests from the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon after months of “growing tensions” within the parishes. Fathers François-Régis Favre, Éloi Legrand, and Pierre-Marie Brochery, began serving in the parishes of Albert, Bray-sur-Somme, Mailly-Maillet, and Acheux in September 2025. They will depart at the end of the current pastoral year. In a statement released on April 27, Bishop Gérard Le Stang said the decision followed “a long period of reflection” and consultations with diocesan clergy and parishioners. He described the situation as having created a “deep and lasting disruption” within the communities. Cassocks, Novus Ordo in Latin The priests drew criticism from some parishioners for wearing cassocks, celebrating the Novus Ordo partly in Latin, and emphasizing moral teaching. Complaints also emerged regarding what some described as divisive preaching. One deacon reportedly …ଅଧିକ
Remember the good old days when the Jesuits forbade their members from becoming bishops or accepting any other kind of powerful religious or secular office to keep their innate intelligence and talent from devolving into arrogance, and resulting in their judgment about whether they existed to serve God or to improve on Him being clouded? So much of the evil that has seized the church has been initiated by Jesuits who were set free to give their conceit and arrogance free rein.
This afternoon, 28 new recruits of the Pontifical Swiss Guard swore allegiance to the Roman Pontiff, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. The ceremony takes place every year on May 6th, the date in 1527, when 147 Swiss Guards died defending Clement VII during the Sack of Rome.
Today a few young mates swore their loyalty to the Pope Always such a moving ceremony… even if sadly this time we couldn’t experience it outdoors May the Lord Jesus guide and protect these young men who came to the Vatican carrying so many hopes, dreams and aspirations from the Facebook page of Silere Non Possum
Acts 15:22-31 “We have heard that some of our number [who went out] without any mandate from us have upset you with their teachings and disturbed your peace of mind.” It is necessary to carefully discern the message we convey to others. Let us evaluate whether what we say comes from God or from evil. John 15:12-17 Jesus said, “I have called you friends.” Let us remain close to God and cherish the childlike joy within ourselves and in others. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Matthew McCusker May 4, 2026 By endorsing Francis's 2018 Catechism revision on capital punishment, Leo XIV has chosen a competing rule of faith over that proposed by the ordinary and universal Catholic Magisterium. Leo XIV has publicly rejected the teaching of the Catholic Church that capital punishment is legitimate under certain conditions. This teaching, having been proposed for our belief by the universal and ordinary magisterium, must be believed by all Catholics. The denial of this doctrine constitutes heresy. The implications of Leo XIV’s public profession of heresy deserve careful consideration. Leo XIV’s position on capital punishment On April 24, in a video address commemorating the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in Illinois, Leo XIV said: The Church teaches that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person.” The words within speech marks are from the text on capital punishment inserted into the …ଅଧିକ

The destruction of doctrine under the language of “discernment,” “listening,” & “lived experience” is one of the gravest spiritual dangers of our time. Truth is not determined by experience. Truth is revealed by God An Emergency in the Church - Pillars of Faith
Breaking News Chemotherapy is an ineffective cancer treatment: The only reason that it is still used is because it’s a gigantic money maker Beginning in 2011, American Naturopath Dr. Peter Glidden has been publicly speaking out against using chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer. It is ineffective, harmful and is only still being used because of the huge profits the drug makes for the pharmaceutical industry and doctors, he said.

Since Pope Leo XIV assumed the papacy, one of the most closely watched questions has been how he would continue Pope Francis’ legacy on climate change. Dubbed by some as the “climate pope,” Francis made care for creation central to Catholic social teaching in the 21st century. In Laudato Si’, he reminded us that “everything is connected,” and that environmental degradation, human relationships and economic systems are intertwined. He propelled that message further with Laudate Deum, arguing that climate change is not only a scientific or political issue, but a moral and spiritual one. Francis made a profound and unmistakable imprint. His papacy elevated climate change into a defining moral issue, positioning the church as a global voice urging both political accountability and personal responsibility. Leo has not retreated from that position. Rather, he is propelling it forward. Continue reading at National Catholic Reporter Post Views: 57
The characteristics of the Antichrist: Ecologist (worship of Pachamama), ecumenist (to worship other false gods, in violation of the First Commandment), pacifist (false peace with those who reject the Prince of Peace—for with a kiss, the sign of Peace, Judas betrayed Christ).
