The traditional shoemaker to the Popes presented Leo XIV with two pairs of white shoes on August 29, writes RomeReports.com. However, Leo XIV did not accept them, insisting that he only wanted black shoes. The shoemaker returned to work and recently delivered a new pair in black. Adriano Stefanelli, an Italian craftsman, has made the papal shoes from John Paul II to today’s Pope Leo XIV. It all began with John Paul II after he fell ill briefly during a Via Crucis. Stefanelli decided that the best way he could help was to make him a pair of shoes. He says his quality never changes, even for popes: only the finest materials are used. It is the small details that vary. John Paul II wanted rubber half-soles, Benedict XVI preferred all leather, and Francis wore embroidered slippers with a symbolic design. For Leo XIV, Stefanelli followed Benedict's model — in black. #newsBqncvgecak
He really needs some Merican Shoes by Red Wings, Slip resistant, steel toes to kick the rumps of the Maricons. With white shoes, the toes would discolor with that move.
He was a Modernist revolutionary - albeit one of the more pleasant ones. However, he did angrily criticize the lifting of the excommunications of the SSPX bishops (and I thought argued disingenuously). I have prayed for his soul.
Os Justi Press have released their first book for 2026, Dominic J. Grigio’s ‘The Disastrous Pontificate: Pope Francis’ Rupture from the Magisterium.’ At over 870 pages, Peter Kwasniewski describes it as the definitive, encyclopedic guide to the heresies and destructive actions of Pope Francis and his collaborators. He explains that Dominic J. Grigio is the pen-name of a cleric in good standing with the Church who cannot reveal his identity for fear of reprisals against himself and his diocese. It has been strongly endorsed by eminent Catholic philosophers and theologians, including: Rev. Gerald E. Murray, Edward Feser, Eduardo Echeverria, Philip F. Lawler, John Rist, Michael Sirilla, Claudio Pierantoni, and Josef Seifert. Dominic J. Grigio has given his first interview to Gloria.TV Why did you publish your book under a pen-name? My natural preference is for my name to be out in the open, to openly stand by my published work, particularly when I’m writing about such a topic. However,…بیہ
He should donate and ship a copy to all of the members of the Sacred College of Cardinals and to the heads of all the Vatican Curial Departments. And of course, one to the current occupant of the Throne of Saint Peter.
Micromanaging the liturgy with malice... that's how I would describe him. In fact, I'm sure he's one of those liberal priests who find anything from the Church's tradition a microaggression! I vividly recall getting YELLED AT by a priest when serving because I had put the Host on a paten, instead of a glass dish. He accused me of "rejecting Vatican II" by this small action that I've done many times while preparing the altar as an acolyte.
In Kurmin Wali, Kaduna State, Nigeria, gunmen attacked three churches during Sunday services on January 18, and kidnapped about 177 Christians. Although residents reported the abductions immediately, Nigerian authorities first denied they occurred. After public pressure, police confirmed the kidnappings and said security forces were deployed to find the victims.
Nigerian police have CONFIRMED that 177 Christians were KIDNAPPED from their churches last weekend .The confirmation comes after the police originally DENIED that the kidnappings had occurred. They have since denied the denial, calling it a 'measured response'
My eldest brother could see aura's. I guess it's almost the same thing. He saw various shades of blues greens, yellow's and once a black aura. He also saw a beautiful brilliant white soul once. He told me it was the most beautiful thing he ever saw. He was a gentle humble person and my favorite sibling.
AAP is facing a federal RICO complaint over alleged vaccine-safety fraud. If a medical trade group “manufactured certainty” for profit, that isn’t public health—it’s racketeering. Parents deserve transparency. Doctors deserve truth.
The seminary of Madrid has denied a pro-homosexual training program, but InfoVaticana.com stands by its original report. The sessions were taught by Rev. Jesús Sastre García in November. He is affiliated with the pro-homosexual association Crismhom as a spiritual director. InfoVaticana reported on January 8 about the training at the seminary. It added that the seminarians were provided, as a reference contact for the course, with an email from crismhom.org rather than a personal account of the priest. On January 12, the seminary issued a statement confirming the sessions took place as part of the ordinary formation and were taught by Rev. García. The seminary said the content was fully in accordance with the Church’s Magisterium. Earlier the same day, a statement attributed to Crismhom, published by ReligionDigital.org and later removed, denied that the Archdiocese of Madrid had involved the association in any training. It claimed the email address was the priest’s personal account. …بیہ
Mass of Ages is a holy Sacrifice to the Holy Vader in Heaven! Amen.
Ad Orientem: Why the Mass Is a Sacrifice, Not a Performance This video is part of TAN Books’ Year of the Latin Mass, a year-long initiative to restore reverence, clarity, and continuity in Catholic worship. Question: Why does the direction of the priest matter at Mass? In this reflection, Conor Gallagher explores ad orientem, the ancient practice of priest and people facing east together, and why this single outward gesture reveals the true nature of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Mass is not first a communal meal or a performance for the congregation. It is the offering of the Lamb of God to the Father for the remission of sins. When worship turns inward, something subtle but devastating shifts in the soul of the liturgy and in the soul of man. Ad orientem restores the original axis of worship. It reorients the heart away from what is convenient, comfortable, or entertaining, and back toward what is worthy, beautiful, and true. Facing east teaches us to ask the right question, …بیہ

A general view of the Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant in Neckarwestheim, Germany.Wikimedia Commons, thomas springer, PD-self A senior figure in Austria’s power sector has highlighted Europe’s ongoing dependence on nuclear power to maintain electricity supplies during winter months. Speaking to Austrian media outlet Selektiv, Gerhard Christiner, Technical Director of Austrian Power Grid (APG), said: “At present, the European electricity system is unthinkable without nuclear power imports in winter.” Christiner’s comments come amid Austria’s push towards 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2030, a target enshrined in national policy, while it grapples with costly import needs and grid inefficiencies. Although the country achieved 94 per cent renewable generation in 2024 on a balance-sheet basis, exporting nearly 5 terawatt-hours (TWh), the picture shifted dramatically in 2025 due to weaker hydropower output. Austria imported about the same amount it had exported the previous year …
