The cost for Leo XIV’s one-and-a-half-day stay in Madrid exceeds €30 million, InfoVaticana.com has learned. This amount corresponds exclusively to the Madrid leg of the trip. The papal visit from June 6 to 12 will also include Barcelona and the Canary Islands (Tenerife and Gran Canaria). The Madrid Archdiocese is appealing to the faithful and businesses for financial support. Significant resources are needed for temporary infrastructure, logistics, venue refurbishment, technical production, additional private security, transportation, institutional coordination and other items typical of a large-scale event. For historical reference, the 2011 World Youth Day in Madrid with Benedict XVI had an overall organizational cost of around €50-60 million, but that event was longer and had an international dimension. Madrid Archdiocese is ruined by the pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo. Picture: Vatican Media, #newsSabuhudwog
Fri Feb 27, 2026 - 3:15 pm EST MONTREAL, Quebec (LifeSiteNews) — A historic Catholic church in Montreal, Canada, was reduced to near rubble in a huge blaze, the cause of which investigators still have not determined. The over 100-year-old Saint-Paul Catholic Church in Montreal, Quebec, went up in flames on February 23. A food bank next to it was also reduced to ashes. The church was built in 1910 and holds significant historical meaning for the local community. While the church has been vacant for some time, about 148 people had to flee the area due to the flames, including over 70 seniors who lived in a nearby care home. The cause of the church fire, say investigators, is not yet known; however, it comes at a time when arson attacks on Catholic churches in Canada have reached epidemic-like proportions. Mayor of the local borough of Saint-Paul’s, Véronique Fournier, in a statement on social media, said the fire is “challenging for the residents of Côte-Saint-Paul” as the church has …
Today, Leo XIV received a delegation from the ecumenical 'World Council of Churches', reports Oikoumene.org. The delegation included the German lay bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, the Armenian archbishop Vicken Aykazian, the Baptist preacher Merlyn Hyde Riley, and the Protestant preacher Jerry Pillay. According to Pillay, Leo XIV stressed "the need for visible Christian unity, recognising the challenges this presents even within the Roman Catholic Church due to the existence of different and diverse views". Pillay said that Leo XIV affirmed that, "while our task is not to build a Christendom yet Christians must work together in unity to heal and restore the world". After the audience, German Bedford-Strohm told Kna.de that Leo XIV had "wholeheartedly agreed upon the necessity to move us towards visible unity". They also agreed that the Christian faith should not be used for political purposes: "Whether it is about aggressive invasion, chasing migrants or oppressing whole groups of people …More
Zusammenfassung des Textes: Der Text kritisiert die Verabschiedung des Pandemietreats durch die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) und besorgt sich insbesondere die PABS-Annex (Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing Annex). Diese Annex ist ein zentrales Instrument, das die Macht der WHO stärkt und die Souveränität der Nationen untergräbt. Hauptpunkte der Kritik: Die WHO versucht, eine globale Governance-Struktur zu etablieren, die die nationalen Gesetze überschreitet. Die PABS-Annex ermöglicht es der WHO, pathogenen Proben und medizinischen Daten zu kontrollieren, und erlaubt es, „Notfallsituationen“ zu deklarieren, die nationale Gesetze überschreiben. Es wird kritisiert, dass die PABS-Annex die Souveränität der Nationen untergräbt, unabhängige Regierungen aus der Entscheidungsfindung verdrängt und die Macht auf globale Institutionen verlagert. Die Kritiker warnen davor, dass die PABS-Annex die Macht der WHO dauerhaft vergrößert und die Rechte der Bürger einschränkt. Der Text fordert, …More

Today, Leo XIV issued new statutes for the Pontifical Academy for Life. These will be in place for five years. The Academy now consists of a Presidency, a Central Office, Members (Accademici) and Supporters (Sostenitori). The introduction of supporters is the main structural novelty. Membership Without "Religious Discrimination" Leo XIV largely confirms the destruction that occurred during Francis's reign in 2016. At that time, Francis abolished the requirement for members to sign a formal pro-life oath. He broadened the concept of 'pro-life' to encompass ecology, migration and global health. Non-Catholics, as well as people with different bioethical views, could become members. Article 6 §5(a) explicitly states that members are chosen regardless of religion. Paper Tiger As before, Article 6 §5(e) still reaffirms that members can be removed for publicly contradicting Church teaching. However, these statutes are not enforced. Two notable figures are the current president, Monsignor …More
At the Sunday Angelus in St. Peter’s Square, Leo XIV voiced deep concern over the escalating violence involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. He warned that the situation could lead to “a tragedy of enormous proportions” if hostilities continue. “Stability and peace are not built through mutual threats, nor through weapons,” Leo XIV said, stressing that only “reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue” can bring lasting peace. He urged all parties to assume their moral responsibility and halt the spiral of violence before it becomes an “irreparable abyss”. Calling for diplomacy to regain its central role, he emphasized the need to promote justice and peaceful coexistence. #newsWizrkaihsy
Classic speech of UN pope or actually unpope. Yeah, how about Christians in China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and so many other places- is their Pope only in Heaven?
So I will do what I always do and post it here in description. Hundreds killed by US-Israeli attacks on Iran as … I just saw something about this: Trump says Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead And if it's true. we better be prepared for anything to happen. It's said by those I follow that killing him is like killing the Pope and the head of the church of England etc. But I think it will be much worse..

The Apostolic understanding, that is the understanding of those who knew Him during his sojourn on Earth and to whom he promised "the spirit of truth who will tell you all things", Jesus is fully man and fully God, existing before all time of the same substance as God the Father and incarnate at a specific time as Jesus Christ. That is more than a prophet, more than a man and more than a teacher. Goodness, there have been hundreds who met those three criteria in history.

An inspiring but sad read about the "Cursed Soldiers." Something to consider as the US government becomes more anti-Catholic. Eternal rest grant unto them O' Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the divine assistance remain always with us, and may the souls of the faithful, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace!
Biblia mówi o karze za grzechy ojców spadającej na potomków do trzeciego pokolenia. To właściwe podejście do sprawiedliwości! Tysiące ludzi zostało zamordowanych przez komunistów w latach powojennych. Żołnierze wyklęci byli inwigilowani przez zdrajców. Biorąc pod uwagę, że do złapania jednego potrzeba było kilku donosicieli, mamy do czynienia z setkami tysięcy zdrajców. Otrzymywali oni, oprócz bieżących nagród, także inne formy gloryfikacji za swoją judaszową zdradę: stanowiska, lepszą pracę czy duże gospodarstwa na ziemiach zachodnich, jeśli zdecydowali się tam wyjechać. Rodziny żołnierzy wyklętych często musiały uciekać, bo odebrano im majątki, możliwość pracy i godność. Nawet Kościół przyczynił się do ich stygmatyzacji, gdy w 1950 roku episkopat nazwał ich bandytami, dając moralne usprawiedliwienie zdrady i uśmiercania ostatnich rycerzy Rzeczypospolitej. Dodajmy, że byli to ludzie głęboko wierzący, często noszący ryngraf z wizerunkiem Matki Bożej na piersi.
