Papa Leo XIV

Very sobering. I suppose God is giving extra time to those who WILL convert though. And the number who will convert depends upon our prayers and sacrifices, which is why Mary keeps coming and begging us to pray.

 

The more we know about Mary the more we admire her. The perfect mother. I particularly admire for being the perfect mother to the greatest sinners. She never ever gives up.

 

Apparently the Chastisement will not come until things are at there worst. The question is what exactly worst means. I dread to think, as if now is not bad enough.

I take it, 'worst' means as regard the Church.

 

He has a nice smile. He dresses better. He uses the proper living quarters. He has not given any en flight press conferences. He is American.

None of this is substantive.

 

And God created her that way. That's the best part, in my eyes. He loves us so much that He created Mary to mother us and never give up on us. He gave her those qualities.

And it's her profound humility and littleness that crushes Satan beneath her foot. Her perfect submission to the Will of God.

 

Plus she is an ordinary human being like ourselves. As Dante said, 'Our Tainted natures solitary boast'

The exorcists tell us that is why Satan hates her so much. Her humility raises her up just as his pride defeats him. He is Satan's Polar opposite.

 

Thank you for posting this. Some friends and one priest from our parish went on this pilgrimage. I didn't realise it was that epic until I saw your footage.

 

It is remarkable. Compare it to the Synod on Synodality meetings in Rome. Who enjoys endless, endless, endless meetings? Meetings that are bankrupting the Church and which Pope Leo is committed to maintaining. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Endless talk.

 

In my opinion, and this is just my opinion so it’s worth very little, but God has placed any future intervention at the time which will save the most souls. I like to think that out of all possible universes, this is the one where the most people were saved.

 

Yes, thank you so much for posting this. My family has been attending an SSPX-chapel for five years now. I was not aware of some of the history until you posted this beautiful video. God bless

 

Let's give the Pope some space in his efforts in his efforts to prevent further splintering of the Church. We need unity now more than ever.

You posted a lovely video of the SSPX in the Vatican. I've just watch part of a John Henry Westen Video where he makes a big deal of the Vatican website removing reference to the SSPX pilgrimage while including reference to some Italian LBGTQ pilgrimage to take place next week. Isn't it more important that the SSPX getting permission to offer the TLM Mass in the Vatican is evidence of steps towards full reconciliation? If John Henry is looking for more clicks he's on a winner because I expect that the LBGTQ pilgrimage will be plastered all over the media. John Henry will be able to let everyone see that he wasn't fooled by Vatican hypocrisy. You'll be outraged and so will lots of other faithful Catholics. What good does that do? Whose interests does it serve?

If the traditionalist movement really wants reconciliation, full inclusion and more influence inside the Church, it needs to get its spokesmen to row back on the criticism and learn some diplomacy. Undermining the papacy serves no useful purpose. It only fosters further division.

 

Do we really, really need unity, 'More than anything'?. Unity with whom and with what? Why would we want unity with people who are openly heretical and Apostate and Perverts? If we had a time machine and could fly back in time would we have wanted unity with people like Martin Luther and co?

I do not believe it is undermining the Papacy to ask reasonable questions about what is going on. Anymore than it was and is reasonable to ask questions about sexual abuse.
As St Paul pointed out good should not be unequally yoked with evil. This was the error the Anglican Sect made, trying to be all things to all people.

 

A good priest once told me that John Henry’s website was basically a Catholic tabloid. I’d avoid it.

If we’re going to judge Leo XIV for not getting rid of all the wicked Cardinals and Bishops then we also must judge every pope since John XXIII since they did exactly the same thing.

 

Indeed. All Popes from the very first Cardinal. Sauce for goose sauce for the gander.

Matthew 18:15-17,

“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”

 

We only have a very short time on Earth and then we wind up in either heaven or hell for all eternity. I am afraid people have forgotten this and lost all sense of urgency. We don't get a second chance at all this, only the one bite of the apple.

But clearly very many no longer believe in hell or even in sin or the reality of the devil.

They float in pink clouds of niceness.

'From such withdraw yourself. He does not say, engage and contend with them, but withdraw yourself, turn away from them; as elsewhere he says, A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject. Titus 3:10 He shows that they do not so much err from ignorance, as they owe their ignorance to their indolence. Those who are contentious for the sake of money you will never persuade. They are only to be persuaded, so long as you give, and even so you will never satisfy their desires. For it is said, The covetous man's eye is not satisfied with a portion. Sirach 14:9 From such then, as being incorrigible, it is right to turn away. And if he who had much obligation to fight for the truth, is advised not to engage in contention with such men, much more should we avoid it, who are in the situation of disciples.'
St John Crysosetum

Pope Leo meets LGBTQ+ Catholic advocate and vows continuity with Pope Francis’ legacy of welcome

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV met Monday with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church and encouraged his ministry, just days before a planned Holy Year pilgrimage of LGBTQ+ Catholics to the Vatican in a sign of continued welcome.

The Rev. James Martin, a New York-based Jesuit author and editor, said Leo told him he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.

“I heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people,” Martin told The Associated Press after the audience. “It was wonderful. It was very consoling and very encouraging and frankly a lot of fun.”

The meeting, which lasted about a half-hour, was officially announced by the Vatican in a sign that Leo wanted it made public.

The audience was significant because it showed a strong sign of continuity with Francis, who more than any of Leo’s predecessors worked to make the Catholic Church a more welcoming place for LGBTQ+ Catholics. From his 2013 quip, “Who am I to judge?” about a purportedly gay priest, to his decision to allow priests to bless same-sex couples, Francis distinguished himself with his message of welcome.

During his 12-year papacy from 2013 to 2025, Francis met on several occasions with Martin and named him an adviser in the Vatican’s communications department and a member of his big multi-year meeting on the future of the church. Still, Francis never changed church teaching saying homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.”

something of a question. Soon after he was elected in May, remarks surfaced from 2012 in which the future pope, then known as the Rev. Robert Prevost, criticized the “homosexual lifestyle” and the role of mass media in promoting acceptance of same-sex relationships that conflicted with Catholic doctrine.

When he became a cardinal in 2023, Catholic News Service asked Prevost if his views had changed. He acknowledged Francis’ call for a more inclusive church, saying Francis “made it very clear that he doesn’t want people to be excluded simply on the basis of choices that they make, whether it be lifestyle, work, way to dress, or whatever.”

Prevost then underlined that doctrine had not changed.

“But we are looking to be more welcoming and more open and to say all people are welcome in the church,” he said.

Martin, who knew Prevost from their time working together in the synod on the church’s future, said he wasn’t worried about Leo’s views given Martin always had found him to be “a very open, welcoming, inclusive person.”

“But it’s wonderful to hear this continuation,” Martin said, adding that Leo told him his priorities are to work for peace and unity, citing in particular the conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and Myanmar.

“But he also wanted to remind people that this is a church for ‘todos, todos, totos,’” Martin said, quoting Francis’ famous line in Spanish about how the church is open to everyone, todos.

Martin helped found Outreach, a ministry promoting LGBTQ+ acceptance, which will participate in a big Holy Year pilgrimage Friday and Saturday sponsored by Italian LGBTQ+ Catholic group “Jonathan’s Tent.” Significantly, the pilgrimage of about 1,200 people includes a Mass at the Jesuit church in Rome celebrated by the second-highest member of the Italian bishop’s conference.

The pilgrimage is not officially sponsored by the Vatican, but is listed on the Vatican’s calendar of Holy Year events. Vatican officials say such a listing doesn’t signify endorsement, but is merely a logistical help to those groups that wish to organize pilgrimages and walk through the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica.

But the pilgrimage and Martin’s audience nevertheless send a signal that is consistent with church teaching “that Jesus reaches out to people on the margins,” Martin said.

The message he received from Leo was “that if people were happy with Pope Francis’ approach to LGBTQ Catholics, they’re going to be happy with Pope Leo’s approach. And he asked me to continue what I’m doing, which was very encouraging,” Martin said.

 

Lwt

Very, very concerning. There is no such thing as an alphabet Catholic. identifying as a letter from the alphabet to smokescreen your perversion is a Demonic deception.

The smoke of satan has darkened the intellect of many at the Vatican.

The loss of belief in mortal sin inside the church is actually frightening. How far we have fallen.
