Israeli police prevented two of the most senior Catholic leaders in the Holy Land - Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem, and Father Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land - from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. Lpj.org announced that they were stopped while traveling to the church, where they were scheduled to celebrate the Eucharist on Palm Sunday. They were required to turn back, despite not participating in any public gathering. As a result, the church leaders were unable to preside over the Palm Sunday liturgy. This is unprecedented in modern times. The Latin Patriarchate added they had complied with all restrictions imposed since the outbreak of the ongoing conflict, including canceling public gatherings and arranging for services to be broadcast to the faithful worldwide. They characterized the decision to block access as “unreasonable” and “disproportionate”. #newsTjnhyvbccs
Also: The Orthodox Palm Sunday liturgy in 2026 (April 5) featuring Patriarch Theophilos III at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is effectively cancelled for the public. Due to ongoing war, the church is closed to worshippers, with only limited, private rites by clergy allowed. The Palm Sunday procession is canceled, and access to the Old City is severely restricted. Emergency Access Issues: Officials noted that the Old City's narrow, complex terrain makes it difficult for large emergency and rescue vehicles to reach the area quickly in a mass casualty event. Closure of Holy Sites: Israeli authorities had ordered the closure of all holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City since late February 2026 to prevent large gatherings during the conflict. Lack of Bomb Shelters: Police specifically highlighted that sites like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre lack standard bomb shelters required by Home Front Command guidelines to ensure public safety during potential attacks.

Mar 29 Bishop Joseph Strickland defends Carrie Prejean Boller We all know at this point that Carrie Prejean Boller was kicked out of the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission. And for what? For expressing Catholic thinking out loud. Bishop Joseph Strickland has come to her rescue in an X post. He reminds us that any “opposition to political Zionism is inherently antisemitic” isn't true nor anti-Catholic. She questioned the meaning of antisemitism and if it included criticism of political Zionism and what has happened in Gaza. Isn't the Commission about religious liberty? We wonder if Bishop Barron and former Archbishop Timothy Dolan are paying attention. The two are on the Commission but have chosen to remain silent when Boller was abruptly ousted for her remarks. Here's Bishop Strickland's instructive statement regarding Mrs. Mar 28 Canada has become a post-nation state based on lies Recall when PM Justin Trudeau stated that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values? Yes …
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, has defended his decisions to restrict the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to only one location and to prohibit the use any tools for kneeling at Communion. In an interview with AmericaMagazine.org on 26 March, he began with a thinly veiled dismissal of Catholics attached to the Roman rite: "I don't want to say that they're some sort of lunatic fringe. They're not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there's goodness and holiness in that." Leo XIV Would Not Change what Francis Has Done Monsignor Martin referred to his responsibility as a bishop to maintain fidelity to the Church’s "norms". He framed his cruel decisions, especially those relating to the Traditional Latin Mass, as an act of obedience: "All I did was implement Traditionis Custodes in the Diocese of Charlotte." The bishop rejected the idea of extending the existing Masses indefinitely without a clear pastoral plan to end them: "If we need …More
Reports indicate Saudi Arabia is now aligning with U.S. and Israeli operations following Iranian strikes on regional bases. If confirmed, this marks a major escalation: • A U.S.-Israel operation becomes a wider coalition war • Multiple Gulf states now directly involved • Iran facing pressure from several fronts at once • The risk of full regional conflict just surged
It was American and British interests in 1953 that made sure the autocratic Shaw had power. A little history helps to explain the animosity many have for the American empire. Who is the real bully?

La donación de órganos es un pecado mortal y el robo de los mismos también. A Noelia la confundieron y se aprovecharon de su estado depresivo, la llevaron al suicidio, causado por el robo de sus órganos. Nunca la defendieron de sus violadores ni la ayudaron a recuperarse de su tristeza e impotencia ante sus victimarios. Asesinos y criminales que serán juzgados por el Mismo Jesucristo. No se escapan!

King of Orleans and Burgundy in 561. Married to Mercatrude. Peacemaker. He divorced Mercatrude; some time later she became seriously ill, and when her physician could not cure her, he had the doctor murdered.

Protector of the oppressed, care-giver to the sick, tender parent to his subjects, open with alms, especially during plague and famine.

SUED by Epstein Survivors in HISTORIC CASE In breaking news, a historic first-ever class action lawsuit brought by the Epstein Survivors has been filed against the Administration (for disclosing the personal identifying information of survivors) and Google (for profiting from it on its search engine). Popok dissects the new suit and demonstrates that the filing also means that the Government, busy settling with Jan6 insurrectionists and convicted perjurers, refused to compensate victims for the outing of their identities in the Epstein Files Release, requiring it to be sued in the case.

On 18 March, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the City of Hamilton was justified in rejecting a transit advertisement by the Christian Heritage Party, which defined “woman” as “an adult human female.” The city argued that the message could make public transport feel unsafe for transvestites. The ad was originally submitted in January 2023, and a lower court had already upheld the decision in November 2024.
Thu Mar 26, 2026 - 5:17 pm EDTFri Mar 27, 2026 - 7:54 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — On March 18, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the City of Hamilton was within its rights to reject the Christian Heritage Party’s proposed transgender shelter ads that featured a smiling young woman and the dictionary definition “Woman: An Adult Human Female” – because the ad could render the public transit system unsafe. The ad was submitted by the Christian Heritage Party (CHP) in January 2023 and was rejected, as were requests for an explanation. In July 2024, the city finally sent CHP a five-page letter detailing their decision after the political party’s legal counsel sent them a request. The City of Hamilton’s lawyer claimed that the ad had been rejected after lengthy consultation with “local members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, academic literature,” and trans activist Jelena Vermilion. The city actually told the CBC that the ad – again, simply citing the dictionary definition of “woman” – …
