The Gospel on Divine Mercy Sunday is St John’s account of the spiritually wounded Thomas who would not know peace until surrendering his wounds to the Risen Christ.
Leo XIV received Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda, S.J., Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and Grand Master Fra’ John Timothy Dunlap on April 10 to address ongoing issues related to the Order’s constitutional reform. According to CatholicHerald.com, the meeting focused on the Order’s revised Constitutional Charter, drafted under Ghirlanda’s supervision. The reform remains controversial as it reshapes the balance between the Order’s sovereignty and Vatican oversight. Leo XIV first met both men together before holding separate discussions. Previous reports had suggested that Cardinal Ghirlanda - appointed by Pope Francis in June 2023 with broad reform powers - could be replaced, possibly by Cardinal Arthur Roche or Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Nico Spuntoni wrote that the audience aimed to review specific constitutional articles and update related regulations. He added that a leadership change may become likely once Ghirlanda’s mandate ends. The Order remains unique as both a …More
Pro-homosexual Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich has warned that the idea of female ordination would "currently" split the Church. In an interview with VaticanNews.va on 10 April, Cardinal Hollerich referred to the divisions within the Anglican group following the appointment of Sarah Mullally. According to the cardinal, any [impossible] change in access to ordained ministry must come through “the consensus of the whole Church,” not through isolated regional decisions. However, Hollerich claimed a growing frustration among “many” women. For him it is difficult to imagine a Church enduring long-term if “half of the People of God suffer because they have no access to ordained ministry.” Asked about a possible timeline, Cardinal Hollerich said: “I leave that to the Holy Spirit.” In the meantime, he wants to expanding women’s roles in decision-making within the Church. He has three women serving as episcopal delegates in his Archdiocese for consecrated life, the social sector,…More
From dogmatic book fron 1934 3. The recipient of the sacrament of Holy Orders. Proposition. Only a baptized man may validly receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. Argument. Baptism is the gateway to the other sacraments; it would not be proper for someone to be elevated to the dignity of the priesthood of Christ who is not even a member of the universal priesthood of Christ. More significantly, this is the only New Testament sacrament from which women are excluded. This is a distinctive feature of revealed religion in contrast to natural religions, which not only admit women to the priesthood but even give them priority in many cases.

This is the priest who died on the Titanic to hear confessions and administer last rites. Given the opportunity to board a lifeboat on two separate occasions, Father Thomas Byles firmly declined. He chose instead to stay behind, absolving sins and consoling the doomed passengers. Following the vessel's collision with the iceberg, he assembled the remaining crowds on the aft deck. Those who lived through the disaster recalled him standing bravely amid the panic, listening to confessions, granting collective absolution, and reciting the Rosary right up until the ocean claimed the stern. This is the type of story we should elevate, heroic virtue. May the Lord bless us with more holy men possessing the courage of Father Thomas Byles.
I was just mentioning him to my coworkers recently! What a true hero! Those locked in steerage were blessed to have the last rites! It was better for them to save their souls then end up losing them in the States! My blood boils when I think of those Catholics being murdered!
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Joseph de Metz-Noblat as the Bishop of Verdun in France. Born on 6 February 1959 in Cherbourg, he studied civil law, philosophy, and theology. He obtained a licentiate in canon law from the Institut Catholique de Paris, and was ordained as a priest for the Diocese of Verdun in 1987. Leo XIV seems to favor the appointment of pro-homosexual canon lawyers. Public Profile In 2014, Francis appointed Monsignor Metz-Noblat as Bishop of the little-known diocese of Langres, in eastern France. The anti-Catholic magazine Golias described him once as "turning to literature... and terribly bored". He avoids the limelight and is reluctant to take strong public positions. However, he has been involved in one controversy: the baptism register reform in the French church. 2018 Proposal In December 2018, as president of the French bishops’ Council for questions of Canon Law, Bishop Metz-Noblat proposed changing baptismal records from 'father/mother' to 'parents or …More

Jesus said “Take and Eat” Most Catholics tell Jesus:“Heck no, I don’t have to obey you Jesus said “Take and Eat” Most Catholics tell Jesus:“Heck no, I know a better way. I will open my mouth and stick out my tongue.”
I guess the Roman Catholic Church was wrong and disobedient then throughout most of her history. And all the Eastern Churches are wrong and disobedient for using various forms of intinction and spoons and forbidding Eastern Catholics from touching the Eucharist with their hands, too. Doctors of the Church, the Early Church Fathers, popes, saints, and encyclicals throughout most of the Church's history were wrong, because they interpreted receiving on the tongue or directly in the mouth as "taking". Well, in that case I'm glad we have the extremely wise and prudent and charitable @chris griffin here, on this online forum, to tell us what the saints and popes and Fathers of the Church and Doctors of the Church were too ignorant to teach us, and to tell us about how we are being prideful for insisting on not desecrating the Eucharist with our hands.

Saturday, April 11 – Saturday in Albis – Saint Leo I the Great, Pope, Confessor and Doctor – Saint Gemma Galgani, Virgin – Blessed Angelo of Chivasso, Confessor, First Franciscan Order
Samedi in Albis – Station à Saint-Jean de Latran – Vous tous qui avez été baptisés dans le Christ, vous avez revêtu le Christ. Au sortir de la fontaine, les néophytes avaient reçu un vêtement blanc, symbole des effets du baptême dans leur âme : ‘Vous tous qui avez été baptisés, vous vous êtes revêtus de Jésus-Christ’ (Com.). Ils le conservaient jusqu’à ce jour qui porte le nom de « Samedi où l’on dépose les vêtements blancs », parce que, réunis à S. Jean de Latran, on leur retirait alors leur robe baptismale. L’Église en voyant rassemblés autour d’elle « ces enfants nouveau-nés » (Ép.) leur demande par la bouche de S. Pierre, son chef, de boire toujours le lait spirituel et pur de la vraie doctrine. Et dans cette basilique, dédiée au S. Sauveur, elle leur rappelle que leurs âmes sont les pierres vivantes d’un édifice spirituel dont le Christ est la pierre d’angle. L’Évangile montre aussi le Prince des Apôtres qui, avant S. Jean, constate la Résurrection de Jésus, …
Professor Norman Finkelstein: “Israel is now a madman.” “It didn’t get its way with Iran, and so it is totally destroying Lebanon now.” “It is in a state of catatonic lunacy.” “I’ve said this for years. Now it’s the consensus.” “Israel is a lunatic state. A lunatic society.”
