Fourteen thousand people registered in a single day for the 2026 Notre-Dame de Chrétienté pilgrimage on the Paris–Chartres route, compared to 6,000 on the first day last year. The pilgrimage will take place over Pentecost, from May 23 to 25, and is expected to gather 20,000 participants walking to Chartres. A new, more accessible option - the “Jerusalem Route” - has been introduced. Shorter than the traditional 100 km walk (around 70 km), it is designed for those unable to complete the full distance. Like the main route, it also ends in Chartres, allowing more pilgrims to take part in the final stages of the pilgrimage. #newsChiagvdgui

Bishop Robert Barron has spoken out against criticism of his appearance at last week's White House Easter Lunch: 'In regard to the event at the White House, I had absolutely no control over what the other ministers said. My own contribution was focused on Jesus and the events of Holy Week--and I prayed for the country and that the President would govern according to God's will. To draw the conclusion that I am some mindless supporter of the MAGA movement is a calumny'
Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.
EMTY SEATS: Catholic Traveler had a video on X.com from yesterday's Easter Night Eucharist with Leo XIV. Screenshots (fair use)
@sp2 I see your point and you could be correct. The published pic on this site showed less than a dozen empty seats which were probably in the back of the church. Unfortunately, too many media-types on both sides of any issue are inclined to push a narrative rather than inform their readers.
I was looking at 6:12, also in the dark at 22:24 In the dark, there are some areas without candle light, but to claim it's "Hundreds"....... for crying out loud....... the original post is trying to present it to be an MT house. Is the originator of the post an instigator? Don't be like Francis and say partial truths to present a point........ I want the whole picture.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20,11-18. Mary Magdalene stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where they laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni," which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary of …Zvimwe
The Ukrainian leader honored the top EU diplomat for supporting forced mobilization, corruption, and church raids, Russia has said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has received a prominent Ukrainian award for encouraging prolonged fighting, forced mobilization, and supporting a crackdown on the country’s largest Christian denomination, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has said. Earlier this week, Zelensky decorated Kallas – widely regarded as an anti-Russia hawk – with the Order of Princess Olga, as the two discussed EU support for Kiev. Princess Olga of the Kievan Rus was the first Christian ruler of the realm, establishing contact with Byzantium in the 10th century and paving the way for the mass baptism of Rus under her grandson Prince Vladimir in 988 AD. Kallas said she was honored by the award, adding that “Ukraine has been on my mind every day since Russia started its war of aggression.” She acknowledged, however, that she had no positive update for Kiev …Zvimwe
[St. Anthony of Padua XII-XIII Century AD; Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/Padua, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 35); powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick; canonized less than a year after his death; Doctor of the Church] 9 ~ St. Saint Anthony Consoler of persecuted Women St. Anthony always took a great interest in women in- distress, or persecuted, and they therefore look on him as their special protector. Among those who, owing to the sanctity of the Franciscans, held them in great veneration and aided them in their daily wants, was a lady who suffered much from a jealous and irritable husband. One evening, after finishing some work and making some purchases for the Brothers, finding it too late to take them to the monastery that night, she took them home with her. This so greatly roused the anger and jealousy of her husband that, not content with loading her with reproaches, he pulled almost all her hair off her head. The poor …Zvimwe
"12 ~ The Carved Capon St. Anthony was one day invited by a party of heretics to come to dine with them, in order, as they said, to give them the opportunity of laughing at his stupidity. He good-naturedly accepted their invitation. After sit ting down to table a large bat, such as are found in Sicily, was served up to him, with the request to carve it. When, without being the least disconcerted, he began to do so, they could hardly refrain from laughing aloud; but soon their laughter was changed into astonishment, for hardly had the saint begun to carve the wretched bird before it was changed into a magnificent capon, emitting the most delicious smell. This miracle so completely changed their hearts that they not only acknowledged the power of the servant of God, but renounced their errors and were received into the Church.”
During today’s Regina Caeli prayer, Leo XIV paid tribute to his predecessor for his “great witness of faith and love.” Francis died on Easter Monday last year (April 21, 2025) at the age of 88. Leo XIV said, “In the light of the Risen Lord, we remember Pope Francis today with special affection.” Fittingly, he warned that the truth is often obscured by fake news, “that is, by lies, insinuations, and unfounded suspicions.” #newsTqowhltbxb

Now he wants to back off. And once again talking about....... TAKING THE OIL! It was all about the oil. Just like Venezuela. He learned a lesson with Iran. Never underestimate the power of a country, you know absolutely nothing about. And to attack because you thought it was weak. Knowing full well it had no nuclear weapons nor desire to own them. Killed many innocent children and people for his greed and that of bibi. And all those civilian buildings destroyed. Sorry link wasn't working and I had to remove it.

04/07/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Monday, April 6, 2026. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it had attacked the landing ship “Tripoli,” which can carry up to 2,500 marines, with missiles. There is no information available regarding possible damage to the ship. Following the attack, the ship retreated southward and moved away from the Iranian coast. One could say that it employed the “Abraham Lincoln” strategy. The next U.S. warship, built as a deterrent, is turning its propeller and hastily leaving the conflict zone. The proponents of the American defense shield have fallen silent. As the myth of U.S. invincibility crumbles and the previous strategy—hiring U.S. military units to secure borders against an imaginary enemy—even the greatest statesmen of the caliber of Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz, or Keir Starmer—who have always been pathetic puppets of the globalists—distance themselves, at the behest of Davos, from the pathetic policies of the pro-Zionist …
Prevost stands outside the Church for two reasons: because he supports a heretic—thereby incurring automatic excommunication—and because the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has decreed that such ordinations are invalid, and that those who maintain the contrary are outside the Church.
I agree that the Fraternity should ordain a thousand bishops. However, it is necessary to resolve the problem regarding the illegitimacy of the apostate and Pachamama-worshipper, Robert Prevost. For, just as Anglican orders are invalid—and, indeed, the very notion of a female bishop is impossible—the Church has decreed, through the *Professio Fidei* of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: "Whoever denies these truths would place himself in the position of rejecting a truth of Catholic doctrine and, consequently, would cease to be in full communion with the Catholic Church." This demonstrates that, due both to his prior apostasy and his obstinacy in heresy, he is not—nor can he be—the Pope; just as an Anglican heretic cannot be a bishop.
Estoy de acuerdo en que la Fraternidad debería ordenar a mil obispos. Sin embargo, es necesario resolver el problema relativo a la ilegitimidad del apóstata y adorador de la Pachamama, Robert Prevost. Pues, del mismo modo que las órdenes anglicanas son inválidas —y, de hecho, la noción misma de una mujer obispo es imposible—, la Iglesia ha decretado, a través de la Professio Fidei de la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe: «Quien negare estas verdades se situaría en la posición de rechazar una verdad de la doctrina católica y, por consiguiente, dejaría de estar en plena comunión con la Iglesia católica». Esto demuestra que, debido tanto a su previa apostasía como a su obstinación en la herejía, él no es —ni puede ser— el Papa; del mismo modo que una hereje anglicana no puede ser obispa.
Acts of the Apostles 2,36-41. On the day of Pentecost, Peter said to the Jewish people, "Let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified." Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call." He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day. Psalms 33(32),4-5.18-19.20.22. Upright is the word of the LORD, and all his works are trustworthy.

Apostelgeschichte 2,14a.36-41. Am Pfingsttag trat Petrus auf, zusammen mit den Elf; er erhob seine Stimme und begann zu reden: Mit Gewissheit erkenne das ganze Haus Israel: Gott hat ihn zum Herrn und Christus gemacht, diesen Jesus, den ihr gekreuzigt habt. Als sie das hörten, traf es sie mitten ins Herz und sie sagten zu Petrus und den übrigen Aposteln: Was sollen wir tun, Brüder? Petrus antwortete ihnen: Kehrt um und jeder von euch lasse sich auf den Namen Jesu Christi taufen zur Vergebung eurer Sünden; dann werdet ihr die Gabe des Heiligen Geistes empfangen. Denn euch und euren Kindern gilt die Verheißung und all denen in der Ferne, die der Herr, unser Gott, herbeirufen wird. Mit noch vielen anderen Worten beschwor und ermahnte er sie: Lasst euch retten aus diesem verdorbenen Geschlecht! Die nun, die sein Wort annahmen, ließen sich taufen.
