Leo XIV invokes Europe’s Christian roots in defence of human rights and migration. Pope Leo XIV offered a sweeping account of European civilisation and its future in a September 28 landmark speech at the Robert Schuman Congress Centre in Metz, France. Speaking on “The Roots of Europe for Peace and Unity,” Leo XIV’s argument was, at its deepest level, anthropological: Europe’s future depends upon its understanding of the human person. Leo XIV began with Europe’s Greek, Roman and Christian inheritance, but emphasised that “European civilization is also the fruit of centuries-long encounters.” He specifically cited “the presence of Arab culture in the Iberian Peninsula.” He then turned to the contribution of Benedictine monasticism. After recalling its role in caring for the poor, sick and elderly, as well as in universities, hospitals, medicine, science, architecture, law and political organisation, he declared: “Without this monastic tradition, European civilization as we know it would …Lebih
At a moment in history when relations between nations "are becoming increasingly barbaric," dialogue and multilateralism remain "the best antidote to the desire for domination, which lies at the root of every conflict," Pope Leo XIV said.
4000 Years Anniversary of 8 Martyrs’ Martyrs’ Shrine celebration scheduled for Sept. 26, 2026 Canadian Martyrs’ feast marks 400 years of faith
HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICAEight Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons were ritually tortured and killed on various dates between 1642-49 in Canada, in what is now southern Ontario, and in upstate New York, during the warfare between the Iroquioan tribes the Mohawk and the Huron. They have subsequently been canonized and venerated as "the Canadian martyrs by the Catholic Church" (René Goupil, Isaac Jogues, Jean de Lalande, Antoine Daniel, Jean de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, Charles Garnier, Noël Chabanel) .

By the way did you read one of my last posts what I wrote? Speaking to my SSPX Priest after Mass on Sunday, he told me they are planning on sending more Priests to Russia! We talked about the two in Moscow and Saint Petersburg briefly but didn't get a chance to talk about building bigger Chapels and Church's in Russia. Thank GOD for President Putin who not only approves of such things but encourages them. While in Ukraine they are destroying Church's and paying the Priests off to work on their side. If not they are jailed, the Church's confiscated or destroyed. I posted about several of those things before. Last year ago I posted how a million or more Russians converted and that was done a couple of years ago at least. But they are going to what I call the protestant/Catholic Church's, because there are not enough SSPX in Russia. Except for the one in front of the Kremlin who holds only one Latin Mass a day or week. We need more SSPX in Russia. I hope everyone is praying for more SSPX …Lebih
Why would I be angry with the Ukraine desperately trying to rid their country of the Russian invaders? The Ukraine has every right to protect their country and the Greek Ukrainian Catholic Church. And as stupid as the idea is, that salvation will come from the East, it won't come from the Schismatics or CCCP! It could possibly come from the Ukrainian Catholic Church since there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church.
Pope Leo XIV spent nearly the entire cruise from Lourdes to Metz in the cockpit of Air France’s A321 — about 30 minutes. Copilot Érik Margueritte says the aviation-minded pope asked numerous questions about the aircraft and its systems. When two French Rafales flew alongside, the crew handed Leo the radio. He spoke directly to the fighter pilots, blessing them and military personnel working to protect people and promote peace worldwide.
All for the show: In the - recorded - cockpit of Air France's Airbus A321, the pope exchanges with the crew during the flight between Lourdes and Metz. An exceptional moment up close with the pilots, between aviation, sharing, and emotion.
Every Trial Is A Battle For Heaven God allows bad things to happen to help us grow in virtue and holiness. While Satan aims to destroy us, God uses these challenges to strengthen our faith and prepare us for eternity. By cooperating with God’s grace and rejecting Satan’s temptations, we can overcome difficulties and ultimately choose heaven over hell. Fr.

Why is the Holy Word of God, in the Holy Scriptures a Fierce Weapon of God? 1) John 1:1; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) Revelation 19:12; His eyes are like a flame of fire; His Name is “The Word of God.” 3) Revelation 19:15; From His mouth comes a sharp Sword to strike down the nations. 4) Hebrews 4:12-13; Indeed, the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even between the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, joints and marrow, and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Nothing in the unseen realm is hidden from it; everything is laid bare and exposed before the eyes of the One to whom we must give an account. 5) Ephesians 6:17; The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. 6) John 6:63; The Words I have spoken to you are Spirit and are Life. 7) Psalm 33:6; By the Word of Yahweh the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth. 8) Psalm 33:9; …Lebih
Dlaczego Święte Słowo Boże zawarte w Piśmie Świętym jest potężną bronią Boga? 1) Ewangelia św. Jana 1:1; Na początku było Słowo, a Słowo było u Boga, i tym Słowem był Bóg. 2) Apokalipsa św. Jana 19:12; Jego oczy są jak płomień ognia; Jego imię brzmi: „Słowo Boże”. 3) Objawienie 19:15; Z Jego ust wychodzi ostry miecz, by uderzyć narody. 4) List do Hebrajczyków 4:12-13; Słowo Boże jest bowiem żywe i skuteczne, ostrzejsze niż jakikolwiek miecz obosieczny. Przenika aż do rozdzielenia duszy od ducha, do stawów i szpiku, i osądza myśli oraz zamiary serca. Nic w sferze niewidzialnej nie jest przed Nim ukryte; wszystko jest obnażone i odsłonięte przed oczami Tego, przed którym musimy zdać sprawę. 5) List do Efezjan 6:17; Miecz Ducha, którym jest Słowo Boże. 6) Ewangelia według św. Jana 6:63; Słowa, które wam powiedziałem, są Duchem i są Życiem. 7) Psalm 33:6; Słowem Jahwe zostały stworzone niebiosa, a całe ich zastępy – tchnieniem Jego ust. 8) Psalm 33:9; Nic nie może się oprzeć Jego głosowi. …Lebih
Leo XIV memeluk dan memberkati Marie-Garance yang berusia 11 tahun selama kunjungannya ke Lourdes. Marie-Garance, yang hidup dengan disabilitas ganda yang parah, diadopsi pada usia 16 bulan oleh Clotilde dan Nicolas Noël, sepasang suami istri Katolik yang sudah memiliki enam anak kandung. Keluarga Noël telah mengadopsi empat anak penyandang disabilitas. Clotilde menggambarkan ikatannya dengan Marie-Garance sebagai ikatan yang sangat erat, menyebutnya sebagai “batu penjuru keluarga kami” dan berkata: “Saya telah mencarinya sejak dahulu kala.”
Marie-Garance, la fillette que le pape Léon XIV avait bénie lors de sa visite en France, avait été placée en famille d’accueil avant d’être adoptée par une famille catholique. Ses parents avaient déjà six enfants biologiques lorsqu’ils ont accueilli chez eux trois autres enfants en situation de handicap, dont Marie-Garance, qui souffre de handicaps multiples et profonds.
Truth is a sword that the synodal Church “wraps in cotton wool,” Swiss Bishop emeritus Marian Eleganti writes on his blog on September 27. He comments on a thematic guide prepared for Leo XIV’s October 7–14 meeting with the presidents of bishops’ conferences. Monsignor Eleganti argues that the synodal Church uses a predominantly “sentimental vocabulary,” moving away from clear sacramental and canonical criteria toward a language of accompaniment and appreciation. He contrasts Familiaris Consortio with Amoris Laetitia: the former is now treated, he argues, as “yesterday” and “too hard,” the latter as “today” and “merciful.”
Bischof Marian Eleganti kritisiert kurz vor dem Vatikan-Treffen von Papst Leo XIV. zu Amoris Laetitia die Synodalität. Die synodale Kirche urteile mit „sentimentalem Vokabular“ statt nach sakramentalen und kirchenrechtlichen Kriterien: Familiaris Consortio sei „gestern – zu hart“, Amoris Laetitia „heute – barmherzig“. Die Wahrheit, so Eleganti, werde dabei „in Watte gepackt“.
Pertunjukan drone menerangi langit malam di atas Lourdes pada hari Minggu, membentuk gambar-gambar sakral serta moto kunjungan Paus Leo XIV: “Agar dunia memperoleh hidup.” Sebelumnya pada malam itu, Leo XIV bergabung dalam prosesi obor yang terkenal di Lourdes, berjalan di antara puluhan ribu peziarah yang membawa lilin — sebuah pendekatan yang berbeda dari para pendahulunya, yang memimpin prosesi tersebut dari sebuah teras.
Drones lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, September 27, bringing Pope Leo XIV’s torchlight procession to a spectacular close. The drones formed images of the Virgin Mary, a dove and cross, along with the motto of the Pope’s visit to France: “Pour que le monde ait la vie” (“So that the world may have life.”)
On September 26, about 200 faithful of the Society of St. Pius X (FSSPX) made their annual pilgrimage to the Canadian Martyrs’ Shrine in Midland, Ontario. Their published programme scheduled veneration of the relics at the Shrine at 3 p.m. The pilgrims were denied entrance to the church. According to LifeSiteNews.com, this was ordered by the Archdiocese of Toronto. The FSSPX has made this pilgrimage for years. In September 2025, more than 500 FSSPX pilgrims attended. In contrast to the denial of entry to the FSSPX pilgrims, in July 2026 the Archdiocese of Toronto advertised the annual Tamil pilgrimage at the same Shrine. Its announcement invited “Tamil Catholics and other Tamil-speaking devotees” to a programme including Rosary, Eucharist and Adoration, concluding: “All Are Welcome!” Picture: LifeSiteNews.com, #newsDemzixxpwy
Di Paris, Paus Leo XIV menerima Suster Marie-Reine, seorang biarawati Prancis dan peneliti di Sekolah Alkitab dan Arkeologi Prancis di Yerusalem. Pada 28 April, ia diserang secara brutal di Yerusalem oleh Yona Schreiber, 36 tahun, seorang penduduk pemukiman Israel di Tepi Barat. Jaksa penuntut menyatakan bahwa ia menjadi sasaran serangan tersebut karena kebencian berlatar belakang agama. Pada bulan Agustus, pengadilan memutuskan bahwa Schreiber mengalami gangguan kejiwaan pada saat kejadian dan memerintahkan agar ia dirawat di rumah sakit jiwa selama maksimal enam tahun.
À Paris, le pape Léon XIV a reçu sœur Marie-Reine, la religieuse française travaillant à l'École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem, qui a été poussée, frappée dans la Ville sainte le 28 avril 2026, par un Israélien qui lui a aussi craché dessus. L'homme de 36 ans (Yona Schreiber), habitant d'une colonie israélienne de Cisjordanie, a été jugé le 26 août. Le parquet demandait sa condamnation pour une agression motivée par l'hostilité religieuse.
A well-staged Papal event. Days of saturation coverage, politicians lining up, interfaith delegations, enormous crowds and journalists analysing every gesture: Leo XIV’s visit to France has become much more than a trip. Whatever one thinks of the motives behind it, secular French media and laicist public institutions have helped turn the visit into a national event — and staged the image of a Catholic revival in one of Europe’s most famously secular republics.
Speaking of 'snake': While Prevost covers for his pedophile friends and abandons the victims, he does political propaganda with a sick child. Ruthless. He only wants to keep up the Catholic façade to deceive the ignorant in their faith. He denies the Holy Trinity through syncretism, the founding of the Catholic Church, and the honorary titles of the Virgin Mary. He mocks the martyrs of the French Revolution. Two-faced. All a Freemason show to fool the clueless, blind Catholics.
Paus Leo XIV bertemu dan memberkati para siswa dari Sekolah Katolik Marcel Van di Bandara Metz-Nancy-Lorraine. Marcel Van adalah sebuah école hors contrat: sekolah ini beroperasi tanpa kontrak dengan pemerintah Prancis. Artinya, sekolah ini tidak menerima dana bantuan pemerintah seperti biasanya dan memiliki otonomi pendidikan yang lebih besar.

Birds of a feather flock together for a relaxed round-table meeting in Metz: Leo XIV sat down with a small group of European leaders and dignitaries — several of whom have rather compromised records on life issues. Around the table were Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco, Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, Luxembourg PM Luc Frieden, Andorra’s Co-Prince Bishop Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat, and former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
À l'issue de l'événement organisé à Metz sous le titre « Aux racines de l'Europe », le Pape a rencontré certaines des personnalités présentes lors d'un entretien privé dans une salle du Palais des Congrès. Dix invités étaient présents, dont les Macron, le prince Albert et Charlène, M. Frieden et M. Juncker.
Leo XIV "tidak ingin terlibat dalam politik Prancis". Malam ini, dalam penerbangan pulang dari Metz ke Roma, Paus Leo XIV ditanya apakah pernyataannya mengenai eutanasia telah melampaui batas antara agama dan politik. Leo XIV menjawab: “Saya tidak melampaui batas itu.” Ketika Gereja berbicara “untuk membela kehidupan,” hal itu “bukanlah berpolitik, melainkan menerapkan Injil dalam kehidupan manusia.” Dan: “Jika ini disebut berpolitik, maka saya melakukannya; tetapi saya tentu saja tidak bermaksud mencampuri urusan politik Prancis. Saya hanya ingin mengajarkan apa yang sebenarnya diyakini oleh Gereja.”
‘I didn’t want to get involved in French politics, I only wanted to proclaim the gospel.’ That’s what Pope Leo XIV said on Monday evening during the plane interview on the return flight to Rome after his four-day visit to France.
