Vatican Clergy Residence Becomes Four Star Hotel: Leo XIV has approved the conversion of the Domus Internationalis Paulus VI in Rome from a residence for clergy into a four-star hotel. This is confirmed for the first time in the 2025 APSA financial report. Retired cardinals, bishops, former nuncios, and other clergy living in the residence wrote to Leo XIV, asking that the project be halted. But the plan is moving forward and is now in its final stages. The building dates back to the 15th century and became famous in 2013 when, shortly after his election, Pope Francis returned to pay his hotel bill personally. The Vatican expects to receive approximately €5 million per year in rent from the property.
«Con il Santo Padre Francesco era stato deciso che non si poteva certamente fare un hotel a cinque stelle, per motivi di credibilità e d'immagine; alla fine sarà soltanto un quattro stelle». Un'affermazione che aveva provocato non poco imbarazzo...
İsrail’de Aylardır Görülen En Geniş Kapsamlı Yıkım Dalgası: İsrail güçleri, Batı Şeria’daki çeşitli yerleşim yerlerinde evleri, iş yerlerini ve çiftlikleri etkileyen yıkımlar gerçekleştirdi. Cenin’in güneyindeki Anza yakınlarında, 18 dükkan ve iki dairenin bulunduğu üç binanın sahiplerine, yıkımdan önce tahliye etmeleri için 40 dakika süre verildi. İsrail, yıkımların izinsiz yapıları hedef aldığını belirtirken, insani yardım kuruluşları ise C Bölgesi’ndeki Filistinlilere nadiren inşaat izni verildiğini ifade ediyor. Netanyahu ve Savunma Bakanı Yisrael Katz ayrıca daha fazla ev yıkımı, silah el koyma ve çalışma izni iptali yapılacağını duyurdu. Filistinli yetkililer, 2026 yılının ilk yarısında gerçekleştirilen 341 yıkım operasyonunda yaklaşık 740 yapının yıkıldığını ve 923 Filistinlinin bu durumdan etkilendiğini belirtiyor.

Today, Pope Leo XIV issued a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State, replacing the 2023 constitution and codifying recent governance reforms in a 25-article text. The new law enshrines Francis' reforms in the constitution, notably allowing a non-cardinal — including a woman — to serve as President of the Vatican City State's Pontifical Commission and Governorship. Separation of Vatican City State and the Holy See The Pope remains constitutionally supreme. Article 1 states that he holds the full legislative, executive and judicial authority, meaning there is no separation of powers at the highest level. Article 2 explains that Vatican City State exists to guarantee the independence of the Holy See but is legally distinct from the Roman Curia and the institutions of the Holy See. Although this distinction has long existed in practice, it is now stated more explicitly. The clarification has implications for diplomacy, finances and legal responsibility.

Leo XIV Takes Time for Punk Grandma: Pope Leo XIV received on Friday punk icon Patti Smith in a private audience at the Vatican. The Chicago-born singer shares the Pope's hometown and has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Holy See.

Bugün, Papa XIV. Leo, 2023 Anayasası’nın yerine geçecek ve son dönemde yapılan yönetim reformlarını 25 maddelik bir metinde düzenleyen yeni bir Temel Yasa’yı Vatikan Şehir Devleti için yayımladı. Yeni yasa, Papa Francis’in reformlarını anayasaya dahil ediyor; özellikle de kardinal olmayan bir kişinin — kadınlar da dahil olmak üzere — Vatikan Şehir Devleti Papalık Komisyonu ve Valiliği başkanlığı görevlerini üstlenmesine izin veriyor. Vatikan Şehir Devleti ile Kutsal Makam’ın Ayrılığı Papa, anayasal olarak en üst otorite olmaya devam etmektedir. 1. madde, Papa’nın yasama, yürütme ve yargı yetkilerinin tamamına sahip olduğunu belirtmekte olup, bu da en üst düzeyde güçler ayrılığı bulunmadığı anlamına gelmektedir. 2. madde, Vatikan Şehir Devleti’nin Kutsal Makam’ın bağımsızlığını garanti altına almak amacıyla var olduğunu, ancak yasal olarak Roma Kuriyesi ve Kutsal Makam kurumlarından ayrı olduğunu açıklamaktadır. Bu ayrım pratikte uzun süredir mevcut olsa da, artık daha açık bir şekilde …Daha çox

Controversy in 2025 under Previous Archbishop In 2025, when the Archdiocese of Morelia was led by Monsignor Carlos Garfias Merlos, 75, the group Otro Rebaño participated in a homosexual march in Morelia.

At the time, José Armando Álvarez had already arrived as Coadjutor Archbishop. He had been appointed by Pope Francis in January …Daha çox
Society has a thirst for transcendence, but “the old instruments have already fulfilled their purpose and no longer meet the needs of today's people". This claims Bishop Tomáš Holub, 58, of Plzeň, Czech Republic, in a lengthy article about "Synodality and the Novus Ordo Missae" on 21 July on the blog Come se non, run by the Italian theologian Andrea Grillo. Grillo is an opponent of the Roman rite and is considered an influencer of Traditionis Custodes. According to Bishop Holub, a missionary outlook must be rooted in synodality: "Synodality is not merely a technique of communication, but a way of living the faith... The point is not to hold a synod, but to become a synod." The Czech bishop goes on that the Novus Ordo provides the appropriate expression of the Church's synodal identity: "The Novus Ordo makes it possible for this synodality to be applied in the liturgical sphere. Otherwise, this would be very difficult, since the Vetus Ordo is the expression of a Tridentine vision of the …Daha çox
Abp. Salvatore Cordileone on whether Pope Francis' restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass can be sustained in the long run: "To be honest, I don't think it's realistic...this is unstoppable. It's what's drawing young people in..."
Rome Makes Bombshell Announcement About The Future Of The Traditional Latin Mass No one cares what is said in Rome. Look at all the damage Montini, Woyty;a Bergoglio did to the Mass.
The Diocese of Providence in Rhode Island is holding a series of “Listening Sessions” for homosexuals and their friends at four parishes. According to the diocesan website, Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, 59, is presiding at each gathering, which includes the celebration of the Eucharist, small-group sharing, and a community dinner. The diocesan announcement opens with Pope Francis' notorious words, “Todos, Todos, Todos” (“Everyone, Everyone, Everyone”). LepantoIn.org asked the diocese whether confession would be available and whether participants would be invited to repentance and conversion in accordance with Catholic teaching. Instead of answering those questions, the diocesan communications director replied only: “As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care.” Picture: LepantoIn.org, #newsVedmnhuvak
Romans 1:32 Although they are fully cognizant of God’s decree that those who behave in this way deserve to die, they not only do these things themselves but also praise all those who engage in such conduct.

San Francisco Başpiskoposu Salvatore Cordileone, EWTN’de Raymond Arroyo ile yaptığı söyleşide, Vatikan’ın Latince Ayin’e getirdiği kısıtlamaların “gerçekçi olmadığını”, çünkü genç Katoliklerin Kilise’nin ayin geleneğine duydukları ilginin artmasının “durdurulamaz” olduğunu söyledi. “Gençleri Kiliseye çeken şey budur ve öyle olmaya da devam edecektir.” Monsenyör Cordileone’ye göre, genç nesiller arasında ayinin bu kadar popüler olması, Traditionis Custodes’in sürdürülmesini zorlaştırıyor: “Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bunun gerçekçi olduğunu düşünmüyorum.” Ve: “Genç nesle bakıyoruz. Hepsi geleneği seviyor.” "Kilisenin daha klasik ibadet biçimini, geleneksel ayini seviyorlar," diye devam etti. Başpiskopos Cordileone, İlahi İbadet Dicastery’sinin başkanı Kardinal Arthur Roche’un, XIV. Leo’nun Traditionis Custodes’i geri almayacağı yönündeki son açıklamalarına itiraz etti. “Kutsal Baba’nın düşüncelerini ne kadar iyi bildiğini bilmiyorum.

The argument that a volunteer military is expendable is deeply troubling. Millions of trained and willing individuals could confront an unprepared US force Iran has 2 million soldiers. Another 2 million will readily and willing to pick up an AK or something and go fight. You now have 4 million people. The very most we can muster between the Marines and Army merged would be 300,00 is his guess. And probably won't even be able to do that. Military Expendable?

Spain’s illegal migrant surge into Ceuta shows how quickly a nation’s border can be overrun. The Church has always taught that a country has the right and duty to defend its territorial integrity for the common good. Fr. Dominic Prümmer, O.P., in his classic Manuale Theologiae Moralis (1923), states: “The right of a sovereign state to regulate the entry and settlement of foreigners is derived from its obligation to promote the common good of its people. It would be contrary to justice and prudence to allow unrestricted immigration when such would lead to disorder or harm to the established community.”
