Leo XIV Insisted on Black Shoes

The traditional shoemaker to the Popes presented Leo XIV with two pairs of white shoes on August 29, writes RomeReports.com. However, Leo XIV did not accept them, insisting that he only wanted black shoes. The shoemaker returned to work and recently delivered a new pair in black.
Adriano Stefanelli, an Italian craftsman, has made the papal shoes from John Paul II to today’s Pope Leo XIV.
It all began with John Paul II after he fell ill briefly during a Via Crucis. Stefanelli decided that the best way he could help was to make him a pair of shoes.
He says his quality never changes, even for popes: only the finest materials are used. It is the small details that vary. John Paul II wanted rubber half-soles, Benedict XVI preferred all leather, and Francis wore embroidered slippers with a symbolic design. For Leo XIV, Stefanelli followed Benedict's model — in black.

Black shoes like his predecessor, the disaster "pope". Leo is disaster part II.

He really needs some Merican Shoes by Red Wings,
Slip resistant, steel toes to kick the rumps of the Maricons.
With white shoes, the toes would discolor with that move.

Video explaining what is the Mass

A film vimeo.com/298272000
howcasing the beauty and richness of the Latin Mass. I started the project, but never imagined where it would lead.
I worked on the video each day after work from 7pm - 3am for five consecutive nights. It was a draining experience. But I am satisfied with the end result.
PURPOSE
"A Meditation on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass" is not meant to be a mere inspirational drama, but a heartfelt prayer, a Catholic meditation.
It should be viewed as such: Focused. Silent. Penitent.
My sincere hope is that you will grow in your love for God, and your Faith will be strengthened.
SYMBOLISM
After previewing the movie for my family, they expressed concern about some of the symbolism, particularly the scene of the Kiss of Judas and the priest kissing the altar. Please know that I based everything on ancient Catholic teaching. For example:
"When the priest kisses the altar, he is kissing Christ, *faithfully,* in contradiction to the kiss of betrayal by Judas." In a sense, …அதிகமாக

தேடுவோம் இறைவனை ! மாற்றுவோம் நம்மையே.
கனியே அமுதே ஒளியே நிலவே அகல் விளக்கே
எழுந்து வா என்னில் எழுந்து வா !
கேட்போர் எல்லோரும் பெற்றுக் கொள்கின்றனர் !
தேடுவோர் கண்டடைகின்றனர்.
தட்டுவோருக்குத் திறக்கப்படும்.
அஞ்சாதீர் நம்பிக்கையை மட்டும் விட்டு விடாதீர்.
முழந்தாளிடுபவர் முன்னேறுகிறார்.
Where there is humility there is prayer !
Where there is pride there is no prayer.
அடியேன் கடையேன் என ஒப்புக்கொள்ளும் பக்தனின் மன்றாட்டை, இறைவன் தன் செவியைத் தீட்டிக்கொண்டு கேட்கிறார்.

'[VII] Of the Seventh Weapon. - 'The Seven Spiritual Weapons' by Saint Catherine of Bologna – pages 22-23; Points 1-13

'[VII] Of the Seventh Weapon.
(1) Of the seventh weapon I will elaborate more at length.
I will do this in order to make clear a subtle trick played on one of the first sisters by the enemy of our salvation. This is the reason that I have been moved to write the present little book as a warning and instruction for all the novice sisters who are here at present or will follow in the future in this monastery, the salvation of whom, together with that of all rational creatures, I have so desired. With the frequent and daily demand of divine help it seemed to me that in a brief time I would lack the natural powers of my fragile body, so that even with great violence I could scarcely finish compiling this book. The great weakness caused me to tremble, not only in the hand, but also in the head and throughout my body. I would be content, for love of Christ Jesus, if …அதிகமாக

'And be on guard that you are not deceived by the mere appearance of good, for the devil sometimes appears in the appearance of Christ or of the virgin Mary or in the shape of an angel of a saint. Therefore, in every apparition that occurs, take up the weapon of Scripture which shows how the mother of Christ comported herself when the angel Gabriel appeared to her. She said to him: “What is this greeting?” (Lk 1.29).'

Vatican Employees "Demotivated and Bullied", Says Survey

Vatican employees are “demotivated, tired of their complicated relationship with curial leadership, and often even bullied”. This is the result of the first representative survey conducted among Vatican staff.
The poll was carried out between 15 September and 7 January and drew responses from 250 employees, 80% of them members of the ADLV, an internal association similar to a union. Trade unions are not formally recognized in the Vatican.
The Holy See employs about 4,200 people, most of whom are not members of the ADLV, reportedly for fear of internal repercussions.
The survey paints a bleak picture of working conditions under Pope Francis, described as marked by “extremely high points of friction.” The arrival of Pope Leo XIV has raised cautious hopes, notably after he restored the conclave bonus that Francis had abolished.
Key findings underline widespread discontent:
- 75.9% say human resources are poorly placed, valued, and motivated.
- 73.9% perceive a disconnect between workers …அதிகமாக

John L. Allen Jr.: A life remembered in gratitude

Friends, colleagues, and regular Crux readers will know that my husband, John L. Allen Jr., has been battling cancer for some time, and has largely been absent from the site this year as he underwent treatment and fought for recovery.
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I convey, nearly four years after his diagnosis, that John lost his battle with cancer on Thursday, January 22, 2026, and is now resting in the arms of God, free from the pain and discomfort that he lived with for so long.
While words often fail in these moments, I want to offer a few words of thanks:
First, to our friends and community who have accompanied us throughout this journey, especially the past year. You have supported us with the sacraments, prayers, visits, meals, advice, rides to and from the hospital for treatment, and no small amount of chocolate and wine, but most importantly, with your presence, including a call system to ensure that I wasn’t alone at the end. We simply could not have gotten …

Quran Readings for Epiphany in a Spanish Parish

The Catholic parish of Guissona, a small town in the province of Lleida in Catalonia, Spain, has introduces passages from the Quran into its Epiphany celebration on January 5, during a traditional procession, reports InfoVaticana.com.
The parish wrote on its Instagram account that the initiative forms part of what it described as an “inclusive process” developed over the past two years. This process takes into account “the religion of the different kings and pages” participating in the celebration.
During the ceremony, passages from the Quran were read alongside the Gospels.
The parish, which belongs to the Catholic Diocese of Urgell, defended the decision as a way of conveying a shared “message of peace” among people of different faiths.
Furthermore, the kissing of the statue of the Baby Jesus was omitted. The parish explained that such a gesture was considered inappropriate for Muslims.

On the need for Catholic reflexes (and acquiring them if they are lacking).

Many Catholics have lived their entire lives conscious that one post Conciliar Pope after the other has been influenced by the ideologies of the world, with negative results for the Church in general. Nobody enjoys this situation, but Catholics know that the Church has experienced equally long periods of crisis before due to weakness at the centre.
A “Traditionalist” Reformation to finish off the Tridentine Church?
Inexplicably, certain traditionalist writers believe the answer is to change the Church’s divinely founded constitution. They wish to succeed where the German bishops will fail, and change the Church’s permanent structure, and therefore the faith.
For example, there are those who believe we are entering a period of Church “invisibility”, or a Church without the Papacy in Rome to confirm the faith – clearly Lutheran, non-Catholic beliefs. There are those who want to “reform” the Church along Jansenist, Gallicanist, Conciliarist lines, by reinventing the episcopate as a …

In Kurmin Wali, Kaduna State, Nigeria, gunmen attacked three churches during Sunday services on January 18, and kidnapped about 177 Christians. Although residents reported the abductions immediately, Nigerian authorities first denied they occurred. After public pressure, police confirmed the kidnappings and said security forces were deployed to find the victims.

Nigerian police have CONFIRMED that 177 Christians were KIDNAPPED from their churches last weekend .The confirmation comes after the police originally DENIED that the kidnappings had occurred. They have since denied the denial, calling it a 'measured response'

AFRICA/NIGERIA - Kidnapping of 177 Christians confirmed: "No Catholics among those kidnapped"
Wednesday, 21 January 2026
Abuja (Agenzia Fides) – Nigerian authorities have confirmed the mass kidnapping of nearly 200 faithful from several churches on Sunday, January 18, in Kurmin Wali, in the Local Government Area of Kajuru in the State of Kaduna. After initially denying the incident vehemently (see Fides, 20/1/2026), federal police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin admitted that the initial denial by Kaduna State authorities was aimed at "avoiding unnecessary panic while the facts were being verified." "These statements, which have since been widely misunderstood, did not constitute a denial of the incident, but rather a considered response pending confirmation of the details on the ground, including the identities and number of those involved," the police spokesman added. “Subsequent checks by law enforcement and intelligence sources have confirmed that the incident did indeed occur.”
