John Prevost discussed in an April 17 interview with 'EWTN News In Depth' his life as the pope’s brother. Main points. Loss of privacy: “I used to be able to leave the front door open. Now I’m hesitant because you don’t know who’s going to come to the door.” Ordinary childhood: “Probably like anyone else’s—it was a mom and dad, three boys, school, homework, play, and repeat. It was just a normal life.” Childhood memory: “One time we were building a shed in the backyard and Rob fell through the roof. It was just part of the wood was rotted, because we were using old doors from the house for the roof.” Leo XIV’s early vocation: “We always knew that he wanted to be a priest. From a very young age, that was just always there.” A “prophecy”: “When he was maybe in first or second grade, one of the moms across the street said, ‘You know, he’s going to be the first American Pope.’ We just kind of heard it and moved on.” Still just brothers: “People say, ‘Who says no to the Pope?’ I …'Besdal

James Martin in leaked audio: There has been a “step forward,” not a full change in doctrine. Martin points to Fiducia Supplicans, approved under Pope Francis. It allows priests to give non-liturgical, spontaneous blessings to same-sex couples. These are not marriages and not formal ceremonies. Recognition of “goodness” in these relationships. He emphasizes that the Church is beginning to acknowledge positive elements (love, commitment, faith) in same-sex couples. Change is gradual, not revolutionary. The Church is “moving,” but slowly. What may seem minor in Western countries is very controversial globally, especially in parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Pastoral shift driven by real people. The growing visibility of LGBTQ individuals (family members, parishioners) is pushing the Church to engage more compassionately and realistically.
A viral clip shows Irish priest Christopher Ginnelly, from the Holy Family parish in Ballycroy in the Archdiocese of Armagh in Ireland, including a petition asking God to "take Donald Trump" during the Eucharist. The congregation can be heard laughing before the cleric attempts to explain his mistake. "Sorry about that," he said, before continuing: "Take away his pain". DailyStar.co.uk reported on the video on 16 April.
Novus Ordo: This is Fr. Christopher Ginnelly, parish priest for the Church of the Holy Family in Ballycroy, praying for the death of Donald Trump. The audience starts laughing.
“The multiplication of the loaves and fishes occurred during the sharing; that is the miracle,” said Pope Leo XIV in his homily at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon, on 17 April, which was attended by around 120,000 people. He continued: ‘There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken not with a snatching hand, but with a giving hand.” Common heresy in the Francis era Here, Leo XIV reflects an idea that Pope Francis has returned to several times: that the multiplication of the loaves is not about a supernatural increase in food, but a transformation of human hearts that leads to sharing. During the Angelus on 26 July 2015, Francis said that 'the miracle does not consist in the multiplication itself, but in the sharing'. At the Angelus on 29 July 2018, and in various weekday homilies at Santa Marta, Francis reiterated that the true sign is not a miracle, but a change in attitude; the crowd learns to share. On 25 July 2021, Francis …'Besdal
Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …'Besdal
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.

If you’ve already blown out sixty candles, it’s worth pausing to think about something very important. You’re no longer at an age to keep saving everything “for later,” only for others to end up enjoying the fruits of your sacrifices and hard work. It happens often that, when you least expect it, new “needs” arise in the family and everyone starts eyeing the money you worked so hard for over the years. The time has come to use your money wisely—and, above all, with enjoyment. It’s yours. You earned it. At sixty, it’s no longer the time to play clever with risky or doubtful investments. At this stage, what matters most is peace, stability, and peace of mind. Children and grandchildren are the greatest blessing, but you don’t have to live crowded together with them. It’s much better to visit, spend quality time, go out, talk, and enjoy each other—while always keeping your own space. Don’t feel embarrassed to ask for help if something at home is difficult for you. Also, spending time …'Besdal

Sweden's current Minister for Education and Integration was born into a Muslim family, with her father being a former Hamas member in Palestine and her mother a Lebanese Shia Muslim. She told the Swedes she is not Muslim, and the Swedes actually believed her! After taking office, she forcefully promoted Islamic studies courses, making them the highest-credit elective in all Swedish schools. She demanded that all Swedish students must learn about Islam, saying Sweden needs Islam and only Islam can save Sweden.
04/20/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. A crime that goes unspoken. That is the title of a film on the YouTube channel “Wbrew Cenzurze.” Not all of you have children of your own, but I hope that each of you can imagine the immense tragedy experienced by parents whose children have been brutally murdered for political reasons. Every child killed is a crime against humanity. Regardless of the parents’ nationality, religion, skin color, or beliefs. We must always oppose this. What is a child at school to blame for when some scumbag fires rockets at that school? Forty minutes later, a second rocket was fired to kill those who had rushed to the aid of the suffering children. Then a third. Can such acts still be called war, or is this not simply brutality? I have already shown in a previous post who fired these rockets. I will show these criminals once again. “Take note of these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the first officer of the USS Spruance, who …
Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV. Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon: “ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral. He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'. In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example. He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church. The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …'Besdal
There’s a certain kind of person: not exactly good, not quite evil, not stupid, yet not brilliant. They are simply spineless. Parasites in human skin. They don’t bite—they seep into your life like mold in a damp corner. They don’t strike—they undermine. They don’t shout—they whisper. Always behind your back. Because looking you in the eye is their greatest fear. Being "low-life" isn't a one-time mistake. It’s a lifestyle. It’s the choice of a coward with ambitions. Someone who lacks the guts for open conflict or honest competition. They smile while you’re looking, but the second you turn around, they’re searching for the exact spot to slide the needle in. They don’t want to beat you—they want to tarnish you. They want to dim your light because they belong to the shadows. And they want everyone to be just like them: slippery, miserable, and stained. This isn't just a coward. This is a coward with an imagination. They don’t betray out of fear; they do it for the rush. They feel "…'Besdal
Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi NO COFFEE! US armed forces are running out of food as the planned four-day plan to “take out Iran” enters its seventh week. Vegetables, fruit, and all fresh produce has gone – and tiny meals are being served on empty meal trays on warships, USA Today reported. And there’s no coffee – something many Americans consider more important than food. . 'MYSTERY MEAT' One dinner on the USS Abraham Lincoln this week was boiled carrots and two pieces of “mystery meat”, while sailors on the USS Tripoli had a scoop of shredded meat and a tortilla as a meal. Frantic family members have been trying to mail food to troops. “But mail delivery to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended,” the newspaper reported. The warships have no internet service, but when a pocket of connectivity opened up, one parent, Dan F, got updates. “After his daughter told him the coffee machine on board had broken down, Dan said he stopped drinking coffee in …'Besdal
Acts 6:8-15 “They could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.” When a person allows himself to be taught by the Holy Spirit, his language becomes pure, simple, and realistic. John 6:22-29 “Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life.” Jesus is speaking of the reality of heaven. The food of heaven, which is also found in the Eucharist, is the Love of God; his joy and his peace. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
April 19th - Saint of the Day: Saint Alphege of Canterbury, Archbishop, Monk & Martyr What kind of man refuses to buy his own freedom because that money belongs to the poor? Saint Alphege did. He was an Archbishop of Canterbury, a monk, a shepherd of souls, and a martyr who chose faithfulness over survival. When pagan captors demanded a huge ransom for his release, he would not let the Church’s resources be spent on saving himself while the poor still suffered. That is the kind of courage that stops people in their tracks. His story is intense, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. A holy bishop captured during the sack of Canterbury. A shepherd who begged mercy for his people. A saint who faced a brutal death rather than betray the Gospel he preached. Saint Alphege proves that real Christian love is not soft, shallow, or convenient. It is sacrificial. It is fearless. It is real. This is one of those Catholic saint stories that hits hard because it asks a serious …'Besdal
Sant' Elfego (Elfege) di Canterbury Vescovo - Festa:19 aprile 954 - 1011 Nacque in Inghilterra nel 954. Divenuto benedettino nell’abbazia di Deerhurst, nel Gloucestershire, proseguì la carriera ecclesiastica come abate di un monastero a Bath e quindi, nel 984, come vescovo di Winchester. Nel 1006 fu nominato arcivescovo di Canterbury. Era molto amato dal popolo per la sua generosità ed umanità. Durante l’invasione danese del 1011 si rifiutò di fuggire e fu preso prigioniero. Non volle pagare il proprio riscatto con le elemosine raccolte per i poveri e per questo motivo venne ucciso a Greenwich. Fu bastonato a morte con le pesanti ossa di un bue che era servito ai pagani per un luculliano banchetto. Le sue reliquie furono conservate nella chiesa di San Paolo a Canterbury, fino all’avvento della riforma.
