Private Audience with Leo XIV for €500,000
Spain is preparing for the June visit of Pope Leo XIV and the country’s bishops have introduced a controversial fundraising model: major donors can gain exclusive access to the pope.
The Spanish Bishops’ Conference has created a five-tier donation system.
At the top, “Great Benefactors” (€500,000-€1 million) are promised a private meeting with the pope, a Vatican working session, and VIP seating at events.
“Benefactors” (€250,000-€500,000) receive similar perks, though without a private audience.
Lower tiers offer recognition, titles, or public acknowledgment.
Organizers say the goal is to reduce the burden on taxpayers, as the trip is expected to cost €15 - €30 million.
Donations are also tax-deductible, and sponsors are offered global visibility, with millions expected to attend or watch.

Such corrupt shenanigans have been going on in the Church for centuries….officially. This is nothing new.
AND if you donate a million or so, you can have your favorite cult of maria symbol venerated as a Saint.

The very stone where JESUS fell to the ground still preserved today
Gethsemane in Jerusalem is the place where the Passion of Christ began. In this short video, you see the olive garden, the Basilica of the Agony, and the stone venerated as the place where Jesus prayed in deep agony before his arrest and crucifixion.
Gethsemane - Where the Passion of Christ Began
The Garden of Gethsemane was purchased in 1681 by three brothers, Bosniak Croats from Sarajevo — Pavao, Antun, and Jakov Branković. They bought the land from its then Ottoman owners and, out of deep devotion, donated it to the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.
Since then, the Franciscans have cared for this sacred place, preserving it for Christians around the world.
Od sveg hodočašća kroz Svetu Zemlju, prije 13 godina, što je doista kao da hodimo kroz peto Evanđelje... neuporedivo me je se dojmio dodir kamena u Getsemanskom vrtu.
Kada sam stavio ruku na taj kamen na kojem je Isusova Muka počela bijah potrešen i duboko ganut, što nikako riječima ne bih uspio objasniti.
CALL TO ACTION: Tell President Trump, your Congressional Rep, & your Senators that you don't support American boots on the ground in Iran. White House Comment Line: (202) 456-1111 & Congress Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 . This is how We the People make our voices heard.
Good idea but trump already said, I will do what I want. I don't need them (his own base). All of American can call all day and every day. They will do what they want.
Examine Your Heart: Where Do You Resist?
The suffering of the Lord and the martyrs challenge the notion that God would never allow suffering. We must conform ourselves to God’s will, even when it contradicts our own desires, as exemplified by Jesus’ prayer in the garden. By examining our own betrayals and rebellions against God’s teachings, we can find grace and strength to embrace our crosses and follow Him.

"Amoris Laetitia" Was a "Breakthrough" for Church - Cardinal Schönborn
Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, published on April 8, 2016, was a “breakthrough” for the Church. This was stated by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 81, of Vienna, who had presented the document at the Vatican ten years ago, in an interview with Kathpress.at on March 30.
In a footnote, Francis "allowed" adulterers to grab Holy Communion using the case-by-case trick. Cardinal Schönborn commented: "That Pope Francis addressed the question of whether divorced and remarried persons may receive Communion only in a small footnote deeply moved me personally."
“When I take the document from my bookshelf or even just think about it, it still brings me to tears,” he added.
For many people in the Church - and for him personally - the document represented a “huge sigh of relief.” The reason, he explained, is that Francis speaks “about real life.”

BBC'S TRANSGENDER PROPAGANDA
Stop BBC Trans Indoctrination of Children
You may have noticed that the BBC is increasingly pushing LGBT ideology, especially transgenderism, into programmes watched by children.
SIX YEARS WITH MILES CHRISTI.
From introducing trans characters into hugely popular shows like Doctor Who to producing programmes focused on how “positive” it is to be a trans teenager, to putting Drag Queens on Strictly. There was even a segment on The Unshockable Dr Ronx, discussing how to breast bind “safely”.
THREE YEARS WITH “SUPER OMNIA VERITAS”.
Yes, you read that right! The BBC is encouraging young girls to bind their breasts. Not only are they trying to indoctrinate, but they are also teaching children how to self-harm.
The BBC is legally required to remain impartial, yet it is promoting one side of a highly contested issue. Frankly, the BBC is outright lying to our children.

Leo XIV "Interested" in Solving Tensions around Roman Rite - French Bishop
During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources.
One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through".
Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries.
"It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added.
Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …Күбрәк

"Come closer." — A new Iranian LEGO video …
I love the beginning. Noticed the American people who are against the war? They are telling us it's not us but trump who wants the war. They know we don't want it. Therefore, it's not us they want to destroy. Then you see the W.H. being blown up. NOT THE PEOPLE! Just the white house. They are warning trump who ever he sends to Iran will die and all things we send will be destroyed. This and the other video are so obvious in what they are telling us.
This confirms what I said in the last video. They want our government to go down. Not the people. Those who attack Iran will be attacked. But their eyes are on our government and the loser in control right now
The slogan has historically been contextualized as a reaction to the t"US GOVERNMENT'S policies towards Islamic counties and merely an expression of outrage at those policies, not a wish for literal death for American people themselves. In a speech to university students, Iran's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei interpreted the slogan as "death to the U.S.'s policies, death to ARROGANCE"!

Dr. Roger Seheult just revealed one of the biggest studies on sunlight. A massive Swedish study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and found that those who actively sought sun exposure had dramatically lower death rates from cancer, heart disease, and all causes.
The shocking part? Sun avoiders had roughly double the overall mortality. Even heavy smokers who got plenty of sun had similar death rates to non-smokers who avoided it. Sunlight appears to extend life through vitamin D, nitric oxide, and immune support - yet we're still told to hide from it.

The cancellation of the second World Children’s Day follows another decision made in February that brought a structural change by placing the initiative under the integrated management of the Roman Curia. Leo XIV dissolved the Pontifical Commission for World Children’s Day, a body created in 2024 by his predecessor, Pope Francis, for organizational matters.
As a result, the president, vice president, and all members of the body — including Father Enzo Fortunato, who had served as president of the committee — automatically ceased their functions.
Vatican cancels 2026 World Children’s Day
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has canceled the second World Children’s Day, which had been scheduled to take place in Rome Sept. 25–27, about six weeks after Pope Leo XIV dissolved the commission responsible for its organization.
The Dicastery for the Laity, the Family, and Life announced the decision March 27, saying it had “considered it appropriate to cancel the celebration of the Second World Children’s Day, initially scheduled to take place in Rome from Sept. 25 to 27, 2026.”
According to the official statement, the dicastery opted not to hold the international gathering in Rome and instead pointed to a more decentralized approach rooted in local communities.
“All initiatives aimed at the pastoral care of children may be celebrated, at the discretion of the ordinaries, at a diocesan or parish level and with the involvement of families, the proper place for the human and spiritual growth of every child,” the statement said, adding that the decision was made “after careful consideration …ewtnnews.com

New Ferula of Leo XIV Removes Nails and Passion of Christ
On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross.
He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection".
The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office.
And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed."

Allegedly there is no argument concerning taste. But some things are tasteless, disgusting and heretical.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen: “The essence of the diabolical is hatred for the Cross of Christ.” In 1947, Pope Pius XII condemned crucifixes depicting the Risen Christ (known as "Resurrexifixes")—crosses that do not display the sufferings of Christ.In 1921, Pope Benedict XV condemned twisted crucifixes.
