On 24 March, a court in Privas, France, delivered its verdict in the case of Father Bernard Domini and the Catholic community Famille Missionnaire de Notre Dame (FMND). The case raises wider questions about religious freedom and new legal standards in France. Following a two-year investigation, the case centred on allegations of "abuse of vulnerability" and 2psychological subjection" brought by five former members of the community. The community has approximately 160 members. The charges did not involve allegations of sexual abuse, physical violence or financial misconduct, but instead focused on the community's internal practices and discipline. In its ruling, the court issued ten decisions, resulting in seven acquittals and three convictions. Father Bernard was convicted on one count and acquitted on four others, while the FMND was convicted on two counts. The punishments handed down were relatively lenient: a six-month suspended sentence for Father Bernard and a €25,000 fine for the …མང་བ།
I use thecradlemedia telegram channel sometimes. There are many others. Here are some other related news from recently. Phony israel passed a law today to kill all Palestinians in prison. Israeli soldiers are holding prayers asking for mercy from Iran. 1000s of disenchanted israelis are taking refuge in Sinai. The number of dead or injured US soldiers are in the thousands. Hezbollah has destroyed over 100 Merkava tanks. Iran is hitting American bases in Syria. Soon it will become easier to believe the likely theory that the assassination attempt on Trump was staged compared to what denials are coming forth from this administration. Now back to GTV kumbaya posts.
For the record, Iran claims they did not launch this attack and that this was a false-flag attack launched by Israel. Telegram: Contact @thecradlemedia

Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.” “Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”
Nach heftiger Kritik Kardinal erhält doch Zugang zu Grabeskirche Eine Zugangssperre für Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa zur Grabeskirche in der Jerusalemer Altstadt hat am Sonntag für Aufsehen gesorgt. Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land wollte dort die Palmsonntag-Messe feiern, wurde jedoch von der israelischen Polizei angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert. Dieser Vorfall sorgte für heftige Kritik. Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu ruderte nun zurück und ordnete an, dass Pizzaballa „sofortigen“ Zugang zur Kirche erhalten solle. Online seit heute, 7.21 Uhr Netanjahu führte Sicherheitsbedenken als Grund für die ursprüngliche Maßnahme an: „In den vergangenen Tagen hat der Iran wiederholt die heiligen Stätten aller drei monotheistischen Religionen in Jerusalem mit Marschflugkörpern ins Visier genommen. Bei einem Angriff schlugen Raketensplitter wenige Meter von der Grabeskirche entfernt ein.“ Zum Schutz der Gläubigen habe Israel Menschen aller …མང་བ།
Jerusalem: Kardinal an Zutritt zu Grabeskirche gehindert Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land, Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, ist von der israelischen Polizei am Zugang zur Grabeskirche in der Altstadt von Jerusalem gehindert worden. Der Italiener Pizzaballa habe in der Kirche die traditionelle Messe zum Palmsonntag feiern wollen, sei aber von israelischen Polizisten angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert worden, teilte das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem heute mit. Reuters/Ammar Awad Mit ihm sei zudem der Kustos im Heiligen Land, Francesco Ielpo, gewesen. Der Franziskaner ist der oberste Wächter der Heiligen Stätten, einschließlich der Grabeskirche. Das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem bezeichnete den Vorfall als „schwerwiegenden Präzedenzfall“.
Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israeli authorities to grant Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusal “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He reversed an earlier decision after Israeli police blocked the Cardinal and few other priests from entering the holy site during Palm Sunday celebrations. The disproportionate restriction triggered strong international criticism from political leaders. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog personally apologized to the Cardinal following the incident. The video below shows the empty, silent streets of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, devoid of the procession, olive and palm branches, and the cheers of the faithful. #newsOnyraezrlx
The streets are void the article says. Hmm, no processions, no faithful equals no tourism. No tourism equals no money. Hotels, restaurants, shops, all are empty.
A Lifetime of Faith Meets a Historic Moment | Shalom World News After forty-five years of faithful service as chaplain to Monaco’s princes, Father César Penzo stood as both witness and pilgrim in a moment etched in grace. As Pope Leo made his historic visit, he joined in the sacred rhythm of the Mass, his decades of devotion gathering in that single hour. And at its close, in a fleeting yet profound encounter, he met the Holy Father—an exchange where time, faith, and quiet joy seemed to gently embrace.

Why Jesus Had to Die The first reading introduces the suffering servant songs from Isaiah, highlighting God’s covenant with humanity through Jesus Christ. This covenant, established through Jesus’ death and resurrection, offers forgiveness of sins and divine life. As Holy Week begins, it is crucial to reflect on Jesus’ motives of love and charity, and to examine our own motives in receiving and reciprocating His gifts. Fr.

Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, has defended his decisions to restrict the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to only one location and to prohibit the use any tools for kneeling at Communion. In an interview with AmericaMagazine.org on 26 March, he began with a thinly veiled dismissal of Catholics attached to the Roman rite: "I don't want to say that they're some sort of lunatic fringe. They're not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there's goodness and holiness in that." Leo XIV Would Not Change what Francis Has Done Monsignor Martin referred to his responsibility as a bishop to maintain fidelity to the Church’s "norms". He framed his cruel decisions, especially those relating to the Traditional Latin Mass, as an act of obedience: "All I did was implement Traditionis Custodes in the Diocese of Charlotte." The bishop rejected the idea of extending the existing Masses indefinitely without a clear pastoral plan to end them: "If we need …མང་བ།
Bishop Michael Martin says he didn’t expect Leo to defend the Traditional Latin Mass and is moving to eliminate its influence, including removing altar rails and limiting the old Mass in Charlotte.
Yes Trump brought the ballroom reconstruction up when he was asked of how he felt about Charlie Kirk's assassination. I think there was a liberal comedian who was canceled when he made fun of Trump's response.

Mikhail is describing blind obedience. I suppose if you have not the gift of faith you might mistake it as blind obedience. It is not blind at all. Faith allows you to recognise truth.
Vice President JD Vance: “My advice to young men who are thinking about becoming fathers who are about to have babies is, you're never ready” “It will be shocking. It will be crazy. It will be the most difficult and the most rewarding thing that you’ve ever done.” "I would do it all again; in fact, I have one regret, it's a slight regret. I wish we had started early and had more” Don’t wait until everything is “Perfect” to have kids. Children are what perfects life.
The Church is “nothing without God” and exists to save souls and nourish them through the sacraments, Cardinal Robert Sarah, 80, told CNews on March 27. When speaking about the Church’s problems, Sarah avoids naming individuals. Throughout the interview, he uses only broad categories - "we," "people," - and shifts the blame onto modern culture and ideas such as relativism, rupture, and innovation. His consistent rhetorical strategy is to use passive and "we". The Church: Not an NGO His basic argument is that the Church cannot be reduced to a humanitarian, political, or sociological institution: "God must truly be placed at the center of our existence, at the center of our life, at the center of our concerns." And: "If we detach the Church from this mission… the Church is useless." Liturgy as Battlefield Cardinal Sarah mentions Leo XIV only briefly and in an almost deferential way when describing the liturgical crisis. "I understand that the Pope is concerned about this liturgical unity …མང་བ།
