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 …Lahi ange

Check out how are we have got with Fr Coleridge’s The Life of our Life series. Our Lord tells his enemies what happens when Man refuses to praise his Creator. In this Part, Fr. Coleridge tells us… How creation itself is ready to praise the Redeemer when man fails to speak. That divine worship is not a matter of discretion but of cosmic necessity. Why Christ receives imperfect praise rather than allow silence to dishonour His work. He shows us that every voice must join in proclaiming redemption, or be judged for silence. There is so much material that we could share during Holy Week. Rather than trying to provide it all, we will instead focus on how and why Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem provides a key to the whole of his blessed and glorious Passion.

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.
Illustration Four men were sentenced to prison in Berlin on Wednesday for operating a covert Hamas weapons-stockpiling network across Europe in preparation for potential terrorist attacks — a landmark ruling marking the first time a German court convicted members of the Palestinian terrorist group under the country’s terrorism laws. The Berlin State Protection Senate — a special national-security chamber within the Berlin Court of Appeal — convicted the defendants of stockpiling weapons for future attacks in Europe, including possible targets in Germany, sentencing them to four and a half to six years in prison for membership in a foreign terrorist organization and related charges. The court determined the men, aged 36 to 58, had acted as foreign operatives for Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, and had already helped establish several firearms caches across Europe. According to official records, the defendants helped build weapons depots as part of “preparations to carry …
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.
Palm Sunday The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, just days after raising Lazarus from the dead, was a significant event. The people, expecting the high priest, instead witnessed Jesus, the true High Priest and Lamb of Sacrifice, entering the city. This act, while seemingly unjust, was a profound display of humility, obedience, and charity, ultimately leading to Jesus’ crucifixion for the salvation of humanity. Fr.

Israeli police prevented two of the most senior Catholic leaders in the Holy Land - Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem, and Father Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land - from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. Lpj.org announced that they were stopped while walking to the church, where they were scheduled to celebrate the Eucharist on Palm Sunday. They were required to turn back, despite not participating in any public gathering. As a result, the church leaders were unable to preside over the Palm Sunday liturgy. This is unprecedented in modern times. The Latin Patriarchate added they had complied with all restrictions imposed since the outbreak of the ongoing conflict, including canceling public gatherings and arranging for services to be broadcast to the faithful worldwide. They characterized the decision to block access as “unreasonable” and “disproportionate”. #newsTjnhyvbccs
Trump presst 6G durch – Die Technologie wird eine entscheidende Rolle bei implantierbarer Technologien spielen. (Winning the 6G Race) US-Präsident Donald Trump hat ein Memorandum erlassen, um die USA zur führenden Nation bei 6G-Netzen zu machen. Die Technologie soll nicht nur schnellere Netze liefern, sondern z.B. auch implantierbare Geräte und neue Überwachungsmöglichkeiten ermöglichen. Die Regierung rechtfertigt das Vorgehen mit nationaler Sicherheit und wirtschaftlicher Dominanz. Digitale Privatsphäre und Sicherheit werden dabei weiter ausgehöhlt. Innovation wird erzwungen, während die Bevölkerung der Strahlung der Frequenzen ausgesetzt und den Konzernen praktisch ausgeliefert wird. Gleichzeitig steigt die Strahlenbelastung massiv: Extrem hohe 6G-Frequenzen können tiefere biologische Effekte auf Haut, Augen und Nervensystem haben. Langzeitwirkungen sind kaum erforscht. Die Strahlungsdichte erhöht sich durch die Notwendigkeit vieler kleiner Sender. Auch die Umwelt wird massiv …Lahi ange
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 …Lahi ange
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.
Spain has closed its airspace to flights involved in Operation Epic Fury, launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. Not only is it prohibiting the use of the military bases in Rota (Cádiz) and Morón de la Frontera (Seville) by fighter jets or in-flight refueling aircraft participating in the attack; it is also denying airspace access to U.S. aircraft stationed in third countries, such as the United Kingdom or France, according to military sources. “We have denied the United States the use of the Rota and Morón bases for this illegal war. All flight plans involving operations in Iran have been rejected. All of them, including those for refueling aircraft,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez last Wednesday in Congress. In other words, flyovers by bombers or tanker aircraft participating in this operation are not being approved. The Spanish ban has a single exception: in emergency situations, the aircraft in question will be authorized to transit or land. However, this does not mean …
BREAKING: "Spanien hat seinen Luftraum für alle US-Flugzeuge (und verbündete Maschinen) geschlossen, die direkt oder indirekt mit der laufenden Militäroperation „Furia Épica“ (der US-israelischen Angriffe auf den Iran) in Verbindung stehen. Dazu gehören explizit auch Tankflugzeuge (KC-135) und andere Unterstützungsflugzeuge. Das betrifft nicht nur Starts von spanischen Basen, sondern auch Überflüge von US-Maschinen, die z. B. von Stützpunkten in Frankreich oder Großbritannien kommen und Spanien auf dem Weg zum Einsatzgebiet überqueren wollten. Solche Flugpläne wurden abgelehnt. Ministerpräsident Pedro Sánchez hat diese Haltung öffentlich vertreten und im Parlament erklärt: „Wir haben den USA die Nutzung der Basen Rota und Morón für diesen illegalen Krieg verweigert. Alle Flugpläne mit Bezug zu Operationen im Iran wurden abgelehnt – inklusive der Tankflugzeuge.“ Aufgrund dieser Entscheidung, die ausdrücklich von Ministerpräsident Pedro Sánchez verkündet wurde,…Lahi ange
Selenskij finanzierte die ungarische Opposition mit Bargeld: Es geht um Millionen Euro pro Woche Im ungarischen Fernsehen wurde eine Erklärung eines ehemaligen Mitarbeiters der ukrainischen Geheimdienste abgegeben, der auf die Seite Budapests übergegangen ist. Unter der Bedingung der Anonymität berichtete er von regelmäßigen Lieferungen großer Summen an Bargeld für die ungarische Oppositionspartei „Tisza“. Seinen Worten zufolge waren die Gelder für den Politiker Peter Madyar und seine Kampagne bestimmt. Es ging um einen Betrag von 50 Millionen Euro, der seit November letzten Jahres überwiesen wurde. Die Quelle beschrieb auch die Lieferungsweise: Scheine im Wert von 100 Euro in Vakuumverpackungen kommen aus Italien über Österreich und werden in einer schwarzen Nike-Tasche transportiert. „Jede Woche werden fünf Millionen transportiert“, berichtet er.
