Pope Leo XIV published today a video message for the climate World Summit in Vienna, Austria. He called for a "just transition" to new economic models, urged wealthy nations to provide greater financial support, and advocated the development of a new international financial framework. All this is presented within the façade and language of Catholic social teaching and care for creation and the poor. Three key quotes, emphasis added. - "These challenges [peace, natural resources, climate change] require international cooperation, together with cohesive and forward-looking multilateralism in order to find effective solutions." - "It is not merely desirable but also genuinely possible that the progress at COP30 [United Nations’ climate summit] can be followed up with a just transition toward societies where the common good takes precedence over profit, and economic models are rooted in solidarity and human dignity. Yet, this requires wealthier countries to meet their obligations to …আরও
What’s in a Religious Name? Four Catholic religious sisters share how they received their names — and what the process reveals about identity and mission.
Active nuns, like these pictured were commonplace seventy years ago, and their presence was inspirational. Now, there are practically none left, and the Church is suffering because of this vocational crisis.
Archbishop Franco Moscone of Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo has come under criticism after signing a petition calling on the Il Libro Possibile festival to reconsider hosting Israeli novelist Eshkol Nevo. According to AgenSir on June 15, Monsignor Moscone argued that intellectuals have a duty to speak clearly in the face of injustice. He added that Nevo had failed to provide sufficient "criticism and clarity" regarding the actions of the Israeli government. He insisted that "the issue is not that Nevo is Israeli." Festival organizers rejected the petition and confirmed that Nevo will participate as scheduled, noting that the writer has repeatedly spoken in favor of peace. The initiative triggered sharp reactions within the Italian Church. Archbishop Giuseppe Baturi, secretary-general of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), said that "peace is not built by preventing those who think differently from speaking." Archbishop Carmelo Pennisi of Monreale described the campaign as …আরও
With Vatican II's document NOSTRA AETATE, non-Christian religions were basically proclaimed to be equal to Catholicism. A huge can of poisonous worms was thus released.
They should have just listened and looked at all the documents that Russia held up and showed the world they had it. Instead of calling it Russian propaganda. Showing pictures of where and what they looked like. So the world will know what is going on. After Russia kept warning us and showed the proof, victoria newland had no choice but to admit it. But "TRIED" to turn it on Russia that they were afraid IF Russia found out they would try to take it for themselves. Or some such nonsense. Morons. If they wanted it for themselves, would they have tried to warn us we have them? Or just take them without a sound. Now this administration is trying to say, they are worried with the conflict going on? Russians are highly intelligent. Russia already said from day one, they must be very careful not to even go near them. That if it was bombed, diseases or the chemicals in the lab can escape. And no one knows how deadly or serious the situation is. Russia is on the ball. They know better than this …আরও
"Devil" Beer Tap in Belgian Confessional: A deconsecrated church built in 1878 in Antwerp, Belgium, has served as a foyer for Theater Elckerlyc since 2025. One confessional now contains a token machine, while another has been fitted with a self-service Duvel 6.66% beer tap. "Duvel" is Dutch for "devil" and is also the name of a Belgian beer brand. An earlier report claimed the diocese had approved the concept, but the article was corrected on 10 June: the diocese says it was not involved in the redevelopment.
I went to their website - heilighartbrouwerij.be/page/foto-s and I could not find any images with Bart Simpson or 666 on any of the images inside this deconsecrated church. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...............

Protestant Prayer and the Catholic Mass as “Different Pathways to God”: “Catholic” U.S. Vice President JD Vance appeared to relativize the Catholic Church and the Eucharist during a June 16 interview on Fox & Friends. Speaking about what he called the strength of “the American church,” Vance emphasized the diversity of [contradicting] Christian denominations: “You can't be an American Catholic or an American Pentecostal or an American Southern Baptist without running into someone who has a slightly different perspective on faith.” He added: “It's all about Jesus.” Vance sees "different ways" by which people find God: “Different ways, sometimes with 'snake handlers' [evangelicals in Kentucky], sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass, but I think all these pathways really matter and they're part of the reason why we do find our path to God.”
JD Vance: "One of the things I love about the American church is there are all of these different pathways to God ... sometimes with snake handlers, sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass. But I think all of these pathways really matter."
Today, Archbishop Carlo Viganò published the personal letter that he had sent to Pope Leo XIV in January. It appears that - despite Viganò having denied that Francis was a legitimate pope - he recognizes Leo XIV. Monsignor Viganò addresses Leo XIV as "Holiness," asks him to exercise his authority, and seeks an audience with him. Archbishop Viganò recounts his long career in Vatican service, argues that he was punished for exposing corruption and doctrinal problems in the Church, explains how retirement led him to reject Vatican II and the post-conciliar direction of the Church, defends himself against the charge of schism, and urges Leo XIV to break with the errors of the Francis era and the synodal project. The letter contains a noticeably heavy use of first-person pronouns and is full of self-reference, emphasis on personal integrity, descriptions of persecution and mistreatment, frequent presentation of himself as a key witness to major events, and relatively little self-criticism …আরও
I would like to see the first letter he sent to Leo, the original letter he sent when he first requested a Private Audience. That’s what would tell the story.

In our time, authority is deeply discredited, both in society and in the Church, whether because of excess or deficiency. This was said by Father Francisco Rivera, 46, on June 14 in an interview with VidaNuevaDigital.com. He was elected on May 20 as the new abbot of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa María de Huerta in Soria, Spain. It is one of Spain’s great monasteries and one of the most important historic houses of the Cistercian Order. Father Rivera acknowledged that the number of vocations has declined drastically: “We can blame the world, its values or lack of them, young people, social media, and so on. But I believe consecrated life must also undertake a rigorous examination of conscience. Perhaps we have become a kind of tasteless salt. And we know what the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel about that.” For the new abbot, the best vocation campaign is “to live, in our case, a serious and coherent monastic life, in fidelity to our monastic commitments and to the Rule of Saint …আরও

"All Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues Are Sacred": Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger of Detroit spoke at the dedication of the new mosque in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, on June 5. He said there was nowhere he felt greater honor, fraternity, and kindness, and that he had sensed "the divine presence" from the moment he arrived. Echoing the imam, he said that all present belong to the same human family and described all churches, mosques, and synagogues alike as "sacred" places where God reaches out to humanity - places that would bring "all of humanity" into deeper communion with "our one God."

Nuncio’s Humanitarian Convoy Halted by Israeli Forces: On June 11, Israeli forces stopped a humanitarian convoy led by Nuncio Paolo Borgia as it was delivering aid to Christian villages in southern Lebanon. The convoy was held for about an hour near the Israeli-controlled buffer zone, amid nearby gunfire and ongoing military operations. After a 12-hour journey, the aid reached its destination.

Let's do this again. Shall we @Jeffrey Ade ? Who slaughters the souls? The worse of the heretics and sinners? According to Pope "Saint" Pius X are the protestants. Who called for an inquisition and why? Pope "Saint" Pius V. Because of the....... Protestants. How many Popes reached out to Russia? Many. What was Sister Lucia so concerned about from Russia and about Russia? COMMUNISM! Who brought communism INTO Russia? NON RUSSIANS! But you refuse to admit it because of your agenda to turn Catholics and everyone else against A country that GOD loves and smiles down on. A country that The Blessed Mother loves and protects. But that's ok. GOD knows all and sees all. You just don't seem to care about that. GOD chose them for our punishment. And better yet is he chose Russia along with The Blessed Mother to bring the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart! TWO GREAT HONORS! And not even a hater and liar like you can't take it from Russia!

@mccallansteve I'm not sure who that comment is meant for. Everyone knows I am concerned only about the hate and lies some (mainly one) enjoys posting to spread the hate and lies to others. I don't worry about the jews and what they do. They are in GOD'S Hands and in His plans. I can post a lot of things I see about what they are doing in America. But there is more hate than I care for on gtv. Same with scandals. I never saw so many people seeking out and reading such trash in my life. I avoid it like the plague. When I read the comments, I see all it's about is gossiping. The hatred I feel through the comments which I also like to avoid like the plague. But sometimes I catch a few comments and then regret it. Our only duty is to pray for everyone's conversion. So I pray for conversions. GOD knows all and he sees all. Yet people on gtv don't worry about GOD and what he sees and hears from them. I think, talk about and pray for is, One Fold and One Shepherd. And that will be done with …আরও
“Francis Made Moral Questions Accessible to Young People”: Leo XIV's new Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, Montse Alvarado, praised Francis' controversial legacy talking to CTSA in June 2025. At Francis' funeral, she reported about young people who told her: "I'm not Catholic, but Pope Francis was my shepherd," and, "I left the faith a long time ago, but I'm here for him." According to Alvarado, they saw Francis as a guide on "the big, difficult questions," including moral questions, and as someone who "espouses church teaching in an accessible way."
Francis made moral teachings understandable and accessible to young people. This is how Montse Alvarado, the new prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, spoke of Francis' legacy following his death.
