Blessed Bartholomew of Vicenza 10-27 realcatholictv. Dominicans honor one of their own today, Blessed Bartholomew of Vicenza. This was a man who used his skills as a preacher to challenge the heresies of his day. Bartholomew was born in Vicenza around 1200. At 20, he entered the Dominicans. Following his ordination, he served in various leadership positions. As a young priest, he founded a military order whose purpose was to keep civil peace in towns throughout Italy. In 1248, Bartholomew was appointed a bishop. For most men, such an appointment is an honor and a tribute to their holiness and their demonstrated leadership skills. But for Bartholomew, it was a form of exile that had been urged by an antipapal group that was only too happy to see him leave for Cyprus. Not many years later, however, Bartholomew was transferred back to Vicenza. Despite the antipapal feelings that were still evident, he worked diligently—especially through his preaching—to rebuild his diocese and strengthen …More
Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar presented Pope Leo XIV with shoes made by Slovenian manufacturer Alpina during her Vatican visit on October 26. “They are very famous for their cross-country skiing shoes, and I also gave him some nice moccasins to wear in his leisure time,” she said, according to ACI Stampa. During their nearly 40-minute audience, Pirc Musar formally invited the Pope to visit Slovenia. She later said she understood he would find time to visit within the next two years, although no date was confirmed.

FROM SWISS GUARD TO DEACON: A CALL TO SERVE CHRIST | SG News For eight years, Didier Grandjean stood guard at the Vatican, serving two Popes and protecting the heart of the Catholic Church. Now, the former Pontifical Swiss Guard has taken another kind of oath — one that brings him a major step closer to the Catholic priesthood. Didier Grandjean was ordained a deacon on October 24, 2026, at the Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Albeuve, Switzerland. Bishop Charles Morerod of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg presided over the celebration in Grandjean’s native Gruyère region. But his road to the altar began long before seminary. Before joining the Swiss Guard, Grandjean trained as a landscaper. At 21, he entered the Pontifical Swiss Guard in 2011. He would spend eight years serving at the Vatican — first under Pope Benedict XVI and then under Pope Francis. During his years of service, Grandjean rose to the rank of vice-corporal and worked in communications for the Guard. But something …More
VON DER SCHWEIZERGARDE ZUM DIAKON: EIN RUF ZUM DIENST AN CHRISTUS | SG News Acht Jahre lang versah Didier Grandjean Wache im Vatikan, diente zwei Päpsten und schützte das Herz der katholischen Kirche. Nun hat der ehemalige Schweizergardist einen anderen Eid abgelegt – einen, der ihn dem katholischen Priestertum einen großen Schritt näher bringt. Didier Grandjean wurde am 24. Oktober 2026 in der Kirche Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Albeuve, Schweiz, zum Diakon geweiht. Bischof Charles Morerod von Lausanne, Genf und Freiburg leitete die Feier in Grandjeans Heimatregion Gruyère. Doch sein Weg zum Altar begann lange vor dem Priesterseminar. Bevor er der Schweizergarde beitrat, absolvierte Grandjean eine Ausbildung zum Landschaftsgärtner. Mit 21 Jahren trat er 2011 in die Schweizergarde ein. Acht Jahre lang diente er im Vatikan – zunächst unter Papst Benedikt XVI. und dann unter Papst Franziskus. Während seiner Dienstzeit stieg Grandjean zum Vizekorporal auf und arbeitete in der Kommunikati…More

Empty words: A Vatican spokesman told The Pillar that the group had only been denied permission to enter the basilica in a procession — such processions are typically not permitted — and could have been instead allowed to gather for prayer inside, if organized had made a specific request to do so.
"Processions are typically not permitted?" That's a lie. They had a factually documented LGTBQ+ Procession into Saint Peter's with flags and all. ....the pilgrimage was listed on the official Jubilee website’s Italian-language calendar of groups scheduled to pass through the Holy Door." LGBTQ Catholics process through Holy Door at St. …
They built a wall to keep the pilgrims out!!! The agressive LGBT group last year were welcomed with open arms. Tee Vatican looks more like a circus than a Holy Catholic Church.
Good news! Finally the people can get help from the Russian soldiers. Ukraine (I Hope) will not try to prevent or kill them for helping the people as they have been.
I think more like Zelensky must obey his boss's wife. All of them putting on a show. The ceasefire was brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, who warned that the town was “on the brink of disaster.” I don't like this at all. Not one bit. I think they are setting up Putin and Russia for a huge attack later on when the ceasefire is over with. Trump of course will blame Zelensky so he can keep his hands clean and his name not tarnished anymore than it is now. After the election many are expecting him to bomb Iran. And I think also to allow Zelensky to bomb Russia. It could be he is using Putin to get the oil first. We can only wait and see what they are up to. It probably won't be long now.
I had posted about this before with a few videos attached from RT news. Ukraine has accused Russia of preventing civilians from leaving the embattled town. However, residents who managed to escape told RT earlier this month that Alyoshki was effectively under siege by Ukrainian forces, which they said were carrying out constant attacks.
The Dangerous Deception Of Lukewarm Christianity St. Paul reminds us that we are children of light, called to live a holy life in Christ. However, many of us choose darkness over light, compromising with the world and giving in to sin. We must choose to live as children of light, allowing God’s grace to fill us and shine through us, or remain in darkness. Fr.

We all have a right to block whomever we wish. That's what the block button is for. When there are such haters and liars like you and your other buddies who come along and abuse your right to comment by attacking us, name calling, encouraging others to attack us and hate us. To post propaganda which NONE of you can prove yet. Who were warned for months to stop the hatred and leis and accusations. When you refuse to listen. I have all the right in the world to block you and anyone else who tries to harm my soul and those of others. It's also your right to block us. But do you? Of course not. you don't to seek attention. To cry and whine about us destroying your propaganda. Puppets for the globalists. That's what you are. How many times have I told you. either block me or deal with it as you should? Too many times! You always refuse. So once again you attack and accuse and then the name calling and more attention thinking someone will pity you. I want no pity. I don't need any pity. I do …More
From the text: drawing on the numerous documents and resources prepared by the Dicastery for Evangelization, it is now more urgent than ever to examine wisely and with discernment the current ways of organizing catechesis, so that the transmission of the faith is not confined to language that can be labeled as ‘scholastic,’ ‘dogmatic,’ or ‘moralistic.’
Una Voce clarifies why traditional Latin Mass pilgrims were denied access to St. Peter’s Basilica. The International Federation Una Voce (FIUV) has issued today a statement correcting misunderstandings surrounding this year’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage to Rome. According to FIUV, the Vatican Secretariat of State rejected the organizers’ request to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in August. The organizers then sought permission for a collective devotion inside the Basilica, as had been permitted in 2023 and 2024 despite the refusal of Mass. That request was also rejected in a letter dated September 30, which reached the organizers only in October. Thus, pilgrims were denied not only Mass in St. Peter’s, but also permission for organized communal prayer inside the Basilica. Meanwhile, permission was granted for a Pontifical Low Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Una Voce thanked the Cardinal Archpriest, sacristans, security personnel, and Dominican …More
Full statement “Many members and supporters take part in the pilgrimage and we as an organisation are a member of the Caetus Internationalis Summorum Pontificum; we regard the annual pilgrimage as having great significance for the movement for the Traditional Mass. We would like to correct some misunderstandings which have arisen over the organisation of the pilgrimage this year. The authorities (through the Secretariat of State) declined the Coetus’ request for the celebration of Mass in St Peter’s, in August. At that point it was hoped and assumed that it would nevertheless be possible to have a collective devotion of some kind for the pilgrims, in St Peter’s, as happened in 2023 and 2024 when permission for Mass was refused. The August letter did not rule this out, so the Coetus requested it. This request was refused in a letter dated 30th September, which was however not received by the organisers until well into October. In the meantime permission was sought and gained for a Prelatial …More
The Letter from the Secretary of State shows the Ad Petri Sedem procession was refused entry to St Peter’s on 30 September, weeks before the event, yet pilgrims were only told the day before. However the Saint Peter's Sacristy had indicated 1 pm was feasible; Secretariat of State still blocked it.

Thousands of Muslims protested in Vienna, Austria, against the ban on the hijab in schools for girls under 14 years old.
Muslimische Eltern protestierten in Wien, Österreich, gegen das Hijab-Verbot an Schulen für Mädchen unter 14 Jahren. An den öffentlichen Schulen in Wien sind 42 % der Schüler muslimisch. Allein in den Grundschulen steigt dieser Anteil auf 46 %. Diese Menschen wollen sich nicht integrieren. Sie wollen die Macht übernehmen, indem sie die Scharia durchsetzen und ein Kalifat errichten.
