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.

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 …Zêde

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 …Zêde
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.

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 …Zêde
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 …Zêde
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.

Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …Zêde
They should distance themselves for they are fakes and their prayers are not heard . Why did they go there if they didn’t mean it? Hoping for more resettlement money?
"How dare those bishops pray with Trump!" Meanwhile... Pro-abortion Dems are given awards by 'catholic' dioceses. Oh, and some bishops are telling their 'faithful' to make sure to vote blue! Cuz the poor & refugees and stuff.
The Rosary: A Most Extraordinarily Efficacious Devotion by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira To be a devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary for a Catholic is not a matter of preference, inclination or sympathy, much less sentimentality. It is a matter of life or death, since it involves effectively wanting or not eternal salvation. If it is true that the only necessary mediator between Heaven and Earth is Our Lord Jesus Christ, it is also certain that no grace is communicated to man without the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin Mother of God. This is how Divine Providence was pleased to arrange the supernatural order. It is therefore very important for the faithful to honor Mary Most Holy with tender, filial and strong devotion, using the means that best contribute to maintaining in their souls the sentiments of true love and deep veneration for the Holy Mother of God. Singular among these means, in the very authoritative opinion of the Roman Pontiffs, stands the frequent recitation of the …Zêde
When I was a child, I was praying the Rosary in the back seat of my family's car, when the brakes gave out and my father went through a red light in a busy intersection in Los Angeles. There was no accident, as Our Lady protected us.
Leo XIV appointed this guy: Peter G. Kirchschläger, 49, a social ethicist at the University of Lucerne, has called the Church’s ban on women’s ordination an unresolved human-rights problem and argued that the state should pressure the Church over it. Rejecting the argument that dissatisfied women can simply leave the Church, he responded: “That would be protecting the perpetrator.”
Leo XIV’s Newest Appointments: WEF, Agenda 2030 and Women-Must-Become-Priests On 18 August 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed twelve new consultors to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. Leo XIV fills the Vatican's social-policy apparatus with mostly anti-Catholic figures. 1. Peter G. Kirchschläger, 49, Social ethicist, University of Lucerne, Switzerland In December 2018, he said that the Catholic Church has an unresolved human-rights problem regarding the impossibility of women's ordination to the priesthood. He even claimed that the state "may not look away" but has an obligation to press the Church on it. When presented with the argument that women dissatisfied with Catholic teaching can leave, he answered: “That would be protecting the perpetrator.” 2. Kathryn A.

I have no doubt that the false church will one day ordain women, and one day have a women pope to go along with their phony church. One thing for sure, I'm sticking with the Catholic faith no matter what.

FSSPX to Continue Lourdes Pilgrimage Despite Bishop’s Restrictions The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has announced that it will continue its annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. Following the episcopal consecrations on July 1 in Ecône, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes withdrew permission for the SSPX to celebrate public Masses, administer sacraments, or organize public prayers at Lourdes. In an August 22 statement, Fr. Gonzague Peignot, superior of the FSSPX in France, announced that the Fraternity intends to continue coming to Lourdes every year, “Our Lady does not deserve to be abandoned despite the obstacles,” he said. The FSSPX expressed 'sorrow and incomprehension', questioning the bishop's decision and pointing to the interreligious Christian-Muslim pilgrimage that was welcomed at the sanctuary in October 2025. For now, the FSSPX faithful intend to remain present at Lourdes, but their pilgrimage will no longer be able to take the same public form as in previous …Zêde
