Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

St. Therese of Lisieux ~ We don't have to be discouraged about anything - weakness, failure, sin, or suffering. We can trust that God will make us a saint...
What happened to working out salvation in fear and trembling. What happened to dying to oneself what happened to with all your heart soul mind and strength? There is nothing small or little about any of this. This is not a little way. This is the only way ,anything else sounds very Novus Ordo.
The FSSPX’s Christ the King pilgrimage opened in Lourdes on October 24, despite Bishop Jean-Marc Micas’ ban on celebrations inside the sanctuary’s basilicas. Pilgrims gathered under a large tent at Maison Saint-Ignace for four Masses. The day also included Stations of the Cross on the Espélugues hillside and individual prayers at the Grotto of Massabielle, as the faithful continued their pilgrimage despite the restrictions.

Shevchuk brings ‘Ukraine’s prayers’ and list of prisoners to Pope Leo Shevchuk brings ‘Ukraine’s prayers’ and list of … The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church meets Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, thanking him for his appeals for peace and the Holy See’s humanitarian efforts on behalf of prisoners and children, as well as its concern for the people of Oleshky. Fortuna E channel
The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, came to his audience with Pope Leo XIV bearing gifts, the prayers and gratitude of the Ukrainian people, and a list of hundreds of prisoners of war held in Russia. According to a statement from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the Major Archbishop handed the list to the Pope during their meeting in the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace. It was his fifth meeting with Pope Leo, whose efforts for peace between Russia and Ukraine have included recent telephone calls with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. In those conversations, the Pope appealed for a truce in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, where civilians face a desperate shortage of food, water and medicine. Major Archbishop Shevchuk expressed particular gratitude for the calls—the conversation with President Putin took place while the Pope was in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital—and for the attention given to the “humanitarian catastrophe” …Magis
Jane Allen was suffering from anorexia. She traveled to Colorado seeking treatment. Instead, her doctor offered assisted suicide — a prescription for death. Her father intervened just in time. Jane began to heal — eating again, tapering off morphine. The anorexia clinic dropped her, calling her a “liability.” When Jane chose life, her doctors walked away. Assisted suicide isn’t healthcare. It’s preying on the sick and vulnerable.
Yes, communism which NON Russians brought to the people and killed tens of millions of CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX. Some people ought to take out all the hate from their hearts and their lying and get rid of the ignorance they speak. What was Sister Lucia concerned about? communism. What does the Church teach? communism is a sin and evil. Who did the Saintly Popes reach out to? The Russian Orthodox. Who did the Russian Orthodox reach out to? Saintly Popes. Who did most of those Saintly Popes and more condemned fiercely? protestantism. The slaughterer of souls. And also the mind. YES! The errors of Russia! But NOT of the Russian People! As the Church has said, taught and shown for centuries.
A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc

Poor beautiful Italy. Did the people actually vote for this? Or was it forced on them? Was there a vote? Was it fixed? I don't believe the Italian people wanted this.

A Vatican source has denied media reports that Pope Leo XIV will undergo immunotherapy. The denial follows a report published by Brazil’s GloboNews on October 23. It claimed that the Pope would receive pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The denial was reported on Sunday by the Rome-based Catholic news agency I.MEDIA and the Italian news agency Adnkronos, both citing unnamed Vatican sources. #newsFtvwkchrit
Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop Who Offered to Pachamama Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese.

LiveLeak Huge clashes in Tirana, #Albania. Protesters attack police with fireworks. The situation in Tirana has completely spiraled out of control. Mass student protests have been ongoing for 12 days. —— In solidarity with the students, the Democratic Party (DP) held its own march, led by deputies Flamur Noka and Agron Gjekmarkaj. Demonstrators began their action in front of the government building, where they burned wooden chairs that Prime Minister Edi Rama had placed earlier as an invitation to "dialogue." This time Rama went further and set up a stone table on the street with the inscription "dialogue," but protesters destroyed this installation as well.

Woman Distributes Communion at Leo XIV’s Eucharist — One Communicant Bare-Chested During the Eucharist celebrated by Leo XIV this evening at the Port of Rimini, a woman was spreading Communion in the hand as if it were cookies. One male attendee even received Communion bare-chested, without a shirt.
Sam shows us another Catholic Church near Moscow. I have shown pictures already of The Cathedral of the Annunciation. Now we see another Catholic Church near Moscow. Today I’m visiting a typical provincial Russian Catholic church — a small, peaceful place many people outside the country don’t even realise exists. While Russia is known for its Orthodox churches and golden domes, there are Catholic communities quietly living their everyday lives across the country, especially in provincial towns. As a foreigner, stepping into one of these churches feels both familiar and unique. The architecture, the atmosphere, the people, the traditions… they create a blend of Western and Russian influences you rarely see anywhere else. In this video, you’ll see: – What a Catholic church in provincial Russia actually looks like – The architecture, interior, and atmosphere – How Catholic communities live within a largely Orthodox country – The differences and similarities to Western churches – A quiet …Magis
