On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross. On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?
Pope Leo XIV: “I'm told that President Trump recently stated that he would like to end the war. Hopefully he's looking for an 'off-ramp'. Hopefully he's looking for a way to decrease the amount of violence, of bombing, which would be a significant contribution to removing the hatred that's being created and that's increasing constantly in the Middle East and elsewhere. I appeal to all leaders, come back to the table, to dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems, let's look for ways to reduce the amount of violence that we're promoting, that peace - especially at Easter - might reign in our hearts."
Leo XIV. fordert Trump auf, noch heute Abend einen Weg zu finden, den Krieg im Iran zu beenden. „Mir wurde berichtet, dass Präsident Trump kürzlich erklärt hat, er wolle den Krieg beenden. Hoffen wir, dass er nach einem Ausweg sucht, hoffen wir, dass er nach einem Weg sucht, die Gewalt und die Bombardierungen einzudämmen – was einen wesentlichen Beitrag dazu leisten würde, den Hass zu beseitigen, der sich im Nahen Osten und anderswo aufstaut und stetig wächst.“

"PSALM 28 Bring to Our Lady, O ye sons of God: bring to Our Lady praise and reverence. Give strength to thy saints, O holy Mother: and thy blessing to those who praise and glorify thee. Hear the groans of those who sigh to thee: and despise not the prayers of those who invoke thy name. Let thy hand be ready to help me: and thy ear inclined to my prayer. Let the heavens and the earth bless thee: the sea and the world. Glory be to the Father, etc."
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD; Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (Aged 52-53); Cardinal; Teacher of the Faith; Seraphic Doctor; Doctor of the Church; Scholastic Theologian, Philosopher] “PSALM 25 Judge me, O Lady, for I have departed from my innocence: but because I have hoped in thee I shall not become weak. Enkindle my heart with the fire of thy love: and with the girdle of chastity bind my reins. For thy mercy and thy clemency are before my eyes: and I was delighted in the voice of thy praise. O Lady, I have loved the beauty of thy face: and I have revered thy sacred majesty. Praise ye her name, for she is holy: let her wonders be declared forever. Glory be to the Father, etc. PSALM 26 O Lady, may thy light be the splendor of my countenance: and let the serenity of thy grace shine upon my mind. Raise up my head: and I will sing a psalm to thy name. Turn not away thy face from me: for from my youth up I have greatly desired thy beauty and thy …ད་རུང་།
Nico Spuntoni corroborated reports that Cardinal Arthur Roche, 76, could be ousted as Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy and become the Patron of the Order of Malta. The position of "Patron" gained notoriety when Pope Francis appointed Cardinal Raymond Burke, 77, to it (2014–2017) in order to remove him as Prefect of the Apostolic Signature. The current patron is Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda SJ, 83. He was Francis’ trusted canon lawyer and the proponent of a reform that was not well received within the Order of Malta. He is also an enemy of Opus Dei. Spuntoni was the first journalist to report that Archbishop Paolo Rudelli, a pro-Abu-Dhabi-document prelate, would become the Substitute, second man, in the Vatican Secretary of State. The Grand Master of the Order of Malta, fra John Dunlap, is pushing for Cardinal Ghirlanda to be removed. He wants Cardinal Roche, who is close to Dunlap. News of Cardinal Roche’s probable dismissal was first reported by his enemy, the English journalist …ད་རུང་།
Cardinal Cock-Roach should be simply bounced out of any position whatsoever! He is a pompous low-intelligent, self-important, fake-catholic pompous ass. The sooner he goes the better. What an absolute disaster along with the Francis he has been for the Church. Please God soon!
I had Grok break down Trump’s EO, and there were some interesting points: 1) This EO includes the involvement of DHS creating state citizenship lists for every state. DHS’s role in election security is expanding. 2) Mail-in ballots are being reformed, with “unique intelligent mail barcodes”, and these ballots can only be mailed to citizens on the state citizenship lists created by DHS and SSA. 3) The order also directs the AG to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of election-related crimes, particularly related to distributing/collecting illegal ballots to/from non-citizens. In conclusion, Trump is using DHS to secure elections via managing the voter rolls and preventing mail-in ballot fraud, while the DOJ has been instructed to prosecute any attempts to cheat. This is what the Dems have been worried about the entire time. This is why they have been refusing to fund DHS and throwing a fit about ICE. It was always about election security. BioClandestine
I found this one of the clearest summaries of what took place concerning election integrity. It’s not an option, not a choice but rather a decision to save the republic and by extension other peoples. It is my opinion that the Church is directly impacted as well.
@Renvoie les riches les mains vides Thank you again for taking on the Russian influencers on Gloria TV! I am glad there are others willing to fight for the truth of Our Lady of Fatima's message! As for @Instaurare Omnia in Christo's idea that "The Russian government tried to kick them out. But the freemasons used Russia's own laws to prevent it." It is naive to think the laws that promote evil in Russia are accidental. Russia is in fact corrupt to the core and merely deceiving the gullible Catholics. And here on Gloria TV all these Russian influencers can post are RT TV articles. Or they post something a Pope said about Russia as if that's a magisterial teaching! Or they quote a "prophecy" that isn't aplicable in this circumstance. They are bombarding this platform with disinformation. And when you quote a Papal Encyclical they just assume it doesn't have anything to do with the modern age. They are completely modernist on the subject of the "Errors of Russia." God bless you!
On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
Supreme Court rules 8–1 to reject a law banning talk therapy to help kids struggling with gender confusion. No child is transgender. Huge win for protecting children’s innocence.
The Colorado Court is stacked with liberal judges. They have a habit of being overturned. Their ruling that Trump could not be on the 2024 ballot in Colorado was overturned 9-0 by SCOTUS. We would no longer be recognizable had Hillary and Kamala beat Trump. Their court picks would certainly have upheld the leftists.
Four days ago, Pope Leo XIV praised Christian-Muslim “dialogue” during Wednesday’s meeting with the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa. On Palm Sunday, dozens of Christians were slaughtered in Northern Nigeria.
Girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever before — and the numbers are shocking. In the late 1800s, the average age was around 16–17. By the early 1900s it had dropped to 12.5–13. Today it’s down to about 11, with some Black and Hispanic girls showing signs as early as 8, 9, or even 6–7 years old — the earliest recorded in history. Patrick Bet-David asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary why this is happening. Makary pointed to the modern environment: constant exposure to substances and chemicals with estrogen-like binding properties (found even in river water) that partially activate estrogen receptors. He called it a “huge issue” and an existential threat to human development, noting the age has been dropping by about a week and a half every year for the last 30 years. He also mentioned that in Europe, where some of these exposures may be lower, puberty still starts later (14–15 in some cases), and that American medicine has largely treated this as a minor footnote rather than …ད་རུང་།

During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …ད་རུང་།

"Fun Church" in Holy Week: Fr. Simon Teller, O.P., published a video on March 29 about the different ways people use palms on Palm Sunday. The examples include the deconstructionist, the artist, the hoarder, the tickler, the sword fighter, and the panda mode. Fr. Teller is a chaplain at Providence College in the United States.
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11
I agree that this video is in very bad taste because they are mocking/ridiculing a sacramental whether they realize it or not. I wouldn't consider making a cross out of the palms "artistic" but it was probably the only correct or pious way to use the palm.
Diana Panchenko @Panchenko_X Ukrainian elite doesn’t want the war to stop. Simple example: A small-town customs officer lives in a $1'000'000 house, owns 4 cars, and keeps $250'000 cash at home (per his declaration). At 32 he “got disabled,” now collects a pension and vacations at resorts - all on American and European taxpayers’ money. M'while, ordinary Ukrainians are snatched off the streets like animals. Audit Ukraine!
