Leo XIV praises the French Revolution’s motto of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”. Today in Paris, Pope Leo XIV linked France’s revolutionary motto - “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” [or death] - with the Gospel. Speaking to French civil authorities at the Élysée Palace, Leo XIV called the three principles “universal ethical imperatives” that “find in the Gospel message an inexhaustible source of inspiration and fulfillment.” The motto stems from the demonic French Revolution, which unleashed severe persecution of the Catholic Church. During the revolutionary period, clergy and religious were executed, imprisoned, deported or forced into exile, while churches and religious institutions were suppressed.

Please pray for Sister Maria Hilda's mother who passed away yesterday!
On 4 November 1859, Sister Teresa Gesta, a Franciscan Tertiary in Foligno, Italy, died suddenly. Twelve days later, a sister in the convent reportedly heard agonised groans before Sister Teresa appeared through thick smoke. Saying, “Behold a proof of the mercy of God,” she pressed her hand against a door, leaving a dark, burned impression still preserved today. But the deeper message is not the handprint: Purgatory is God’s mercy—the final purification of those who die in His friendship before entering Heaven. It also reminds us of an ancient Christian duty: pray for the dead. Offer Masses, prayers and sacrifices, especially for forgotten souls. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
Trump avoids fake-news journalists, Leo XIV welcomes them. A CNN reporter questioned Leo XIV aboard today’s papal flight to Paris about President Trump barring CNN and other outlets he calls “fake news” from the White House. Leo avoided naming Trump or CNN. Instead, he stressed that all journalists are welcome to cover him. “I’m very happy that here, you are all welcome,” Leo said, adding that “good coverage” is “very important.”
Pope Leo reportedly responded to a liberal journalist about Trump’s CNN ban that he is ‘very happy that here you are all welcome, and good coverage, I think, is very important.’

eng. This Is NOT AI — Man Actually Fights a T-800 Robot - And This is Only The Start A man fights a six foot tall T-800 robot replica. It's not AI. It's a from a company called REK, Robot Entertainment Kombat. From there it's a deep dive into just how fast the robot revolution is moving. The Helix household robot folds laundry and makes beds, Optimus aiming for retail shelves by 2027, and predictions of a billion humanoid machines walking around within five years. Then things swerve into a genuinely strange headline from the UN, where a major push is underway to rebrand "artificial intelligence" as "super intelligence" — and why that name change might actually make more sense than it sounds. There's a breakdown of the difference between AGI and ASI, a warning about the coming wave of AI agents scamming refunds out of unsuspecting companies, and a look at why everyone feels like the world is speeding up faster than anyone can keep up with.

Pope Leo XIV went to the Élysée and, with Emmanuel Macron sitting in front of him, delivered a theoretical lesson on what laïcité should mean. A "just secularism", he said, does not consist in excluding religion from the public sphere or from education, “Catholic schools have their full place in the educational landscape of a country like France.” Leo XIV greeted not simply “the French,” but “all those who live in this country.” Together, he said, they form “one people,” whose diversity of origins enriches democratic life and “the art of living together.” Leo XIV also went – in words only - into one of France’s fiercest current debates: euthanasia, pushed through by Macron. The pope warned against expecting science to provide an answer and consolation for every human suffering, and explicitly named genetic manipulation, surrogacy, the buying of organs and “the offer of a programmed death.” “The protection of the right to life constitutes the indispensable foundation of every other human …Bivule
Leo XIV to the Civil Authorities of the French Republic: “A Christian involved in public life, acting in the light of his faith, cannot be considered a proselytizer and a threat to the homeland. Proper secularism does not consist of excluding religion from the public space.”
St John’s Church in Hyde Park, London, hosted Modest Fashion Week London, turning the church into a runway for an event that included women modeling hijabs, niqabs and other “modest” fashion. Footage from inside the Church of England venue showed models walking down the catwalk in Islamic dress, including hijabs and face-covering niqabs.
More embarrassment for the Church of England. St John’s Church in London hosted the ‘Modest Fashion Week’, with parades of hijab- and niqab-wearing women.
Some 2,500 journalists are covering Leo XIV’s visit to France, with special programming across the country’s main TV channels, radio stations, newspapers and news sites. Today, large crowds filled central Paris for the Pope’s visit. The scale of the turnout comes after days of unusually extensive media coverage of Leo XIV and his trip.
Incredible crowds in central Paris for His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.
Keby žil dnes, ani by neveril vlastným očiam kam ľudstvo upadlo a tí čo si hovoria kresťania si vlčie rúcha obliekli a aj politické strany založili a nie ,,niektorí ľudia”ale použil by spojenie ,,mnohí ľudia” a nie na škodu, ale na svoju hanbu toto robia!
During today’s flight to France, Leo XIV was not asked any serious or hard question like about his episcopal appointments. He was asked: "Are you a happy person?" Leo XIV responded: "Happy, yes, I think so." Then he added: "Despite the difficulties, I find it in Faith. I am content with a choice made many years ago, which I still renew every time. But I tell myself: following Jesus is the happiest thing in life." Speaking of the weight of his mission, he said: "It's heavy… it tires me much more, but God is great, he is much greater than us." In response to questions about his fluency in French, Leo XIV answered he has been practicing a little bit, but he is not using Duolingo anymore, as had been reported in certain media outlets.
Durante il volo papale verso la Francia, che accoglierà Papa Leone XIV a Parigi, Lourdes e Metz, al Santo Padre è stata posta una domanda molto personale: «È una persona felice?» Papa Leone ha risposto: «Felice, sì, penso di sì». Poi ha aggiunto: «Nonostante le difficoltà, però trovo nella fede. Sono contento di una scelta fatta molti anni fa, che ancora rinnovo ogni volta. Però mi dico: seguire Gesù è la cosa più felice della vita».
Here he should have said: next question. "I am glad that you are all here,” Pope Leo said aboard plane to France in response to CNN Vatican reporter who asked for comment on the banning of some journalists from White House. "It is necessary and I think it is very important to have good media coverage everywhere and for everyone,” the Pope said.
The first question I would have asked would have been a very simple one: what, when the aircraft takes off again at the end of these few days, do we actually want to have achieved?
Cardinal Tagle, Pope Leo XIV’s delegate, takes on the celebrity priest culture at today’s beatification of Blessed Fulton Sheen: “Dear priests, blessed are you when you tell the good news of Jesus to all people. St. Paul in the second reading is blessed because he does not preach himself, but rather Jesus Christ as Lord. “To preach your own wisdom rather than that of Jesus is falsifying the word of God, according to St. Paul. And it is not mission. It is not blessedness. “Blessed and beautiful are your feet when you announce God’s salvation and peace, according to the prophet Isaiah in the first reading. To journey on land, water, and air while proclaiming destructive words and doing violent acts is not mission. It is not blessedness. “Blessed are you when the risen Lord works with you and confirms the Gospel you preach through his miraculous signs. “To be self-sufficient and self-affirming — "congratulations to myself" — that is a bad sign. It is not a miraculous sign. It is not mission …Bivule
