Adriano Stefanelli, the shoemaker to the Popes presented Leo XIV with two pairs of white shoes on August 29, writes RomeReports.com. However, Leo XIV did not accept them, insisting that he only wanted black shoes. The shoemaker returned to work and recently delivered a new pair in black. Stefanelli has made the papal shoes from John Paul II to today’s Pope Leo XIV. It all began with John Paul II after he fell ill briefly during a Via Crucis. Stefanelli decided that the best way he could help was to make him a pair of shoes. He says his quality never changes, even for popes: only the finest materials are used. It is the small details that vary. John Paul II wanted rubber half-soles, Benedict XVI preferred all leather, and Francis wore embroidered slippers with a symbolic design. For Leo XIV, Stefanelli followed Benedict's model — in black. #newsBqncvgecak
He really needs some Merican Shoes by Red Wings, Slip resistant, steel toes to kick the rumps of the Maricons. With white shoes, the toes would discolor with that move.

The Westminster Cathedral Choir was joined for Vespers by the Choir of St Paul’s Cathedral, and an address was given by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd and Rt Hon Rowan Williams.

“The protection of the right to life constitutes the indispensable foundation of every other human right,” wrote Pope Leo XIV in a message ahead of today's March for Life in Washington. Leo XIV warned that “a society is healthy and truly progresses only when it safeguards the sanctity of human life.” He praised marchers for advocating “courageously and peacefully” on behalf of unborn children. Pope Francis had also supported the March for Life. Actions speak louder than words However, Leo XIV is a proponent of the so-called “seamless garment” or consistent ethic of life approach. This idea trivialises abortion by equating it with other moral and social issues, such as illegal immigration. It was popularized in the United States by pro-homosexual Cardinals Joseph Bernardin and Blase Cupich. In a 2023 address at the 25th anniversary of the Universidad Católica Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo in Chiclayo, Peru, then-Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost explicitly appealed to this approach, saying …okunengi
Novena - Oremus Like those in Gaza who kept saying Mass. And when they were praying while bombs were going off near their Church. That's how Priests should act. Not throwing Our Lord down the way this Priest just did to comfort anyone at all. The Mass must continue no matter what. Someone should have stopped the old man before he even got half way to the Priest.
Canada Ordered to Release Record: Canada’s Crown-Indigenous Relations Department has been ordered to release records related to the 2021 Kamloops Residential School grave claims. At the time, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation claimed ground-penetrating radar detected over 200 possible "unmarked graves", based on soil disturbances. However, no human remains have been found to date. The federal government provided about $12.1 million for investigation work and required progress reports. After Blacklock’s Reporter requested these records, the department delayed release. Information Commissioner Caroline Maynard ruled this violated the Access to Information Act and ordered the records released.
Fri Jan 23, 2026 - 3:55 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) – Canada’s Ministry of Indigenous Relations was reprimanded for breaching an Act of Parliament for sealing records on the yet unproven residential school grave claims and has now been ordered to release records. Recently, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty was mandated to release files it has pertaining to the 2021 claims by the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation, who said it found graves of 215 children at a former residential school. It has thus far tried to seal “confidential information” records it has on the matter. Commissioner Caroline Maynard wrote that “The department must respond to the request without further delay.” As reported by LifeSiteNews, in 2021 and 2022, the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some Canadian residential schools. The reality is, after four years, there have been no mass graves …

With John's death after battling stomach cancer for several years, many will rightly mourn the loss of the man who became one of the most prolific English language interpreters of Vatican affairs. I also mourn the loss of a mentor, whose same brash and tenacious style that convinced a restaurant owner to open for his friends on his day off allowed John the ability to penetrate Vatican walls to provide greater clarity on an often opaque institution.
R.I.P. and I hope he was right before God when he passed, but I never understood why many considered him "balanced" in his reportage when he was instrumental in pushing the heresy of the NCR crowd.
The Russian people are too innocent. They don't hold hate in their hearts like most people. So they think everyone has good intentions. And they always have hope.

Actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has turned down Leo XIV's invitation to go to confession to the Pontiff. During a climate event in Kitzbühel, Austria, Schwarzenegger mentioned that Leo XIV invited him to step aside for a few minutes, but he jokingly refused, saying it would take three hours, reported Bild.de on January 24. Schwarzenegger met Leo XIV in Castel Gandolfo during the embarrassing climate conference involving the blessing of the glacier in early October. He said that he respects Pope Leo XIV and believes the Church has allegedly great power to help protect the environment and fight pollution. #newsKejvxjquln

There is plenty of evidence to show that Bishops and Cardinals who attended Vatican Council II were concerned from the start about its timing, its content and the serious omissions found in its documents. The Council Fathers on Vatican II
US Constitution which applies to "everyone" within this country. Whether you are a US citizen or not. You have a right to be secured in your own home. A police must have a warrant in order to kick down your door. Everyone who has to see this will also be traumatized as well. Think of the children that have to see this. They will hurt the most. The highest temperature in Saint Paul on Sunday was 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius). Yet they kicked down this man's door, took him out of his home in shorts and crocs and a child's blanket his grandson used to throw on his grandfather. They refused to allow him to get his I.D. and to put on some clothes. Dragging him from his home These are dangerous times. Even in America there is no justice and our freedoms are being taken from us. Lawless government hiring lawless men who are "ALLOWED" to literally get away with murder.

These protesters are trained are being paid. Question- Why are the "leaders" unable to find out those people who are the sources paying out the money? Answer- Because they are ALL dirty rats who are involved in facilitating the destruction, the chaos, and the evil of their plots and plans of the "leaders" which are carried out by their trained and paid protestors.
It's all fake and gay... and designed to make the MSM brainwashed masses believe this is the majority opinion. I can't tell you the number of times I've spoken to a relative or coworker and they simply parrot CNN & DNC talking points all the while thinking they're progressive!
