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.

"Uniting spiritually" with pagans and heretics? At today’s Angelus, Leo XIV remembered the interreligious Assisi scandal of 1986. He said: “The day after tomorrow, October 27, let us unite spiritually with the heads of Churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi on the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II.”
Papa leone all'Angelus invita a pregare per lo "Spirito di Assisi" • Sito: HOME - COMMUNITY OF SANT'EGIDIO All’Angelus in Piazza San Pietro, Leone XIV sottolinea che serve un cuore nuovo "capace di accogliere e di vivere il grande comandamento dell'amore"; un comandamento che non è un obbligo nè una imposizione ma l'esigenza propria del desiderio dell'uomo di essere in comunione con Dio
«THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» Card. Roger Etchegaray «THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» The spirit of Assisi: it was Pope John Paul II who coined the expression. Since October 27th 1986, this "spirit" has been felt a little everywhere, losing none of the power of its first flowering. I have no intention of playing the old gardener, but, having been a fascinated witness of its germination in the Pope's thought and the privileged artisan of its blooming, I feel I can affirm: on that day I heard the world's heart-beat. A brief meeting on a hill, a word or two, a gesture, sufficed for fragmented humanity to joyfully rediscover its original unity. When, at the end of a grey morning, a rainbow appeared in the sky over Assisi, those leaders of religions, called together by the audacious prophet of one of them, Pope John Paul II, saw in it a pressing call to brotherhood: no one could doubt that it was prayer which had won this visible sign of concord between God and the descendants of Noah. At San Rufino Cathedral …Àteru
The Devil's Advocate (West novel) The Devil's Advocate is a 1959 novel by Australian author Morris West. It forms part of West's "Vatican" sequence of novels, along with The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963), The Clowns of God (1981), and Lazarus (1990). Plot Father Blaise Meredith, an urbane and cultured English priest who has passed his unexceptional life at the Vatican, is diagnosed with a terminal disease. He is sent from Rome to a small Calabrian village (Gemello Maggiore) as 'devil's advocate', investigating the life of Giacomo Nerone, a dead local being promoted for sainthood. Meredith has been chosen by Cardinal Marotta for this task, as someone learned and meticulous, perhaps lacking in charity or passion, but not in precision. Meredith expects to die quite soon. Gemello Maggiore's residents are promoting Nerone's cult which will bring prestige and prosperity to a typically post-war, impoverished, rural community in Southern Italy. Meredith discovers that Nerone was in fact a …Àteru

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
Trust God's Purpose When Life Seems Unjust Difficulties in life are not punishments from God, but rather opportunities for growth and purification. God allows challenges for those who are acceptable to Him, to strengthen their faith and prepare them for greater things. This perspective helps us understand trials as rewards, not punishments, and encourages us to focus on God’s intentions rather than human actions. Fr.

Leo XIV-appointed, divorced Prefetessa for Media calls her appointment “bizarre”. Montserrat Alvarado, 39, is the first American, the first woman and the youngest prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, she told EWTN in an interview broadcast on October 23. She added, unprompted: “I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre.” Alvarado spoke about annulment almost as if it were a Church-sanctioned divorce: “I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do.” A bizarre remark from her: “I don't think that's why I was chosen.”
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."
Israel brings Gaza-style demolition campaign to Hebron Israel’s sweeping punitive campaign in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron is gathering steam. Visiting the area, Benjamin Netanyahu promised to replicate the devastating operations previously carried out in the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams refugee camps, where Israeli forces displaced populations and transformed parts of camps into permanent military outposts. The Israeli PM has vowed to destroy the neighborhood the two Palestinian resistance fighters who killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint on October 23 came from. The shooting at the northern entrance to Hebron claimed the lives of two Israeli soldiers and wounded six others, with the perpetrators also killed. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for a West Bank campaign modeled on Israel’s operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

Islam is a “magnificent faith” for Italian bishops. During the presentation of 11 teaching materials for Catholic religion classes in Italian schools, Rev. Valentino Cottini, former rector of the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), praised Islam. The presentation was attended by the presiding Italian Cardinal, Matteo Zuppi. Rev. Cottini said that the school materials provide "an objective and empathetic presentation of Islam that does not shy away from difficulties, but illustrates this magnificent faith and splendid culture". The materials were developed jointly by Christian and Muslim scholars with the backing of the Italian Bishops' Conference.
"Insomma, credo sia uscita una presentazione dell'Islam oggettiva ed empatica che non rifugge dalle difficoltà, ma illustra questa magnifica fede e questa splendida cultura nei suoi nuclei fondanti e anche in alcune delle sue più attuali forme espressive."

Israel squeezes Gaza and the West Bank as elections loom Palestinians in Gaza see their suffering reduced to campaign material ahead of Israel's October 27 election, with little expectation that the vote will change their reality, The Guardian reports. Both Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right coalition and his main challenger, Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party, have centered their campaigns on destroying Hamas and responding to the trauma of October 7. Meanwhile, the devastation of Gaza — home to nearly a million displaced people facing dire sanitation, water shortages, and constant strikes — has gone almost unmentioned by either camp, and neither has outlined a clear plan for the territory's future. The current government is not waiting for the vote to reshape the West Bank. After a shooting near Hebron killed two Israeli soldiers, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to forcibly displace Palestinian residents and carry out extensive destruction, invoking the "offensive model"…Àteru

Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, Prefect of the Dicastery for interreligious dialogue, visited the BAPS Hindu temple in London on 19 October, receiving a ceremonial welcome from Hindu religious leaders. He received a flower garland and toured the temple’s "sacred" spaces. Cardinal Koovakad also participated in the traditional Indian lamp-lighting ceremony, commonly called Deep Prajwalan. The ritual is performed at Hindu religious and cultural events. The gathering concluded with meditation and prayer [to whom?]. Koovakad also spoke of establishing “standards of discernment together” through interreligious dialogue.
October 19: Cardinal Koovakad, the Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, was given a tour of the sacred spaces, housed in Europe’s first traditional Hindu stone temple, followed by a gathering in the main hall where members of the Neasden Temple community shared information and testimonies of their experiences of interreligious dialogue.
L' unica base comune che ci può essere con questi signiori e con le ideologie di natura filosofica è kulturale, è il riconoiscimento dell intera Legge Naturale che leggiamo nell universo noi e loro . Quella viene dall Alto ed è stata data anche a loro che la conosconono solo in minima parte . Noi interamente con la Legge e con lo Spirito Santo . Alcuni di loro , poi , la possono riconoscere interiormente piu di noi , ma non sappiamo chi sono e solo Dio li conosce . San Paolo andò nell Areopago e invitò tutti i pagani a obbedire all unico Dio Creatore che si manifesta nella creazione e nell ordine morale della Terra con la Legge Divina ,ma sappiamo come andò a finire .

Mein Gott, wie intellektuell, geistig und geistlich seicht, jedem, der die After-VK II-Zeitgeistler und den Synkretismus sachlich kritisiert, Traditionalismus und Jansenismus zu unterstellen und allen, die am Glauben und Tradition der Katholischen Kirche gemäß der Mahnungen Christi festhalten, die Worte Jesu, wer zum Schwert greife auch durch das Schwert umkomme, entgegenhalten.
