“Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.”
Cardinal Burke denies the pre-conclave dinners. Cardinal Raymond Burke had denied hosting the dinners at his Roman apartment that allegedly helped secure Leo XIV’s election, writes Phil Lawler on CatholicCulture.org on October 29. The sensational story of the dinner parties at Cardinal Burke’s Rome apartment was published by the homosexual journalist Francesco Capozza on IlTempo.it in August. It is circulating again because RorateCaeli.blogspot.com translated the article on October 25. Capozza does not identify a single source, relying instead on anonymous accounts attributed to participants and an unnamed cardinal. The article suggests that two dinners at Cardinal Burke’s apartment helped secure 20–25 votes for Cardinal Prevost. Lawler does not cite a source for the denial either. Multiple sources had said that Cardinal Raymond Burke denied hosting the meetings, “Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.” …More
Leo XIV met Costa Rica’s president, gloriously veiled - or, as some might say, "divisively" so. Pope Leo XIV received Costa Rica’s Catholic President Laura Fernández Delgado in an audience on October 29. She presented Pope Leo XIV with a replica of Our Lady of the Angels, Costa Rica’s patroness. Two days earlier, on October 27, Cardinal Roche’s dicastery had warned that women wearing veils at Mass risk creating division and confusion within the Church. Costa Rica's right-wing president began her presidency with a public profession of faith. On May 9, 2026, one day after taking office, she attended Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago. #newsHlivqetqqc

Looks like an outing from the Senior Center. Let's play EM for the day. I bet there are only a handful of people in the pews. These are the same people who wear masks while driving.
Historic first: Leo XIV requests ballot for U.S. midterm elections. Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot for the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, becoming the first pontiff to vote in an American election. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, election officials in Will County, Illinois, confirmed that the American-born pope requested his ballot on October 3. Born Robert Prevost in Chicago, Leo XIV retains his American citizenship and voting rights despite becoming the sovereign of Vatican City. As of October 29, officials had not received his completed ballot, meaning it remains unclear whether he will actually cast a vote. Recent popes have maintained the Holy See's diplomatic neutrality. #newsPcejtcrzug

Left-wing talk host Jimmy Kimmel was briefly suspended for falsely insinuating Kirk’s killer was a member of President Donald Trump’s MAGA base, despite Kirk’s strong support of Trump. Falsely accusing? Trump yelled at him not long before Kirk was shot. He didn't care for Kirk trying to warn him about the Jews. Just like he didn't care for Carrie Prejean when she spoke about Catholic teachings on the Jews. Still today, no calls, emails or returned texts. Imagine that. A Catholic who was sucked into thinking he was a hero of any kind. There is so much hate in this world. I pray for the end of all evil. I have been thinking of also doing it during the day besides the three Our Father's at midnight. I hope everyone is doing the same thing. I have asked and begged many times to pray for all evil to be destroyed. Just like The Blessed Mother TOLD us we should be doing. In the Sign of The Cross. Just like her Son. Three Our Fathers at midnight!
This is what the students are now taught. They now hate the very system that allows them to be who they are. So, Pamper Baby is proud to celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk, a Christian who worked to tell the truth, tried to get students to think and care for their country and democracy. How morally sick.

Müller: SSPX episcopal consecrations cross a doctrinal “red line” He says unauthorized episcopal consecrations by the Society of St. Pius X cross a red line not merely in Church discipline but also in doctrine. He characterizes consecrating bishops against the pope as schismatic and insists that the SSPX must recognize the authority of the real, reigning pope, Leo XIV. Interviewer: Jan C. Bentz, 21.

Why Pope Leo XIV Wants Every Catholic to Vote Pope Leo XIV is urging Catholics to vote, calling political indifference a cancer of democracy. The publication Letters from Leo has released a voter guide and is asking Catholics to pledge participation in the upcoming election. The effort draws on Catholic social teaching and the example of Father Theodore Hesburgh, who historically linked faith with civic engagement. The core message: faithful Catholics cannot remain passive spectators in democratic processes. The Daily Pope
