Leo XIV called Vladimir Putin from his hospital bed, just three days after undergoing lung cancer surgery, to request a humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine. “It was the Holy Father himself who took the initiative,” confirmed Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin. “I hope that, faced with a request from the Holy Father, President Putin will agree to put into practice what has been asked of him,” Parolin added.
Diplomazia dall’ospedale – La telefonata tra Putin e Leone XIV è stata un’iniziativa del Papa per mediare nella guerra contro l’Ucraina «È stato il Santo Padre a prendere l’iniziativa» della telefonata al presidente russo Putin, «per perorare la causa di questa città assediata, nella quale si trovano circa 2.000 civili che hanno bisogno di vie di fuga, di corridoi umanitari. Credo che il Papa abbia chiesto una tregua per consentire sia l’arrivo di aiuti umanitari, in particolare di generi alimentari, sia l’evacuazione di coloro che devono lasciare la città». È quanto ha affermato il Segretario di Stato vaticano, il cardinale Pietro Parolin, dopo la telefonata tra Leone XIV e Putin. «Spero — ha aggiunto — che, di fronte a una richiesta del Santo Padre, il presidente Putin, per così dire, accetti di mettere in pratica ciò che gli è stato chiesto».
Three Catholic dioceses in northern England have proposed merging into one amid declining numbers. Bishop Marcus Stock has submitted a report to Pope Leo XIV recommending the unification of Leeds, Middlesbrough and Hallam, which together serve approximately 496,000 Catholics in 193 parishes. Monsignor Stock, Bishop of Leeds since 2014, also serves as Apostolic Administrator of Middlesbrough and Hallam. The recommendation follows an extensive consultation involving priests, deacons, religious communities, lay Catholics, diocesan councils, trustees and Catholic schools. Nine in-person meetings were held, and an online questionnaire received 840 responses. The consultation found broad support among clergy and openness among lay Catholics to unification, provided local identities are respected. Diocesan leaders unanimously supported recommending the merger to Rome. The proposal comes amid declining participation and clergy numbers. Between 2000 and 2025, Mass attendance fell by 52%, baptisms …زیاتر

Guardian Angels - October 2 Memorial 2 October first Sunday in September (in Germany) Profile The term guardian angels refers to the belief that each person has an angel who is available to shepherd their soul through life, and help bring them to God. Belief in the reality of angels, their mission as messengers of God, and man’s interaction with them, goes back to the earliest times. Cherubim kept Adam and Eve from slipping back into Eden; angels saved Lot and helped destroy the cities of the plains; in Exodous Moses follows an angel, and at one point an angel is appointed leader of Israel. Michael is mentioned at several points, Raphael figures large in the story of Tobit, and Gabriel delivered the Annunciation of the coming of Christ. The concept of each soul having a personal guardian angel, is also an ancient one, and long accepted by the Church See that you despise not one of these little ones [children]: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see …زیاتر

Cardinal Vesco: Netanyahu Wants the Palestinian People to “Disappear” During the Consistory, Leo XIV told the cardinals, “Support me, stand with me in this battle against war,” pro-homosexual Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers told IlMessaggero.it on August 23. Questioning the “Just War” Cardinal Vesco questioned the Christian concept of a just war, arguing that “for those who are fighting, their own war is always just.” While acknowledging a right to self-defense, he asked, “But up to what point?” “In any case, war itself is not just. In the end, we no longer know where to draw the line.” Israel and its “Settlements, Settlements, Settlements” On Gaza, CardinalVesco recalled living in Jerusalem for two years and visiting Gaza several times during the Intifada: “I experienced the checkpoints and saw with my own eyes the humiliation they represented. Today it is much worse.” Even then, he said, it was difficult to believe in a two-state solution because the Israeli authorities did not …زیاتر

Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …زیاتر
Have you ever been in a grocery store this big? Posted just 8 hours ago. After 4 years of Sanctions take a look around a typical Russian supermarket in Moscow, Russia. How does a typical Russian supermarket look? What are the prices & stock really like now? If you are wondering why there are so many American products in Russia, that's because Russia buys them from other countries after buying them from us. But I see a lot of bad products being sold. Which Russia needs to look into. The Picture below he is explaining there are check out's going into the 70's!!! Did you ever see so much food? It's amazing. And Russia would be more than happy to share their wealth of food with the rest of the world as they are doing to many countries. Mostly giving it away to the poorer countries. But the West rather see their own people suffer and starve and die. Russia is always willing to do fair trading. Though they sell everything including their oil at very low prices. Not wanting to cheat anyone and …زیاتر
The West and US said there is also no oil in Russia. But Larry Johnson and The Judge along with Scott Ritter among others are actually in Russia some just left. And they say, there is no problem. In some areas it's low., but NOT out. Watched a few video's of Americans and people from other countries who actually show the gas stations and how there is no problem. Besides, Russia now has more oil they are getting from the Arctic.
