Reinaldo Nann - a German-born Peruvian bishop (2017-2024) who civilly married a Peruvian woman in 2025 without being laicised - tried to defend Leo XIV from accusations of worshipping the Andean goddess Pachamama in 1995. On 22 March, Nann wrote on ReligionDigital.org that Leo XIV "is not an idolater, nor did he worship Pachamama". However, Nann admits that "the young missionary Robert Prevost did indeed participate in this 1995 ecology and theology congress, and within the context of a Mother Earth ceremony, he knelt". Nevertheless, Nann "cannot see any worship of Pachamama as a goddess". "We see an interreligious act where a representative of Andean culture makes an offering to the Earth — a gift and a dialogue with the Earth.' Other people, including Augustinian priests, attended this ceremony, which forms part of Andean culture. Respecting the Earth as a 'being with a soul' does not mean that it is not a creature of God. Pachamama is the earth, or rather the soul of the earth. …Àteru

An old legend from an Arabic infancy gospel says that when the Holy Family were running to Egypt, they were set upon by a band of thieves, including Dismas and Gestas. One of the highwaymen realized there was something different, something special about them, and ordered his fellow bandits to leave them alone; this thief was the young Dismas.

St Dismas, March 25th. ADPaul When the Jesuit, Fr Charles Dismas Clark died on 15 August 1963, the New York Times ran a long obituary with a two column headline: “Rev. C. Dismas Clark, 62, Dies; A Pastor of 3,500 Ex-Convicts.” It was a day on which tough men cried. According to Fr. Clark, the only person to whom Christ promised paradise is St.Dismas, the good thief. The Penitent Thief, also known as the Good Thief, Grateful Thief or the Thief on the Cross, is one of two unnamed thieves in Luke's account of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke describes him asking Jesus to "remember him" when Jesus arrives at his kingdom. The other, as the impenitent thief, challenges Jesus to save himself to prove that he is the Messiah. He is officially venerated in the Catholic Church. The Roman Martyrology places his commemoration on 25 March, together with the Feast of the Annunciation, because of the ancient Christian tradition that Christ (and the penitent thief) were …Àteru

Χαῖρε Kεχαριτωμένη HAIL FULL OF GRACE THE LORD IS WITH YOU! Kecharitomene– A name that Full of Grace means When the archangel Gabriel came down from heaven and the Virgin Maria greeted with these words: “Χαīρε, Kεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.” (Lucas 1.28) that meant: “Hail Full of Grace, the Lord is with you.“ There is not just one polite formula used, but the deepest and most personal name werd revealed: Kεχαριτωμένη.This Greek word Kecharitomene, what translates as Full of Grace or "perfect in grace", is not just any description, but Her own identity– a unique name which belongs only to the chosen one by God, and only to Hair from all creatures. Kecharitomene is not an adjective noun. Kecharitomene is an identity, Maria’s eternal name!
Al Mayadeen English @MayadeenEnglish Fars News Agency reported that the United States and “Israel” targeted a gas management building and a pressure reduction station on Kaveh Street in Isfahan, causing damage to parts of the facilities as well as nearby residential buildings. At the same time, reports indicated that the gas pipeline connected to the Khorramshahr power plant was also targeted. This comes after US President Donald Trump claimed that "any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure" would be postponed for a five-day period.
Today, the Synod study group of African bishops (SECAM) published its final document on polygamy (below). The text firmly reiterates the Church’s teaching that marriage is monogamous by nature - one man and one woman. This is not a cultural construct, but is rooted in creation (Genesis), Christ’s teachings (Matthew 19) and the sacramental nature of marriage itself. Summary of the document: Polygamy is incompatible with sacramental marriage, contradicts the equal dignity of men and women, and cannot represent the unity between Christ and the Church. Clear Also At The Practical Level Furthermore, the document is clear that polygamists are not admitted to the sacraments. No one may be baptised while remaining in a polygamous union. There is no allowance for baptism based on promises of future change — conversion must be genuine and take place beforehand. In certain cases, the first wife may be baptised, especially if she is not responsible for the polygamy. Polygamous unions are not …Àteru

Yes, and the hangover of Britain’s Empire has been folded into the US – particularly its military operations, says independent journalist Abby Martin. She has spent decades covering American wars of aggression, and has witnessed first hand how the corporate media 'manufactures consent' for these wars. The US-Israel assault on Iran is no different, she says. Speaking to Declassified, she discusses the dismal corporate media coverage in the UK and US, how no lessons have been learnt from the Gaza genocide, and why Keir Starmer can't stand up to Donald Trump over Iran.

Joe Kent, former Director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, resigned on Tuesday in protest of the U.S. war in Iran. He described it as unjustified and lacking a clear threat. At the Catholic Prayer for America event, he said Americans have been misled about the war’s necessity. He also urged young Americans to make their voices heard in upcoming elections, saying they do not want this war either. A good Catholic who knows this war is unjust and a lie. And who is brave enough and honest enough to call trump out on an unjust war against innocent people who didn't pose a threat to anyone. GOD Bless him and all Catholics who are against this evilness going on in Iran against innocent people. And around the world. 'We were misled into war': Joe Kent speaks out

Book of Isaiah 7,10-14.8,10b. The LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying: Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky! But Ahaz answered, "I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!" Then he said: Listen, O house of David! Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God? Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel. which means “God is with us!” Psalms 40(39),7-8a.8b-9.10.11.

Mazza, I saw this and couldn't help but laugh over it. I guess I'm not the only one. TRUMP'S FORKED TONGUE I can't imagine anyone who would dare call themselves a Catholic support such a beast who lies constantly, full of pride and brags how he knows everything. Then he opens his mouth and most of us get instantly sick. I guess they like to settle for bones. But maybe they just need a reminder? Not that It would help them. But just in case?
Pathetic that there is anyone left with his base. Those are the ones who approve of hatred, lies and they too are full of pride. I don't go by these polls. But I do enjoy the personal ones that normal people post. They tell a lot. Like the one I posted of who is the most dangerous person. And I most certainly won't use ai or chat to find out.
