Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …Ossotina
They should also apologize for raising their carbon footprint by flying there. Pope Leo is going to have to bless another huge ice cube to offset the damage.

Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

Carlson: Epstein Files point to crimes ‘at scale’ covered up by people in power The Epstein files contain cryptic references to “pizza” and “grape soda,” says Tucker Carlson, questioning why the Justice Department has not investigated what the euphemisms meant. He also wonders why Epstein files covering 1999–2003 remain classified, pointing to strange references to 9/11 and reports of suspicious financial bets placed before the attacks. Carlson argues that the unanswered questions point to a broader pattern of powerful figures escaping accountability. “These are crimes being committed at scale ... the kind of crimes that determine the fate of nations, and those crimes are being covered up by the people in power,” he says.

A Vatican source has denied media reports that Pope Leo XIV will undergo immunotherapy. The denial follows a report published by Brazil’s GloboNews on October 23. It claimed that the Pope would receive pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The denial was reported on Sunday by the Rome-based Catholic news agency I.MEDIA and the Italian news agency Adnkronos, both citing unnamed Vatican sources. #newsFtvwkchrit
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
"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.

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.

“typical Israeli young voter” 'Kick out the Arabs… or we'll kill them' - young voter outside Ben-Gvir rally A young Israeli woman outside a rally for Itamar Ben-Gvir gave a remarkably blunt description of what she wants for Gaza: “We should take it because God commanded us to take it.” Asked where Palestinians should go, she replied: “Honestly to any other Arab country. I don't really care except Jordan and Lebanon and Syria - those are ours. Or we'll kill them.” Max Blumenthal shared the exchange, calling her a “typical Israeli young voter” and pointing to Ben-Gvir’s growing appeal among young voters. That trend is real: Reuters reported that Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party is gaining support among younger and first-time voters ahead of Tuesday’s election. geopolitics_prime
