Leo XIV appoints prelate to major Archdicoese in Slovakia. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Marek Forgáč, 52, as Archbishop of Košice, Slowakia. He has been Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Košice since 2016. Košice has nearly 500 priests and 700k Catholics. A psychologist with a doctorate in social psychology, Archbishop Forgáč considers psychology to be a source of truth. In a 2024 interview, he recalled meeting a homosexual man whom several priests had refused to receive. Deeply moved by his “suffering”, Forgáč listened to the homosexual and gave him a blessing. When asked about blessings for homosexuals, the bishop emphasised compassion and the importance of pro-homosexual psychology: “Psychology helps us greatly, not only in our concrete approach to a person, but also in understanding the truth.” After admitting that there “are universal norms” he added a “but” to say that “we need to see the concrete person standing before us.” “Sometimes that person's story may …More
Pharisees and Sadducees appear in the Bible only in the period between the Old and New Testaments. Their only common ground was opposition to Jesus and each other.
The Spanish surgeon behind the technique used in the Pope's lung operation says he may not need further cancer treatment. Spanish thoracic surgeon Diego González Rivas, whose team developed the minimally invasive technique used to operate on Pope Leo XIV, says the Pontiff is recovering well. González Rivas developed the single-incision uniportal VATS technique in 2010 and trained surgeons at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Pope's operation was performed Tuesday by a team led by Professor Stefano Margaritora, head of thoracic surgery at Gemelli. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung after detecting an early-stage adenocarcinoma. González Rivas contacted the medical team Wednesday morning and learned that the Pope was already in a regular hospital ward and pain-free. Speaking to Spanish radio station COPE, he described the prognosis as very good, saying early surgery offers a high chance of cure. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy will probably not be needed, depending on pathology …More

Incredible Teresa October 15th, Memorial of Saint Teresa of Avila. Dear brothers and sisters in a West that has once again become "madly pagan" (as Mother Liliana del Paradiso put it), where cults devoted to false idols flourish and spread idols of the "self" placed above everything and everyone, of the body *alone*, of emotions *alone*, and of the demand for "everything right now" in a time reduced to the "here and now" Saint Teresa of Avila can help us rediscover the "hidden treasures" lying beyond the walls erected by these idols. She an exceptional woman, as Saint Paul VI described her, a mystic and a teacher of life and prayer leads us to the great Beauty that is God, the splendor of the immortal soul, the incredible "rational power" of the mind, and the luminous, eternal hope that awaits us in the future.

Cardinal Roche: a considerable gap between his claims and the documented facts. Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, gave AdVaticanum.com an interview on October 13 containing factual errors, questionable assertions and what critics might describe as gaslighting. The world’s bishops wanted restrictions on the Latin Mass Cardinal Roche has “no doubt” that the world's bishops wanted to change Summorum Pontificum and restrict the Traditional Latin Mass, adding that “the bishops were very concerned about the situation.” Reality check: The majority of bishops responding to the Vatican's 2020 questionnaire stated that changing Summorum Pontificum would cause more harm than good. Benedict XVI issued ‘Summorum Pontificum’ for the FSSPX Cardinal Roche claims that Summorum Pontificum was created to accommodate the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). Reality check: Benedict XVI was asked by Peter Seewald in 2016 about precisely this interpretation. His reply …More

Former European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni suggested in a television interview that it would be extremely difficult for a future Italian government to depart from the EU's position on military support for Ukraine.
