Was a Michelangelo Sculpture Discovered in Rome? A study announced on March 4 suggests a marble bust of Christ the Savior in Rome’s Basilica of Sant’Agnese fuori le Mura may be by Michelangelo. Researcher Valentina Salerno proposed the attribution after years of archival research, noting stylistic similarities and links to circles close to the artist in his final years
Il Cristo di Sant’Agnese attribuito a Michelangelo Presentata la nuova ricostruzione storica sul busto conservato sulla Nomentana Èdi Michelangelo Buonarroti il busto scultoreo del Cristo Salvatore conservato da secoli nella Basilica di Sant’Agnese fuori le mura, lungo la via Nomentana a Roma. L’opera, finora considerata anonima, è stata oggetto di una nuova attribuzione resa pubblica nel corso di una conferenza stampa nella stessa basilica. La riattribuzione è stata presentata dalla ricercatrice Valentina Salerno insieme all’Ordine dei Canonici Regolari Lateranensi, che regge il complesso monumentale. Alla base della nuova ricostruzione vi è un’approfondita indagine documentale sull’eredità di Michelangelo, fondata su testamenti, carteggi, diari, libri storici e di viaggio, relazioni, inventari notarili e atti confraternali dal 1564 fino ai giorni nostri. Secondo quanto emerso dagli studi, l’insieme delle fonti consentirebbe di ricondurre il busto del Cristo Salvatore alla mano …Bontsi
Iranian missiles are hitting several sites in the Gulf Arab states because the US has prioritized Israel's defenses, Russian-American military analyst Stanislav Krapivnik told The Sanchez Effect. Iranian Missiles Hammer Gulf Arab States as US Prioritizes Israel Full video here with Stanislav Krapivnik. Former General (I believe) in The US Army. Did Trump’s Plan Fail? Iran Strikes Across the Region - Krapivnik & Sanchez The US air defenses are being expended at a high rate, resulting in several Iranian missiles hitting sites across the Persian Gulf and Israel. With the U.S. needing to cover such a large defensive zone, can the U.S. protect all of these countries at once? On the Sanchez Effect, Russian-American military analyst Stanislav Krapivnik delves into the US' capabilities and the expansion of the war to 13 nations.
Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal. "Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?" Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening. His questions: * Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure? * Did you calculate collateral damage before firing? * You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose * Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf state's. Now we’re getting attacked. Where did that money go? * You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela * 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized) * War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total * Your approval …Bontsi
In the mean time, bibi's wife and kid is hiding out in Florida. Which makes them a target. I live hours from them. So that makes me a target as well. And I didn't vote for the beast. NOR did I care for bibi and his wars. Thank you trump and bibi. The two beasts with forked tongues. Israel is getting a good beaten. Their iron dome and other shields are overwhelmed and not working. I have a few video's to post. One was just posted a few minutes ago on YT. I will post that one first later today. Everyone hiding and leaving the people to die. But they will get theirs as well soon enough. These evil madmen will destroy not only land and people, but the economy is being destroyed as well for the rest of us. Everything will get a lot worse now. All because trump led a filthy life along with his filthy wife. And constantly lying to the people duping them into a false security that we are the biggest, greatest, strongest and best Military. In his dreams and only in his dreams and world of lies …Bontsi

Pray for Iran. Pray for the defeat of the Epstein forces. We can now see that the accusations of pedophilia against Holy Mother Church in the era of JPII (actual incidence of a fraction of 1%) were projections of what THOSE forces were actually doing. Wounding Holy Mother Church with these exaggerations led to the encouragement of homosexuals in the Church. Pray for Iran. Pray for the axis of resistance. Pray for the defeat of the Epstein forces.

Archbishop Juan Antonio Aznárez Cobo, 65, of the Military Ordinariate of Spain, refused permission for the funeral rites of Antonio Tejero Molina to be held at the Armed Forces Cathedral in Madrid. No Canonical Explanation Monsignor Aznárez Cobo personally informed Tejero’s family that the funeral scheduled for 25 March would not be permitted in the cathedral. In a statement issued through their lawyer, the family expressed "deep sorrow and perplexity," noting that no canonical explanation had been provided for the decision. They emphasised that Catholic funerals are not judgments on a person’s life, but rather prayers for the soul of the deceased and a source of consolation for those who mourn. The Figure of Antonio Tejero As a lieutenant colonel, Tejero led the armed seizure of the Spanish parliament during the 1981 Spanish coup attempt. He supported the Francoist system. However, the coup collapsed following a televised address by King Juan Carlos I, after which Tejero was convicted …Bontsi
Every Sunday, at exactly 1:45 p.m., Mrs. Rosa, seventy-six years old, puts on her favorite navy blue dress. She hasn’t gone anywhere on weekends for years. But she carefully irons the fabric, pins back her gray hair with the same clip she used when her husband Antonio was still alive, and opens the window wide “to let in some fresh air.” She lives on the fourth floor of an old neighborhood building. The elevator hardly ever works, and the stairs seem endless. The hallway smells of dampness and Sunday cooking. Since Antonio died, the apartment has become too big, too quiet, too full of memories. Every Sunday she cooks. Just a little. A light broth, a simple main dish, and a small piece of sponge cake, “because he liked it that way.” And she always sets two plates on the table. The neighbor across the hall once asked her: — Mrs. Rosa, why do you set two plates if you live alone? Rosa smiles softly: — It’s a habit. At exactly two o’clock, she sits down at the table. She looks at the …Bontsi
Jessica Tarlov on the Iran War: "Rubio admitted that Israel decided to do this, and we went along for the ride... Israel was going to go in and Iran was going to attack us because of what our ally was doing. The decisions being made are being orchestrated by Netanyahu."
Leo XIV has appointed Swiss Guard Lieutenant Anton Kappler as his new personal valet, according to Eva Fernández on X. Born on 16 August 1979 in Wattwil, St. Gallen, Kappler has served in the Pontifical Swiss Guard since 2001. Often described as the Pope’s “butler,” the papal valet is responsible for the pontiff’s private daily routine. The role has occasionally drawn controversy, most notably in the 2012 Vatileaks scandal.
Eva Fernández: D'ora in poi vedremo questa Guardia Svizzera molto vicina al Papa: si tratta del tenente Anton Kappler, che Leone XIV ha scelto come suo “valletto”, una figura discreta ma essenziale nella vita quotidiana. Di solito sarà vicino al pontefice (in abiti civili).

I was standing a few feet away from him once in from of Westminster cathedral, and rapidly realized who he was. He has always been intrigued by my home country, England, it's Catholic history..
myunkie - If pro-abortion and pro-LGBT Israel together with Donald Trump, who has betrayed conservative values, stop their aggression against pro-life and pro-family conservative Iran, then similar defensive counterattacks by Iran against ultra-liberal Israel will not really happen again.
Our beautiful and Holy Saints. Always there to remind us, help and guide us. I am forever grateful to Our Lord for them. And to our Holy Saints who loved Our Lord so much.

A viral video captures the moment an Iranian ballistic missile outmaneuvers multiple interceptors over central Israel, leading to a tragic impact in Beit Shemesh. This Iranian ballistic missile strike on March 1, 2026, marks the deadliest event in the current conflict, claiming nine lives. We analyze the "saturation tactics" used by the IRGC to overwhelm the Arrow-3 and David's Sling systems. Experts from the CSIS Missile Defense Project note that as Iranian ballistic missile technology evolves with high-speed agility, the cost-to-kill ratio for defenders is becoming unsustainable. In this video you will see: 1. Analysis of the "Fattah" maneuverable re-entry vehicle (MaRV) and its terminal agility. 2. Aftermath of the direct hit on the Beit Shemesh synagogue and shelter. 3. Nighttime footage of the "cat-and-mouse" game between the missile and 10+ interceptors. 4. Why saturation warfare is dropping interception rates below 90% in high-volume waves. Expert Insight: Firing 20 interceptors …Bontsi
