The traditional shoemaker to the Popes presented Leo XIV with two pairs of white shoes on August 29, writes RomeReports.com. However, Leo XIV did not accept them, insisting that he only wanted black shoes. The shoemaker returned to work and recently delivered a new pair in black. Adriano Stefanelli, an Italian craftsman, has made the papal shoes from John Paul II to today’s Pope Leo XIV. It all began with John Paul II after he fell ill briefly during a Via Crucis. Stefanelli decided that the best way he could help was to make him a pair of shoes. He says his quality never changes, even for popes: only the finest materials are used. It is the small details that vary. John Paul II wanted rubber half-soles, Benedict XVI preferred all leather, and Francis wore embroidered slippers with a symbolic design. For Leo XIV, Stefanelli followed Benedict's model — in black. #newsBqncvgecak
He really needs some Merican Shoes by Red Wings, Slip resistant, steel toes to kick the rumps of the Maricons. With white shoes, the toes would discolor with that move.
01/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The job of journalists is to inform—not to stir up fears. But what should we do when we are dealing with information that in itself triggers fears? It is not a good idea to ignore such news. That turns journalism into a one-sided game with a forced happy ending. Ken Jebsen, a German independent journalist from an Iranian family, conducted an interview with artificial intelligence (AI) last August and, with his questions, elicited statements that its developers themselves would never have expected, even in their worst nightmares. The term “psychological sabotage” appeared in the following, extremely interesting film. A good article describing this “discussion” between a human and a computer program called KI Chat- “KAA I” appeared yesterday on the fassadenkratzer.de platform: An AI reveals itself: a hidden control instrument of humanity and society.Source.

Just another deception from trump and his gang. Deceptions no matter how small or great are still deceptions. One after the other with trump, yet people are still in a deep sleep.
The dirty rats running the insane asylum in the positions of today's government are known to either lie and deceive us, or else to deceive and lie to us. BELIEVE NOTHING they are informing us about until you have the evidence and the proof.
U.S. President Donald Trump has invited dozens of world leaders to join his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts. Diplomats know it would undermine the role of the United Nations and established multilateral diplomacy. The initaitve was started to “help manage” the Gaza ceasefire and reconstruction Trump would serve as chairman — effectively for life. Holy See Reviewing Next Steps Cardinal Pietro Parolin replied: “President Trump is asking various countries to participate. I seem to have read in the newspapers this morning that Italy, too, is considering whether to join or not. We have also received the invitation to the Board of Peace for Gaza. The Pope has received it and we are assessing what to do. We are looking into the matter, and I believe it is an issue that requires some time to be properly considered before giving a response.” Countries that have publicly accepted the invitation Egypt — official acceptance reported.

Putin's response, after those that just said no, was best so far. Sure, just use the $1billion from Russia's frozen assets as the enrollment fee and they will consider.
Novena - Oremus Like those in Gaza who kept saying Mass. And when they were praying while bombs were going off near their Church. That's how Priests should act. Not throwing Our Lord down the way this Priest just did to comfort anyone at all. The Mass must continue no matter what. Someone should have stopped the old man before he even got half way to the Priest.

A Visit to Annecy in Honor of St. Francis de Sales & St. Jeanne de Chantal. In 2010 visited Annecy, where the mortal remains of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jeanne de Chantal are found, at the Basilica of the Visitation. We also visited the very interesting Museum nearby, which has on display many of their relics.

The share of adults identifying as Catholic has declined sharply across much of Latin America over the past decade. The number of people with no religious affiliation has risen, according to a January 21 Pew Research Center report. This marks a shift in a region where more than 90% of people were Catholic around 1900. The report, Catholicism Has Declined in Latin America Over the Past Decade is based on surveys of more than 6,200 adults in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru conducted in spring 2024. Comparing the results with a similar 2013–14 survey, Pew found that the Catholic share fell by at least 9 percentage points in all six countries. Today, Catholics make up 46% of adults in Brazil and Chile, 58% in Argentina, 60% in Colombia, and 67% in both Mexico and Peru. A decade ago, all six countries had Catholic majorities of roughly six-in-ten or more adults.

It's no wonder -- the amazon synod was proof of the apostasy going on in the Church there - led by the likes of Bergoglio and Prevost -- Come, Lord Jesus! Cleanse your Church of these apostates steeling the Catholic Faith from the souls of so many of the baptized!!!!!! - and also dissuading so many from even being baptized!!!
Can’t do it without the priests. Any priest with a plastic tab “collar”: RUN. Where are the street preachers? The bishops confronting the government? Revolution for God is the only good one, and it is a counterrevolution.
There is plenty of evidence to show that Bishops and Cardinals who attended Vatican Council II were concerned from the start about its timing, its content and the serious omissions found in its documents. The Council Fathers on Vatican II
The program is already posted and available. Bishop Pierre Roy discusses the possibility of holding an imperfect general council to elect a Traditional pope. It occurs that Bishop Roy is a humble servant in presenting his view that he shared regarding that like-minded traditional clergy would discuss together the present state of the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which JESUS CHRIST instituted to continue until the end of time as His INFALLIBLE PERFECT CHURCH which has already determined the means to establish what needs to be implemented as also Father Paul Kramer has greatly presented and provided well in his books and a great deal more. Our DIVINE ALMIGHTY HOLY TRINITY is awaiting a valid pope to CONSECRATE Russia IN FULL OBEDIENCE as JESUS CHRIST instituted that there is ONLY ONE TRUE CHURCH of DIVINE FAITH and the counterfeit church headed by ANTIPOPES Bergoglio and Prevost and their accomplices are usurpers who are attempting to create in the words of Bergoglio an “…Hafa
Prayas though everything depended onGOD. Work as though everything depended on you. This is great advice, which I think came from Saint Augustine. This should motivate against sloth for those clergy who KNOW THAT ANTIPOPE Prevost is attempting to be the successor of ANTIPOPE bergoglio to carry out the destruction of the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which JESUS CHRIST instituted.
