The First Lady of Equatorial Guinea, Constancia Mangue, appeared in outfits featuring images of Pope Leo XIV during his visit.

House bill vs religious rites sa gov't offices haharangin. House bill vs religious rites sa gov't offices haharangin Ni Butch Quejada (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated June 20, 2012 MANILA, Philippines - Haharangin ni Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez ang ‘ban God’ bill na inihain kamakailan sa Kamara ng kapwa niya kongresista na naglalayon ipagbawal ang pagdaraos ng religious ceremonies at paglalagay ng religious symbol sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno. Sinabi ni Golez na paglabag umano sa Konstitusyon ang panukala ni Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino. Sinabi ni Golez, maging sa sesyon ng Kongreso ay nagsisimula sa pagdarasal matapos ang pagpapatugtog ng Lupang Hinirang at gayundin aniya sa mga ahensiya ng gobyerno. Sa House bill 6330 ni Palatino, ipagbabawal na ang paglalagay ng krus, santo at maging bibliya sa alinmang ahensya ng gobyerno. Sinabi ni Palatino na wala dapat binibigyan ng pabor na relihiyon ang gobyerno kaya dapat ipagbawal ang pagdaraos ng religious ceremonies at paglalagay ng religious …Higit pa
Human Rights Watch (HRW) issued a report on April 15 stating that the 2018 agreement between China and the Vatican has helped the Chinese government to increase pressure on underground Catholics. It has called on Pope Leo XIV to review or repeal the agreement and to press China to end the persecution. One priest cited by HRW was denied access to banking, phone services, and passports. Furthermore, there is a de facto ban on religious practice for persons under 18.
(PerMariam) — The watchdog agency Human Rights Watch (HRW) has warned that the controversial 2018 deal between China and the Vatican has “helped the Chinese government to pressure underground Catholic communities to join the official church.” According to a detailed new report issued by HRW, the Chinese state is only increasing its persecution of underground Catholics, and is doing so aided by the framework of the 2018 deal between Beijing and the Holy See regarding the appointment of bishops. “The 2018 Holy See-China agreement on bishops has helped the Chinese government to pressure underground Catholic communities to join the official church,” HRW wrote on April 15. Image produced via AI. Having been signed in 2018 on a provisional basis, the secretive Sino-Vatican deal’s specific details remain undisclosed: a peculiar air of mystery surrounds them. It has since been renewed a number of times, most recently in 2024 for a period of four years. The agreement is believed to recognize …

On 22 April, ElWanderer.com wrote that one of the most painful legacies of Francis’s pontificate was the bishops he left the Church. In Argentina, Francis appointed 67 bishops, choosing them from among priests who lacked the most basic and essential qualities. On at least three occasions, Francis appointed bishops in Argentina who accepted the nomination but then renounced their consecration weeks later. The rumoured reason was 'skeletons in the closet'. The same happened with the failed Indonesian bishop, Pascalis Syukur: he was chosen as a cardinal by Bergoglio in 2024, gladly accepted the designation, but resigned a few days later. It later emerged that he had been in a romantic relationship with a woman with whom he had two children. It seems likely that Francis appointed bishops from among priests he found personally agreeable or with whom he had some affinity. ElWanderer gives another example. All of the Jesuits who formed the Bergoglian group in the 1980s are now bishops. During …Higit pa
I suspect the followers of their new religion, and Conciliarism most certainly Is a new religion, would absolutely disagree. Virtually all post-Vatican II appointees are faithfully following the false and heretical teachings of the Second Vatican Council.

Two Israeli soldiers were sentenced to 30 days in military jail for smashing a statue of the crucified Christ in Lebanon. The Israeli army said one soldier used a sledgehammer while the other filmed; both were removed from combat duty. Six other soldiers were present and did not intervene or report the incident. According to 'The Guardian', such punishment is rare. In 2025, about 88% of alleged misconduct cases involving Israeli forces were closed or unresolved.
The Israeli military has sentenced two soldiers to 30 DAYS in jail for DESTROYING a statue in Jesus, per AP One of them was seen taking a SLEDGEHAMMER to the head of Jesus
Don’t believe they were really punished for this….they’re not punished for snipering women and children or abusing detainees so why do they assume that gesture of censure will be believed…not likely!
Ang Obispong iniluklok ng Innsbruck, Austria, na si Padre Hermann Glettler, 52, ay nanawagan para sa mga babaeng diyakono at sinabi na ang mga babaeng pari ay "hindi naman ganoon ka-impraktikal". Sa pagsasalita sa APA sinabi pa niya na siya ay "sobrang" pabor na tumanggap ng Komunyon ang mga nangangalunya at sinabi na ito ay nasa Ebanghelyo, bagaman hindi ito totoo. Si Glettler ay iniluklok noong Setyembre 27 at nabibilang sa karismatikong Alemang kilusan na Emmanuel. Naging isa siya sa ulo ng balita sa kanyang dating parokya na St. Andrä sa Graz ng dinumihan niya ang gilid ng pasilyo ng kulay pula at tinawag itong "sining". picture: St. Andrä, Graz, Austria, #newsPqzljwfitg
The Vatican is pressing forward with the plan to reshape the Church into a more participatory, consultative body with shared decision-making across multiple levels, according to a report by katholisch.de on April 21. On April 17, the General Secretariat of the Synod convened the XVI Ordinary Council in an online session chaired by Cardinal Mario Grech. The meeting opened with a prayer led by Sister Nathalie Becquart. Council members reviewed progress on implementing the final document of the Synod on Synodality and examined ongoing work by study groups. A key next step will be a preparatory meeting at the Vatican from June 23–25, aimed at translating the Synod’s 2024 conclusions into concrete action at the continental level. This implementation phase is scheduled to run through spring 2028. Participants in June will include leaders of major continental episcopal bodies (CELAM, CCEE, and SECAM) alongside representatives of Eastern Catholic patriarchates and delegations from the bishops …Higit pa
Today, Leo XIV visited a notorious prison in Bata, Equatorial Guinea as part of his Africa tour. Inmates gathered in the courtyard, singing, dancing, and cheering, despite being soaked due to heavy rain. Leo XIV prayed with them and gave an Apostolic Blessing. Prisoners reportedly shouted things like “Freedom!” and “Libertad!” during the visit.
Una pioggia torrenziale cade durante la visita del Papa nella prigione di Bata I detenuti rimangono al loro posto e continuano a ballare e cantare. Si uniscono anche alcuni operatori del carcere Ballano e cantano sotto il diluvio. E gridano “Libertad” Scena impressionante
In Malabo, Pope Leo XIV signed the guest book after meeting with civil authorities and diplomats, briefly looking to prepared notes as he wrote. The moment drew lighthearted attention on social media, where some users joked he seemed like “the kind of person who would never cheat on an exam.”
Noong ika-4 ng Agosto, ang hindi kilalang Britanong manunulat ng libro na si Stephen Walford ay nag-post sa social media ng mga larawan ng 45 minutong pribadong pakikinig na ipinagkaloob ni Papa Francis para sa kanya at sa kanyang pamilya. Napakahirap, kahit para sa mga kardinal na tanggapin ni Francis. Inilathala ni Walford noong ika-27 ng Agosto ang isang bukas na liham sa La Stampa laban sa mga Dubia Cardinal na inakusahan niya ng "malademonyong pang-aabuso" kay Francis at sa paglikha ng "isang hindi matiis na sitwasyon". Ayon sa kanya hindi lumikha ng kalituhan ang Amoris Laetitia at ang mga Dubia Cardinal ay nagpakita ng "lubos na pagtanggi at pagsalungat sa lehitimong Papa at sa kanyang magisterial na mga turo." Sinabi niya na sa "totoong mundo" ang "lumang paraan ng pagkumberte ay wala ng epekto." Tinawag ni Walford si Francis na "Papa ng tunay na Kristiyanismo". Gayunman ang klase ng "tunay" ay ginamit na ng mga Protestante - na nagkaroon ng nakapipinsalang resulta. #newsGhouryeabk
[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; Siena, Republic of Siena/Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] ‘How virtues are accomplished by means of our neighbour and how it is that virtues differ to such an extent in creatures.’ " I have told thee how all sins are accomplished by means of thy neighbour, through the principles which I exposed to thee, that is, because men are deprived of the affection of love, which gives light to every virtue. In the same way self-love, which destroys charity and affection towards the neighbour, is the principle and foundation of every evil. All scandals, hatred, cruelty, and every sort of trouble proceed from this perverse root of self-love, which has poisoned the entire world, and weakened the mystical body of the Holy Church, and the universal body of the believers in the Christian religion ; and, therefore, I said to thee, that it was in the neighbour, that is to say in the …Higit pa
Why God Permits Trials In Your Life The Gospel reading assures us that Jesus will not reject anyone who comes to Him, offering consolation and hope despite our unworthiness. However, we must truly believe in Him and allow Him to be Lord of our lives, recognizing that God allows all things for our good and growth in virtue. By trusting in God’s providence and seeking His will, we can find peace and praise Him even in difficult circumstances. Fr.
