Adult catechumen admission ceremony as event On 22 February 2026, an admission ceremony for adult baptismal candidates took place in the Hildesheim seminary church.

God gave Satan the time (75 to 100years) and the power to destroy His Church. God would raise the smallest victim soul He could find to engage in the battle, by restoring the very gift that Adam had intentionally, with his own will withdrew from, the Divine Will. In less than 5 years what Adam lost would be returned. The Gift of the Divine Will was given to Luisa Piccarreta by Jesus on September 8, 1889, on the Feast of the Nativity of Mary. At 24 and a half years old, and after years of intense suffering, Luisa received this gift to allow God to live and work within her. Pope Leo XIlI granted permission for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be offered in Luisa Piccarreta's bedroom on March 8, 1898 Official Document: The permission was granted via a papal rescript. Confirmation: This privilege was later confirmed by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 1884, Luisa Piccarreta was undergoing a significant turning point in her spiritual life following a vision of Jesus carrying the Cross.

On April 27, Bishop Emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on PillarsOfFaith.net regarding the scandalous reception of Mrs. Sarah Mullally at the Vatican. The woman bears the title and attire of the Anglican “Archbishop” of Canterbury. Monsignor Strickland managed not to mention Pope Leo XIV, even though he had received the lady as an equal “bishop.” Rather, Bishop Strickland merely reaffirmed the Catholic teaching that the priesthood is divinely instituted and that the Church has no authority to ordain women. He argued that public gestures that give the appearance of honoring someone without valid ordination in an office could confuse the faithful about the nature of the Catholic priesthood and ordination. In conclusion, he called on Catholics to respond with prayer, Eucharistic adoration, penance, and reparation for the Church. #newsTwjnhxknic
The Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship has acknowledged receipt of a “hierarchical recourse” filed against the apparent refusal of Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, to respond to requests concerning liturgical matters. The Vatican letter, dated February 16 and signed by Fr. Pierre Paul, confirms that the case has been assigned protocol number 369/25 and will be examined according to the applicable procedures. However, in the Vatican, such procedural formalities often lead nowhere; even the acceptance of an appeal does not guarantee any intervention or substantive action. Bishop Martin has aggressively curtailed Catholic liturgical practices in the Diocese of Charlotte. #newsAhximseszf
"Here were two pastors meeting each other": Mrs Sarah Mullally, who holds the title 'Archbishop of Canterbury', hailed her meeting with Pope Leo XIV as warm. In an interview at the Venerable English College in Rome after the meeting, she said that they had "met as pastors". And: "We both recognise that, regardless of me being a woman, this is a significant moment in that both our churches have been on a journey together to deepen our friendship, to pray together and to seek that unity to which we are called."
"Archbishop" Sarah is encouraged by Leo XIV. She got the impression she was a pastor along with him.
@JhWesten: Famed Vatican journalist Edward Pentin on Leo XIV welcoming female 'archbishop' Sarah: "the Vatican is serving to affirm her in her ecclesial ‘TRANS’ identity and error. (emphasis mine)
@JhWesten: ‘Archbishop’ Sarah Mullally was asked if she discussed women priests with Pope Leo XIV. She dodges: ‘I’m not a politician’ — then hints it came up as a ‘matter of justice.’ When Prevost promoted the sacrilegious “informal” blessing for unrepentant concubines, he revealed his Marxist synodal agenda: “Justice, Equality, freedom of religion—all of that would take priority over that particular issue.”
On 27 April, Mrs Sarah Mullally commissioned the Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome, Anthony Ball, as her representative to the Holy See. Despite the Anglicans having their own church in Rome, the ceremony took place at the Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola which belongs to the Jesuits. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle delivered a homily about an alleged "common faith and unity in Jesus Christ".
The optics of this really aren't good. Why did this need to happen in a Catholic church in Rome when there's a perfectly decent Anglican one within the walls?
In the afternoon, following the fruitless and sacrilegious meeting with the apostate Prevost, the apostate "Popess" of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, presided over a sacrilegious parody of Vespers, profaning the Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, in complicity with Luis Antonio Tagle.

“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal

Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” 2) Does any human creature made of clay (Genesis 2:7), conceived in sin, born in guilt (Psalm 50:7), that maggot, a worm (Job 25:6), who will be judged by God upon death (2 Timothy 4:1), have any justification for leading souls to the devil? a) Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 15:20; “He never commanded anyone to be wicked, nor did He give anyone permission to sin.” b) Exodus 32:21–23; Moses said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?” c) Deuteronomy 30:17-18; “But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are led astray and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish.” d) Jonah 2:9; “Those who worship vain idols forsake their own salvation.” e) 1 John 5:21; My children,…მეტი
**The Aleteia article is spot-on and a helpful guide.** Your quoted text about the **green cover** accurately describes it: it's the 1997 Latin *editio typica* (typical edition), which became the official reference text with the definitive English translation and minor refinements from the earlier 1992/1994 French-based version (often tan cover). ### Key Context on Editions by Cover Color - **Tan**: Early 1990s provisional English translation (French original). Good historically, but superseded. - **Green**: 1997 official Latin-based Second Edition. This was long considered *the* standard authoritative version. Many people (including traditional-leaning Catholics) still prefer it for its "classic" status and pre-2018 wording on certain topics. - **Blue** (and some newer hardcovers/white editions): Incorporates the 2018 change to paragraph 2267 on the death penalty (now called "inadmissible" rather than allowing for rare cases). This is the most current official text. ### Thoughts on Your …მეტი
We often fail to notice how time slowly strips away our parents' "superhero" strength. It doesn’t happen all at once. It’s a series of small moments. One day, you notice your dad is out of breath carrying a bag of groceries he used to lift without a second thought. You see your mom searching longer for her glasses, or needing to sit down more often in the middle of a conversation. Their memories become fragile, their stories start to repeat, and their once-steady steps lose their confidence. But here is what I’ve realized: their strength hasn't disappeared. It has just become invisible. Now, their strength is in the way they endure pain in silence just so we won’t worry. It’s the titanic effort they make to smile when their entire body aches. It’s the quiet art of saying, "I’m fine, honey," just to avoid feeling like a burden to us. Today, we have become their eyes and their hands. The roles have officially reversed. They were the ones who taught us how to walk, holding our tiny …მეტი
A New Worry for Republicans: Latino Catholics Offended by Trump In 2024, the president made significant inroads with Hispanics. But in a competitive Arizona congressional district, voters now express dismay at his feud with the pope. nytimes.com/…26/04/24/us/politics/trump-pope-lati…When Stuart Sepulvida arrives at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Parish in Tucson, Ariz., for Mass, which he attends most mornings, he passes a display honoring local soldiers and encouraging parishioners to pray for their safety. Hundreds of small cards record their names: Robles, Arenas, Grajeda. A portrait of Pope Leo XIV hangs across the lobby. Mr. Sepulvida, 81, is a Vietnam veteran whose patriotism and Catholicism are deeply intertwined. He voted for President Trump three times but has never felt more betrayed by an American president than when Mr. Trump denounced Pope Leo as “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” “It was very disturbing to me to hear both of them clashing like they …მეტი
