Leo XIV promotes Italian bishop who calls Ramadan “return to God” and “path toward holiness”. Today, Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giorgio Ferretti of Foggia-Bovino, Italy, additionally as bishop of Lucera-Troia. Ferretti now leads both dioceses, united in persona episcopi, under the same bishop. Such arrangements between neighbouring dioceses sometimes precede a later merger. Born in Genoa in 1967 and ordained in 2004, Ferretti belongs to the Missionary Fraternity of Sant'Egidio, associated with social outreach, ecumenism and interreligious dialogue. Francis appointed him Archbishop of Foggia-Bovino in November 2023. Supports big mosque in his city In March 2024, Ferretti wrote to Muslims that Ramadan urges an interior “return to God”. He also described Ramada as a “holy way”. His message opened by greeting “brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith, al-salam alaykum”. As bishop, Ferretti has participated every year in diocesan Caritas meals celebrating the end of Ramadan (pictured). …níos mó

Canada plans to permanently exclude people with mental illness alone from euthanasia. The expansion was due in March 2027. Justice Minister Sean Fraser cited two reasons: no medical consensus on when mental illness is incurable, and poor access to psychiatric care. However, the Liberals voted against a Conservative bill seeking the same ban. They argued its wording was too broad. Instead, they plan their own bill, combining the ban with a proposal to allow advance euthanasia requests for patients with dementia. Critics accuse the government of using the ban to push through this expansion.

Leo XIV appoints Cardinal Luis Tagle as new dean of the College of Cardinals. Today, Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, 92, as Dean of the College of Cardinals. He approved the election of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle as the new Dean of the College of Cardinals. Cardinal Tagle is Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization. Nicknamed “Chito,” the sentimal prelate is known for singing and crying in public. He has wept during liturgies, promotions and talks. In 2015, Tagle condemned the Church's use of “harsh language” toward homosexual, claiming it had contributed to their alleged isolation. In 2017, he participated in an Easter campaign promoting greater acceptance of marginalized people, including homosexuals. #newsThwhrzspyd
Jane Allen was suffering from anorexia. She traveled to Colorado seeking treatment. Instead, her doctor offered assisted suicide — a prescription for death. Her father intervened just in time. Jane began to heal — eating again, tapering off morphine. The anorexia clinic dropped her, calling her a “liability.” When Jane chose life, her doctors walked away. Assisted suicide isn’t healthcare. It’s preying on the sick and vulnerable.
Yes, communism which NON Russians brought to the people and killed tens of millions of CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX. Some people ought to take out all the hate from their hearts and their lying and get rid of the ignorance they speak. What was Sister Lucia concerned about? communism. What does the Church teach? communism is a sin and evil. Who did the Saintly Popes reach out to? The Russian Orthodox. Who did the Russian Orthodox reach out to? Saintly Popes. Who did most of those Saintly Popes and more condemned fiercely? protestantism. The slaughterer of souls. And also the mind. YES! The errors of Russia! But NOT of the Russian People! As the Church has said, taught and shown for centuries.

Gloria.tv serves the Church by giving a voice to the faithful and to the truth. That independence comes at a price - quite literally. Gloria.tv serves its users - readers like you - with its own social-media technology. While editorial websites watch their readership plummet, Gloria.tv is growing and, according to Cloudflare Radar, ranks among the 10,000 largest websites in the world. No other Catholic media outlet ranks there. But here’s the straight talk: Having lots of users doesn’t pay our bills. There are no ads, and we serve our users for free. That’s how we want it. Gloria.tv depends on the generosity of a small group of ordinary faithful - many of them pensioners and praying widows. And to be blunt: This project runs on a very small budget. But not on no budget. That is why this autumn we are asking for your help again.

National Rally leader Marine Le Pen has been sentenced to 3 years in prison (2 of which are suspended) and fined €100,000 The remaining one year will be served under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. The court also reduced her political ineligibility from 5 years to 45 months (3.7 years), of which she has already served 30 months. Because Le Pen had already begun serving the disqualification from the initial ruling, the court ruled that the ineligibility period has been satisfied, making her eligible to run in France’s April 2027 presidential election. Le Pen has previously stated that she would not seek the presidency if forced to campaign while wearing an electronic ankle monitor.

Not a Good Look Seriously. Leo found time to meet with the Chinese Communists who picked their own bishops. He met with James Martin. He met with decorators for the apostolic palace. But couldn’t find time to meet with the SSPX. That is a fact JCS 77 (@musicthinker13) on X
The Redemption of Man and the Rejection of “Holy Sex” A Patristic and Scholastic Disputation Against the Modern Exaltation of Carnal Pleasure “The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.” —1 Corinthians 15:45 Prologue: The Question Before Us There is a fundamental question which must be asked before we speak of the holiness of sexual pleasure: What is man? And immediately after that: What became of man through the Fall? For if we begin with fallen man as though his present condition were the standard of human nature, we shall inevitably mistake the wounds of the Fall for the original design of God. This is precisely the danger in the modern exaltation of sexuality. The question is no longer merely: "Is marital intercourse lawful?" The Catholic tradition already answers that question. The more profound question is: "What ought the Christian to desire within the marital act?" And here a profound difference appears between the ascetical tradition …níos mó
