The work of the white around the neck shows that the Artisan was quite skilled in his craftsmanship. Faces looking forward are always tough to do. In looking at all the 266 mosaics of the popes at St. Paul Outside the Walls, very few show the Pope looking straight out. Now there IS a legend that claims when they run out of wall space, that will be the last pope and end of the world. Why the popes’ mosaics spark end-of-the-world … Here is a nicer one to look at - Messiah
ترجمه به زبان فارسی پیامی به مسلمانان نیکخواه و با امیدی استوار به آزادی واقعی. مسیح در انتظار توست و تو با تجربه شخصی خود، ریشهدار بودن معنا و ارزش ایمان مسیحی را خواهی دید. شجاع باش و نترس؛ عیسی، خدای راستین و انسان کامل، با توست. «همه چیز برای تو، ای قلب مقدس عیسی» نکته: گزارشهای مختلف از نهادهای مسیحی حاکی از آن است که نزدیک به ۵۰,۰۰۰ مسجد از حدود ۷۵,۰۰۰ مسجد در ایران در سالهای اخیر از فعالیت بازماندهاند یا عملاً خالی هستند، که عمدتاً به دلیل کاهش شدید حضور مردم است. بحران اقتصادی، سرکوب رژیم و تحمیل سختگیرانه قوانین اسلامی باعث ناامیدی عمیق در میان مردم شده است، به ویژه پس از خشونتهای اعمال شده علیه زنانی که علیه قوانین حجاب دست به اعتراض زدند. در میان این فضای ناامیدی، شمار فزایندهای از ایرانیان — که برخی برآوردها تعداد آنها را بین صدها هزار تا سه میلیون نفر تخمین میزنند — در حال یافتن امیدی تازه در عیسی مسیح هستند. بسیاری از آنها از رویاروییهای شخصی با عیسی از طریق رؤیاها و خوابها سخن میگویند؛ تجربیاتی که آنها را واقعی، عمیق و تحولآفرین توصیف میکنند. این دیدارهای …بیشتر
Pope Leo plans to visit Angola as part of a multi-nation trip across Africa, the Vatican's ambassador to the country announced on Tuesday, in what could be the pontiff's first overseas trip in 2026.
Padre Guilherme Peixoto performed in a Beirut nightclub: On 10 January, Rev Guilherme Peixoto presided over a Eucharist at the University of the Holy Spirit of Kaslik, Lebanon. Later that night, he performed a DJ set at AHM, a Beirut nightclub. A legal complaint filed on 4 January by a group including clergy sought to cancel the concert, citing moral concerns. The petition was rejected by a judge on 9 January. The event proceeded after the venue announced that no religious symbols would be displayed and that no clerical attire would be worn. The performance lasted about two and a half hours and drew roughly 2,000 attendees. The priest played 1990s techno music with deep bass that was repetitive and boring, interspersed with very brief interludes of bells, hints of Gloria and Alleluia, and fragments of symphonic music. Images flashed across the screens: a large white dove, Pope John Paul II, and - of course - a rainbow.
A recent performance in Beirut of Father Guilherme Peixoto sparked opposition from some Christians in Lebanon. “Not all need to like what I’m doing, but they need to respect. It’s music to bring the church outside of the church,” he said.
Yet they still don't care. It's like they live to see every scandal there is. That it's the first thing they seek out. I don't care to see any of it. I try to scroll from it so I don't get caught up in it. Besides I get extremely upset when I not only see it on gtv but when thousands look at it brhenry
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen: “We now have a geopolitical crisis. If we have to choose between the USA and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU”
Bishop Schneider has asked Pope Leo XIV to issue an apostolic constitution on the Latin Mass. Schneider suggests that this would completely lift the restrictions on the traditional rite. He met with Pope Leo in December.
The strange pectoral cross of Bergoglio ANTIPOPE Bergoglio did not choose a new cross, but kept the one he had as Archbishop, seems to reveal that he does not consider the dignity of a Pope to be essentially higher than that of a Bishop. This also is confirmed by his insistence on being called Bishop of Rome, instead of Pope.
freemasons ADORED ANTIPOPE bergoglio Communiqué Rome, March 14, 2013 Grand Master Raffi: "With Pope Francis, nothing will be more as it was before. It is a clear choice of fraternity for a Church of dialogue, which is not contaminated by the logic and temptations of temporal power" "A man of the poor far away from the Curia. Fraternity and the desire to dialogue were his first concrete words. Perhaps nothing in the Church will be as it was before. Our hope is that the pontificate of Francis, the Pope who 'comes from the end of the world' can mark the return to the Church-Word instead of the Church-Institution, promoting an open dialogue with the contemporary world, with believers and non-believers, following the springtime of Vatican II." These were the comments of Gustavo Raffi, Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, at the beginning of the pontificate of Francis, in the world Jorge Mario Bergoglio. "The Jesuit who is close to the least ones of history," Raffi continues, "has the …بیشتر
Apostles Dropped Nets: Do You Truly Believe? Today's Gospel reading highlights Jesus calling his first apostles, who readily followed Him. This prompts reflection on our own willingness to follow Jesus, to repent of our sins, and to believe in the Gospel. The challenge is to allow the kingdom of God to be firmly established within us, leading to a life centered on Jesus and His teachings. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

New Archbishop of Cape Town supports the “rights of LGBTQ+ persons”: Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Sithembele Sipuka to the notable Archdiocese of Cape Town on Friday. In October 2024, the prelate was elected president of the ecumenical body South African Council of Churches (SACC) that was already before him a homosexual ideological group. During the 'National Day of Prayer' in June 2025, the SACC's general secretary read a programme declaration. Monsignor Sipuka stood next to him and bears, as SACC president, institutional responsibility for this declaration. The SACC is committed to “defending the rights and dignity of marginalised communities, including refugees and LGBTQI+ persons”.

A big company decided to send three employees to a professional development program. The first one to go was a data analyst. He came back three days later and reported: “The course was fascinating. They taught us how to build a full analytical model. The model doesn’t actually work yet, but hey — the architecture is gorgeous.” The second one was a sales manager. He returned after two days and announced: “Fantastic training. They taught us how to sell anything. If you want, I can sell you my completion certificate — it’s still warm.” The third was a logistics specialist. He didn’t return after three days. Not after five. Two weeks went by before he finally walked back into the office — tanned, relaxed, and looking extremely pleased with himself. Everyone rushed him: “Where have you been?!” He shrugged: “Well… did anyone book me a return date? Did anyone put down the office address? Did anyone list a contact person in case I got lost? No? Thought so. So I applied what they taught …بیشتر

Should we buy that on earth any minion of satan is more moral than another minion of satan even though there are lower levels of hell prepared for the [unrepentant] earthly minions. ------- OR------- Perhaps, this is just one more minion whose goal is to divide in order to seduce and manipulate a soul to side with one minion over another minion???
