Pope Leo XIV has issued an Easter message to residents of Debel, a predominantly Christian village in southern Lebanon, currently besieged by ongoing Israeli bombardments and military restrictions. The message was delivered through Cardinal Pietro Parolin. Leo XIV expressed “paternal closeness and tenderness” to the people of Debel and extended compassion to all civilians suffering amid the conflict in South Lebanon. The message encouraged residents to find spiritual strength in the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, despite the “sorrow, anguish, and mourning” brought on by the violence and isolation facing the village. The Pope also urged the community not to lose hope, assuring them that their prayers and suffering are not forgotten. Invoking the protection of Our Lady of Lebanon, he concluded by offering his Apostolic Blessing to the people of Debel and their families. #newsHyygasezja
A Finnish study has found that psychiatric morbidity increased over time among adolescents who underwent "gender reassignment". Published in Acta Paediatrica and led by Professor Riittakerttu Kaltiala, the research followed more than 2,000 young people referred to gender identity programs, alongside over 16,000 matched controls, with follow-up extending up to 25 years. The study includes hormones and/or organ mutilations. It is a nationwide observational study, not a randomized trial. Among those who received medical interventions: - Psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in individuals undergoing feminising treatments. - It rose from 21.6% to 54.5% in those undergoing masculinising treatments. The study reports that psychiatric morbidity remained substantially elevated over time. Even after accounting for prior psychiatric history, "gender-referred" adolescents showed substantially higher psychiatric morbidity than matched peers. Nearly 48% had already received specialist …Zaidi
Vice President JD Vance attends a press conference in Budapest, Hungary, on April 7. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) U.S. strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island do not represent a change in American strategy, Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday, as a U.S. official separately told Reuters the additional strikes on military targets did not impact oil infrastructure. The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, described at least some of the strikes as targeting sites that had been previously struck before and said the attack occurred in the early morning hours of Tuesday. Vance, speaking separately in Budapest, said the strikes were not a change in U.S. strategy, with the Trump administration confident that it can get a response from Iran by 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time in negotiations to end the conflict.

This is the dangerous and threatening language that U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social just hours ago: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! Is this the language of a sane president of any nation? Who asks God to bless the very people he wants to kill? Only a demented person could do that. It's desperate words a madman. Who is actually been doing for "47 years (the) extortion, corruption, and death?" Here's a comment made online that best up the insanity that is coming in both words and action from …
Trump is fulfilling a script about the destruction of the Israeli state and Christianity using the Muslim force united with the Communist Russian and China states. Cui Bono? Certainly not the Christian West or the Israeli state. Russia and China are only gaining strength from the actions of the US. It is all about the "Errors of Russia!"
A forensic study has rejected long-standing claims of an organised network of 'stolen babies' in Spain during the second half of the 20th century. Conducted by five forensic geneticists from the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences (INTCF), the research was published in March. What did the "narrative" claim? The 'stolen babies' narrative, which gained widespread attention in the 2000s and 2010s, alleged that, during the Franco era and beyond (1950s–1990s), newborn babies were systematically taken from their parents in hospitals. Mothers were told their babies had died, while the children were allegedly given to other, regime-loyal families - sometimes for money. The narrative described a coordinated network involving medical staff, hospital administrators and religious institutions, including Catholic institutions. Advocacy groups and reports have claimed that up to 300,000 babies were stolen. The first religious figure to be formally investigated was Sister María …Zaidi

Epstein in Paris: How a Sex Offender Hustled for Access to France’s Elite Jeffrey Epstein spent his last days of freedom in Paris, meeting with influential figures. It was a playbook he used everywhere he lived to stamp a veneer of respectability on a life of sordid criminality. nytimes.com/…/world/europe/epstein-paris-france- … In his last days as a free man, busy in his part-time home of Paris, Jeffrey Epstein did not appear like someone who dreaded a legal reckoning. There were meetings with architects and interior decorators. A dinner with Norwegian diplomats. Appointments with a Russian French mathematician and a Kuwaiti former official. It was a Paris sojourn like countless others for Mr. Epstein, whose every-other-month visits since the early 2000s had been a mix of restless networking, real estate shopping and, according to testimony gathered by French prosecutors, systematic sex trafficking. It was a playbook used by Mr. Epstein in every place he lived: From Manhattan to …Zaidi
