Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israeli authorities to grant Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusal “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He reversed an earlier decision after Israeli police blocked the Cardinal and few other priests from entering the holy site during Palm Sunday celebrations. The disproportionate restriction triggered strong international criticism from political leaders. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog personally apologized to the Cardinal following the incident. The video below shows the empty, silent streets of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, devoid of the procession, olive and palm branches, and the cheers of the faithful. #newsOnyraezrlx
In any case, later in the day the Patriarchate released images from an "intimate and solemn ceremony," with the cardinal blessing the City of Jerusalem from Gethsemane with a relic of the True Cross, imploring peace. In his meditation, the cardinal referred to the Gospel account where Jesus laments, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem ... How often have I desired to gather your children together..."
Auf jeden Fall veröffentlichte das Patriarchat später am Tag Bilder von einer "innigen und feierlichen Zeremonie", bei der der Kardinal die Stadt Jerusalem von Getsemani aus mit einer Reliquie des wahren Kreuzes segnete und um Frieden bat. In seiner Meditation verwies der Kardinal auf das Evangelium, in dem Jesus klagt: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem... Wie oft habe ich gewünscht, deine Kinder zu versammeln..."
This creep needs to be locked up. The Holy Family used oil lamps for light and wood to cook. I guess being brain dead qualifies one for the episcopacy.
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, has defended his decisions to restrict the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to only one location and to prohibit the use any tools for kneeling at Communion. In an interview with AmericaMagazine.org on 26 March, he began with a thinly veiled dismissal of Catholics attached to the Roman rite: "I don't want to say that they're some sort of lunatic fringe. They're not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there's goodness and holiness in that." Leo XIV Would Not Change what Francis Has Done Monsignor Martin referred to his responsibility as a bishop to maintain fidelity to the Church’s "norms". He framed his cruel decisions, especially those relating to the Traditional Latin Mass, as an act of obedience: "All I did was implement Traditionis Custodes in the Diocese of Charlotte." The bishop rejected the idea of extending the existing Masses indefinitely without a clear pastoral plan to end them: "If we need …More
Did you know that after the Macron "Rothschild" Olympics' blasphemous re-enactment of the Last Supper, the first country to defend Christianity and condemn it was Iran? It was not the USA, Britain, Italy, or Israel. In Tehran a billboard went up, with these words: "Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, is a messenger of God." Did you know that after the Macron "Rothschild" …
This post is about standing up for Christ. Keep it that way please. Just because no one else defended Our Lord as Iran did, and as quickly as they did, you shouldn't take the good they did for Our Lord and twist it. There are no alternatives. It is a post on how one country we are told is evil was the first to defend GOD! Try to be thankful at least that GOD was pleased with it. Which I am sure he was. Going out of their way to post a huge billboard to defend Him. Did Poland do the same? I would love to see them. V.R.S.Polish conservative leader condemns Paris …
Cardinal Pietro Parolin has introduced a confusing approach to the debate on the relationship between faith and institutions in states with a Catholic tradition. In statements prior to his trip to the Principality of Monaco alongside the Pope, the Vatican Secretary of State stated, according to Rome Reports: “Faith should not stifle institutions, even in a confessional state like the Principality of Monaco”... ...While the Pontiff insists on the integrative potential of faith as an element that shapes the social order, the Secretary of State points to the need to preserve a balance that avoids the subordination of institutions to a strictly confessional logic.
"Pride, as we have said, was the cause of the sin of Adam, and, consequently, of the ruin of the human race. On this account Jesus Christ came to repair this ruin by his own humiliation; not refusing to embrace the shame of all the insults that his enemies offered him, as he had himself predicted by David: Since for your sake I have endured reproach, confusion has covered My face. The whole life of our Redeemer was filled with shame and insults which he received from men; and he did not refuse to accept them, even to the extent of death itself, in order to deliver us from eternal shame: Who, having joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame."
