Bistro on Roof of St. Peter's Basilica Ready to Open: A bistro on the roof of St. Peter's Basilica is ready to open, according to IlMessaggero.it. The new dining area, located beneath the basilica's dome, could open as early as September. The Vatican has maintained that the project is an expansion of the existing snack bar, where visitors can buy coffee, drinks and light snacks. Il Messaggero, however, reports that the completed facility includes a fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated bistro area opposite the current snack bar.
Più che bucatini all'amatriciana, penne pomodoro e... basilica. Con vista, piuttosto ampia, sulle polemiche. Torna a far discutere la decisione del Vaticano di aprire un punto di ristorazione sul tetto di San Pietro, il celeberrimo Cupolone, luogo simbolo non solo della città eterna ma anche della cristianità mondiale. ...E invece ad alzare la serranda, in alcuni dei locali che un tempo servivano per il ricovero dei materiali usati dagli addetti alla cura della basilica, dovrebbe invece essere un vero e proprio bistrot, destinato a essere paradiso di quei palati pronti a peccare di gola. L'occasione... golosa - Sfumata l'occasione di inaugurarlo durante il Giubileo, resterebbe quella dei 400 anni dall'apertura di San Pietro, datata novembre 1626. Un'occasione piuttosto golosa per sfoggiare il nuovo locale, che sempre in base alle informazioni raccolte dovrebbe sfruttare al meglio anche il grande terrazzamento in grado di offrire una spettacolare visuale su tutta Roma. Il tutto tra …More
1) Revelation 2:14; But I have this against you: you tolerate some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. a) They made the faithful bow their heads to the ground to worship the goddess Pachamama. b) They neither preach to nor baptize Muslims. Instead, they promote the worship of Baal in the Vatican, allowing Muslims to practice their religion there. The public flattering of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV toward Muslims is common knowledge, even as Muslims are killing Christians around the world and they say nothing. c) Mark 15–16; Jesus said: “Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned”. d) Instead of evangelizing as Jesus commanded, they encourage Catholics to discover a pagan god in Islam, leading them to worship Baal—the …More

Saint of the Day, August 6, 1965 by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira August 6 is the feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ. On this day, the first church on Mount Tabor was dedicated. Tradition has it that Mount Tabor was the “high mountain” described in the Gospel as the site of the Transfiguration. In 1457, Pope Callistus III ordered this feast to be solemnly celebrated throughout Christendom in thanksgiving for the defeat of the Turks in Belgrade, especially due to the heroic efforts of Saint John of Capistrano. The novena to Our Lady of the Assumption also begins on this day. We all know the Gospel episode in which the Lord goes up with Peter, James and John to the top of Mount Tabor. At a certain moment, He manifests Himself in all His glory with Moses on one side and Elijah, our spiritual father, on the other. The disciples are so enthralled with His glory that they express a desire to remain there. However, this external manifestation of glory gradually diminishes as the …More
"(49) Here one should consider with what craftiness the enemy deceived her regarding the way of obedience and then placed in her heart the contrary and beyond this, caused her to think that these thoughts proceeded from her. And the wicked one did all this to make her fall into the ditch of mortal sadness which was so dangerous that when she was liberated from it, she said that she had feared she would depart. "
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; born/died: Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (43) On the contrary, now wishing to show by its contrary how to understand and recognize the diabolic messengers through the experience which she had in the above-mentioned diabolical apparition, she says that in all three occasions when the enemy showed himself to her in the way described, it never occurred to her at that moment to wonder if it was the wicked spirit. Instead, immediately and without any verification, she believed that it was the good spirit because, in these apparitions, the false enemy always preached to her that virtue which she loved the most, that is, obedience. Then with much importunity, he insinuated the opposite, putting in her heart thoughts which inclined her to pass judgment on her superiors. (44) And then, after this, under the appearance of contrition, he aroused so much sorrow over these suggestions that he made her stay …More

"Therese superstar," a breathtakingly authentic documentary of the rise of devotion to St. Therese from 1897 to 1997. Many thanks to Remi Mauger and France 3 Normandie for making it and to Gloria.tv for hosting this indispensable piece of history.
Therese Lisieux F3 30. The bond between seeing and hearing in faith-knowledge is most clearly evident in John’s Gospel. For the Fourth Gospel, to believe is both to hear and to see. Faith’s hearing emerges as a form of knowing proper to love: it is a personal hearing, one which recognizes the voice of the Good Shepherd (cf. Jn 10:3-5); it is a hearing which calls for discipleship, as was the case with the first disciples: "Hearing him say these things, they followed Jesus" (Jn 1:37). But faith is also tied to sight. Seeing the signs which Jesus worked leads at times to faith, as in the case of the Jews who, following the raising of Lazarus, "having seen what he did, believed in him" (Jn 11:45). At other times, faith itself leads to deeper vision: "If you believe, you will see the glory of God" (Jn 11:40). In the end, belief and sight intersect: "Whoever believes in me believes in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me" (Jn 12:44-45). Joined to hearing, seeing then …More

Priest Attends Brother’s Homosexual ‘Wedding,’ Calls It ‘Amazing,’ ‘Special’
While traveling through India, a man passed an elephant camp and suddenly stopped, puzzled by what he saw. The enormous animals were not kept behind steel bars or restrained with heavy chains. Each elephant was held by nothing more than a thin rope tied around one front leg. It was obvious that these powerful creatures could have snapped the rope in an instant and walked away. Yet none of them even tried. The man noticed a trainer nearby and asked, “Why don’t the elephants break free? Surely they’re strong enough.” The trainer smiled. “When they are very young and much smaller, we tie them with ropes just like these. At that age, the rope is strong enough to hold them. They pull, struggle, and try to escape, but they cannot.” “Eventually, they stop trying. As they grow larger and stronger, they continue believing the rope is more powerful than they are. They never test it again.” The man was stunned. These majestic animals were capable of freeing themselves at any moment. The rope was …More
Cardinal Gambetti Expected to Leave St. Peter's Basilica: According to AdVaticanum, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti is expected to step down as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica by the end of the summer and become Archbishop of Chieti, a move seen as a demotion. The report attributes the change to Gambetti's fatigue after several demanding years, as well as controversies over security incidents at the basilica, administrative reforms, and other disputes. It also says his close association with Father Enzo Fortunato, who faced criticism over the World Children's Day initiative, weakened his position.
Three reasons: -Multiple personal leadership failures -Open war with the Chapter of Canons over power, money… and plastic chairs - The fallout from his initial trust with Fr Enzo Fortunato, whose handling of World Children’s Day left questions about wasted money,who is expected to leave anyways
