Leo XIV met Costa Rica’s president, gloriously veiled - or, as some might say, "divisively" so. Pope Leo XIV received Costa Rica’s Catholic President Laura Fernández Delgado in an audience on October 29. She presented Pope Leo XIV with a replica of Our Lady of the Angels, Costa Rica’s patroness. Two days earlier, on October 27, Cardinal Roche’s dicastery had warned that women wearing veils at Mass risk creating division and confusion within the Church. Costa Rica's right-wing president began her presidency with a public profession of faith. On May 9, 2026, one day after taking office, she attended Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago. #newsHlivqetqqc

“Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.”
Cardinal Burke denies the pre-conclave dinners. Cardinal Raymond Burke had denied hosting the dinners at his Roman apartment that allegedly helped secure Leo XIV’s election, writes Phil Lawler on CatholicCulture.org on October 29. The sensational story of the dinner parties at Cardinal Burke’s Rome apartment was published by the homosexual journalist Francesco Capozza on IlTempo.it in August. It is circulating again because RorateCaeli.blogspot.com translated the article on October 25. Capozza does not identify a single source, relying instead on anonymous accounts attributed to participants and an unnamed cardinal. The article suggests that two dinners at Cardinal Burke’s apartment helped secure 20–25 votes for Cardinal Prevost. Lawler does not cite a source for the denial either. Multiple sources had said that Cardinal Raymond Burke denied hosting the meetings, “Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.” …Дэлгэрэнгүй
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago presented the Christifideles Laici Award to Kathie Nash at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago on October 4. Nash is a homosex-activist and leader of the group 'One in Love', promoting “radical hospitality” and "blessings" for homosex couples. Cupich, 77, is already more than two years beyond the customary retirement age of 75 for bishops. He nevertheless remains Archbishop of Chicago under Pope Leo XIV, with whom he has longstanding ties. #newsQhqoihloss

Did Cardinal Parolin act on orders from above? Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatino.it believes the Vatican Secretariat of State was following orders when it refused the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage permission to enter St. Peter’s Basilica in procession. He finds it hard to believe the decision was made without agreement at the highest levels. When interviewer Giovanni Zenone suggested Pope Leo XIV was involved, Casalini replied: “I don't know that.” Casalini also raised the possibility that mainstream Vatican journalists had received telephone calls telling them to keep the controversy quiet, noting their relative silence despite widespread coverage in the English-speaking world.
Luigi Casalini: No, guarda, io non voglio difendere Parolin, ma secondo me, e arriviamo al terzo livello, secondo me la Segreteria di Stato sono stati molto maleducati, ma secondo me hanno fatto quello che gli è stato ordinato. Terzo, io mi rifiuterei di crederlo, ma come analista in questo momento e non come tifoso, cioè non come partecipante e, tra virgolette, organizzatore del pellegrinaggio, sarei... sono abbastanza incredulo che non ci fosse una concordanza nella decisione da parte delle più alte cariche, cioè... Giovanni Zenone (@Fede & Cultura): Cioè del Papa, dai, diciamolo chiaro, da parte del Papa. Luigi Casalini: No, io non lo so questo, però una decisione che poi è data... cioè soprattutto il mondo anglosassone... perché quello che anche lì è strano, è bizzarro, che stranamente in Italia questa cosa è stata tirata fuori dal Messaggero, dalla Bussola, da Messa in Latino, ovviamente, e anche da altri siti. Però stranamente, adesso non voglio essere malizioso, che i vaticanisti …Дэлгэрэнгүй
Why Pope Leo XIV Wants Every Catholic to Vote Pope Leo XIV is urging Catholics to vote, calling political indifference a cancer of democracy. The publication Letters from Leo has released a voter guide and is asking Catholics to pledge participation in the upcoming election. The effort draws on Catholic social teaching and the example of Father Theodore Hesburgh, who historically linked faith with civic engagement. The core message: faithful Catholics cannot remain passive spectators in democratic processes. The Daily Pope
Milan Archbishop Mario Delpini has issued new funeral guidelines. He reaffimed that funerals must be free, with only voluntary donations permitted. Funeral agencies cannot include Church fees in their price lists or dictate religious arrangements. Delpini also calls for limiting lengthy farewell speeches, preferably holding them after the liturgy. Catholic funerals cannot take place in private farewell rooms. While cremation is permitted, Delpini reiterates the Church’s prohibition on keeping ashes at home and proposes designated spaces for urns inside churches.
A historic verdict in Poland. For the first time, a Catholic bishop has been convicted for failing to report clerical homosexual abuse. Bishop Andrzej Jeż has announced that he will appeal the verdict. Today, October 29, a court in Tarnów convicted Bishop Jeż, 63, of failing to promptly report allegations of child homosexual abuse involving two priests in his diocese. It is the first conviction of a serving Catholic bishop in Poland for such an offense. The court sentenced Bishop Jeż to two years of restricted liberty, requiring him to surrender 25% of his monthly salary to a foundation supporting abused children. He must also pay 20,000 złoty into a victims' assistance fund. The case concerns allegations against two priests, Stanisław P. and Tomasz K. One priest was implicated in the abuse of at least 95 boys between 1987 and 2008. Church authorities had investigated allegations against Stanisław P. in the 2000s and dismissed him from the clergy in 2013. In July 2017, Poland introduced …Дэлгэрэнгүй
Left-wing talk host Jimmy Kimmel was briefly suspended for falsely insinuating Kirk’s killer was a member of President Donald Trump’s MAGA base, despite Kirk’s strong support of Trump. Falsely accusing? Trump yelled at him not long before Kirk was shot. He didn't care for Kirk trying to warn him about the Jews. Just like he didn't care for Carrie Prejean when she spoke about Catholic teachings on the Jews. Still today, no calls, emails or returned texts. Imagine that. A Catholic who was sucked into thinking he was a hero of any kind. There is so much hate in this world. I pray for the end of all evil. I have been thinking of also doing it during the day besides the three Our Father's at midnight. I hope everyone is doing the same thing. I have asked and begged many times to pray for all evil to be destroyed. Just like The Blessed Mother TOLD us we should be doing. In the Sign of The Cross. Just like her Son. Three Our Fathers at midnight!
This is what the students are now taught. They now hate the very system that allows them to be who they are. So, Pamper Baby is proud to celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk, a Christian who worked to tell the truth, tried to get students to think and care for their country and democracy. How morally sick.
Bishop Marian Eleganti: “The Vatican Cuts a Poor Figure”. Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti condemns the exclusion of Catholics from St. Peter’s Basilica on October 24: “This year’s ban on access to St. Peter’s Basilica for the tradition-minded pilgrims of ‘Ad Petri Sedem’ borders on hostility toward Catholics who are loyal to the Pope and orthodox in their faith. It has nothing to do with concern for unity in the Church or with operational difficulties in organizing liturgical celebrations in St. Peter’s Basilica.” “Synodal hypocrisy (inclusivity) has thereby revealed itself for what it is.” Bishop Eleganti notes that the “Ad Petri Sedem” pilgrims are not the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): “We have known it for a long time: Certain people are inclusive only as long as it serves their own goals. They ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly exclude different ways of thinking and different approaches to pastoral care and spirituality. This has been my consistent experience.” “So-…Дэлгэрэнгүй
I'm sorry but I don't' want to hear the whining from Dr. Kwasniewski, Matt and the other " wait before we judge Leo" appeasers. Start acting like men! Defend and support the SSPX, denounce the infiltrators or keep straddling the fence.
