Blessed Margaret Pole - May 28 shalom-peace. Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury (14 August 1473 – 27 May 1541), was an English peeress. She was the daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, the brother of kings Edward IV and Richard III. Margaret was one of two women in 16th century England to be a peeress in her own right with no titled husband.[2] One of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the Wars of the Roses, she was executed in 1541 at the command of Henry VIII, who was the son of her first cousin Elizabeth of York. Pope Leo XIII beatified her as a martyr for the Catholic Church on 29 December 1886.
Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.

When the Eucharistic Lord enters classrooms | Shalom World News At Epiphany Catholic School in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, something extraordinary happened in the middle of an ordinary school day. The Eucharistic Lord was carried through the hallways, entering classrooms one by one, with students welcoming Jesus. Bells echoed through the corridors. Hymns filled the air. Teachers fell silent. Children knelt in reverence. Some bowed their heads in prayer, while others simply stared in awe at the Blessed Sacrament. For a few sacred moments, lessons paused, conversations faded, and heaven seemed to walk through the school halls. This is what Catholic education looks like when Christ is truly at the center — not just taught in textbooks but carried into everyday life. At Epiphany, students attend frequent Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and faith formation centered on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Commissioner for Padre Pio's Hospital: Leo XIV has established a Steering and Supervisory Commission to address the long-running financial troubles of Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, the southern Italian hospital founded by Padre Pio. The body, chaired by the Vatican's economy prefect Maximino Caballero Ledo, holds full operational powers and reports directly to the Pope. It will oversee efforts to stabilise the hospital, which carries debts of around €108 million to suppliers.
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | May 26, 2026 Although I generally admired Pope Leo’s first encyclical, I was dismayed to read, in paragraph 192: Today, more than ever, without prejudice to the right to self-defense in the strictest sense, it is important to reaffirm that the “just war” theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated. Pope Leo is not the first Pontiff to say that just-war theory is outdated. Pope Francis said the same thing. Even Pope Pius XII, who cannot be classified as a pacifist, said in his Christmas message of 1948: “The theory of war as an apt and proportionate means of solving international conflicts is now out of date.” But Pius XII, speaking in the aftermath of World War II, did not jettison just-war theory—even with the advent of The Bomb threatening new levels of mass destruction. No one short of Dr. Strangelove would think that nuclear war is “an apt and proportionate means” of resolving conflicts. A …
A recent Wall Street Journal weekly ‘Review and Outlook’ editorial was “The Truth about Hamas.” It kept me awake, and our news media must no longer cover it up.
May 28 Saint Germanus Bishop of Paris (496-576) In 542, the king Childebert, while making war in Spain, besieged Zaragoza, but when he heard that the inhabitants had placed themselves under the protection of the martyr St. Vincent of Saragossa, Childebert raised his siege and spared the city. In gratitude the bishop of Zaragoza presented him with the saint's stole. When Childebert came back to Paris, he caused a church to be erected to receive the relic where he could see it across the fields from the palace on the Île de la Cité. In 558 St. Vincent's church was completed and dedicated by Germain, 23 December; on the very same day, Childebert died. Close by the church a monastery was erected. Its abbots had both spiritual and temporal jurisdiction over the suburbs of Saint-Germain (lasting till about the year 1670). The church was frequently plundered and set on fire by the Normans in the ninth century. It was rebuilt in 1014 and dedicated in 1163 by Pope Alexander III.[4] Childebert …More

1. Leo XIV explicitly or humorously said that the single language before the tower of Babel was a lack of diversity. §10: “Let us avoid the ‘Babel syndrome’ … the uniformity that levels differences; the claim of a single — even digital — language…” 2. From the 224 footnotes, Pope Francis is cited 55 times. 3. At the press conference, Leo XIV said that the Church and the US tech company ‘Anthropic’, will walk together to "find the way for humanity." 4. The encyclical includes lots of personalist philosophy, including the erroneous idea of an “infinite” dignity of the person and “total gift of self.” 5. The first third of the document is primarily a theological and social-philosophical framework. The encyclical only becomes focused on technology and AI around §90 of the total 226 paragraphs. 6. Leo XIV's summary of past Catholic Social Teaching includes economic and political documents but ignores marriage and family. 7. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,... are framed as religions of …More

Uganda schließt seine Grenze zum Kongo, da die Ebola-Fälle sprunghaft ansteigen AP Press schreibt: Die ugandischen Behörden haben die Grenze zum Kongo aufgrund eines Anstiegs der seltenen Ebola-Fälle geschlossen. Diese Entscheidung wurde von einer lokalen Ebola-Taskforce unter der Leitung von Vizepräsidentin Jesca Alupo getroffen, nachdem vermehrt ugandische Gesundheitshelfer durch kongolesische Patienten, die vor dem Ausbruch am 15. Mai die Grenze überquert hatten, mit Ebola in Kontakt gekommen waren. Uganda hat sieben Ebola-Fälle bestätigt, darunter den Tod eines 59-jährigen Mannes in Kampala. Obwohl die Fallzahlen in Uganda nicht sprunghaft ansteigen, werden mehr Einheimische durch Gesundheitshelfer infiziert. Dr. Diana Atwine erklärte: „Sie haben Familien, und deshalb steigt die Zahl.“ Im Osten des Kongo nähert sich die Zahl der Verdachtsfälle von Ebola der 1.000er-Marke, mit mindestens 220 mutmaßlichen Todesfällen.

This dog is surely a spoiled brat. But I enjoy it. I have to lol sometimes they are so hysterical. I miss my cats and dogs so much. They were so entertaining and so much like children. We need to get Walter that lobster immediately!
I have to laugh out loud too! They have so much intelligence and emotion and I don't think we begin to understand it all. Thank you dear God for these animals.
– Folha de S. Paulo, March 15, 1970 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Today, we will wrap up this series by examining aspects of the so-called convergence policy, which Roger Garaudy invites capitalists and communists of our time to adopt. I’ll briefly outline this topic. Garaudy, an expert on religious issues for the French Communist Party, was one of the leading intellectuals who helped foster collaboration between communists and Catholics. Given the significant advantages that international communism gained and fully utilized, Garaudy’s role shouldn’t be seen just as an individual stance. The meeting between communists and Catholics was clearly a strategic move orchestrated by the top communist leadership, with Garaudy acting as their tool. Now, as he prepares for another “collaboration,” it’s clear that he is again acting on the orders of the same leadership. Communists must persuade capitalists to adopt a surrender policy similar to that of progressive Catholics in other areas.…More
“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII “connive in sins” various descriptions Connivance is the act of allowing wrongdoing to be covered up or overlooked, whether actively or passively; "Connivance" derives from the Latin coniveo: "to close the eyes, to overlook."; In theological terms, connivance is a useful term, especially for the passive allowance of immoral behavior; culpable indifference or criminal sympathy with the sin; Wink at his fault, and forbear to accuse and punish him; indifference to precise regulations of religion, indisposition of heart towards "perfect holiness"; a loose …More
Light penances for grave sins do more harm than good—they condemn the penitent to even greater torment in purgatory and make the priest complicit in the sins. Moreover, does a woman understand the full gravity of her sin after receiving three Lord's Prayer prayers as satisfaction for an abortion? Will she refrain from repeating the sin next time?
