The home of Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, in Florence was burgled while he was in Britain. The Albanian cardinal was received by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle on September 15. According to Corriere.it, thieves targeted the Curia-owned apartment in Piazza Duomo where Simoni lives with his nephew Tonin and his family. When his nephew called with the news, the cardinal’s first concern was not the money: “Did they leave the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje? And Padre Pio?” Told both were untouched, Simoni replied simply: “Allora poco male” - “Then, little harm done.” The burglars smashed through a wall with chisels, forced open an armoured door and ransacked wardrobes, boxes and luggage, leaving their tools on the landing. The haul, estimated at €30,000, included cash, gold, jewellery, medals and a gold seal. Strangely, Simoni’s residence permit was also taken. Tonin and his wife had left around 1 p.m. and returned at 11 p.m. to find the apartment ransacked. Tonin believes the family …Zvimwe
Sadly, AI can, and likely will be, used by the very same naysayers to constrict public opinion and liberties when their 'turn up at bat' comes. Moreover, consider what AI from the Soviet Union would have looked like had it been 'fed' the skewed vision of the world under which that system operated. Like fire, it is a tool; it must be used with caution, and wisely.
Leo XIV-Appointed Archbishop at the UN wants to get rid of free speech. The new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Christophe El-Kassis, delivered his first address at the UN on September 17. The Archbishop rejected “every form of intolerance, discrimination, and hate speech”. And: “Any hate speech - directed at either individuals or communities because of their religion, race, nationality, or any other characteristic - goes against the commandment to love one’s neighbor.” He believes, it “poisons public discourse, inflames division, and too often prepares the ground for violence and persecution.” Words that intentionally provoke hatred “cannot claim the protection of liberty.” Leo XIV appointed Monsignor El-Kassis to the United Nations in July.

Dan Dicks Shannon Holmes is a movement therapist who used to help people with physiotherapy before she took the Covid vaccine. After the shot her legs began tingling and vibrating and she knew something was terribly wrong. After seeking medical help the doctor said she’s a “giant medical question mark” she was then told to just go home. Her pain started getting worse, spreading throughout her entire body. That evening she felt like she was being electrocuted. The video shows how she felt like she was being uncontrollably “pulled” She is in constant pain now, it’s been 5 years and there’s no end in sight. The Canadian government and health authorities have done absolutely nothing to help her. Please share her story!! facebook.com/…o-help-people-with-physiotherap/101…
Shannon is sadly not the only one who is suffering and too many have died from the experimental shot.. Canada’s former PM Justin Trudeau kept telling Canadians the vaccine was safe and effective. He lied. The recent Allison Inquity about vaccine injury heard some 50 testimonies. The MSM did not cover the story. Every Canadian, and person of goodwill, should …

Nevertheless, Vatican diplomacy will “continue on our path.” He also confirmed that Cardinal Matteo Zuppi’s humanitarian mission concerning Ukraine will continue, including returning to Moscow this September. #newsSnfkpmtoau
Servant of God Therese Neumann - September 18 Therese Neumann (9 April 1898 – 18 September 1962) was a German Catholicmystic and stigmatic. Neumann has been considered a Servant of God by the Catholic Church since 2005. She was born in the village of Konnersreuth in Bavaria, Germany, where she lived all her life. She was born into a large family with little income. She was a member of the Third Order of St. Francis. Therese Neumann - Wikipedia On 11 March 1918, Therese Neumann was partially paralyzed after falling off a stool while attending to a fire in her uncle's barn. She sustained more falls and injuries during this period. After one particular fall she claimed to have lost much of her eyesight, and in 1919 she claimed to have been blinded completely. Bedridden, she reportedly developed horrible bed sores that sometimes exposed bone. Therese reported that her eyesight was restored on 29 April 1923—the day Therese of Lisieux was beatified in Rome.

Once there were two men who had been best friends for many years. And they truly were friends — the kind who would do almost anything for each other. One of them was trusting and innocent, with a genuinely kind heart. He always believed the best about people. The other was much more clever and experienced. He was kindhearted too, but he understood people and life far better than his friend did. One day, the clever friend ran into serious trouble. His business collapsed, he lost nearly everything, and he found himself broke. So he went to his trusting friend and asked for help. Without hesitation, his friend gave him everything he had. Some time later, the trusting man fell in love with a young woman and became engaged. Just before the wedding, his clever friend came to him and said: “I’m in love with your fiancée. Please, let me have her.” The trusting man was shocked. He struggled with the request for a long time, but because he loved his friend so deeply, he finally stepped aside. The …Zvimwe
"Leo XIV is building a homosexual church by personnel" Democrat Christopher Hale, a liberal "Catholic", draws attention to the pro-homosexual record of Pope Leo XIV’s episcopal appointments. This week, Leo XIV chose Bischof Michael Saporito - known for his outreach to homosexuals - to lead the Diocese of Metuchen. Hale notes that “Leo’s method is personnel.” He then writes: “One diocese at a time, he is choosing the men who decide whether a gay Catholic in Middlesex County finds the church door open.” And: “Pope Leo XIV is building a church where that welcome is policy, and the tool he has chosen is the men he names.” Hale lists the bishops Thomas Hennen, Ramón Bejarano, James Checchio, Michael Saporito, and Germany’s Christian Würtz, while also citing other personnel choices as part of the same broader pattern.
Leo XIV has named another LGBT-inclusive bishop to lead a diocese of 670,000 Catholics. Bishop Michael Saporito, who served under Cardinal Joseph Tobin, led a parish that welcomed gay Catholics and their families. He also participated in private dialogues with LGBT Catholics, saying he “felt enriched by the exchange of personal stories.”
French military chaplain Romain Ghandou has sparked a political storm, with a prominent left-wing politician calling for his imprisonment. The video is from a 7 Oct 2025 Mass at Carcassonne Cathedral, before soldiers of the 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e RPIMa). “Calm down, leftists! Breathe through your nose,” Ghandou said, drawing laughter and applause. He attacked “liars,” “incompetents” and those who “lecture everyone.” He urged soldiers to “keep fighting” and have “the courage of your convictions,” warning that otherwise France would be ridiculed and “others will take our place.” Le Canard enchaîné publicised the footage Friday, sparking outrage on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), alleged “racist insults” and said: “His place is in prison.” Le Canard linked the sermon to the “Great Replacement,” though Ghandou does not use that phrase in the published excerpt.

Bishop Mutsaerts attacks “angry” Catholic blogs. Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts — one of the better bishops, who survived a car accident in June — has launched a polemical attack on Catholics who dominate online discourse. “One can eventually spend so much time fighting modernism that Christ becomes almost incidental,” Mutsaerts writes in a lengthy article on his blog on September 16. “One can read every day about everything going wrong in Rome and barely open the Gospel. One can receive news of the latest disaster in a dicastery on Facebook within ten minutes and have no idea which saint is commemorated that day.” “That is not a victory for tradition. It is spiritual distraction.” Mutsaerts continues: “Read more Augustine than ecclesiastical Twitter. Read more Benedict XVI than angry blogs. Spend longer praying for your bishop than complaining about him.” Elsewhere, he alleges that Catholics preoccupied with Church politics may not even know the Catechism: “A Catholic who does …Zvimwe
