Pope Leo XIV met and blessed children from the Catholic Marcel Van School at Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport. Marcel Van is an école hors contrat: it operates without a contract with the French state. That means it receives none of the usual state funding and has greater educational independence.

‘SELECTED WRITINGS’ – Saint Hildegard of Bingen; Translated by Mark Atherton – ‘16. Teachings on the Church (from Scivias)…’; pages 118; part III [Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; born: Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/died: Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] [The rich landlord and the steward] [II, 3, 36] [The voice from heaven:] A rich landlord has a steward who allots his goods fairly to those who are eligible and exercises his office loyally. If this steward is found guilty of some other misdeed, his lord will nevertheless not dismiss him ungraciously from his service. He will however say to him, ‘you are wicked for what you have done.’ He will be angry with him in his heart, but he will still graciously accept the administration of his justice. In the same way I, who have many stewards, will …Kara
God the Eternal Father ~ "[Sun, moon and stars] [from II, 5] [The voice from heaven:] These are great mysteries. Consider the sun, moon and stars. I created the sun to light the day and the moon and stars to light the night. The sun signifies my Son, who came forth from my heart and shone in the world when, at the end of the ages, he was born of a maiden just as the sun breaks forth, rising at the end of the night, and lighting up the world."
Birds of a feather flock together for a relaxed round-table meeting in Metz: Leo XIV sat down with a small group of European leaders and dignitaries — several of whom have rather compromised records on life issues. Around the table were Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco, Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, Luxembourg PM Luc Frieden, Andorra’s Co-Prince Bishop Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat, and former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
À l'issue de l'événement organisé à Metz sous le titre « Aux racines de l'Europe », le #Pape a rencontré certaines des personnalités présentes lors d'un entretien privé dans une salle du Palais des Congrès. Dix invités étaient présents, dont les Macron, le prince Albert et Charlène, M. Frieden et M. Juncker.

Truth is a sword that the synodal Church “wraps in cotton wool,” Swiss Bishop emeritus Marian Eleganti writes on his blog on September 27. He comments on a thematic guide prepared for Leo XIV’s October 7–14 meeting with the presidents of bishops’ conferences. Monsignor Eleganti argues that the synodal Church uses a predominantly “sentimental vocabulary,” moving away from clear sacramental and canonical criteria toward a language of accompaniment and appreciation. He contrasts Familiaris Consortio with Amoris Laetitia: the former is now treated, he argues, as “yesterday” and “too hard,” the latter as “today” and “merciful.”
Bischof Marian Eleganti kritisiert kurz vor dem Vatikan-Treffen von Papst Leo XIV. zu Amoris Laetitia die Synodalität. Die synodale Kirche urteile mit „sentimentalem Vokabular“ statt nach sakramentalen und kirchenrechtlichen Kriterien: Familiaris Consortio sei „gestern – zu hart“, Amoris Laetitia „heute – barmherzig“. Die Wahrheit, so Eleganti, werde dabei „in Watte gepackt“.
A drone show lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, forming sacred images and the motto of Pope Leo XIV’s visit: “So that the world may have life.” Earlier in the evening, Leo XIV joined Lourdes’ famous torchlight procession, walking among tens of thousands of candle-carrying pilgrims — a different approach from his predecessors, who presided over the procession from a terrace.
Drones lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, September 27, bringing Pope Leo XIV’s torchlight procession to a spectacular close. The drones formed images of the Virgin Mary, a dove and cross, along with the motto of the Pope’s visit to France: “Pour que le monde ait la vie” (“So that the world may have life.”)
Jean-Marie Delbos was sexually abused as a boy at Notre-Dame de Bétharram, a Catholic school in southwest France. He lost his faith and had not been to Mass in 60 years. Today he met Pope Leo XIV at Lourdes. “He took me in both arms,” Delbos said. “I never imagined it was the pope holding me.” “Even me, a notorious unbeliever,” he added. “This man made me make the sign of the cross.”
A well-staged Papal event. Days of saturation coverage, politicians lining up, interfaith delegations, enormous crowds and journalists analysing every gesture: Leo XIV’s visit to France has become much more than a trip. Whatever one thinks of the motives behind it, secular French media and laicist public institutions have helped turn the visit into a national event — and staged the image of a Catholic revival in one of Europe’s most famously secular republics.
The World celebrates him: All glory is given to this person who systematically destroys Our Church. The mainstream media loves him. At the same time Christ is cast out, abused by him as a veneer for his synodal poison
Saint Simón de Rojas - September 28 Saint Simón de Rojas O.SS.T. (28 October 1552 – 29 September 1624) was a Spanish priest of the Trinitarian Order known as the "Apostle of the Ave Maria", for his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.[1] A person of many abilities, Simón was a theologian and a spiritual writer, as well as a friend and benefactor of the poor.
"At the End of the Santa Fe Trail" - the great old book which made Sister Blandina Segale's journal available to everyone, and which could be found in almost all public libraries, has inspired a film about her amazing encounters with Billy the Kid.

« Saint Father, grant all faculties to the FSSPX. » This message, carried by the faithful on a banner along Boulevard Saint-Michel, was seen by Pope Leo XIV during his passage through the streets of Paris, on this September 26.
Faithful in Paris asked Leo XIV to grant full faculties to the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). As Pope Leo XIV travelled through Paris in the popemobile on September 25, faithful held up a large English sign reading: “Holy Father, grant full faculties to the SSPX.” The scene on Boulevard Saint-Michel occurred during the Pope’s procession through central Paris toward Notre-Dame. #newsFbemwqzkhr

Robot goes crazy first day on the job. Security camera footage from an office in China captures a startling malfunction involving a Unitree humanoid robot during what appears to be routine indoor testing or demonstration. The robot initially stands normally before suddenly erupting into violent, erratic arm movements, rapidly swinging its limbs and shifting into an aggressive looking stance that sends nearby employees rushing to intervene. Several staff members quickly surround the machine, attempting to restrain it as it continues flailing and resisting for several tense seconds. The dramatic scene, which many online compared to a science fiction movie, ends with workers successfully bringing the robot under control. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. While the exact cause has not been publicly confirmed, incidents like this are commonly associated with software glitches, sensor failures, or control system errors during development. As humanoid robots continue expanding into …Kara
