Multiple governments - including the USA, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Lebanon, and Poland, - condemned Israeli police for blocking a private prayer by Cardinal Pizzaballa at the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem today. In response, Israeli officials say they are working on a plan to allow church leaders to worship at the holy site in the coming days. Cardinal Pizzaballa told TV2000 that there were no clashes: "Everything was done in a very polite manner. I do not want to force the issue. We want to use this situation to try to clarify better in the coming days what to do, in respect for everyone's safety but also in respect for the right to prayer."
Cardinal Pizzaballa: “It is true that the police had said that the orders from the internal command prevented any kind of gathering in places where there is no shelter, but we had not asked for anything public, just a brief and small private ceremony to preserve the idea of the celebration in the Holy Sepulchre. There were no clashes; everything was done in a very polite manner. I do not want to force the issue; we want to use this situation to try to clarify better in the coming days what to do, in respect for everyone's safety but also in respect for the right to prayer."

She speaks up and trump is as usual "SILENT"! When now is the time for his big mouth to protest and use his friendship to prevent what they are doing in Israel against Christians. And people wonder why I love Putin and Russia so much. Ha! Try learning how he protects all faiths in Russia. And attacking or stopping The Catholics in Russia will never ever happen!
Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, said law enforcement agents must “evaluate everything in the light of Christ” while discerning actions in regard to immigration enforcement. Seitz issued the first pastoral letter on mass detention and deportations on March 14. The letter followed the special message the U.S. bishops released in November 2025 expressing opposition to “indiscriminate mass deportations.” In his pastoral letter Seitz wrote: The “current national campaign of mass detention and detention is a grave moral evil, one which must be opposed, with prayer, peaceful action, and acts of solidarity with those affected.” In the Catholic Church, “a grave moral evil” could indicate mortal sin. When asked if agents may need to disobey orders, or even leave their jobs, to avoid mortal sin, Seitz said: “I think the first thing that is most important is that you can’t put your conscience on hold if you’re a disciple of Jesus Christ.��� “You have to evaluate everything in the …
This is how the streets of Jerusalem looked during this year’s Palm Sunday procession! Silent, empty of olive and palm branches and the faithful’s cheers
On 24 March, a court in Privas, France, delivered its verdict in the case of Father Bernard Domini and the Catholic community Famille Missionnaire de Notre Dame (FMND). The case raises wider questions about religious freedom and new legal standards in France. Following a two-year investigation, the case centred on allegations of "abuse of vulnerability" and 2psychological subjection" brought by five former members of the community. The community has approximately 160 members. The charges did not involve allegations of sexual abuse, physical violence or financial misconduct, but instead focused on the community's internal practices and discipline. In its ruling, the court issued ten decisions, resulting in seven acquittals and three convictions. Father Bernard was convicted on one count and acquitted on four others, while the FMND was convicted on two counts. The punishments handed down were relatively lenient: a six-month suspended sentence for Father Bernard and a €25,000 fine for the …Okunengi
I wonder where trump the fake Christian is? Why isn't he saying a word about this? He could easily stop this madness in Israel. He has a lot of pull with Israel and bibi. After all he turned jew back in 2018. Revealed by many jewish sources. Well, I guess that answers an obvious question.
Reports indicate Saudi Arabia is now aligning with U.S. and Israeli operations following Iranian strikes on regional bases. If confirmed, this marks a major escalation: • A U.S.-Israel operation becomes a wider coalition war • Multiple Gulf states now directly involved • Iran facing pressure from several fronts at once • The risk of full regional conflict just surged
It was American and British interests in 1953 that made sure the autocratic Shaw had power. A little history helps to explain the animosity many have for the American empire. Who is the real bully?

Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami.

I was in the middle of listening to exactly what Russia was doing to help or not help Iran. I will finish it and then post it. if I can find it again. Not sure who posted it. But was from a Russian channel I believe. I don't trust anyone from this administration or the media. I rather hear it from the mouth of Putin himself who never lies. Every time someone posts a video or article I usually already know if it's true or not. And the truth is always revealed.

Okay! So at the bottom of this thread you will find comments by @Instaurare Omnia in Christo all the way down at the bottom resurrecting a 4 month old argument. She said, "Remember? I posted an article on your post and you deleted it. Then denied it. When only you or I could delete it." And I reply here because @Instaurare Omnia in Christo blocks me but wants to promote her Russian influence without the courtesy of discourse or opposing Catholic views. I have never blocked anything. Also she said, "You came after me. Just like the time with a picture you posted making a big deal out of it. Putin shaking hands with a N.K. Officer. Saying what a commie he is for shaking someone's hands. There is no one he won't shake hands with. I have tons of videos to prove that." If that doesn't prove Putin's a commie then at least see it as a strategic public maneuver for the entire world to see that Russia is still aligned with the Red Communist menace and a danger to the Christian West!
@philosopher Thank you for your comment. I was comparing the Moscow "Catholic" church to the Chi-Com "Catholic" church. But yes the Bolshevik's control all of the "communist" countries as well as most "Western" countries including the US. The Israeli Mossad is actually an extension of the KGB. The freemasonic lodge acts as one of the "grey state" mafias to infiltrate the general public and promote Bolshevism in fraternal organizations. As for your disparaging comment about being a "conspiracy theorist," that of course is simply your way of coping with truths you do not want to accept, it is called Stockholm Syndrome. The Catholic Church has always taught there is a Satanic Conspiracy to destroy the Catholic Church and send souls to hell. It is not unreasonable to identify the bad actors of such a conspiracy since Satan uses human minions as his cannon fodder. The Church has identified Moscow as the center of the bad actors today.

Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.” “Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”
Jerusalem: Kardinal an Zutritt zu Grabeskirche gehindert Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land, Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, ist von der israelischen Polizei am Zugang zur Grabeskirche in der Altstadt von Jerusalem gehindert worden. Der Italiener Pizzaballa habe in der Kirche die traditionelle Messe zum Palmsonntag feiern wollen, sei aber von israelischen Polizisten angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert worden, teilte das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem heute mit. Reuters/Ammar Awad Mit ihm sei zudem der Kustos im Heiligen Land, Francesco Ielpo, gewesen. Der Franziskaner ist der oberste Wächter der Heiligen Stätten, einschließlich der Grabeskirche. Das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem bezeichnete den Vorfall als „schwerwiegenden Präzedenzfall“.
Israeli police prevented two of the most senior Catholic leaders in the Holy Land - Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem, and Father Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land - from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. Lpj.org announced that they were stopped while walking to the church, where they were scheduled to celebrate the Eucharist on Palm Sunday. They were required to turn back, despite not participating in any public gathering. As a result, the church leaders were unable to preside over the Palm Sunday liturgy. This is unprecedented in modern times. The Latin Patriarchate added they had complied with all restrictions imposed since the outbreak of the ongoing conflict, including canceling public gatherings and arranging for services to be broadcast to the faithful worldwide. They characterized the decision to block access as “unreasonable” and “disproportionate”. #newsTjnhyvbccs
Canada is MURDERING people. A January 2026 report by the Ontario Medical Assistance in Dying Death Review Committee (MDRC) highlighted a case where a Canadian woman in her 80s, referred to as Mrs. B, was euthanized despite expressing a desire to live and withdrawing her consent. She requested palliative care instead of euthanasia, but this was denied before her death.
