French traditional Catholics managed to hand a letter to Pope Leo XIV. Yesterday evening, on the sidelines of the vigil at the Stade de France, an alternative prayer vigil was held outside the Apostolic Nunciature, asking Pope Leo XIV to allow greater access to the sacraments and Mass in the traditional rite. According to BVoltaire.fr, Catholics greeted Pope Leo XIV upon his arrival at the Nunciature in Paris and handed him a letter. One Catholic said: “We want to let the Pope know that there is in France a large, very dynamic traditional community.” Another added: “We would like to have more churches and resources to celebrate the traditional Mass.”

Cardinal Tobin has “paused” the Latin Mass in New Jersey "until further notice." The Mass in the Roman rite in Hackensack, New Jersey, has been “paused until further notice” at the request of Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark. The development concerns Holy Trinity Catholic Church, where a weekly Sunday Mass at 12:30 p.m. began in February 2026. Parish priest Thomas Quinn announced the "pause" in the bulletin on September 20. “This year we were happy to begin offering the Traditional Latin Mass on Sundays at 12:30, adding to the richness of the many charisms of our parish,” Rev. Quinn wrote. He said the community had benefited from the Mass, including by welcoming new members and deepening parish liturgical life. But Rev. Quinn also revealed that the Archdiocese of Newark is reviewing “how and where the traditional Mass is celebrated.” “Cardinal Tobin has asked me to meet with him regarding the future of the Mass here at Holy Trinity,” he wrote. “Until that time, he has asked …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Homosexual billionaire Peter Thiel attacked Leo XIV over AI, calling him a “useful idiot” for the Chinese Communist Party. His argument: the US and China are locked in an AI race. China is unlikely to heed Western calls to slow AI development, while Americans might. So if Leo XIV’s warnings lead the West to put the brakes on AI while China presses ahead, Thiel argues, the result would be to strengthen China. “The Communist Party of China is not going to listen to the Pope,” Thiel told Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner on September 24. “There’s a chance people in the U.S. will.” Thiel went further: “In effect, the Pope’s encyclical was working for the Communist Party. I’m not saying he was an agent of the Communists, but he was at least acting as a useful idiot for the CCP.”
Peter Thiel: “The pope recently issued this AI encyclical, or I would characterize it as an anti-AI encyclical. “And again, maybe it was too harsh, but the rhetorical point I have on it is that the Communist Party of China is not going to listen to the pope. “There’s a chance people in the U.S. will. And so, in effect, the pope’s encyclical was working for the Communist Party. “I’m not saying he was an agent of the Communists, but he was at least acting as a useful idiot for the CCP.”
There once was a young deer with a magnificent set of antlers. They were wide, perfectly shaped, and more impressive than any he had ever seen on another animal. He was enormously proud of them. Whenever he passed wild goats with their short, crooked horns, he laughed to himself. When he came across wild boars, who had no antlers at all and only curved tusks, he would snort with contempt and turn away. In his mind, none of them could compare with him. There was only one thing about himself he hated: his legs. They looked too thin and awkward to him. He thought they were plain, almost ugly. He never admitted this to anyone, but every time he looked down at them, he wished they were different. Then one summer, a wildfire broke out in the forest. Smoke filled the air, flames moved quickly through the brush, and every animal ran for its life. The deer took off with the others, and for the first time he truly understood the value of those legs he had always disliked. They were incredibly …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

Leo XIV mourns victims of the French Revolution a day after praising its principles. Today, Pope Leo XIV paused in silent reflection before the Staircase of the Martyrs at the former Carmelite convent in Paris. Here, on 2 September 1792, priests and religious imprisoned for refusing the revolutionary oath were led into the garden and slaughtered during the September Massacres. Only yesterday, addressing France’s secular authorities at the Élysée, Leo XIV praised the Enlightenment’s advances and called the French Revolution’s famous motto, “liberty, equality and fraternity,” universal ethical imperatives.
