Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.

Mga kalamidad, pagsubok nga ba sa pananampalataya ng mga Pinoy? Ang Pagsubok hindi tinatakasan bagamat hinaharap ng may kababaang loob at matibay na pananampalataya sa Diyos!

Many dioceses across Europe, North America, and Asia have seen significant increases in Catholic baptisms and conversions this Easter. The strange thing is that anti-Catholic media including New York Times, Washington Post or CNN advertised this trend. The most significant increase was reported in France, where 21,386 catechumens were baptized during the Easter Vigil. The total included more than 13,000 adults and over 8,000 adolescents, marking the highest figure ever recorded in the country. Outside Europe, large numbers were also reported in parts of Asia. In Hong Kong, approximately 2,500 catechumens were baptized, while Singapore reported 1,089 catechumens entering the Church. In North America, several major dioceses published substantial baptism figures. The Archdiocese of Toronto reported 1,584 catechumens, while Vancouver recorded around 650 catechumens. In the United States, diocesan figures included approximately 900 catechumens in Richmond (Virginia), more than 680 in …Higit pa

"Pinayagan" ng Vatican ang pag-alis ng matris (hysterectomy) kahit pa magdadala ito ng "kusang pagpapalaglag" sa isang estado ng biglaang pagbubuntis. Isang dokumento noong Enero 3 ng Kongregasyon para sa Doktrina ng Pananampalataya ang nagsabing sa ganitong kaso ang hysterectomy ay hindi isang isterilisasyon. Ngunit nag-iwan ito ng nakabukas na tanong, kung bakit ang isang hysterectomy ay dapat isagawa. Ang kusang pagpapalaglag ay hindi nagpapahiwatig ng isang panganib para sa buhay o kalusugan ng ina. Ang "Catholic Sat" na isang dalubhasa sa pagpapaanak, ay tinukoy sa Twitter na ang dokumento ay tungkol sa mga ina na maaaring magbuntis ngunit hindi magagawang matapos ang pagbubuntis. Ang mga ito ay hindi baog ngunit ginagawa lamang baog ng hysterectomy. Samakatuwid, ang layunin ng pamamaraan, na "pinapayagan" ng Vatican, ay upang pigilan ang isang pagbubuntis. Ito ay isang direktang isterilisasyon na hindi moral na katanggap-tanggap. Mas masahol pa dito, ang pagsusulat ng Kongregasyon …Higit pa
IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DIVIDED? (and is Division so Bad?) fr.williamnicholas Fr. Bill addresses divisions within the Catholic Church - why some divisions can be bad, and why some are good for the Church as a whole. Given that Jesus appointed 12 Apostles instead of just 1, could this be what Jesus intended for a Church that is meant to spread throughout the world?
Following government directives, public Easter services in Dubai have been cancelled since Good Friday. The regime's excuse is that tensions in the Middle East are escalating. Dubai has two Catholic parishes - Saint Mary's and Saint Francis of Assisi in Jebel Ali. Both have confirmed the closures on their websites and will remain closed "until further notice". Saint Mary’s Church is one of the largest Catholic parishes in the world, with around 30,000 members, many of whom are Filipino workers. On Good Friday, many Catholics who had not been informed of the closure were seen praying outside on the pavement instead. Easter liturgies were only being streamed online. Bishop Paolo Martinelli, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia, acknowledged worshippers' disappointment at missing Holy Week celebrations. #newsAfvbsxvwah

Ang Vaticanistang si Edward Pentin ay sinabi na sa kalahatian ng unang Sinodo sa Pamilya, "nang nagiging malinaw na, na ang mga heterodox agenda ay itinutuloy sa mapaniil at mapanlinlang na paraan, isang mahusay at iginagalang na estudyante ng Simbahan ang humila sa akin sa gilid ng isang pagtitipon na may mukhang nasasaktan." Ayon kay Pentin sinabi niya, "Siyempre, napagtanto mo na ang lahat ng ito ay tungkol sa Humanae Vitae". At, "Iyon ang naisip kong nais nila. Iyon ang kanilang layunin". Ang Humanae Vitae ay liham ni Paul VI (1968), kung saan tinatanggihan ang artipisyal na contraception. #newsUbeienmtlk
White privilege doesn't exist coming from a white privileged person! LOL! Oh and I guess the fact that slavery and white privilege, which are in the blood of the US, suddenly goes away with affirmative action.
Imagine this. You’re a Palestinian running a small shop in the West Bank. Then they arrive: Israeli settlers, masked, storm in and destroy everything. If you dare to resist,you’re taken by the IDF and your life is finished.

And isn't this the same apostate who wishes Muslims a Happy Ramadan? And who congratulates an Anglican heretic? And who allows himself to be subjected to the incantations of shamans? All while brazenly presenting himself as the pope of all false religions—and, moreover, demanding to be recognized as Pope.
Facial expressions and body language are more revealing than the spin doctors’ narratives. Have you ever seen Trump like this before? US fighter jets shot down, oil prices skyrocketing, no support from NATO countries, allies pulling away... He didn’t see this coming.
