04/21/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. First, a brief comparison. In history class, we learned about a Mongol ruler from the turn of the 12th to the 13th century: the ruthless conqueror of half the world, Genghis Khan. His wars claimed the lives of 40 million people at the time—that is 11.11% of the entire known world population. Today I asked “Google Intelligence” the following question: How did Genghis Khan treat envoys? The answer surprised me greatly: Genghis Khan treated envoys with the utmost respect, and their protection was a fundamental principle of Mongol law and strategy. The most important aspects of this topic are listed below: Absolute inviolability: The killing of an envoy (ambassador) was considered one of the gravest acts of hostility, which typically led to merciless revenge and the complete destruction of the state that had committed such an act; The Jam System (Jaam): Genghis Khan established an efficient courier system (Jam) that enabled messengers to travel …

During his flight to Equatorial Guinea, Pope Leo XIV responded to questions regarding a potential future consistory. “That is a question that many people want to ask,” he said. He then made it clear that no decision had yet been taken on the timing of a new consistory. "We need to consider the matter from a broader global perspective," he added, also suggesting that the African continent is being given attention.
Today, Leo XIV commented on the possibility of the next consistory and the creation of new cardinals: 'No decision has yet been made on when new cardinals will be created. We need to consider the issue from a global perspective. We hope that, in the near future — or perhaps a little further down the line — the appointment of a new cardinal for Angola can be considered, and that this will be the case for Africa, and perhaps even for Angola.”

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, Germany, has instructed priests and pastoral staff to perform "blessings" for homosexual couples and adulterers. A spokesperson confirmed to Die-Tagespost.de on 21 April that all pastoral practice should adhere to the German bishops' guideline, Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft ('Blessing Gives Love Strength'). This guideline is set to become a fundamental element of pastoral work across the Archdiocese of Munich. Training sessions for pastoral staff on how to conduct these "blessing ceremonies" are scheduled to begin in June. No couple seeking a blessing should be turned away. Priests who reject such "blessings" are expected to refer couples to either their dean or other pastoral workers willing to perform them. Furthermore, Cardinal Marx has urged that the "theological meaning" of the guideline be explained, particularly to those who may "still" struggle with the concept of such "blessings". Blessings for same-sex couples are already common practice in …More
The oldest prayer from the Apostles that miraculously still exists… Three years after the crucifiction, St Thomas sent Thaddeus to Edessa. Thaddeus not only brought the word, he brought the oldest Anaphora. This was a Eucharistic Prayer *from Jerusalem* which was prayed by the *Apostles themselves*. This prayer was kept alive in the Assyro-Chaldean churches, which are slowly going extinct. A prayer from the time of Christ. Not a few centuries later. Saving ancient Christianity = saving the prayers & treasures of the Apostles.
In an interview with The Good Newsroom, Archbishop Hicks of New York reflects on the first time he met Pope Francis, and how the Pope had a way of making personal connections.

Mr. Nobody @MmisterNobody Farmers across the country are scratching their heads, and not just from bug bites. They're finding boxes packed full of ticks dumped in their fields. Just sitting there. Full of ticks. In a box. Interesting timing, considering Pfizer just announced it's about to release a Lyme disease vaccine. What makes this one different from your average vaccine? It actually does its job inside the tick. From epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina "It trains your body to make antibodies, and when a tick bites you and drinks your blood, it also drinks those antibodies, which then kill the bacteria right inside the tick's gut, before it ever reaches you." In other words, the tick bites you, has a bad time, and you walk away fine. So to summarize : mysterious boxes of ticks are appearing in farm fields, and the company that benefits most from a Lyme disease outbreak just happens to have a Lyme disease vaccine ready to go.
Several anonymous cardinals and curial officials told the Substack.com account The Pillar on April 17 that they do not expect any resolution to the question of the Mass in the Roman rite in the near future. Some Catholics had hoped the next extraordinary consistory of cardinals on June 26–27 would address the liturgical issue. Instead, Leo XIV chose to focus on Francis' document Evangelii Gaudium. One Vatican official said that Leo XIV was not very familiar with traditional communities or even the traditional liturgy, and that his primary concern was not liturgy but whether members of those communities accept the Second Vatican Council. As early as June 2025, the best friend of Leo XIV, Alejandro Moral, Prior General of the Augustinians, had already ruled out any return of the older form of the Mass under his pontificate. #newsVdgrmnvwkv
Paul VI killed the Old Mass; JP II gave it a tiny life; Benedict opened it up greatly, saying it had never really been officially done away with; Francis tried to kill it; Leo seems happy with Francis's decision. Zigzag, zigzag, what is the layman to think? "Officer, the light was green when I went through it." "Well, it's red now and you are in trouble." Why should the laity respect the governance of the Church?
On the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ death, Pope Leo XIV remembered him as a leader who gave greatly to the Church through his life, words, and actions.“I would like to remember, on this first anniversary of his death, Pope Francis, who gave so much to the church with his life, his testimony, his words, and his gestures,” Pope Leo said. He recalled how Pope Francis truly lived with “closeness to the poorest, the little ones, the sick, the children, the elderly.”
That's right, he gave so much, so much confusion, chaos, sin, destruction of faith and souls. So much, that Prevost continues to do the same, but he packages it better than Bergoglio
Lev XIV. považuje Františka za "veľký dar": Počas dnešného letu z Angoly do Rovníkovej Guiney si pápež Lev XIV. pripomenul pamiatku svojho predchodcu Františka, ktorý zomrel 21. apríla minulého roka. Lev XIV. povedal, že František svojimi slovami a činmi dal veľmi veľa. "Podporoval autentickú úctu ku všetkým mužom a ženám a učil nás, že všetci sme bratia a sestry," povedal Lev XIV. a dodal: "Ďakujeme Pánovi za veľký dar Františkovho života pre Cirkev a celý svet."
21.04.2026 WHEN THE SSPX SAYS VATICAN COUNCIL II HAS THE HERMENEUTIC OF DISCONTINUITY AND CARD. MULLER SAYS IT HAS A CONTINUITY THEY ARE VAGUE : WE CAN NOW BE SPECIFIC When we refer to the hermeneutic of continuity or discontinuity, it is important to refer to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS)with exceptions or without exceptions. Since if Lumen Gentium 8, 14, 16 etc refer to visible cases then there is a discontinuity, with the dogma EENS of the Council of Florence 1442 etc, which did not mention any exceptions. But if LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to invisible cases there is a hermeneutic of continuity with EENS. Similarly with reference to Tradition, we must ask, do we affirm an Athanasius Creed which has exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II or no exceptions mentioned in the Council-text. So when the SSPX says Vatican Council II has the hermeneutic of discontinuity and Cardinal Muller says it has one of continuity, this is vague. They must be specific. …More
On today's first anniversary of Francis's death, the homosexual activist James Martin SJ shared a memory from 2024. At the time, Francis had made some negative remarks about homosexual priests using the Italian slur "frociaggine" (faggotry) in a meeting with Italian bishops. A few weeks later, Francis received Fr Martin and discussed the expression. Francis said then that he knew "many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians". When Fr Martin suggested proclaiming this publicly, Francis replied, "Oh, but I think I have. And in any event, you can say that!" According to Fr Martin, Francis asked back: "So you're saying that I can say you know many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians?" Francis shrugged and said, "Of course. Because I do!" [In reality, the Church has suffered from many unholy, unfaithful, sexually active gay priests.] A few days later, during an audience with comedians, Fr Martin greeted Francis again. The Pope said, "Thank you for our meeting …More
Kat A @SaiKate108 The Irish people are waking up and there’s no turning back!! Ivor Cummins says they now see it’s about so much more than fuel - it’s about the Epstein class ruling over them. Even the media which is usually a Government mouthpiece has turned on them over their sinister attempt to review and censor coverage of the protests. A powerful testament to what happens when people finally stand together.
Bill Gates says the merging of biometric digital ID, bank accounts and payment systems is needed to safely monitor people's health records, keeping tabs on farmers, and tackling "climate problems."

"The New Testament is NOT the word of God' UCC "Bishopessa" says we need a 'Third Testament' because the first two are 'problematic,' and contain bad theology. As a result, "we need to pull those pages out"
Holy office suppose to help with organic changes to make things clearer but when the freemasons under the cover of darkness hijack Bishops we get the great Apostasy . At least she not Luke warm Lord Jesus help
