“Encounter” (Encontro) is a white-marble sculpture by Portuguese architect and artist Álvaro Siza Vieira, unveiled in the Vatican Gardens on September 24. The anthropomorphic work depicts a slender, stylized figure positioned near an olive tree and facing the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was previously displayed as part of the Holy See Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale. At the unveiling, Vatican Governor Sister Raffaella Petrini described it as an encounter between art, the Pope’s gardens, and the community. Open to individual interpretation, the sculpture is intended to evoke care for our “Common Home,” fraternity, peace, and a “culture of encounter.”
New sculpture installed in Vatican gardens: My first associations are a giant outdoor Wi-Fi router, a solar-powered parking meter, a minimalist surveillance camera, a patio table growing out of a bollard, or an unfinished Starlink terminal for the Vatican.

Genealogists have uncovered a hidden chapter in Pope Leo XIV’s family history. His French grandmother, Suzanne Fontaine, became pregnant amid an adultery involving married Sicilian language teacher Salvatore Riggitano. She fled from France in 1917 and gave birth in a Catholic mother and baby home near the US-Canada border. Records from the birth show the family using assumed names, including Prevost. Riggitano later appears to have led a double life for years, while “Prevost” endured as the family name eventually inherited by the future pope.
Fleeing scandal, a 23-year-old gave birth in a Catholic mother and baby home in 1917. The surname she chose for her baby, ‘Prevost’, endured down the decades, becoming the name of her grandson, Pope Leo XIV.
Can't get much lower in trying to trash someones reputation! (Dispicable trashy article) According to this "scandal" That would make Pope Leo a miracle baby.
These father and son, Fr. Peter and Fr. Andrew Infanger, are both Catholic priests in the United States. After his wife’s death, Fr.

Leo XIV rejected assisted dying at Lourdes, warning against “false compassion” and declaring that “what is legal is not necessarily moral.” Pope Leo XIV on Sunday strongly rejected euthanasia while addressing sick and disabled people and healthcare workers at the Sanctuary of Lourdes, France. Speaking at the Accueil Notre-Dame, Leo XIV said the human person is “worthy” simply by virtue of existing and that human dignity “cannot be measured or debated.” “No human law should ever make you lose the certainty of your dignity,” he said. He continued: “We must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion.” Leo XIV added: “It is impossible to regard causing death as something normal. What is legal is not necessarily moral.” Turning directly to healthcare workers, he said their vocation is “to care for a suffering person, not to eliminate that person.” The Pope also repeated a warning he made in June that medicine must never become “the servant of programmed death,”…Ibindi
A beautiful lie... When you mix the truth with something that you wanted to be true but it's not, you get a beautiful lie. True, the Catholic Church has the fullness of the Truth, false the other religion had the truth (Jewish), but rejected its peak in Christ, the other "religions" if we ever want to call something that push souls stray as a true one, all of them with NO exception, calls Jesus a prophet but won’t adhere to His teachings in any way, therefore they are false. A beautiful lie ONLY numbs or disarms your spiritual defenses so you could become food for hell, the silly... but "refreshing idea", that all religions could join hand in hand, even with "atheists who do good", is not just a sugar high or some sort of Woodstock moment, it is a delivertly crafted manuver from hell to ruin souls. There is NO doubt whatsoever that Divine Mercy CAN be given to souls who never have heard the gospel, souls who have lived their lives doing their very best to honor Almighty Father, as it …Ibindi
A 2026 study found an interesting link between siblings and teen mental health. Researchers looked at data from 16,725 teenagers in rural China from 2010 to 2022. Teens with more siblings were less likely to show signs of depression, with an even stronger effect among younger teens. Each additional sibling was linked to a 1.7–1.8 percentage-point lower probability of depression.

Woman Distributes Communion at Leo XIV’s Eucharist — One Communicant Bare-Chested During the Eucharist celebrated by Leo XIV this evening at the Port of Rimini, a woman was spreading Communion in the hand as if it were cookies. One male attendee even received Communion bare-chested, without a shirt.
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 …Ibindi

‘HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; Chapters XVII; pp. 48-52; part II [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] I am sensible of all these things I have described as it were by sight and touch, but I cannot find fitting words to express myself as I could wish. I have said what I have, because I was conscious of its going on spiritually within me. The prison in which I fancy myself shut up is the world ; the chain by which I am held is the body ; the soul enlightened is she who, knowing well the grievousness of being detained and kept back by any hindrance from reaching her end, suffers thereby great pain, inasmuch as she is very tender. God, by His grace, bestows upon her a dignity which makes her like God, and not only like God, but even one with Him through participating in His goodness ; and as it is impossible that God …Ibindi
" The man who would sooner die than offend God, feels death and the pain of dying ; but the sight of God supplies him with a zeal which makes him think more of the Divine honour than bodily death. In like manner, a soul knowing what God has appointed for it thinks more of the appointment than any outward or inward pain, no matter how dreadful ; and this be cause God, the Author of it, surpasses everything that can be thought of or imagined."
"...the soul remains in suffering great in proportion to its appreciation of God. This appreciation of God grows with its knowledge of God ; and its knowledge is greater the more it is free from sin : and the delay becomes more and more terrible, because the soul wholly immersed in God, knows Him without error, there being no thing in the way to prevent such knowledge."
Question: Based on all going issues since Benedict XVI resigned from ministerium and not from munus, how one can consider Bergoglio and Prevost were/are true popes? Canon 332 §2 of the 1983 Code states plainly: Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestetur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptetur. "If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his munus, it is required for validity that the resignation be freely made and properly manifested, but it is not necessary that it be accepted by anyone." The canon uses munus — not ministerium, not officium, not any other term. Munus in the canonical tradition carries the weight of the office itself: the ontological reality, the gift-and-burden of the Petrine charge, not merely its active exercise. On February 11, 2013, Benedict XVI declared in Latin: ...declaro me ministerio Episcopi Romae, Successoris Sancti Petri, mihi per manus Cardinalium die 19 aprilis MMV …Ibindi
