Leo XIV appoints a Jesuit - who defended homosexual "marriage" already in 2008 (!). Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit Fr. Giacomo Costa and Salesian Sr. Elena Massimi as undersecretaries of the General Secretariat of the Synod for five-year terms. Costa replaces Spanish Augustinian Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín, appointed Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity in March. Sister Massimi succeeds French Sr. Nathalie Becquart, who had served as undersecretary since February 2021. Cardinal Mario Grech remains Secretary General. Costa defended homosexual “marriages” Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ's involvement in debates over the homosexual civil unions dates back to at least 2008. He was one of seven members of the bioethics study group credited with a June 2008 article in the Jesuit journal Aggiornamenti Sociali, titled “Recognizing Same-Sex Unions? A Contribution to the Discussion”. Costa was then managing editor of the journal. The study argued that legal recognition of …Bontsi

Clandestine @WarClandestine Who are the big Democrat candidates dominating the airwaves? Ilhan, Mamdani, and El-Sayed. What do they have in common? They are all connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is not a new problem. The Democrat Party has been compromised by the Muslim Brotherhood for quite some time. Where’s Huma? Who’s she married to? Soros? What did they really find on Weiner’s laptop? Huma was not Hillary’s aide, she was Hillary’s handler. Hillary is just a puppet, operating on behalf of the foreign adversaries who control her and the rest of the Democrat Party.
Algerian Cardinal doubles down: "We have better things to do than to convert". Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers has responded to Bishop Robert Barron’s correction of his statement that the Catholic Church is “not there to convert” people. Instead of withdrawing his statement, Cardinal Vesco reaffirmed his position. In a Facebook post on October 30, Vesco admitted that “the Church that gives life to me is the Church of Saint John Paul II and the interreligious declaration of Assisi (1986)". The Cardinal believes in "the Church of Pope Francis, with the Abu Dhabi Declaration on Human Fraternity, signed with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on February 4, 2019; and the Church of Pope Leo, with his visit to Algeria and his silent prayer at the Great Mosque of Algiers, shoulder to shoulder with the rector." Furthermore, Cardinal Vesco repeated his position on conversion: “Yes, I believe that the believers of the three monotheistic religions have better things to do than to seek to convert one …Bontsi

Trump's diesel deal with Putin before the midterm elections Lawmakers from both parties are warning of penalties. Jamie Raskin accuses Trump of circumventing the law to finance Putin's war. As I mentioned before Trump and Putin are working together. And then the MADMAN PUTIN the warmonger blamed Zelenskyy for problems faced by American farmers and transportation companies! As if Zelensky started the war?
Leo XIV met Costa Rica’s president, gloriously veiled - or, as some might say, "divisively" so. Pope Leo XIV received Costa Rica’s Catholic President Laura Fernández Delgado in an audience on October 29. She presented Pope Leo XIV with a replica of Our Lady of the Angels, Costa Rica’s patroness. Two days earlier, on October 27, Cardinal Roche’s dicastery had warned that women wearing veils at Mass risk creating division and confusion within the Church. Costa Rica's right-wing president began her presidency with a public profession of faith. On May 9, 2026, one day after taking office, she attended Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago. #newsHlivqetqqc
Prevost theology just read Martini Theological soup we are now experiencing from obedient Vatican II disciple Cardinal Martini. In 1996, Martini was presented with an honorary doctorate from the Russian Academy of Sciences. In Spain in October 2000, he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences.[7] Martini was admitted as a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in November 2000. Homosexuality In his book Credere e conoscere, published shortly before his death, Martini stated: "I disagree with the positions of those in the Church that take issue with civil unions ... It is not bad, instead of casual sex between men, that two people have a certain stability" and that the "state could recognize them". Although he stated his belief that "the homosexual couple, as such, can never be totally equated to a marriage", he also said that he could understand (although not necessarily approve of) gay pride parades when they support the need for self-affirmation
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy says the new plan for attacking Iran is catastrophic: “During one of the intelligence briefings, we had the opportunity to have a fairly detailed discussion about the war plan, and no doubt you have heard that it will be short-term. I will just say this: their plan is insane, and it will lead to a catastrophic escalation, and perhaps to undermining our commitment to the rule of law. The civilian infrastructure that we might target will prolong and escalate the war, which will have devastating consequences for our security interests.” megatron_ron
Everything we have been told about the war is a lie. The only truth is that innocent people are killed and the super rich and powerful are profiting from the suffering, destruction and violence.
Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández will not accompany Pope Leo XIV on his upcoming visit to South America, including Fernández’s native Argentina. In an interview with Vida Nueva on October 29, Fernández explained that he would prefer not to go because the trip is too long and he has pressing matters to attend to. He gave the lame excuse that he dislikes being away from work for more than five days and plans to visit Argentina separately shortly afterward. Curiously, Fernández stressed that the central figure of the visit would be “not even Pope Francis, but Pope Leo meeting with his people.” Fernández also revealed that he had met with Leo XIV in a private audience on October 29. He reported that the Pope was in “excellent shape” following his cancer surgery and said he left the meeting completely reassured about his health, confident that “we can continue to look forward to a long pontificate.” He added that Leo was “redoubling his initiative” in addressing challenges. Meanwhile, …Bontsi
NEWS SHORTS-PUTIN IS A MADMAN! Putin’s Ceasefire Demands for Ukraine and Europe These are nothing short of outrageous: Putin said that Russia will cease hostilities only if NATO withdraws its forces, weaponry, and military infrastructure from Eastern Europe, returning its military presence to the state it was in as of 1997. Every nation east of Germany has to leave NATO. [Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Repub, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, N. Macedonia, Bulgaria.] That’s not going to happen. Putin is also demanding the complete withdrawal of NATO troops and assets from Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland; A halt to the deployment of new bases, missile defense systems, and offensive weaponry in these countries; And written guarantees from NATO member states that the Alliance will not expand further to the east.
