Not making + Shevchuk a Cardinal was such a petty slight by Francis. I’m hopeful that Leo corrects that in his first batch of Cardinals. (While he’s at it, he should recognize him as a full Patriarch.)

Listen to the cheers as Pope Leo XIV greets the patriarchs and leaders of the Eastern Catholic Churches, particularly Ukrainian Major Archbishop Shevchuk. Pope Leo’s motto: “In the One, we are one.” https://t.co/Et2v7AQ4ys

I’m convinced the TLM is the natural state of things in the Latin Church. By that, I mean that if left alone, it will naturally become the dominant rite again, as it most fully expresses Latin theology and piety. That’s why a pope that doesn’t persecute it would be a huge win.

A perfect example of the fact that most “Bible Christians” don’t know their Bibles. Colossians 1:24 makes clear that we should offer sacrifices in union with Christ for the salvation of souls. But b/c that verse isn’t a highlighted one in most Protestant Bibles, it’s unknown.

This is proof that the Fatima apparition was a demon. Mary would not countermand Jesus’s sacrifice. There is only one sacrifice that saves, and the work that Jesus accomplished is finished. If you reject Jesus, no other sacrifice remains. No one can get you into heaven if you

We’ll know we’re fully back when the pope’s Latin account is his only account on X.

Pax vobiscum omnibus! Haec prima salutatio est Christi, Boni Pastoris, post Resurrectionem. Ipse salutatio haec velim cor vestrum ingrediatur et familias vestra omnesque homines, ubicumque sint, cunctosque populos et universum terrarum orbem attingat.

Like clockwork, Trump’s mild criticism of the War Machine’s support for Israel leads to accusations of antisemitism in the Administration. It’s the same playbook every time. https://t.co/3BA2TeSOln

There is never an actual need for “Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.” The ordinary ministers can handle it just fine, no matter the situation—and if they can’t (like a stadium Mass), Communion doesn’t have to be distributed to the Faithful.

@EricRSammons Christ’s ribs are by far the best part of the Eucharist.

Pontifex is back!

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex

Peace be with you all! This is the first greeting spoken by the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, and among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world.

If world leaders had listened to popes for the past 120 years about the horrors of war and the need for peace, the world would be a far better place today.

"War is never inevitable. Weapons can and must be silenced," Pope Leo XIV said in a meeting with Eastern Catholics -- many of whom come from regions suffering from conflict. "Who, better than you, can sing a song of hope even amid the abyss of violence?" https://t.co/8RmgiTVs1m

Perhaps the most dramatic change made to the Mass after Vatican II was the stripping away of the *mystery* of the rite. In the rush to make it intelligible to modern man, it was forgotten that the liturgy is not meant to be completely understood, but instead entered into.

Dave Ramsey can help people deep in debt, but he doesn’t actually understand money. In 2014, when bitcoin was $550, he said of bitcoiners: “You’re stupid, you’re gonna lose your money.” Bitcoin is over $100k now. https://t.co/7ouR4TBUmF

People are speculating that Bishop Barron might receive the red hat under Pope Leo, but I think this photo of him in a different kind of hat should squash that rumor. 🤣 https://t.co/5XVNJJKQqV
