The traditional shoemaker to the Popes presented Leo XIV with two pairs of white shoes on August 29, writes RomeReports.com. However, Leo XIV did not accept them, insisting that he only wanted black shoes. The shoemaker returned to work and recently delivered a new pair in black. Adriano Stefanelli, an Italian craftsman, has made the papal shoes from John Paul II to today’s Pope Leo XIV. It all began with John Paul II after he fell ill briefly during a Via Crucis. Stefanelli decided that the best way he could help was to make him a pair of shoes. He says his quality never changes, even for popes: only the finest materials are used. It is the small details that vary. John Paul II wanted rubber half-soles, Benedict XVI preferred all leather, and Francis wore embroidered slippers with a symbolic design. For Leo XIV, Stefanelli followed Benedict's model — in black. #newsBqncvgecak

Vatican employees are “demotivated, tired of their complicated relationship with curial leadership, and often even bullied”. This is the result of the first representative survey conducted among Vatican staff. The poll was carried out between 15 September and 7 January and drew responses from 250 employees, 80% of them members of the ADLV, an internal association similar to a union. Trade unions are not formally recognized in the Vatican. The Holy See employs about 4,200 people, most of whom are not members of the ADLV, reportedly for fear of internal repercussions. The survey paints a bleak picture of working conditions under Pope Francis, described as marked by “extremely high points of friction.” The arrival of Pope Leo XIV has raised cautious hopes, notably after he restored the conclave bonus that Francis had abolished. Key findings underline widespread discontent: - 75.9% say human resources are poorly placed, valued, and motivated. - 73.9% perceive a disconnect between workers …Higit pa

Isinulat ni Cristina Siccardi sa Corrispondenza Romana ang tungkol sa Italyanong Pari na si Lorenzo Milani (+1967), kung saan nagsagawa si Papa Francis ng pribadong pagbisitasa kanyang libingan at tinawag si Milani na "isang ulirang lingkod ng Ebanghelyo", "Pinapasalamatan ko ang Panginoon sa pagbibigay sa atin ng pari gaya ni Padre Milani". Si Milani ay nasangkot sa mga eksperimento sa paaralan, kung saan ang paaralan ay nakita bilang pantubos sa mahihirap at hindi bilang kompesyunaryong lugar. Kung kaya ang mga simbolo ng Kristiyano at sagradong imahe ay kailangang tanggalin at ang krus ay maaaring lehitimong alisin sa mga silid-aralan. Ang kanyang Lettera a una professoressa ("Letter To a Schoolmistress") at naging manipesto sa protesta ng mga estudyanteng Komunista noong 1986 ay umambag sa bigong pagbabago ng paaralan sa Italya. Noong 1954 si Milani ay inilipat sa may 100 kataong parokya sa Barbania, isinulat niya sa kanyang ina na "halata na sa lahat, na ako ay nakulong dito …Higit pa
Pascal mocks the absurdity of a situation in which morality depends on the subjective choice of an opinion rather than on objective truth. He emphasizes that such an approach leads to ethical chaos. Today we observe not merely a tendency but a rule of applying moral relativism or “yielding to the spirit of the age.” For example, in discussions about accepting social changes, approaches to LGBT persons in the Church, one can see an echo of that flexibility which Pascal denounced. It is a natural consequence that probabilism has evolved into a more general attitude of adapting doctrine to contemporary expectations. It should be noted here that unfortunately contemporary courts have also moved in this direction, and verdicts very often have little to do with justice.
Os Justi Press have released their first book for 2026, Dominic J. Grigio’s ‘The Disastrous Pontificate: Pope Francis’ Rupture from the Magisterium.’ At over 870 pages, Peter Kwasniewski describes it as the definitive, encyclopedic guide to the heresies and destructive actions of Pope Francis and his collaborators. He explains that Dominic J. Grigio is the pen-name of a cleric in good standing with the Church who cannot reveal his identity for fear of reprisals against himself and his diocese. It has been strongly endorsed by eminent Catholic philosophers and theologians, including: Rev. Gerald E. Murray, Edward Feser, Eduardo Echeverria, Philip F. Lawler, John Rist, Michael Sirilla, Claudio Pierantoni, and Josef Seifert. Dominic J. Grigio has given his first interview to Gloria.TV Why did you publish your book under a pen-name? My natural preference is for my name to be out in the open, to openly stand by my published work, particularly when I’m writing about such a topic. However,…Higit pa
