"Fun Church" in Holy Week: Fr. Simon Teller, O.P., published a video on March 29 about the different ways people use palms on Palm Sunday. The examples include the deconstructionist, the artist, the hoarder, the tickler, the sword fighter, and the panda mode. Fr. Teller is a chaplain at Providence College in the United States.
Disgraceful, the Church's ministers making a mockery of Her sacred Liturgy during the very week in which we commemorate Our Blessed Lord's betrayal, suffering and death. After the reading of the Passion -- which is certainly enough to move one to tears -- they have the heart to do comedy.....???!

Taasisi Ya Upapa ya Ndoa na Familia, ya Roma, iliyoanzishwa na John Paul II kulinda kutoangamizwa kwa ndoa za Kikristo na kupigana na uavyaji, imefutiliwa mbali katika hali yake ya sasa na Papa Francis kupitia kwa barua yake ya hivi maajuzi al maarufu motu propio. Taasisi hiyo sasa itakuwa ikiitwa "John Paul II Pontifical Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences". Taasisi hiyo ilikumbwa na adhabu ya Francis kwa sababu ya ilivyolinda mafundisho ya Kikatoliki wakati wa Sinodi la Familia, ingawaje Francis aliitenga taasisi hiyo na kazi za Sinodi hilo. Sasa, Francis angetaka taasisi hiyo ieneze nakala yake tatanishi ya Amoris Laetitia ambayo hupuuza kutoangamizwa kwa ndoa za Kikristo. Pia jambo hili limechukuliwa kama pigo kuu dhidi ya John Paul II. Kulingana na mpango usioeleweka vyema, motu propio haswa inafutilia mbali mafundisho ya Kikatoliki na kazi ya uchungaji kama "utaratibu na mifumo ya kale", kisingizio cha kawaida cha kutupilia mbali nafasi ya wapinzani bila kutoa …Zaidi
Mikhail is describing blind obedience. I suppose if you have not the gift of faith you might mistake it as blind obedience. It is not blind at all. Faith allows you to recognise truth.
Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israeli authorities to grant Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusal “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He reversed an earlier decision after Israeli police blocked the Cardinal and few other priests from entering the holy site during Palm Sunday celebrations. The disproportionate restriction triggered strong international criticism from political leaders. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog personally apologized to the Cardinal following the incident. The video below shows the empty, silent streets of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, devoid of the procession, olive and palm branches, and the cheers of the faithful. #newsOnyraezrlx
The streets are void the article says. Hmm, no processions, no faithful equals no tourism. No tourism equals no money. Hotels, restaurants, shops, all are empty.
Blogu la Marco Tossatti (Februari 27) limeeleza sababu ya fedha za Vatikana kuwa katika hali ya utata: "Kwa sababu Francis hatii bidii katika kuelewa na kukagua shida; yeye husikiliza, hutoa amri kadhaa na kuondoka. Kisha, anaposoma kwenye magazeti kuhusu kashfa zifuatazo kutokana na hili, hukasirika." Nakala hii imeorodhesha kutofaulu kwa Francis: -Aliigawa wizara ya Masuala ya Nchi za Kigeni kwa kumweka Kadinali Pell kama mbabe sambamba wa kifedha ambaye hakuwa na uzoefu mwingi katika fani hiyo; -Alimtangaza Monsignor asiye na maarifa na ambaye alijiingiza katika mambo ya kishoga Mario Battista Ricca kama mkuu wa Benki ya Vatikani, cheo muhimu ambacho kinafaa kuhakiki uhusianokati ya usimamizi wa benki hiyo na bodi la Makadinali; -Yeye mwenyewe aliwatangaza Francesca Chaouqui na Monsignor Lucio Ángel Vallejo Baldakatika taasisi muhimu za kifedha; -Bila kutii utaratibu unaofaa, aliwabadilisha watu kama vile Mammì na Mattietti katika usimamizi wa Benki ya Vatikani; -Alikataa kumsikiliza …Zaidi

On 24 March, a court in Privas, France, delivered its verdict in the case of Father Bernard Domini and the Catholic community Famille Missionnaire de Notre Dame (FMND). The case raises wider questions about religious freedom and new legal standards in France. Following a two-year investigation, the case centred on allegations of "abuse of vulnerability" and 2psychological subjection" brought by five former members of the community. The community has approximately 160 members. The charges did not involve allegations of sexual abuse, physical violence or financial misconduct, but instead focused on the community's internal practices and discipline. In its ruling, the court issued ten decisions, resulting in seven acquittals and three convictions. Father Bernard was convicted on one count and acquitted on four others, while the FMND was convicted on two counts. The punishments handed down were relatively lenient: a six-month suspended sentence for Father Bernard and a €25,000 fine for the …Zaidi
Francis atatoa kwa ”Marekebisho” , yaliyotolewa hivi maajuzi na wasomi, jibu sawa na alilowapa Makadinali wa lile Dubia: "kimya", ameandika Raymond Arroyo kwenye mtandao wa Twitter. Dhana za mwanahabari huyo wa kituo cha EWTN ni kuwa tayari Papa Francis ametoa jibu "kwa kufanya marekebisho kwenye Taasisi ya John Paul II ya Ndoa na Familia na kwa kuwafuta kazi wamkosoao".
