Was a Michelangelo Sculpture Discovered in Rome? A study announced on March 4 suggests a marble bust of Christ the Savior in Rome’s Basilica of Sant’Agnese fuori le Mura may be by Michelangelo. Researcher Valentina Salerno proposed the attribution after years of archival research, noting stylistic similarities and links to circles close to the artist in his final years
Il Cristo di Sant’Agnese attribuito a Michelangelo Presentata la nuova ricostruzione storica sul busto conservato sulla Nomentana Èdi Michelangelo Buonarroti il busto scultoreo del Cristo Salvatore conservato da secoli nella Basilica di Sant’Agnese fuori le mura, lungo la via Nomentana a Roma. L’opera, finora considerata anonima, è stata oggetto di una nuova attribuzione resa pubblica nel corso di una conferenza stampa nella stessa basilica. La riattribuzione è stata presentata dalla ricercatrice Valentina Salerno insieme all’Ordine dei Canonici Regolari Lateranensi, che regge il complesso monumentale. Alla base della nuova ricostruzione vi è un’approfondita indagine documentale sull’eredità di Michelangelo, fondata su testamenti, carteggi, diari, libri storici e di viaggio, relazioni, inventari notarili e atti confraternali dal 1564 fino ai giorni nostri. Secondo quanto emerso dagli studi, l’insieme delle fonti consentirebbe di ricondurre il busto del Cristo Salvatore alla mano …Zêde
Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal. "Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?" Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening. His questions: * Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure? * Did you calculate collateral damage before firing? * You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose * Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf state's. Now we’re getting attacked. Where did that money go? * You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela * 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized) * War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total * Your approval …Zêde
In the mean time, bibi's wife and kid is hiding out in Florida. Which makes them a target. I live hours from them. So that makes me a target as well. And I didn't vote for the beast.

Iranian missiles are hitting several sites in the Gulf Arab states because the US has prioritized Israel's defenses, Russian-American military analyst Stanislav Krapivnik told The Sanchez Effect.

Archbishop Juan Antonio Aznárez Cobo, 65, of the Military Ordinariate of Spain, refused permission for the funeral rites of Antonio Tejero Molina to be held at the Armed Forces Cathedral in Madrid. No Canonical Explanation Monsignor Aznárez Cobo personally informed Tejero’s family that the funeral scheduled for 25 March would not be permitted in the cathedral. In a statement issued through their lawyer, the family expressed "deep sorrow and perplexity," noting that no canonical explanation had been provided for the decision. They emphasised that Catholic funerals are not judgments on a person’s life, but rather prayers for the soul of the deceased and a source of consolation for those who mourn. The Figure of Antonio Tejero As a lieutenant colonel, Tejero led the armed seizure of the Spanish parliament during the 1981 Spanish coup attempt. He supported the Francoist system. However, the coup collapsed following a televised address by King Juan Carlos I, after which Tejero was convicted …Zêde

‘The Whole Church Rejoices’: London Reports … LONDON — Two major English archdioceses whose jurisdictions cover most of London have registered record numbers of adults due to be received into the Catholic Church at Easter. The archdioceses of Westminster and Southwark revealed the numbers at their respective rites of election on Feb. 21. In a Feb. 21 statement, the archdiocese of Westminster said the 2026 group is the “fourth largest since diocesan records began in 1993 and the highest level of participation in fifteen years.” It noted that “after declining during the pandemic, numbers have risen significantly, with strong participation across the Diocese” and that “this year’s cohort represents a 60% increase from 2025.” Almost 800 adults from more than 100 parishes across the Diocese took part. The liturgical rite, which echoes biblical themes of divine choosing, rather than their own selection of the Church, includes those already baptized in non-Catholic denominations who are …Zêde
"Now we must consider how Mary is interpreted "Star of the sea." This name is most suitable to Mary, for she fulfills the office that a star does to mariners at sea. We read, and it is true, that sailors, when they propose to sail to some distant land, choose a star by whose guiding light they may, without going astray, make their way to the land of their desire. Such is certainly the office of Mary, our Star, who directs those who sail through the sea of the world in the ship of innocence or penance, to the shore of the heavenly country."
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD: Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (aged 52-53); Cardinal, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, Seraphic Doctor, Teacher of the Faith, Writer, Philosopher] “Chapter III ~ ‘THE MEANINGS OF THE NAME MARY’ Ave Maria. As we have said above, this name was inserted here not by the Angel, but by the devotion of the faithful. The Blessed Evangelist Luke says significantly: "And the name of the Virgin was Mary" (Luke I, 27.) This most holy, sweet, and worthy name was eminently fitting to so holy, sweet, and worthy a virgin. For Mary means a bitter sea, star of the sea, the illuminated or illuminatrix. Mary is interpreted lady. Mary is a bitter sea to the demons; to men she is the star of the sea; to the angels she is illuminatrix, and to all creatures she is lady. Mary is interpreted: "a bitter sea"; this is excellently suited to her power against the demons. Note in what way Mary is a sea, and in what way she is bitter, and how …Zêde
A deepening energy dispute inside Europe is exposing growing divisions over the Ukraine war. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would continue supplying oil and gas only to “reliable partners,” as Hungary sought guarantees that Russian energy deliveries would continue despite the ongoing crisis. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto accused Ukraine of blocking oil shipments through the Druzhba pipeline for weeks, warning that global energy security is already under pressure following the Iran war and disruptions to maritime oil routes. Meanwhile, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of falsely claiming the pipeline had been severely damaged and threatened to cut emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine and block a €90 billion EU loan package if oil flows are not restored. The dispute highlights a growing rift within the European Union as energy security, war funding for Kyiv and relations with Russia collide. PUTIN ENERGY …Zêde
youtube.com/watch?v=XRlKF6oheCc Communion on the Tongue: A Catholic Practice Explained What Is Communion on the Tongue? Communion on the tongue is a traditional method of receiving the Eucharist in the Catholic Church, where the communicant kneels (or stands) and extends their tongue to allow the priest or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion to place the consecrated host directly onto it. Historical Background Early Church:Receiving on the tongue has ancient roots, practiced widely in the early centuries of Christianity. Medieval Period:It became the normative practice in the Latin Rite, emphasizing reverence and minimizing contact with the sacred species. Post-Vatican II:After the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), the option to receive in the hand was introduced in many regions, but receiving on the tongue remains a fully licit and respected practice. Theological Significance Expression of Reverence:It underscores belief in the Real Presence—that the Eucharist is truly the …Zêde
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 16,19-31. Jesus said to the Pharisees: "There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.' Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
