Leo XIV received Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda, S.J., Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and Grand Master Fra’ John Timothy Dunlap on April 10 to address ongoing issues related to the Order’s constitutional reform. According to CatholicHerald.com, the meeting focused on the Order’s revised Constitutional Charter, drafted under Ghirlanda’s supervision. The reform remains controversial as it reshapes the balance between the Order’s sovereignty and Vatican oversight. Leo XIV first met both men together before holding separate discussions. Previous reports had suggested that Cardinal Ghirlanda - appointed by Pope Francis in June 2023 with broad reform powers - could be replaced, possibly by Cardinal Arthur Roche or Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Nico Spuntoni wrote that the audience aimed to review specific constitutional articles and update related regulations. He added that a leadership change may become likely once Ghirlanda’s mandate ends. The Order remains unique as both a …Aswan
11.04.2026 Papst Leo XIV. verurteilt Gewalt und lädt zu Friedensgebet ein "Gott segnet keinen Konflikt" Diese Woche verurteilte Papst Leo die Vernichtungsdrohung von US-Präsident Trump gegen den Iran ungewöhnlich scharf. Die daraufhin angekündigte Waffenruhe verfolgt er nun intensiv. Nun ruft er zum weltweiten Friedensgebet auf.
Pope Leo lashed out against warmongers on Saturday while calling on billions of people around the globe to embrace peace and "believe once again in love, moderation and good politics". In one of his most passionate entreaties yet to end the raging conflict in the Middle East, the American pope said faith was needed "in order to face this dramatic hour in history together". "Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life," Pope Leo implored in an address during a prayer vigil for peace at St Peter's Basilica. Uttered in measured tones, as is customary for the soft-spoken head of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, the comments by the 70-year-old Leo nevertheless marked some of the most pointed criticism yet of the wave of conflicts inflaming the globe. "Dear brothers and sisters, there are certainly binding responsibilities that fall to the leaders of nations. To them we cry out: Stop! It is time for peace! …Aswan
Randall Carlson @randallwcarlson The Berezovka mammoth was found frozen in permafrost in a position that tells an extraordinary story. Sitting on its haunches with both hips broken, it had food in its mouth and undigested material in its stomach that had never had time to putrefy. Scientific analysis concluded that the entire six ton carcass would have had to be frozen within approximately ten hours to prevent biological decomposition of the stomach contents from beginning. The question that conclusion forces is one Randall states directly - how do you freeze a six ton mammoth in ten hours? Under any gradual or incremental climate change scenario the answer is that you simply do not. The Berezovka mammoth is physical evidence of a temperature drop so sudden and so catastrophic that a living animal was flash frozen mid-meal, food still in its mouth, before decomposition could begin. Both hips broken suggests it was thrown or fell violently before the freeze occurred. Something happened …Aswan

Pro-homosexual Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich has warned that the idea of female ordination would "currently" split the Church. In an interview with VaticanNews.va on 10 April, Cardinal Hollerich referred to the divisions within the Anglican group following the appointment of Sarah Mullally. According to the cardinal, any [impossible] change in access to ordained ministry must come through “the consensus of the whole Church,” not through isolated regional decisions. However, Hollerich claimed a growing frustration among “many” women. For him it is difficult to imagine a Church enduring long-term if “half of the People of God suffer because they have no access to ordained ministry.” Asked about a possible timeline, Cardinal Hollerich said: “I leave that to the Holy Spirit.” In the meantime, he wants to expanding women’s roles in decision-making within the Church. He has three women serving as episcopal delegates in his Archdiocese for consecrated life, the social sector,…Aswan

Maxpein @maximumpain333 Your body is listening to everything you say… and most people have no idea. When I first learned about Dr. Emoto’s studies on water… it genuinely stayed with me. The idea that words, intention, and vibration could change the structure of water felt profound. And that’s actually what led me to start speaking into my water. Praying over it. Setting intention with it. I even have a full podcast episode on this—“Speaking Into Your Water”—because it impacted me that deeply. But here’s what I love about this video… It connects something I’ve already been practicing with something I’ve already been teaching. Because through Spirit Ascension, I guide people through subconscious reprogramming—especially at night, when your mind is most receptive. And when you really think about it… Your body is made of water. Your mind is most open before sleep. So when you’re visualizing, speaking life, and setting intention at night… you’re not just shifting your mindset. You’re …Aswan
"The hidden signification of this stone points to the holiness and power of the name of Mary. For she took her name from that part of the world where she first came into being, calling herself a daughter of Adam. And her name by the mere change of the accent signifies in Latin the collective oceans. For she was the ocean of the graces and gifts of the divinity."

The anti-Catholic Robert Prevost, in his continued rebellion against God and the Church, appoints the apostate Claudio Pablo Castricone—an ally of the anti-Catholic Bergoglio—to the former diocese of the homosexual Zanchetta.
On 10 April, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Claudio Pablo Castricone as coadjutor bishop of the diocese of Orán in Argentina. Born on 16 April 1958 in Villa Constitución, he was ordained a priest in 1984. Monsignor Castricone has openly identified with Francis’s destructive programme for decades. The article's photograph shows him meeting Cardinal Bergoglio in Misiones, northern Argentina, in 2007. Diocese of Orán: Ruined by Homosexual Leadership The diocese of Orán is famous because it was led by the homosexual Gustavo Oscar Zanchetta, another close associate of Francis, from 2013 to 2017. In 2017, Francis accepted Zanchetta’s resignation for 'health reasons' and soon after appointed him to a Vatican financial role. It later emerged that priests had reported Zanchetta to Rome for possessing pornographic images of young men on his phone. He was also notorious for financial misconduct and abuse of authority. In 2022, he was convicted by an Argentine court of homosexually abusing two …Aswan
The Autobiography of Saint Gemma Galgani (Audiobook) THE LIFE OF THE SERVANT OF GOD, GEMMA GALGANI. An Italian maiden of Lucca The Life of St Gemma Galgani book
The Autobiography of Saint Gemma Galgani (Audiobook) TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE Many years ago, when I was a young priest, I had the good fortune of studying for a time in Rome. During that time, I lived with the Passionist Community at their central house in Rome, Saints John and Paul. This was an international community of Passionists, but largely Italian, and the language of the house was Italian. As a result, I ended my stay in Rome with at least some knowledge of the Italian language. I returned to the States with many memories, and with a desire to put my acquired knowledge of Italian to some practical use. Among many other Roman experiences, I had come into more direct contact with the person and the writings of Saint Gemma Galgani. Gemma was a young lay woman who desired ardently to become a Passionist Nun, but God never granted this desire. However, through her close association with the Passionists, she earned a treasured place among the Passionist Family. As so many others have …Aswan
The two Catholic Dogmas that infuriate the world (including worldly prelates, who's offices I acknowledge and respecr) more than any others: 1. Virtuous carnal pleasure is strictly limited to the marriage bed with the intent of procreation destined for Holy Baptism. 2. Voluntary renunciation of all carnal pleasures (even in marriage) is the Christian Ideal. (Jesus, Mary, Joseph & Countless Saints).
On April 9, 2026, the Holy See Press Office announced that Pope Leo XIV appointed the listed figures as members of the Dicastery for Communication: Curia Cardinal Luis Tagle, 68, Philippines He is considered emotionally instable and holds pro-homosexual views: “The harsh words that were used in the past to refer to homosexuals and divorced and separated people, the unwed mothers, et cetera, in the past they were quite severe,” Tagle told a Catholic youth conference in London in 2015. In 2017, he led a social media initiative in the Philippines called the Lazarus Project, to call for homosexual acceptance in churches. In 2019, he called on Catholic youth to stop discriminating against homosexual people. Furthermore, Cardinal Tagle believes that there is no all-encompassing answer to adultery: “Every situation for those who are divorced and remarried is quite unique. To have a general rule might be counterproductive in the end.” Cristóbal López Romero, 72, of Rabat, Morocco Spanish born …Aswan
