To my Catholic followers have you seen “Silence”? I particularly like watching movies with acting Catholic priests. I’m watching it again. I’d give it 8/10 stars ✨
You get to see the passion people have for Christ and how the poorest of the poor have this solid faith that’s so admirable.

Filippo Sorcinelli, the Pope’s Gay Designer embracing the Church that rejects Him
Filippo Sorcinelli is an openly gay fashion designer who creates sacred vestments for the Popes. Yet the Catholic Church, the very institution he serves, continues to exclude and reject the LGBTIQ+ community.
Being a gay man at the centre of Catholicism is not easy. His work becomes a quiet dialogue with God, even when that same God, through the Church, causes him pain. The Church has formed his artistic vision in the deepest way. It has also brought him rejection, silence, and distance. Still, he remains. He keeps designing for it. He honours every detail of its rituals. He is like a son who keeps embracing a father who has never fully learned how to love him back.
While many know his name through the Holy See, his creativity reaches far beyond church garments. He produces performance art and perfumes inspired by liturgical incense. In his world, the sacred lives through beauty and feeling, not only through official doctrine.
Filippo Sorcinelli’s story raises a question that many of us who are gay know too well:
Why do so many people love what we create for them, yet refuse to fully accept who we are? They admire our talent, our diligence, our kindness, our empathy, and our generosity. They are drawn to the way we give beyond ourselves. Yet they often hesitate to stand with us in public. They enjoy the fruit of our art, our ideas, and our abilities, while quietly treating us as unfit or unworthy of open association. How long will this pattern continue? How many lives must remain divided between deep contribution and public rejection?
Filippo’s quiet faithfulness invites us to ask these questions honestly, without easy answers.

@UcheMaryOkoli My mom is not Catholic but I am. I watched her suffer. I wouldn’t encourage euthanasia but if she had wanted that I would have respected it and still prayed for her.

The Augustinians had no website when Pope Leo XIV became their global leader in 2001 — so he taught himself web design and helped build one from scratch. https://t.co/IBzgSlV9TR
