🚨ALARMING: When Trump launches a war with Cuba next, OF COURSE it will fall apart:

Watch Marco Rubio discussing Iran, Taiwan, or Venezuela while TRUMP FALLS ASLEEP, barely understanding what’s being said.

How the hell are they letting him make life and death decisions??

I follow with concern the war in #Ukraine, which is experiencing a sharp intensification in these days. I wish to express my closeness to all those suffering due to recent attacks carried out even against civilians. War does not solve problems but worsens them. It does not create security but multiplies suffering and hatred. Where missiles and drones fall, hopes also fall; homes and places of prayer are destroyed, and innocent lives are broken. I entrust all peoples wounded by war to the protection of the Virgin Mary, Queen of #Peace.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

For centuries, the liturgy has been a driving force for evangelization. Today, we need to renew this energy in continuity with the authentic and living Catholic tradition, that is, according to a dynamic aimed at introducing believers to the fullness of truth. #GeneralAudience

I can’t believe I have to say this:

The President should not financially benefit from the very government he controls.

I’ve got a bill to stop Trump’s corruption.

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological progress — valuable in itself — requires careful discernment of the anthropological vision that guides it and the ends it pursues. If technological development advances without a corresponding ethical and social progress, the result may be an increase in means without a growth in humanity: “having more” without “being more.” There is a risk that individuals will be evaluated principally according to the outcomes they produce. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Evangelization does not rely on the efficiency of structures or on social relevance, nor even on the consensus that may be received at a given moment. Trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit remains the essential aspect, following the paths He indicates in order to lead many people to Christ, to His word that saves, and to His love that renews life.

During his general audience, Pope Leo XIV urged priests to respect liturgical norms and avoid changing the Mass on their own initiative to prevent confusing the faithful.

A steady hand at the helm of a changing world. ⚖️ Today, May 29, we honor Saint Paul VI, the Pope called to guide the Church through the final stages of the Second Vatican Council and into the complexities of the modern era.

Paul VI was a man of deep intellect and courageous faith. He did not shy away from the difficult questions of the 20th century; instead, he opened a dialogue between the Church and the modern world, insisting that progress without a moral foundation risks losing sight of human dignity.

A Closer Look at the “Pope of Modernity”:

1️⃣ The Pilgrim Pope: Reigning from 1963 to 1978, Paul VI became the first pope of the modern era to undertake major international apostolic journeys. He traveled across continents, addressed the United Nations, and brought the Church’s message of peace directly to the world. ✈️

2️⃣ Seeking Unity: In a historic step toward healing ancient wounds, he traveled to Jerusalem to meet Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras. Their embrace marked a watershed moment in the dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. 🕊️

3️⃣ Prophetic Witness: Paul VI helped the Church read the “signs of the times” through the light of the Gospel. In 1968, with Humanae Vitae, he offered one of the most courageous and debated teachings of his pontificate, defending the dignity of human love and the sanctity of life. 🛡️

4️⃣ A Saint for the Modern World: Canonized by Pope Francis in 2018, Saint Paul VI remains a guide for those seeking to live the faith with courage, intelligence, and fidelity in a changing cultural landscape. 🏛️

Saint Paul VI reminds us that while the world changes, the Truth of the Gospel remains our anchor.

#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Trump used to be a Democrat who contributed to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Harry Reed. Now he calls himself a Republican, but he’s actually a party of one: Donald Trump.

Thank you, Uncle George.

After GOP Rep. Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, Trump and his allies poured millions into backing his opponent, Trump‑endorsed Ed Gallrein, who went on to win the Republican primary in Kentucky. Massie says this is why the establishment wanted him out.
