One of the most incredible storm damage pictures I’ve ever seen happened this morning in South Dakota. A 131 mph wind gust in the city of Highmore split the roof of the Catholic Church perfectly illuminating the crucifix. This is not AI, it’s been confirmed real by locals. Truly amazing.

[Papa Leone XIV @Pontifex_it]

Oggi nella Chiesa celebriamo la solennità del Sacro Cuore di Gesù, che per i cristiani rappresenta l’amore misericordioso e infinito di Dio per ogni essere umano. Al di là del nostro luogo di provenienza, l’amore di Dio non conosce confini, non fa distinzioni, si dona a tutti e ci raccoglie nell’unità. #ViaggioApostolico

[Papa León XIV @Pontifex_es]

Doy gracias a Dios y a todos los que me han acogido y que, de mil maneras, han colaborado en la preparación y la realización de los distintos momentos en Madrid, Barcelona, Montserrat y en las Islas Canarias. Regreso a Roma conmovido por el gran afecto con el que me han recibido, y reconfortado por los testimonios de fe y de amor a la Iglesia, expresiones del gran corazón católico de España.

Bavaria legally mandates that Crucifixes be hung in the entrances of all state public buildings to reflect their Christian identity.

Breaking: Pope Leo XIV tells states that Catholic Colleges and Universities must teach "sound doctrine" and that it is not enough to teach intellectual truths but they must teach the "Truth that is Christ."

Japanese crude oil inventory chart is one of the wildest through the Hormuz crisis thus far.

[Qasem Al-Ali @AlaliQasem]

JPMorgan just published the scariest oil chart I’ve ever seen.
World inventories are in freefall.
And when this line hits 6.8 — the global energy system doesn’t slow down.
It breaks. 🧵

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

Oh dear, the curse of The Economist's oil cover:

"... Why oil prices are not yet high enough..."

You know what that means, don't you?

[Qasem Al-Ali @AlaliQasem]

🚨 Saudi Finance Minister EXPOSES the oil price :
“You see $90 on the screen… good luck buying a barrel at that price.”
Real price? $120–$160/barrel.
The biggest gap between perception and reality in energy markets — ever.
Who’s controlling the narrative? 👀

If only we’d trained Grok on just these 2 books, we’d be done already!

For the first time, the global Catholic population has reached 1.422 billion baptized members.

This milestone was reported in the Annuario Pontificio 2026 and the Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae 2024

[Papa Leone XIV @Pontifex_it]

Con particolare affetto, alla luce del Risorto ricordiamo oggi papa Francesco, che proprio il Lunedì dell’Angelo dello scorso anno ha consegnato la vita al Signore.

[EWTN Vatican @EWTNVatican]

Pope Leo XIV received representatives of the International Association of Exorcists (AIE) in a private audience on Friday, March 13. They presented a report on the growing prevalence of cases related to occultism, esotericism, and Satanism, and the spiritual consequences they believe this has for many people.

During the meeting, the Association asked the Pontiff to ensure that every diocese in the world has one or more adequately trained exorcist priests. The request concerns not only the number of exorcists, but above all their preparation: seminary training, specific programs for new bishops, and clear discernment criteria for addressing particularly delicate pastoral situations.

According to Father Francesco Bamonte, Vice President of the AIE, ignoring these phenomena leaves many faithful without an adequate response to grave spiritual suffering, sometimes pushing them toward inappropriate solutions. This is why exorcists insist on the need for serious, prudent, and Gospel-based pastoral care.

During the audience, the Pope was also presented with the book Guidelines for the Ministry of Exorcism, along with an image of Saint Michael the Archangel from the sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo. Leo XIV also recalled his past acquaintance with and appreciation for Father Gabriele Amorth, founder of the International Association of Exorcists.

Get in loser,

we're shipping 2 million barrels of A-Light through Hormuz.

Time to unpack the old sanction-busting playbook.

He’s not just the Pope. He’s one of the smartest men alive right now.

[Papa Leone XIV @Pontifex_it]

Mentre iniziamo oggi il nostro viaggio di #Quaresima, chiediamo al Signore di concederci il dono della vera conversione del cuore, affinché possiamo rispondere meglio al suo amore per noi e condividere quell'amore con coloro che ci circondano.
