This Catholic priest reportedly flew across churches, hovered above crowds, and carried another friar into the air.
A pope witnessed it. A surgeon examined him. A Protestant visitor became Catholic.

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Thank you. That’s a huge milestone, but more importantly, it means thousands are choosing to hear directly from Catholic Answers.
Our mission is to make sure Catholics understand what the Church teaches so they can represent the Faith clearly and confidently in a world where there is a lot of confusion.
And it’s not just anti-Catholic rhetoric that’s out there; the internet has made it easier than ever for half-truths and misrepresentations of Catholicism to spread.
We’re here to help correct that.
Everything we publish on Substack is completely free.
And again, thank you to everyone who has joined us so far.

Bad water destroys our bodies and minds. Being a traditional Catholic is not “Go to Latin Mass and just drink the government’s hormonal cocktail tap water.”
The Pope praying and advocating for clean water is righteous and good and I support him. People mocking the pope for this are misguided. Jacob was a well digger. The ministries of Moses and Elijah were validated by access to clean water.
We support a herd of cattle on natural spring water and I want our aquifers protected from pesticides and chemicals. Our family also invested in home water filtration to remove all chemicals (birth control and pesticides) from our water.
If you’re a Catholic mocking Pope Leo for this, check yourself.
Do not be afraid to sow without immediately seeing the fruits. The sowing belongs to you; the growth belongs to God. No gesture carried out in the name of Christ is useless.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is set to sign legislation recognizing two Muslim holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as state holidays and allowing public schools to celebrate their significance.
There are over 12 million Catholics in California, yet schools have no similar authorization to celebrate the religious significance of Christmas, Easter or Good Friday.
Yes, we Catholics 110% believe there should be a 1 world religion.
It's called Catholicism.
Everyone should believe all the Church teaches, go to Mass every Sunday, repent, & submit to the Pope.
Reminder that Osamu Tezuka created a Bible anime out of a request by The Vatican. The episodes were directed by the legendary Osamu Dezaki.
The Catholic Church is long overdue to make another contribution to animation.
