Blessed Feast of St. Joan of Arc!
This year marks the 595th anniversary of her martyrdom & the 570th anniversary of her rehabilitation—the retrial in which a papal commission overturned the charge of heresy & declared the original 1431 trial fraudulent & invalid.
St. Joan of Arc was canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV. May she intercede for the Church and for France!
I've been Catholic for 20 years.
The single best thing that ever happened in my life. By God’s grace, I found the pearl of great price.
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
We look forward to welcoming Secretary Rubio and his team to Rome this week to further strengthen the relationship between the United States and the Holy See.

King Charles has been a triumph on this US trip.
His speeches yesterday were the most brilliant act of much-needed diplomacy that I can remember in a long time. He was charming, funny, courageous, and reminded everyone why the Monarchy remains one of Britain’s greatest assets.
JUST IN: Vatican releases photos of Pope Leo XIV’s meeting today with Sarah Mullally. In his address to her, the Pope noted that: “While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern.”
Of course, chief among these new problems is the fact that a woman dressed in liturgical attire is now being passed off — and celebrated by the Vatican and even by the Pope — as someone who seemingly has valid Orders when she doesn’t — first because she’s a woman and second because she’s an Anglican.
So much so that, during her visit to St. Peter’s Basilica on Sunday, a Vatican official (Archbishop Flavio Pace, Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity) bowed before her in the Clementine Chapel — one of the most sacred places in the Vatican grottoes, located just next to the tomb of St. Peter — and made the Sign of the Cross as though receiving a real blessing from her.
Absolutely absurd.

Un anno fa Papa Francesco tornava alla casa del Padre. Il suo è un ricordo ancora molto presente.
Nel suo magistero ha richiamato con costanza il valore della pace, dell’attenzione verso chi è più fragile e della responsabilità verso gli altri. Ha saputo parlare al mondo con parole semplici, raggiungendo credenti e non credenti, toccando anche questioni che riguardano la vita delle persone di tutti i giorni. Conoscerlo è stato per me un privilegio, così come la sua presenza al G7 presieduto dall'Italia - la prima volta per un Pontefice - è stato un regalo grandissimo che porto nel cuore. Resta una figura che ha segnato profondamente il nostro tempo, e il cui messaggio continua a essere attuale. Grazie di tutto Papa Francesco.
