We need more men like this. Archbishop Fulton Sheen pray for us!
I love being Catholic.
We think in centuries and millennia. We build for eternity.
Construction of this amazing Basilica began under Pope Leo XIII in 1882.
It is complete under Pope Leo XIV in 2026.
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
@DefiantLs What I love about Catholicism is that the Catholic Christian pisses off the left and the right at various times. It’s a complicated issue but he specifically speaking to migrants that are being persecuted in someway
I just play it on repeat since yesterday:
"Hello Pope Leo XIV, I'm Renzo, I'm six years old.
I'd like to ask you a few questions."
Renzo, a little a boy from the poor neighborhood of Barcelona, stole the show yesterday at St. Augustine's parish, a place where Pope Leo admitted he "feels at home."
Renzo in the sweetest way ever asked those questions to the pope:
Do you like soccer?
When you were little, did you want to be Pope?
Why are my mom and dad worried?
Why does my dad have so many jobs?
Why do bad things happen to some people and not to others? Whose fault is it?
Why are there so many people living on the streets? Does no one see them? Does no one help them?
How can we help if the world is so big?
Does God want there to be poor and rich?
Why are there so many lonely grandparents, if they are so important?
And one last question ... Must we always forgive?
What pope Leo answered the boy was really moving.
"Regarding whether I like football, I confess that I play tennis and I enjoy it very much, but I also appreciate football; in fact, during my years as bishop in Peru, I liked to follow how some local teams were doing; and now, as Pope, I have also received football clubs and sports groups," the pope said, adding that "sport is important because it helps us grow up healthy in body and mind."
He said that as World Cup unfolds, "many will be watching the matches. Football reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off alone, but a path we learn to travel together."
"Whoever doesn't know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, hasn't yet understood the game. And whoever doesn't know how to live with others and for others hasn't yet understood life."
Answering whether he wanted to be Pope when he was little, the pope said: "Well, Renzo, I don't think so. I don't think I ever thought about it."
"But I can tell you something: from a young age, I felt the desire to dedicate my life to God. I didn't yet know exactly how or where the Lord would lead me. Over time, I discovered that Jesus was calling me to follow him as a priest, and that this path led through the Order of Saint Augustine."
"But this isn't just true for me," he said. "Every child is a dream of God. You are too. God desires the happiness of all and wants us, from childhood and throughout our lives, to have a heart like that of children (cf. Mt 18:3): capable of trusting, full of kindness; he wants us to be his friends and not turn away from him. Therefore, more important than asking oneself whether one will be a priest, doctor, teacher, parent, or anything else, is asking oneself whether one wants to be a friend of Jesus. Because friendship with Jesus gives us joy, sets us free, and helps us to see, step by step, the vocation and the path that God has planned for each of us."
Answering the point on injustices in the world, Pope Leo told the boy that "through the life of Jesus Christ, God shows us that, although there is suffering, he never abandons any of his children, because he has prepared for us an eternal joy where there will be no more sadness or pain. Let us have confidence, Jesus is with us, he helps us and accompanies us, and gives us strength to go through the difficult moments we may encounter in life."
Stressing that grandparents play a crucial role in families, the pope said: "Let us not allow loneliness and abandonment to become normalized in the lives of older adults. That is a very sad thing. Let's have our hearts open to all of them."
On forgiveness, he told Renzo and those gathered: "It does not mean forgetting by force, as if nothing had happened. Forgiveness means not letting hatred become the master of our hearts ... our willingness to forgive is a condition for the forgiveness we receive from God."

This black mom says that she gives her 10-year-old a sock full of batteries as a weapon when he goes out to play.
Just in case some white boys come around, messing with him.
I know we always say that it’s a fatherless home that leads to these types of criminal black men but…
A young Scottish girl who defended her sister from Muslim invader/predators has been vindicated by a British court. She should have a statue erected in her honor rather than have been charged in the first place. She has more heart than the leftist politicians destroying the UK.
I’m trying to understand the left’s argument supporting Karmelo Anthony.
Karmelo followed Austin Metcalf into the Memorial high school tent. In high school athletics, this is a provocation.
15 times, Karmelo was asked to leave the tent. He didn’t.
He then challenged Austin Metcalf to touch him and “find out.”
Someone pushed Karmelo. Per video, maybe two minor pushes.
Witnesses testify Austin Metcalf did NOT punch Karmelo or do anything that would cause serious bodily harm.
So Karmelo had no reasonable belief—the standard for self-defense—that his life was in danger.
Nonetheless, Karmelo immediately grabs a knife from his bag —which he was carrying illegally, no knives allowed on school property— and stabs Austin Metcalf in the heart, killing him.
Karmelo then throws the knife and runs away.
Moments later, after police arrest him and refer to him as the “alleged” suspect, Karmelo admits he killed Metcalf, saying: “I’m not alleged, I did it.”
So—
The jury was NOT “all white.” There were Asians, Hispanics & Arabs reportedly on the jury.
Karmelo’s lawyer wasn’t a public defender, he was a private attorney.
The left claims “racism!”
But facts matter.
There is ZERO evidence of racism.
And all the facts demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Karmelo Anthony murdered Austin Metcalf.
If you think Karmelo should walk free, YOU are the racist because you’re basing that on his skin color alone while ignoring the reality of the crime he committed.
Can you believe that you were included in God‘s plan? Like seriously, God actually decided you know, I want this person in my plan. I want this person on earth.I wanna give them an opportunity to join me in heaven. Like what?
CBS had the murderer's family on as if they were the victims here. Insane.
Karmelo robbed a family of ever seeing their son graduate, find the love of his life, have children. And yet it's Karmelo's mother we are supposed to feel sorry for? No. 35 years wasn't harsh enough.
DON'T FORGET: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz didn't just let fraudsters steal billions in taxpayer dollars.
Walz permitted private investigators to harass and intimidate state whistleblowers through phone surveillance and by photographing their homes.
That's criminal behavior.
