During today’s flight to France, Leo XIV was not asked any serious or hard question like about his episcopal appointments. He was asked: "Are you a happy person?" Leo XIV responded: "Happy, yes, I think so." Then he added: "Despite the difficulties, I find it in Faith. I am content with a choice made many years ago, which I still renew every time. But I tell myself: following Jesus is the happiest thing in life." Speaking of the weight of his mission, he said: "It's heavy… it tires me much more, but God is great, he is much greater than us." In response to questions about his fluency in French, Leo XIV answered he has been practicing a little bit, but he is not using Duolingo anymore, as had been reported in certain media outlets.
Durante il volo papale verso la Francia, che accoglierà Papa Leone XIV a Parigi, Lourdes e Metz, al Santo Padre è stata posta una domanda molto personale: «È una persona felice?» Papa Leone ha risposto: «Felice, sì, penso di sì». Poi ha aggiunto: «Nonostante le difficoltà, però trovo nella fede. Sono contento di una scelta fatta molti anni fa, che ancora rinnovo ogni volta. Però mi dico: seguire Gesù è la cosa più felice della vita».
Here he should have said: next question. "I am glad that you are all here,” Pope Leo said aboard plane to France in response to CNN Vatican reporter who asked for comment on the banning of some journalists from White House. "It is necessary and I think it is very important to have good media coverage everywhere and for everyone,” the Pope said.
The first question I would have asked would have been a very simple one: what, when the aircraft takes off again at the end of these few days, do we actually want to have achieved?
Cardinal Tagle, Pope Leo XIV’s delegate, takes on the celebrity priest culture at today’s beatification of Blessed Fulton Sheen: “Dear priests, blessed are you when you tell the good news of Jesus to all people. St. Paul in the second reading is blessed because he does not preach himself, but rather Jesus Christ as Lord. “To preach your own wisdom rather than that of Jesus is falsifying the word of God, according to St. Paul. And it is not mission. It is not blessedness. “Blessed and beautiful are your feet when you announce God’s salvation and peace, according to the prophet Isaiah in the first reading. To journey on land, water, and air while proclaiming destructive words and doing violent acts is not mission. It is not blessedness. “Blessed are you when the risen Lord works with you and confirms the Gospel you preach through his miraculous signs. “To be self-sufficient and self-affirming — "congratulations to myself" — that is a bad sign. It is not a miraculous sign. It is not mission …Máis
German Protestant Green politician preaches at Cologne Cathedral. Cologne’s Catholic city treasurer Dörte Diemert and pro-abortion Protestant Green politician Katrin Göring-Eckardt, a former Vice President of the German Bundestag, are preaching together at an ecumenical service at Cologne Cathedral at 4:45 p.m. today. Göring-Eckardt told the 'Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger': “I think it’s good for a Catholic house like this to have women take such a prominent role. All the Greens from Cologne I spoke to were wide-eyed and said: ‘None of us has ever been allowed to do that before.’” Göring-Eckardt, who studied Protestant theology, says she does not intend to give a political speech but to preach.

Saint Peter’s Basilica will hold a Lectio Francisci and Eucharist on October 24 - the same date and place requested by the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage for its Mass in the Roman rite. Marking the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’s death, the 3:30 p.m. event features talks on Francis in Rome, his bond with the See of Peter, and fraternity and multiculturalism, with music by the Cappella Musicale Giulia. As permission was denied, Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s Mass is moved to Santa Maria Maggiore at 3 p.m. to celebrate the Holy Mass for the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage. No reason for the refusal has been given.
Sanctuary as stage: a “Gratitude Tree” in Pécs Cathedral. A plastic tree has been installed in front of the sanctuary inside the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul in Pécs, Hungary, to mark World Gratitude Day on September 21. The installation, which will remain until September 30, invites visitors to pause, reflect on what they are grateful for, write down a word, name, memory or personal message, and attach it to the tree.
True converts don't obsess on what they can't change. Only enemies of the Church obsess on what is outside their sphere of influence. Phony priests included.

25.09.2026 SCHNEIDER AND BARTHE VIOLATE THE NICENE CREED AND CANON LAW: POLITICALLY CORRECT IN ROME. According to AdTuendem Fidem of Pope John Paul II, Bishop Athanasius Schneider and Fr. Claude Barthe are not allowed to change the understanding of the Nicene Creed. ‘I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins’,refers to one known baptism, the baptism of water. This means LG 14 and 16 are invisible cases for me but not for them. The ‘one, holy Catholic and Apostolic Church’ today says for me that outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, there is no known salvation in personal cases. So Ad Gentes 7 is ecclesiocentric like the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the 16th century and LG 14 and 16 are not practical exceptions. The Athanasius Creed also has no explicit exceptions in Vatican Council II for me, but not for them. Next month at the Summorum Pontificum procession, Mass and conference in Rome, in general, they will not interpret Vatican Council II rationally …Máis
55% of French priests aged 25–34 celebrate the Mass in the Roman rite. That’s according to figures reported by the French daily Le Figaro and the French pollster IFOP, headed by Jérôme Fourquet. Among French priests aged 75 and over, the corresponding figure is just 2%. However, the overall decline in the number of priests in France has been disastrous. France had nearly 40,000 priests in 1980. By 2025, that number had fallen to fewer than 12,000, with a median age of about 75.
