During his flight to Equatorial Guinea, Pope Leo XIV responded to questions regarding a potential future consistory. “That is a question that many people want to ask,” he said. He then made it clear that no decision had yet been taken on the timing of a new consistory. "We need to consider the matter from a broader global perspective," he added, also suggesting that the African continent is being given attention.
Today, Leo XIV commented on the possibility of the next consistory and the creation of new cardinals: 'No decision has yet been made on when new cardinals will be created. We need to consider the issue from a global perspective. We hope that, in the near future — or perhaps a little further down the line — the appointment of a new cardinal for Angola can be considered, and that this will be the case for Africa, and perhaps even for Angola.”
In an interview with The Good Newsroom, Archbishop Hicks of New York reflects on the first time he met Pope Francis, and how the Pope had a way of making personal connections.
The oldest prayer from the Apostles that miraculously still exists… Three years after the crucifiction, St Thomas sent Thaddeus to Edessa. Thaddeus not only brought the word, he brought the oldest Anaphora. This was a Eucharistic Prayer *from Jerusalem* which was prayed by the *Apostles themselves*. This prayer was kept alive in the Assyro-Chaldean churches, which are slowly going extinct. A prayer from the time of Christ. Not a few centuries later. Saving ancient Christianity = saving the prayers & treasures of the Apostles.

Epstein Craved Harvard Connections. Many There Were Eager to Help. New documents reveal what professors did to help Jeffrey Epstein get inside Harvard’s gates. nytimes.com/…0/us/epstein-files-harvard-universit… Jeffrey Epstein walked out of Palm Beach County jail in July 2009, after serving 13 months for solicitation and prostitution with a minor. Back at his waterfront mansion, he immediately began working to rebuild a cherished relationship, his connection to Harvard University. “home and free,” Mr. Epstein wrote by email the day of his release, in a message contained among documents recently made public by the federal government. The recipient was Stephen Kosslyn, a Harvard professor of psychology at the time. “HI Jeffrey!!!!!” the professor replied. “THIS IS FABULOUS!” For a decade, Mr. Epstein had used the power of his money and the force of his personality to carve a unique place for himself at Harvard. He became not just a patron of the sciences but also a faux researcher …More

On the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ death, Pope Leo XIV remembered him as a leader who gave greatly to the Church through his life, words, and actions.“I would like to remember, on this first anniversary of his death, Pope Francis, who gave so much to the church with his life, his testimony, his words, and his gestures,” Pope Leo said. He recalled how Pope Francis truly lived with “closeness to the poorest, the little ones, the sick, the children, the elderly.”
That's right, he gave so much, so much confusion, chaos, sin, destruction of faith and souls. So much, that Prevost continues to do the same, but he packages it better than Bergoglio

Mr. Nobody @MmisterNobody Farmers across the country are scratching their heads, and not just from bug bites. They're finding boxes packed full of ticks dumped in their fields. Just sitting there. Full of ticks. In a box. Interesting timing, considering Pfizer just announced it's about to release a Lyme disease vaccine. What makes this one different from your average vaccine? It actually does its job inside the tick. From epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina "It trains your body to make antibodies, and when a tick bites you and drinks your blood, it also drinks those antibodies, which then kill the bacteria right inside the tick's gut, before it ever reaches you." In other words, the tick bites you, has a bad time, and you walk away fine. So to summarize : mysterious boxes of ticks are appearing in farm fields, and the company that benefits most from a Lyme disease outbreak just happens to have a Lyme disease vaccine ready to go.
The good bishop conditionally (re)confirmed me back in 1997. I remember during our conversations and his sermons that he had such a powerful command of the language and the Faith. You could not be unmoved when you heard him. Eternal Rest Grant unto him O Lord.

Apostolic Journey to Equatorial Guinea: Meeting … ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE LEO XIV Presidential Palace (Malabo) Tuesday, 21 April 2026 [Multimedia] _____________________________ Mr President, Distinguished Civil Authorities and Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Ladies and Gentlemen, I greet you cordially and thank you for your welcome and for the words addressed to me. I am happy to be here among you, visiting the beloved people of Equatorial Guinea.

Kat A @SaiKate108 The Irish people are waking up and there’s no turning back!! Ivor Cummins says they now see it’s about so much more than fuel - it’s about the Epstein class ruling over them. Even the media which is usually a Government mouthpiece has turned on them over their sinister attempt to review and censor coverage of the protests. A powerful testament to what happens when people finally stand together.
James Martin in leaked audio: There has been a “step forward,” not a full change in doctrine. Martin points to Fiducia Supplicans, approved under Pope Francis. It allows priests to give non-liturgical, spontaneous blessings to same-sex couples. These are not marriages and not formal ceremonies. Recognition of “goodness” in these relationships. He emphasizes that the Church is beginning to acknowledge positive elements (love, commitment, faith) in same-sex couples. Change is gradual, not revolutionary. The Church is “moving,” but slowly. What may seem minor in Western countries is very controversial globally, especially in parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Pastoral shift driven by real people. The growing visibility of LGBTQ individuals (family members, parishioners) is pushing the Church to engage more compassionately and realistically.

Ice Age Farmer @iceagefarmer A fire has broken out at Western India’s largest oil refinery at Pachpadra, Balotra, ahead of its planned inauguration by PM Narendra Modi on 21th of April. The destruction of energy infrastructure is continuing and is quite blatant — they WANT you to know. Evil is BEGGING to be seen. This is the collective shadow seeking integration. The destruction grows by the day — time to start growing food and building your own systems.
