We don’t count the amount of words as though Mathematics it be. We read the words of the Pope, Vicar of Christ, with an open heart and understanding of the depth of his message. If you don’t understand the first time, read it until you do.

Peak Montreal right now. There’s nowhere like it.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: The city @Montreal was founded on May 14, 1642 by Paul de Chomedey, sieur (lord) de Maisonneuve

P.S. St Peter respects the integrity of: Moses, Elijah and the needful space for the growth of Church (yet to be realised). Now, nearly 2000 yrs later (anniversary 2033) we fail when we quote a text from early scripture without reference to its developed state in new scripture.

One thing I can say about Montréal: Canadiens fans absolutely bring it in the playoffs! It’s truly one of a kind - deafening noise & one of the most hostile to play in. The atmosphere at the Bell Centre is unbelievable🔥 #GoHabsGo    #StanleyCup

RT @VeritasLucia:

Israel llegó hasta aquí porque Occidente se lo permitió. Un día asesina periodistas en Líbano. Al siguiente, mata Cascos Azules. Luego aprueba la pena de muerte solo para palestinos. Nadie lo detuvo. Nadie lo sancionó. Bajo las ruinas de Gaza también quedó enterrado el derecho internacional.

Very good to see this. Very. We can do this. We can be principled and demand respect for human life without sacrificing either at the altar of “pragmatism” or “realism”. Canada calls for an independent investigation into the killing of 168 school kids in Iran 👇

Let’s be precise. Millions of Canadians are not paid 12 million dollars a year to lead a company that is legally bound by the Official Languages Act. That standard exists for a reason. It comes with the job. It is not optional. Framing this as a struggle of “ordinary Canadians versus elites” is simply not grounded in reality. In Ottawa, the vast majority of deputy ministers are Anglophone. In cabinet, francophone ministers have often presented in English. I do not recall many, if any, Anglophone ministers presenting in French. The imbalance you are pointing to is not where you suggest it is. This is not about sidelining anyone. It is about leadership and responsibility. Mr. Rousseau has lived in Quebec for two decades. His spouse is francophone. He leads a national carrier subject to federal law. He publicly committed years ago to learning French. After hundreds of hours of tutoring, in a moment that required dignity and respect, he could not deliver even a few sentences in the language of one of the victims and their family. That is not about control. That is about priority. And let’s be honest about the lived reality of this country. Francophones who move into majority Anglophone environments adapt quickly because they must. They do not have the luxury of opting out. That expectation has never been controversial. Yet when the expectation is reversed at the highest levels of leadership, it suddenly becomes a debate about fairness. It is not. Canada made a foundational choice. Two official languages. Not one and a half. Not when convenient. Not when it is easy. In moments of tragedy, language is not a technicality. It is how you show respect. It is how you honour people. It is how you lead. Reducing this to a question of control or elite pressure misses the point entirely and risks turning a matter of basic respect into an unnecessary division.

En anglais comme en français. To my friends in English Canada. The case of Mr. Rousseau is not an isolated case. It’s a pattern.

"Pope Francis was an ethical beacon for humanity, a reference for believers and non-believers alike due to his closeness, wisdom, and compassion, especially toward the most needy. We have perceived that same sensitivity once again in his successor, Leo XIV." King Felipe VI

Speaking against the backdrop of continuing conflict, death, displacement, and division, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem expresses his belief that truth must continue to be told about the ongoing war in the Middle East and that “God is with those who die in war, not with those who abuse His name.” vaticannews.va/en/church/new…

I never thought in my sixty-five years I would ever, ever be able to answer the question of how was it possible for Hitler to do what he did and society just went along with it? I’m now living through the exact same times -just different victims. Lord have mercy.

You never know what someone is going through. Prayers for you johnnyscholl46_

In the face of the many questions of the human heart, as well as tragic situations of injustice, violence and suffering that mark our time, our faith needs to be alert, attentive and prophetic. Faith should open our eyes to the darkness of the world, and bring others the light of the Gospel through our commitment to peace, justice and solidarity.

We've seen this scene many times before. We know how it goes. Lebanon will be required to commit to everything and Israel to nothing. And when it suits Israel to recommence hostilities, Israel will allege that Lebanon has broken its commitments.

JEFFREY SACHS: “Israel's doctrine is k*ll its adversaries. K*ll them in mass numbers, k*ll the civilians, k*ll the women, k*ll the children. They don't discriminate between civilians and military targets. They leveled Gaza... It is a rogue, brutal regime...”

Catholics do not support this war

IRAN 🇮🇷 An Ayatollah has penned an open letter to Pope Leo XIV, calling for the pope to advise US leaders to end the war underway in the Middle East On March 5th, Ayatollah Seyed Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad Ahmadabadi wrote: 'As the first Pope from the United States, Your Holiness possesses a unique and historic opportunity to speak to the conscience of Western leadership. Given the deep Christian faith often professed by these leaders, your voice carries a weight that transcends traditional diplomacy. ​Therefore, we respectfully request that Your Holiness, by reminding [the American leadership] of the teachings of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)—the Prince of Peace—guide them so that they refrain from committing such acts and that no more human blood be shed upon the earth. ​Religion must never be a tool for war, but a balm for the wounds of the world. I pray that through your intervention, the "law of force" may be replaced by the "force of law" and the spirit of reconciliation'
