The idea that a soon to be retiring prefect is trying to force the Roman Pontiff to adopt his position might be the biggest case of cope I've seen yet.Sponsored by Nelson Insurance Advisorshttps://www.nelsonplan.comSources:https://substack.com/@returntotradition1Contact Me:Email: return2catholictradition@gmail.comSupport My Work:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/AnthonyStineSubscribeStarhttps://www.subscribestar.net/return-to-traditionBuy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/AnthonyStinePhysical Mail:Anthony StinePO Box 3048Shawnee, OK74802Follow me on the following social media:https://www.facebook.com/ReturnToCatholicTradition/https://twitter.com/pontificatormax+JMJ+#popeleoXIV #catholicism #catholicchurch #catholicprophecy#infiltration

I sat down with human rights advocate Benedict Rogers to examine the Vatican's controversial agreement with the CCP, the persecution of China's underground Church, the crackdown in Hong Kong, and the ongoing allegations of forced organ harvesting. We also discuss what Catholics—and all people of goodwill—can do to stand with those suffering under communist repression.

We look at the mysterious story of how the third secret was commandeered by The Vatican from the third volume of The Whole Truth About Fatima.Please support the Our Lady of Fatima Podcast: http://buymeacoffee.com/TerenceMStantonLike and subscribe on YouTube:https://m.youtube.com/@OurLadyOfFatimaPodcastFollow us on X:@FatimaPodcastThank you!

As humans increasingly turn to AI for moral guidance and answers to life's biggest questions, the lines between technology and religion are blurring—even leading some in Silicon Valley to wonder if AI might have a spiritual life of its own or be destined to change the world's religious landscape. What does the impulse to see a god in the machine reveal about our enduring hunger for meaning, belonging, and spiritual growth?Dave explores these questions and more with psychologist Paul Bloom, author Elizabeth Oldfield, and theologian Paolo Benanti in a discussion recorded live at the 2026 Aspen Ideas Festival.Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and the Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He's also the author of seven books, including his latest “Psych: The Story of the Human Mind.” Elizabeth Oldfield hosts “The Sacred” podcast, dedicated to conversations about being human, finding wisdom, building a more tolerant society, and what spirituality and religion might offer in answer to those questions. She is also the author of Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times.Paolo Benanti is a professor of moral philosophy at Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome and a professor of technology ethics at Seattle University. A Franciscan priest and leading global voice on AI ethics, he advises the Vatican on emerging technologies and the rise of generative AI and chatbots.

Pope Leo XIV met publicly with Anglican leader Sarah Mullally, accepting her blessing and addressing her according to episcopal protocol. Anthony Stine argues the gesture was not merely ecumenical. It has potentially serious legal and ecclesial consequences.Stine contends that by treating Mullally as a legitimate archbishop, the Vatican has unintentionally strengthened arguments from European activists who claim the Catholic Church's all-male priesthood constitutes unlawful gender discrimination. American legal protections for religious autonomy do not exist in Europe, where equality laws are increasingly applied to religious institutions. France and the European Union present a particularly vulnerable legal environment.Stine argues that debates over the SSPX, the Latin Mass, Marian doctrine, and recent Vatican documents are not about liturgical preferences, they are about preserving Catholic doctrine itself. He points to Cardinal Fernández's published writings as evidence of a deeper theological problem.Find Anthony Stine here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ReturnToTraditionMake the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIALU.S. residents!

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Kingdom Life Over Democracy: Repentance, Authority, and the Word That Rules Forever Ep230 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 128: Tony Alamo continues How to Have God's Life Living in You with gospel music, international listener letters, ministry updates, doctrinal teaching, warnings about rebellion and false authority, and a call for listeners to repent, receive Christ, and live under the kingdom of heaven rather than the changing laws of man. Gospel Music, Ministry History, and a Call to Repentance In this Tony Alamo program, How to Have God's Life Living in You — Part 128, Tony Alamo opens Program 230 with a recorded song and references to Gary S. Paxton, Kris Kristofferson, and the ministry's earlier television history. He recalls the ministry's work with hippies on Hollywood Boulevard, its broadcasts from Los Angeles and other locations, and his belief that God called the ministry to preach repentance and the kingdom of heaven. The corrected transcript notes that claims, religious opinions, political statements, accusations, and doctrinal assertions are preserved as speaker statements and were not independently verified. Letters From Italy, Angola, India, and Zimbabwe A major part of the episode features Sharon reading listener letters from Italy, Angola, India, and Zimbabwe. These correspondents thank the ministry for literature, ask for Bibles and teaching materials, describe missionary needs, and report that Tony Alamo's newsletters and broadcasts are influencing people in their communities. Tony responds by emphasizing the ministry's reported international outreach, the need for gospel workers, and the importance of supplying Bibles, literature, tapes, concordances, food, clothing, water, and other practical support to people he describes as strong Christians in desperate conditions. Africa, Missions, and Practical Ministry Support Tony spends extended time discussing Africa after the Angola letter, describing needs for clean water, toilets, food, medicine, clothing, gospel literature, and missionary assistance. He says the ministry has purchased water tanks, tools, and supplies while looking for ways to provide drinking water and support evangelism. He contrasts what he presents as real missionary work with televised prosperity-style preaching, arguing that genuine Christians in poorer regions are not asking for luxury, but for Bibles, food, water, and the means to spread the gospel. These claims should remain framed as Tony's ministry statements rather than independently verified reporting. Warnings About Judgment, Nations, and End-Time Deception The episode then shifts into a more confrontational sermon on judgment, Scripture, government, war, disease, media, and religious institutions. Tony references Matthew 24, Judges 13, the Philistines, Israel, Rome, the United Nations, the Vatican, presidents, terrorism, Waco, the World Trade Center, and other controversial topics. He uses these themes to argue that when people or nations reject God's Word, God may turn them over to wicked authorities or destructive consequences. Because the transcript flags historical, political, medical, legal, and religious claims for verification, these sections should be treated strictly as Tony's statements and doctrinal assertions. Democracy Versus the Kingdom of Heaven The central theological contrast is between democracy and the kingdom of heaven. Tony argues that democracy allows people to assert their own opinions and change laws, while the kingdom of heaven requires submission to God's unchanging Word. He teaches that God's laws cannot be voted on, revised, or protested, and he links rebellion against divine authority to Adam and Eve's original sin. In his view, believers must leave the mindset of worldly democracy and begin thinking, speaking, and living as citizens of the kingdom of God. Authority, Rebellion, and the Bible as the Standard Sharon reads teaching material about humanity's resistance to being ruled, the sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve, and God's ultimate authority. Tony responds by arguing that true authority belongs to God and to those who preach the gospel, not to governments or institutions that oppose the Bible. He challenges common interpretations of authority in Scripture, rejects reincarnation, describes demonic influence as the explanation for certain spiritual phenomena, and insists that Christians must judge all things according to God's Word. The Bible remains the controlling standard for his message, and obedience to it is presented as the only path away from rebellion. Salvation Prayer and Closing Invitation Tony closes by telling listeners that they need to understand the kingdom-of-heaven life, turn away from the world's systems, and come to Christ. He presents Jesus as loving, saving, and able to give rest to those who are burdened. The episode ends with a salvation prayer in which listeners are led to confess sin, affirm belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and God come in the flesh, believe in His resurrection, invite Him into the heart, and thank Him for saving the soul. Sharon then gives ministry contact information for receiving Program 230 on CD or audio tape, and the broadcast closes with another recorded song.

Should the American Pope debate the American president about good and evil? The shameless Trump, one suspects, would relish a noisy cage match with a rival American celebrity. But Leo XIV has quietly declined the invitation — a refusal that the Catholic scholar Jack Hanson insists is neither cowardice nor convenience. Rather, as Hanson argues in this month's Harper's cover story, “Radical Reformation,” it's because the church has become the last global institution able to provide a coherent moral compass for our rootless times. The great irony, Hanson notes, is that the church was the first victim of the legitimacy conflagration now engulfing every other institution. His history begins in 1870, when Rome lost the Papal States and, for the first time in a millennium, had no earthly kingdom to defend. Ever since, the church has been reorienting itself — lately, against political, economic and military power. That opposition to worldly power was always a strand within the apostolic tradition, Hanson reminds us. Thus the Gospel's “antinomian communists” who stayed behind in plague cities, Thomas More's attack on private property, the 1891 Rerum Novarum, Dorothy Day, liberation theology. What's new is that the Vatican itself has embraced this political tradition of questioning Caesar. Then came 9/11. In the war on terror, Hanson argues, the secular West redefined its enemy not as a rival religion but as religion itself — and the church stopped being Western civilization's moral crown jewel. John Paul II's opposition to the Iraq War was a preview. Leo XIV's 40,000-word encyclical on AI — Magnifica Humanitas, complete with an apology for the church's role in slavery — is a more mature realization of this radical reformation. No wonder, then, that Leo has no interest in a cage match with Trump. “A direct debate with a president who's going to be out of office in a couple of years isn't in his interest. It's too small a task,” Hanson explains. As the latest in a very long line of God's representatives on earth, Leo is playing the long game. He can afford to wait out a noisy Caesar or two. Five Takeaways •       The Last Moral Voice. Institutional legitimacy — of churches, states, the organs of governance and community — is in free fall, and the great historical irony, Hanson argues, is that the Catholic Church was the first institution to face that crisis. When Rome lost the Papal States in 1870, it lost a thousand years of political centrality and has been reorienting itself ever since. Over the last twenty years, the church has ceased to see the West as its spiritual home and reconfigured itself as a genuinely global institution — positioned, almost paradoxically, against power as such. Which is how the paragon of institutional crisis has returned as maybe the last moral voice on the global stage.•       The Radical Tradition Was Always There. The subversive strain Hanson traces runs from the Gospel itself — the early Christians as “antinomian communists” who held everything in common and stayed behind in plague cities — through Thomas More's attack on the enclosures (the first great critique of private property in Western history), Leo XIII's 1891 Rerum Novarum, Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker, and Latin American liberation theology. Hanson doesn't flinch from the two Thomas Mores problem — the property radical was also a persecutor of heretics — because the church is full of sinners; you wouldn't need one otherwise. What's new is that the Vatican itself now orients toward the radical tradition rather than serving as the avatar of institutional power.•       9/11 Drove the Wedge. For most of the twentieth century the secular West treated the church as a civilizational feather in its cap. The war on terror changed that: the enemy was recast not as a rival religion but as religion as such — the new atheism was its rhetorical arm — and John Paul II's vociferous opposition to the Iraq War marked the rupture. Beneath it all, the secularization thesis (societies modernize, therefore secularize) had collapsed, its death usually dated to Iran in 1979. Reason and faith, Hanson argues, are far more intertwined than the twentieth century assumed — and, not coincidentally, the church and the left hit their historical nadirs together and are now showing signs of life together.•       Magnifica Humanitas: Arguing with the Machines. Leo XIV's 40,000-word encyclical on AI and humanity is remarkable, Hanson suggests, less for its conclusions than for its method: reasoned, humane argument addressed to people of all goodwill, in an age of universal bombast — from a leader with no personal stake in the outcome. It includes an apology for the church's involvement in slavery, an acknowledgment that the church itself once practiced the exclusionary humanism it now warns against. While subway billboards advise companies to “stop hiring human beings,” the church's real power, Hanson argues, is the legitimation of popular dissent: since Vatican II redefined the church as the People of God, the pope's voice works by inspiring people to find their own.•       Too Small a Task. Was the American pope elected to counter the American president? “His name wasn't mentioned once,” a conclave cardinal insisted — a denial Andrew files next to Casablanca's “shocked, shocked.” Either way, Leo refuses a direct debate with Trump, and Hanson insists this is the harder path, not the easier one: the pope aims to beat Trump on a higher register, shaping consciences in America and across the globe rather than winning a news cycle against a president who'll be gone in a couple of years. As for the evangelical prosperity gospel wing of MAGA: essentially in schism, Hanson says — not much to do with historical Christianity, politically or theologically. About the Guest Jack Hanson received his PhD in religious studies from Yale in 2024 and has taught there.

Back in May, the Vatican released an encyclical offering criticism on AI and its use. Now, stances on AI have always included scrutiny, but from such an official body, it alights a new question among the workforce who's faith or livelihoods have disparities with AI; can they be exempt from using it, and do employers have to comply? On today's episode of HR Works, we're joined by Emily Scace, senior legal editor for Brightmine, to discuss the potential future of exemptions, religious and otherwise, growing in the face of AI.

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the defining masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, but its creation was equally defined by friction as much as genius. This episode follows Michelangelo's turbulent relationship with Pope Julius II, from the abrupt cancellation of the pope's monumental tomb commission to the unlikely assignment of painting the chapel's vast ceiling. We explore how Michelangelo transformed the project into an ambitious visual narrative and testament of divinely inspired artistic genius.We examine how his revolutionary approach to anatomy, composition, and artistic invention, exemplified in The Creation of Adam, forever changed the course of Renaissance painting. Follow/Watch/Learn: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Michelangelo, Pietà, 1499 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0_(Michelangelo)Michelangelo, Tomb of Pope Julius II (unfinished), 1505-1545 https://www.wga.hu/html_m/m/michelan/1sculptu/giulio_2/giulio2.htmlMichelangelo, Sistine Chapel Ceiling, 1508-1512 https://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/collezioni/musei/cappella-sistina/volta.htmlThe Florentine Renaissance CourseSupport the show

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna interviews Devan Patel, a lawyer and strategist who collaborates with multi-faith communities on technology, policy, and ethics. The discussion centers on the intersection of artificial intelligence, human dignity, and religious communities, particularly focusing on the Vatican's forward-looking involvement in the AI discourse. Patel shares details about the newly released papal encyclical Magnifica Humanitas issued by Pope Leo XIV, which addresses the safeguarding of human dignity in the age of AI. Drawing historical parallels to Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, which responded to the Industrial Revolution, the conversation explores how various global faith leaders are universally responding to the risks of AI—such as companion chatbots affecting youth—and how the Vatican's receptive, human-centric framework provides a welcome platform for collaborative, cross-disciplinary dialogue on technology's future.

it and opened it, a secret letter appeared among the yellowed pages.It: "Guarda, Marco," disse Luca, mostrando la scoperta al suo amico.En: “Look, Marco,” said Luca, showing his discovery to his friend.It: Marco, con un cenno, mostrò il suo scetticismo abituale.En: Marco, with a nod, displayed his usual skepticism.It: "Un'altra caccia ai fantasmi, eh?" disse Marco, ma il sorriso complice

codice resisteva come una fortezza inespugnabile.En: They spent hours in solemn quiet, deciphering words and symbols, but the code resisted like an impregnable fortress.It: Il direttore della

once more, they proceeded swiftly.It: Alla fine, un'esclamazione sorpresa sfuggì a Luca.En: In the end, a surprised exclamation escaped Luca.It: Aveva letto la verità nascosta nel codice: era una prova di un accordo segreto tra due antichi imperi, capace di riscrivere i libri di storia.En: He had uncovered the truth hidden in the code: it was evidence of a secret agreement between two ancient empires, capable of rewriting the history books.It: In quel momento, il direttore entrò nella stanza.En: At that moment, the director entered the room.It: Vide la lettera decifrata e, invece di arrabbiarsi, il suo sguardo si addolcì.En: He saw the deciphered letter and, instead of getting angry, his expression softened.It: "Forse avete scoperto qualcosa di grande," riconobbe.En: “Perhaps you

Some believe that the Vatican is keeping hidden ancient esoteric knowledge from Mexico in its vast vaults and libraries.

Welcome to Vatican insider on a special weekend – special for me as I'm spending it in Castelgandolfo where, among other things, I intend to be at the Angelus on Sunday with Pope Leo who will be spending his last full day of vacation in the Apostolic Palace. He returns to Rome on Monday, July 27. For the past several weeks, as you know, in the interview segment of VI, I've been offering specials on the history of the Apostolic palace in Castelgandolfo as well as the very celebrated Vatican observatory, although the observatory officially in use now is on mount Graham in Tucson, Arizona. This weekend, especially for those of you currently visiting Rome or who will be here in coming months, I offer another special I've prepared on the scavi, the excavations in the Vatican that bring you to the tomb of Saint Peter which, as it happens, in a magnificent architectural calculation, is directly under the center of the papal altar in Saint Peter's Basilica which, if one were to drop a plumb line, is directly under the very center of the basilica's dome!

MANAGER OF A MASSIVE CULTURAL LEGACY. Barbara Jatta is an Italian art historian and the Director of the Vatican Museums. Appointed by Pope Francis in 2017, she made history as the first woman ever to lead the prestigious institution. A highly respected expert in the history of drawing, engraving, and graphic arts, before her directorship she built a long career at the Vatican, notably serving as the head of the prints department at the Vatican Apostolic Library. As Director, she manages a massive cultural legacy that spans 7 miles of exhibit space, including the Sistine Chapel and a huge collection of artifacts. Her leadership focuses heavily on conservation, education, and modernising visitor experiences across the Vatican's various museums and galleries. "While the Vatican Museums are the museums of Popes and of the present Pope, we take care of worldwide and universal collections and it is our responsibility to share them with our visitors." "We have tried to make people understand that the Vatican Museums have so much more to offer beyond Raphael and Michelangelo." "It is extremely important to offer our visitors a journey to the collections which is not only artistical or historical but also spiritual." https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/barbara-jatta/

After a near-death experience, Kate Clinch became drawn into the astonishing, Gothic story of a young Australian woman named Eileen O'Connor, who is buried under the floorboards of a home in Coogee.Kate was working as a GP in country South Australia when an ectopic pregnancy nearly killed her.She had a vivid near death experience, which prompted her to start interrogating inexplicable and miraculous events.Kate hadn't grown up Catholic, or even religious, but years after her near death experience, she was drawn into the story of a young Australian saint-in-waiting named Eileen O'Connor.Eileen lived in Sydney at the turn of the 20th century.She lived with profound physical disabilities, standing at only 115cm tall, but somehow she managed to head up a group of nurses who delivered free medical care to people living in the slums of Sydney.Eileen's story is an astounding collection of ups and downs - suffering, tragedy, a scandalous relationship with a young priest, threats of excommunication, a wartime sea voyage to Rome and a meeting with the Pope.And she is currently being scrutinised by the Vatican for possible canonisation, which would make Eileen Australia's second saint.Every Inch a Saint is published by Monkfish.Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor has been caring for the sick and disadvantaged in their own homes for more than 100 years. You can read more about the religious order and the lay nurses who work with the nuns - colloquially known as the Brown Nurses - online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores spirituality, dying, sickness, religion, faith, Christianity, Catholic Church, World War One, Spanish Influenza, TB, Tuberculosis, history, Australian history, nuns, priests, scandal, people living with disability, sainthood, miracles, near death experiences, metaphysical experiences, motherhood, doctoring, medicine, modern medicine, x-rays, medical history, resilience, divinity, holy, the divine, sainthood, how does someone become a saint, what is a miracle, living with disability, spinal deformity, grief, death.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Brenda Fricker became the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award for her performance in the film “My Left Foot”. She began her career with parts in Ireland's first soap opera Tolka Row, ITV's Coronation Street, and became a household name as the nurse Megan Roach in Casualty on the BBC. Her friend and fellow actress Anna Friel pays tribute.The BBC's long-serving correspondent David Willey was a renowned authority on the Vatican, covering the lives and deaths of five popes. Before he settled in Rome, David had travelled widely for the BBC, reporting from Algeria, the Vietnam War and China just after the communist revolution. Two of his colleagues, former Chief News Correspondent Kate Adie and International Editor Jeremy Bowen, share their memories of working with him.The name David Austin is forever indelibly associated with the rose growing business. He created some of the most sought after roses, naming new varieties after fictional or real-life people, including Gabriel Oak from Far From the Madding Crowd, the actress Dame Judi Dench and ceramicist Emma Bridgewater - who pays tribute to him alongside Gardeners' World presenter Sue Kent.Wally Funk broke records as the oldest person to go to space onboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Rocket in 2021. In the early 1960s she was part of a group of women known as the Mercury 13 who were tested to see if they could compete with male astronauts for a place in the American space programme. But the project was abandoned and her hopes dashed. Loretta Hall, who co-wrote her memoir, tells us her story.

In this special edition of From Our Own Correspondent, we remember BBC Correspondent David Willey, who reported from around the world for more than half a century, and who died recently.David was a prolific contributor to this programme throughout his life and was still writing for the programme into his 93rd year. In an interview recorded last year for the ‘From Our Own Correspondent at 70' programme, David tells Today presenter Anna Foster about his early travels reporting from around the world from Libya to China, as well as his long-time role as BBC Vatican Correspondent. This podcast also features some of his most memorable dispatches, including a report on troop morale in Vietnam in the 1970s, a lavish party thrown by Colonel Gadaffi in Libya in 2009 to mark his 40th year in power; insights from inside the Vatican amid the ‘Vatileaks' scandal of 2012; and recollections from 2023 about when he first met Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi at his estate near Milan, where he got a private tour of the billionaire businessman's private mausoleum.

Can technology be leveraged for the human good? Or will AI technology and its explosive expansion bring about the opposite—a culture that reduces our magnificent humanity to means for technocratic ends? "We can either create the Tower of Babel or we can rebuild the walls of the New Jerusalem." Brian Patrick Green has spent his career asking these difficult questions and seeking to apply ethical theory to real world technological developments. He is director of technology ethics at Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, and he is co-author of "Encountering Artificial Intelligence" as well as the newly released "Reclaiming Human Agency in the Age of Artificial Intelligence." In this episode, Green explains the technocratic paradigm—the worldview that reduces people and the created world to raw material, data, and units of production, and sets against it what Pope Francis called a culture of encounter. He and Mark Labberton discuss the argument and impact of Pope Leo XIV's May 2026 encyclical on artificial intelligence, "Magnifica Humanitas", an uplifting moral appeal to troubled people in troubled times. They discuss the Eucharist and the ongoing incarnation as the anchor of Catholic social teaching; how technocratic thinking distorts immigration and war from the Marshall Islands to autonomous drones in Ukraine; just war theory in an age of ever more powerful weapons; the encyclical's principles from human dignity to solidarity; and where AI genuinely serves the vulnerable in medicine, in surfacing hidden bias, and in caring for the Earth. Episode Highlights "It's one thing to have new technology. It's an even bigger question of how we actually use it and how it actually affects people." "If we look at every other human being and we say, "This is an image of God in front of me. This is a person who is loved by God just as much as I am," that really transforms our way of viewing each other. "We can either create the Tower of Babel or we can rebuild the walls of the New Jerusalem. "If one grain of sand says to the other grain of sand, 'I'm better than you are,' that's a weird thing for sand to be saying to each other." "It's an encyclical about AI ostensibly, but really it's an encyclical about humanity … and what our role is here in the universe." About Brian Patrick Green Brian Patrick Green directs technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, where he teaches engineers to weigh the human stakes of their work. A former genetics major, he turned toward technology's social impact after a year with the Jesuit Volunteers International in the Marshall Islands, a landscape marked by nuclear testing. He earned his doctorate at the Graduate Theological Union and has focused on AI since 2016. He co-authored "Encountering Artificial Intelligence: Ethical and Anthropological Investigations" and the new "Reclaiming Human Agency in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," and advises Catholic and multi-faith AI efforts, including at the Vatican.

Against such reductions, the Pope urges that we cultivate a "culture of encounter"—a culture that seeks the contact of mind with mind and heart with heart, in a relational sharing of life that embraces the most vulnerable."

Sister Dede Byrne has witnessed death from both sides, as a physician and as a religious sister. She has sat with the dying, prayed with the suffering, and watched souls pass from this world to the next. Her message is urgent: the final days of life are spiritually invaluable and should never be intentionally shortened.Speaking in the shadow of the Archdiocese of Chicago's new suicide memorial and the growing acceptance of euthanasia and assisted suicide, Sister Dede insists that mercy is real, but presumption is dangerous. "From the saddle to the ground, mercy is sought, and mercy is found," she quotes, emphasizing that Christ offers every person a final opportunity to choose Him. But no one can definitively judge the state of a soul at death. That belongs to God alone.The interview turns to the crisis within the Church: SSPX excommunications, the Vatican's relationship with China, the Synod on Synodality, and debates over homosexuality and the Latin Mass. Sister Dede acknowledges the confusion but rejects despair. The faithful response is not outrage; it is prayer, the sacraments, and fidelity to Christ. She points to Fatima and the Blessed Virgin Mary's promise of triumph, urging believers to "pray, pray, pray" and remain steadfast.The crisis is real. But the triumph is certain. Sister Dede calls on Catholics to hold the line, not with anger, but with hope.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!
