"Fun Church" in Holy Week: Fr. Simon Teller, O.P., published a video on March 29 about the different ways people use palms on Palm Sunday. The examples include the deconstructionist, the artist, the hoarder, the tickler, the sword fighter, and the panda mode. Fr. Teller is a chaplain at Providence College in the United States.
By now nearly everyone knows about this scandal and we have not heard a sound Catholic reaction from any high ranking clerics of our Church. Instead it is as if we have omertà ruling rather than Truth.
I use thecradlemedia telegram channel sometimes. There are many others. Here are some other related news from recently. Phony israel passed a law today to kill all Palestinians in prison. Israeli soldiers are holding prayers asking for mercy from Iran. 1000s of disenchanted israelis are taking refuge in Sinai. The number of dead or injured US soldiers are in the thousands. Hezbollah has destroyed over 100 Merkava tanks. Iran is hitting American bases in Syria. Soon it will become easier to believe the likely theory that the assassination attempt on Trump was staged compared to what denials are coming forth from this administration. Now back to GTV kumbaya posts.
For the record, Iran claims they did not launch this attack and that this was a false-flag attack launched by Israel. Telegram: Contact @thecradlemedia

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israeli authorities to grant Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusal “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He reversed an earlier decision after Israeli police blocked the Cardinal and few other priests from entering the holy site during Palm Sunday celebrations. The disproportionate restriction triggered strong international criticism from political leaders. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog personally apologized to the Cardinal following the incident. The video below shows the empty, silent streets of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, devoid of the procession, olive and palm branches, and the cheers of the faithful. #newsOnyraezrlx
The streets are void the article says. Hmm, no processions, no faithful equals no tourism. No tourism equals no money. Hotels, restaurants, shops, all are empty.
This is how the streets of Jerusalem looked during this year’s Palm Sunday procession! Silent, empty of olive and palm branches and the faithful’s cheers
A Lifetime of Faith Meets a Historic Moment | Shalom World News After forty-five years of faithful service as chaplain to Monaco’s princes, Father César Penzo stood as both witness and pilgrim in a moment etched in grace. As Pope Leo made his historic visit, he joined in the sacred rhythm of the Mass, his decades of devotion gathering in that single hour. And at its close, in a fleeting yet profound encounter, he met the Holy Father—an exchange where time, faith, and quiet joy seemed to gently embrace.

On 24 March, a court in Privas, France, delivered its verdict in the case of Father Bernard Domini and the Catholic community Famille Missionnaire de Notre Dame (FMND). The case raises wider questions about religious freedom and new legal standards in France. Following a two-year investigation, the case centred on allegations of "abuse of vulnerability" and 2psychological subjection" brought by five former members of the community. The community has approximately 160 members. The charges did not involve allegations of sexual abuse, physical violence or financial misconduct, but instead focused on the community's internal practices and discipline. In its ruling, the court issued ten decisions, resulting in seven acquittals and three convictions. Father Bernard was convicted on one count and acquitted on four others, while the FMND was convicted on two counts. The punishments handed down were relatively lenient: a six-month suspended sentence for Father Bernard and a €25,000 fine for the …Ebisinga
Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.” “Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”
Nach heftiger Kritik Kardinal erhält doch Zugang zu Grabeskirche Eine Zugangssperre für Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa zur Grabeskirche in der Jerusalemer Altstadt hat am Sonntag für Aufsehen gesorgt. Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche im Heiligen Land wollte dort die Palmsonntag-Messe feiern, wurde jedoch von der israelischen Polizei angehalten und zur Umkehr aufgefordert. Dieser Vorfall sorgte für heftige Kritik. Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu ruderte nun zurück und ordnete an, dass Pizzaballa „sofortigen“ Zugang zur Kirche erhalten solle. Online seit heute, 7.21 Uhr Netanjahu führte Sicherheitsbedenken als Grund für die ursprüngliche Maßnahme an: „In den vergangenen Tagen hat der Iran wiederholt die heiligen Stätten aller drei monotheistischen Religionen in Jerusalem mit Marschflugkörpern ins Visier genommen. Bei einem Angriff schlugen Raketensplitter wenige Meter von der Grabeskirche entfernt ein.“ Zum Schutz der Gläubigen habe Israel Menschen aller …Ebisinga

Vice President JD Vance: “My advice to young men who are thinking about becoming fathers who are about to have babies is, you're never ready” “It will be shocking. It will be crazy. It will be the most difficult and the most rewarding thing that you’ve ever done.” "I would do it all again; in fact, I have one regret, it's a slight regret. I wish we had started early and had more” Don’t wait until everything is “Perfect” to have kids. Children are what perfects life.

Think about that. Iran hides nothing while Israel and bibi not only hide what's going on there, but people are jailed for posting online. Iran has not hid anything from anyone so far. Which tells me, they are more trustworthy than both trump and bibi.
The Church is “nothing without God” and exists to save souls and nourish them through the sacraments, Cardinal Robert Sarah, 80, told CNews on March 27. When speaking about the Church’s problems, Sarah avoids naming individuals. Throughout the interview, he uses only broad categories - "we," "people," - and shifts the blame onto modern culture and ideas such as relativism, rupture, and innovation. His consistent rhetorical strategy is to use passive and "we". The Church: Not an NGO His basic argument is that the Church cannot be reduced to a humanitarian, political, or sociological institution: "God must truly be placed at the center of our existence, at the center of our life, at the center of our concerns." And: "If we detach the Church from this mission… the Church is useless." Liturgy as Battlefield Cardinal Sarah mentions Leo XIV only briefly and in an almost deferential way when describing the liturgical crisis. "I understand that the Pope is concerned about this liturgical unity …Ebisinga
Isaiah 42:1-7 “formed you, and set you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations.” This text foreshadows the presence of Jesus in the world. It can also challenge us. The covenant God makes with us is to fill us with his grace. Let us share his grace by helping people discover joy in their lives. John 12:1-11 “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus.” When a person welcomes God’s love, their heart overflows with the sweet fragrance of love. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
