Another Protestant sect, then.
His Grace is a valuable reminder of the fallibility of bishops.

I've ordered the book by Brother Lawrence. I'm a simple man, when the Pope says something is worth reading, I read it.
Shameful.
The Holy Father is still watching you.
Iโll pray for them.
Bought a set of rosary beads last week. To an Orthodox used to saying the Jesus Prayer, the rosary seems very complicated. Will do my best.
(I know Iโll canonically be Eastern Catholic, but I see nothing wrong with making room for some Latin devotions in my prayer life.)
As Pope telegrams condolences in wake of first Catholic Church mass shooting in US, a reminder that in 2017 amid largest mass shooting in modern history in Las Vegas, Leo, aka โRobert Prevostโ endorsed Sandy Hook Senatorโs tweet: โyour cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers.โ

This is horrific. When a person goes to a priest for help and this happens, it should be an automatic entry into Heaven. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on the victim and his family, and give him rest among the saints. ๐
Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait un cardinal qui s'appelait 23. ๐

My path to Christ included time spent as a Bahรกโรญ. While I ultimately left, I can testify that the Bahรกโรญs I knew were good people who genuinely wanted to make the world a better place. They donโt deserve what the Iranian government has done to them, and is doing to them.
"War is always a defeat!" #PopeFrancis
I know the Eastern version in both English and Greek:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, Amen.

At a time when it seems like the world has lost its mind, Iโm finding a great deal of hope and inspiration from the Catholic accounts I follow here. Thank you and God bless you all. ๐โ๏ธ
"Each person can be a builder of unity with his attitudes towards colleagues, overcoming inevitable misunderstandings with patience, with humility, putting himself in the in the shoes of others, avoiding prejudices, and also with a good dose of humor (5-24-25)." #PopeLeoXIV
May his memory be eternal!
Today is the feast day of St. Matthias; I am struck by the parallels between the Apostles electing St. Matthias to join their number after Judas' betrayal, and how the College of Cardinals elect the new Pope after the death of an incumbent - and the work of the Holy Spirit in both.
Vicar of Christ
Pope Leo XIV, alone in prayer in the Pauline Chapel, just before stepping onto the main loggia of St. Peterโs Basilica to greet the world for the first time.
I met Pope Leo XIV in Rome when he was Prior General of the Augustinians. I found him to be a warm, kind-hearted, peaceful man. The church is in good hands!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on Thy servant, the new Pope.
Quite a moving powerful photo. An Eastern Orthodox Bishop pays his respects at Pope Francisโ tomb in St. Mary Major Basilica this week.
When I see things like that I always remember, "Put not your trust in princes, in sons of men, in whom there is no salvation."
Hello, world. Iโm a lapsed Orthodox convert finding myself drawn back to the Church via Rome. Please pray for me. ๐
