2/ A few weeks ago, La Repubblica reported that Leo would not be sleeping in his predecessors' bedroom, but in newly created spaces. Pope Francis never lived in the apostolic palace. He stayed during his whole pontificate in Casa Santa Marta, a Vatican guesthouse.

1/ This afternoon, Pope Leo XIV will take possession of the apartment in the Apostolic Palace, "moving in with his closest collaborators". The Vatican announced this, though without specifying which spaces the Pope will actually use himself. >>>

In 2016, Pope Francis decided that no other Vatican euro coins would be issued bearing his portrait. He did not want to appear on money. Now, almost a year after his death, the Vatican is nevertheless issuing a two-euro coin showing Pope Francis from behind at the moment he opens the Holy Door.

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat
A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.
De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Im deutschen Katholizismus neigt man gern zur Selbstüberschätzung. ;-) Zumehr weil Leo XIV kein/kaum Deutsch liest. Ich würde eher an den Einfluss von Kard. José Tolentino de Mendonça denken (siehe meinen Beitrag auf Substack). Er ist der große Etty-Spezialist im Vatikan und steht Leo XIV nahe.

‘Trump gaat deze oorlog nóóit winnen’, weet schrijver Kader Abdolah. ‘Hij begrijpt Iran niet’ - Nederlands Dagblad. De kwaliteitskrant van christelijk Nederland

Veel Iraniërs vierden feest toen de bommen op Teheran vielen. Hoewel schrijver Kader Abdolah het Iraanse regime haat, voelt hij zich door de aanval juist bedrogen. ‘De ayatollahs zullen de regio meesleuren in hun val.’

Iran is het grootste land waar het sjiisme dominant is, wat is deze stroming binnen de islam? - Nederlands Dagblad. De kwaliteitskrant van christelijk Nederland

Binnen Iran is een andere stroming van de islam dominant dan in de meeste andere islamitische landen. Dit verschil wordt vaak aangehaald om spanningen in het Midden-Oosten te duiden.
