Following government directives, public Easter services in Dubai have been cancelled since Good Friday. The regime's excuse is that tensions in the Middle East are escalating. Dubai has two Catholic parishes - Saint Mary's and Saint Francis of Assisi in Jebel Ali. Both have confirmed the closures on their websites and will remain closed "until further notice". Saint Mary’s Church is one of the largest Catholic parishes in the world, with around 30,000 members, many of whom are Filipino workers. On Good Friday, many Catholics who had not been informed of the closure were seen praying outside on the pavement instead. Easter liturgies were only being streamed online. Bishop Paolo Martinelli, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia, acknowledged worshippers' disappointment at missing Holy Week celebrations. #newsAfvbsxvwah
10K views · 856 reactions | Happy Easter These wonderful depictions of the Easter story can be found in the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Little Easton, Essex. The church at Little Easton is a typical medieval estate church, being located right next to the Manor House. The church is filled with the memorials of the local landowning family. They restored the church in the 19th century, however, some older features survive - such as the wall paintings and some medieval monuments. I couldn’t find much about the exact origin of the enamel painted windows. But I think they definitely weren’t always located in the windows here at Little Easton, perhaps they came from the nearby Manor House or perhaps they were purchased from elsewhere in the 19th century by the lords of Manor for the church. Other windows by Baptista Sutton can be found at Middle Temple Hall in London and Abbot’s Hospital in Guildford. | Great British Architecture Happy Easter These wonderful depictions of the Easter …Zwiṅwe
1) The Remnant Church, Faithful to Jesus, will withstand all fiery persecution. a) Saint Mathew 16: 18; “I say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church and the gates of Hades will never prevail against it”. b) Daniel 12:1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not been since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.” c) Revelation 1:17-18: “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last, the Living One. I was dead, but now I am alive for ever and ever, and I hold the keys of Death and Hades.” d) Any plant that is not planted by My Father will be uprooted. 2) “The gates of Hades will never prevail”. Means; The Remnant Church will continue proclaiming the DEATH and RESURRECTION of Jesus under the fiery persecution of false prophet and antichrist until Jesus RETURNS: a) 1 Corinthians 11:24-26:…Zwiṅwe

@Jay Arr TARTARIA REVEALED: PUTIN UNLEASHES THE FORBIDDEN EMPIRE The world just changed forever. Russian President Vladimir Putin has declassified explosive Tartaria archives, unearthing a colossal empire that was systematically ERASED from global memory. The moment this happened, Western historians went silent — and for good reason. Tartaria wasn’t a myth. It was the largest empire on Earth, spanning from the Urals to Alaska, New Earth to Tibet. Its people weren’t savages — they were spiritually advanced, morally grounded, and technologically ahead of their time. They lived by virtue, honor, and ancestral power. Blue-eyed, red-haired warriors who valued family, justice, and the sacred bloodline. These were not primitive tribes. They were Slavic-Aryan titans. And now, their memory is being restored. The first edition of Encyclopedia Britannica (1771) called Tartaria a dominant force in northern Asia. But after the 18th century? It vanished — not by accident, but by design. Later …Zwiṅwe
Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, stood beside Pope Leo XIV during the Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing at St. Peter’s Basilica. A survivor of Communist persecution in Albania, he endured years of prison and forced labor. He is known for his fidelity to the Catholic faith and his attachment to traditional liturgy.
Catholic Cardinal Ernest Simoni - sympathetic to the Traditional Mass - alongside Leo XIV in the Urbi et Orbi blessing
The cardinal is, "sympathetic" to the traditional Mass? How about rather he states the truth; The traditional Mass is infinitely pleasing to God, the Novus Ordo has protestant errors within it and is therefore not.

The Passion of the Christ movie. This is an old episode of What Catholics Believe from 2004.
The Passion of the Christ movie. WCBOhio on Nov 14, 2015 This is an old episode of What Catholics Believe from 2004. It was recorded shortly after the release of Mel Gibson's film, "The Passion of the Christ". Due to poor picture quality the program was never shown. Hoping there may still be some interest in the discussion however, it was decided to salvage the footage by converting it to black and white and make the best of what was there. The audio is still quite good. The host was James Urling, a Cincinnati area attorney. At the time, What Catholics Believe was broadcast on Time-Warner cable, hence the running time to fit inside a half-hour slot (this is true of all the older series of shows). Also like all the older shows, this one too is small in format. This is due to the deprecated analog NTSC broadcast standards that were used at the time.
"I know many bishops, and almost all of them — mostly from Western Europe — tell me that they also want to ordain married men," said Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp in an interview with Katholisch.de on 2 April. In March, he announced his intention to ordain married men as priests by 2028. "I have not yet heard a Catholic bishop tell me, 'Even if the Pope gives me the possibility, I will not ordain married men.' They know this in Rome as well." Bishop Bonny worked in the Vatican for eleven years and is familiar with the different interests at play: "In Rome, they understand the situation here, and I know bishops and cardinals who support this solution, at least in Western Europe." He believes that the ordination of married men as priests is "a great necessity". "The consensus is there." Until the 1960s, a diocese such as Antwerp's had almost 1,500 active priests, as well as several hundred more who were retired. Now, the diocese has fewer than 100 priests, half of whom come from abroad. …Zwiṅwe
Many priests went from Antwerp to The Netherlands for their formation, because they didn't want to become social workers in Antwerp. Others went to France. Many were discouraged. At some time praying the rosary was prohibited in the Flemish seminary in Leuven. All conservative movements are discouraged or prohibited. The dioceses in Flanders constantly praise women rights, homosexuality and blaim the celibacy for ... And then you say there are no vocations, and you need to protestantisize the priesthood, in a paid job for married men (state paid in Belgium), and already hinting for woman priests.... But they cannot find men for the married diaconate. If you do not pray for priests, if you do not honour them, if you degrade the sacraments ... then go and do something else, mgr Bonny.
Facial expressions and body language are more revealing than the spin doctors’ narratives. Have you ever seen Trump like this before? US fighter jets shot down, oil prices skyrocketing, no support from NATO countries, allies pulling away... He didn’t see this coming.
What is wrong with this? The enemies CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post have begun covering a "mass" conversion to Catholicism. Any ideas?
Yes, you will continue to bomb schools, universities, hospitals, science centers, libraries, and truck drivers, shopping centers and towns and villages. Poisoning their water. Killing many innocent children and people. We know. Just like you and Israel did to Gaza! What goes around comes around. This man given to America as punishment for our sins. He is a disaster to the world. And he is going to bring all of us all down with him. But, it is GOD'S Will that he does this. So be it.

And isn't this the same apostate who wishes Muslims a Happy Ramadan? And who congratulates an Anglican heretic? And who allows himself to be subjected to the incantations of shamans? All while brazenly presenting himself as the pope of all false religions—and, moreover, demanding to be recognized as Pope.
