PALM SUNDAY: POPE FRANCIS CALLS FOR GLOBAL COMPASSION DURING CRISES

Pope Francis, still recovering from illness, urged Christians to carry each other’s crosses — not just their own — as wars and disasters scar the globe.

He named Sudan, where civil war nears its two-year mark, and prayed for peace in Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, DRC, Myanmar, and South Sudan.

In a rare Palm Sunday message, he asked: Can we see the Lord in the faces of those marred by war and deprivation?

The Pope’s homily, read by Cardinal Sandri, marked a powerful moment of moral clarity as global conflicts escalate and humanitarian crises deepen.

🚨🇺🇸 L.A. COUNTY TO PAY $4 BILLION IN LARGEST SEX ABUSE SETTLEMENT IN U.S. HISTORY

Los Angeles County will pay $4 billion to settle nearly 7,000 claims of childhood sexual abuse in its juvenile and foster care systems—surpassing payouts from the Boy Scouts and Catholic Church.

The abuse, spanning decades and including staff at the now-shuttered MacLaren Children’s Center, was exposed after California's AB 218 law reopened expired claims.

Victims described druggings, beatings, and rape.

The deal, pending approval, will be funded through bonds and budget cuts, with payouts beginning in 2026.

“It recognizes the horrific harm that has been done,” said attorney Patrick McNicholas.

🇰🇪 KENYA FACES SCRUTINY OVER ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES AND RESPONSE

Following youth-led protests, Kenya has seen a rise in reported abductions of activists and critics, prompting concern over governance and accountability.

President William Ruto’s administration has denied involvement, calling for investigations, yet high-profile cases—such as the reported abduction and quick release of Attorney General Muturi’s son—have raised questions about selective enforcement and transparency.

The Kenyan Conference of Catholic Bishops:

"Basically it seems that truth does not exist, and if it does, it is only what the Government says."

🇮🇹 CATHOLICS GATHER TO VENERATE ‘GOD’S INFLUENCER’ AHEAD OF SAINTHOOD

Pilgrims are flocking to Assisi to venerate the preserved body of Carlo Acutis, the 15-year-old soon to become the first millennial Catholic saint.

Acutis, who documented Eucharistic miracles online, died of leukemia in 2006.

He was credited with two miracles, including healing a Costa Rican woman with severe brain trauma.

His canonization is set for April, during the Catholic Church’s Jubilee of Teenagers.

Acutis’ body, clad in a tracksuit and sneakers, remains on display, while his heart is enshrined in St. Francis Basilica.

🇬🇧🇻🇦KING CHARLES TO MEET POPE FRANCIS IN HISTORIC VATICAN VISIT

Barring health setbacks, Pope Francis is expected to host King Charles next month in a rare meeting between the leaders of the Catholic Church and the Church of England.

The visit marks a major step in long-fractured religious relations.

Charles, who has prioritized interfaith unity, will also visit a Vatican basilica tied to English kings before the 16th-century split from Rome.

Choirs from both churches will perform in a symbolic moment of reconciliation.

The trip coincides with the Papal Jubilee, a Catholic year of forgiveness—making the timing of this meeting even more significant.

🚨🇵🇱 WHO IS DARIUSZ MATECKI, THE POLISH OPPOSITION MP TARGETED BY TUSK'S GOV?

Dariusz Matecki is a Polish politician, lawyer, and right-wing activist, currently serving as an MP for the Law and Justice (PiS) party.

Known for his strong nationalist and conservative views, Matecki has been a vocal critic of radical leftist values, European Union, and liberal media.

Before becoming an MP, Matecki gained prominence as a social media strategist, managing digital campaigns for PiS and other conservative figures.

He ran Media Narodowe and actively promoted conservative Catholic values, and Poland’s sovereignty against EU influence.

He has also played a key role in pro-life movements and has been involved in legal battles over hate speech accusations.

Critics often label him as a propagandist, while supporters see him as a defender of Polish tradition and free speech.

Matecki faces corruption allegations, with prosecutors moving to strip his immunity in Tusk’s anti-corruption crackdown.

The charges involve financial misconduct and abuse of power, though details remain unclear.

He gave up his immunity, calling it a political attack to silence the opposition.

As tensions escalate, Matecki faces possible arrest and trial, further deepening Poland’s already polarized political landscape.

With PiS in opposition and Tusk’s government tightening its grip, this case could become a defining moment for Poland’s democracy and rule of law.

After 16 days in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, Pope Francis no longer requires mechanical ventilation and is breathing with supplemental oxygen.

The 88-year-old Pontiff, who suffered a severe coughing fit and inhaled vomit, is now stable and participating in prayers.

Doctors remain cautious, but the Vatican says he is improving—drinking coffee, reading newspapers, and staying in contact with Catholic leaders worldwide.

As crowds pray outside his hospital, the Pope thanks well-wishers, saying he feels "carried" by their support.

🇻🇦 WILL POPE FRANCIS CALL IT QUITS? VATICAN BUZZES AS HEALTH QUESTIONS GROW

Pope Francis, 88, is still in the hospital with pneumonia, and while the Vatican says he’s stable, talk of a possible resignation is heating up.

After all, Benedict XVI shocked the world by stepping down in 2013—could history repeat itself?

Francis has always said the papacy is “for life,” but he also admitted Benedict “opened the door” for popes to retire.

This week, he called a consistory to discuss sainthood candidates—the same kind of meeting Benedict held right before dropping his resignation bombshell.

Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.

For now, Francis seems focused on recovering and finishing the Catholic Church’s Jubilee Year.

If he does decide to step down, expect him to keep everyone guessing until the very last moment.

🚨CATHOLIC BISHOPS SUE TRUMP ADMIN OVER REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT CUTS

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its suspension of refugee resettlement funding.

Filed in D.C. federal court, the lawsuit claims the January 24 funding halt violates federal laws protecting admitted refugees.

Over 6,700 refugees are now left without housing, food, and job training support.

Trump’s team justifies the cuts under his foreign aid freeze, but the bishops argue refugee resettlement isn’t foreign aid.

A ruling could impact thousands of refugees.

🚨🇺🇸 TULSI GABBARD: THE ERA OF WEAPONIZING THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES IS OVER

“For too long, faulty, inadequate, or weaponized intelligence has led to costly failures and the undermining of our national security and God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

Under Biden, the FBI abused its power for political reasons to try to surveil Catholics who attend traditional Latin Mass, labeling them as, quote-unquote, radical traditionalist Catholics.

Personally, just 24 hours after I criticized Kamala Harris and her nomination, I was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list called Quiet Skies.

The bottom line is this: This must end.

President Trump’s reelection is a clear mandate from the American people to break this cycle of failure, end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community, and begin to restore trust in those who have been charged with the critical task of securing our nation.”
