Iraqi Emil Shimoun Nona, 58, current Archbishop of Australia and New Zealand, has been elected Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church. He took the name Paul III. Nona succeeds Louis Raphaël I Sako, who had led the Church since 2013. The election was announced on Sunday following a synod of Chaldean bishops held in Rome. Born in Iraq, Nona led the Archdiocese of Mosul from 2010 until 2015. He left Mosul in 2014 when Islamic State (ISIS) took over and Christians were expelled. He later served as archbishop based in Sydney. The patriarchate is traditionally based in Baghdad, but much of its life today is centered in diaspora communities across Europe, North America, and Australia. The Chaldeans are an Eastern Catholic Church in communion with the Vatican and the largest Christian group in Iraq. #newsDnasdkxwhl
Trump Was Watching a U.F.C. Fight in Miami While Iran Talks Collapsed On his way to Florida, President Trump said it did not matter to him if a deal with Iran was reached or not: “We win, regardless,” he said. nytimes.com/2026/04/11/us/politics/trump-ufc-iran… On Saturday evening, as Vice President JD Vance took a podium in Pakistan and said no deal had been reached to end the war in Iran, President Trump was in Miami watching a mixed martial arts fight. Mr. Trump spent several hours orbited by Secretary of State Marco Rubio; a few of his children; some Ultimate Fighting Championship officials; Sergio Gor, the U.S. ambassador to India; the recording artist Vanilla Ice; Dan Bongino, the former deputy director of the F.B.I.; and the manosphere shepherd Joe Rogan. He was surrounded by people, but Mr. Trump was somehow an isolated figure. People mostly circulated around him, checking in with updates and then leaving again. For the most part, Mr. Trump sat and impassively watched blood and …Makîria
Four Ways Trump’s War Is Weakening the US nytimes.com/…2/opinion/trump-iran-war-incompetenc… The most tangible blow to the United States and the world is the increased influence that Iran has secured over the global economy by weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz. About 20 percent of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas flows through the strait, which is next to Iran’s southern shore. Before the war, Iran’s leaders feared that blocking traffic would invite new economic sanctions and a military attack. Once the attack happened anyway, Iran closed the strait to nearly all traffic except its own ships. The policy is inexpensive because it mostly involves a threat, namely that a drone, missile or small boat may blow up a tanker. Forcibly reopening the strait, by contrast, would require an enormous military operation potentially including ground troops and an extended occupation. Mr. Trump’s lack of foresight about the strait reveals glaring incompetence. The two-week cease-fire does …Makîria

'Divine Mercy is both a Message and a Devotion. As JPII and Pope Benedict stated, the message of Divine Mercy is NOT optional. It is the "nucleus of the Gospel" and an integral part of Christian life and prayer - not a secondary devotion. So in answer to all the criticism about St. Faustina and the devotional of Divine Mercy, Fr. Chris Alar explains where Divine is within the Mass: EVERYWHERE!'
The Mass in the Roman rite touches on the very idea of tradition in the Church, Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, president of the French bishops, told KTO on April 5. Bishops are called to show “pastoral solicitude” toward those Catholics: “First, to welcome them. It is not about judging them.” He added that this welcome should not begin by trying to redirect them and “not to say: 'they should go elsewhere or do it differently'.” At the same time, Cardinal Aveline emphasized that this welcome must remain within the framework of official Church structures: “Tradition goes all the way to the last council, including the Second Vatican Council.” Cardinal Aveline added that the liturgy and Vatican II “is not necessarily irreconcilable” as there is “a hermeneutic of continuity”. Councils “do not abolish previous ones.” On the announcement of episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X., Cardinal Aveline spoke of “a cause of sadness.” He believes: “It is …Makîria
A heretical, non-dogmatic megacouncil that eliminated the Tradition of the Church and opened the doors to the current apostasy. No, thank you; we will never accept the apostate ecumenical heresy that violates the First Commandment.

Randy Fine says the 3rd worlder LIED on his immigration forms "Mamdani lied when he applied for citizenship. I think he was affiliated in supported groups you're not allowed to if you want to be a citizen of the United States. And I think he should be denaturalized and deported as a result!"

U.S. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has downplayed reports of growing tensions between the Vatican and the U.S. administration of Donald Trump. In an interview with IlGiornale.it on April 11, he stated that “the narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated”. Leo XIV “has invited everyone to work for peace, as he rightly should.” Regarding the attacks and bombings of Iran, Cardinal Burke thinks: “One may have differing views on how to address the problem, but one certainly cannot think that the situation in Iran was good prior to the attacks by the United States and Israel. I believe that, in his view, Trump also has peace as his goal - meaning he seeks to restore internal peace in Iran and in its relations with other nations. This is because the regime represents a nuclear threat to both its neighbors and others.” He also added that he prays “for the freedom of the Iranian people, who have suffered for too many years at the hands of the ayatollahs’ regime.” Cardinal Burke continued: “…Makîria
Cardinal Burke is a MAGA/Zionist controlled operative. He doesn't seem too bright when it comes to the "Errors of Russia." I wish he would study his catechism better and stay out of politics!
April 12th - Saint of the Day: Saint Zeno of Verona, Bishop A 4th-century bishop from Verona is still shaking hearts today. Saint Zeno of Verona was known for fearless preaching, defending the truth against heresy, calling Christians back to real charity, and a stunning miracle tied to a massive flood that could not enter his church. Even wilder, he preached like baptism actually changes everything. Not just a family tradition. Not just a label. A new life. His words cut straight through the noise of comfort, greed, and lukewarm faith, and they still hit hard now. If faith has ever felt dry, distant, or routine, Saint Zeno is a reminder that holiness is bold, joyful, and deeply rooted in truth. Go to HolyManna.blog to read the full post on Saint Zeno of Verona, his life, miracles, legacy, and why this ancient bishop still matters right now. There is a lot more waiting there, along with many other Catholic reflections, saints, and feast day posts. Xen Xenòn …Makîria

On April 9, 2026, the Holy See Press Office announced that Pope Leo XIV appointed the listed figures as members of the Dicastery for Communication: Curia Cardinal Luis Tagle, 68, Philippines He is considered emotionally instable and holds pro-homosexual views: “The harsh words that were used in the past to refer to homosexuals and divorced and separated people, the unwed mothers, et cetera, in the past they were quite severe,” Tagle told a Catholic youth conference in London in 2015. In 2017, he led a social media initiative in the Philippines called the Lazarus Project, to call for homosexual acceptance in churches. In 2019, he called on Catholic youth to stop discriminating against homosexual people. Furthermore, Cardinal Tagle believes that there is no all-encompassing answer to adultery: “Every situation for those who are divorced and remarried is quite unique. To have a general rule might be counterproductive in the end.” Cristóbal López Romero, 72, of Rabat, Morocco Spanish born …Makîria

In a quiet little town, there lived an old sage. His small home was filled with warmth—the soft glow of a lamp and the comforting scent of old books and paper. People came to him for guidance, and somehow, he always found the words that could ease a troubled heart. But he had a neighbor who couldn’t stand it. “Why him?” the man would complain. “His windows stay lit late into the night, all he does is write in those notebooks of his—and yet people respect him more than me, even though I have ten times the wealth!” One evening, envy finally got the better of him. Blinded by it, he placed a basket of rotting garbage right outside the sage’s door. The next morning, the old man opened the door, saw the mess—and didn’t get angry. Instead, he quietly emptied the trash, washed the basket until it was spotless, and filled it with the finest, ripest apples from his garden. Then he carried it over to his neighbor’s house. The neighbor, expecting a confrontation, froze in confusion. “Why would …Makîria
