A New World of Lung Cancer Therapy Awaits Pope Leo nytimes.com/…e-leo-lung-cancer-therapies-genetic-… Lung cancer is still a leading cause of cancer death, but that rate is half what it was in the 1990s, partly because newly developed treatments are working. By Gina Kolata and Carolyn Y. Johnson Oct. 14, 2026 Updated 1:02 p.m. ET In a way, Pope Leo XIV may be lucky he got lung cancer now and not, say, six years ago. Treatments have changed so much, specialists say, that the old days are almost unrecognizable. For many patients, said Karen Knudsen, the chief executive of the Parker Institute, lung cancer is no longer the dire diagnosis it was in the past. Dr. Lecia Sequist, a thoracic oncologist at Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, said, “I think a lot of people have that gut reaction about lung cancer — that it can be rapidly fatal — but that is a little bit outdated, especially if it’s caught early.” She added, “It’s really just a whole new paradigm in lung cancer, and patients …More
Leo XIV appoints a Brazilian archbishop who had "permitted" the baptism of unrepentant adults in homosexual relationships. The promoted prelate acknowledged that, in such circumstances, baptism “does not confer sanctifying grace”. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Wellington de Queiroz Vieira, 58, as Archbishop of Cuiabá, Brazil. He led the Diocese of Cristalândia since 2017. Born in Tocantinópolis in 1968, Vieira studied philosophy and canon law in Rome, was ordained a priest in 1996. Amazon Synod: Celibacy and Female Deacons Monsignor Vieira participated in Francis' controversial 2019 Amazon Synod (Pachamama). At a Vatican press conference on October 16, 2019, Vieira declared that there were no biblical or theological obstacles to ordaining married men to the priesthood. However, he added that he doesn’t believe celibacy is the principal cause of the shortage of priests. Asked about the possibility of female deacons, Monsignor Vieira said: “The Synod has no decision-making …More
Is he not in hospital? Why is he then still promoting sodomy-friendly friends of him and his predecessor? Are we not gaslighted with the lung story, hospital, etc., to get more sympathiy? With more sympathy they can do even more evil things to our holy mother Church.
“I got a message from his right-hand that he was out of surgery, awake, feeling good, and was in no pain.” Pope Leo XIV’s older brother, Louis Prevost, reacts to the pontiff’s reported lung cancer diagnosis and shares an update following surgery with NewsMax. “It was quite a shock,” Louis said, revealing he is undergoing cancer treatment himself in Tampa. He said the Pope reassured him that doctors caught it early and the surgery should be relatively easy. “It sounds like it’s mostly good news.”
Pope Leo XIV’s older brother, Louis Prevost, discussed the pontiff’s reported lung cancer and shares an update on his condition following surgery. He said he spoke to the Pope before he went into the surgery but hasn’t spoken to him directly following the news of his diagnosis: “It was quite a shock especially from my younger brother, my youngest brother because I’m undergoing cancer treatment myself..to hear that he had that nodule on his lung it was kind of nerve-wracking, shaky…but speaking to him, you know that’s when he told me..well I said, was it life-threatening, 'no', does it seem serious, 'no, they think it's early enough it's small it should be relatively easy surgery'…so we were all in high-hopes and high spirits hoping for the best.
Introduction of monogamy in Africa was an “injustice.” German bishops’ website highlights defense of polygamy. Katholisch.de, the German bishops’ news portal, yesterday promoted the favorable views on polygamy of Father Égide Muziazia from Münster. Originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Muziazia has lived in Germany since 2006 and was ordained in 2011. “Polygamy in Africa is neither merely a moral failing nor a sign of moral backwardness. Rather, it is a social institution embedded in a comprehensive network of kinship, alliance-building, and the transmission of life,” he said. The encounter with Christian missionaries led to a “head-on cultural clash,” according to Muziazia. “Monogamy was demanded as a prerequisite for baptism. The monogamous marriage thus became the hallmark of the exemplary Christian—with the result that the ‘surplus’ wives were often cast aside - an injustice committed in the name of the Gospel.” The priest praises the Vatican Synod Secretariat’s …More

In his interview with the Pillar, Fr. James Martin claims that an example of gay Catholics being “treated like dirt” is being asked to refrain from reception of the Holy Eucharist if they are sexually active. In reality, this teaching has its roots directly in St. Paul (1 Cor 11)
Well, if they aren't. Why should Russia keep it's side while NATO keeps hitting Russia. It make no sense for Russia to keep their side every time. They should know by now, they don't want any peace for anyone. Especially for them. It will never stop no matter what Russia does to seek peace. The US and NATO will not stop as they play games and provoke Russia as they have, time and time again.
Leo XIV appoints prelate to major Archdicoese in Slovakia. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Marek Forgáč, 52, as Archbishop of Košice, Slowakia. He has been Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Košice since 2016. Košice has nearly 500 priests and 700k Catholics. A psychologist with a doctorate in social psychology, Archbishop Forgáč considers psychology to be a source of truth. In a 2024 interview, he recalled meeting a homosexual man whom several priests had refused to receive. Deeply moved by his “suffering”, Forgáč listened to the homosexual and gave him a blessing. When asked about blessings for homosexuals, the bishop emphasised compassion and the importance of pro-homosexual psychology: “Psychology helps us greatly, not only in our concrete approach to a person, but also in understanding the truth.” After admitting that there “are universal norms” he added a “but” to say that “we need to see the concrete person standing before us.” “Sometimes that person's story may …More

‘Do It, Do It, Do It’: New York Archbishop Walks … Upon completing the final 62 miles of the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) in northwestern Spain, New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks celebrated on Monday the pilgrimʼs Mass at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. During his homily, delivered in both Spanish and English, the prelate shared aspects of his experience as a pilgrim and encouraged those present to reflect on what — and with whom — they had journeyed along the Camino de Santiago, the route that leads from various points across Europe to the site where tradition places the tomb of the apostle St. James the Greater. Regarding the first question — “What were you walking with?” — the archbishop revealed that, beyond his backpack, walking sticks, and physical gear, he completed the route with something more: “With my prayers, with my problems, with my thoughts.” He also took the opportunity to share that he made the pilgrimage wearing a baseball cap “featuring a photo of our …More

The Spanish surgeon behind the technique used in the Pope's lung operation says Leo XIV may not need further cancer treatment. Spanish thoracic surgeon Diego González Rivas, whose team developed the minimally invasive technique used to operate on Leo XIV, says the Pontiff is recovering well. González Rivas developed the single-incision uniportal VATS technique in 2010 and trained surgeons at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Pope's operation was performed Tuesday by a team led by Professor Stefano Margaritora, head of thoracic surgery at Gemelli. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung after detecting an early-stage adenocarcinoma. González Rivas contacted the medical team Wednesday morning and learned that the Pope was already in a regular hospital ward and pain-free. Speaking to Spanish radio station COPE, he described the prognosis as very good, saying early surgery offers a high chance of cure. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy will probably not be needed, depending on pathology …More

The move has sparked debate on social media, with some believers arguing that AI-generated images should not be used for prayer.
