Daily Rome Shot 1567 – It was worse than we thought

The chapel of an old Roman family in the Palazzo Massimo. It has the status of a church. The Palazzo is open once a year on the anniversary of a miracle worked by St. Philip Neri: he raised the Prince’s son from the dead. Priests are able to celebrate Mass in the chapel on this day. I have done so many times, though not lately.

First, check this out…. the “Pachamama” demon garbage that infected the Vatican and St. Peter’s itself at the time of the Amazon “Walking Together” debacle is even worse than most of us knew.  We knew it was bad – yes, putting that demonic-idol bowl on the altar over the bones of Peter was a horrid sacrilege – but its really bad, as in human sacrifice bad.  HERE

Meanwhile, Holy Sepulcher is closed.

IL SANTO SEPOLCRO È CHIUSO.
IL LUOGO DELLA RESURREZIONE DI CRISTO. CHIUSO!
Dal 28 febbraio 2026.
Mai successo in 2000 anni di storia.
Non durante le Crociate.
Non durante le guerre mondiali.
Non durante la pandemia.
Oggi è chiuso.
La Settimana Santa si avvicina.
Il Golgota è…

And…

De ‘verboden Mis’ zoals kardinaal Eijk met een glimlach omschreef. Humor zat er ook de preek. En hartelijk was het samenzijn nadien in de tuin. Mij trof de stille stoet van moeders met kinderen die op het moment van de Communie door de koorgang naderde om de Heer te ontvangen. pic.twitter.com/60NFWgcPYo
