@zmkc @MarkHiggie2 Happy anniversary! 💐

By great good fortune, I met @MarkHiggie2 in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport on the day that Brezhnev died & about a year later, 42 years ago today, Mark was kind enough to marry me. I couldn't have been luckier or happier.

French forensic pathologist @doctroptard is shedding new light on the deaths of history’s most revered figures -- from King St. Louis to Thérèse of Lisieux -- while probing the mystery of the “odor of sanctity.” His work narrows the distance between the living and the dead. 👇Read more on @NCRegister

Satellite imagery confirms that Azerbaijan has destroyed the largest church in Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh. Just another step in erasing all Armenian presence from the region.

@DrSamuelGregg @aier Congratulations, Sam!

@zmkc Very sad, it’s a big loss for the Catholic intellectual world

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THIS MESSAGE FROM VETERAN VATICAN JOURNALIST EDWARD PENTIN: “On March 19 my verified X account (@EdwardPentin) which I’ve had since 2008 was hacked and effectively stolen by someone called @RyanJamess4h. X has so far not allowed me to regain access to my account and my 50K+ followers despite me giving X full details of what happened and verifying my identity. Stealing other people’s X accounts should obviously not be allowed to happen and yet I’m told it is by no means rare and there’s practically no recourse for those affected. I am therefore publicly asking @X / @ElonMusk to resolve my case and any others like mine as soon as possible, returning these accounts to their rightful owners. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help diffuse this message. ~ Edward Pentin. Below is (1) a screenshot of a past tweet from my verified account, (2) my account in the process of being hacked and stolen, and (3) a screenshot of the account once it had been stolen.”

🔴 Plus de 21 400 adolescents et adultes recevront le baptême à Pâques en 2026, selon les chiffres révélés par la conférence épiscopale. Une dynamique portée en grande partie par les 18‑25 ans, désormais majoritaires parmi les nouveaux baptisés. 👉 famillechretienne.fr/46802/article/…

It was with real sadness that I learned that the monks of the Abbey of La Trappe in Normandy are considering closing down their operation. As the name suggests, this monastery is the mother house of the Trappist Order, a reform of the Cistercian movement and a particularly intense form of Benedictine life, famous for its austerity and silence. I came to know of La Trappe through Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, whom I read with great passion when I was a young man. La Trappe shaped Merton, who in turn opened so much of the spiritual life to me. Founded over nine hundred years ago, La Trappe has survived the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution, and the world wars of the twentieth century. That this venerable monastery cannot find enough vocations to keep it alive is, in my judgment, a sign of the spiritual disaster that has befallen Europe in the last hundred years: an ideological secularism that is rotting the soul of the West. Let's redouble our prayers that the monks of La Trappe might find a way to preserve their great Abbey. It is needed especially now.

After the ethnic cleansing of #Artsakh, tens of thousands of Armenians remain displaced and vulnerable.

Czech Cardinal Dominik Duka – once jailed by the communist regime alongside Václav Havel for his clandestine faith – has passed away. Speaking with the @NCRegister in 2023, he warned that “new totalitarianisms” were rising in the West under the guise of liberation. RIP 🔗 ncregister.com/interview/duka…
