Leo XIV visited the Great Mosque of Algiers this afternoon. With minarets rising 265 metres, it is the third-largest mosque after those in Mecca and Medina. Upon entering, the Pope removed his shoes.

Amazing how these people can lie. Russia already won. Russia was meant to win. And Russia will be the biggest winner in the end. Every time evil has tried to hurt Putin or Russia, both were rewarded.

Even in a helicopter going to Ukraine to check on the people to see how they were and what they needed and to see all the damage and all the work that will be needed to rebuild it.

Catholics around the globe must get behind this Christian view. We need to promote peace, truth and good will. That's at the heart of the Christian response to resolving conflict. It's what Christ did and instructed his disciples to do. Trump has criticized Pope Leo on his Truth Social account.

Apostolic Boldness in Time of Persecution The early Christians, despite persecution, prayed for boldness to continue living their faith and speaking God’s word. We, too, should pray for the grace to be bold in our faith, living it out in our daily lives as a sign to others.
