The pontiff had been ailing for several months, battling serious respiratory infections that left him with “a swollen face, almost deformed,’’ according to the Argentinian outlet La Nacion. But he insisted on soldiering on, including when he visited inmates at a prison in Rome on Holy Thursday, sources told the outlet’s Italian-born Vatican correspondent, Elisabetta Pique. The frail pope replied, “I live this Easter as I can’’ — speaking “with great effort and difficulty.’’ He did not partake in the papal tradition of humility: washing the feet of 12 people, a re-enactment of what the Bible says Jesus did on Holy Thursday. He also skipped presiding over Easter Mass at the Vatican on Sunday, although he did appear on the balcony to give a blessing — and at one point met US Vice President JD Vance. Francis awoke around 6 a.m. Monday appearing “reasonably well,’’ sources told Pique, who wrote a 2014 biography on Il Papa called, “Pope Francis: Life and Revolution: A Biography of Jorge Bergoglio.” But after about an hour, he suffered the stroke, which led to a coma and ultimately “irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse,’’ the Vatican announced. I also saw this video going viral earlier today claiming that Pope Francis was up all night screaming at demons who were trying to drag him to Hell: Pope Francis Had Horrific Night Screaming At Demons Trying To Drag Him To Hell, Confirms the Vatican.

However, this WAS real....just a few months ago: Why Is Pope Francis Opening Five “SACRED PORTALS” On Christmas Eve? Why Is Pope Francis Opening Five "SACRED PORTALS" On Christmas Eve? Pope Francis is back in the news and once again it has nothing to do with Jesus... Nope, not even on Christmas Eve is Pope Francis putting the spotlight on Jesus, instead choosing to open five portals. Yes, really. Pope Francis to open 5 sacred portals on Christmas Eve — for a ritual that’s never been done before pic.twitter.com/sFu5CLYkC5 — Merissa Hansen (@merissahansen17) December 12, 2024 Allow me to explain.... As you can see from the Community Note above, the NY Post has been "Fact Checked" a bit and I'll explain everything. The tradition of opening "Holy Doors" or "Sacred Portals" sounds demonic and sacrilegious, but actually dates back to the year 1300. Here is a quick summary: The tradition called "Holy Doors" by the Pope during Jubilee Years, an event that does not occur every Christmas Eve but has historical significance within the Catholic Church. Here's a detailed overview: Origin and Evolution: The practice of opening Holy Doors began in 1300 when Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the first Christian Jubilee. Initially, it was intended as a centennial celebration, but over time, the frequency was reduced to every 25 years, with some extraordinary jubilees declared in between. The first time Holy Doors were specifically opened was in 1423 at the Basilica of St. John Lateran by Pope Martin V. The Ritual: The Holy Doors are located in four major basilicas in Rome: St. Peter's Basilica, St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul Outside the Walls. These doors, usually bricked up after the last Jubilee, are ceremonially opened to mark the start of a new Jubilee Year. For the 2025 Jubilee Year, Pope Francis will open these doors starting from Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024. Additionally, for the first time, a symbolic Holy Door will be opened at Rebibbia Prison on December 26, symbolizing hope and redemption for those incarcerated. Purpose: The opening of the Holy Doors is a symbolic act meant to signify the passage to salvation, offering pilgrims a chance to gain plenary indulgences, which are full remissions of the temporal punishment due to sin. It represents a physical and metaphorical journey towards spiritual renewal, mercy, and forgiveness. This act aligns with the Jubilee Year's theme of hope, especially emphasized by Pope Francis for the upcoming 2025 Jubilee. Biblical Basis: The concept of a Jubilee year has roots in the Old Testament, specifically in Leviticus 25, where every 50 years, the Israelites were to have a year of Jubilee where debts were forgiven, slaves were freed, and land was returned to its original owners. While the Catholic tradition of Holy Doors does not have a direct biblical mandate, it draws inspiration from this concept of Jubilee as a time for atonement and renewal. Demonic or Controversial Interpretations: Some sources, particularly from those who view Catholic practices through a skeptical or conspiratorial lens, have speculated about the opening of these doors being linked to demonic activities or supernatural portals. However, these views are not supported by official Catholic doctrine or historical practice. The Catholic Church frames this ritual in terms of spiritual symbolism, emphasizing themes of hope, mercy, and redemption. Speculations about demonic connections are more reflective of broader conspiracy theories rather than the Church's intentions or teachings. So they're doing it again this year on Christmas Eve no less, and adding a fifth door. The fifth door is the "never been done before" part. Here's what it looked like when they did it back in 1975: BREAKING THE POPE ON CHRISTMAS EVEPope Francis to open 5 sacred portals on Christmas Eve — for a ritual that’s never been done before  Pope Francis will commence a centuries-long Catholic tradition on Christmas Eve and introduce a first-time, historical addition to the holy… pic.twitter.com/Tb1tMmGfOD — SANTINO (@MichaelSCollura) December 13, 2024 And here are more details from the NY Post: Pope Francis will commence a centuries-long Catholic tradition on Christmas Eve and introduce a first-time, historical addition to the holy ritual. Starting on Dec. 24, the pontiff will open a series of five Holy Doors throughout the Vatican, including St. Peter’s Basilica, plus Rome’s three other basilicas to commence next year’s Catholic Church jubilee — a joyful commemoration of faith that normally occurs every 25 years. The door at St. Peter’s was sealed shut by a wall of bricks since the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy in 2016 and, on Dec. 2, those were ripped down to ready the door for opening as part of the rite of “recognition.” After that Christmas Eve ritual, Pope Francis will open a symbolic door inside the Roman prison Rebibbia on Dec. 26, the feast of St. Stephen. “I think of prisoners who, deprived of their freedom, daily feel the harshness of detention and its restrictions, lack of affection, and, in more than a few cases, lack of respect,” Pope Francis said. “In order to offer prisoners a concrete sign of closeness, I would myself like to open a Holy Door in a prison, as a sign inviting prisoners to look to the future with hope and a renewed sense of confidence.” The objective of opening the doors later this month is to usher in a year “renewed in hope” as Christians find Christ as the “door of our salvation,” Pope Francis wrote in a proclamation, or “bull of indication,” for the 2025 year-long celebration. “God’s word helps us find reasons for that hope,” he added. “In the heart of each person, hope dwells as the desire and expectation of good things to come, despite our not knowing what the future may bring.” Yeah, I don't know....feels really weird and wrong to me. Why does the Catholic Church have to keep inventing all this nonsense? Is preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ too boring for them? Maybe just preach about Jesus, try that for once Pontiff!

Okay. I’ve been warning people about this for months now. These planes are being sabotaged for a reason. The sheer amount of things going wrong with them is unlike anything we’ve seen before. This will be exposed. Whistleblowers will come forward. So until this mess gets sorted I highly recommend not flying if it can be helped. That being said… A Delta flight in Florida burst into flames before takeoff, forcing nearly 300 passengers to evacuate. Flight 1213 was set to leave Orlando for Atlanta when the engine lit up like they we’re filming an action film. Passengers slid down emergency chutes while flames shot from the back of the plane. Everyone made it out safely, but I’m not so sure if they were in a hurry to rebook the flight.

New York Post reports: Nearly 300 passengers were forced to evacuate a Delta Air Lines flight in Florida on Monday after the engine caught fire just before takeoff. Flight 1213 was pushing back from the gate at Orlando International Airport at around 11:15 a.m. when its engine erupted in flames on the tarmac, the airline confirmed. Photos and video showed flames erupting from the tail of the aircraft that was heading to Atlanta with 282 passengers, 10 flight attendants and two pilots onboard. Passengers were evacuated from the Airbus A330 using emergency slides, photos from the scene show.

One of the Democratic Party’s leaders on Capitol Hill is putting nations around the world on notice, warning that the party will hold a grudge against nations that are too chummy with President Donald Trump. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) made the statement amid ongoing debate over Trump’s efforts to deport dangerous illegal immigrants. As the New York Post reported: Referencing El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele specifically, Raskin (D-Md.), 62, suggested that Dems should keep score of foreign leaders who brownnose Trump, 78, during his second term. “Implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power — and we will — we are not going to look kindly upon people who … facilitated authoritarianism in our country,” Raskin told “Pod Save America” host Tommy Vietor in an episode that dropped Saturday. Vietor had told Raskin that a Latin American policy expert suggested to him that Democrats should “threaten to take action against any foreign government that participates in the extraordinary rendition of American citizens.” Trump has tapped into warpowers under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to rapidly deport alleged gangbangers outside of traditional deportation channels to El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) megaprison. Of course, Raskin has been one of many Democrats who have appeared to be more passionate about the supposed rights of migrants living in the U.S. illegally than the American citizens victimized by those criminals: Once again, they are on the wrong side of every issue. Raskin demands that an ILLEGAL gang member who was deported be returned. pic.twitter.com/5rrUCUz80C — Sadie (@Sadie_NC) April 1, 2025 CNN panel aghast to learn that even their own polling shows Donald Trump’s approval rating on immigration is positive. Turns out, Democrats fighting harder for illegals than American citizens isn’t working. pic.twitter.com/cr5yqbUR9u — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) April 19, 2025 It’s pretty funny that Democrats are now obsessed with how the President enforces our immigration laws. In 2020 Biden campaigned on NOT enforcing our immigration laws and that’s exactly what he did as President. pic.twitter.com/3C0OXpLnpq — MAZE (@mazemoore) April 15, 2025 Raskin’s remarks come as other House Democrats staged a photo op in El Salvador on behalf of a deported immigrant allegedly affiliated with the dangerous MS-13 gang. As NewsNation reported: Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.) and Maxine Dexter (Ore.) said they were in El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s release and put a spotlight on what they say is President Trump’s noncompliance with a Supreme Court order directing his administration to “facilitate” the Maryland man’s return. They also said they would urge the release of other detainees. “While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” Garcia said in a statement. “That is why we’re here – to remind the American people that kidnapping immigrants and deporting them without due process is not how we do things in America.” “We are demanding the Trump Administration abide by the Supreme Court decision and give Kilmar and the other migrants mistakenly sent to El Salvador due process in the United States,” he added. That trip was planned in the aftermath of a widely panned visit to the country by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD): What is your opinion?
