Leo XIV cancels his presence at next inter-religious Assisi meeting. Pope Leo XIV will not travel to Assisi on October 27 for the peace meeting with representatives of various religions. The meeting was intended to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the syncretistic Assisi gathering convened by John Paul II in 1986. It seems that Leo XIV wants to avoid another scandal. The official excuse is his health. Doctors have advised against the helicopter trip "as a precautionary measure." Leo XIV will send a video message instead. At the same time, the doctors announced that Leo XIV had undergone another X-ray. The results were excellent, and his postoperative recovery is progressing very well. #newsBooqnjbqpw

Orthodox Rabbi reacts to Ben Shapiro's Noahide Laws controversy by saying Shapiro "should have" encouraged Christians to abandon Christianity, as there's "nothing wrong" with "being a Noahide." "Why is it so bad?! Be a Noahide!" Rabbi Yonatan Dorfman says. "We Jews do not want Christians to be more Christian," he says, pushing back on Shapiro. "We don't believe Christianity to be the right religion." "In fact, according to a lot of medieval commentators, Jewish commentators, Christianity is idolatry, if not incredibly close to it. We don't think that we believe in the same God." LauraAbolichannel
Letter to the Ephesians 4,1-6. Brothers and sisters : I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Psalms 24(23),1-2.3-4ab.5-6. The LORD's are the earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it. For he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD? or who may stand in his holy place? One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean, who desires not what is vain. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, a reward from God his savior. Such is the race that seeks for him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob. shareyourcatholicfaith

1,500-Year-Old Church Mosaics in Türkiye May Reveal a Hidden Message About the Garden of Eden By Leman Altuntaş The Four Rivers of Paradise mosaic in Türkiye depicts Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates as human figures with Greek inscriptions. Credit: Özer Uras & Göregen (2026). A new study of ancient church mosaics in Türkiye suggests that four rivers flowing from the biblical Garden of Eden may carry a deeper message about human virtues and spiritual salvation. The remarkable mosaics, considered the only known example of their kind in Anatolia, reveal how early Christians transformed sacred texts into elaborate works of art. At the ancient city of Hadrianoupolis, in Türkiye’s northern Karabük province, a church floor preserves an unusual scene: four human figures representing the rivers of Paradise, each identified by name in Greek. The figures hold horns of plenty from which water flows into a shared pool, bringing to life a passage from the Book of Genesis. The mosaics have been …More
