I just wanted to share a photo from a recent pilgrimage to Medjugorje. On August 16, our group met on the balcony of one of our group members to pray the rosary. As we were praying, a full rainbow appeared with one side resting on the Hill of Apparition. As I was reviewing the photos on our return home, I noticed that this photograph shows a face under the rainbow. Some say it looks like the Blessed Mother, others say it looks like Jesus. It’s not a complete face but enough to see the face.

Regarding the AP article:
More propaganda from secular press trying their hardest as pawns of The Deceiver to Divide Jesus’ Mystical Body, the Holy Catholic Church, and misrepresent our new Holy Father. (It reminds me of the Relenting attacks on President Trump)
And for those who don’t have time to read the article, i fear Your headline risks putting weight on the side of the scale which favors a negative view of both Pope Leo and Pope Francis.
The document, “Responsum ad Dubium,” (https://press.vatican.va/
In the document, reasons are clearly stated why the Church “cannot Bless Sin.” It “drew a firm distinction between blessing an individual person and blessing a union,” and emphasized that “the blessing is for the individuals.” The document was intended specifically to stop any “erroneous and misleading” interpretations suggesting “approval of same-sex unions or a change in the Church’s doctrine on marriage.”
How much clearer can you be? In both documents it is stated that the intention of those receiving said Blessing must be aligned with Church Teaching, and Grace is being given to help individuals onto the Road of Virtue.
But, Satan, with his never-ending fury, seduced countless publishers, writers and readers into believing misrepresentations of the Blessing Offered, painting Our Holy Fathers as charlatans and heretics. Even after the Passing of Pope Francis, attacks on him are relentless – just to draw the Mystical Body down into the Mud, as “having had a heretical Pope”! I saw not long ago an illustration of a Priest with right hand raised in Blessing standing before two men – and it was on a Catholic website!!
Perhaps Your headline might be changed to, first of all, refer to Our Holy Fathers as “Pope Leo” and “Pope Francis” instead of “Leo” and “Francis,” to maintain their unmatchable Dignity ahead of placing in importance how much space the words will take up on the page. And secondly, to leave no room for joining Satan in his attacks on our Holy Fathers or The Mystical Body of Christ by using words which can be misunderstood if the article is not read.
Thanks for Your Time. God Bless You and Yours.
