Church burned in Ireland, at 4AM:
“Investigation launched as much-loved Donegal church gutted by fire”

Secretary of State of the Vatican, Pietro Parolin, now leads the Catholic Church.
Pope Peter II (born Pietro Parolin, 17 January 1955 – 21 July 2027) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 21 April 2025 until his death on 21 July 2027.
According to the Malachi Prophecy, Peter the Roman, will be the next Pope, and will reign to the end of the World on 21 July 2027.
According to Malachi “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign ‘Pietro the Roman’, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed, and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”

IIRC from my studies and rough translation of this old work, the Prophecy of St Malachy (written 1139, he died 1148) listed the then future popes with short Latin epithets; the last few are as follows:
FLOS FLORUM (Flower of Flowers) PAUL VI (Montini) 1963-78
DE MEDIETATE LUNAE (Half Moon/between moons) John Paul I (A. Luciani) 1978
DE LABORE SOLIS (Of the solar eclipse) John Paul II (K. Wojtyla) 1978-2005
DE GLORIA OLIVAE (The glory of the olive) Benedict XVI (J. Ratzinger) 2005-2013 (resigned)
PETRUS ROMANUS QUI SEDEBIT IN TEMPORE MAXIMAE PERSECUTIONIS SANCTAE ECCLESIAE ROMANAE … (Peter the Roman who will sit in a time of great persecution of the Holy Roman Church …) maybe Francis I (J. Bergoglio) 2013-2025, but some argue there will be further popes before this last one in the list, as the epithet is generic “end of the world” stuff and much longer than any other in his list.
Interestingly, JP I lasted about one month in the Autumn of 1978, roughly half moon to half moon per the lunar synodic cycle. JP II was born 18/5/1920, the day of a partial solar eclipse, and was buried on 8/4/2005, the day of an annular eclipse, having died on Saturday 2/4/2005. Benedict XVI bore the name of the Benedictines, known as Olivetans as I read, which might explain the “olive” reference.
Mustapha, the BBC reckon the next Pope will be from Asia, somewhere? They have four candidates: one from Italy, one from Phillipines and two Africans, one from Ghana and one from the Congo. Read the BBC’s runners and riders here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgxk40ndk1o

Does it matter if some of the ingredients have a 1998 sell by date and others have a blue – green mould skin on them … asking for a fiend … i do feel that over the years I have developed a certain resistance to various bugs …
And will a vesta curry do instead of a ‘Harrisa? – what the hell is a harrisa ?
Oh Vestas !! Mum’s idea of foreign food in the early 60s. The crispy noodles on the chow mein are great. The ultimate meal in a box. Are they still available?
Harissa ? Something you catch in a swimming pool ?
You can still get the chow mein one not sure about the others.
A pinch of salt on that Zeps, and you’re Jamie Oliver’s mate!
Ha ha ha, Fed! My record is about twenty years for some spice in a bottle hidden somewhere!
Brissles, Vestas were a lifeline in London flats in the sixties! And do you remember those curries with a sort of double can, which had curry one end, and rice the other?
As for harissa, isn’t that rather like Masquerade – a refreshing drink made from used covid masks…
I had a 20 year old yoghurt which escaped from the fridge and had to be shot by armed police as it ran down the street attacking XLbully dogs …
Fed, I recently put a tin of soup into my gut that dated from 2017. I think I have some others that predate that. I had some tins of fruit in the cupboard that exploded and had to be disposed of in the general waste a while back.
Pope Francis was all in favour of faux Catholic Biden and all he stood for, and was always critical of Trump / Vance and all they stood for.
The feeling would have been mutual, so I doubt there will be much mourning at the White House.
Ironic that Vance was the last dignitary the pope met.
Hopefully, at that meeting, Francis Bergoglio will have realised that all his woke machinations had been in vain, and that the future was Orange. Bright Orange, Your Holiness.
He was always in favour of, ‘Open Borders’.
I always remember what happened to Galileo and Kepler. The Catholic faith has always acted, so-say, “in the best interests of humanity” meaning, itself.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – now there’s a surprise …
On a Bank Holiday Monday when businesses are shut and staff are given the day off: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business . What can one say?
It is amazing. I looked up the late Pope on Wikipedia. There was a whole paragraph about his death and when I looked at 8pm the cause of his death was already given there. I only did this because I had just looked up Lady Victoria Starmer. There wasn’t so much as a hint about whether she has served divorce papers on her husband (I accept that it isn’t known for certain, but Wikipedia being what it is could have said that there were rumours about it). I am wondering where the censorship lies.
I heard he has lawyers sending threatening letters left, right and centre.
About all he is competent at, he is certainly keeping his far left progressive pro trans gob shut on other matters of state.
TWatO Watch #1 – from beginning to end the Pope is dead.

Welcome to North Korea, UK branch, run by far left fascists.
To our valued users in the United Kingdom,
After careful review and ongoing evaluation of the regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom, we regret to inform you that BitChute will be discontinuing its video sharing service for UK residents.
The introduction of the UK Online Safety Act of 2023 has brought about significant changes in the regulatory framework governing online content and community interactions. Notably, the Act contains sweeping provisions and onerous corrective measures with respect to content moderation and enforcement. In particular, the broad enforcement powers granted to the regulator of communication services, Ofcom, have raised concerns regarding the open-ended and unpredictable nature of regulatory compliance for our platform.
The BitChute platform has always operated on principles of freedom of speech, expression and association, and strived to foster an open and inclusive environment for content creators and audiences alike. However, the evolving regulatory pressures—including strict enforcement mechanisms and potential liabilities—have created an operational landscape in which continuing to serve the UK market exposes our company to unacceptable legal and compliance risks. Despite our best efforts to navigate these challenges, the uncertainty surrounding the OSA’s enforcement by Ofcom and its far-reaching implications leaves us no viable alternative but to cease normal operations in the UK.
Therefore, effective immediately, BitChute platform users in the UK will no longer be available to view content produced by any other BitChute user. Because the OSA’s primary concern is that members of the public will view content deemed unsafe, however, we will permit UK BitChute users to continue to post content. The significant change will be that this UK user-posted content will not be viewable by any other UK user, but will be visible to other users outside of the UK. Users outside the UK may comment on that content, which the creator will continue to be able to read, delete, block, reply and flag. Users outside the UK may share UK-user produced content to other users outside of the UK as normal. In other words, for users in the UK, including content creators, the BitChute platform is no longer a user-to-UK user video sharing service.
We deeply regret the inconvenience and disappointment this decision may cause to our UK users and partners. This decision was not taken lightly. It reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, protecting our community, and ensuring that our platform remains a safe and sustainable space for creative expression globally. We recognize the value of our UK community and extend our sincerest apologies for the disruption caused by this necessary step. Our support team remains available to answer any queries or concerns regarding this transition.
We appreciate the support and engagement of our community around the world and remain dedicated to providing a platform that champions free expression and innovative content sharing in an environment of regulatory certainty.
Thank you for your understanding.
BitChute Team

New Israel-Gaza ceasefire plan proposed, Hamas source tells BBC
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62xnqlj11lo
Another sickening example of what the BBC is now.
Hamas source tells BBC ?. Are the BBC dealing directly with terrorists now ?. Do they meet for coffee to discuss the next tactics ?.
You can be sure ‘tells BBC’ means their Palestinian reporter Rushdi Abualouf had a chat with onw of his colleagues.
Then we are shown a picture of a bomb going off with the caption:
‘The last ceasefire ended when Israel resumed bombing last month’
DIRECTLY inferring it was Israels fault. Why did they resume BBC ?. What is the REASON it ended ?.
‘Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about about 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages. Israel launched a massive military offensive in response, which has killed 51,240 Palestinians’
What about describing the Hamas action which caused all of this as and ‘UNPRECEDENTED TERRORIST ATTACK’ there BBC ?. They give no indication whatsoever of the barbaric, cold-blooded nature of those 1,200 deaths which might prompt such a ‘massive’ reaction.
The BBC have pushed the red-lines out so much over Gaza that they can now say just about anything they want. They just have to keep it within their ‘weasel words’ so they don’t directly claim anything which is not true. They just infer it between the lines.
I was looking at Ground.News as recommended by Dan Woottan the other day. And it has the BBC lists as ‘neutral’. And when I checked the reports, you can see the cynical way the BBC play this game. Their reports are indeed roughly ‘neutral’ if you take them literally. They don’t say ‘Evil Israelis killed innocent little children’. They will say ‘Israeli bombs killed children’. Which they did. But the lie is in what they DON’T say. Which is WHY Israel bombed that target.
This is the big flaw in ‘fact checkers’. They don’t check lies by omission. And I doubt that is by accident.
Somehow my gmail account is subscribed to Quora and I leave it active so I can see the warped and nasty subjects the extreme-Left teenagers are posting on there.
One of the things they seem obessed with is particularly violent deaths and torture. An article on this came up so I figured I would see how ther BBC handled such a story:
‘Farkhunda: The making of a martyr’
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33810338
Basically it’s about a woman activist who confronted a man selling some stuff in Afghanistan back in 2015 and to shift the focus on to her he started shouting how she had burned a Koran. And before you know it, she was savagely murdered.
We’ve seen this kind of religious fanaticism many times now. It’s Islam. We have plenty of exactly the same mentality here – but they don’t have the circumstances for it to happen here.
It’s not reserved for women : these savages regularly murder anyone who insults Islam. I read a report a while ago how a mob descended on a village in Pakistan after someone said on social media that a man had done something similar. He was murdered and his family put in a house which was set on fire.
The motivation is 100% obviously religious fanaticism. It’s 100% what Islam really is. It is why people like me are anti-Islam. Not Islamophobic : there is nothing irrational about my opinion.
So as I mentioned, I wondered how the BBC would avoid blaming Muslims directly for their stone-age beliefs. What reason do you think the BBC gave for this savage murder ?.
Well, first they laced the whole article with more empathy than fact and made it into an article about feminism and misogyny !. And here is their summary of why it happened:
‘Farkhunda’s story highlights, among other things, a pervasive atmosphere of misogyny in Afghan society. ‘
‘among other things’. The understatement of the year. These ‘other things’ are the real truth of the story which the BBC don’t want to tell us. They’ve completely hijacked her murder and the reason for it for their feminist agenda. Absolutely disgusting.
The author is also exactly what we now expect from the BBC:
0% journalist. 100% activist.
Today watch .
I made 1 minute . The BBC has decided to make the dead pope one of their own posthumously – he was apparently – not a top jonnie priest – but a ‘campaigner for social justice ‘ ….. and -of course – the BBC want another ‘campaigner for social justice ‘ as his successor – the chosen sound bites of wokes reflected this – all in 1 minute …
… I was feeling sad for all those MPs having to choose to stay silent rather than alienate their Muslim voters upon whom their pensions and expenses depend ….
The Lord – Jesus Christ – won’t be getting much of a mention as the BBC claims the post posthumously ….
Personally – my church will go on as before – no Green crap – no rainbows – no queers – no Muslim crap ( apart from references to the devil and false prophets ) – and No Change …
He was the first immigrant to make pope.
Didn’t they mention it ?. I can’t stomach reading any of their fake empathy to find out.
I can’t even begin to imagine the dirty dealings underway to get the next one chosen. In this world, if you strip away the lies and hypocrisy everything is about greed and power. Everything. The most base of human instincts and the motivating forces which have made us what we are today.
BTW there have, apparently, been three African popes before, although it was a Roman province at the time, as to their “colour” who knows.
217 popes have come from Italy, as well as 16 from France, six from Germany and four from Greece, only three have hailed from Africa.
In fact, all three of those who did came from Africa Proconsularis, an historic Roman province which now mostly consists of modern-day Tunisia.
In order, they were Pope Victor I, whose dates of tenure are uncertain but predicted by historians to be around 199AD, Pope Miltiades (311 AD to 314 AD) and Pope Gelasius I, who served as the Bishop of Rome from 492 to 496 AD.
“The three popes were all profound individuals. Pope Victor, for example, declared that Easter must be celebrated only on a Sunday and dictated that anyone who disagreed or disobeyed would be accountable to him and excommunicated. With no fixed date for Easter especially in the East—it was celebrated in those days on the fourteenth day after the full moon, but on different days in various countries—Pope Victor asserted his papal authority, decisively ending the confusion and controversy over when to celebrate Easter.
It is also said to be Victor who began the transition of the Western Church’s Mass to the Latin language, as opposed to the vernacular of the time (which was Greek). His feast day is celebrated by Catholics each year on July 28.
Pope Miltiades, also called Melchiades the African, also has a reputation in history as an excellent leader and pontiff. Virtually all Christians were being persecuted when he was first elected, but he was the pope to help implement the edict of the Roman Emperor Galerius, who ruled from 305-311 and decreed toleration—ending the persecutions and allowing Christians to believe and act publicly in their faith.
Interestingly, Miltiades was the last pontiff to be buried in a catacomb, an ancient Roman underground cemetery and hiding place where spaces were set aside for individual tombs. This pope is remembered by Catholics on December 10.
The most recent African pope, Gelasius, was born in Rome but his parents were from the motherland. He was widely known as a prolific writer and as a very strong advocate for charity and justice for the poor. He required that all bishops donate a quarter of their revenue to charity, saying, “nothing is more becoming to the priestly office than the protection of the poor and weak.” His feast is November 21, during what is now recognized as Black Catholic History Month.”

Don’t forget the one English pope, Nicholas Breakspear aka Pope Adrian IV. Or maybe two, if the legend of Pope Joan – born John Anglicus – is true (unlikely). The BBC would like the latter – first girl boss pope, first trans pope etc.
(Don’t give them ideas – Editor)
Popery potpourri of headlines – you’d almost think our media had gone Catholic
Well, it looks as though it takes the death of the Pontiff to put the church and a bit Christian content at the top of the news and all over the frontpages over Easter.
Our BBC – which art in tribute – grants the ultimate journalistic ‘despite’:
Final days of Pope who joined Vatican crowds at Easter despite doctors’ advice (BBC)
White saviour?
And from an African point of view: Africa remembers Pope who spoke for the continent (Beryl Munoko & Damian Zane, BBC News): During his 2015 trip to the Central African Republic, Pope Francis visited a mosque and called on people to reject hatred – further comment would be superfluous.
And if that report weren’t sufficiently African: How dem dey take elect a new pope? Senior clerics wey be cardinals dey traditionally choose Popes for an extremely secret election process wey date back to di olden days. Im replacement go becom di leader of di Roman Catholic Church (BBC Pidgin)

7pm tonight BBC2 St Gary Lineker intervied by Amol Rajan
Local radio just ran a ridiculously fawning trailer.

according to the item in our local news.
Like how is that local news ?
A big part of so many problems today, especially at local authorities full of, “not my dept” jobsworths:
“Schoolgirl lay dead on her bedroom floor for nearly 10 hours as ‘police and ambulance argued over who should take her body to hospital’
A schoolgirl lay dead on her bedroom floor for nearly 10 hours as paramedics and police officers ‘stood in the street fighting’ over who should remove her body.
Lucy Grant, 17, was already ‘blue and quite stiff’ by the time paramedics arrived and was declared dead at her family home in Johnstone, Scotland.
But astonishingly rather than respectfully removing her body, ambulance staff and cops spent the next nine and half hours quarrelling over whether the teen was an adult or a child, with it spilling out onto the street.
Her grieving mother Lynette Anderson, 44, was left screaming and crying in the garden and at one point collapsed to her knees.
Lynette said she was even stopped from cleaning her daughter’s face when fluid started coming out of her nose and mouth.
She spent most of the time lying on the floor outside her daughter’s room. Lucy’s body was eventually taken when a senior detective arrived and immediately called for a private ambulance. ”

I still subscribe to the Telegraph and I find that there is an ever widening gulf between the tenor of the articles and the readers comments. The readership of the newspaper were once and probably still are centre right patriots, but it is ever more clearly demonstrated that the newspaper is a Globalist rag.
Now of course the views of those readers who comment are not necessarily typical of the rest of the readership. However, the comments strongly indicate deep dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. For instance in the last few days common themes are:
#Derision at the Royal Navy sailing to demonstrate force projection in the straits of Taiwan when the channel has not been defended against rubber boats
# Wondering if the job of the Pope includes defending Christendom from Islamic encroachment because the last one didn’t
# Laughing at the non stop barrage of anti Trump articles the newspaper runs and the acute TDS of the columnists
# Growing indifference , if not yet hostility , towards the King and his family because his Wokeness and refusal to defend our way of life
# Widespread support for JD Vance and his comments regarding free speech in the UK
# Amazement and horror at the way old military types are given carte blanche to write ludicrous but dangerously escalatory articles about the Ukrainian war.
Basically the readership remains loyal to Britain of the last century but the newspaper is full on Globalist. Allison Pearson being the exception to the rule.
Another entry for the ‘Beyond Parody’ column.
On Toady after the 7 am news the Pope’s death was the first story.
The BBC ‘find’ two people to talk to among the thousands in St Peter’s Square.
Have a guess which ‘issues’ the two commended the Pope for supporting?
The first referenced climate change.
The second referenced refugees and the LGBT community.
A truly astonishing co-incidence. Or possibly not.
Article on Mail on Line about the evil America under Trump. Poor (only in terms of sympathy but implications were they are children of wealthy parents) are getting turned away from America because evil Trump’s immigration laws. These people are turning up with no accommodation booked or the tattoo pens and inks so they can work their way across America….on a tourist visa. Apparently this is costing America a huge amount in lost income from tourists.
The tone of the article is very different from the several I have seen about tourists being turned away from the EU because their passport is not valid as the expiry date is more than 10 years from the issue date. Then it is the fault of the tourist.
Not watching the BBC, I wonder if it has similar stories?
Ever keen to run the stories that really matter, on the BBC webshite at the time of writing, immediately after the headlines about the Pope, under the heading ‘more top stories’, we have this first story.

Wanted him to leave but the managers are such pathetic history-teacher-type Lefties, they daren’t tell him.
Same as they daren’t confront all their peodophiles and perverts. They wait for them to mess up so bad, it gets into the papers then hide under their desks until they are gone. hence why Huw Edwards got all his salary until he actually resigned : he wasn’t sacked or anything. Then they just asked him to give it back. Which of course he didn’t.
And I’m also certain that every single one those managers can be a real nasty piece of work to people they think are weaker than they are.

He has been a vocal advocate for scientific accuracy and evidence-based reasoning.

Syria now a holiday destination? What happened to reporting?
“When the Assad regime fell, many feared that sectarian retribution and mass ethnic cleansing would ensue. Until last week, such abuses were limited to small spurts of random vigilantism rather than large-scale, organized violence. On March 6, however, former regime insurgents ambushed the transitional government’s security forces in the western coastal town of Jableh, killing 30 of them (with many later found burned to death or in shallow mass graves). In response, government forces and affiliated elements killed 396 civilians and disarmed militants, according to figures released by the Syrian Network for Human Rights earlier today. SNHR also reported that Assad remnants killed 383 people during this round of fighting—172 soldiers and 211 civilians. In all, 779 were killed, with the total death more than doubling since March 8. SNHR believes it will rise further as new evidence is uncovered in the coming days.”

RE the guardian lying about who funds it’s loss making venture:
“Even worse is the fact the UK’s most right-on newspaper when it comes to climate change has survived thanks to the buying and selling of cars. The enormous losses of the Guardian Media Group have been sustained by flogging its stake in used-car website Auto Trader back in 2014, making “between £600 million and £700 million” on the deal.
Perhaps The Guardian needs to save us the lectures and learn that famous lesson from the New Testament: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? “
Sitting outside having a coffee today, what struck me was the plethora of “cars” the size of bloody lorries trooping past, Audi Q7s and their ilk.
Who the hell needs these monstrosities ? and why ?
No wonder the roads are being ploughed up, also, no one has also seemed to factor in the weight of electric cars compared to petrol / diesel and the effect this has on roads.
An example:
The Peugeot 208’s petrol model weighs 1,090 kg, while the electric e-208 weighs 1,910 kg
So EV road tax is more?

Electric, zero or low emission cars registered on or after 1 April 2025
You will need to pay the lowest first year rate of vehicle tax set at £10 from 1 April 2025. From the second tax payment onwards, you will pay the standard rate of £195.
Electric, zero or low emission cars registered between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2025
You will pay the standard rate of £195.
Electric, zero or low emission cars registered between 1 March 2001 and 31 March 2017
The tax rate for these vehicles is £20.

The bigger cars for EV’s are obviously needed to make room for the monstrous batteries they need.
I predict 5 years for the EV industry before it falls apart because of its impractical madness.
What the hell are they going to do with all those out of life batteries? We have seen what they have to do with old wind turbines and this is pretty much the same deal only far, far bigger.
They’ll just chuck them into old coal mine shafts.
I doubt it, there are problems already because they turn the water pumps off when mines are disused and the water table then rises with all the dissolved metals (Iron and tin most commonly) entering the watercourse.
They have red rivers in some places with all the iron oxide.

Haile, Jammeh and a third man jumped out of a white BMW wearing face coverings and surrounded Mr Rivas.

Mr Rivas said he feels the watch cannot be replaced as it had sentimental value and he felt apprehensive leaving his flat the next morning.
Later that night they targeted Mark Jackson and Oliver Wragg in Brewer Street. Both were wearing short sleeved tops and expensive looking watches after a night out watching football. Mr Jackson felt a hard object hit him behind his head before being hit by multiple full force fist punches.
He heard one of the thugs saying ‘get his watch’ and one say ‘stab him in the face’.
One of the robbers put Mr Wragg in a chokehold from behind and he gave up his £600 Audemars Piguet replica watch. The thieves made a getaway in the BMW they had used for both robberies.
Jammeh has eleven previous convictions for robbery dating back to when he was 15.
