As always on Feast Day threads, feel free to discuss relevant issues, share favourite prayers, stories, jokes and hymns.
Here’s one very relevant report for our prayers and perusal – an unbelievably shocking event in the Vatican, reported at Gloria TV, headlined: Soft Porn Star To Sing In St Peter’s Square – Homoerotic singer to entertain teens on Easter Monday in the Vatican.
Such filth seems to have become the “new normal” in the Catholic Church, to the eternal shame of this dreadful pontiff and his complicit bishops. On the other hand, Bishop Suetta, “one of the lone Italian bishops to stand against the spirit of the age” according to the Gloria TV report, deserves our warmest support and fervent prayers that he will stand firm against this blatant evil-doing, at the very heart of the Church.
Moving on to more bad news, I have just launched a fresh thread on the latest news about the anything-but-Catholic John Fisher School (JFS) in England – click here to have your say on that topic.
In the meantime, aware that the victory over evil is already won, that we just don’t see it, it’s not fully manifest yet (Hebrews 2: 7-9) I wish our bloggers and readers, all the blessings of Eastertide.
Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter to you, editor.
Editor: thank you – and yes, thank you for the offer to send that reading material. I did have it on Kindle but not any more, so gratefully received. God bless and a very happy Easter to you, as well.
Francis de Sales,
Thank you – got it!
Happy Easter to one and all at CTS.
I was truly scandalised to read about the homoerotic event to take place in the Vatican tomorrow. It beggars belief.
May I suggest we all pray the St Michael’s prayer tomorrow, to ward off the evil that is so obviously right there in St Peter’s itself.
I agree about the Vatican homoerotic singers – that is beyond “tolerance”.
It’s quite hard to say “happy Easter” after reading that report but I hope everyone has a blessed Eastertide.
Lily,
That’s not just beyond tolerance, it’s beyond belief. Who could have imagined, in their wildest dreams, that any pope would approve such an evil event to take place in such a holy place? It’s diabolical, it’s blasphemous, it’s shocking in the extreme.
Happy Easter bloggers at CTS. I love that Regina Coeli – if only we had Pope Benedict again!
Agreed about the homoerotic event, a real shocker. It shows how deep the rot is in the Vatican. Could hardly be worse.
Happy Easter everyone.
It’s been a rough Lent this year, but worth it to enjoy the blessings of the Easter season.
The headline about the “Soft Porn Star” to perform in the Vatican is incredible, with young people to be present. Child abuse, by any other name!
God help Pope Francis and those Italian bishops who are promoting this evil because they will have to answer for it when they die.
I love the Regina Caeli sung in the video up top, but I also love this one at Easter, end of Mass.
Happy Easter All!
Nicky,
I love that hymn as well. It’s got different version, those are not the words I know but the same sense of the words, so that’s OK. It communicates the joy of Easter.
Happy Easter!
Nicky,
I have fond memories of singing that at the end of Mass, as well, although not for a while now. Sadly. Where I attend Mass, some “liturgists” think we ought to have nothing but Latin sung, even after end of Mass and I don’t argue. Why not? Because, you know what they say is the difference between a liturgist and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist! 😀
Anyway, thanks for posting – as Fidelis says, it does communicate the joy of Easter. Alleluia!
I’ve just popped in to post this short video clip of Rev William Philip, the Senior Minister of the Tron Church in Glasgow, who was interviewed by Neil Oliver yesterday on GB News, speaking about the meaning of Easter. I meant to post it at the top but caught distracted and so, better late than never, enjoy…
The Minister is very powerful there, speaking about judgement, as well as the hope of Easter. Well said, Rev.
Dear friends
A very happy and blessed Easter to everyone.
Every blessing
Michael 🙏
All good wishes and blessing to one and all at Easter! A very happy Easter day everyone!
A very happy and holy Eastertide to one and all at CTS.
This is quite sweet – not my favourite but it’s quite nice. (O Sons & Daughters, in Latin).
Laura,
That is sung where I attend Mass, but since it doesn’t, in my view, reflect the joy of the Easter season, I’m not crazy about it. Sounds a tad mournful to me. As you say, it’s certainly “sweet” and “nice” but you could say the same about the De Profundis 😀
Happy Easter!
CHRIST IS RISEN! CHRISTOS VOSKRESE! CHRISTOS ANESTI! AL-MASEEH HAQQAM!
Happy Easter everyone!
A very happy Easter to everyone, a bit late in the day, LOL!
I was shocked to read about the homoerotic show in the Vatican – there are just no words to describe this evil. Only prayer and penance will have any effect on this now – we’re running out of words.
Ok, thanks and sorry.
Hello. Any opinion or comment on this news and this article?
Editor: Nope. I’ve deleted it, since it’s off topic. Oddly enough, another newcomer posted the same link, with the same question, asking if we have an opinion. Nope. Not on this thread. Do YOU have an opinion on the Vatican permitting a homoerotic singer to perform for schoolchildren? Oh, and you might want to wish us all a Happy Eastertide, before I close the thread, since that’s the thread’s key purpose.
Ok, I’m sorry for I have offended you and Happy Easter, I see that I am not welcome here.
Editor: you ARE welcome here, but it’s your first visit and given that the trolls usually turn out in force to distract us when we are discussing anything homosexual related (such as the link to the homoerotic singer in the intro above, and the other new thread topic on the John Fisher School in Purley) I’m afraid I (may have) misread your first comment as trolling. There is a General Discussion thread at the end of the Home page and you can post your link about those schismatic bishops there, no problem. We try to keep the topic threads restricted to that particular topic, to make it easier to follow. Apologies if I’ve misread your initial remarks – be assured, you are welcome, assuming that you are a genuine commentator and not a disrupter. God bless.
Ok, thanks.
Happy Easter everyone!
This is the litany of the saints in English – I thought it would be good to post it here at Easter.
That Litany of the Saints is a very appropriate conclusion to this Easter thread, so thank you, Josephine, for posting it.
And thanks to everyone who contributed to this Feast day thread, which is now closed to comments.
