Leo XIV's Conference "Directly Connected" to Agenda 2030
![[Image: 8iz0jm61sn0esrie8eknjkpov7znoybj0cwn2js?...1759452396]](https://seedus2043.gloriatv.net/storage1/8iz0jm61sn0esrie8eknjkpov7znoybj0cwn2js?secure=t3doUHJPEX9cNyNfkCm4wQ&expires=1759452396)
gloria.tv | October 2025
Yesterday, Pope Leo XIV embarrassed himself with a eco-conference in Castel Gandolfo, which included a neo-pagan water ceremony.
According to the introduction speakers, the event was "directly connected" to COP30. This refers to the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will take place in Brazil. It is part of the broader Agenda 2030.
Some of the speakers have direct roles in COP30. For example, Marina Silva is Brazil’s environment minister. She praised the Paris Agreement and the promise of $1.3 trillion in climate funding.
Other speakers and entertainers were outdated or relatively unknown figures, such as 78-year-old politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. Pop starlets Adonique Adewale and Michelle McManus performed songs with emotional lyrics inspired by UN slogans, such as:
“We choose peace, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh … Peace out, everybody.”
"Rise up, we're a million different colors dancing to the beat."
The event's buzzwords were "integral ecology," "universal fraternity," and the "common home."
Leo XIV: "Ecological Conversion is Conversion to God"
Pope Leo XIV himself spoke as if he were a United Nations chaplain: He called for an "ecological conversion": "For believers, this conversion is no different from the one that orients us toward the living God."
His goal is to "bring the whole human family together to seek sustainable and integral development."
Quoting Francis, Leo XIV - the Pope of the Church - expects "the most effective solution above all from political decisions".
Leo XIV: "Pressure on Governments for More Regulations and Controls"
Leo XIV added that everyone, through NGOs and advocacy groups, "must put pressure on governments to develop regulations, procedures, and controls."
He revealed himself to be a staunch disciple of the United Nations: "It is my hope that the upcoming international summits of the United Nations — the 2025 Climate Change Conference (COP 30), the 53 Plenary Session of the Committee on World Food Security, and the 2026 Water Conference — will listen to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor [...]."

Diocese of Austin shuts down planned Latin Mass for students at Texas A&M University
The president of A&M’s Juventutem student chapter said it is ‘tragic that students who long for reverence and continuity with the past are being discriminated against.’

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted, not all hyperlinks from original included below]) — Catholic students at Texas A&M University in College Station will not have the opportunity to attend a planned Traditional Latin Mass after the Diocese of Austin ordered its cancellation.
A press release issued on September 24 by the student chapter of Juventutem International explains that an official from the Diocese of Austin, led by newly-installed Bishop Daniel Garcia, informed them they would not be allowed to bring in a priest from outside the diocese to offer the liturgy.
“The Mass was to be celebrated by a chaplain traveling from the Diocese of Victoria. On the evening before the liturgy, this priest was told by his Victoria bishop that he had received a directive from the Chancellor of the Diocese of Austin expressly forbidding him from traveling to College Station. This came after the pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Center, Father Will Straten, reported the Latin Mass to the Diocese of Austin,” the group said.
The Diocese of Victoria, Texas, was established in 1982. It is currently overseen by Bishop Brendan J. Cahill. Its chancellor is Msgr. Matthew Huehlefeld, J.C.L.
News of the cancelation is likely to increase the criticism currently being leveled against Garcia, who was named bishop of the Diocese of Austin on July 2, though he did not officially transfer to his new role until earlier this month.
Garcia made headlines last week when he announced in one of his final acts as bishop of Monterrey, California, that he would be shutting down the only Latin Mass available in the diocese in order to promote “unity” with Catholics who attend the Novus Ordo Mass. Garcia justified his efforts by citing Pope Francis’ 2021 document Traditionis Custodes, which greatly restricted the Latin Mass’ availability throughout the world.
“I invite you all to join in unity with the parish of Sacred Heart and St. Benedict, and in cooperation with your pastor, as they gather around the Table of the Lord celebrating the rich Eucharistic Sacrifice, each Sunday, which has been a great fruit of the Council,” Garcia said.
Juventutem International is a grassroots organization of young Catholics founded in 2004. It seeks to promote traditional liturgy, prayer, and community life. Sophomore Nick Cardone is the group’s president at Texas A&M. A convert to Catholicism, he did not mince words in his response to the diocese’s decision.
“At a time when so many young people are leaving the Church, and at the same time countless more are being attracted to the TLM, it is tragic that students who long for reverence and continuity with the past are being discriminated against. The Latin Mass is not a rebellion – it is the Mass of our ancestors, a treasure of the universal Church, and is currently the most productive source of vocations and conversions. To tyrannically restrict our right to it is to close the door on the very future of the Church, and on the impact it has on the world,” he said.
Cardone informed Catholic News Agency (CNA) that the group holds the Latin Mass once a month and that more than 100 A&M students attend the liturgy, which often takes place in students’ homes. Cardone also revealed that he repeatedly reached out to priests in College Station to offer the Mass but that former Bishop Joe Vasquez’s office informed them their requests couldn’t be fulfilled “because of Church law and a vague situation in the diocese.”
The Diocese of Austin issued a statement to CNA as well. Communications Director Camille Garcia said that Cardone’s group did not reach out to incoming Bishop Garcia for his approval, which she said is required for Masses held “outside of a sacred space on the university campus.”
Juventutum said in its press release that it is not discouraged over the news and that it will seek to resolve the matter with Garcia in the future.
‘The group remains fully committed to working with supportive clergy and students to restore reverent liturgy on campus and to defend the right of young Catholics to access the treasures of their own Church. We urge Bishop Daniel Garcia to reconsider this unjust decision and to allow the Traditional Latin Mass to flourish at Texas A&M, for the good of souls and the future of the Church.”

Charlotte Bishop Admits That Chapel for Roman Rite Is Deliberately Too Small
gloria.tv | September 29, 2025
In a letter dated 26 September, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, USA, repeated his restrictions on the Mass in the Roman Rite, which will come into effect on 5 October (see letter below).
From now on, all Masses in the diocese will be held in one place: a former Protestant temple, the Chapel of the Little Flower.
In his two-page letter, Monsignor Martin uses the first-person pronoun approximately two dozen times (I, my,..).
In the context of suppression, the letter's initially sweet introduction takes on a sinister tone.
"God has been at work in your lives through this particular celebration, and it is hard to imagine how the Holy Spirit could want otherwise."
The bishop then adds that the new chapel is deliberately too small: "This chapel holds approximately 350 people and has recently been renovated specifically for the celebration of the Tridentine Latin Mass. Please understand that the chapel is not intended to accommodate everyone currently attending the Tridentine Latin Mass in their respective parishes."
He continues: "There will not be any programming offered at Little Flower Chapel other than Sunday and Holy Day Masses, so all other aspects of Catholic life are to be engaged in at your local parish."
The faithful should only occasionally attend Mass at this chapel, while participating regularly in the life of their registered parish in the Novus Ordo.
Bishop Martin concludes by asking the faithful to consider attending for the first time on a Sunday in late October or early November, so that the chapel can best accommodate everyone given its occupancy limitations.
