In the silence of the corridors
Within the rooms where secrets dwell
Amid the whispers of cardinals
A name is beginning to emerge

His Beatitude and Eminence
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa
Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem

Could he be the next Pope?

What a name, eh.


Pierbattista Pizzaballa was born on April 21, 1965, near Bergamo, Italy.

He was ordained a priest in 1990 and later that year, moved to Jerusalem, where he enrolled at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum. In 1993, he earned a Licentiate in Theology.

After several years learning and teaching the Hebrew language, in 2004, he was appointed Custody of the Holy Land. He distinguished himself for his great diplomatic skills and ability to mediate between Israeli and Palestinian authorities, serving an extraordinary 12 year term.

On June 24, 2016, Pope Francis himself appointed him as the Apostolic Administrator of the vacant See of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, entrusting him with the responsibility of managing internal matters within the Patriarchate.

In 2020, Pope Francis officially appointed him as the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. In 2023, he was also granted the title of Cardinal Priest of Sant’Onofrio; this title was not linked to a specific location, but it gave Pizzaballa the opportunity to be a cardinal and, potentially, the next Pope.


No peace, the war must go on & on...The US is now proposing the sale of tens of millions of dollars in weapons - this is in addition to contracts already drawn up earlier this year by US-based arms manufacturers with European nations who will then transfer the US weapons to Ukraine. And such Victory Day comments will only anger the Red Bear that cannot be contained.




A Trump-appointed judge has barred the administration from removing migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, saying Trump's invocation of that law in the context of Tren de Aragua was illegal. U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr. says the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act was "unlawful" because there's no evidence Tren de Aragua — as harmful as the gang is — is literally invading the United States, as the law requires.
