Pope Francis’ LOST LOVE: The Girl Who Shaped His Destiny | Amalia & Jorge's Story Resurfaces
As the world mourns Pope Francis, a tender and forgotten chapter of his youth has resurfaced.
Long before he became the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics, young Jorge Bergoglio had a secret love — a girl named Amalia Damonte.
At just 12, he proposed marriage with a handwritten note saying, “If I don’t marry you, I’ll become a priest.” Her rejection changed the course of history.
This intimate story sheds light on the man behind the papacy, reminding us of the humanity within a holy life.

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.

An Israeli airstrike on the Holy Family Church compound in Gaza has killed three civilians and injured several others, including children and a parish priest. The Latin Patriarchate called it a "morally unjustified tragedy" as the church sheltered women, children, and the elderly. France, Italy, and the Vatican condemned the attack, demanding accountability. Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow and urged a ceasefire. Israel has apologized and launched an investigation, stating religious sites are not intentionally targeted despite growing criticism.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.”
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention.
