In another pointless private audience, Pope Francis gave another pointless interview to "La Freccia" (May 4), the free on-board magazine of the Italian railways. Apparently, Francis is an advertising partner of the company. He reiterated his regret that he cannot use public transport as he did in Argentina: "Today it's one of the habits I miss the most (sic)". The reality: The Vatican has a train station, and Francis could reach all his many destinations in Italy by train, but he prefers private helicopters. One semi-interesting statement was his call for a climate state religion. He believes that "everyone" should "change their lifestyle" and that governments have "not done enough" to promote climate hysteria. "The whole of society [who is "society"?] must exert healthy pressure, because it is up to every family to think that the future of their own sons and daughters is at stake." "Healthy pressure" is another word for state terror, a method used by Bergoglio in the Vatican. Interestingly …More

We have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come. Non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem, sed futuram inquirimus. “St. Paul reminds that we, [Christ’s] servants, have our home in heaven—or rather, if we will do full justice to St. Paul’s metaphor—have our citizenship; here on earth, all Christians are displaced persons. To this visible world which affords us, in the meanwhile, sheltered companionship, let us ever be grateful, as exiles should. But it is not the country of our dreams.” —Ronald Knox (1888–1957), “The Festival of Britain,” Occasional Sermons, p. 300.

Pope: Take a moment and thank God for your friends on 05/06/24 Jesus wants more, something greater, that goes beyond goods and plans themselves: it takes friendship. As Jesus calls his disciples his “friends” in the Gospel of Sunday, Pope Francis encouraged the faithful to take a moment to think of all the friends God has put in our lives, and thank Him for that gift. Before praying the Regina Caeli on May 5, the Pope considered: In the Bible the “servants” of God are special people, to whom He entrusts important missions, such as, for example, Moses (cf. Ex 14:31), King David (cf. 2 Sam 7:8), the prophet Elijah (cf. 1 Re 18:36), up to the Virgin Mary (cf. Lk 1:38). They are people in whose hands God places His treasures (cf. Mt 25:21). But all of this is not enough, according to Jesus, to say who we are for Him, it is not enough: He wants more, something greater, that goes beyond goods and plans themselves: it takes friendship. After inviting the crowds gathered in St. Peter’s …More

God has a mission for us: Now the Lord speaks, he who has fashioned me from the bosom of my mother to be his servant, that I bring Jacob back to him, that I will gather him Israel. “I am made glorious in the sight of the Lord, and my God is now my strength!” Isaiah, chapter 49, verse 5 The service in which God inscribes us, what he wants, is that we become servants of Love. It is already inscribed in our being. He created us Love and he is waiting, all the same, for a precise answer from us. That’s the responsibility we have. It is the decision of our whole life: to be servants or not of Love. He invites us to live with his Love, to be connected to the source and he also wants us to be love for one another. Let’s think of this, there’s no better and beautiful life than having as foundation the infinite Love of God to live and to share. Eternity becomes familiar with this mission: “I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my …More

St. John Before the Latin Gate - May 6 venite. May 6 Saint John before the Latin Gate (95 A.D.) In the year 95, Saint John the Evangelist, the only surviving Apostle, who was governing all the churches of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), was apprehended at Ephesus and sent in chains to Rome. The Emperor Domitian did not relent at the sight of the venerable old man, but condemned him to be cast into a cauldron of boiling oil. The martyr doubtless heard, with great joy, this barbarous sentence; the most cruel torments seemed to him light and agreeable because he hoped they would unite him forever to his divine Master and Saviour. But God accepted his will and crowned his desire; He conferred on him the honor and merit of martyrdom while suspending the operation of the fire, just as He had formerly preserved the three children from injury in the Babylonian furnace. The seething oil was changed for him into an invigorating bath, and the Saint came out more refreshed than when he had entered …More

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil, will inaugurate on 11 May the mosaics of its southern façade, all created by Father Marko Rupnik. The Sanctuary is the largest shrine in Brazil and the second largest church in the world after St Peter's. The south façade is the second of the church's four façades to be covered with Father Rupnik's artefacts. The northern facade is Rupnik's largest work to date, covering an area of 40,000 m2. It has been unveiled to the public in March 2022. Francis consistently protects Rupnik, who was credibly accused of fornicating with dozens of nuns. He was very briefly excommunicated and immediately recycled by Francis as a Vatican Lenten preacher. One of his victims, Gloria Branciani, had a nine-year affair with Rupnik which she now describes as a "descent into hell". She told OsvNews.com (30 April) that "with Rupnik, the sexual dimension cannot be separated from the creative experience". According to her, "when he portrayed me, he explained that I …More

Rev. John Hunwicke, an Oxford scholar, linguist, and former Anglican parson who became a Catholic priest in 2012 for the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, died on April 30, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Since 2022, his ill health and heart made it difficult for him to walk and breathe. He was a highly learned, truly listening and kind man who showed deep respect even for his theological enemies. In his spare time, he could be found reading the classics and Latin and Greek poetry. For thirty years, he taught Latin and Greek. He described himself as stern teacher but he was also humorous and entertaining. Rev. Hunwicke used his erudition to defend the Roman Rite. Before the failed Novus Ordo was introduced, Hunwicke learned the Roman Rite when he still was an Anglican seminarian at St Stephen's House in Oxford. Joseph Shaw, president of the English Latin Mass Society, writes in an obituary that Hunwicke, then an Anglican parson, joined the society as a friend, since only …More
