Worse than Germany: Cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi of Tokyo has welcomed the Japanese government's plan to promote "understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity", which was approved on 16 June. The plan involves education and "awareness initiatives" in government, schools, and workplaces, as well as measures to combat "discrimination" against homosexuals. In an interview with UcaNews.com on June 17, Cardinal Kikuchi described the government’s decision as “meaningful”, stating that it had clearly articulated a policy intended to foster a "deeper understanding of sexual minorities". And: "An inclusive community that welcomes everyone is not just an attitude; it is the first step towards building the world that God calls us to create." The cardinal's latest remarks are consistent with his longstanding homosex activism. Tokyo Archdiocese has organised monthly homosexual Eucharists. In 2023, he contributed to the book LGBT and Christianity, promoted by the 'Catholic HIV/AIDS Desk'. …More

Mónica Astorga spent almost 40 years as a Discalced Carmelite nun in Argentina and became prioress of her convent in Neuquén. She became internationally known for her work with transvestites because of Pope Francis' encouragement. Astorga meanwhile left the convent and trained in hairdressing. The Vatican formally accepted her departure from the Discalced Carmelites in 2024. She “still” considers herself a believer – yet without attending a Eucharist regularly. Long Connection with Bergoglio Her connection with Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the future Pope Francis, began much earlier. Astorga says she met him when he was a Jesuit in Buenos Aires in 1987, nearly two decades before she began working with transvestites. She later described Bergoglio's support for her as “unconditional.” Beginning Her Work with Transvestites Astorga began assisting transvestites in 2006, after one such guy sought help in a parish. Her clientele included prostitutes, people living with HIV, and impoverished or …More
Ukrainian soldiers report critical conditions on the front lines. A brigade commander claims his troops have gone months without rotation or regular supplies of water, food, and medicine. A group of Ukrainian soldiers took to social media to say they were forced to drink their own urine due to Kiev’s failure to rotate or provide them with supplies. The soldiers urged Ukraine’s recently appointed top general, Mikhail Drapaty, to intervene, claiming their immediate command ignored their pleas. The scandal erupted on Tuesday when the soldiers, claiming to be a fire support platoon with the 121st Territorial Defense Brigade, published their address on social media. The video features several men sitting inside a dark room, likely a basement, with the platoon commander, who identified himself as Anatoly Sischuk, reading out the address. Sischuk claimed that his platoon was in one position in Zaporozhye Region, Russia for nearly four months, despite their command initially promising the unit …More
A group of Ukrainian soldiers took to social media to say they were forced to drink their own urine due to Kiev’s failure to rotate or provide them with supplies. This is not the first time the Ukrainian soldiers had to drink their urine. But this time, they took to social media to complain. Letting the world know how they are treated. Some can "try" to suppress this sort of thing to prevent us from knowing. But sooner or later it's revealed for most to know.
War was a project to kill Catholics. Ukrainian Bolsheviks goading Russia endlessly since the fall of communism. Without the Fatima request heeded. Coming to western Europe too I guess soon too. Maybe via from the south also by goading Muslims by the Bolshevik satellite phony israel.
Why Does the Priest Sometimes Skip the Homily at Mass? | Catholic Mass Explained Have you ever attended Catholic Mass, listened to the Gospel, and waited for the priest's homily… …but then there wasn't one? Did Father forget? Is the priest allowed to skip the homily? And can a Catholic Mass legitimately be celebrated without one? The answer is yes—but it depends on the day and the celebration. IS A HOMILY REQUIRED AT EVERY MASS? No. According to Canon 767 §2 of the Code of Canon Law, at Masses celebrated with a congregation on Sundays and holy days of obligation, a homily is required and should not be omitted except for a serious reason. But what about an ordinary weekday Mass? A homily is strongly recommended, particularly during seasons such as Advent, Lent, and the Easter season, but it is not universally required at every weekday Mass. So if you attend a weekday Mass and the priest moves on after the Gospel without preaching, it does not automatically mean that he has done …More

“Piracy and robbery” against Russian maritime trade will not go unanswered, the president has said They left out the two trump stole. Russia could seize ships carrying Western cargo in retaliation for similar actions against Russian maritime trade, President Vladimir Putin has warned. There have been several incidents in recent months in which Western militaries have seized vessels that their governments accused of being part of a so-called Russian ‘shadow fleet’. Putin warned on Wednesday during a meeting with Pacific Fleet commanders that Moscow could take retaliatory measures wherever it deemed necessary. “Some nations are violating the Law of the Sea by trying to restrict the movement of our civilian traders. They recently came up with the idea of seizing our ships and selling off our plundered property. This is certainly nothing short of piracy and robbery,” Putin said. “If such a policy is implemented in practice, we will be forced to take mirror responses. And not necessarily in …More
