Chéri Ballinger was a model and actress with everything ahead of her. Then, on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, after praying several Rosaries, she fell seven feet from a trampoline onto concrete. The traumatic brain injury left her unable to walk or talk. Doctors were astonished she survived without breaking her neck, but they gave her little hope of returning to a normal life.
Brazilian Bishop believes in "Goddess" and embraces "all sexual diversity": Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes, 64, of Brejo, Maranhão, presided over a Eucharist at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception on September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day. After Communion and before the final blessing, two young men recited the “Creed of the Youth of the Ecclesial Base Communities.” Developed in 2016, the text speaks of a “God/Goddess,” described as “liberating and revolutionary.” This creed explicitly rejects belief in a “hierarchical Church” while “embracing all sexual diversity.” Before the recitation, Bishop Mendes introduced the creed as a “supplication from the youth of Latin America, who stand before God asking him to come to meet us.”
A heterodox creed invoking a “God/Goddess” and featuring left-wing political language was recited at the annual “Cry of the Excluded” Mass celebrated by Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes of Brejo, Brazil.

‘The Catholic Church - the Teacher of Mankind’ ~ Imprimatur, 1905 ~ ‘The Teachings of the Saints In Their Own Words’ ~ By a Parish Priest; Charity; part I; pages 6 CHARITY He who does not acquire the love of God will scarcely persevere in the grace of God, for it is very difficult to renounce sin, merely through fear of chastisement. -----St. Liguori. The heart into which Divine Love enters no longer makes any account of all that the world esteems. St. Francis de Sales says that when the house is on fire, all the goods are thrown out of the window; by which he means, that when the heart is inflamed with Divine Love, man, without sermons, or exhortations from his Spiritual director, of himself seeks to divest himself of all worldly goods, honors, riches, and other earthly things, that he may have nothing but God. -----St. Liguori. In the royal galley of Divine Love, there is no galley slave; all the rowers are volunteers. -----St. Francis de Sales. The way which God takes with the souls …More
"Under the influence of fear, we bear the Cross of Christ with patience; under the more inspiring influence of hope, we carry the Cross with a firm and valiant heart; but under the consuming power of love, we embrace the Cross with ardor. -----St. Bernard."
Leo XIV has accepted the early resignation of Bishop Guido Gallese, 64, of Alessandria, Northern Italy, today. Bishop Luigi Testore of neighboring Acqui is the new apostolic administrator. Monsignor Gallese was appointed as Ecclesiastical Assistant to the National Association of Shrines by the Dicastery for Evangelisation. Gallese’s resignation comes eight months after an apostolic visitation by Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello. No report from Bertello’s visitation was published. ANSA reported that complaints about Bishop Gallese had accumulated in Rome over several years and that the visitation examined diocesan administration and finances, including major property projects. The visitation generated overstated headlines over Gallese’s lifestyle: his Tesla, motorcycle, kitesurfing and residence were repeatedly cited in Italian media. However, the deeper conflict appears to have involved Gallese’s governance. Local media described strong opposition from the clergy, particularly over parish …More
White Crime Matters MASSACHUSETTS MOM ACCUSED OF KILLING HER TWO CHILDREN WANTS CASE DISMISSED — ATTORNEY CITES “PROFOUND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS” Janette MacAusland, 49, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Ella, 6, and Kai, 7. Her attorney is asking prosecutors to take a “different approach” when dealing with women suffering from profound mental-health problems. MacAusland has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney has not yet committed to an insanity defense. And that’s where the conversation gets interesting. Mental illness is real — but mental illness and legal insanity are NOT automatically the same thing. If mental illness becomes a reason to prosecute someone differently for murder, should that same consideration apply equally to men and women? Follow for more crime & accountability updates.
The infinite power of Christian baptism Let us discover together the powers conferred upon the soul of the person desiring to be baptized in the Catholic Church. And let us consider all the good that God bestows upon this soul, who officially desires to become a disciple of Jesus Christ our God and Savior. Receiving baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is the greatest gift for human nature; it is the gateway to eternal life with God.

Msgr. Roger Landry, 55, a prominent conservative U.S. priest, has been restricted from public ministry following non-sexual misconduct allegations by “multiple individuals.” The Diocese of Fall River said on September 11 that the allegations involve adults and possible violations of priestly codes of conduct in both Fall River and the Archdiocese of New York. After an initial investigation in New York, the diocese said there was “sufficient evidence” to impose restrictions while the case continues. Landry, who has also celebrated the traditional Roman Rite, denies wrongdoing. He says the accusations essentially concern alleged boundary violations between spiritual direction and friendship.
The Diocese of Fall River, Mass., announced Friday that Msgr. Roger Landry has been restricted from public ministry after allegations of misconduct were made against the priest by 'multiple individuals.'
The priest behind the infamous “Eucharist at sea” has been appointed head of University Pastoral Ministry for the Archdiocese of Milan for the next five years. In July 2022, Don Mattia Bernasconi celebrated a Novus Ordo Mass waist-deep in the sea off Crotone, using an inflatable mattress as an “altar.” Since September 1, he has overseen the Archdiocese’s pastoral work with university students, while continuing as chaplain at Humanitas University, a position he has held since 2023.
Il prete della Messa sul materassino “promosso”: don Mattia Bernasconi nuovo responsabile della Pastorale Universitaria
Czy ten włoski ksiądz Mattia Bernasconi który odprawiał Najświętszą Ofiarę na materacu unoszących się na falach morza ma świadomość, że czyni profanację z przyczyny własnej głupoty i braku wyobraźni? Co na to biskup lokalny? Kolejny duchowny pajac któremu się zachciało "unowocześniać" Kościół Święty.
Es gab keine Flugzeuge am 11. September ! Wie könnte ein Flugzeug in die Türme einschlagen und an der anderen Seite kommt die Nase des Flugzeugs unbeschadet wieder heraus ? Die Antwort ist ganz einfach, die Einschläge wurden animiert, denn es gab keine Flugzeuge, es wurden auch weder in New York noch an den anderen Anschlagsorte Wrackteile von Flugzeugen gefunden. Aber sieh selbst ! Was am 11. September 2001 NICHT geschehen ist. Argument:Wirbelschleppe Sondersendung 911 - 9/II 25 Jahre - Anschläge 11. September 2001 AUFWACHKANAL deine rote Pille
Das wurde schon ziemlich am Anfang aufgedeckt. Ich war zufällig diese Nacht munter und hab ferngesehen, weil ich nicht schlafen konnte, als diese Berichte plötzlich kamen. Ich habe die Szene, die hier gezeigt wird, als ein Flugzeug in hohem Bogen in das WTC II flog, im Fernsehen in Nahaufnahme und gestochen scharf gesehen und war sofort misstrauisch. Erster verdächtiger Punkt: Warum war die Kamera die ganze Zeit im perfekten Winkel auf das WTC II gerichtet, als plötzlich von links oben das Flugzeug herein kam und durch die Kurve rechts unten einschlug? Die Kamera wurde nicht bewegt, sie war exakt auf diese Stelle ausgerichtet, als ob der Bediener schon vorher den "Einschlagsort" kennen würde. zweiter verdächtiger Punkt: Die Szene hätte aus einem Kathastrophenfilm stammen können, so perfekt waren die Bilder positioniert, das Flugzeug flog genau im goldenen Schnitt in das Gebäude. Man hat mich als Verschwörungsschwurbler abgetan, als ich meine Zweifel äußerte, aber ich war überzeugt davon …More
Ever since a couple of Russian Orthodox clerics were told not to covert to the Catholic Church, things have gone downhill. Missionaries have ceased preaching the Gospel and Catholic baptisms have dwindled. Basically, there is no more Catholic evangelization.
An interesting exchange here between William F. Buckley Jr. and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen from 1970, where the good Bishop’s answers sound incredibly contemporary and not entirely satisfactory. Almost as if the Church has been in stasis for 50 years.
