– Folha de S. Paulo, October 28, 1978 - by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I feel much more comfortable in the current post-conclave climate than I did after John Paul I’s election. With all due respect to the dead—especially ecclesiastics of such high rank as John Paul I—I must say that the general euphoria caused by his smile left me somewhat uncomfortable. For it was such an overwhelming smile that it swept away the public’s memory of the problems that surround us on all sides. This undoubtedly had the advantage of resting exhausted souls and relaxing overly tense ones. On the other hand, it could lead to widespread carelessness. Carelessness neither eliminates nor solves problems but often aggravates them tragically. For it is the great lullaby of sentinels. The election of a bishop from behind the Iron Curtain, such as John Paul II, to the papacy has the opposite effect. He focuses attention on the most tragic of contemporary problems, around which the others incessantly perform their …More
By Nina Green Phyllis Webstad Phyllis Webstad's The Orange Shirt Story, published in 2018, is in school libraries across Canada. The cover depicts young Phyllis in an orange shirt confronted by two black-habited Catholic nuns, one with scissors in her hand, the other clutching a rosary behind her back. Inside the book, illustrations show four black-habited nuns greeting her outside the school, a nun removing her orange shirt, a nun cutting her hair, and a nun hovering over her while she prays at bedtime. The text states that the nuns made her shower, took her orange shirt away, gave her other clothes to wear, and cut her hair short. This was a routine procedure when children arrived at residential schools across Canada in September. In his book From Truth Comes Reconciliation, Rodney Clifton, who worked at Stringer Hall, the Anglican student residence and hostel in Inuvik, explains that it was a practical necessity for the students’ health and well-being. He noted that the Truth …
Yesterday evening, an Islamic 'catechism' session took place at the San Lorenzo parish in Brindisi, in southern Italy. In attendance were Imam Khaled Bouchelaghem, members of the local Islamic community, and Archbishop Giovanni Intini of Brindisi-Ostuni. The meeting was titled: "Do you know Islam?" Archbishop Intini delivered the closing remarks at the end of the evening. According to the archdiocesan website, teaching the Islamic religion should promote dialogue. Last year, Muslims celebrated the end of Ramadan at the same parish. The article's picture on the right shows Archbishop Intini and Imam Bouchelaghem in 2025. #newsOboylsfdqv

*Mass according to the Roman Calendar Acts 5:34-42 When people experience the joy of God, it spreads and no one can stop it. Besides, why would anyone try to stop it? John 6:1-15 “Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king.” “Their king.” Their property. God is free, and he is already the King of Love for humanity. Nothing diminishes him, nothing surpasses him. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

thefallenpoe.t The curse of awareness. Narrated by TheFallenPoet. He who sees too much ends up not fitting in anywhere. That’s the weight of awareness. Once you begin looking beneath the surface, the world stops feeling simple. You start noticing the games people play, the performances, the hidden motives behind friendly faces. You realize how much of life runs on unspoken rules and quiet pretending. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. When you try to explain it, people say you’re overthinking, being dramatic, reading too deeply. So you grow quieter. You observe more. You belong less. Not because you think you’re better, but because you can no longer move through things blindly. Awareness can isolate you, but it also returns you to yourself. You may lose the crowd, but you gain clarity. And clarity, though lonely, is honest. instagram.com/reel/DUM7TeGDtKP/
This version is not peer-reviewed. A peer-reviewed version of this preprint was published in: International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research 2023, 3(1), 973-1008. https://www.ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/86 Abstract The analysis reported here is unique in that it is the first study of the original data from the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine clinical trial (CA4591001) to be carried out by a group unaffiliated with the trial sponsor. Our study is a forensic analysis of the 38 trial subjects who died between July 27, 2020, the start of Phase 2/3 of the clinical trial, and March 13, 2021, the data end date of their 6-Month Interim Report. Phase 2/3 of the trial involved 44,060 subjects who were equally distributed into two groups and received Dose 1 of either the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccinated or the Placebo control (0.9% normal saline). At Week 20, when the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. FDA, subjects in the placebo …
Forensische Analyse der Pfizer-Studie: 3,7-fach mehr Herztote bei Geimpften Unabhängige Forscher prüften die 38 Todesfälle in der originalen Phase-2/3-Studie des Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA-Impfstoffs. Zunächst kein Unterschied zwischen geimpfter und Placebogruppe. Nach Impfung der Placebo-Gruppe stagnierten dort die Todesfälle – bei Geimpften liefen sie unvermindert weiter. Schwerer Befund: Über 3,7-mal mehr kardiovaskuläre Todesfälle in der geimpften Gruppe. Pfizer meldete das Signal nicht und es gibt klare Dateninkonsistenzen.
