The train station area in particular is considered a crime hotspot. Google Maps Frankfurt am Main has long championed its reputation as a “melting pot of cultures,” priding itself on being Germany’s most international and diverse hub, but the reality is that crime has soared and the city is more unlivable than ever. As Bild newspaper reports, “No German city is more diverse, more international, or more colorful. But here, too, something has slipped in the last ten years – the cityscape has changed noticeably.” Frankfurt’s main train station neighborhood is now notorious One of the first sights newcomers see is the 53-hectare area surrounding the main train station, known as the Bahnhofsviertel, which has transitioned from an upscale commercial district to a focal point for social friction. Jens Spahn noted in a Bild interview: “Look at a main train station, in Duisburg, in Hamburg, in Frankfurt. Neglect, drug dealers, young men, mostly with a migration background, mostly from …

Pilipino Cardinal Accepts Communion for Unrepentant Sinners: On 20 July, Cardinal Pablo David, 66, of Kalookan in the Philippines, spoke in Mandaluyong City about his frustrations with the Catholic understanding of sin. He said: "We often think of sin as something purely personal. One of my frustrations with our Catholic tradition is that we tend to over-sexualise sin." He recalled that, before becoming a bishop, someone had whispered to him not to give Communion to someone living in sin. Cardinal David refers to this as Phariseeism and an attitude of self-righteousness: "What do you expect me to do? To say, 'The Body of Christ… oh, wait, you’re not married in the Church, get out of here, you’re living in sin'?" Cardinal David believes, "We over-sexualise sin." And: "We often think that sin is only personal. But I tell you, many of our sins are collective sins — societal sins, structural sins." He mentioned drug lords and added that many of our wounds are collective, such as wars, …More
The Latter Times & the Judgment of Nations Margaret C. Galitzin --- Recently I came across a small book titled The Latter Times [Los Ultimos Tiempos] by a Spanish Doctor of Sacred Scripture, Fr. Benjamin Sanchez, born in 1905. (1) This short work, which examines public and private prophecies about the Latter Times, is quite interesting and significant for our days. This is particularly so because many Catholics, overwhelmed by the apostasy and sin of our days, are wrongly thinking that we are in the End Times that will immediately precede the Last Judgment. --- A renewed world, not the latter times --- A Great Chastisement will come over the earth, Zacharias foresees, where only a third part will be left. These, however, will be tried and purified and will call on the name of the Lord: --- “And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein. --- “And I will bring the third part through the …More
Interesting AI research analysis -- Introduction to the Article and Its Context Margaret C. Galitzin’s reflection on Fr. Benjamin Sanchez’s work The Latter Times addresses a growing concern among Catholics: the belief that we are currently in the End Times immediately preceding the Final Judgment. Fr. Sanchez, a Doctor of Sacred Scripture, analyzes both public revelation (Scripture) and private prophecies to clarify this confusion. The article emphasizes that the current signs of apostasy, moral decay, and global unrest—while serious—are not necessarily indicators of the immediate approach of the Last Judgment. Instead, they may point to a Great Chastisement, a Judgment of Nations, which will purify the world but not end it. traditioninaction.org › religious › g010_Judg-1.htm The Latter Times & the Judgment of Nations by Margaret Galitzin Benjamin Sanchez, set out proofs from Scripture that the latter times is distinct form the end times, and will include a great chastisement, or …More
I like your post. I think we are in the time where satan is unbound (Rev. Chap. 20) because Pope Leo 13th had the mystical experience in 1884 where satan asked to try the Church and God permitted it. I think the next step would be the Second Coming of Christ.
From 1991, his personal attitude- The ideology of Marxism and Leninism increasingly were realized as nothing more than beautifully told but harmful fairy tale, caused enormous damage to his country.
The late Belgian Catholic priest Abbé Maurice Léonard, who was publicly mourned by his female “companion” and his “children of the heart,” was not an isolated case. RiposteCatholique.fr has published on January 29 another obituary that renews questions about clerical celibacy in Belgium.

The University of Notre Dame, operated by the Congregation of Holy Cross, has confirmed the appointment of Susan Ostermann as director of its Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, effective July 1, 2026. Ostermann, an associate professor in the Keough School of Global Affairs, has publicly advocated for abortion in multiple opinion columns, describing laws restricting abortion as “violence,” “sexual abuse,” and “trauma”. She even linked opposition to abortion with "white supremacy". Her writings have appeared in outlets including Salon, The Indianapolis Star, and the Chicago Tribune.

Other faculty members also raised concerns about the tone and substance of Ostermann’s abortion advocacy. In a written statement, the University of Notre …More

Fr. Victor Mroz OFM Cap. -Part II: Exile After the destruction of Hanaczow from hands of Ukrainians and Germans – as monstrous as absurd it was considering the fast approaching Soviets – Fr. Wiktor followed thousands of Polish Catholic running westward. In the summer of 1944, putting away his illusions regarding AK (Home Army) that did not cope in the face of “liberators” from the East he became involved with NSZ (National Armed Forces) as a chaplain of one of regiments in the region of Sandomierz (town on the Vistula river) and in the autumn of the same year as the chaplain of the Holy Cross Brigade (Holy Cross is the name of the ancient Polish monastery on the top of the mountain near Kielce, with the True Cross relics, endorsed by Polish kings, e.g. Ladislav Jagiello, the husband of St. Hedwig the Queen, from which the whole region took name; the Brigade was thus named after the region not after the monastery). NSZ was in fact the most realistic thinking Polish underground organization …More
