Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, has defended his decisions to restrict the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to only one location and to prohibit the use any tools for kneeling at Communion. In an interview with AmericaMagazine.org on 26 March, he began with a thinly veiled dismissal of Catholics attached to the Roman rite: "I don't want to say that they're some sort of lunatic fringe. They're not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there's goodness and holiness in that." Leo XIV Would Not Change what Francis Has Done Monsignor Martin referred to his responsibility as a bishop to maintain fidelity to the Church’s "norms". He framed his cruel decisions, especially those relating to the Traditional Latin Mass, as an act of obedience: "All I did was implement Traditionis Custodes in the Diocese of Charlotte." The bishop rejected the idea of extending the existing Masses indefinitely without a clear pastoral plan to end them: "If we need …More
Isaiah 42:1-7 “formed you, and set you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations.” This text foreshadows the presence of Jesus in the world. It can also challenge us. The covenant God makes with us is to fill us with his grace. Let us share his grace by helping people discover joy in their lives. John 12:1-11 “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus.” When a person welcomes God’s love, their heart overflows with the sweet fragrance of love. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
WHY JESUS RODE A DONKEY… AND NOT A HORSE On Palm Sunday, something feels… almost strange. A King enters His city. A crowd shouts “Hosanna!” Palms are raised. And yet… There is no horse. No war animal. No symbol of power. Instead, Jesus chooses a donkey. At first glance, it looks like humility. But it is far more than that. It is a deliberate, prophetic, and shocking statement. A PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED IN PLAIN SIGHT It was Scripture unfolding: “Behold, your king is coming to you; humble, and mounted on a donkey…” (Zechariah 9:9) Jesus is not improvising. He is revealing His identity, clearly, publicly, unmistakably. Anyone who knew the Scriptures should have understood: “This is the promised King.” But again… they missed the deeper meaning. HORSE VS DONKEY: TWO DIFFERENT KINGS In the ancient world, the difference was obvious: Horse - war, conquest, domination Donkey - peace, humility, royal legitimacy Kings rode horses when they went to fight. They rode donkeys when they came in …More

A “security group” around the Rusholme and Victoria Park area near Manchester Central Mosque has decided to start their own security firm. “Manchester Community Watch” started as a WhatsApp group for reporting “unjust behavior” against minorities. It quickly grew to over 130 verified recruits through a strict ID + selfie verification process to keep out bad actors. The group has now applied for Security Industry Authority licences so they can operate legally as a private security firm.
In this home, there’s one rule that stands above everything else: the bond between a father and his son is sacred. It isn’t built through words. It’s built side by side, hand in hand, life alongside life. When the father is outside working—the boy is right there with him. Not inside on a tablet. Not watching from behind a window. But out there—in the dust, around the tools, in the rhythm of real life. They change the oil. Fix what’s broken. Take care of animals. Keep the home running. No matter what needs to be done—the son is there. Watching. Learning. Helping however he can. He’s not just observing—he’s becoming part of it. Part of the world he’ll one day step into as a man. Because boys need to see what it means to be a man who takes action. To solve problems. To build, to fix, to take responsibility, to be a steady presence for his family. It’s not just about a future marriage. It’s not just about the day he becomes a father himself. It’s about the example he carries in his …More

It also reinstates mandatory clinical reports (medical and psychological) for any legal name or gender change, rolling back the full self-determination allowed by the 2018 law. instagram.com/p/DWM-PasjPm5/
Trump presst 6G durch – Die Technologie wird eine entscheidende Rolle bei implantierbarer Technologien spielen. (Winning the 6G Race) US-Präsident Donald Trump hat ein Memorandum erlassen, um die USA zur führenden Nation bei 6G-Netzen zu machen. Die Technologie soll nicht nur schnellere Netze liefern, sondern z.B. auch implantierbare Geräte und neue Überwachungsmöglichkeiten ermöglichen. Die Regierung rechtfertigt das Vorgehen mit nationaler Sicherheit und wirtschaftlicher Dominanz. Digitale Privatsphäre und Sicherheit werden dabei weiter ausgehöhlt. Innovation wird erzwungen, während die Bevölkerung der Strahlung der Frequenzen ausgesetzt und den Konzernen praktisch ausgeliefert wird. Gleichzeitig steigt die Strahlenbelastung massiv: Extrem hohe 6G-Frequenzen können tiefere biologische Effekte auf Haut, Augen und Nervensystem haben. Langzeitwirkungen sind kaum erforscht. Die Strahlungsdichte erhöht sich durch die Notwendigkeit vieler kleiner Sender. Auch die Umwelt wird massiv …More
TheMarketSniper - MBA, CMT. #HVFmethod @themarketsniper Insight: So digital price tags being introduced into the massive oligopoly's in retail food supply chains, are a clear sign that the food corpotocracy are preparing for real time pricing in a fast moving extreme potentially inflationary environment. They will centrally march prices up in all stores via their new digital pricing system. Your checkout cost may increase whilst you are in store, before checkout! We warned of #HyperStagflation as the only statist manner of management into the surveillance state. These are the 'real time' tools that come with this eventuality. They already know, what most citizens conceptually have no idea about, but will find out about soon enough. For the MAGA/Dollar maximalists if the US is winning why is this launch happening in your country if the Dollar is not at some point anticipated to debase in a disorderly fashion. Spare me the 'its just for progress and less staffing arguments'. ------o0o-- …More

Canada is MURDERING people. A January 2026 report by the Ontario Medical Assistance in Dying Death Review Committee (MDRC) highlighted a case where a Canadian woman in her 80s, referred to as Mrs. B, was euthanized despite expressing a desire to live and withdrawing her consent. She requested palliative care instead of euthanasia, but this was denied before her death.
"19. “To approach God we must believe.” (Heb 11:6) Thus speaks St. Paul. He also says, “Faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Heb 11:1) That is “faith makes so present and so certain future goods, that by it, they take on existence in our soul and subsist there before we have fruition of them.” St. John of the Cross says that it serves as “feet” to go “to God,” and that it is “possession in an obscure manner.” “It alone can give us true light” concerning Him whom we love, and our soul must “choose it as the means to reach blessed union.” (Saint John of the Cross)"

Fr. Romano Tommasi, SLD 21 March, 2026. Theological Persuasion, Imperial Governance, and Emergency Ecclesiology: Structural Reassessment of the SSPX in Light of Roman Juridical Practice and Historical Parallels Introduction: The Question Misstated The question of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) is almost universally framed in Catholic discourse as a question of obedience or disobedience, and more sharply as a question of schism. This framing, however, presupposes what must be demonstrated—namely, that the existence of parallel ecclesial structures, sustained over time and involving episcopal ordinations without papal mandate, necessarily constitutes schism in the strict canonical and theological sense. This article proposes a different approach. Rather than adjudicating the rightness or wrongness of the SSPX position, it asks whether the category schism is an adequate diagnostic descriptor at all. It argues that the persistence of the SSPX is better explained by a structural failure …More
2017-05-28 – For Souls Who Feel Discouraged Trying to Do God’s Wil Poem-Song: "Abba's Heart" (Condensed Version) (Solo male, fatherly, gentle, loving, solemn, sorrowful yet confident) My Florecita, let us write for My poor little children, Who suffer the torment of wanting to do My Will, And seeing themselves so poor and incapable, And who feel like they disappoint Me.
