Forget the East Wing. The Real Demolition Has Only Just Begun. Aug. 9, 2026 nytimes.com/…rump-washington-landmarks-arch-pool-… By Paul Goldberger Mr. Goldberger is a former architecture critic for The Times and The New Yorker and the author of “Why Architecture Matters.” The proposed “Arc de Trump” in Washington is less a monument than a gaudy construction the height of a skyscraper — a travesty that, if built, would dramatically change the landscape of the nation’s capital. This is probably why President Trump is so eager to get it made as fast as he can. It would be an unavoidable monument to a presidency and a man whom many Americans would rather not honor so conspicuously, if at all. He understands that once it is there, it will be hard for anyone to make it go away. Change is supposed to happen slowly and carefully in Washington, and there are systems in place to make that so. When the National Park Service said last week that the arch would not only block the vista between the …More
Massachusetts has just eliminated any concrete limit on abortion after 24 weeks. From now on, the final say rests with the "physician's professional judgment." But be careful: don't call it a late-term abortion. That sounds too much like what it actually is. Better to call it "healthcare," add "reproductive rights" to the mix, and top it off with "progress." That way—using the right vocabulary—one can applaud without remorse the fact that a human being in the womb has fewer rights the closer it gets to being born.
Massachusetts acaba de eliminar cualquier límite concreto al aborto después de las 24 semanas. A partir de ahora, la última palabra la tiene el «criterio profesional del médico». Pero cuidado: no lo llames aborto tardío. Suena demasiado a lo que realmente es. Mejor llámalo «atención sanitaria», súmale «derechos reproductivos» y remátalo con «progreso». Así, con el vocabulario correcto, se puede aplaudir sin remordimientos que un ser humano en el vientre tenga menos derechos cuanto más cerca está de nacer.
These monitors on GTV keep burying my posts. Especially important ones that reveal the truth on what's going on with trump. They bury them everyday. They refuse to let them be shown. I have ignored some. TRIED to re-post some. But they bury them as well. This one was also buried almost immediately after posting it. Anyone who is not blocked by the trump base, would you be so kind as to re-post it for me. Please and thank you. And may GOD bless you for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Bishop Strickland has a doubt about a possible continuity between the Concile of Vatican 2 and St Pius X magisterium : " If there is continuity, it should be possible to demonstrate it clearly."
Bishop Strickland about modernism within the Church of Leo XIV My dear friends in Christ, Thank you for joining me today. There are some words that once occupied a central place in the life of the Catholic Church but are now seldom heard, and I want to talk about one of those words today. The word is “modernism.” Ask the average Catholic today what modernism is, and many will not know how to answer. Ask when they last heard a sermon about it, and many would say, “Never.” Yet there was a time when the Church regarded modernism as such a grave danger that Pope St. Pius X devoted an entire encyclical to exposing it. In 1907, in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, he called modernism “the synthesis of all heresies.” Those are extraordinary words. Popes do not use language like that lightly. If St. Pius X believed modernism was the synthesis of all heresies, then a question naturally follows: What happened? Did modernism simply disappear? Or have we reached a point where the Church’s own warnings …More
U.S. sailors are freaking out off the coast of Iran—literally: “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” write the terrified sailors as they lose their minds. What happened? A nine-month voyage to the shores of Iran. ---- Well, we’ve actually finished fighting. The crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is freaking out. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” say the terrified sailors; some are trying to jump overboard. So what happened, you ask? It’s just a mission off the coast of Iran that’s already been dragging on for nine months. ---- The sailors’ wives have panicked. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” a sailor from the aircraft carrier messaged his wife via instant messaging. So many such messages from the crew have come in that the information has already leaked to the press. The situation aboard the Abraham Lincoln was reported not only by specialized military publications such as *Navy Times* and *Stars and Stripes*, but also by the British newspaper *The Guardian* ---- “*Navy …More
It's much worse than those things. I just posted a video of a message Larry Johnson received from a newly retired Officer friend of his. He read it out for all to hear.
It is striking that the strong earthquake in Bogotá, Colombia, seems not to affect this chapel of the Good Shepherd Institute at the very moment when the priest consecrates the sacred species during the Tridentine Mass. Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com
Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando. LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters. The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight. Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality” Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.” Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated …More
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson discusses Iran exposing a massive revolt on the USS Lincoln and Iran's involvement as the war takes an unexpected turn. Larry Johnson who received a message from a newly retired Officer and a friend of his who will read this message he was received. It's much worse than we ever thought or was told. Iranian sources say, there are now 7 people dead aboard the USS Lincoln after a brawl amongst the crew members and their superiors.
Please listen to this video. It's much worse than you can imagine. This is why trump want's to prosecute those who are leaking the truth. He doesn't want ANY OF YOU to know what's actually going on. I can only do so much. I post and it's up to you to decide if you want to know the truth or not.
– Folha de S. Paulo, June 6, 1987 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Back in the seventies, the Brazilian newspaper, Folha de S. Paulo, asked Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira if he favored the end of legal restrictions to divorce. His reply is very applicable to the present debate around same-sex “marriage.” We reproduce the newspaper interview here having in mind the similarity between the two issues. _______________ * * * ________________ The Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) had numerous jousts against divorce in its history. Employing every means of action in this struggle, the TFP fought against it until the final moment. The victory of divorce did not result, however, from the fact that a particularly fervid or efficacious pro-divorce onslaught had finally managed to raze the glorious rampart of conjugal indissolubility. Rather, this victory resulted from the lamentable relaxations that occurred within the Catholic milieu itself! But, I insist,…More
Welcome Jesus before that it be too late Yes, God wants all men to be saved, but saved during the life he gives them here on earth, because there is no other. After this life comes eternity, eternal life. I repeat this because even priests find it hard to accept: there is no third life between time and eternity in which we can still secure our salvation. As God teaches through the mouth of Saint Paul: At the acceptable time I heard you; on the day of salvation I helped you. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Now, not tomorrow. That is why the Apostle says: Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Why work out your salvation with fear and trembling, if you can still do it in death, once you are free from the cares and temptations of this world?

"Catholic" Governor Removes Abortion Limits: Massachusetts has removed its gestational limit on abortion. This means that abortions can legally occur until close to birth. Democratic Governor Maura Healey, a "Catholic", signed the law on August 10. Massachusetts bishops opposed the legislation, but no canonical penalties, including excommunication, have followed. Healey was also received by Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2024.
I "Cattolici" (nel senso di movimento politico/culturale organizzato) sono riusciti a spazzare via la Cattolicità. Non sono parole. Le Vittime sono milioni. I "Preti" (nel senso di movimento culturale/politico organizzato, basato sull'assioma "Noi non possiamo essere come i Preti del 1950") sorridono

Unfassbar! Der schwenkt noch die Fahne seines und des user hiti Herrn; Manche können halt die die Destruktion des Glaubens und Tradition der katholischen Kirche von innen her nicht erkennen. Auch ein Beispiel, auf das sich zB Matthäus (13,13) bezieht: „Denn mit sehenden Augen sehen sie nicht, und mit hörenden Ohren hören sie nicht; denn sie verstehen es nicht“
