– Folha de S. Paulo, May 28, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I’m not sure how to condense the lively wealth of material I promised for today into the hundred lines allowed by my article’s strict limit. “Making do” is the classic form of Brazilian savoir-faire. Let’s see if I can do it this time. Regarding the future Civil Code, which threatens to be hastily imposed on our defenseless Brazil like a straitjacket, I have expressed my concern that it will become an instrument of self-destruction for the social classes currently in power. There are many reasons to fear that, under its rule, Brazilian society will become considerably more distant from old Christian standards and much more aligned with communist standards. In other words, those among the bourgeoisie who control public affairs will have led us through a critical stage of the already short path remaining before we reach complete communization. The self‑destruction of ruling classes is a phenomenon of paramount importance, …More
Spanish Bishops Divided over Immigrants in Ceuta: Archbishop Luis Argüello of Valladolid, president of the Spanish bishops’ conference, called the surge “an invasion,” contrasting with the local diocese’s humanitarian response. Argüello said the influx was part of a broader political strategy, arguing that migrants were being used in struggles for “money and power” and that “demographics are a weapon.”
Fr Marek Balawendar gives a reflection on how the Incarnation became the Cross at the Annunciation, though came instant by the communication of God’s message to Mary by Angel Gabriel. Not by power or force rather by humility and love The "Stable" (Wood) where the Magi saw the Baby Jesus points to the Wooden Cross at Calvary where Jesus was Crucified. The ’’FIAT’’ of Mary at Annunciation includes suffering which she did not know until revealed by Simeon’s prophecy and manifested at Calvary. The Annunciation is the fulfilment of the Cross At the Annunciation Mary gives Flesh to Jesus which in turn gives humanity Salvation on the Cross. The Cross helps us to say yes, to understand others, ourselves, etc The Cross and Annunciation teach us hope. The cross is not the end, after the cross comes Resurrection. Uniting our doubts, sufferings and worries with Christ, we begin to trust It is difficult to find Love without a Cross and one will not be able to carry a Cross without Love #stationofthecross …More

Thousands of migrants have crossed the border between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta without control. Overwhelmed, the security forces have opened the gates to prevent mass movements.
Homily for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Preached by father Alberto Ezcurra -RIP- (Audio recorded in 1987 -Spanish). In Sacred Scripture, the sea is a symbol of the world, its frailties, changes, and dangers. The roar of the sea and the waves is also the noise of the world that hinders prayer; for the Word of God, like a gentle breeze that reaches the heart of man, speaks in silence. Only Jesus Christ, Lord of time and history, reigns over the elements and gives us security and confidence. It is not for nothing that one reads on the thresholds of many convents and on the domes of countless churches: "Crux Stat, Dum Volvitur Orbis - The Cross remains while the world changes." And so that we may have a solid foundation, He has placed Peter, the vicarious rock of the true Rock, as the cornerstone of His Church, a rock that remains afloat not by its own strength alone but by the call of the Lord. The Church of Christ is divine because it is fixed in the eternity of God, beyond the …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?

Bishop Raúl Vera: Homosexuality is a natural phenomenon; it is neither a human perversion nor a disease. It is a condition with which a person is born, and one that we must respect and promote. Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com
Homosexuality is a mental disease, just any other, kleptomania, psychopathy etc. The inclinations as such are not sinful, but acting upon is. St.Paul surely was not wrong. The good bishop ought to read the bible more often and not the homo propaganda.
Habakkuk 1:12–2:4 This question is addressed to God: “Why, do you gaze on the faithless in silence while the wicked devour the just?” Why is the wicked not silent, not at peace? Matthew 17:14–20 “Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and from that hour the boy was cured.” It is very simple with Jesus; he is Love, and as soon as he is near a person, they are healed. However, the person must allow themselves to be loved by God and welcome his presence within them. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Moscow: Drone/AI Homestead Surveillance Already Operational as Poultry Registration Deadline Looms. In Moscow Oblast, the first automated fine of 150,000 rubles was issued to a landowner after drones filmed the property and AI identified hogweed. The system then matched GPS coordinates to property data and automatically issued a citation. This infrastructure for continuous automated surveillance of private property (drones + AI + owner matching + automated fines) is already operational under the banner of invasive-species control. Given a right crisis — be it bird flu, radiation scare after a claimed nuclear incident, or otherwise “contaminated” soil or other public health excuse to render gardens illegal — this same pipeline can be flipped to detect & enforce unregistered backyard gardens and flocks. See my previous report on drone surveillance of livestock/gardens : Thermal Drones Hunt French Farmers' Cattle - … source: rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/6a757e069a7947dc692f217a
this same pipeline can be flipped to detect & enforce unregistered backyard gardens and flocks. I love how they say "CAN BE". Planting the seeds of doubt and suspicion in the minds that don't know a thing of what's really going on or behind the event, law etc. Russia uses Surveillance to detect that sort of thing or worse. DANGEROUS THINGS. Not only hogweed but men who are plotting and planning and making bombs to strike or kill inside of Russia. Someone illegally in the country. People don't know how bad it's gotten in Russia. Strikes every day inside. Russia needs to step up protection and detection of any evil or law breaking there is. Most cities in Russia are allowed animals of all sorts like chickens and certain live stock. If they break the law in areas they are not allowed, then they shouldn't have broken the law. Sure does sound logical to me. Hogweed is very poisonous. Why would anyone be growing it in the first place? Or didn't have it removed professionally? There was …More
