THE “distinctiveness” that, 50 years ago, was a source of embarrassment to Roman Catholics is drawing young people to the Church and keeping their faith alive, a new book argues. In a post-modern culture characterised by the search for identity, belonging, and meaning, it is “strong religious subcultures” that will often draw young people into the fold, argues the book After Secularisation by Stephen Bullivant, Hannah Vaughan-Spruce, and Bernadette Durcan, published by the Catholic Truth Society. When it comes to the parish, the book observes a “growing trend of people choosing which parish to attend based on reasons other than pure geography. . . The cultural importance of individual choice and authenticity in the post-Christian era has made an indelible impact on the practice of Catholicism.” Growing parishes understand this, the book suggests. Instead of operating as “generalist organisations aiming to serve all in a heterogeneous market” (a quotation attributed to the sociologist …
No Sin Greater Than God’s Mercy The parable of the prodigal son illustrates God’s infinite mercy and forgiveness, regardless of the magnitude of our sins. We are called to recognize our own unworthiness and extend the same mercy and forgiveness to others, as God has extended it to us. By doing so, we conform ourselves to God’s disposition and become more like Him. Fr. Altier is a Priest at Holy Trinity Parish in South St. Paul: Home | Holy Trinity Parish You can also find Fr.

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Gabriele Giordano Caccia, 68, as the new Nuncio to the United States. He succeeds Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who has been Nuncio in Washington, D.C. since 2016 and turned 80 in January. Hard to Be Worse Than Cardinal Pierre Cardinal Pierre, who was born in Rennes in 1946, played a key role in appointing US bishops loyal to Pope Francis. He was also involved in the process that led to the removal of Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, in November 2023, and reportedly directed bishops to abolish Masses in the Roman rite. Casaroli-Style Diplomatic School ("Ostpolitik") Archbishop Caccia has served as the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations in New York City since 2019. Born in Milan in 1958, he was ordained a priest in June 1983 by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Milan at the time. Cardinal Martini was one of the most influential anti-Catholic figures in the post-conciliar Church. Monsignor Caccia joined the Vatican diplomatic …More
Several years ago I attended a Mass said by then Archbishop Pierre and told him afterwards that he was the second French archbishop whose Mass I had attended. And I then mentioned that the first was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (the St. Athanasius of our times.)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 16,19-31. Jesus said to the Pharisees: "There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.' Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover …More
Du hast Gutes empfangen, Lazarus aber Schlechtes. Nun wird er hier getröstet, du aber leidest Qualen. (Lukas 16,19-31) angelyelina
As you try climb up the virtuous ladder to God, the devil will try make you slip and fall many times; visiting the Blessed Sacrament in reverent worship, prayer, adoration and stillness will aid you to hold on to the ladder firmly in faith and perseverance.
@Tech Viral In 1988, Bill Gates imported a Porsche 959 that was illegal under U.S. safety and emissions laws. Customs seized the supercar immediately. Rather than surrendering, Gates paid daily storage fees for 13 years to keep the car held in a bonded warehouse. Determined to drive his car, Gates lobbied for legal reform alongside other collectors. Their persistence resulted in the 1999 "Show or Display" rule. This federal exemption finally allowed rare, historically significant vehicles to be driven on American roads under limited annual mileage. By 2001, Gates officially registered his Porsche after a decade of storage fees totaling over $132,000. This legendary battle changed automotive law forever, proving that with enough influence and patience, even the strictest federal regulations can be rewritten for car enthusiasts. #Porsche959#BillGates#ShowOrDisplay …

MORE BREAKING OF THE LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL AND IN REGARDS TO HUMANITY. DHS KRISTI NOEM THE ANIMAL KILLER SHINES AS A HOLLYWOOD STAR TO WIN THE OSCAR FOR HER LIES AND HER INHUMANE ACTS, AND ILLEGAL PROCEEDINGS TO SHOW HOW LOW BAD CRIMINAL AMERICANS IN POWER CAN REPRESENT THE U.S. BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD, AND STILL BE PROUD. THE IRONY IS THAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES "CHRISTIAN", GOD FORBIDS!
Pizzagate was so fake that all the people being paid to write fake articles claiming to "debunk" it for the elite owned mainstream media just happened to all be arrested and charged for the exact same child trafficking and abuse that they claimed never existed.
“There were four thousand years of waiting, and the closer the time would get, the more pressing were the notices, the more frequent the letters – and everything in order to dispose them. So it is for the Kingdom of my Divine Will; I delay because I want them to know this, to pray, to long for It to come to reign, to comprehend the great gift of It, so as to be able to say to them: ‘You have wanted it, you have deserved it, and my Will is now coming to reign in your midst. By knowing It, praying It, longing for It, you have formed Its chosen people in which It might dominate and reign.’ Without a people, a kingdom cannot be formed, and this is the other reason for making known that my Divine Will wants to reign upon earth – that they may pray, they may long for It, they may dispose themselves to form Its people in whose midst It can descend and form Its Royal Palace, Its dwelling, Its throne. Therefore, do not be surprised if, while you see so much interest on my part, wanting my Will …More
I would like to inform all Trump supporters in the US that although Trump does good things, he is otherwise like a hysterical, egomaniacal little child. I want Danish Greenland (by force or without, but I want it). We are building new warships for the fleet, which will be named after me (Trump class). On top of that, he's basically stealing, or rather robbing. I'm talking about Venezuela's oil. I hate communists, but I hate crime even more. Especially if I could do it because I have the ability and the power. But I won't do it. The EU couldn't steal Russia's wealth because they were scared shitless of the Russian threat, and there were leaders who dared to speak the truth. In Trump's case, our dear US friends don't dare to speak the truth. You are only capable of moderating the truth.
