by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Communist party of Poland The big question about John Paul II’s visit to Poland is whether it will lead to an impasse, reconciliation, or a fight. More precisely, in Poland, the Catholic Religion has been persecuted ever since the communist regime was established. Does the Pontiff’s visit signal the end of that persecution — or its resurgence? Or does it announce to the world that both sides are content with the present status quo? A wretched status quo, indeed, in which the communists enjoy the carefree position of persecutors, while the Church endures the harsh condition of being miserably persecuted, scarcely daring to raise its voice lest it break the fragile modus vivendi and expose itself to being strangled. The answer to these questions is decisive for defining the new pontificate in the face of the most terrible alternative of our time: communism — yes or no? It tells the martyrs of the Church of Silence what style and degree of support they …More
@mcallansteve I understand what you’re suggesting, but the problem with that statement is that it was the “religion” or the “faith” that was changed in Vatican II. I know many suggest it’s a “new” Church, but the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and can never change. The Modernists of Vatican II could only change the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church, which they have done.
Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge It’s Official: Alberta will vote on Independence after years of abuse from the rest of Canada. If it succeeds, it's 80% odds Alberta applies to join the US.
Becoming independent means just that and not becoming a Yankee. Being "land locked" is a fallacy. There many countries in a similar situation geographical and doing just fine. Important is, getting rid of the woke fascism from Ottawa.
Worse Than Germany: The Spanish Episcopal Conference will award the music prize '2025 ¡Bravo!' to Rosalía for her 'Lux Tour'. The tour heavily incorporates Catholic imagery and symbols, including confessionals, crosses, Marian references, processions, and a stage version of the huge incense burner from Santiago de Compostela. These elements are combined with nightclub aesthetics, sexual provocation, and reinterpretations of religious themes.

"Everybody's do'in it" is not an excuse before judges in this world, nor will it be an excuse in the next. The man in the back of the Church, beating his breast 'mea culpa', went home justified.
Germany’s Synodal Conference "Postponed": Presiding German Bishop Heiner Wilmer said he does not expect the first meeting of Germany’s planned Synodal Conference to take place in November as originally scheduled. Speaking at the Katholikentag in Würzburg, he pointed to ongoing Vatican review processes, saying the proposal is moving “from one dicastery to the next.” Bishop Wilmer nevertheless said he is “confident that it will continue,” while adding that “some patience” is needed. The Synod Conference is a permanent national body that makes decisions for the entire country, thereby exercising authority over individual bishops.

Pope Leo XIV has established a Vatican commission dedicated to artificial intelligence. The “Interdicasterial Commission for Artificial Intelligence” includes representatives from seven Vatican dicasteries: Doctrine of the Faith, Culture and Education, Communication, and Integral Human Development, as well as the Pontifical Academies for Life, Sciences, and Social Sciences. According to the Vatican, the new body aims to promote cooperation and information exchange on AI-related projects and to develop internal guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence. The commission will initially be coordinated for one year by Cardinal Michael Czerny, 79. #newsMymxarmlmb
The problem with AI is the 'magical thinking' which presumes the stuff it is computing with is actual 'intelligence'. Any computer, no matter how massive or fast, loaded with the ideological slop and skewed 'facts' in which our world is mired at the moment will end up giving you back what you put into it. It thereby becomes, inherently, 'fool's gold', or, in this instance, 'fool's god'.

"Excommunication of FSSPX Will Go Down in History as Huge Error of Leo XIV": Talking to EWTN on May 14, Bishop Athanasius Schneider notes that the Vatican shows leniency toward anti-Catholic movements, the German Synodal Way, and even state-controlled forces like Communist China, while cracking down harshly on the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X: “Now it seems that the Vatican and the Pope are showing their power: ‘We have the power. We will excommunicate them.’ This is not synodal. This is not pastoral. If the Pope excommunicates them, it will go down in history as a huge error of rigidity, pastoral rigidity, and one-sided severity toward tradition in the Church.”
Bishop Schneider told EWTN that if Pope Leo excommunicates the SSPX “this will go down in history as a huge error in pastoral rigidity and one-sided pastoral severity towards tradition in the Church”
