The calm, the coherence and the logic of St. Joseph by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira March, 19th 1976 What was the occasion in Saint Joseph’s life when he practiced logic to a heroic degree? It was the well known episode when he saw that Our Lady had conceived a child of which he was not the father. The Gospel mentions the matter. He was faced with an absurd situation. On one hand, it was evident to him that Our Lady was a saint because her sanctity shone forth in every way. However, on the other hand, he faced a situation that he could neither explain or live with. Instead of denouncing her as was required by Hebrew law, he came to the only logical conclusion: “The unnecessary person in this house is neither this mother, who is the owner and queen of this place, nor the child she has conceived. I am the unnecessary one. I will take my leave and vanish. I don’t understand this mystery, but I will not rise up against it. I will spend my days far off, venerating the mystery that I do not …More

We can’t give you medical care but we can kill you. This is the progressive thinking at Canada Health. How evil. It’s like reproductive choice. We can kill your unborn baby.
In 1947, Italian nurse and postulant Pierina Gilli reported a series of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in Montichiari, Italy. In one, Gilli said Mary appeared with three swords piercing her heart, symbolizing the suffering and spiritual failures among priests and religious. In a later vision, the swords were replaced by three roses — white, red and yellow — representing prayer, sacrifice and penance. She reported another series of apparitions in 1966 in nearby Fontanelle. In July 2024, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith granted a nihil obstat to the devotion associated with Gilli’s experiences and messages, allowing it to be promoted publicly while stopping short of declaring the reported apparitions supernatural.
Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …More
The synodal-conciliar hierarchy canonized Vatican second; today, Vatican II is "saint Vatican second," thanks to the canonization of all the post-vatican II popes.
Bishop Strickland about the Traditional Latin Mass and the conciliar church Brothers and Sisters in Christ, For many Catholics, the traditional Roman liturgy is not merely in danger of being taken away. It has already been taken away. Diocesan celebrations have been suppressed, parishes have been forbidden to continue them, and faithful families have been told that the Mass which nourished generations of saints is no longer available to them. Some now drive long distances to find it. Others have no diocesan celebration within reach at all. Where communities such as the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter remain, the faithful are grateful. These priests have sought to preserve the traditional liturgy while maintaining a recognized canonical relationship with Rome. But precisely because they continue to submit to Roman authority, their people still live with the possibility that permissions may be narrowed, communities displaced, or the Mass restricted again. They know that what is permitted …More

On 12 September, St John’s Church in Hyde Park, London, an Anglican temple, was hired to host Modest Fashion Week London. The runway event focused on Muslim fashion and hijab-wearing women.
More embarrassment for the Church of England. St John’s Church in London hosted the ‘Modest Fashion Week’, with parades of hijab- and niqab-wearing women.
Making blanket statements about "mother love" is naive, at best. It looks good on the Hallmark channel, but in reality, not so much. Ask the Clancy children.
Correct. Our Lady did not intervene for the Crusades to take over the Holy Land (with the Blessed Sacrament already present there). Rather she intervened to aid and protect the Crusaders from Muslim invaders (self defense).
The Saint-Colomban church is being built in Serris, Val d’Europe, near Disneyland Paris. The site will include a parish center, cultural center and Catholic school and covers about 4,000 m².

And yet we still have people who insist he is seeking peace with Russia and Ukraine. I don't know what it will take for some to open their eyes. I would think when Rubio said, we are not intermediators and we are on the side of Ukraine would have done it. Yet, they still deny it and hold Trump up as their hero. And actually think he is seeking peace with Russia and Ukraine.
