- Folha de S. Paulo, August 20, 1968 - by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Shortly thereafter, a new letter to Cardinal Rossi arrived, signed by 40 archbishops and bishops. This third document is a summary that addresses most of the factors contributing to the immense unrest prevailing in the nation’s religious circles. With a dignity and prudence that even the most passionate opponents cannot deny, this document denounces the authoritarianism of a minority of bishops and their respective technicians, imposing solutions a majority of the CNBB does not want, their silence in the face of the rising tide of modern immorality, and the infiltration of heterodox ideas and subversive tendencies. Those who have eyes to see can clearly perceive that the 40 valiant prelates are not alone, and that their pronouncement has caused undisguised joy among large sections of the episcopate and clergy. One more progressive mirage has been shattered. The Church in Brazil is not, as imagined, a huge ship passively …More
The new homosex club ‘Divine Playhouse’ in Sydney has temporarily closed after its landlord ordered it to "cease carrying on offensive trade", reports Abc.net.au on July 15. The venue opened on 8 July in a former Catholic church. Deconsecrated in 1932, the building has operated as a theatre and performance space for decades. The club's closure followed protests by around 70 Catholics who gathered outside the venue to pray the rosary and object to the mockery of Christian beliefs. Performances included transvestites dressed as nuns, alcohol labelled as 'unholy water', and parodies of the Eucharist. Following the demonstrations, the venue's landlord issued a breach notice. As a result, the operators have cancelled all upcoming events while considering legal action. #newsMyokhnosao
I believe that any building the Church has used for Mass, if the Church wants to sell it, the edifice should be destroyed so no unholy actions ever happen there.

SSPX asks: "Could we suggest requiring contributors to L'Osservatore Romano and professors at pontifical universities to sign the profession of faith and the declaration of adherence to the Magisterium required for full communion?"
26 Years Later: Why Jeanette Hall Is Still Grateful to Be Alive: In Oregon, USA, on July 17, 2000, Jeanette Hall was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Believing she had no future, she asked her doctor for assisted suicide under Oregon's newly enacted law. Instead of writing the prescription, Dr. Kenneth Stevens took the time to understand her fears and encouraged her to consider treatment. One question changed everything: "Wouldn't you like to see your son graduate from the police academy?" Jeanette chose treatment. She survived, attended her son's graduation, and years later told Dr. Stevens: "You saved my life. If I had gone to a doctor that believed in assisted suicide, I would not be here."
The Kathryn Krick phenomenon raises questions for Christians The images are striking. Devotees overcome with emotion enter trances, waiting for hours to meet Kathryn Krick, leader of the 5F Church in Los Angeles, who presents herself as an "apostle"
This really happened. A Catholic history teacher in Scotland was asked by her students what she believed about abortion. She said: "I am a faithful Roman Catholic and I am against it." She added: "It's fine to disagree." By the end of the day, she was fired.
Only God Can Satisfy Your Heart True contentment comes from godliness and a focus on God, not material possessions. St. Paul emphasizes the importance of pursuing justice, faith, charity, and patience, while Jesus teaches that giving up everything for Him results in gaining everything. The key to fulfillment lies in loving God and allowing Him to fill our hearts, as He is the source of all contentment. Fr.

1) If Church authorities proclaim doctrines that are sinful and CLEARLY contrary to the will of the Holy Spirit as expressed in the Holy Scriptures, they do not speak in the name of God. There is no iniquity in God, and God is not the author of iniquity. All iniquity will be uprooted. a) Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 15:20: “He never commanded anyone to be ungodly, nor did He give anyone permission to sin.” b) Matthew 15:13; Jesus answered, “Every plant which My heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted". c) It is public knowledge that, on many occasions, church authorities by demanding obedience and loyalty from those under their care made them victims of the sin of the flesh. 2) Divine law takes precedence over human law whenever the two come into direct conflict. a) Exodus 1:15-17; The Pharaoh of Egypt gave orders to the Hebrew midwives one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah saying to them, “When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth, look closely at the two stones: if …More

Therese Lisieux F3 30. The bond between seeing and hearing in faith-knowledge is most clearly evident in John’s Gospel. For the Fourth Gospel, to believe is both to hear and to see. Faith’s hearing emerges as a form of knowing proper to love: it is a personal hearing, one which recognizes the voice of the Good Shepherd (cf. Jn 10:3-5); it is a hearing which calls for discipleship, as was the case with the first disciples: "Hearing him say these things, they followed Jesus" (Jn 1:37). But faith is also tied to sight. Seeing the signs which Jesus worked leads at times to faith, as in the case of the Jews who, following the raising of Lazarus, "having seen what he did, believed in him" (Jn 11:45). At other times, faith itself leads to deeper vision: "If you believe, you will see the glory of God" (Jn 11:40). In the end, belief and sight intersect: "Whoever believes in me believes in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me" (Jn 12:44-45). Joined to hearing, seeing then …More
The Archdiocese of Paris had planned to withdraw from the chapel Notre-Dame-du-Lys by June because of the cost of repairing the aging buildings - €1 million in the short term and about €3 million over the longer term. The proposal would have abolished both, the Novus Ordo and the Latin Mass that are celebrated in the Church. The Sunday Latin Mass drew around 150–250 faithful, while the Wednesday Latin Mass was dedicated to young people. Following strong opposition from parishioners and supporters of the chapel, the plan was revised. Instead, a religious community will assume responsibility for the chapel and its youth patronage beginning in September. This change has since been confirmed on the chapel's official website, although the announcement refers only to "a Community" composed of a priest and a seminarian, without identifying the institute. According to PaixLiturgique.org, Paris Archdiocese considered entrusting the chapel to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (…More
