During a hearing in April, Mr. Crow asked whether Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer who has represented Mr. Hegseth and President Trump, was working on behalf of senior military officers being considered for promotions by Mr. Hegseth. Mr. Hegseth said that Mr. Parlatore, who is also his “special adviser” at the Pentagon and a Navy reservist, had no role in choosing senior military leaders. “He doesn’t represent anyone,” Mr. Hegseth …More
Today, Bishop Emeritus Christopher Saunders, 76, of Broome was convicted of 13 homosexual offences against two young Indigenous men in Western Australia. A jury in the District Court of Western Australia found Saunders guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual penetration without consent. The jury acquitted him on six other charges. The offences for which Saunders was convicted occurred between 2008 and 2019, while he was serving as Bishop of Broome. Saunders was also convicted of offences against a second man, including sexual penetration without consent. The jury deliberated for approximately seven hours before returning the verdicts. Earlier in the trial, the judge instructed the jury that it was not necessary to return verdicts on seven charges and to disregard them because there was insufficient evidence to convict. Saunders pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied the allegations. He did not give evidence during the trial. He is due to face a sentencing …More

Saint Cassian of Imola | The Teacher Martyred by His Own Students | Feast Day August 13 Cassian is traditionally associated with Imola in northern Italy and is believed to have lived during the era of Roman persecution, probably around the 3rd or early 4th century. He worked as a schoolmaster, teaching young students the skills of reading and writing. But Cassian was also a Christian. According to ancient tradition, he refused to worship the Roman gods and remained faithful to Jesus Christ. For this, he was condemned to a particularly unusual and cruel martyrdom. THE TEACHER AND HIS STUDENTS The early Christian poet Prudentius, writing around the beginning of the 5th century, preserved the famous account of Cassian's martyrdom. According to this tradition, Roman authorities handed Cassian over to his own students. The pupils were permitted to attack their former teacher using the tools they normally used for school—including their styluses, pointed instruments used for writing on …More

Ukrainian soldiers report critical conditions on the front lines. A brigade commander claims his troops have gone months without rotation or regular supplies of water, food, and medicine. A group of Ukrainian soldiers took to social media to say they were forced to drink their own urine due to Kiev’s failure to rotate or provide them with supplies. The soldiers urged Ukraine’s recently appointed top general, Mikhail Drapaty, to intervene, claiming their immediate command ignored their pleas. The scandal erupted on Tuesday when the soldiers, claiming to be a fire support platoon with the 121st Territorial Defense Brigade, published their address on social media. The video features several men sitting inside a dark room, likely a basement, with the platoon commander, who identified himself as Anatoly Sischuk, reading out the address. Sischuk claimed that his platoon was in one position in Zaporozhye Region, Russia for nearly four months, despite their command initially promising the unit …More
A group of Ukrainian soldiers took to social media to say they were forced to drink their own urine due to Kiev’s failure to rotate or provide them with supplies. This is not the first time the Ukrainian soldiers had to drink their urine. But this time, they took to social media to complain. Letting the world know how they are treated. Some can "try" to suppress this sort of thing to prevent us from knowing. But sooner or later it's revealed for most to know.
War was a project to kill Catholics. Ukrainian Bolsheviks goading Russia endlessly since the fall of communism. Without the Fatima request heeded. Coming to western Europe too I guess soon too. Maybe via from the south also by goading Muslims by the Bolshevik satellite phony israel.
Mónica Astorga spent almost 40 years as a Discalced Carmelite nun in Argentina and became prioress of her convent in Neuquén. She became internationally known for her work with transvestites because of Pope Francis' encouragement. Astorga meanwhile left the convent and trained in hairdressing. The Vatican formally accepted her departure from the Discalced Carmelites in 2024. She “still” considers herself a believer – yet without attending a Eucharist regularly. Long Connection with Bergoglio Her connection with Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the future Pope Francis, began much earlier. Astorga says she met him when he was a Jesuit in Buenos Aires in 1987, nearly two decades before she began working with transvestites. She later described Bergoglio's support for her as “unconditional.” Beginning Her Work with Transvestites Astorga began assisting transvestites in 2006, after one such guy sought help in a parish. Her clientele included prostitutes, people living with HIV, and impoverished or …More

Virgin Mary Statue Stands Intact After Deadly Quake | Shalom World News In the aftermath of a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake that devastated parts of western Colombia, a video from a Religious Sisters’ convent in Cali has drawn attention. Walls were shattered, windows were blown out and concrete fell around the building, but a statue of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal remained standing on its pedestal. Despite the destruction around it, the sacred image did not topple or show visible damage. For people facing the devastation, the sight of Mary still standing has become a touching reminder of faith and hope, and of God’s presence in times of suffering.
