After a long day of plowing the fields, an ox returned to the barn and lay down to rest. A cat was sitting nearby, and the ox said: “I’m exhausted today. Tomorrow, I just want to rest.” The cat later went to the dog and said: “The owner is pushing the ox too hard. He’s so worn out that he doesn’t want to work anymore.” The dog saw the sheep and told her: “The ox may quit working tomorrow because he’s completely exhausted.” The sheep passed the story on to the pig: “Starting tomorrow, the ox refuses to work. His job is too hard, and the owner even beats him with a whip.” That evening, while the owner’s servant was feeding the pig, the pig said: “The ox is planning to quit tomorrow and leave. Other owners treat their animals much better. They don’t beat them or starve them.” The servant immediately went to the owner and reported: “The ox is planning a rebellion. He may even convince the other animals to turn against you.” When the owner heard this, he decided to get rid of the ox before …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ

The Venice city administration, led by Mayor Simone Venturini, had not approved the proposed mosque in August.

BEWARE OF THAT EVIL YOU CANNOT SEE, BUT CAN FEEL.... Be careful with that kind of harm you cannot see, but can feel in the way someone speaks, in the judgmental look, in a heart that has stopped listening. It is not a lack of talent that brings someone down. Sometimes, it is an ego growing out of control, inflating silence and dimming the best parts of the soul. Arrogance… that false throne where someone believes they stand above others, forgetting that everyone, without exception, needs others to keep from falling. Conceit… the voice that says, “I know,” “I am worth more,” while closing doors that only humility can open. Overbearing behavior… it is not strength; it is fear in disguise. It is pushing others down so you won't feel small. It is empty power that builds nothing. Stubbornness… the kind of stubbornness that refuses to listen, pride that refuses to learn, eyes closed to the truth. And the most dangerous part… is not realizing it. Believing you are invincible while everything …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
The home of Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, in Florence was burgled while he was in Britain. The Albanian cardinal was received by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle on September 15. According to Corriere.it, thieves targeted the Curia-owned apartment in Piazza Duomo where Simoni lives with his nephew Tonin and his family. When his nephew called with the news, the cardinal’s first concern was not the money: “Did they leave the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje? And Padre Pio?” Told both were untouched, Simoni replied simply: “Allora poco male” - “Then, little harm done.” The burglars smashed through a wall with chisels, forced open an armoured door and ransacked wardrobes, boxes and luggage, leaving their tools on the landing. The haul, estimated at €30,000, included cash, gold, jewellery, medals and a gold seal. Strangely, Simoni’s residence permit was also taken. Tonin and his wife had left around 1 p.m. and returned at 11 p.m. to find the apartment ransacked. Tonin believes the family …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
French military chaplain Romain Ghandou has sparked a political storm, with a prominent left-wing politician calling for his imprisonment. The video is from a 7 Oct 2025 Mass at Carcassonne Cathedral, before soldiers of the 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e RPIMa). “Calm down, leftists! Breathe through your nose,” Ghandou said, drawing laughter and applause. He attacked “liars,” “incompetents” and those who “lecture everyone.” He urged soldiers to “keep fighting” and have “the courage of your convictions,” warning that otherwise France would be ridiculed and “others will take our place.” Le Canard enchaîné publicised the footage Friday, sparking outrage on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), alleged “racist insults” and said: “His place is in prison.” Le Canard linked the sermon to the “Great Replacement,” though Ghandou does not use that phrase in the published excerpt.
« Calmez-vous » : à Carcassonne, un aumônier militaire appelle à dire aux « gauchistes » de « respirer par le nez » La vidéo de la cérémonie a été relayée vendredi par Le Canard enchaîné et a suscité plusieurs réactions politiques.
It takes an exceptionally clear mind and lucid, strong spirit to see in the "small" beginnings, the whole truth of it and the ultimate consequences of that trajectory, resisting it with heroic fidelity.

An incredible debacle: Pakistani Christians could face renewed persecution following the Archbishop of Canterbury’s decision to withdraw an honour to a leading Muslim cleric
Lionel Leslie Andrades2 minutes ago The SSPX still needs to issue a clarification on Lumen Gentium 16 - does it refer to an invisible or visible person in 2026 ?. The SSPX still needs to issue a clarification on Lumen Gentium 16 . does it refer to an invisible or visible person in 2026. Fr.Davide Pagliarani has said that outside the Church there is no salvation but he aceepts Lumen Gentium 16 ( being saved in invincible ignorance ) etc as bein' avisible exception ' for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This was also the mistake of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. So for him outside the Church there really is salvation. For me Lumen Gentium 16 refers to an invisible case. So there are no practical exceptions for extra ecclesiam nulla salus ( Council of Florence 1442) mentioned in Vatican Council II in 2026. The same mistake of the SSPX is made by the sedevacantists Bishops Donald Sanborn and Mark Pivarunsas - and also Peter and Michael Dimond of the MHFM. NY. I have been affirming EENS …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
