Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke celebrated a Pontifical High Mass according to the traditional Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady (Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk) on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam on September 5. Hundreds of Catholics attended and then processed through the Dutch capital to pray the Rosary publicly in Vondelpark. Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht and Bishop Jan Hendriks of Haarlem-Amsterdam were also present. Floris van Rijn, 23, told Nd.nl that he had never previously experienced the traditional liturgy, “It took some getting used to, but it was beautiful,” he said. Van Rijn described Cardinal Burke’s presence and the opportunity to attend the Mass as “a unique chance.” In Vondelpark, hundreds gathered around the statue of the Blessed Virgin carried in the procession. Priests wearing purple stoles heard confessions outdoors while the Rosary was recited in multiple languages. The prayers could be heard in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Polish, Slovak, Latin …अधिक
At the start of the Ukraine War, Russian media claimed that the “Special Military Operation” was necessary to stop an alleged genocide against Russian-speakers in Donbas. This was a propaganda fabrication which people in many countries have believed. A similar claim was made at the start of Russia’s 2008 invasion of Georgia. Russian television also repeats the claim that Russia is fighting fascism in Ukraine. Such claims are in accordance with “chronographic suturing,” in which the past and present are knitted together (as Putin did in his 2001 speech marking the sixtieth anniversary of the German invasion of the USSR).

Pope Leo XIV is willing to speak with Trump - but Trump has to make the call. In a July 3 interview with Piers Morgan, Louis Prevost, the pope’s older brother and an outspoken Trump supporter, said he had asked Leo XIV whether he’d speak to President Trump. Leo XIV replied: “Sure, if you want, but he has to call me.” Prevost explained: “That’s a Vatican rule. You have to request from the Pope. The Pope doesn’t go.”

The Crusader of the 20th Century - Chap. III, 6. Eucharistic Congress of 1942 A few months later the archbishop of São Paulo died. His successor, Archbishop José Gaspar de Afonseca e Silva,54 was a very different person. If Archbishop Leopoldo e Silva’s character was that of a man who was unflinching, who commanded respect and even fear, Archbishop José Gaspar’s nature was pleasant and attractive. It was not always easy to understand his real thoughts and interpret his choices, which were often inspired by a strong sense of politics and diplomacy. His first actions did not fail to arouse surprise. On 11 March 1940 he entrusted Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira with the most prestigious of roles: that of President of the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Action of São Paulo. During the same period Father de Castro Mayer was nominated Assistant-General of Catholic Action of São Paulo, while Father de Proença Sigaud was appointed Archdiocesan Assistant of the male and female Student Youth. Thus …अधिक
Dominic Auricchio says he first felt called to the priesthood at age 4, after a dream in which he says God spoke to him. Five years later, doctors discovered a mass in his brain. In 2023, Dominic says he had a vision of a woman he believes was the Virgin Mary, who told him everything would be OK. A subsequent scan showed the mass had begun to shrink, and surgery was no longer considered necessary. His mother believes God healed him. Medication may have contributed to the improvement. Now 13, Dominic remains active in his Catholic parish and says he hopes to join the Marines before pursuing the priesthood.

Cardinal Domenico Battaglia of Naples wrote the foreword to a new Catholic book on transgender people, writing that “no one is excluded from the heart of God.”
Cardinal Domenico Battaglia, 63, of Naples, Italy, wrote the foreword to the book 'Transgender People'. He believes that the Church is called to "renew its gaze upon humanity". The book deals with “complex and sensitive issues,” he writes. His examples are “gender dysphoria, transgender identities, and life experiences that do not conform to traditional models.” This raises “profound questions - including for the Church.” Cardinal Battaglia proposes “a path not of condemnation, but of accompaniment”: “No one is excluded from God’s heart.” And: “No life is foreign to the mystery of salvation.” “Every person, every story - even those that seem distant or difficult to understand - carries within it the possibility of a revelation.” The book “reminds us that behind ideas there are people. People whom we must encounter, listen to, and accompany.” #newsUqdcmgjzfp
THE WARNING – JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS TO PRIESTS – BOOK OF TRUTH (PDF) THE WARNING – JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS TO PRIESTS From the Book of Truth (Maria Divine Mercy) “Warning to Clergy” Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 @ 09:55 My daughter, you were rejected yesterday as people tried to put doubts in your mind. You suffered for this. Do not despair. My Word will be heard. You will face obstacles that will make you feel disillusioned with the Work. My daughter, I Am guiding you. You must remember this and never forget My promise. I did, as you requested, and allowed you to sleep peacefully last night. You are stronger now. Can’t you feel this? Be careful who you communicate with. My followers, or those you think are My followers, are not always as they seem. You must do what your heart tells you. The world may seem as it always has, but there is change and it is happening now. This change is leading mankind into a darkness that will envelop them and which clouds their love for Me. Why must My children …अधिक
WANTS FOX OFF THE AIR Francis Maxwell reports on growing signs of a remarkable shift at Fox News, as the network increasingly confronts with economic data, sinking poll numbers, and reporting he doesn’t want to hear. With lashing out at Fox reporters, Maria Bartiromo abruptly out, and Republicans distancing themselves from the president ahead of the midterms, cracks are beginning to show.

The Pillar is reporting on their recent podcast episode that the Holy Father Pope Leo XIV is widely expected to name a new batch of Cardinals, likely in the next week or so, with it possibly being as soon as this Sunday.
The Little Rabbit That Chose the Better Part - … From September 1 to October 4, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi—in 2026 we mark the eighth centenary of his death—the Church leads us into the Season of Creation. In the spirit of this season, we contemplate this illumination painted around 1480, which comes to us from the close of the Middle Ages, when the image, with its poetic and symbolic language, sets us before the very foreground of the creative act. And now, behold See how everything begins, not in matter, but in glory. There is not a primordial chaos; there is gold. This burning sheet, silent, sovereign, does not represent a thing, but the glory of Being. Gold, here, is the radiance of glory; it is light before it has encountered any obstacle; it is the first morning of the world, even before the dawn has received a name. God said, “Let there be light!” The gold background does not merely fill the image; it grounds it. It does not decorate the world; it proclaims its source …अधिक
Nevertheless, LaGrange was censured and punished, and that she didn’t have to apologize is a minor victory. The real message here is that the sexual religion of gender identity and sexual orientation trumps Catholicism. And parents do little while the bishops remain silent.
