The Man in the moon stands, strides like a clown and on his hay-fork his burden is mean, so it's much wonder he does not slip down— for fear of showing the famous green screen!
What did pre-1955 Holy Week look like? I know Holy Week just ended, so this post is already a bit late, but let me share with you another version of Holy Week celebrations before the 1955 Holy Week reforms. In this post I’m going to walk you through what a pre-1955 Holy Week looked like, based directly on this 1939 schedule from Westminster Cathedral in London, and honestly once you see it laid out like this, you realize just how different things were compared to what we’re used to today. When I say pre-1955, I mean how Holy Week was celebrated before the major reforms of 1955 that completely reshaped the liturgies. So if you’re a Catholic attending the Traditional Latin Mass today, whether that’s FSSP, ICKSP, SSPX, or diocesan, the format you’re experiencing comes from the 1962 Roman Missal, and that already reflects changes. What we’re looking at here is older, and it has a totally different rhythm. PALM SUNDAY/ HOLY TUESDAY/HOLY WEDNESDAY Starting with Palm Sunday, yes, we already …More
The "Fog" of Disbelief Abril 12, 2026 - Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) Dear brothers and sisters, as Cardinal Cantalamessa has reminded us several times, over the past 150 years, modernity has spread a different narrative of the death of God in the West. A narrative that, instead of exploding in the joy of the Resurrection, as the Church attests, ends, as theorized by one of its most authoritative representatives, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in the sad wandering of the "superman" or the "beyond man" in an infinite nothingness. What good news, what a wonderful alternative, what boundless joy would be unleashed in the hearts of the men and women of our no longer Christian Western world in this beginning of the third millennium if, tired of wandering in the fog of disbelief, they awaken in their hearts the desire to contemplate and touch, like St. Thomas, the "signs" of God's merciful love manifested in Jesus His Son. Signs that the Risen Lord never …More

Liu Feng 刘锋 @LiuInTheShadows Do you understand what Iran just did to the global economy less than 24 hours before Trump's deadline.. they hit Jubail Industrial City.. Saudi Arabia's largest petrochemical complex.. the zone that produces 60,000,000 tons of petrochemicals a year.. 6 to 8 percent of EVERYTHING the world makes.. this isn't a military target.. this is the chemical backbone of modern civilization.. > SABIC.. the fourth largest petrochemical manufacturer on Earth.. is on fire > Dow Chemical's Sadara complex.. 26 production units.. already suspended operations weeks ago > Saudi Aramco paid $70,000,000,000 for their stake in SABIC.. that investment is literally burning right now > 85 percent of Saudi Arabia's non-oil exports come from this ONE zone here's what nobody is framing correctly.. Iran didn't hit a refinery.. they hit the feedstock that becomes your plastic.. your fertilizer.. your packaging.. your medical supplies.. and they did it the night before Trump said he'd …More

Low IQ fanboys. This is what your church wants. Basically man-children. When tradition has been completely erased, there is no need for memory. Everything is transient and juvenile. There is nothing eternal, and thus there is no peace, only disturbance, like a churning adolescence.
This is where every heartbreak will finally make sense. Every unanswered prayer. Every closed door. Every relationship that didn’t last. Every moment you sat there wondering: “God, what are You doing?” It won’t feel random anymore. It won’t feel like it was wasted. It'll feel that everything happened exactly as it should have. Scripture never promised a life without pain - it promised a God who works through it. Romans 8:28 doesn’t say "some" things work for good for those who love Him. It says *all* things work for good. Not just the wins, not just the blessings, but the heartbreak too. The truth is, we spend so much of our lives demanding explanations now - as if we’re entitled to understand the Author, while we’re still in the middle of the story. But one day, standing in eternity, you won’t be asking: “Why did this happen?” You’ll be saying: “Now I see why it had to happen.” The betrayal you thought that broke you? It protected you. The delay you resented? It prepared you. …More
St. John Vianney ~~~ When we must do something we dislike, let us say to God - 'My God, I offer You this in honor of the moment when You died for me'...
